Peck Sure Of Victory.

Chairman Peck Of the Demo
cratic state committee said today
that Bryan and the Democratic
state ticket will carry Wisconsin
without shadow IF a doubt, as
he regards the situation. He
says that the accessions from the
Republicans will more than
make up for the detection of gold
Democrats and that the Repub-
licans cannot bank in any such
vote as they had in 1894 when the
people voted on the hard times
issue and were also Disguised with
the Democratic congress. He said i:
eve have shelled the enemy out
of the woods, have them on the
run on the open prairie, surround
ed on three sides, and are sending
the cavalry after them. They
are beaten already. Pioneer

AStraw Vote.

The straw vote has been very
popular all through this campaign,
and straw votes on trains, in boats,
at hotels and even atsocial gather
ings have been the order of the
day. But if straw vote were
taken at any time among travellers
and Mort western people generally
it would be found that the Saint
Paul & Duluth Railroad was the
peoples popular route to and be-
tween st. Paul. Minneapolis, Du-
luth, West Superior, Saltwater,
Taylor's Falls aud other points.
The reaaon is not hard to discover.
The Duluth Short Line, AS it is
generally known, uses the best
and latest equipment, runs fast
trains at convenient hours, has
a smooth roadbed and runs through
picturesque and prosperous
country. All these appeal to the
traveller, who goes where he can
find the best facilities and the
most pleasing conditions. To take
the Duluth Short Line is to go
with the crowd. Ticket agents
will gladly furnish maps, circulars,
and general information, or they
may be as readily obtained by

TAMPA, FLA, Oct. 14.-The
family of Gen. Callazo have re-
celved a letter from him In which
he notes considerable Improvement
In the artillery work of the Cubans.
He describes an attack on the
Spanish Fort, Lonade Nero, near
the town of Auras, against which
the Cubans planted their cannon
about 400 meters distant. He
says:
eve fired % shots into the forth
fications, then we saw Spanish sol
diers hurriedly abandon the fort.
We captured in the fort forty
thousand cartridges, provisions,
medicine, etc. We also found two
dead soldiers. A short time after
wards this fort was completely de-
molished and burned down by
our forces. Another expedition
has arrived and our situation is
improving day by day. We have
arms and ammunition, and should
the Spaniards attempt the winter
campaign, they will find us strong
er and with the moral con iction of
a brief struggle and sure victory.

ANSWER OF MIR. RUDDY.
Denies Allegations Made in the Petition
OF Johu +, O'Mnllcy.

Denies Allegations Made in the Petition
Of john +. O'Mnilcy.
John j. Ruddy. who was elected al
dernlan Of the Twentieth ward. filed his
answer yesterday In court to the con-
test which has been entered against
him by John f. O'Malley. MIR. Ruddy's
attorneys are John J. Murphy and Hon.
y. v. Powderly.
The answer Is lengthy one: 1t be-
gins by charging that Mr.. O'Malley's s
petition was not signed by twenty-five
citizens and qualified electors of the
ward. The allegations set forth In the
contestants petition that u larger num-
ber voted for Mr.. Ruddy who were not
qualified are specifically denied. At
the end Of the answer Mr.. Ruddy prays
the court that his election be declared
in all respects due and legal and that
the contest be dismissed.
In support of the motion to quash the
following reasons are assigned: First,
that Patrick Hannick. one OF the sign
ers. on the contestants petition had
not been a resident of the Fourth dis
trict of the ward. where he voted, to
qaulify him as 4 voter, and he had not
paid state or county tax within the
time required by law. Second that j.
II. Daley was not assessed within two
years previous to the said election.
Third that John Farley had neither
been assessed nor had paid state or
county tax. Fourth. that r. J. Gallery
was not a qualified elector for the rea-
son that he had made bet Oh the re-
suit of the election. Fifth. that Michael
Devanney Is an alien and has not been
legally naturalized. Sixth. that Peter
Lowry never signed the petition and
ne Yer gave his consent to having his sig
nature attached to the petition. Sew
enth, that John Cawley did not sign nor
give his consent to have his name
signed to the petition. Eighth. that
the petition fails to set forth that any
votes were cast for Patrick Roach. who
re ceived at least thirty-two votes for
the office OF alderman. Ninth, that
Patrick CorcOran. one Of the sigEers
of the petition. was judge Of election
In the First district of the ward, and
he, after being duly sworn to perform
the duties Of his Office faithfully, signed
the returns from that district and GER
titled that the vote was true and COR
rect Tenth. that John Wallace. anoth-
er of the signers of the petition. was
inspector of election in the Third dis
trict Of the ward. and he swore that
the votes cast We're true and correct.
Eleventh. that the petition was made
up through fraud and coercion. In that
many of the signers We're in the petit
tion by undue influence.
The court will fix time for hearing
the petition and answer.
