shipments from the West, potatoes dropped
to So and 80 cents with no prospects of any
very substantial advance, and - now the
farmers who held their crops are mourning.

In the Tenth district, the contest be-
tween Samuel ]. Barrows, the present Re

publican Banner-Henyy- Vote
md Maiorities Assured

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-Republican
State Chairman Elkin has prepared an
estimate by counties, giving his views of
the result of next Tuesdays vote for gov
ernor. He claims that the Republican cam
didate. William A. Stone, will be elected
by a plurality of 131,0O0 over George A.
jerks, Democrat. To Rev. DR.. Silas C.
Swallow, the honest government" can
didate, he allows a total of 1i9,I60 votes,
claiming that Swallow, who carried ten
counties in the contest for state treasurer
last year. will not have a plurality in
any county. -.-=--~--a--=.
Mr. Elkin comedies that jerks will carry
twenty of the siXty-seven counties, and ac-
krowledgeS Il standoff in three others. He
claims that the next legislature Will be
largely Republican in both branches, and
predicts the failure of the fusion move
ment.
Mr.. Elkin compiled his figures from es-
Inmates given him by the chairmen of the
various county committees, and members
of the state committee in their respective
counties. He believes that in Philadelphia
county Stone will receive =. lhl0C0 10 votes,
against ia 1900 for Jenks and oG for swa a
against 1900 and 5000 for the other two
candidates, respectively. Mr.. Elkin says
that the business men and laboring men
of the state hesitate to cast a ballot that

Continuing, he says: IF the great states
of New. York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania should elect Democratic governors
this year, the result would certainly De
followed by the election of a Democratic
president in 19o0'
On the congressional contests, the state
chairman says:
While we do not expect that the next
delegation to congress will contain as few
Democratic members as the present one
yet we believe a good showing will he

State Chairman Garman said: Il estimate
that 100000 votes will be cast, divided
about as follows: jerks. 10000; Stone. 395,-
