been said in these dispatches relative to
the claims of the party managers in this

republican committee is equally positive
that Mckinley for president and Tillman

have two certain and chance in the

BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT
SWEEPING PREDICTIONS BY THE
RIVAL POLITICAL LEADERS
AT CHICAGO.
FINAL FORECASTS OF THE LEADERS
Hanna Says Mckinley Will Get at Least
3l1 Electoral Votes-Jones Makes
No Claims, but is Confident of
Victory.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-On the night before
the battle, serene and unbounded conf
dence reigns in the headquarters of the
democratic party and in that of their re-
publican rivals as WELL On neither side
is there shadow Of doubt of the results
OF the struggle, and, in fact, so sure are
the two parties of victory that there is
on both sides a feeling of establishment
that the other fellow has the audacity
to claim anything at all. No two pugi-
lists, six months before predetermined
hight, were ever more prolific in assertion,
more sweeping in prediction, or more
overlooking with promises of covering the
opposition with everlasting smash and
utter eternal ruin than are the men in
the headquarters Of both parties. They
can tonight see nothing but success; they
are looking for the sun of success to rise
in the same prodigal way on the morning
which ushers in the battle.
At both headquarters there was today
a general exodus for home and voting
booths.
Chairman, Washburn will remain at the
headquarters of the populst party in Chi
cago.
The following final forecasts were made
by Chairmen Hanna and Jones tonight:
Republican National Headquarters,
Chicago, Nov. FL am confident that
the strength of Mckinley and Hobart in
the electoral college as result of tomor-
rows election will not be less than 81
votes. Our polls, taken by trained men,
indicate that we will carry not only Cali
fornia and Oregon, but every one of the
central western states, including Missouri
and Kansas. There is reason for us to
believe, too, that Texas will cast her
electoral vote for the republican candi-
dates and that West Virginia, Kentucky.
Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia will
be found in the sound money column.
North Carolina is practically conceded,
and altogether the victory promises to be
one of the greatest that has ever been
won by Il candidate for president.
M. 4. HANNA"
Democratic National Headquarters,
Chicago, Nov. I'm tomorrow's presi-
dental election the west and south will
present solid front against those classes
of the east yet dominated by the money
influences of New York City and London
The forces back of this movement are not
as yet fully understood by the conscrva-
tive people of New England and some of
the middlewest states. This is by no
means sectional and their interests are
the same as those of the great producing
states in the west and south. This is Il
campaign in which politicians of both
parties have practically been powerless,
either to advance or retard the onward
march of the people in their demand for
Il new national independence. 1t has
been the peoples fight and it will be their
victory. JAMES X. JONES"

AN AUSTRIAN COMMENT

Vienna. Nov. 1.-The Neue Free
Presse, which published an interview last
week from Il correspondent which was
supposed to have emanated from Prince
Bismarck, today says that it learns from
well-informed source that Bismarck
may be impelled in making his disclosures
by fear that Germany will repeat the
mistake of 1890 by the eventual aban-
donment of the support of Russia in favor
of an entente with Great Britain. which
would be more dangerous, as it would
doubtless lead France to obtaining what
she has hitherto been unable to obtain,
namely, an alliance with Russia of which
the enforcement against Germany would
only be question of time and crcum-
stances. Another move of Prince Bis
marck, the Neue Freie Pressc thinks,
was to show France how little their re-
latiOns with Russia were due to them
selves and how much they were due 10
Germany's mistake in the treatment of
Russia after the dismissal of Prince Bis
marck from the chancellorship. That the
latter is actuated by hatred of Won Ca
priv is an untenable suppostion, as
Prince Bismarck has not regarded Won
Caprivi as the moral author of the rup-
ture between Prince Bismarck and the
present emperor.

FOR SWEET CHARITY SAKE

Report of the Treasurer.

Work Of the Associated Charity of Annap
oils Report of the Treasurer.
All of those who have been interested
in this A association during the past year
were invited to meet at the Court House
on Thursday afternoon. February 20th,
TO near reports from the treasurer and
secretary and TO elect the officers and eX-
ecutiye committee for the coming year.
In the absence Of the president, the Rev.
j. W. McIlvain WAS nominated To pre-
side at the meeting until tue election Of
the new presiding officer. The report OF
the secretary was read, showing that al
though the accounts of the work were
very meagre, there was evidence OF a
fairly successful year. AS far as report
ed there had been over three hundred
visits paid by the friendly visitors; nine
ty.four orders for groceries had been
given; forty.seven donations of food;
fifty-seven orders for coal; twenty-three
bundles Of clothing; three sets OF bed
clothes; seven sick persons had been sup.
piled with milk; two families bad been
given necessary furniture; live persons
had their rents paid; six sick persons bad
their way paid to hospital; 1--WE children
and one woman had been sent TO homes;
four persons had service places found;
ore woman's burial expenses had been
paid, and eighteen medicine orders had
been gotten through the hospital club.
The treasurer reported balance from tenn
porary relief association, $l09.05; sub
scriptions to Associated Charities, ,S46.50'
expenditures for the year, $l24.S5; bal.
ance on hand, $3.50. This small bal
amce is, of course, impossible to work
on, SO it is hoped that all who, by sub
scriptions took part in this work last
year, will renew them as speedily as pos
sible for '96. The subscriptions for 95
would have been entirely inadequate even
with the balance from the Relief AssO-
citation if there had not been several large
donations which have made some much
needed expenditures possible. In re-
viewing the past years work there are
many points in which there is improve
ment to be looked for in the future, but
the chief things that were hoped for have
been definitely accomplished. First, il
has been found not only practicable tut
satisfactory to have all demonstrations
work together for this good. and, sec
ondly, through the efforts of the com.
mittee on investigation and the Friend
~ Visitors, cases Of real distress has
been helped-frauds have been exposed

for the year 1896 are: President, Mr.

Beating His Daughter and Assault
Ing Her Beau.

Ing Her Beau.
We briefly mentioned in last evening" s
CAPITAL of a young man being uncere-
moniously elected from the house of a
young lady on West street by the irate
parent, but mentioned no names. 1t ap-
pears that after the father had dispatch
ed the young man, he turned his atten-
tion to the daughter, and cruelty beat
her. The young girl, it is said. was so
numerically beaten by her father, that
physician had TO be called in to dress
her wounds. Her condition was such as
to cause great indignation of the neigh
bors, and warrant was sworn out for
his arrest. The father Of the young lady
whose name is John II. White, we'll
known citizen of West street, was taken
into custody and Lad a hearing before
Justice w. HalIam Claude, charged with
beating his daughter Bessie, aged about
eighteen years, aud also Roland Stinch-
comb, aged twenty-five, with whom she
kept company.
The father had forbidden Stinchcomb
the house and had told his daughter she
could not keep company with the young
man. Sunday afternoon Mr.. White and
his wife. to whom he was recently mar
ried, went out for walk. Returning,
Mr.. White found the young man in the
house and he Immediately began to chas-
tise him. He admitted before the mag
istrate having struck him with his fist,
and the young man stated that cut over
his eye was caused by coming in contact
with the front door. Mr.. White be-
ing at his heels. The neighbOrs said
be cleared in good shape the six steps
leading to the street on his way TO the
drug store, where his wounds were dress
ed. Mr.. White then turned his atten-
tiOn to his daughter and, while he testi-
fled in his own behalf that he only slap
ped her in the face, some of the witness
es stated he was severe in his assault upon
her.
DR.. Richard Fl. Green, of this city.
testified that from his partial examina-
tion of the young lady he did not cOnsid-
er her seriously injured. He found no
bones broken. There were bruises on the
body. her mouth was cut aud swoolen
and her eye blackened. Mrs. Thomas
McNew, the principal witness, testified
that she plainly saw from her window.
which overlooked the yard where the as
sault was committed, Mr.. White strike
his daughter with bro0m handle. At
tel hearing the evidence Justice Claude
imposed fine of $25 for the assault upon
Miss White and So for assaulting Stinch-
comb. Mr.. White paid the fine and costs,
which amounted 10 $39, and was releas-
ed. The Justice said in passing sentence
that but for the fact that parent had
the right to exercise parental care over
child, and for the further fact that this
was the first time that Mr.. White had
been before him, he would have sentenc.
ed him to year in the House of Cor
rectiOn. The case attracted much at
tention, a number of citizens remaining
in the vicinity of Justice Claude's office,
anxious to hear the verdict. The office
WAS crowded to overflowing, many per-
sons being OH the outside tiptoeing to
look in. The arrest Of White was made
by Deputy Sheriff Stewart.
