DIR. HOGE SUFFERS VERY MUCH.
Internal Injuries Feared-Mrs. Lee
Better-Capt. Fitz Dying.

The condition OF Rev. DR. Moses d.
Hoge last night was considered as ia
vorable as it possibly could be under
the circumstances. He suffered great
pain. and oddly enough his ankle is more
troublesome than his broken ribs. He
sleeps fitfully, but each time he moves
tho consequent pain wakes him up. Dr.
Stuart Mcclure, who saw him yesterday
told his patient that every tissue In his
body was sore, and would be so for
three days at least.
DR.. Hoge's family and attendants are
fearful that ne has suffered some inter
nal injury, for he continues to spit blood,
and the extent of these injuries, If they
exist at all, has not yet been determined.
DR.. Hoge himself firmly believes that
there injuries will be found 10 be eX-
tensiye
DR.. Hunter Mcclure has been called
out Of the city, but will return next
Tuesday, and by that time thorough
diagnosis will be possible.
Hundreds Of people called at the pas
tors residence yesterday TO express their
sympathy. and two servants were kept
hour last night answering the calls
Among the anxious inquirers was Mr.
Lee Strause, who. with Major James III.
Capers, was the first TO reach Or. HOge
after the accident. He related two in
teresting and striklngly Characteristic
circumstances. When he reached Dr..
Hoges side, he said, he found him eX-
tremely pale and apparently unconscious.
Mr.. Strause said 10 those about him, 'ie
must have some brandy at once" where
upon DR.. Hoge promptly intcrjected:
mo, | don't need that" IL was then
suggested By some one i'm the crowd that
gathered that the venerable pastor should
be carried into the jefferson Hotel, but
again he nterpOsed with an objection.
and asked to be taken 10 No. 1 north
Fifth street instead.
The attendant physicians are very san

FIVE TICKETS ~ NEW YORK.
Registration Promises u Large Vote
Democrats Confident.

NEW YORK, November 5.-There are
five State tickets in nomination in New
York, as follows: Republican. Demo-
cratic. Citizens Union, Socialist Labor,
and Prohibition. The Citizens Union vote
Is an altogether unknown quantity, pro-
badly important only If the vote OF tho
two old parties should be divided. The
vote Of tho Socialist party may approx
mate 1000, while the Prohibition vote
has not often been much m excess OF TO-
GO in total sometimes as high as
l,IOOoOG.
Besides State officers, there will be
elected on Tuesday next Legislature
that will choose United States Senator
to succeed Edward Murphy, Jr Demo-
craO. Thirty-fOur representatives In
Congress will also be elected.
DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN METHODS.
The Republican campaign has been an
agrees ive one, and notable for the ener-
~ with which Colonel Roosevelt has
conducted his canvass. In one week
the last week Of OctOber-he traversed
the State from east 70 west and from
west to east again. delivering nearly 100
addresses. some of them OF considerable
length. TO all appearances he aroused
a great deal OF enthusiasm
Judge Van Wyck pursued very DIFF
ferent course. His public addresses have
not exceeded ten. and they were deliv-
cred nj such places as Buffalo. Rochester.
Utica, Elmira, Albany, and New York.
The Democratic candidates Tor State
cffices and for Congress persistently re
fused to be led into discussion OF tho
currency question or other national Is
sues.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The State Senate has a membership OF
fifty and the Assembly one OF 100 As
at present constituted, there is a Repub-
lican majority OF twenty-eight on joint
ballot. Senator Murphy. who IS a can
didate for reelection. has had charge OF
the Democratic legislative campaign The
Republicans are disposed 10 cOncede a
reduction Of their majority In the Legls-
lature. but feel confident that they will
have a working majority I'm both houses.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Democrats confidently expect 10 gain
three or more congressman in districts
below the Harlem river. and possibly as
many I'm Upper State districts. Republic
cans do not feel sanguine OF maintain
ing the preponderance OF twenty eight. az
against six Democrats, IN the New York
delegation
The registration In Greater New York
this year, while not az heavy as last
year, gives promise OF large vote.

INCREASE RATE OF TAXATION

Leaving the Philippine question, Mr.
Montague passed on 10 a discussion OF
taxes. He didn't want to be considered
a calamity bowler, he said. but he did
want 10 know what the government pro
posed 10 do other than increase the rate
OF taxation If values continue go .,rl....
as they now are. Failing prices. misery.
and destruction go hand in hand and
though falling prices are the evils which
now confront the people the Republicans
are asserting that an era of prosperity
is on us Mr. Montague expatiated at
some length on falling prices and the dis
aster that follows them, and made a
number OF practical illustrations, each
one driving a point home.
POOR OLD SHERMAN.
Mr. Montague quoted from John Sher-
mans speech on the silver question 10
emphasize point he made and referred
to the old retired politician as poor, old
victim OF the Hanna machine" who had
been drawn into its meshes and crushed
and ground TO pulp, and then thrown
aside as useless. The speaker read not
only from Mr. Sherman's speech. but from
that OF John J. Carlisle. made In 1870.
