Cheering Words From Illinois.

Many Of our readers will remember
M. F. Smith, formerly a resident of
Rocky Ford, but now in the grocery bus
iness in Joliet, Ill. A recent business
letter to R. s. Beall closes as follows:
1--WE are organizing Silver Republi-
can club composed Of Republicans who
cannot support the Mckinley platform.
Will let you know with what success af-
ter we have our first meeting. Indiana
can be counted for Bryan by 10000 at
least, but Illinois is in doubt and will be
close whichever way it goes. An acquain-
tance Of mine here who came from Iowa
has been visiting in that state for coup
le Of weeks and says there are 16 Demo-
Gratis to l Republican there, while Joli-
ct man spending or 10 weeks
in Massachusetts returns home to say
that he wants to bet $50 that that state
will go for Bryan. They are organizing
er-Republican clubs all through
Ohio and some of them are 500 and 500
strong. While I don't believe Bryan
can carry that state he will cut some
thing Of a figure. I tell you we have
got gold beaten and they know it, and II
is only in desperation that they are work.

81. JOHNS, N. F., Nov "a marine
tragedy occurred here tonight. The
schooner Maggie, while entering this
harbor with % persons aboard, was
struck by the steamer Tiber. which
was steaming outward at full speed.
The schooner sank from the force or
the collision, carrying down with it
IL persons, four Of them women. one
the wife Of the captain and another
his sister. A young married couple
named Powers and brother and sister
OF the name of Holloway are of those
drowned. The passengers were coming
to st. Johns to procure their supplies
for the winter before navigation closed.
Those who escaped were kept af1oat by
the aid Of planks from the schooners
decks and were picked up by the
steamers boat and brought back to
the port by the pilot boat which had
the Tiber in tow. The Tiber continued
on her voyage.

INDIANA UNCHANGED.
Republican Majority Holding Up
Under the Official Count.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-The Off
cial returns from the counties which
are not coming in rapidly, do not
change unofficial figures materially. Nc
Kinley's plurality will stand near 1000.
In some counties the unofficial plur-
ality has been increased by the official
count, while in others it has been de-
creased. The state ticket in many
counties has run right along with the
electoral ticket, but the official count
will probably show that it is something
like 5000 behind the electoral ticket
Mount, Republican) for governor has
led the state ticket everywhere. He
appears to have been strong with the
farmers The official returns show
that the Democrats have elected four
out Of thirteen members of congress.
The four are r. w. Myers, in the Sec
ond district; William T. Senor in the
Third. William S. Holman in the
Fourth, and James Robinson in the
Twelfth. Charles B. Lands, defeats
Joseph Cheadle, in the Ninth district
by about 200. The official count re-
duces the number Of Republicans in
the senate to 33, and the number in
the house to 90, and makes the general
assembly 20 Republican on joint ballot.

REPUBLICANS ALOE W.4lh sOr BE

ACTION,
CHANCES AGAINST SILVER
WHITE METAL RIDER TO TARIFF
BILL COULD HARDLY
PASS.
SITUATION is SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Several Senator's Are Likely to Rrenl<
Away From Party Lines on
Financial Questions.

WASHINGTON Nov. 6.-The next
senate, it is believed, will stand: Re-
publican, "A; Democrats, 35; Populist
ana Independents, 13. This table takes
all states out of the doubtful column,
placing Kentucky and North Carolina
IN the Republican column, as Senator
Butler said today that a free silver Re-
publican would probably be returned
by the fusionists; Delaware in the
Democratic column and Kansas and
South Dakota in the independent and
Populist column. This will prevent the
Republicans from taking control of the
senate unless some of those who bolted
the Republican platform at st. Louis
should return.
1t is difficult to estimate the exact
standing Of the next senate ON the
money question, owing to the new
alignment of parties in the recent cam
paign. Men who have been pronounced
SILVER men have been supporting the
Republican platform and candidates
and pronounced gold men have sup,
ported the Democratic platform and
candidates. Perkins, Of California:
Wolcott, of Colorado; Shoup, of Idaho:
Carter, of Montana; Mitchell, of Ore
gon; Wilson, of Washington, and
Clark and Warren, of Wyoming. have
all voted for and supported silver
legislation, and what course they will
now take in the senate is altogether
problematical. Among the Democrats,
German, Of Maryland; Smith, of New
Jersey; Murphy, of New York; Faulk>
ner, of West Virginia, and Mitchell, OF
Wisconsin, all have voted against sill,
yer and yet supported the Democratic
party in this campaign. AS no free
coinage bill possibly could pass the
house, this fact would influence voting
in the senate on the silver question,
especially in the shape Of a rider to a
tariff bill
The probability is that on q free
coinage amendment to a tariff bill all
Of the forty-four Republicans would
vote against it and possibly some
Democrats, such as Caffery. of Louis.
lana; Gray, of Delaware, and Lindsay.
of Kentucky, who bolted the Chicago
platform, and perhaps even some of
those who supported Bryan during the
campaign. 1t also is not unlikely that
some of the Republican senators who
bolted the Republican platform might
take position which would permit a
tariff bill in which their constituents
are largely interested because Of wool,
lumber and lead ores to become a
law. Senator Faulkner, Democrat, of
West Virginia, said today that the
silver men, by standing solidly with
the Democrats, could prevent tariff
legislation. Senator Butler, on the
other hand, said that he and others OF
the Populists would support the right
kind of a tariff bill, but not q, measure
like the Mckinley bill. Mr.. Butler
wants adequate protection on raw
materials.

'arties, Accurate returns must come

parties. Accurate returns must come
from the state board.
1t is the most disastrous defeat the
republicans Of Kansas have ever suf-
fered. In former elections since 1890,
when they began to meet adversely,
they have managed to save something
out OF the wreck. In 1890 they saved
the governor and had hold over from
the election Of 1888. In 1892 they saved
the house, losing the governor and the
senate, John Martin, Democrat, went to
the United States seante to join PETER,
Populist, and a Populist took seat be-
side two Republicans on the supreme
bench. In 1894 they won the governor
and the house, but the senate was still
Populist, although the Republicans had
majority on joint ballot, which re-
tired Martin from the United States
senate.
This year everything Is gone-the
governor, both branches of the legis-
lature and consequently the United
States senator; five of the six judges
of the appellate court and the election
of Doster to be chief justice gives the
Populists a majority on the supreme
bench. In addition all the judicial
candidates in the districts which elect
ed this year have been carried by the
fusionists, as have also nearly all of
the county officers.

DAMAGE FROM RAIN.
Various Sections i'm Eastern Penn.
syIvania Suffered

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 6.-Re-
ports received from various sections Of
Eastern Pennsylvania indicate that
considerable damage has been done BY
the heavy rains of Wednesday and
Thursday Of this week. This is es-
pec1ally true in regard to mining
regions where many mines have been
Hooded and a number Of colliaries
forced to suspend. At Ashland the
water became so high that the mules
had to be hoisted from the mines.
From Shenandoah comes news that all
the collieries in that region except the
Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron
company and the Lehigh valley have
been forced to close and $4,000 men and
boys are thrown out Of werk for some
days thereby. The Susquehanna river
at Columbia is raging torrent to-
night, is five feet above low water
mark and steadily rising at the rate
OF five inches an hour. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad ferry boats will be
forced to stop. 1t is feared that the
rise will cause suffering among those
living on the low lands south Of CO.

SENATOR HANsBRoUGH.
The Indications Are He VIII Save
His Seat.

FARGO, N. D., Nov. 6-Now that
the Republicans have carried
about everything in : sight. ma
tional and state, the only i'm
portant political question to be
determined in this state is the sena-
torship. The republicans will have
from eighteen to twenty majority on
a joint ballot. This insures the return
of a republican to succeed Senator
Hansbrough, and a careful. analysis
of the situation indicates that the sena-
tor will be his own successor. The
upper house has thirty-one senator's
twenty-four republicans and seven
fusionists. OF the twenty-four repub-
licans, at least eighteen are Hans
brough supporters. In the house.
which consists of sixty-two members
there will be thirty-nine republicans
Of this number fully thirty will favor
Hansbroughs return. This gives him
forty-eight votes, or one more than is
necessary to a choice. OF fifteen re-
publican senators and members not
In the Hansbrough column, at least
twelve Of them are friendly to him.
and there is no reason why they will
not be for him after few preliminary
ballots in caucus.
