the State III 1885 for Foraker as Governor
and Sherman for Senator. Following the
election of Harrison in 1888 the Democrats
in 1889 elected Campbell Governor and Sc
cured Legislature that made Brice SEN
ator. Following the re- election OF Cleve-
land in 1892 came the great triumph OF
Mckinley for Governor and the re urn of
Sherman TO the Senate.
= The Democrats now say that, following
the election of Mckinley in 1896 history
Will repeat. itself on the record of ..eff
years" The Democrats are claiming
Hamilton County by. a large plurality,
and on account OF Its fourteen me bers Of
the Legislature they also claim a: ma j0rity
in that body for the election of United
States Senator The Republicans claim a
large plurality on their State ticket and
that they will have majority in the
Legislature without Hamilton County.
The Republicans mere to- light are Offering
bets even on eiecting their candidates 70:

cede that The result for the county offices
will be close.

years, and the Re pu bllcans seek TO show
that such is not the case. The State con-
tests lend some more flavor 10 the Legisla:
tive contests, although there. are no ex-
pfessions from the Democrats that would
lead to the belief that they expect to con-
troll: the Legislature. but only to reduce
the overwhelming majority that for two
years: has given-the Republicans so much
power. The contest for the Chief Judge
ship Of the Court of Appeals is
a very close one, in the oninion of those
who should be posted. t e Republican
:cand idate, Judge Wallace, mas the pres
tiie OF the Republican majorty of the
pasttwo years, which would seem almost
i'm possible to overcome, bat on the
contrary the Democrats claim that they
will show that their party+is regaining its
strength in the State. and from that source
alone. their candidate, Judge Parker
VIII poll large vote. In addition to this
The Democratic candidate has the advan-.
tage OF being at the head of two .colum ms
upon the blanket ballot and of having the
support OF several of the great New Y ork
City dallies that do not support the regu-
lar municipal candidates.. The Republi-
cans concede many OF these advantages.
but insist that their party strength has
not materially failed during the past year,
and that success for the Democrats is not
TO be thought of.
The contet for the control of the AS
sembly Is influenced in great measure by
the bltterness OF the local campaigns, and
forecasts OF some months ago, giving great
gains for the Democrats, are not in effect
now. Particul arly is this so in the Greater
New YORK district, where: the splitting up
OF The various party votes has led to com
plications that in many Democratic dis
trlcts will lead to the q ctien of Republi.
cans and in Republican districts will give
Democrats chance. To attempt to fore
cast the result with any degree of GER
talaty would be impossible, but it is
claimed that in the entire State the Demo-
Gratis Will glan about thirty members over
the mum ber OF last year. This would give
them sixty-tive votes in the next session,
as compared with thirty-five in the last.
and would leave the Republicans a vote
OF eighty five, as com pared with lis last
year. Some Democrat. claim that the
House will be closer than this,
but the best figures TO be obtained
w Hol seeHi to Call Ior any greater gain,
and he Repu blicans say the Democrats
will not have gain of over twenty at the
utmost. In A bany County the Democrats
claim that the Fourth District will be
Democratic; in Greer County they claim
TO have chance for gain, and in
Chemung and Clinton counties thev
have hopes OF change to the Dem ocracy.
In Erie County the Democrats claim
they will get two or three more, and the
Republican light in Courtlandt gives them
SINE encourage gement in that county. The
gains IN the State will, however, be very
small, and such large gains as may be
expected will be made in the Greater New
York territory.

CONFIDENCE IN IOWA,
Repub leans Expect No Trouble In
Securing The Big Plurality
Ca m ed In the Stats

DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. There has
been no change in the political situation
here during the last forty-eight hours.
The headquarters of both parties were
practically closed to-day. A large num-
Der of speeches were made tonight in
various parts of the State. The Republi-
cans say they can lose 5000 votes as COM
pared with last year, counting 25, OU0 only
as the Democratic loss, and they will still
have the 10000 plurality claimed by their
chairman.
Chairman Walsh of the Democratic
comm tee IS claiming that his party will
lose no votes, but will gain some from the
gold Democrats. He says the Republi-
cans last year polled 10000 votes in ex.
cess Of their normal vote, which was
220 600 at high-water mark un til last ear.
He thinks those 10000 votes were largely
gold. Democrats, and that+those will this
year mostly vote for their party ticket.
Messrs, Shaw and White the two stand:
ard bearers, closed their campaign to-
might, insisting that Tree silver and the
GOLD standard are important issues in
Iowa. The gold Democrats. claim Is, 600
to 10000 votes. The Prohibitionists clam
10000. The fact is that alter the high
tide of last year there is no telling by poll
ticians what will happen tnis year.

CUBAN PATRIOTS

7 ricks Of Spain to Gain I inc
Cannot Check the Battle

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Suns: Ha-
yana correspondent ca bIes General Go
mez writes the following words from
Sancti Spiritus: II need not add what
my opinion is concerning autonomy, after
ehe many declarations / have already
made. My attitude in the field is my best
programme. / have received new expe.
dition from the United States. and soon
the Spanish will hear from our rifles the
manly protest of patriots against all their
mendacity;"
1t is believed in Cuba by those who
know the ingrained ha bits of Spain. that
all present autonomy talk is merely a
dastardly trick to gain time, the favorite
resource Of Spanish states men, and to de-
lay in that way whatever steps may be
taken in the United States, either bv the
administration or by Congress- in favor OF
the struggling patriots.
Even in its promises the Spanish Gov
ernment clearly shows its bad faith. The
autonomy that is to be granted, accord
ing to the Minister of Colonies, Senior
Moret Prendergast, is that comprised in
the programme the. Cuban autonomists
set forth in 1850 Cuba will pay the whole
debt, which amounts at present to nearly
100000. 600, and Spain will pocket all the
important revenues, custom house uties
and direct taxes for the Governm ent.
Furthermore the captain general is to
have the right of veto over all legislation
CT the local assembly.
l have ascertained the opinion of the
most conspicuous representatives of the
Cuban people, in the field and in cities,
and find that they nett t.er believe in nor
will they accept the autonomy offered By
SPAN. The autonomis,s, the Marquis of
Montoro and Senors Galvez, Cueto and
Saladrigas and their small following,
never sided with the revolution. They
were against it from the first moment,
even without any concession from Spain
