The Democratic State Committees
Address to Voters.

New Haven, Nov. 5-The Democratic
State committee issues today an address
to the voters of the State asserting that
the Democratic party is united, charging
that, in fear of that union, the Republic
cans are trying to revive old Democratic
dissensions. and saying that one Republic
can claim made with a great deal of
gusto is that the Democratic State COM
mittee has less than 5000 for campaign
purposes The address continues:
I'VE admit the truth of this claim The
Democratic party has had less than 5000
with which to meet its expenses, and We
do not deny the truth of the claim that
the Republican party have all the money
they wish to use. We are willing that
the people of the State snail know this,
and will drop the subject with simply
asking the questions: Where did they get
it? Why did they get it? How did they
get it? and Who will get it on election
day?
while making no claim for your suf-
frages on the ground of an exuberant
treasury, we still feel that we have the
right to the support of faithful and
honest citizens on the following issues.
which are indorsed by the party and its
candidates:

Success In Claimed to BE Assured by
Both Sides.
Chicago. Nov. 5.-Generally speaking,
the political battle Of 1898 closes here
tonight. 1t has been a comparatively
short campaign, though the Democrats
and Republicans have prosecuted the
fight with extraordinary viSor. Both
sides agree that about $4,000 votes will
be cast next Tuesday. but she widest
difference marks the estimates of the
rival managers as 20 how the vote will
be divided. The Republicans claim that
they will carry Illinois outside of Cook
County, by $4,000 majority, and :he local
leaders profess the utmost confidence that
Cook will go Republican from I5.91 to

seem to be as sanguine of success as
they were two years ago.
