CLAIMS IN COLORADO.
Silver Fusionists Place Their Ma
iority al 10000.

jority al $4,000.
Denver, Colo, Nov. 5.-The speaking
campaign in Colorado closed tonight
with a great fusion meeting in this
city, at which United States Senator
Teller and Charles S. Thomas, fusion
candidate for governor were the prin-
cipal speakers. United States Senator
Wolcott, accompanied by his brother,
Henry r. Wolcott, Republican candi-
date for governor, has stumped the
entire state; being everywhere greeted
by large audiences.
The question of the free coinage Of
silver has been the principal issue.
Senator Wolcott has contended that the
Republican party is friendly to silver
and will restore free coinage through
international agreement, new ratio
possibly being necessary. Ex-Governor
Waite, the former PoDulist leader, has
been supporting the Republican ticket.
There are practically only four state
tickets, although ten parties are named
on the official ballot. Thomas is the
gubernatorial candidate of the Demo-
cratic, Peoples, Teller silver Repub-
lican, National Peoples and Liberty
Union parties. Henry R. Wolcott heads
the Republican, silver Republican and
Western Republican tickets. The Pro-
hibition and Socialist Labor parties
have Independent state tickets, headed
respectively by Robert H. Rhodes and
Nixon Elliott.
A b Seaman, Republican state
chairman, predicts Wolcott's election
by 5000 majority. The fusion chair
men say their state ticket will have
$4,000 to $4,000 majority Congressman
Shafroth, silver Republican, and Bell,
Populist, it is generally believed, will
be reelected. The fusionists will carry
the legislature. but the Republicans
hope to elect majority of the Is hold
over senators, who will vote in the cleo
ton Of Senator Wolcott's successor in
1901

ROCK SPRINGS DEMocRAr1c.
Entire Ticket Will Be Elected In
Sweetwater County.
(Speclal to THE Herald !


Rock Springs, Wyo., Nov. 5-For the
first time in many years the Democrats
of Sweetwater county await election
day with absolute confidence that the
party viii win a glorious victory in
this county. With the elimination of
those who are unable to read the con-
stitution of the state. there was no
question but what this county is and
always has been Democratic In this
county the constitutional provision re-
quiring ability of voters to read as in
terpreted by the supreme court was
strictly followed by the registration Of
ficers, notwithstanding the Republican
committee had secured an adverse
opinion from the attorney general In
the town of Rock Springs the regiStra-
ton fell off over 100, and it is esti-
mated that the Republicans have lost
over 12S of that number
Had the Republicans of this county
been united, it is safe to say the county
would have been carried by the Demo-
Gratis, but with the Independent Repub-
ican ticket in the field for the avowed
purpose of defeating the regular Re-
publican ticket, the victory has been
made more certain. The Democratic
candidates are standing shoulder to
shoulder, and under the able leader
ship of County Chairman Hon. D. A
Preston, are making a fight for the
whole ticket from governor down to
constable, while the regular Republican
nominees are knitting each other at
every available opportunity The nom
inees of the Independent Republican
ticket, although in most instances bet
ter qualified than the regular Repub-
lican nominees, viii fail to secure many
votes. on account Of the COMPLICATED

G. O. P. eERRYMANDER.
Will Probably Give Wisconsin to
Mark Hanna.

Milwaukee, Nov. 5.-There are six
tickets in the field in Wisconsin. The
chairmen of the Democratic and Re
publican state central committees
claim to be sure of victory, the latter
by from 10000 to $4,000 plurality In
this election the Democrats, to win,
must overcome a plurality of nearly
1000 votes of two years ago.
OF the ten congressman to be chosen,
the chances greatly favor the Repub-
licans, as the election will be held I'M
der the apportionment of districts as
mapped out by the Republicans under
the last gerrymander. The Republicans
ought to elect seven out of the ten, and
may get one or two more, if not a full
delegation.
The legislature will, without doubt,
under the same conditions, be in con-
troll of the Republicans. There are 1e
hold-over Republican senators out of
a total in the upper house of 33, and
the Republicans should retain 60 out
of 100 members to the assembly. This
will result in Wisconsin sending a Re-
publican United States senator to the
national congress, whose term expires
on March next.

DEMOCRATS OWN MONTANA.
Will Elect All Their Candidates
Without a Doubt.

Helena, Mont, Nov. 5.-McKinley re-
ceived a fraction over one-ffth, of the
votes of Montana two years ago. At
the election next Tuesday the Republic
can vote will be much larger, but there
is no reason to believe the Republican
state ticket viii come near being elect
ed. The Democrats, administration
Republicans and Populists and silver
Republicans combined have state tick
cts in the field. The Democrats will
doubtless elect all their candidates. For
congressman the Populist and silver
Republican candidate, Secretary of
State Hogan, will run ahead of other
candidates on his ticket on account of
some disaffection because of opposition
to the eight-hour law by Campbell, the
Democratic nominee, and support by
Marshall, the Republican nominee, of
a law making it a crime for any one
personally or representing a union to
urge or persuade striker to remain
out or any one else from taking a
strikers place. Hogan's increased vote
will be to Marshall's. advantage, but it
is not believed either one will come
near election. The legislature is bound
to be anti-Republican, and the major
ity will be made up of Democrats, Pop
ulistS and silver Republicans.

A KANSAS ESTIMATE.
Gives Republicans Four Congressman
and Populists Three.

Topeka. Kan, Nov. "a campaign
remarkable for the earnest work of the
leaders and the apathy of the voters,
particularly in the country districts, is
drawing TO a close in this state There
are four tickets in the field, viz: The
Populists, led by Governor Leedy; Re
publicans, by w. E. Stanley; Prohi-
bitionists, by ex-senator PETER, and
Socialist Labor ticket, by Caleb Lips
comb.
During the campaign the Populists
have made a strong feature of the rec
ord of their state officers. The Repub-
licans, while answering this, have fea-
tured the record of Mckinley and es-
pecially his war policy. Both sides are
making confident claims of victory AS
the plurality for Leedy was but slightly
above 1000, 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 conservative estimate OF the win
ners in the congressional fight would
perhaps be as follows:
Republicans-Cur in the First:
Bowersock, Second; Miller, Fourth:
Bailey, at large.
Populist-Ridgley, Third; Vincent
Fifth; Simpson, Seventh; leaving the
Sixth in doubt.

IN NEW YORK.
Republicans Must Come to the City
With $4,000 to Elect Teddy.


New York, Nov. 5-There are five
state tickets in New York, as follows:
Republican, Democratic, Citizens
Union, Socialist Labor and Prohibi-
ton. The Citizens Union vote is an
altogether unknown quantity; that of
the Socialist Labor party may approx
innate 10000, while the Prohibition vote
has not often been much in excess of
10000 The potency Of New York City
Cor Greater New York; as a factor is
shown by the fact that it casts nearly
as many ballots as all the rest of the
state, but there are greater variations
in the party tides in the city than up
the state
For e.lam ple, IN 1896, Black CRepub-
lican), Tor governor, had a plurality of
S0.031 over Democrats of both the free
silver and gold standard wings, while
in 1897 the Democratic judicial nom
inee had a plurality of 1854. There
has been this year a local diversion,
which may exert a marked influence on
the vote of Greater New York This
consists in the allegation that Richard
Croker has sought to make the judi
ciary dependent upon his personal will
and pleasure.
Democrats confidently expect to gain
three or more congressman in districts
below the Harlem river, and possibly
as many in up-the-state districts. The
Republicans do not feel sanguine of
maintaining the preponderance of IS as
against six Democrats in the New
York delegation.
The executive committee of Tam
many received reports tonight from all
the district leaders. The figures given
out are that Tammany expects to carry
New York county by 10000 plurality,
and that the figures from the other bor-
ough leaders led the committee to
make the claim that the Republicans
must come to the city with a plurality
of $4,000 if they expect to elect Colonel
Roosevelt.

Associated Press Agent Predicts a
Clean Sweep.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 1.-The cam
paign in Wyoming practically closed
tonight with good prospect for a
heavy vote on Tuesday. There are
three state and congressional tickets in
the field, the offices to be filed being
governor, secretary of state. auditor,
treasurer superintendent of public in
struction and justice of the supreme
court.
Three parties-Republican Peoples
and fusion of the Democrats and sill
yer Republicans-have candidates for
congress as follows: Republican, Frank
w. Mondell; Fusion, Constantine P.
Arnold; Peoples, William Brown.
The Republicans have supported the
administration in the conduct and con-
clusion of the war with Spain and the
gold standard. The fusion issue was
the free coinage of silver and criticism
of the conduct of the war. Indications
point to the election of Mondell to con-
gress and the entire state and legisla-
tive tickets by moderate majorities

INDIANA CAMPAIGN.
Democrats Declared For Silver and
Claim a Victory.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 5.-The po-
litical campaign was practically closed
tonight by both parties. The chair
men have issued statements, claiming
victory for their respective parties, a
majority of the IL congressman and a
majority of the legislature that will
elect a United States senator in Janu-
airy to succeed the present incumbent,
Turpie. Both chairmen are earnest
and enthusiastic in their claims
There are five state tickets printed
on the ballots: Democratic, Repub-
hcan, Populist, Prohibition and Social
list. The Democrats and Republicans
have nominated candidates for congress
in all OF the IS districts The Populists
in all but the Seventh, Tenth and Thir-
teenth districts, the Prohibitionists in
all but the First, Second, Third and
Tenth districts. The Democrats declare
for free silver and the Chicago plat
form in their state platform, and in the
platforms of the 13 congressional dis
tricts. The Republicans declared for
the gold standard and reaffirmed the
st. Louis platform.
The Republicans appealed to voters
to sustain the administration on the
war and other issues and did not make
the financial question quite so promf-
nent as the Democrats did.

18th hour, looking to a fusion of
Populists and Republicans in the Ninth
district, it is believed Georgia will re-
turn to congress solid Democratic
delegation. The Democrats have cog
nizance of the move in the Ninth, and
tonight sent word to the party mem
bers in that district to turn out and re-
elect Tate, Democrat. No fear of de-
feat is expected, as the warning will
reach the Ninth this morning. The
contest between Brantly, Democrat,
and Wilkinson, Republican, in the
Eleventh, has been particularly spirit
ed, but Brantly's election is believed to
be a certainty. A light vote is ex-
pected

there are straight party tickets only.
For this reason the Republicans will
likely elect both congressman.
The only national issue agitated here
was on sustaining the national admin
istration with Republican majority
IN congress. Neither side discussed the
tariff, currency or other questions.
There are five state tickets-Repub-
lican, Democratic, Prohibition, Social
ist and Reform. All have full tickets
here and in other cities, but in some
counties the Socialists and Reformers
are not recognized. While the Repub-
licans viii likely carry the state, the
Democrats claim the Republicans can
not gain any congressman On the last

One Contest In Mississinni.

vicksburg, Miss, Nov. AT the
close Of the campaign there is no real
contest in this state except in the Sixth
district. Here there is a peculiar Sit
uation growing out of the death OF
Congressman Love, who had no oppo-
sition. The time was too short before
the election to permit party nominal
ton and this had the effect of produc-
ing two Democratic candidates-F. A
McLain and NJ NJ Evans. a Populist,
N. c. Hathorn, and Republican, II.
c. Turley. 1t is commonly thought that
the former will be elected.

No Contest In North Carolina.

Charleston, S. c.. Nov. 5.-Interest
over the election is lacking. There is
no contest for state officers against the
nominees of the recent Democratic pri-
mary. The only feature Of the election
is the preparations of the Republicans
to make contests before the next house
for seats of congressional representa-
tives.s They have candidates in all dis
tricts, and have arranged a careful
watching system, in hope of securing
evidence of fraud on the part of the
Democrats on which to base a contest.

gress is in this, the First district.

KENTUCKY DEMocRATrc.
Silver Men Expect to Make Congress
sional Gains.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 5.-The eve of
election next Tuesday for representa-
tives in congress finds the Democrats
enthusiastic. They claim that the
Kentucky congressional delegation will
have an increased Democratic major
ity. The delegation now stands seven
Democrats and four Republicans. The
Democrats figure that only in the
Eleventh district are the Republicans
certain of electing their candidate, Vim
cent Boreing, while in the Fifth, Eighth
and Ninth, where the Republicans now
have the representatives, the Demo-
Gratis concede their opponents no more
than a fair chance to win. On the other
hand the Republicans are confident of
returning Walter Evans from the Fifth
or Louisville district, where the Demo-
Gratis are not working entirely in har-
mony. They also claim that Pugh, in
the Ninth, will certainly be returned,
and maintain that Davidson, in the
Eighth, has strong fighting chance.

MIXJP IN NEVADA.
Anti-stewart Men Claim Legisla-
tive Majority.

Reno, New, Nov. 5-The campaign
in Nevada practically closed tonight
with speeches, bonfires and candidates
dances in almost every town in the
state. A reliable forecast is extremely
difficult. The best information obtain
able indicates the election of the silver
ticket, with possibly three exceptions,
governor, superintendent of public in
struction and state controller), down
to the county ticket, where the silverites
and Democrats are fused, but where it
is expected the voting will be more
for the man than for the party. Sena-
tor Stewart has made desperate can
vass of the state and looks a winner,
but the anti-Stewart people claim
safe majority in the legislature this
winter. There has been much talk of
defeating Newlands for congress, but
it seems utterly unfounded. Sadler will
run behind his ticket, but may be elect
ed by the vote being divided, each of
his three opponents drawing a strong
support.
