Judge Thomas a. Harvey, Democratic
homlnee for Congress Ia the Fourth dis
Erict was in the city yesterday, having
returned from Buffalo where be went TO
attend the fuDeral OF his aunt He is
confident Of his election by decisive
majority. He says il there are any diff
ereDcss among Democrats In that dis
rict they will all be harmonized before
he election, and that the Democracy Of
be Fourth will all be in line on the 9th
ot November.
A good many intelligent Republicans
bf the Fourth district have conceded
Harvey's election. C. II. Cauley, a
prominent Republican Of Putnam coun-
y, was here to-day aud stated 10 the
REGIsTER representative that II Harvey
should carry Putnam county Gov. Mae
COrkle might as well issue his
certificate Of election without hearing
from any other county, but
le was not willing 70 admit that there
vas any certainty about his carrying
that county. Other we'll informed men,
however, think differently about that
bounty. The county, on a fair and
sQuare vote, is pivotal Harrison car
-ied it In 1892 BY one majority, while
nv. w. Thomas, Democratic candidate
or the Legislature, was elected. Put

question Of Judge Harvey's res

THE DEMOCRATIC CANVASS
this Cthe Third district is moving
long spIendidly. Reports are coming
D from an over the district showing
hat the Democratic masses are all in
ne and will stand by the ticket on
lection day. Ex-Governor E. w. VIII
lon, General J. w. st. Clair, Hon. John
j. Anderson, Hon. John shepherd and
btners have been on a canvaSsing tour
q the southern counties for the past
wO weeks, and as a consequence
treat deal Of enthusiasm has been
aroused among Democratic voters.
The Democratic Congressional Com
uittee have established headquarters
the COyle q Richardson building, in
his city, AID are booking some good
peakers from other States.
The Republican Congressional Com
|nittee have closed their headquarters
n this city. It is not known by Demo
rats why this action was taken, but
here are several theories advanced.
9 is believed by some that they have
adopted the "still hunt plan; that
hey have dePrmined not 10 conduct a
Igorous canvass by Speech-making
since Mr.. Huling can't make a speech,
but 90 work quietly among the voters
nd grease Them we'll on election day.
This plan was worked successfully last
pring in the Charleston municipal cleo
tion. The plan was 20 throw the Dem-
0crats of their guard by not making
hny show Of light tin on election day,
when. by the
LIBERAL DISTRIBUTION OF DOODLE
some of the Republican candidates for
city council were elected. Some OF the
Democrats here are inclined 70 believe
that tue Congregational committee have
bdopted this Dla9 aud will attempt to
brow the Dem lcratic Committee of
heir guard ty acessatiOn Of speech
making, and then by judicious distri-
button of money on election day will
attempt 70 carry the election. IL this
be the intention Of Mr.. Huhng's com
|nittee the DEMOCRATS will be prepared
or them, and will be able to block
heir nice LITTLE game.
Another theory is that they have
tiven uD the fight; that Mr.. Huling,
having been unable To secure the 'as.
stance" from headquarters as Wash
|ngton that he sought, is unwilling 20
but his own money into the canvass for
he purpose Of simply keeping up
how OF a contest FithOut hope of sue
sess.
Whether this b5 the true situation Of
fairs in the Rep3 3blican camp or cot, il
evident than a ALTERS among them in
he district are bad shape. AS was
