Predictions as tO0utCOme
OF Elections.
NEW YORK COMPLICATION.
Pennsylvania Republicans Expect
Big Plurality. :,
LITTLE INTEREST IN BAY STATE.

New York. Nov 2.-John c. sheehan
issued the following statement Monday:
''The great municipal political contest
Is about the close. IL will result In a
great Democratic victory. AS In the
days OF Jefferson, the Democratic party
in this contest has been arrayed against
the party who believe that the masses
OF the people have no voice In the selec-
ton of their officials. 1t has had TO fight
against the greed of the party OF mo-
nopolists. with the federal administra-
tion at its head"
The executive committee of the De-
mocracy OF Thomas Jefferson, in it's final
appeal to the voters, said: The spon-
taneous and pathetic tribute of the c!ti-
zens Of greater New York paid on sun
day night 10 the dead tribune OF the peo-
pic has demonstrated beyond the shadow
OF doubt that Henry George the father.
would. had God spared him TO us, have
been elected to the mayoralty Of our
great city. More than this. ii fore
shadows with equal certitude the COM
plete victory OF Henry George. the son.
who now leads the hosts his father
marshaled. This is still and has been
the struggle Of the people against the
bosses chosen and supported By the
privileged classes. 1t is still. as It has
been. battle for real Democracy within
the Democratic party. The death OF the
great leader does not close the contest
for equal rights.
An official statement was issued by
the Citizens union campaign commit
tee. 1t said: The most striking thing
in the situation Is the complete demoral-
ization OF the Republican machine. This
has been evident. especially since the
meeting in Carnegie hall on Saturday
night, over which the president of the
Republican county committee presided
The abuse OF Mayor Strong and the boots
and Kisses which greeted the mention of
his name have done their work; not as
the machine intended, but have reacted
in producing utter disgust in the minds
OF scores OF Republicans who have come
20 the Citizens union headquarters and
announced their intention 10 support
Mr.. Low. They are simply exasperated
with the machine and its methods
At the campaign headquarters last
night each party professed the utmost
confidence in victory. The betting
favored Van Wyck. the Tammany can
didate for mayor, Seth Low ranking
next. Old politicians are quoted as
saying that the vote for young Henry
George will not be large.

We noticed the timely suggestion
offered by Prof Morton, OF Masontown.
in the columns OF last weeks issue Of
the Journal. Mr.. Morton's suggestion
that the teachers OF the county meet in
Institute work the coming winter
could be made benofi % the teach
ers He suggests that the two districts
adjoioing each other meet at certain
places. We agree with him In evcry
particular mentioned, but let ts add a
little as far rs concerns Kingwood and
Valley districts. by Prof. Morton's
permission, we would suggest that the
teachers meet every two weeks, aud
that the places ~ meeting he at King
wood and Reedsville, alternately.
Teachers may not all feel like coming
to Kingwood. Ringwood teachers have
not exhibited any desire % meet in
district Institute work at this place.
The reason Why, we cannot say. But
majority OF teachers, after being
pcnned up all week, enjoy "A slight ont
ing, and IL the weather and roads are
passable, and especially so IL there be
good sleighing, we fail 20 see why our
teachers would not meet at ReedsvilIo
in Institute work We have been a
teacher ourself and enjoyed those edu-
cational meetings, and while We are
little modest we would certainly
accept the invitation and accompany
the teachers lady teachers preferred
often II they would meet at Rcedsville.
There are many questions OF inter
est 20 the teacher, upon which they
can gain much Information in connec.
ton with their work. Methods OF
teaching, salaries paid TO the teacher
and the length Of time that the schools
should be in session. These, and many
others, can never be properly reached
by all the teachers, unless in district
Institutes. Teachers get together
early aud let us all have winter OF
social and educational entertainments.
let the teachers accept prof Morton's
suggestion and much good can be &C,
complished.

THE WOLCoTT MISSION
Has Met With Gratifying Success in
France.

Washington, June 20, cable
gram from London, giving the sub
stance Of an article to appear in
the National Review to the effect
that the United States monetary
commission, Of which Senator VOL
cott, of Colorado, is the head had
met with gratifying success in
France, and stating positively that
England would reopen her Indian
mints and otherwise contribute to
an extended use of silver, was read
with interest by the government
officials, They had known that the
commission was very cordially re-
ceived in France, and that the COM
missioners were greatly encouraged
by the strong and apparently in
creasing silver sentiment in that
country, as the president had long
since received from Senator VOL
cott a letter TO this effect The
statement that England is ready to
join In the movement to the extent
of reopening her Indian mints is
credited with many doubts, A
copy of the cablegram was shown
to the President and Secretary
Gage, but neither Of them would
express any opinion beyond the
statement that they feared the Re-
view article was overdrawn,

Debs' colonization Scheme.

Milwaukee, June 20. The Debs
colonization scheme has not been
abandoned as has been reported,
Victor +. Berger, editor of the Vor-
waerts Of this city, who attended
the conference OF the leaders of the
Social Democracy at Chicago re-
Gently, says the whole matter has
been misunderstood, He says II is
the intention Of the Social Demo
cracy all over the country to 60 on
organizing IN the hope that event
ually they will get into power and
revolutionize the social system Of
the United States. Meanwhile as
fast as they get means they intend
to send unemployed people from the
cities to a point in the west still to
be selected, where they may have a
chance to make livelihood, The
colonization scheme is only side
issue with the Social Democracy
but Mr.. Berger says the press OF
the country have made it the main
plan, Mr., Debs is in full accord
with the plan outlined by Mr. Ber'
ger, The latter says there are 81
100000 unemployed in the country
and he will consider his party lucky
If they can raise money enough to
transport 1000 to the west, There
was never any intention of forming
a vast army to invade the west in
search Of homes and a livelihood,
