in the county. The great reverses Of
the last elections, when former major
titles on their tickets had been wiped
out by heavy Democratic majorities,
the position taken by their national
party in regard to the financial ques-
ton, coupled with the known senti-
ment locally on this issue, were dis
couraging features to them in the out
set. They have not been disgruntled or
disheartened, however, but have pros
ecuted a vigorous and aggressive cam
paign, and they lay claim TO q most
encouraging outlook.
The Herald was granted an interview
by Chairman w. D. Candland this
morning. He made what he averred to
be fair and conservative estimate, ac-
cording to the data at his disposal,
which, in his opinion, was approx
mately correct. If the Republican
strength was represented at the polls,
and there was no reason for thinking it
would not be, the ticket would lead
the opposition in the congressional, leg
islative and county voting by fully 300
votes. He was aware Of the Democratic
claims, but there was q surprise in
store for them. There would not be
excessive scratching, but the county
generally would give fully 800 major
ity for Republicanism.

large crowd of enthusiastic people greeted
the two able speakers
Mr.. Harris was the first to address the
meeting. He showed very plainly that
the tariff is not an issue and then entered
upon the silver question and presented 1t
IN a satisfactory manner to his audience
and was very heartily applauded through
out his eloquent and forcible speech.
Mr.. Murdoch spoke briefly reviewing
and answering the speech made by b. II.
Jones at Heber the evening before.
MEETING AT MIDWAY.
The two speakers were very well
pleased with their reception at Wallshurg
and with the enthusiasm which prevailed.
In the evening the two orators invaded
Midway, which is looked upon by the
Republicans as their stronghold, in fact.
the, Republican headquarters have been
transferred from Heber to Midway.
The streets were Illuminated with bon
fires, the meeting having been thoroughly
advertised, resulting in damned han.
The speakers were in good shape and did
yeoman work for the cause of Democracy,
and although the town has been looked
upon as being Republican it would not be
surprising if on Tuesday night. when the
returns come in. it is learned that Mid
way has cast a majority for the party
that is championing the cause of free
coinage.
Mr.. Harris will leave for Salt Lake City

The Herald presents this morning
election forecasts from the county
chairmen Of each party in IL Of the
most DoDulous counties in the state.
As to be expected, many of the counties
are claimed by both sides. but a close
perusal Of the statements reveals a
decided advantage for the Democrats.
Cache, Utah, Tooele and Sanpete seem
to be Democratic without a doubt,
while the Democrats are very confident
of success in Sewer, Willard and Sum
nit. Weber is claimed with great as
surance by each OF the three parties.
while the result win undoubtedly be
close in Beaver and Box Elder. In Car
bon the representative is conceded to
The Republicans, but as to the balance
of the ticket the result will be mixed.
1t will be noted that the Republican
chairman OF Summit confesses doubt
as to whether Eldredge win carry his
home county.

Especial to The Herald.)
Ogden, Nov 5.-Chairman Conroy of
the Democratic county committee was
asked what forecast his committee had
made in reference to the result Of the
election on Tuesday.
Our committee is entirely confident
that the whole Democratic ticket. both
legislative and county, will be elected
by handsome plUralities. and that our
candidates on the state ticket, Hon. B.
II. Roberts and Judge r. n. Baskin,
viii likewise receive very decisive
pluralities.
The Cannon or fusion forces have
become utterly demoralized. tbs fact
being evidenced by tho statement of
q candidate on the fusion county ticket
made Saturday, to the effect that he
did not believe that there would be a
single man elected on the fusion ticket
with the possible exception of one or
two members Of the legislative ticket
The Republican party hoped to gain
partial victory through the supposed
division in our party, but the division
has not been effected successfully, and
the hope of their success has entirely
vanished with this failure.
THE extravagant claims made by the
fusionists and Republicans are not
borne out by the facts, and everything
points TO a victory likened unto the VIC
tory of 1895, when the Democratic party
swept the state for Bryan and silver"
FUSION CLAIMS.
A j. Weber of the fusion COMMITTEES
said: The joint bimetallic ticket will
carry Weber county. Our legislative
ticket Will have n plurality of 1,500,
while the pluralities for the county
candidates win probably be less In
making. the above claim, I assume that
ii viii be impossible for the Democrats
and republicans to make perfect and
effective their contemplated fusion Mr..
George P McCabe, the chairman of the
silver Republican county committee,
agrees with me in the above estimate.
Roberts and Baskin viii be given a
large majority in this county"
HANsONs ESTIMATES.
George NJ. Hanson. chairman Of the
Republican committee, also claims vic
tory for his patty in Weber if every
Republican does his duty tomorrow.
Mr.. Hanson said:
Calculating that the vote cast on
election day viii be within 10 per cent
Of the total vote registered, giving in
round numbers 5000 votes to be cast.

REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.
Postmaster Thomas Upset a Republi-
can Candidate In Cache.
.SDecial Correspondence.l


Logan. Nov. 6.-The Republicans held a
rally at Paradise Friday night, and as
that is the Republican stronghold OF this
county, they had full house. which.
however, was not so enthusiastic as the
meeting the Democrats held. The speak
ers, A. A. Law T. H. Merrill and others
failed absolutely to do their party any
good because OF their Inconsistent state
ments. The meeting held by Thomas at
Hyrum. for instance. shows about what
he an0 his crowd have accomplished. AL
bert a. Law, one of the candidates for
the legislature, stated that he was for
the free unlimited and independent coin
age of silver. and that if in the event of
his election he voted for any but a silver
man for senator he hoped the people
would ride him out of the county on a
rail.
Then up rose A. L. Thomas and de-
Law killed the effect of his statement by
attempting a justification of the Repub-
lican state platform. Thomas also made
the startling statement that but for the
Democratic opposition. President McKin-
ley would have released all the white SOL
diers in our army during the recent war
and enlisted negroes in their stead. and
that the same opposition prevented the
passage of the bill introduced in the house
allowing soldiers to vote at their camps.
People were astonished by these state
ments and men from Hyrum went to
Senator RawlinS in order to ascertain the
facts. and in consequence of his plain
statement to them of the falSity of the
arguments Repuhlcanism in Hyrum has
received a hard knock.

"Tooele county is safely Democratic

am safe in claiming the election of
Roberts and BasIdn by majorities of
from 100 to 200. AS to the legislative
ticket, I feel confident of electing Mr..

King magnate, he will perhaps give us
a pretty hard race. Still, our man

Richfield, Nov. 5.-Today The Herald
correspondent interviewed both the
Sewer county chairmen regarding the
outcome of next Tuesdays vote.
County Chairman Clark of the Re
publican committee claims that on a
conservative average the Republican
ticket will win with majority of 200
John Coons, for sheriff, would receive
the largest majority, and the rest of
the ticket would maintain about the
same majority throughout. He thought
that A. n. WarenSki, for commissioner;
w. G. Boxer, for clerk, and Mrs. Laura
Boxer for recorder, were the three
weakest candidates on the ticket, but
that they would be elected by a small
majority. Mr.. Clark did not seem con-
f1dent as to the election of surveyor,
but thought Homer McCarty, the Re
publican candidate, would receive the
office, but only by a few votes.
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES.
County Chairman e. W. Mcdaniel
of the Democratic committee stated
that he thought The entire ticket would
be elected, from congressman to sur
veyor. On being asked the majority
he expected, he stated that that was
a hard thing to figure on, but if the
reports of the precinct chairmen can
be relied upon, the majorities will
range all the way from so to 800.
Mr.. Mcdaniel claims that Roberts
will be elected by fully 400 majority in
this county, and the man receiving the
next highest majority will, in his es-
timation, be H. n. Hayes, who is run
ming on that ticket for county clerk
Mr.. Mcdaniel feels confident that the
party will make G clean sweep of the
election this fall.

Princeton. N. J., Nov. 6.-The disap-
pointed but not discouraged Tigers will
begin hard work tomorrow with the
determination to down Yale. The chief
obstacle to overcome is the crippled
condition of the men. Wheeler is in
Philadelphia undergoing treatment for
a lame back. Kafer was carried off the
field at West Point unconscious. and
will not be able to do duty tomorrow.
Beardsley has not recovered from the
injury to his knee, and is practically
out of the game. The condition Of
Wheeler is more serious than that Of
any of the others. and the chances are
decidedly against his playing on Satur-
day. From the way things look now,
Hutchinson and Ayers will probably
play at quarter and fullback respect
lively; Black will play one halfback and
Beardsley the other. if he RECEIVERS from
his injuries in time. Tomorrow the
team will be put on long practice, the
halves being extended to the limit.
