M'KINLEY BEING TRADED
According to a Rumor Being C;rcu-
lated at baltimore

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. "A rumor
is in circulation tonight to the effect
that the Republican candidates for
city officers have entered into an agree
ment with the Democrats to trade Nc
Kinley votes for councilmanic votes.
The rumor is sufficiently definite to
cause considerable uneasiness in Re-
publican ranks as most of McKinley's
votes will come from the city, even the
most sanguine among the anti-Bryan-
ties admitting that outside of Balti-
more the result is at least doubtful.
Senator-elect Wellington, chairman Of
the state committee, however, vigor-
ously denies that there is any truth in
1t, although he at the same time ad-
mits that he is not going to his home
in Allegheny county tomorrow and that
he has paired with a free silver ad-
vocate. SO that his vote will not be lost.
This has been the only thing to ruffle
the surface Of the political mill pond to-
day, although the interest and excite
ment Is noticeably greater than in any
campaign for many years. Crowds
have occupied every available space on
the streets all day long and tonight
there are numbers OF. ward meetings
all over the city. The chairn1en Of both
state committees adhere to their pre-
vtous estimates and there is nothing on
the surface to show which Of them Is
right

going on at this center of interest to-
morrow which will be closed against
inspection. The governor has sat near
an open door most of today, and the
baimy air pressageS clear skies for to-
morrow.
1t was 10 o'clock before the long line
of marchers reached the Mckinley cot
tage, where crowds had stood through
out the evening awaiting the governors
final speech of the campaign. AS the
marchers formed in front of the Me-
kinley house there were shouts for the
governor from the ranks of the torch
bearers and from the thousands who
filled the streets and walks and over
flowed the lawns and up to the porch.
Gov. Mckinley was greeted with
cheers as he appeared. He said:
My Fellow Citizens: / appreciate very
greatly this call of my neighbor and fellow
tow townsmen at this, the closing hours of
political campaigns in American history. The
hour for discussion has passed; the argu
ment is closed. The vast interests OF the
American people are now in the hands of
the people themselves for proper settlement
and determination and there is no safer jury
in the world to sit upon American interests
and American honors than the American peO-
pie themselves But you must remember nay
fellow townsmen, that the battle is not won
until the ballots are in. The great jury OF
the American people can be confidently trust
ed to establish by its verdict that the credit
of the country is to continue unlmpeachen,
its currency unquestioned, its honor IN
stained and the glorious republic undimmed
1 thank you thousand times for the courte-
sizes and kindness you have shown me IN
the past three months, and bid you all good
night. Great applause.)

their gains in the cities cannot be over

sides expect the largest vote in the

DEER SEASON Is OPEN.
FenisOn May Be Looked for for
Twenty Days.

Sunday marked the opening of the season
for deer hunting in this state, and the Sat
urday rains carried scores Of hunters to points
in the northern timber country. Reports in
dictate that the deer are thick. Till Nov. 20
sportsmen may kill deer in this state pro-
Nldlng they DO so in a sportsmanlike man
9er according to law. Trap guns, deadfalls,
dogs and artificial lights are prohibited and
there is a severe penalty attached to con-
viction in all of these provisions. The pun

more than $780, or, in lieu of fine not less
than sixty nor more than ninety days in the
county Jail The hunter is required to bring
down his game by the use of a gun held at
the shoulder. The law also provides that the
hunter shall kill not to exceed five deer in
any one season. It is perfectly lawful for a
hunter to shoot dog that may be found
following deer II the animal is being used by
other hunters.
The laws are supposed to have been made
in the interest of the principles that govern
IN the mind of true sportsmen as we'll as for
me preservation Of game Many aportsmen
think the law is not severe enough with re
gard to trap or set-gun hunters.
1t is stated that there are more deer this
year than for the past five years at least.
There have been no forest fires of any mag
nitude to drive them away from their favorite
haunts in st. Louis county and vicinity, and
1t is expected there win be a great many car
casses marketed this month. Hunters and
markets that deal in game have five days
grace to enable them to dispose of their yeni-
son, but no deer are supposed to be shot after
the 10th inst, and no venison is supposed to
be exposed for sale after the 25th
A light snow fell up north Saturday and
while 1t melted in the streets here, it is ex-
pected it will be sufficient in the woods to
assist the hunters In locating the haunts
of deer. 1t is suspected that some deer have
already been killed and are hanging up in
the woods ready for shipment as soon as
shipment may legally be made. In shipping

An Alleged Effort to Steal the Elec-
ton Unearthed.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 2.-DanieI ].
Campau. chairman of the Democrats
national campaign committee, today
received word from Senator Jones. al
leg1ng that an agent of the gold STAN
dard interests had been detected in
LaWrenceville ILL.,, with a valise full
OF official ballots, which the dispatch
asserted were to be used in debauching
and intinaidating voters. The scheme,
according to the Democratic MANAGERS
Is to mark the ballots for Mckinley
and buy or coerce voters into using
them so far as possible. the ballots
to the alleged agent. Chairman Cam
PAU has sent the following to the
chairaaen Of every Democratic silver
county committee: .e5ls,.4
Our friends in Illinois have discovered a
plot on the part of the Republican managers
to steal the election. They have captured q
yaIise full of official ballots and have caused
several arrests to be made, and will vigor-
ously prosecute everybody connected with the
fraud. Notify every township committeeman
In your county and urge the most. extraor-
binary vigilance on the part OF our people to
prevent the preparation Of such rascality.
Daniel J. Campau.
Aside from this incident there is
nothing new on the eve OF the election.
The state Republican leaders appear
more calmly confident of success than
they were a fortnight ago, and thu
Democratic managers have abated
nothing in their enthusiastic claims
that the fusion ticket cannot do other
wise than sweep the state. Local Re
publicans had possession of the big
Auditorium for a final rally tonight.
Tomorrow night the silver people will
congregate there to hear the returns
announced.

It is a mothers duty to crown her child
with that greatest blessing any human being
can possess good health, This she can
only do by taking proper care of herself
prior to the child's birth, and especially
during the period of CESSATION. Too few
women realize the importance of their own
health. Too few understand that the health
OF their children Is dependent upon the
vlgor and health of the organs of reproduc-
ton. A woman who is to become mother
owes 1t to her offspring to take thought of
the most important and delicate organs of
her body.

mittee is equally positive that Nc
Kin1ey, for president, and Tillman, for
governor, will carry the state Out of
the ten congressional districts, Repub-
lic2ns claim two, with chance in the
Third district, and they claim the Sixth
as doubtful. This claim is hardly well
founded. Conservative judges give the
state to Bryan by 1900 to 10000; to
Taylor Democrat, by 10000 to $4,000,
and seven Democratic congressman GER
tain with possible eighth. The Popu-
list vote is the doubtful element now.
Both Populist electors at large have re-
signed; four district electors have re
signed and the organization as factor
In the presidential race has gone to
pieces
How the Populist vote will divide
cannot be predicted with any degree
of certainty and the committee In
charge of the campaign will say moth
ing, though the resigning Populist
electors charge, in published state
ments, that the committee Is trying to
deliver Populist votes to the Repub-
hcans. The Bryan and Watson cleo
tors ticket has virtually gone to pieses,
and from the best information obtain
able, it is judged by careful investi-
gators that the bulk of the party will
vote for Bryan, some not at all, and
few for Mckinley. In the state cleo
ton the Populists, so some Of the prom
inent men claim, the party being in
state of disorganization, will divide. In
East Tennessee, they will vote for Tay-
Tor. Tillman and Minis, Populist In
this way Republicans expect to bring
Taylor's vote below Bryan's and upon
the Populist vote they largely base
their claim that Tillman will win All
indications point to a hotly contested
election and the largest vote po1led for
years.

IN OTHER STATES.
Estimates as Made From Conflicting
StandpOints.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 2.-While the
Republicans are claiming Mckinley by
10000 up to as high as $4,000, the Demo-
crafts do not seem to regard these
claims seriously but feel comfortably
sure of Bryan carrying the state by
from 10000 to 200. An impartial
stranger would doubtless be inclined
to put down the Democratic claims as
based upon the facts as they exist in
the state, which is undoubtedly for
free silver. AS to the state ticket the
status is somewhat different. The
Democrats are working with great
zeal, but there is some feeling of I'M
easiness, though nine-tenths of the
Democrats are sincere it would seem,
in the belief that Watson will pull
through with at least 10000 plurality.
New Orleans, La, Nov. 1.-The stu
alton in Louisiana is unchanged. The
Republicans claim that the city and
South Louisiana will give Mckinley a
majority which it will be hard for
North Louisiana to overcome. The
Democrats, on the other hand, say
their organization is intact and active
and that Bryan will get $4,000 major
ity and a solid congressional delega-
ton.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 2.-The Dem
ocrats still claim the state electoral
ticket by $4,000, while the Republicans
charged prearranged frauds and give
no figures.
Petersburg. Va, Nov. Both sides
are claiming the vote of Virginia. The
Democrats have lost heavily by tho
gold standard movement. but have
made some gains from the Populists
There is no detection to speak Of in
Republican ranks. The Democrats
claim all ten congressman. but 1t Is
more than likely that the Republicans
will elect three or four. The state Is
probably for Bryan by 10000.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 1.-The situa-
ton in Kentucky is unchanged from
Saturday. The Republicans claim the
state for Mckinley by from $4,000 to
10000: the Democrats claim the same
majority for Bryan

CLAIMED BY BOTH,
But the LOudest Talk in Delaware
Is by Republicans.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. Both
sides tonight are claiming this state.
National Committeeman Wilson, OF the
Republican committee, says that Nc
Kinley may have 5000 plurality. State
Chairman Browne believes there will
be a majority of at least 1900 Both
admit that the election of a governor,
congressman and legislature is in doubt.
Stansbury J. Wiley, state chairman
of the Union Republican (Addicks) COM
mittee, declares that Mckinley will
carry the state by 2.500 plurality and
that the Union state ticket will probably
be elected. Mr.. Addicks predicts the
triumph of the entire Republican
Union" ticket.
Democratic State Chairman Biggs as
serts that the Democrats will elect a
governor, congressman and legislature
and that the electoral ticket is in
doubt, while County Chairman Cochran
says the Democratic state ticket will
be successful and Bryan will pull
through by a small plurality. Mr. Cock
ran comedies the gold Democrats 500
votes in the state. Christopher l..
Ward, secretary of the Democratic
Honesty Money" league, says that
there are $500 Democrats in the state
who will not support Bryan.
