Some Republican Politics.

The friends of the Hon George c..
Sturgiss, of Morgantown, are taking
Mr.. Dayton at his word, and are set
ting up the pins SO as to give the re-
publican nomination for congress to
Mr.. Sturgss while, it is said, that
Judge John III. Holt, of Grafton,
thinks that seat in Congress would
be more congenial to him than his
position upon the Circuit Court bench
and his friends are beginning to show
some activity in his behalf. Do our
friends realize that there are two
ends, and a great middle part, in
this congressional district, and that
Mr.. Dayton, from this end, has been
in Congress for two terms, and does
it not strike them that common fair
ness requires that the nomination
should so to some other section. when
new man is nominated? If they
fail to see the justice of this, they
will soon be made to understand that
gentlemen from the lower end enter
tain just such sentiments. We have
heard a good deal Of talk like this in
Democratic councils. The situation
in the Democratic party is different.
For a number of years this end OF
the district very cheerfully voted foI
a distinguished son of the eastern
end of the district, and we are sure
that if the West demands the nominal
tion next year, it will be given tc
it without question.-IndeX.

IN GREATER NEW YORK.
Exciting Mayorslty Contest Bringing Out
Heavy Vote.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The exciting
contest for MAYOR of Greater New York
has resulted in an exceedingly heavy
vote being polled today.
Chairman Quigg for the Republicans
says the county committee confidently
anticipates the election of General
Tracy anu feels absolutely confident
that Seth Low will not carry a single
assembly district in the present city of
New York. According to Mr.. Qulgg
the ratio OF votes. as between Low and
Tracy, will be 80 to l, and he expects
to poll total of 200,0 900 votes.
Ex- Mayor Hugh j. Grant. who is
Judge Van Wyck's manager, issued a
statement in which he estimated the
Democratic candidates total vote in
Greater New York at 240, 900. OF these
he expects 1880 in the present city of
New York, $4,000 in Brooklyn and
1915 in the horoughs of Queens and
Richmond. Mr.. Grant. in his FORE
from 10000 to $4,000, and gives Tracy
and Low 1900 to divide between
them.
Charles Steckler, for the Citizens
Union, claims plurality of $4,000 for
Low over Van Wyck in the present
city of New York and In support
thereof gives figures from each assem-
bly, district, which he said are based
upon actual canvasses made by Citi-
zen's Union workers. He added that
certificates and vouchers signed in all
cases by the men who made the cam
vass are on file at the Low headquar-
tiers.
At the George headquarters a de-
tailed statement by assembly districts
was given out to show that George will
have 81 coo votes in the boroughs of
Manhattan and the Bronx. No esti-
mate was made of the Brooklyn vote,
but unless an extremely large George
vote is expected from that quarter, it
would appear, from the 81. 900 estimate,
that the Je.1 ersonian Democracy lead.

United States from the sale cannot be
given exactly, but is estimated to be
SIS. 065, 74S. 20. 1t was impossible to
determine the full amount at the time
of sale for the reason that the monthly
statement made by the secretary of the

month was not available today and 1t
was found necessary to estimate some
items, although it is admitted by both
sides that the estimates are approx

at Z o'clock this morning and by the
way the voters are exercising their
franchise, from reports received
throughout the state. there will be
about an average vote cast.
The campaign just closed has been
an exceptionally quiet one, the only
feature having been the aggressive can
vass of Rev. DIR. Swallow, the Prohibi-
ton candidate for state treasurer. which
has been wholly on the lines of reform
in politics with little or no reference to
the liquor question.
The state officers to be chosen are
state treasurer and auditor general. In
1895, Haywood, Republican, for state
treasurer, had a plurality of ia, 264, IN
a total vote of 769, 1876. The Prohibition

figuring for today predicts total vote
of 7eG,665 and a Republican plurality
of 1890. He comedies Swallow 49,

that the negro settlement has been

1t may here be pointed ont that thu
feeling of opposition to the president,
also termed "dictators," of the states
of the Greater Republic of Central
America Is steadily growing in bitter
ness and in this country the people are
suffering greatly under the rule of their
president, General Ielaya.
The current belief is that Zelaya and
his friends have been sending large
sums abroad in order to feather the
nests to which they may eventually
have to fly.
Since the failure of the revolution in
September the masses here have been
made TO feel the weight of the iron
heel. and their resentment has been in
tensifed by the merciless acts of Zelaya
and his favorites, l. d. Gomez and M.
@. Matusa, who. it is claimed, have
been shooting men who were accuse
of taking part in the revolution of Sc

formed courts martial composed of III,
