The Result May BE Held In Doubt.

Since the last presidential election al
most every state which had not then
adopted the Australian ballot system has,
by state enactment, prescribed some form
of secret ballot, either based on the Aus
tralian plan or closely resembling it. The
only exceptions are Georgia, Louisiana,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
Should next Tuesdays election be in any
way close, therefore, it is quite possible
that it may be "a or AS hours after the
polls close before the result is known with
absolute certainty. In a state like Ne
oraska, for instance, where the margin is
not expected to amount TO more than 5000
votes either way, the result cannot be esti-
mated with certainty till the interior coun-
ties are heard from. In Ohio the general
result can be judged from the vote in Gin
cinnati and Cleveland, and in Illinois the
result in Chicago will be a decision of the
result in the state. Other doubtful states
like Indiana, Michigan and Kansas, where
state and legislative tickets also complicate
the ballots, there will probably be no key
note from which the result can be definite
ly determined on Tuesday night unless the
election should prove landslide,

Illinois and Indiana as Types in Next
Tuesdays Voting.
Despatch to Boston Transcript


If a man were shut up in a room with
no communication from the outside world
except the returns from the one state of
Illinois, he could not go far wrong in esti-
mating the extent and nature of the sound
money victory of 1896. Illinois casts "a
electoral votes, about one eighteenth of
the college. Illinois is a type of the great
middle West; one-third of her population
is found in one large city, with its vastly
diversified elements and nationalities and
interests; the remaining two-thirds is
mostly a country population, closely re-
sembling in the north that of Wisconsin
and Iowa, and in the south that of Mis-
souri, and Kentucky. The state has large
agricultural, mining, manufacturing and
commercial interests; she has her "bloated
bondholders' and her revolutionary So
cialists. When the resultant of all Illi-
nois's varied forces is known, the result
ant of similar forces in a much larger sec
ton may be pretty readily inferred.
Next TO Illinois, the vote of Indiana
election night will be interesting. If Bry-
an loses Illinois his only possible salvation
is in Indiana, assuming that he cannot
carry New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio.
This state differs radically from Illinois.
1t has no great city as against the country
to take into account; the population is
much less given to independent voting, and
the contest there will be one straight,
steady pull.

George Fred Says Bryan's Election Is
Sure

George Fred Williams, just back from a
tour of campaigning in the middle West,
spoke to his admirers and followers in
Faneuil hall Tuesday night. In speak
ing of the election prospects he said:
81 am here to bring you some greetings
from the middle West and throw some
light into the darkness of the Boston press.
Indiana and Michigan are no longer in the
doubtful column and with these two states,
allowing every doubtful state to the Re
publicans, it means a majority of two in
the electoral college for William j. Bryan.
Minnesota will also be found on the right
side, and so will Ohio There is not a
Democratic politician in Ohio who is not
sure that the state is overwhelmingly for
Bryan. Massachusetts Democrats need
have no fear, for a Democratic candidate
for the presidency will be elected"
Either somebody is lying on one side or
the other, or somebody is grossly deceived
and is bound to wake up to a prodigious
surprise next Wednesday morning.

sent a second notice on May :, and third notice
stating that the insurance had lapsed, but would
be relnstated II premium paid and health
certificate given. Later still a letter conveying
the same information was sent, all these papers
having been in Mr. Stowell's possession. In a
pocket of an office coat found a check made
by MIR. Stowel for this premium and dated May

full that the company, while recognizing that
there is no legal claim for more than this amount
have still se~n fit TO pay the face of the policy,
$1,000" The generosity of the National Life In
paying the face-value of the policy under the
above circumstances is but in keeping with its
general policy. Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests 10 that their hus-
bands pay the premiums on their policies when
they fall due, companies are not obliged 10 pay
the face value OF policies unless all arrears have

are none too strong for the kind and generous

Judae Bennett,s Position.

The following article recently appeared
in the Wheeling Register, and is reproduc-
ed in the Weston Democrat with the an
nouncement that it is the correct position as
sumed by Judge Bennett in regard to the
gubernatorial nomination:
"The position Of Judge George Bennett,
of Weston, upon the gubernatorial question
has not been correctly stated to the public.
True. he is not candidate for the position,
in the sense of making canvass for the
nomination. Yet it is equally true that If
the party in convention shall regard him as
an available candidate and shall nominate
him, he will accept the nomination and
make an active and energetic campaign.-
Judge Bennett ranks well up among the
most talented and distinguished men and
Democrats of the State. He would reor-
ganize the party and rally around him his
workers, and give to Us a campaign, from
start to finish, of energy, brains, pluck and
fight that would rout the Republicans, re-
establish the supremacy of our party, and
give to the State one Of the best Governors
it has ever had"
The Register still insists that the Govern
or this year should come from the eastern
panhandle. We have two available men
right here in Jefferson county-HOn. A. 5.
cambridge and Col. Forrest w. Brown
And Judge f. Boyd Faulkner is next door
in Berkeley county.
II we may take the liberty, however, Of
making a second choice-in the event that
circumstances should prevent the nomina'
ton coming this wayne should not hest
tate in naming Judge Bennett. He Is a
man of high character and great ability,
and would bring to the Office of Governor
dignity and integrity most desirable in such
place. There seems to be growing inn
preston in his favor throughout the State
The people generally express desire to see
not only change in the personality of our
Governor as required by law, but a complete
revolution in the very spirit and atmosphere
They want Governor who will command
respect at home and abroad, and who shall
be far above the level of the common pot
house politician who sees nothing in public
affairs but his own personal advantage
We believe Judge Bennett is the sort OF
man who would fill the demand OF the De
mocracy of West Virginia. -Shepherdsto'oa
