REVIEW OF THE CAMPAIGN IN EVERY STATE.
Great Changes to Be Made in the House
of Representatives.

election will return four republicans There
is chance that one Of the other three
members elected will be a populist. 1t Is
probable that Hilborn, republican, will be
elected in the third district In the place Of
republican will be elected In the place of
Representative Cannon, the populist-demo-
crat, now representing the sixth district.
Colorado.
Colorado will elect all its state officers
and the legislature. which will choose a
United States Senator to succeed Edward
o. Wolcott, republican. The people will

constitution of the state. The vote of Col
orado for President in 1892 was: Demo-
crat-populist fusion, 1854; republican,
$500: prohibition, 1,6S7. The congressional
candidates are:
First District. Second District
j. L. Bottom, Dem. T. NJ. Bowen, Rep.
]. A. Shafroth, Rep. G. o. Pierce, Ind
II. r. Rhodes, Pro. John c. Bell, Pop.
LATE Pence, Pop. w. A. Rice, Pro.
Owing to a split among the democrats,
there is thought to be no chance of a men,
from this state. One faction of the demo-
Gratis, known as the white Wings" is
opposed to free silver, and so cannot draw
much strength. But Ii Is estimated that
llley may take ABOUT votes from renee
and Bell in each of the districts, thus max
ing the fight extremely close. 1t is thought
that without this split, ard with the popu-
lists Endorsed. as this year, by the regular
democrats, the former would have more
than an even chance of election. The fight,
therefore, is between the populists and the
republicans, with the probabilities some
what I'm favor Of the former. 1t Is said the
legislature Is more than likely to be con-
trolled by the populists, with more than a
nalArifV nnnOSinO IL
cans, and in such an event there will be a
populist successor to Senator Wolcott.
Connecticut.
Connecticut will elect It's state officers and
the legislature. The vote for President in
1892 was: Democratic. $3.50; republican.
I7,013; prohibition, $3.50.

In this state, now represented in Con-
gress by three democrats and one republi-
can, there Is said to be no certainty of the
democrats carrying any Of the districts,
and they feel hopeful of but one. The cam
strictly, and there Is a factional fight among
the democrats in Lewis Sperry's district
over the tariff. 1t is possible that Pigott,
democrat, may be reelected.
Delaware.
Delaware will elect it's governor and the

gins, republican. The people will also vote
upon the question of holding a convention

hibtion, SIG.

s. Bancroft, jr., Dem. g. Beadenkopf, Pop.
j. ). Willis, Rep. w. w. Bullock, Pro.
The democrats feel hopeful of carrying
the state, although vigorous campaign is
being waged by the republicans in the
northern section, which is the manufacture
ing region. The senatorial fight Is an i'm
portant feature of the campaign. The fact
that Delaware's one Congressman would
WELD as much influence as a majority of
the New York congressional delegation in
case the election of President should be
thrown into the House of Representatives
makes the election of Importance.

cede the election to the democrats.
Georgia.
The state election in Georgia was held
early in October. the democrats carrying
the state. The election showed large popu-
list gains, however. which fact has en-
boldened the populists to claim several con-

The assumption is that democrats will be
elected in all of the IL Georgia districts,
t,t very ba ri fight fS being made nv 10
populists in the fourth, represented by Mr..
Tate and in the tenth, represented by Mr.
Black. OF these Black seems to be most in
danger. The democrats realized their dan
ger in these districts very early In the
campaign, however, and extra efforts have
been made,not only by the local politicians,
but by the congressional committee to
maintain the solid delegation of Georgia
The man who is threatening Mr. Black is
the impetuous populist, Tom Watson.
