TWO LIES NAILED.
Mr.. Hanna Expiodes Fake and Mr..
Hobart Refutes nn Untruth.

NEW YORK Oct 5-As Chairman Han
ma was leaving Republican headquarters
this afternoon he asked what truth
there was in the report that he had written
a letter to an intimate friend in which he
conceded the election of Bryan because
Republicans were unable to control the
labor vote. Mr.. Hanna replied: THE re-
port is absurd the face of it. L have
not written such a letter, nor have l at
any time said anything capable of such
construction. The report is what you
newspaper men, ! believe, call a fake. l

gence and integrity of the American wage

form which means repudiation and 53-
cent dollar. / have never conceded the
election of Mr.. Bryan and | cannot concede
it now when the tide is flowing so strongly
and Enthusiastically in the direction of Re-
publican success
Then you are confident, Mr. Hanna of
the vote of the workingman?"
II am confident that the men who work
whether for salary by the day, will be
with the Republican party in this campaign
for honesty and a sound 100-cent dollar.
Any other Interpretation of the attitude of
the wage earners would be an insult to
thelr patrlOtlSm ana their lnIeilSence, LOT
they have more at stake in this issue than
any other class of men. / don't propose
to discuss in the newspapers our plan of
campaign but I win say that all our
ports indicate that great majority of the
votes of the workingmen will be with US
in this campaign. The silver craze may be
likened to epidemic Its acute stage
was reached a few weeks after Mr.. Bryans
nomination. Like every other malady it
yields to careful and intelligent treatment.
Republican headquarters gave out the fol-
lowing tonight:
"A report has recently been circulated in
the West to the effect that Mr.. Hobart. the
Republican candidate for Vice President,
is president of the Hard Coal Trust which.
1t is alleged, has advanced the price of
coal When Mr.. Hobart's attention was
called to this report he said that while he
did not make 1t a practice TO deny cam
paign rumors he felt that. inasmuch as this
matter had been circulated through the
West, it proper TO make statement,
the substance of which is as follows:
Last December the trunk line railroads
located east of the Mississippi were called
on under an agreement known the Joint
Traffic Association to select three arbi-
traitors to arbitrate the differences which
might arise between these railroads. Only
trunk lines were included In this arbtra-

the results show decided gain in Repub-
lican strength and is believed to be in
dex to the greater political battle which
will be waged at the polls four weeks from
tomorrow, and the extreme satisfaction
with the result expressed by Lieutenant
Governor Cook. the Republican gubernato-
rial nominee found reiteration at the head
quarters of the Republican State central
committee, where it was stated tonight
that Mckinley and Hobart would get up
wards of 10000 majority at the State cleo
ton.
Though to-day's election presented many
local issues which complicate the efforts
to arrive at an intelligent idea of the lead
ing parties strength. in the few towns that,
had both gold and silver Democratic tick
cts in the field the gold men were greatly in
the majority. The weather conditions were
decidedly unfavorable for large vote, but
the leaders of both parties realized that
upon the result of to-day's elections an
estimate for the probable majority in Con-
necticut in November could be formed, and
an effort was made in every town to get
out the fullest possible vote.
Hartford county, with twenty towns
heard from, gives sixteen Republican and
four Democratic. There are seven towns
not heard from. Litchfield county gives
seventeen Republican and four Democratic
towns, while Tclland shows the usual Re
publican strength. Windham county is
looked upon the hot bed of Republican
ism. and in the election to-day maintained
its reputation. In several towns, notably
Windham, the school and liquor questions
were injected into the campaign causing
split, but the heads of the tickets were
voted for on straight party lines, and
Republican gain was manifested in every

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-An immense crowd
of people assembled at the Auditorium here
tonight to listen to the Hon. w. Bourke
Cochran speak upon the money question.
So frequently was he interrupted, however.
by askers of questions that the effect of
his speech was almost spoiled. There ap-
peared to be a pTearranged plan on the
part of the questioners, and there were
at least 100 of them. On several occasions
portions of the crowd took exceptions TO
certain assertions made by Mr.. Cochran.

increased as he progressed so that many
people left the hail.
The officials of the Gold-standard Demo-

Florida People to Vote To-Day.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 5.-Not since
1876 has there been much interest taken
in a State election as is displayed in the
contest that will be settled at the polls to-
morrow. In addition to the State issues
there are many county differences to be
adjusted. AS a rule only Democratic and
Republican tickets are in the field. but in
some cases there are Populist and inde-
pendent candidates. The battle, however.
is between the Democrats and Republicans,
and in the fight for important State offices
the Democrats will win by large majorities.
Fifty thousand votes will probably be cast,
and of these it is estimated that Bloxham,
Democrat. will receive between 10000 and
So 900 for Governor.
