CHARLESTON. W. Va. Nov. 4.-The
quiet prevailing at Democratic state
headquarters !s significant OF the fact
that the Chtltons are back numbers.
Secretary Ohley. who as q matter Of
OF fact. has furnished the brains for the
entire campaign on the Democratic side,
realized at IL o'clock last night that
the whole thing had gone from them.
Inquiry at Democratic headquarters
this morning developed nothing. Mr.,
Ohley had gone home to sleep. As Mr..
Ohley has not had an opportunity to
sleep for more than two weeks past, his
absence was excused.
Before leaving he admitted that the
state, the congressional and senatorial
district and the county had all gone
Republican. He was too tired to give
figures. Reports from Fayette indicate
n Republican majority Of 1900
Republicans claim DORIS election by
at least 5000 majority. kanawha's Re-
publican majority will be from 1000 up.
The national. state, congressional, SEN
ntorial and county tickots are about
even. The vote for county officers will
probably not vary more than 200. At
the Democratic headquarters the county
Is conceded rs Republican by 100, and
the state by 10000: this congressional
district by 5000

CHICAGO. Nov. i.-+Senator Jones Is
sued the following statement tonight:
II have counted from the beginning
as the states upon which we relied for
Mr.. Bryaa's election. the southern
states with l56 votes and tho states
west OF the Missouri with sIxty-onc
votes. making total OF 2l7. have
hoped that we would carry Indiana,
Michigan and Minnesota. I believe that
We have carried every southern state
except Maryland and that we have car
riea all OF the western states heretofore
counted on. which leaves us, not count
Ing Delaware. which I think we have
carried, and which have not hereto
.forc calculated on, 209 votes One vote
we certainly have In Delaware and
probably 3. But counting only one vote
which We have beyond doubt. It leaves
necessary to 4 choice fourteen votes
Either Michigan or Indiana would give
US those fourteen votes. The reports
received by US from both these states
made announcement and lead US to
bSAf<'S tAil Nilllt OOkl States IRE close
that we have the better chance to win
each and that we may probably carry
both.
That there can be scarcely n doubt
OF our getting Indiana under these cir
cumstances. II seems 10 me that we are
entirely Justified In claiming the cleo
tlon Of Mr.. Bryan. which l do. And
believe that the temper OF the people Is
such that they will not allow their
choke to be defeated by tricks and
fraud. The statements made In their
city papers to-day that have given I'D
the contest and admitted that Mr.. Bry-
on ls defeated Indicates deliberate
purpose on the part OF the papers as
well as the Republican managers, to
create false impressions In the minds OF
the people and to lead them to believe
that Mcklnley's clecUon Is accomplish
ed and ncQu!esced In.

Wants $4,000 Damages.

Niels P. Anderson has commenced
suit against the Salt Lake Rapid Tran
sit company and The Great Salt Lake
& He. Springs Railway company to re-
cover $4,000 damages for the death of
the 9-year-old son of the p.aiEtiff. 1t
is Iec.ted in the complaint maj the
boy, William Anderson, was allowed by
the conductors and motoTmen Of the
Salt Lake Rapid Transit company, TO
play with other children around the
company's cars while the cars were
standing at Fifth North street and also
permitted the children to ride on the
Platform of the cars. On Oct. l, 1896,
young Anderson was thus riding on one
of the cars of the Rapid TRANSIT COM
pany when a train OF cars belonging
to the railroad company came upon
the other side track and just. as 1t
passed the street Ger Anderson alglTted
from the latter and was run over and
killed. Negligence on the pGI$ OF the
street car men is alleged in allowing
the child to play about anu ride on the
cars and negligence on the par. Of the
railway men in not Blowing the wnis-
ties and slackenfng the speed OF the
train as it passed the street car.
