Hon. James T. Lloyd, member ot
Congress from the First District ot
this State, has introduced a JOINT
resolution to submit an amendment
to the Constitution, changing the
mode. of elcc,ing U. 5. Senators
from the Legislatures to the people
This is thoroughly Democrat,
measure, and it should receive til,
unanimous vote of both houses, eX
cepting, of course, those Senators
who have purchased their seats
The people are weary and disgust
ed with the disgraceiuI conditions
existing in the Senate, where rich
scoundrels buy seats as they would
merchandise, and then make laws
for honest men to live under. In
other words, men who ought to be
in the penitentiarirs sit as Judges
and lawmakers for the people
When Mr.. LIoyd's amendent reach
es the voters, 1t will be adopted
practically without dissent. Miss
Valley Democrat.

CHICAGO DEMOCRACY
 SHOWS ITS STRENGTH
Magnificent Demonstration in the Windy City Brings
 the Heated Illinois Campaign to Close

the campaign at Elmira. Governor Roose- welt addressed a meeting at the Produce Exchange. He will address his friends and neighbors at his home at Oyster Bay on Monday night ,and Republicans are expect ing that this will be one of the most inter- esting rallies of the campaign.
 Leaders on both sides are greatly inter ested in the possibilities in what Is termed the silent vote, as well as the political alignment of first voters and new voters. Estimates concerning the possible action of the silent or secret vote are valueless So far as first voters and naturalized voters are concerned, it may be said that the in- crease in registration in this city this year has been remarkable. The total registra- ton for the five boroughs of Greater New York this year amounts to 640,06S, against b1,129, gain of nearly 70,000 as compared with the registration of four years ago. It Is this new vote and the silent vote that has puzzled both Republican and Demo- cratic leaders.

BABCOCK'S CLAIM
Increases His Estimate of Republican
 Members ot the House

Chicago November 3.-Congressman Bab- cock, chairman of the Republican Con- gressional Campaign Committee, gave to the Associated Press tonight the following statement, covering the expectations of the Republicans as to the next House of Representatives:
 "The Congressional campaign has reach ed a point where the only question is the size of the Republican majority. In my statement given to the press the 27th ult 1 said the Republican members would not be less than 1S7. This number 1 consid- cred at the time beyond any reasonable doubt Since then conditions have continu- ed to improve. The Croker and Jones ad- vice to Democrats suggesting frauds by the Republicans has done much good for one can not point to a single instance where a Republican member has been elect ed by fraud, either in the votes cast or in the count after they were cast, while the majority of the Democratic representation in the House comes from districts where a Republican vote is driven from the polls by shotgun, or if any case it is cast it is counted for the Democratic candidate and the will of the people defeated. The cry of wolf coming from the party that stands sponsor for fraud of the worst type will be resented at the polls. And have every reason to believe fully 200 Republicans will be elected to the Fifty-seventh Congress.

R1oRARDSoN'S CLAIM
Says Democrats Will Have Safe Ma
 jority in the House

Washington, November 9.-Chairman Richardson of the Democratic Congressicn- al Committee tonight made the following statement to the House of Representa- tives:
 We are absolutely certain that the next House will be Democratic, and we believe that the Republicans well know it, and many prominent Republicans have admitted 1t. The majority will be good, safe one al least 25 This committee has not deemed 1t wise to go into detailed estimates show ing the districts we are confident of car- rying or those that they are making a fight for. for the reason that we do not wish to invite greater opposition or cause the Republicans to concentrate their forces in the places where the Democratic can- didates are making headway. The wisdom of this must be apparent to every Demo- crat and is certainly appreciated by every intelligent man.
 'The claims of the Republicans that they expect to carry the House by a decided majority is all for political effect. The prominent men of the party have conceded for some time past that the situation was desperate, and probably hopeless so far as the House was concerned, and claims are now made to keep their spirits up."

CAMPAIGN OF 10OOIS
 PRACTICALLY CLOSED
Chairman Jones Says That Bryan Has Won Victory y-Babcock's
 Claims Reports from States

Chicago November S.-Chairman Jones of the National Demicratic Committee fur nished the Associated Press tonight the following statement of the outlook from his standpoint:
 ''The fight is won MT. Bryan and Ste venson will be elected. The Democratic majority in the national college will be ample. The Democrats will hold all the states they carried in 1896, with the possi- ble exception of Wyoming. We will also carry New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, In- diana, Ohio and Illinois. The chairman of the State Committee of California has just wired me that we will carry that state by 10000 majority. In a general way I should say there will be somewhat a falling off of Bryan's strength compared with 1896 west of the Mississippi and that east of the Mississippi river he will make over whelming gains.
 The campaign has been spirited from the first. The Democrats were somewhat handicapped for want of funds, while the Republicans four years ago had more money than they could use The Repub- licans have endeavored to ntimidate labor ing men and alarm business men, but not with the fierce oppression they brought to bear in 1896. It is my opinion that intimida- tion has been failure this year. and both workingmen and business men will vote according to the dictates of their con- science. Of course the trusts the great aggregations of combined capital, the seek CTS of franchise in Porto Rico and the Philippines, the exploiters generally have spared no effort and will spare no effort to re-elect Mckinley. It is my firm belief, however, that the electorate cannot be de- bauched this year to a sufficient extent to throttle the public will.
 "The country is aroused as it has not been since the days preceding the civil war. The existence of the form of gov ernment as established by the fathers is at stake. Whether the trusts shall gov ern the country or the country regulate the trusts must be deduced It will be found when the votes are counted that the people have determined with emphasis that the republic must be preserved; that the power of the trusts must be curbed ; that the man must be considered before the dollar, and that the voice of the peo- pie cannot be suppressed by intimidation or corruption
 ''The states that will vote for Bryan will show that the people have confidence in him from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the north and south boundaries.

PAYNE'S CLAIMS
The Republican Comm. tteeman Gives
 Out Statement

Chicago, November 3-Henry Payne,
 chairman of the Republican committee,
 furnished the Associated Press tonight with
 the following statement regarding the out look for Tuesday from Republican stand point:
 Our latest advices from New York are conclusive that the State will give large
 majority for Mckinley. Local conditions in
 Greater New York, well known to the coun-
 try, will increase MT. Bryan's vote in that metropolis, but we believe that majority for Mckinley in the State is most con- l servative estimate. Early in the campaign there may have been questions as to the result in Maryland. MT. Bryan's visit to l that State proved injurious to his cSIse, and there has been in the last three. weeks 1 a great revival of feeling among ~sound- money Democrats, especially Tn Baltimore, which pressages a majority for Mckinley or between 1000 and 10000.
 "As to Ohio, there will be losses in Cuya-
 haga County and perhaps one or two of the larger cities, which will be more than
 made up on the rural districts of the State. We predict with the greatest confidence a
 larger majority in the State than was given in 1S96
 Undoubtedly Indiana presents the great est battle ground in the states of the Nid~ | dle West Every vote has been thoroughly contested. The Republicans will suffer losses in few of the larger cities, but there will be gains among the farmers and the first votes of the young men. Develop ments show that the young men of the state are almost unanimously supporting Mckinley and Roosevelt It is understood that Indiana will give majority for the
 Republicans of over 10000.
 Tn the Rocky Mountain states those that
 four years ago went almost solidly for free
 silver there has been a revision of public
 sentiment, and it will not be surprising if all or nearly all of them reverse their po-
 sition of four years ago. It is certain as
 anything can be that Kansas, Wyoming,
 South Dakota and Washington will be car ried by the Republicans by various ma-
 jorities
 "The results of the campaign indicate
 clearly that the administration of Presi-
 dent Mckinley will be sustained by the
 people, and he will secure a larger vote
 than in 1896. both of the popular vote and
 in the electoral college.
 MT. Payne gave out the following detail ed estimate:
 Safe Republican: California g; Connect icut, 6; Delaware, 3; Illinois, "A; Indiana, 15; Iowa, IS; Kansas 10; Kentucky, IS; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 15;

TEXAS.

Houston, November 3.-The political cam paign in Texas closed tonight. R. M. John ston, the national Democratic committee man for Texas, estimates the majority for Democratic electors at not less than 75,O0O. Local differences are expected to bring out a fair vote, though cotton picking will keep several thousand voters at home. The fight in the Tenth Congressional District, where Mayor Walter c. Jones of Galveston is the Republican candidate to succeed R. B. Hawley, Republican, has been stubborny contested by both sides. The Democratic nominee, George F. Burgess, has made a town to town canvass of the district, and the Democratic managers are very confi- dent of success. The Republicans also ex- press confidence and 1t is generally con- ceded that the result Is in doubt

KENTUCKY.

Louisville, November 3.-One of the most memorable political campaigns ever known in Kentucky came to a remarkably quiet close tonight, with both Democrats and Republicans claiming to be stronger than before. The lines, however cannot be said To be drawn between Democrats and Re- publ1cans for the Goebel assassination, and the last gubernatorial election are issues which overshadow the present gubernator- ial race, and the Presidential contest as we'll Beckham, the Democratic Governor, has made a most vigorous campaign, and has stumped the State from end to end. Hon. J. w. Yerkes, conceded to be the strongest Republican in Kentucky, has done likewise, and the leaders on both sides ex- press the sincerest confidence of success next Tuesday
 The Republicans brought their campaign to a close in Louisville last night when Yerkes and other Re publican leaders spoke In various parts of the city, and tonight the Democrats ended their campaign here with MT. Beckham as the principal speak CT at four meetings. Both campaigns were closed amid the greatest enthusiasm and widespread interest
 On account of the Goebel assassination there have been so many breaks in the ranks on both sides that little stress can be placed on the claim of either, and a land slide one way or the other would not be surprising to many. While the campaign has been exciting and at times unusually bitter, there has been very little trouble and no more than the ordinary election day disorders is anticipated Tuesday.

NEW YORK.

New York, November 3.-The Republi- cans practically brought their campaign of 1900 to close today with a large parade, conducted under the auspices of the Busi- ness Mems Republican and Sound Money Association At most of all the Tammany clubs halls in the city final rallies were also held by the Democrats, but these meetings were arranged for members of the organization only, and so far as the gen. eral public is concerned was centered in the spectacular event furnished by the Re- publicans. A cold rain and damp streets interferred with the presence of crowds as large as had been expected at the Republi- can parade and to some extent probably disarranged the plans for local parades and district meetings.
 Generally speaking, however, the Dem ocratic campaign here may be said to have been brought to close last Monday night when W. J. Bryan, after making thirty speeches up the state during the day, ad- dressed . large mass meeting held under the auspices of the Hebrew Democratic or ganizations on the Eastside, afterwards speaking to several mass meetings in Brooklyn.
 The campaign has been conducted with unusual vigor on both sides, and rarely if ever has more hard work been done in this city and state by the leaders of the Repub- lican and Democratic organization AS an indication of the character of the rallies and speakers might be mentioned for the Democrats ex-Senator Hill, who closed the campaign in Buffalo today; Bourke Cock ran spoke at Albany, while John B. Stanch- field, the Democratic nominee for Cover nor spoke at Middletown and several other points in the state For the Republicans Senator Depew addressed a large audience at Walton, and also spoke at several other points in the state. J. Sloat Fassett closed

GEORGIA.

Atlanta, November 3.-The only outward evidence of the Presidential campaign. In Georgia was the great amount of space devoted by the newspapers to "educati tional work" No speakers of national repute came into the State to discuss the issues. and they were touched upon only by local orators in the campaign for Governor. The fact that Georgia Democracy is united probably accounts for the entire absence of all marching clubs and meetings. The Republicans and Populists took no part in the campaign.

ARkAN SAS.

Little Rock Ark, November 3.-The cam paign practically closeds in this state to- day. Democratic leaders claim that if the voters turn out Bryan will carry the state by 75,000. No claims are made by the Republican leaders respecting the vote for the state, but they making a hard eff fort to elect German, Republican, in the Third Congressional district. Every coun- ty in the state ras been canvassed by both sides, and indications point to a large vote.

OHIO.

Cincinnati, O., November 3.-The cam paign closed today with day aAa.-night meetings everywhere. While there have been many meetings in Ohio, they have not had many prominent speakers from other states. It was reported that the Democratic managers thought they could use leading national speakers in more doubtful states to better advantage and the national Republican managers had so much confidence in Chairman Dick that they left him without much assistance. Senator Hanna was at the opening at Youngstown, but later he devoted his at- tention to the other states. while Senator Foraker, Governor Nash. Republican Con- gressional candidates and others canvass ed the counties The Democratic commit tee had MT. Bryan in Ohio twice. Burke Cochran several times and the other prom inent speakers. John R. Mclean, pro prietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Democratic candidate for Governor last year spent the last week with the state and local committees. The campaign has been animated but free from disturbances and such personalities and bitterness as charac- terized other campaigns.
 The Republicans have been. betting even on carrying Ohio by larger plurality than four years ago, when Mckinley had 51,109, but today they were betting on 10000. Odds as high 10 to have been given on Mc kinley carrying Ohio. Most of the vassers anticipate Republican gains in ru- ral districts and Democratic gains in cities, and most of the speculation is on the prob ability of the congressional gains in cities exceeding the rural districts or wise versa.

A NOTABLE CHARIvARI.
Exact Make-Up of the Extraordinary
Orchestra Given by
Peignet.

You read occasionally of a charivari
given in honor of newly welded cou-
pie whose marriage is regarded as in
congruous, or is for some reason I'M
popular, says the Musical Record. At
the "skimmington," described in
Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Cas-
terbridge," the music was furnished
by ''cleavers, kits, crowos, humstrums,
serpents, rams horns and other his
torical kind of music" But Gabriel
Peignots in his "Histoire Morale,
Civile Politique, ct Literature du
Charivari, depuis son origine vers lie
i've steele" gives the exact makeup of
an orchestra for such celebrations in
a town of from $4,000 to 10000 inhab-
itants: Twelve copper kettles, ten
saucepans, four big boilers, three drip
ping pans, - shovels and ~ tongues,
IL dish covers for cymbals, six frying
pans and pipkins, four warming pans,
eight basins, six watering pots, ten
hand bells and mule bells, four strings
of bells, two tambourines, one gong,
one or two empty casks three comets
bouquins, three big hunting horns,
three little trumpets, four clarinets
Gladly keyed, two oboes (ditto), two
whistles (these will be enough), one
musette, four wretched violins TO
scrape, two hurdy- gurdies, one marine
trumpet Gf you can find one), four
rattles, ten screeching voices, eight
bowling voices, three sucking pigs,
four dogs, to be well whipped.
This is all that is necessary" adds
Peignot; Il can assure you that when
all this is vigorously set a-going at the
same time, the ear will experience all
desirable joys"
