WEST VIRGINIA.


Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 31.-Chairman
William U. Dawson, of the Republican
committee, claims West Virginia by $4,000.
and Chairman Andrew Edmiston, Of the
Democratic committee, by from 5000 to
10000.
The chances seem to favor the Republi-
cans, as they have had the best organization
in the history of the State, while the Demo
Gratis have had scarcely any. The Republican
managers are counting on the big detection
among Democrats, which, they claim, en-
lists in every part of the State, and on the
splendid campaign which even their op-
ponents admit they have made.
The democrats figure that the detection
in the party will be offset by gain
among free silver Republican farmers, and
among laboring men,
Chairman ymson, OF the National Demo-
Gratis, gives no figures, but it is understood
expects 900 sound money votes.

GEORGIA..

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 31.-The result in
Georgia is not problematical The Pop
ulists having withdrawn their electoral
ticket in Mr, Watson's own State, the
Bryan and Sewall electors will receive not
only the practically solid vote of the Demu-
Gratis, but also a great many from the
Populists.
1t is not believed that the Palmer and
Buckner ticket in this State will poll ds
many as 5000 votes. Mckinley will get
the solid Republican vote of the State. 1t
ia estiu,;,tea tnat the Democratic plurality
will be approximately $4,000, the Denr.
crntic state ticket having received So ,0CU
majority in the October election.
There seems to be no doubt that every
Democratic nominee for Congress will be
elected

ment tonight in which the electoral vote

Populists made no nominations lot Con
gress and will support the Democratic can
Iidates except in Congressman McRae' dis
trict. The leaders in that district are

can ca ndidate.
The fusion effected last month by the
Democrats and Populsts on the electoral
ticket will largely increase Bryans majority
in Arkansas.
The morning times., 1896-11-01

Bryan will also get many Republican
votes, due TO the exertionSs oI ex-Gov.
Smith, one OF their most trasdeds leaders.
WHO has been earnestly advocating the
Chicago ticket for the past month";
AS to the Congressional situation, there
is little doubt of the election of eight
Representatives in accord with the Chi
caso platform. The only real contest Is
In the Seventh, Howards district, but the
chances are against the return of-the
Populist. The Republicans have u nOmi-
nee, and Capt. X. r. Kolb has been making
vigorous speeches against How ard.
Capt. Kolb's Influence with the Populists
is still strong. and his word has much weight
with them

UTAH.

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 81 The campaign

was perhaps the most uninteresting waged
in any State. The free silver advocates
arein such an ovcrw hcluIing majority that
the opposition almost let 1t go by default.
Its conceded that the Democratic. Silver
Republican and Populist fusion Of the Bryan
electors will carry the State by an over
whelming majority. that the Mckinley
electors may get 20 per cent of the votes

electors will do well if they get one per
cent OF the total vote.

Boise Idaho, Oct The greatest interest
in the campaign in Idaho centers in the
Senatorial fight between Dubois, the present
Republican free silver Senator, and some
Popuiist, probably Claggett.
Tonight the Dubois managers claim
small majority of the legislature while the
Democra tic Z Populistic fusionists accord
Dubois only twenty-five votes, thirty six
being necessary TO elect and the chances
are that Dubois Will be defeated.
Everybody comedies that the Bryan
electors will carry the state, and it Is
only question of how large the majority
will be, although the Mckinley people.

campaign lasted thirty days longer they
would carry the State for the Major.
