ing Mkt We k.

George knight and Charles Heggerty
both reiterated yesterday that the arrest
of ex-Notary James. J. Cooney was but
the first move in series of criminal prose
cutions growing out of the suits brought
to the Fair estate.
"I cannot say just when, but all the
parties 10 this conspiracy will be arrested
in due time-we don't propose to allow
one OF them to escape" said George
Knight with regard to James j.
Cooney, we feel rather sorry for him than
otherwise. We believe he has been the
tool of others. We have absolute proof of
his guilt and, OF course, the guilt of the
others.
I'VE may or may not have the COM
plants sworn to, and the prosecutions be-
gun before the trial OF the ejectment suit
comes on, but in any case the prosecC-
tions will be made.
District Attorney Barnes made state
ment OF similar import. He said he had
no hesitation in declaring it IS his opin-
Ion that the pencil deeds were part OF
gigantic conspiracy, and that unless he
had reason to change his opinion all the
parties suspected would be arrested. He
said he did not believe in moving too fast,
however, in such a serious matter.
II shall try out the truth OF the theory
we are working upon in the preliminary
hearing OF Cooney next week, he said.
'If my conclusions he correct Cooney will
be shown to be merely misguided tool in
the hands of bold cum pirators. We in
tend to exhaust every resource to bring
the principals to justice.
ut will be my duty to prefer additional
charges against Cooney, but l snail do so
only as q matter of form, and | shall ask
the court to allow him to go under these
upon his own recognizance. The case
against Cooney," continued the District
Attorney, seems TO be impregnable, but
until it is heard and Cooneys given a
chance to explain all the circumstances
that indicate his guilt. / do not desire to
cause any more arrests"

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
ELECTION FORECASTS.
washington Post.)

The Kansas City Star, through its
Washington correspondent, Mr.. Albert
Miller, has been conducting a careful
examination of the political field, and
will to-day print its forecast Of Tues
days elections. Correspondent Miller is
a most careful newsgatherer, and his
prophecies last year were verified with
out exception. His work is free from po-
litical bias and is, therefore, valuable.
Elections will be held on Tuesday in
Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Virginia. The legislative
elections in Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia
only are of national significance, for the
legislatures chosen in those States viii
choose United States Senators to sue
coed Senators German, Hanna, and
Daniel. OF the more important cleo
tons, Mr.. Miller reaches these conclu-
sions:
THAT the free silver Democracy will
be victorious in Kentucky.
THAT German will probably be chosen
in Maryland to succeed himself, and
that Democrat will be elected Mayor
of Baltimore.
receive q great majority in Massa-
chusetts.
'That the silver fusionists will carry
Nebraska by a larger plurality than
Bryan received last year.
'That Seth Low will be elected the
first Mayor of Greater New York and
that the Plat majority of seventy-fve
in the Assembly will be extinguished, to-
gether with McKinley's plurality of
26S, 469.
"That in Ohio Bushnell may be re-
elected Governor by a reduced plurality,
but that an anti-Hanna legislature will
be chosen.
"That the Republicans will carry
Pennsylvania by any majority they wish
to record, and
"That the silver Democrats will de-
feat the divided Virginia Republicans
and reflect Daniel to the Senate"

HENRY GEORGES RELIGION.

II is pleasant to know that Henry
George was a Christian. and in all his
changes of fortune never lost faith in
God. Yesterdays Baltimore Sun con-
tanned the following as throwing light
upon Mr.. Georges belief:
"Mr. John w. Jones, Of Baltimore,
the first secretary of the Single-Tax
League Of Maryland, recalled yesterday
the following incidents connected with
Henry George:
"'On the election night Of 1886 Mr..
George and some Of his friends were re-
ce:ving the returns that showed the
great single taxer to be defeated for the
Mayoralty Of New York. Mr.. Louis f..
Post, who ran on the same ticket and
had national reputation as an agnost-
ic, was there He knew that Mr. George
was reverential believer in God and
throughout his life contended that God
wills it, Mr. Post turned and asked the
question, Mr.. George, do you see the
hand Of God in thisY NO. was the re-
ply. 4 do not see it, but it is there
LAT the great welcome given to MIR.
George at Cooper Union, New York, up
on his return from his Australian tour,
the first national conference Of single
takers was held. Some one in the audi
ence cried Long live Henry George!
Mr.. George then spoke as follows: i
have thought it is not always best to
live. If ! could but die our movement
would receive greater impetus. Truth
advances with greater rapidity after the
death OF the one who gives it utter
ance.'
81 cannot help but believe, said Mr..
Jones, that this thought Of death was
ever present in Mr.. Georges mind and
was behind the statement that he would
carry on his last campaign if he had to
die for it. ,"

THE BATTLE CT BALLOTS.

Elections will be held to-day In VF-
ginia, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kentucky, Colorado, Massa-
chusetts, Delaware and New Jersey.
Interest centres now Us in every cam
paign since Washington's term In the
result in New York. The Maryland.
Kentucky and Ohio elections excite most
interest after that Of the Empire State.
In the other States the result Ii either
already known or the Offices to be filled
will have little political bearing.
Tomorrow will tell the news. Predic-
tions are unsafe. 1t looks like the Demo
Gratis will make great gains everywhere
and Mark Hanna's purchase Of the
Presidency will not be approved.

GAN HANNA BUY 0HI02

Until Bryan began his wonderful cam
paign in Ohio, no Democrat could be
found who was sanguine enough to pre-
dict Democratic success, and no Repub-
lican could be seen who was willing to
admit that there was any doubt as to the
result.
Within one short week all OF that is
changed. The Democratic hosts are ag-
gressive, earnest, determined and hope
full. Many are confident that they will
carry the Legislature and defeat Mark
Hanna. The Republicans are badly
frightened. Their confidence has given
way to doubt, and to desperation. To
show the means to which they resort, we
give below the kind Of letter which Mark
Hanna is employing thirty men daily to
write to pensioners:
Dear Sir: You are now getting
pension Of So month. Mr.. Hanna
has interested himself in your case,
and believes that you should have
at least $40 a month. II he is elect
ed he will make it personal matter
to see the Commissioner of Pensions,
or introduce bill in Congress to Sc
cure you this increase"
Yesterdays Washington Post predicts
the election Of the Republican State tick
ct by substantial majority, and "the
Legislature is too close for comfort for
either-party. If the Republicans carry
the Legislature by small majority
in the Presidents own State, it would
be almost defeat. II they should lose
II. II would be complete rout that
would leave Mckinley not place to
stand upon.
The defeat Of Hanna would be more
than party victory. 1t would show
that even in purchaseable Ohio there Is
enough rock bottom Of character to re-
pudiate the vulgar and base corruption
list. In the whole history Of the Republic
no man of such low public morals has
been chosen to the United States Senate.
He has no God but Money, and he be-
lieves that every man can be bribed in one
way or another. If Ohio to-day should
resent this insult to the manhood Of the
Republic, it would do more toward clear
ing the political atmosphere OF gold
malaria than any event that could posi-
bly, happen. 1t would show that while
you may buy part Of the people par
of the time, you cannot buy majority
OF the people all the time.
Will Hanna's money be able to de
bauch the voters Of Ohio to-day?
The returns will tell.

DOG, EAT DOG"

The story runncth thus: Judge Ewart
a ccanted a pass over the Southern RAN
wav. and the Southern Railway was ae-
cordingly summoned to appear pe1ore
Justice OF the Peace Beaver.
Judge Ewart spunkily in his last
charge to the grand jury animadver'ed
ON Justice Beaver, and Justice Deaver
later summoned Judge Ewart to appear
and show cause why he should not De
held in contempt for having failed 10
put in appearance before his JUSTICE
shin and for speaking contemptuously OF
his high and mighty court. In the
meantime, some time ago. II
appears that Justice Deaver was In
dicted on a charge Of embezzlement IN
Judge Ewart's court, and later Beaver,
it appears, was found guilty.
The bill touching Ewart's pass was
found mot true" and there the case
stands.
Judge Ewart says there is nothing IN
the law forb:dding the Southern Rail-
way from giving him a pass. He failed
to state, however, whether or not in his
opinion there was anything in the moral
law forbidding his taking such pass.
II Judge Ewart does not know why
such a pass was given, we might as
well tell him that 1t was an attempt to
influence his decision in any case in
yolving the Southern Railway which
might come up before him. That Is the
English Of it. We hoped that Judge
Ewart would not yield to the pressure,
and would not make such a specific
charge. But we will say to him that it
is a grave error against good taste II not
so grave as the acceptance by Judge
Simonton of a seat in Col. Andrews
private car. The good people of this
State will not fail, fearlessly, to express
their opinions against such action in
officers set up by their votes, directly or
indirectly.
As to Deaver, if he has been guilty
'of embezzlement, evidently he was try
ing to reform when he went after Judge
Ewart for this crime against decency at
least. wz
We care little about the outcome OF
the disgraceful brawl, knowing that no
matter what may be the final issue,
scandal will be the upshot Of it all.
A miserable mess, to be sure, is all
this stencil from Republicans, no matter
how related.

Democratic Chairman Garman says
there will be total vote Of 925, 900, and
that the Democratic candidate will have
plurality of $4,000. He gives Swal-
low 10000 votes.
Chairman Jones, of the Prohibition
party, claims that Swallow will have a
majority in twenty and probably in
thirty-seven Of the sixty-seven counties
and that he will receive at least $4,000
in Philadelphia alone. He gives no esti-
mate of Swallows vote in the State.
TOO MANY CANDIDATES.
Denver, Col, Nov. There are but
three candidates for judge OF the Su-
preme court, the only State office to be
filed at the election tomorrow.The ballot
to be voted in this city contains twenty
five different tickets bearing the names
Of nominees for county Offices. Parties
with no standing without formality of
convention forced their emblems upon
the ballot for but one purpose-to con-
fuse the voters. Many voters Disguised
with the State officers declare they will
remain away from the polls. The con-
test between Charles T. Hay (Repub-
lican) and VIM. FL. Gabbott Democrat

court appears to be very close. Even

NATIONAL ISSUE HERE.
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. There has
been no change in the political situa-
ton here during the last 4S hours. The
headquarters of both parties were practi-
cally closed to-day.
A large number Of speeches were made
tonight in various parts Of the State.
The Republicans say they can lose 3d.
900 votes compared with last years
count, 5000 only as the Democrats
loss and they will have the forty thou
sand plurality claimed by their chair
man. Chairman Walsh is claiming that
his party will lose no votes but will gain
some from the gold Democrats. He says
the Republican last year polled 10000
votes in excess Of their normal vote was
100000 at high water mark until last
year. He thinks these 10000 votes were
largely gold Democrats and that they
will this year mostly vote for the party
ticket.
Messrs. Shaw and White the two
standard bearers closed their campaign
ers tonight insisting that free silver
and the gold standard were important
issues in Iowa.
