Fusion Fight in a Texas District.

DALLAS, Tex. Nov. 5-The close of the
campaign in Texas is without interest.
There is a certainty Of eleven Democrats in
Congress out of total of thirteen, the two
doubtful districts being the Tenth and
Twelfth. In the Tenth Congressman Haw-
ley. Republican, claims the election, but the
whole force of the state organization has
been thrown against him and the fight has
been fast and furious. National and local
issues both figure largely in the canvass.
The betting is slightly in favor of Hawley.
In the Twelfth Congressman Slayden,
Dem, who voted for the Dingley protective
tariff bill, is opposed by ex-Congressman
George III. Noonan, and they have can
vassed the district for several weeks This
fight has been so oVershadowed by the
fierce contest in Hawley's district that little
attention has been paid to the result. Both
sides claim the result by a gOod-sized ma
jortty. In all the other districts it is con-
ceded that the Democrats will elect their
candidates without any trouble.

WILL CHANGE CAMPS.
Troops Will Not Go from Present
Quarters Direct to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The order which
designates the troops to occupy different
portions of Cuba has raised a question as
to whether or not it is the intention of the
War Department to have the troops go
direct from their present camps to Cuba
instead of occupying a Southern winter
camp selected some time ago. 1t can be
stated that such is not the intention, and
that the troops will be moved from Knox
Vile and Lexington and Middletown TO
these camps very soon. 1t is velieved that
the transfer will be very beneficial to the
troops, and that not only will they find a
more salubrious climate, but that the duty
other will be better for them than remain
ing in one place. 1t will be nearly two
months before all the troops designated for
Cuba are sent to the island, so there will be
quite long time for them to remain III the
Georgia and South Carolina camps.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 5.-Speaking at
Republican meeting in this city, Gov
Wells, referring to the candidacy of B. ii.
Roberts for Congress on the Democratic
ticket, said "A>man who does not deny
that he is living in violation of the laws of
the State has accepted a nomination for
office. Publicity has been given to his do
nestle relations and all the facts will be
known to Congress when he presents his
credentials to the House. The agitation of
the question will be a great detriment to
the State of Utah and to the best interest
Of the people. For myself, | prefer that

BALTIMORE, Nov. 5-Both Republicans
and Democrats are claiming five of the six
members of the Maryland delegation to Con-
gress. Senator Wellington. chairman of the
Republican state central committee, claims
that the Republican candidates in the Sec
ond, Third Fourth, Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts will surely be elected while Jackson,
in the FIRST, has good running chance.
On the other hand, Murray Van Diver,
chairman of the Democratic state commit
tee, asserts that Smith, Tippett, Schwatka,
Denny and Cummings, candidates in the
first five districts. are already elected, and
nothing remains but to count the ballots
In the Sixth district, Pof1nberger, it is
averred, will surely be heard from in the
finish. A conservative estimate gives the
Democrats the First and Fifth districts,
with possibility in the Third.

IN MINNESOTA.
Democratic Chairman ROsing Making
Bold Predictions.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 5.-The campaign
in Minnesota has been fairly quiet, and the
vote will be greatly reduced from two years
ago. This is due partly to the constitutional
amendment adopted two years ago resulting
in the disfranchisement of many foreign
born residents, second naturalization papers
and longer residence in the State being now
required. The Republicans have made a
general campaign on both national and
state issues, while the Democrats have held
closely to state issues, by that means bring
ing together those who were working apart
two years ago. Besides the full state ticket
and congressman, the Legislature to be
chosen will select a successor to United
States Senator Cushman X. Davis, and the
senator's will also participate in the election
of a successor to United States Senator
Knute Nelson.
Judge j. d. Steele, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, predicts the cleo
ton of the entire Republican ticket, con-
gressional delegation and a safe majority
in the Legislature. i. A. Rosing, chairman
of the Democratic state committee, feels
sure of the election of John Lind fusion
candidate for Governor by a majority of
10000, also part of the rest of the state
ticket, the Supreme Court judges and three
of the seven congressman, but comedies that
the Republicans will control the Legislature
by reduced majority.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 5.-The Democrats
closed their campaign to-day with large
rallies in nearly every county. There is
great enthusiasm and universal belief
among Democrats that their judicial ticket
and a majority Of both houses of the State
Legislature will be elected The Repub-
licans are inclined to concede the lower
house, but claim that they will elect their
judicial ticket at least eight of the nine
congressman and a majority of the state
senator's The Democratic state chairman,
f. M. Simmons, gave out q statement this
evening, in which he says: I'VE will elect
both branches of the Legislature. the House
by a large majority and the Senate by a
five of the congressman, with a good chance

BOISE, Ida, Nov. 5.-The campaign in
this State is drawing to a close with all par
ties very confident. There are three tickets
in the feld-Republican, Populist and fu-
sion between Democrats and Silver Repub-
Ncans. 1t is admitted by all parties that
the Republicans have made great gains
ovee two years ago, when they polled only
5000 votes out of a total of $4,000 National
issues have dominated the canvass, special
stress being laid on the free coinage Ques-
ton. The Republicans claim that they will
elect their candidate. w. 3. Reyburn, to
Congress, but the fusionists are equally con-
fident that ex-Congressman Wilson will be
successful. The woman vote is new ele-

are at a loss to know how to estimate the
effect of it's appearance The women have

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 5.-The cam

night with good prospect for heavy vote
on Tuesday. There are three state and con-
gressional tickets in the field, the officers
to be filled being Governor, secretary Of
state auditor, treasurer, superintendent Of
public instruction and justice of the SUI
preme Court. Three parties-Republican
Peoples and fusion of the Democrats
and silver 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 conclusion of the war with
Spain and the gold standard. Fusion issue
was free coinage of silver and criticism of
the conduct of the war Indications point
to the election of Monden to Congress and
the entire Republican state and legislative
tickets by moderate maiorlAes.

south Dnkota Estimates.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 5.-A COM
plete state and congressional and legisla-
tive ticket is to be chosen in this State The
Republicans are lighting against a fusion
of Populists, Democrats and Free Silver
Republicans. The Prohibitionists have a
ticket in the field, but it will not secure 1000
voters. The Republicans have forced the
fighting on national issues, and have urged
upon voters the duty of standing by the adj
ministration. The Republican platform de-
clares unequivocally for the gold standard.
The fusionists have avoided silver issues
where possible, have criticised the admins
trations conduct of the war and have urged
their claims to suffrage on the strength of
having passed a stringent anti-railroad law
two years ago. Chairman Harriod of the
Republican committee, predicts victory for
the state ticket, and says two Republicans
will be elected to succeed two PopulistS in
Congress. Chairman Kidd of the Populist
state committee, predicts the election of the
fusion ticket by not less than 5000.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. 5.-The Con-
necticut campaign has been commonplace.
The Republicans tonight are claiming safe
and generally handsome majorities for their
candidates for all offices. The Democrats
refrain from wholesale claims and content
themselves with declaring that the Repub-
lican majorities of 1896 will be markedly re-
duced. Impartial observers are inclined to
predict the election of Senator Lounsbury,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
with all of his colleagues on the Republican
ticket. The state Legislature is booked by
experts as easily Republican on joint bal
lot, while in the four congressional districts
three Republicans are practically sure of
election.

Voorhees, Way Be Elected.

NEWARK, N j., Nov. 5.-Both sides on
the eve of election appear to be confident of
success. The leaders at the rival head
quarters to-day were not inclined to boast
much about figures. Chairman Murphy, of
the Republican state committee, said he
felt justified in claiming that Voorhees,
would be elected Governor by from 1000 to
10000 plurality, and that sthe Republicans
would have a ma; ority in the next Legis-
lature on joint ballot. Senator James Smith.
the Democratic state leader, whose re-elec-
ton is at stake told everyone that he felt
sure of the election of Crane for Governor,
but could not conceal his anxiety about
the Democrats carrying the Legislature.

RENO, New, Nov. 5.-The best in
formation obtainable indicates the election
of the silver ticket with possibly three ex-
ceptions, Governor, superintendent of public
instruction and state controller, down to the
county ticket where the silverites and
Democrats are fused but where it is ex-
pected the vote will be more for the man
than for the party. Senator Stewart has
looks a winner, but the anti-Stewart people
claim safe majority iii the Legislature
this winter. There has been much talk of
defeating Newlands for Congress, but it
seems utterly unfounded. Sadler will run be-
bind his ticket, but may be elected through
the vote being divided, each of his three
opponents drawing strong support.

Democrats Expect to Cut Down the
POfntO Patch Man,H Majority.

Potato Patch Mans Majority.
DETROIT, Nov. 5.-Until within a week
of election day the Michigan campaign was
quiet and apathetic. 1t had been conceded
that Governor Pingree and the Republican
state ticket would be easily elected. The
past week, however, considerable opposi-
ton to a second term for the Governor de-
veloped among influential Republicans, but
it is claimed that its effect upon Governor
Pingrees anticipated big majority will not
be especially noteworthy. The Democrats
have made an extremely active campaign,
and they predict the safe election of eX-
Congressman Whiting as Governor They
also claim the election of at least half of
the congressional delegation, which now
contains but two Democrats.
In the selection of members of the Leg
islature Governor Pingree's equal taxation
reforms have developed into almost as
much of an issue as party politics. The
Governors most intimate following are de-
termined that good majority of those ia
voring increased railroad taxation shall be
elected, and they are opposed to the re-
election of United States Senator Burrows.
The Populists and middle-of-the-road Pop
ulists have separate tickets, which seem
destined to cut little figure in the results,
and national issues have not been brought
forward prominently aside from incidental
mention in the congressional contests.

gressional delegation will have an increased
Democratic majority. The delegation now
stands seven Democrats and four Repub-
licans. The Democrats figure that only in
the Eleventh district are the Republicans
certain of electing their candidate, Vincent
Boreing, while in the Fifth, Eighth and
Ninth, where the Republicans now have the
representatives, the Democrats concede
their opponents have no more than fair
chance to win. On the other hand, the Re-
publicans are confident of returning Waiter
Evans from the Fifth, or Louisville, dis

entirely in harmony. They claim that Pugh.

maintain that Davidson, in the Eighth, has
