last ones Of poor quality. From private
and State sources the regiments were
supplied with hospital tents.

among the surgeons reduced the working

KERR'S FORECAST
OF THE ELECTION.
The Next House viii Undoubtedly
Be Democratic-- Folly to Expec
Republican Success.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A-special-oec-
retary Kerr. OF the Democratic Commit
tee, tonight gave out the following tore-
cast of the election on Tuesday next
The Republicans have 10 members IN the
present House OF Representatives. Three
of these they acquired by use OF the ma
chinery OF the Election Committee.
Therefore, based on the returns OF the
elections of 1896, the House of Represen-
tatiyes would stand 2o3 Republicans, l27
Democrats. twenty-three POpuliSts, and
four Silver Fusionists. The total opposl-
ton to the Republican party In the Fifty-
NTH Congress being l6i, giving Republi-
can majority OF forty-nine over all, or
twenty-five changes necessary 10 carry
the Republicans 10 the minority side,
provided the Democrats should hold all
the districts they now have.
DEMOCRATIC CHANCES.
What are the chances OF Democratic
success at this time? According to the
advices received by this committee, from
sources which are very reliable. there are
only l23 districts conceded To the Republi-
cans as certain. Forty-eight others are
In the doubtful column, five OF which are
held by the opposition in the Fifty-tfth
Congress, leaving f0rty-three Republican
districts in which there Is a close and
hopeful contest in favor Of Democracy,
leaving lS6 districts IN whleh the opposl-
tion 10 the Republican party are posi-
lively certain to carry. and local Repuo-
lican committees have admitted as lost.
SO at this hour the Republicans must
concede they have no possible chance TO
control the House.
CONGRESS SAFE.
This committee believes the nextNCon-
gress will be Democratic Some OF the
reasons for this are that thirty-two dis
tricts are held by Republicans on so mar
row a margin. as an average or only S4
plurality, and when IL Is taken into con-
sideration that there Is an average OF
Pa postofiices in these Congressional dis
tricts. most Of them being rural, and
there were at least four applicants for
every postofiice. i62 Republicans In each
of these districts were disappointed by

Senator Tllman began by an arraign-
ment OF Grover Cleveland. and after re-
viewing the conditions in North Carolina,

shake hands and get together. as no man

 The Liberal adds; Such rumors are dangerous, as they lead to popular dis content The truth is a conflict is eer- tain.
