AUSTIN Tex Nov. 1.-The campaign

hours the situation while II looks as il
1t were leaning favorably to Democracy, is
in such q position as TO be problematic.
The situation Is such that the Populists
hold the balance OF power and whichever
way they go will tell the story, and in their
present chaotic condition they are the an
certain quantity. Democratic State Chair
man Blake says there will be 50O. coo votes
cast in the State Tuesday. of which num-
Der Bryan and Sewall will get 2I5,000
Bryan and Watson 5000, Mckinley and
000 Blake also says that the State Demo-
cratic ticket will be elected by anywhere
from 80, 900 to 1900 majority. Chairman
John Grant of the Republican party, who
publican party in Texas and is in touch
with every part Of the State. also figures
the total vote at $4,000 but claims from
POS 900 to 10000 votes for the Mckinley
electors and the Populist State ticket on
the fusion arrangement. Conservative pol
iticians figure out that of the 500 900 votes
fusionists, comprising the Republicans,
Populists and gold Democrats are also
sure of 100000, thus leaving 100000 votes as
the uncertain quantity. OF this number it
pocket vote that cannot be placed and it
is therefore very unreliable and cannot be
depended on. The Republican leaders are
arranging matters so as to have the Popu-
lists and silver Democrats waste their
strength between the Bryan and Sewall
and Bryan ard Watson tickets in the hope
publican electoral ticket safe in line. IL
they can be successful IN dividing the
vote they will undoubtedly get the Nc
Kinley electors.
AS TO the congressional lists Democratic
Chairman Blake is claiming all thirteen
districts, while the Republicans claim two
and the Populists two. 1t is safe TO say
that the Democrats will win I'm all but two
districts. The Tenth and Sixth will go to
Republicans and fopulists unless Won
derful change takes place tomorrow.

Republican orators have travelled up and

due largely TO two causes. First, the fact
that the Legislature 10 be chosen on Tues

Murray captured the largest vote, having 174 to his credit. Phil Sher- idan had the largest vote of the Repub- hcan candidates, with Justice John stone good second. The vote of the Fourth ward is as follows:

A LIVELY DAY IN PHGNIX.
The Polling Places Crowded
 all Day.
An Exceptionally Heavy Vote Was .. Cast in the City,
 Took Their Friends to the Pol
 In CarriaReS.

Politics held full sway yesterday in Phoenix. Nothing was talked of but politics, National and local. The day broke bright and clear and large crowds stood around the various voting precincts waiting for the polls to open, so that Ithey might record their convictions on the great question at is sue. There was more interest mani tested than at any previous election. At an early hour carriages and vehicles of every description were securing the city in search of voters. A good na- tured rivalry existed between Demo crats and Republicans, and rustlers buttonholed every individual to get his vote for a certain candidate.
 Wall street was the hot-bed of poli- tics, and all day large crowd congre- gated there and discussed affairs political. Several heated argu ments took place. but no fights oc- cured. In the morning betting was heavy in favor of Bryan, some enthusi- astic Bryanites even betting two to one on general results. Confidence was re- stored among the Democrats over the report that Illinois was going for Bryan Mckinley money, however did not go begging, and every Bryan bet was covered. In the afternoon the Bryan betters began to hedge and even bets of three to one on Mckinley did not find takers.
 The Democratic heelers tried to rust { in several Mexicans in theAThird ward but failed, as their votes were chal lenged.
 Considerable trouble was expected from voters who did not understand the Australian ballot system, but tt those who did not know the rules careful instructions were given.
 The total vote cas-. in the city wa 1 1893 By wards the vote cast was a follows: First, 5oS; Second, 454; Third SIS; Fourth, SIS.
