Question Rests on Republican Ma
jOrity In Congress.
CINCINNATI, Nov 5.--The campaign
closed here tonight as 1t did elsewhere In
Ohio, with demonstrations. In this county
which includes the First. and Second con-
gressional districts, there has been no speak.
ing except by local talent until tonight
when Hon. Charles Emory Smith, postmas-
ter general; GENERAL Charles II. Grosvenor
congressman fZIaxs sbsgAthens district, and
others addressed the republicans at Music
hall.
fractional differences have caused inde-
pendent and fusion tickets here the last two
years, but this year there are straight party
tickets only. For this reason the repub-
licans will likely elect both congressman,
but the old factional lines may affect their
county tickets. The only national issue agl-
tated here was on sustaining the national
administration with a republican majority
in congress. Neither side discussed u
tariff, currency or other questions. There
are five state tickets-republican, demo-
cratic, prohibition, socialists and reformers
While the republicans will likely carry the
state, the democrats claim the republicans
cannot gain any congressman. On the last
presidential vote the republicans secured
fifteen and the democrats six congressmeu
in Ohio.

KANSAS VOTERS ARE APATHETIC
Both PopuIists and Republicans
Claim Congressional Districts.

Both POpulists and Republicans
Claim Congressional Districts.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 5.-The campaign in
Kansas has been remarkable for the ear
nest work of the leaders and the apathy
OF the voters, particularly in the country
districts.
There are four tickets in the field, the
populists (fusion), lead by Governor Leedy;
republicans, by w. L. Stanley; prohibition
lists, by ex-senator PETER, and socialist
labor, by Caleb Lipscomb. The populists
have made strong feature of the record
Of their state officers; the republicans, while
answering this. have featured the record of
President Mckinley.
AS the plurality Of Leedy was but slightly
above 1000 the margin for speculation on
tho result is very light. All but one of the
eight congressional districts are claimed by
both the republicans and populists. con-
servative estimate of the winners in the
congressional fight would perhaps be as fol-
lows: epublican-Curtis, in the First;
Bowersock; Second; Miller, Fourth; Bailey,
at large. Populist-Ridgely, Third; Vim
cent, Fifth; Simpson, in Seventh; the Sixth
Is in doubt.

CHICAGO Nov. 5.--Only two minor state
officers are to be voted for generally in
Illinois next Tuesday. Twenty-Five congress-
men and legislature are however, to be
chosen, and the interest is centered in
them. While the lower house will not par
ticipate in the election of a United States
senator, twenty-sX OF the state senators to
be selected will hold over and take part in
naming a successor to Senator Cullom. The
republicans claim sixteen Of the districts,
giving ten to the democrats. The latter, on
the other hand, say they will elect seven
teen senators and the republicans four. The
other five districts are doubtful. The pres
ent congressional delegation consists of sew
enteen republicans, four democrats and one
fusionist.
The republicans assert that they will gain
one or two seats. The democrats on the con-
trary are confident Of carrying Chicago and
II they do their expectation of several new
congressman may be realized. Silver formed

democrats in the congressional districts,

RESULTS IN DOUBT IN MISSOURI
Campaign Regarded as Remarkable G
for an cor. Yenr,


ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-Tonight saw the
close OF a political campaign in Missouri
that has been remarkable for an off year.
Out in the state the campaigning has been
heavy. The republican state managers were
prepared for democratic apathy in the state
and arranged to make a still hunt canvass
for the legislature. Unoffically it is claimed
at democratic headquarters that they will
carry seventy nine out of 115 counties in the
state, leaving entirely out OF the count those
which are doubtful. Sixteen counties are
put in the doubtful column.
The democrats still claim every congress
man except Richard Bartholdt. The repub-
licans claim that the congressional delega-
tion from the state will number the same as
at present-twelve democrats and three re-
publcans.
In regard to the legislature, the demo-
Gratis claim they will have a majority of
twenty on joint ballot, while the republic
ans claim that they will have majority Of

III the sick who are suffering from

REDUCED VOTE IN MINNESOTA.
Constitutional Amendment VIII Dis
frnnchise MnmN NOicrs.


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 constitu-
tional amendment adopted two years ago,
resulting in the disfranchisement of many
foreign born residents, second naturaliza-
tion papers and longer residence in the state
being now required. The republicans have
made a general campaign an both national
and state issues, while the democrats have
held closely to state issues. Besides the full
state ticket and congressman, the Legislature
to be elected will elect a successor to Senator
Cushman X. Davis and the senators who
also participate in the election of sue
cessor TO United States Senator Knute Mel
son. Judge ]. d. steele, chairman of the
republican state committee, predicts the
election of the entire republican state
ticket congressional delegation and a sare
majority in the legislature.
L. a. Rosing, chairman of the democratic
state committee, feels sure of the election
of John Lind fusion candidate for governor,
by majority Of 10000.

SIX TICKETS IN WISCONSIN.
Democrats to Win Must Overcome an
Enormous Plurality.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 5.-There are six
state tickets in the field from which the
voters will have a chance to make a choice.
The chairmen OF the republican and dem
ocratlc state central committees claim to be
sure OF victory, the former by from 80, 900
to 10000 plurality. In this election the
democrats to win must overcome a plurality
OF nearly 100000 votes OF two years ago.
OF the ten congressman to be chosen, the
chances greatly favor the republicans, as
the election will be held under the appor-
tionment 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, II
