BARrINE on BIMETALL1sM.


Washington, Nov. Great conf
dence prevails among leading Demo-
Gratis and their silver allies here as to
successes in todays state and local
elections. The Importance of these
elections to the cause of silver is
everywhere conceded.
Hon. Horace +. Bartlne, secretary of
the American Bimetnllic union, and
editor of the National Blmetalllst, who
has been actively engaged in CORES
pondence with silver men in all the
states during the campaign, said to-
day;
"There is certainly no waning of in
terest in the hmetalic cause west of
the Missouri river. In some of the
mountain states Fo-called non-partisnn
movements have been inaugurated the
precise Significance of which do not
know. But they cannot possibly be
productive of any good to the silver
cause II they succeed. The intermoun-
tain states have been regarded as the
Gibraltar of blmetalism in the United
states. The triumph of the ticket of
any faction or party there not known
to be emphatically and unequivocally
for the true bimetallic doctrine will be
hailed all over the United States and
Europe as well MS a weakening of the
silver cause. II would do infinitely
more harm than n similar success in
any other part of the country"

IDAHO MAN mas A MYSTERY.
Makes Big Gold Discovery In Alaska and
Keeps 1t TO Himself and Friends.

Seattle, Wash. Nov 2.-Mystery
surrounds the sailing of an Alaskan
expedition. The company is headed
by George Rennick, an Idaho mine
operator. He and his partner. George
Ninster. are supposed to be the only
persons who have worked in the new
camp, They came out about sixty
days ago and apparently reliable au-
thority says they brought with them
upwards of $4,000 in gold dust. They
discovered the new digglngs, the exact
location of which is jealousy withheld
from the public. Rennick had been
prospecting in Alaska with varying
success for three years. After trying
his fortune at Cook Inlet and Forty
Mile, he went to Stewart river and
thence to the district where he met
with such tlatterlng success. The dig
gings, so far US can be learned. are
between Sitka and the mouth of the
Cooper river and about $50 miles from
the coast. The expedition headed by
Rennick consists OF twenty men, all in
the employ Of himself and partner.
Financially they are reported to be
backed in the venture by Connecticut
capitalists. The little vessel In which
they sailed for the north today is a
steam schooner known as the Au-
Eusta.
Besides the men, he has forty dogs.
twenty seds and about fifty tons OF
provisions, From the sea coast the
food supply will be for the main part
transported to the new camp ON dog
sleds.

GENERAL APATHY

Cleveland, o., Nov. BY noon in n
majority of the precincts of the city
two-thirds of the vote had been cast.
The vote is n most peculiar one in that
straight ballot Is rarity. Some
scratching is being done on both sides
and open charges of fractional treach-
cry are being made by the Republicans.
The rain prevents the formation of the
usual groups about the booths.
The indications throughout the west
ern reserve are that II the proportion
of losses continues throughout the
state the vote will fall off by 10000
over last year. The roads, owing to
the constant rains of As hours, are in
bad condition and the farmers are re-
luctant to come out and vote. This,
added to general apathy, viii make the
vote remarkably light. 1t Is impossi-
bic to foretell the benefit of this con-
dition, but usually in Ohio n light vote
is favorable to the Democratic cause.

points to an exceedingly close race, the

making arrangements to capture the
city by fair or foul means. In addition
to the feeling between the two political
parties. the contest Is made all the
more bitter from the fact that the A.

the Republican ticket. Last year Mr..
