DRY GOODS.

New York, October 27.-Results in
dry goods have known no change of
moment to-day. There has been fair
showing of buyers in town and reor-
ders by mail have been fairly heavy.
Prints and similar lines have suffered
considerably from yellow fever con-
ditions in Louisiana, Mis1|3ippi and
other Gulf States were ordered freely
to-day, the cold weather of that sec
ton having relieved merchants of all
anxiety On the fever scare. Print
cloths have attained great firmness, and
this too helped the situation in cotton
goods of all descriptions. Still, the
weak spots in the general market are
heavy. The print cloth market was
reported quiet to-day. Staple ccttons
were quiet in nearly all lines, but the
market showed considerable strength.
Prints showed generally improved con-
ditions.

w. w. Beall, chairman of the Demo-

Capt. Dovener in the upper end of the

To sum the situation up the Wells

1t will be noticed that the big
changes are made in Warrington and
Fairmont districts. In 1896 Dayton
had 4S majority in Fairmont district;
the Democrats have gained SO. In
Warrington, Dayton's majority in 1895
Was PA, and it will be cut down to
151. Pawpaw was 1913 Democratic in
1896, is now estimated at 1875.
Chairman n. l. Kendall, Of the Re-
publican County Executive Committee,
refuses to discuss this poll.
1t is said Senator Elkins has given
UP Dayton, and is working to elect
Jesse F. Sturm to the State Senate,
and w. H. Veach county commits
sioner, so as to elect the members Of
the Legislature in 1850. Jesse F.
Sturm is hold-over Senator if elected,
so this would make EIkins all right
for an election as United States Sena-
tor again in 1900. With these ends in
view Republicans are sacrificing
George q. Burris, one of the ablest men
on the ticket, in order to get votes for
Veach for county commissioner. Bur-
mis- is a candidate for the Legislature.
Capt Prichard is the other candidate
for the Legislature, and he is being
traded some, but not as much as
Burris. This is a result of Burris
being an unknown quantity. Neither
faction of the Republicans knows
where he stands, ard both the Mason
and Fleming crowds are slashing him.

Dayton McGraw
McGraw's majority .....................

The poll of the counties above is
very fair, and in many places McGraw's
strength is probably underestimate.
For this reason the Register CORE
spondent has no hesitay-/ in saying
Dayton is defeated.
In Barbour county most of the DEM
ocrats place McGraw's majority at 125
or $50, and the most conservative claim
100. A few Republicans claim the
Democratic majority will be so. 1t is
placed in this table at 26, a figure
named by prominC@N Republican in
terested in the pol.
Some Republicans make Dayton
majority in Berkeley only so, instead
of 100.
Both Democrats and Republicans are
watching Pendleton, and a prominent
Democrat puts McGraw's majority at
400, while a Republican, equally well
acquainted with the conditions, make
it $50. But $50 is more conservative
estimate
Republican estimates of RandoIph's
majority for McGraw vary from 400 to
$50. In this table it is $40.
MonOngalia and Preston may give
Dayton majorities larger than here
counted, but are not likely to do so.
Republicans claim 400 in Taylor, but
will be lucky to get the 26S here al
lowed
The estimate for Marion gives Nc
Graw 10S majority. Prominent Demo-
Gratis claim even more than this, and
some estimates give the Taylor coun-
ty man as much as 500. These gentle
men, however, count too much on the
disaffection owing to Dayton's unpopu-
larity. His county poll has been care
fully prepared and is given below:
