in the Pennsylvania Election.

There May Be Some Rare Surprises
in the PennsyIvanfa Election.
Z PHILADELPHIA, Nov. B.-Mass meetings
all over the state tonight closed the most
heated political campaign that Pennsylvania
mas experienced in many years. There are
four full tickets in the field. The candidates
Tor governor are William A. Stone Repub-
ncan; George A. jerks, Democrat; Silas Q.
Swallow, Prohibitionist, Peoples Liberty and
honest Government, and J. M Barnes So
clalisuc-L Labor. The followers of Stone, jerks
ana Swallow are claiming with considerable
oegree OF confidence that their favorites will
be elected, and there is every indication that
each of these three candidates will receive a
heavy vote. Swallow has received the formal
fnGorsement of the Prohibition, Peoples Lib
erty and Honest Government parties A num-
Der of Republicans and Democrats also pub-
l1cly declared their intention of voting for
swallow, as an evidence of their dissatsfac-
tlon with party leaders.
During the last few weeks, jerks, the Dem
ocratic candidate, has received great encour-
asement through the return to the fold of
prominent Democrats who had not been in
accord with the party since the Chicago con-
Ventlon- Notwithstanding the claims made by
the swallow and jerks leaders, the Repub.
lican party managers claim that the alleged
dlsaffection in the party will have no other
erect eE e. than to slightly reduce the party vote
for Stone, and State Chairman Elkins tonight
claims that the Republican candidate will
have at least 1000 plurality.
The total vote in the state will approximate

will elect a United States senator to succeed
Senator Quay. A faction of the Republican
party has centered their opposition to the
leadership Of Senator Quay, and in some of
the legislative districts fusion with the DEM

opposed to the senator's reelection.

Hanl1inson B. F. Spalding, Republi-

a hornets nest on the same subject.
There were a haf-dozen or more vol

be Democrats, home on a furlough.
Mr.. Spalding's first sentence was: "If
you don't vote to sustain the president
you vote in favor of the Spanish" A
member of Grigsby's cavalry got up
and denounced the speakers remark as
false. Mr.. Spalding said no gentleman
would interrupt public speaker in
that way, which brought out another

statement was not true, and asked Mr..

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 5.-The campaign in
Kansas has been remarkable for the earnest
work Of the leaders and apathy of the voters,
particularly in the country districts. There
are four tickets in the field the Populist

w e. Stanley; Prohibitionist, by ex-senator

comb. The Populists have made a strons
feature of the record Of their state officers:
the Republicans while answering this, have
featured the record of President Mckinley. As
the plurality for Leedy was but slightly
above Z 70GO. the margin for speculation on
the result is very slight All but one Of the
eight congressional districts are claimed by
both the Republicans and Populists. A con-
servative estimate OF the winners in the con,
gressionel fight would perhaps be as follows;

pie of Minnesota.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Nov. 5.-(Spe-
ciaL)-The congressional campaign was
brought to a close here with the
Towne mass meeting, which was the
largest and best attended ever held in
Stearns county. The meeting was held
in the Davidson opera house, which
was filled to its utmost capacity.
Towne was introduced by DR.. J. Du-
Bois, of Sauk Center, who said that
he was proud to introduce a man who,
even after defeat, still stood by his
principles and only settled into the
harness with greater persistence.
Mr.. Towne delivered one of the best
campaign speeches of his life, and left
the meeting with the assurance that
his straightforward utterances had
won him many votes. He eulogized
John Lind as a man in whom the peo-
pie might have full confidence; a man
who would use his utmost influence to
carry out needed reforms. He attack
ed Morris in a very spirited manner
for claiming, according to the reports
of the st. Cloud Journal-Press and Lit
tie Falls Transcript, to have secured
the appropriation for the work on the
Duluth-Superior harbor. He presented
list of questions, some of which have
been put TO Norris before with the
request that if he wished to substan-
tiate utterances made during the cam
paign, he answer them here in his
speech this evening
Mr.. Towne declared himself unalter-
ably opposed to the McCleary bill, on
the ground that it would place the
money market in the hands of a trust
and be the ruin of all small banks. He
also declared himself opposed to CO.
lonial empire, buta dvocated the re-
tention at least Of a coaling station
Oh the Philippines. He advocated the
upbuilding of the American merchant
marine and pledged himself to do all
in his power to effect this end if elect
ed to congress.
The speech was frequently interrupt
ed by bursts of enthusiastic applause,
and after returning to the Grand Cen
trail Mr. Towne was besieged with a
crowd of enthusiastic Democrats anx-
ious to congratulate him.
