Leland Raises His-Breidenthars Fig
ures Unchanged Richardson Reticent.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. chairman
Leland, on behalf of the Republican
committee. this afternoon claims that
Morrill, viii be elected governor by
10000 plurality out of a total vote of
100000. 0vermyer, he says, will get
$4,000 votes and Pickering (Prohibi-
tion) 5000 Yesterday he claimed
only $4,000 plurality for Morrill, and
said the total vote would be 2s5, 900.
He says Morrill, will run ahead of his
ticket with Blue close up to him.
Morrill,, he says, will carry every
county in the First, Second and Fourth
congressional districts and all in
the Third except one. Broderick will
carry the First district by from 5000
to $500 plurality; Miller the Second
by from 5000 to 5000, Kirkpatrick
the Third by 1900, Curtis the Fourth
by $500 to 1000 Calderhead every
county in the Fifth except one and
will have l,5OO plurality, Ellis the
Sixth by 1,5OO, Long the Seventh by
1,SOO to 1000 majority. Morrill's plu-
rality in the Seventh will be 1000.
The vote on the suffrage amendment,
he says, will be close. The Repub-
licans will elect eighty members of
the house. This year there are forty
eight districts in which there are
three candidates in the field. Two
years ago there were only thirteen.
Briedenthal adheres to his figures
of yesterday on the state ticket which
places the total vote in the state at
2S5,OOO, and dwellings plurality at
1000. He says Lewelling will run
ahead of his ticket in some localities
and behind it in others, but will aver
age about with the ticket all over the
state. Clark will run ahead of his
ticket, with Harris close behind him.
He regards the First congressional
district as close, with Leavenworth
county holding the key to the situa-
ton. In the Second, Wyandotte
county will decide the contest Bot
kin will carry the Third by 1000.
Shawnee county will settle the con-
test in the Fourth. Davis will carry
every county in the Fifth
except Riley. Baker will win
in the Sixth, carrying seventeen of
the twenty-five counties, and Simp-
son will carry the Seventh by an in
creased vote, carrying twenty-eight
of the thirty-siX counties. Breiden-
thai thinks the suffrage amendment
will carry BY majority Of %, 900 and
that the Populists will elect seventy
two members of the house.
Richardson of the Democratic COM
mittee declines to give any figures on
the state ticket.

LONDON, Nov. 5-Volkhowski, the
Nihilist leader, now living here in
exile, said this morning: Il do not
regard the personality Of the car as
of great Importance. II am convinced
that the upheaval of political spirits
in Russian society is such that no car
will be able to stop coming events.
If the car wants to show a new pol
icy the first thing he has to do is to
grant amnesty to the political prison
ers now in Siberia and elsewhere.
The present form of opposition in
Russia is essentially different from
that which prevailed during the Sec
ond half of the reign of Alexander
Ill To-day all parties are revolu-
tionists, including the Extremists.
They have one common conviction
Russia must have representative
government. Iexpect that some gov
eminent officials and officers of high
rank who are among the revolution
lists will use their personal influence
with the young car and show him
that if he wants to enjoy immunity
from attacks and go through the
streets like Queen Victoria, he has
only to become a constitutional mon
arch. That is all we ask. Why should
the new car die of worry, like mis-
father?"

Treachery and Dishonor.
ToPEKA, Kan, Nov. Sat "a meet
ing of the stalwart Democrats of
Shawnee county, held here last eve-
ming, Hon. David Overmyer delivered
strong speech in behalf of Demo
cratic principles, and urged his friends
to stand by the straight ticket and
thereby administer o crushing blow
to the pernicious. idea of fusion in
Kansas.
He told how he had supported Gov
ernor Click and other recognized
Democrats in former campaigns, and
for ten years had labored zealouslv
for the success of Democratic county
tickets all over the state Of Kansas.
and said he believed he was now en-
titled to every honest Democratic
vote in the state. He charged the
Democrats who have abandoned their
own ticket with objectionable treach.
cry and dishonor On the subject of
Senator John Martins desertion OF
the straight Democratic ticket Mr..
Overmyer said.
II was loath to believe that the
published statements imputed to him
were correct Two weeks having
elapsed without denial or explanation

atthey are correct The senator is
reported as saying that the course to
be pursued by Democrats will depend
upon circumstances. What circum-
stances? The senator is reported as
saying:
There is no doubt that the ticket
is a good one. 1t is Democratic all
the way through, and it was intended
to be such when it was nominated.
The convention which put it before
the people was composed of Demo
Gratis. The men who made it were
sincere and honest in their inten-
lions, and the party managers are en-
deavoring to carry out the will of the
convention
"All this being true, what possible
circumstances could justify Demo
crat in Withholding his support from
the ticket? The senator is reported
as saying that he had not lat the time
OF his interview withheld his support
from the ticket; also, that he would
like to see 0vermyer elected, mean
ing, OF course, the entire state ticket
also. What does this mean? The
senator has it in his power to make it
all plain. If he fails to do so, he will.
OF course, understand that the Demo
cratic party will adopt that explana-
ton which shall be dictated by the
principle OF self preservation, which
is the first law of political parties as
it is of nature.

TRADE SITUATION.
Dun's Weekly Review OF the Business
World.

World.
New YORK, Nov. j.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The last week of October, with an
election near, cannot indicate much Of
the true condition of business. In
some trades the season is too far ad
vanced for great activity and in 9TH
ers the supposed effects of the voting
hinder operations. But the volume
of production is well maintained, and
in one or two branches increased; no
monetary difficulties disturb. Bread
stuffs are little higher and no ma
terial decline appears during the
week in manufactured products. At
present the volume of business trans
acted is on the whole smaller than
last year and much smaller than in
1892, though a presidential election
was then close at hand.
Corn has advanced four cents, with
Western receipts about third and
exports about an eighth of last years.
Yet pork and hogs are somewhat low
er, with lard about the same. Wheat
is three-fourths of a cent higher for
spot and one cent for December, and
it looks as if strength in corn had pre-
vented further decline.

INGALLS, ON THE ELECTIONS.
The E1- Kansas Senator on the Prospects
h. - L..

The Ex- Kansas Senator on the Prospects
/ on the Eve of the Great Battle.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. SIN forecast
ing the probable result of next Tues
days election in Kansas, ex- Senator
Ingalls, says:
Political predictions, especially in
Kansas, are apt to be premature. 1t
is difficult to tell what will happen
till it has occurred, so that it is much
more satisfactory to prophesy after
the event has taken place. Politics is
not one of the exact sciences. 1t has
no formulas nor demonstrations In
every campaign there are unknown
forces that elude the poll taker and
upset the calculations of the village
statesman. The philosopher who said
that figures do not lie could not have
been familiar with the mathematics
of campaign committees. which sell
dom tell the truth, and my faith in
Republican success does not depend
on statistics of population nor esti-
mates of majorities. 1t springs rath-
er from the confidence in the con.
science, patriotism and intelligence
of the people, who have given con-
vincing proof of the capacity for self
government and their attachment to
American institutions. Populism
would drag every one to the level of
the Lowest; Republicanism would lift
every one to the level of the highest.
Populism is despair; Republicanism is
hope. Populism is a sigh and a
groan; Republicanism is a smile and
hurrah. Populism regards this gov
eminent as the worst on earth; Re-
publicanism believes it is the best.
Populism represents all the danger
GUS tendencies, the pernicious
remedies, the exploded theories and
abandoned experiments of modern
society; Republicanism offers an es-
tabliShed system of American policy,
based upon the supremacy of Ameri-
can manufactures, commerce, mining
and agriculture, tested by the unex-
ampled progress and prosperity of
quarter of a century-it stands for
the country, for the flag, for the
home, for equal opportunities and
just laws, for individual liberty and
the sovereignty of the people. Popu-
lism and Democracy have been
weighed and found wanting. The
history of the past two years in Kan
saS and the nation is a record of i'm
becili'y, incapacity, disloyalty, per-
fdy and dishonor, at home and
abroad, which has fatigued public in
dignation. And this is Why l believe
II nsaS will fall into line with Maine
an6 Vermont and repudiate the alien
and polluted rabble of harpies and ad-
venturerS that have defiled our recent
annals We know when we have had
enough"
