Murders THAT VIII Not "out.-
New York Evening Post.

New 1OTk Evening 1OSl-
There was printed i'm our columns last
evening a list of some sixty unexplained
murders committed since Nov. /, 1895, in
this city. In each instance the police have
been unable, after weeks and months OF
search, TO tell anything about the GRIM
inals. Ii would hardly seem possible TO
obtain more conclusive evidence as to the
deterioration of the force once known as
1.-The finest" Even in the days when the
brutal Inspector Williams was one OF the
lights of the force, reliance was placed
upon Inspector Byrness detectives TO keep
down the worst crimes. Now the corrup-
ton has gone so far to have Slapped
the efficiency of the detective branch of
the force. A striking example of this was
given yesterday, when the police board
promoted TO the rank Of detective sergeant
u patrolman against whom many charges
Of assault have been made, and who has
repeatedly been scored by Police Court
magistrates for inefficiency. Ability TO
handle mobs and crowds is now about the
only thing for which the police can be
given credit. Even this efficiency cannot
last under existing conditions, and the time
surely cannot be far off when the citizens
will insist upon a radical reform, il only
10 protect themselves and their property
from frequent homicides and outrages.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 5.-Eve of
election finds both parties still stoutly
claiming that they will cary the State.
Conservative Republicans estimate the ma
jority for their ticket in the State between
six and eight thousand, and say this ma
Jority will carry with it the congressional
and State tickets, and a comfortable ma
jority on joint ballot in the next Legisla-
ture. The fusionists say Bryan will carry
the State by at least 1000, and that their
congressional and State nominees will be
elected by majorities ranging from 1850
TO $500. They also claim they will have
majority of not less than twenty on joint
ballot in the State Legislature, insuring the
return of Richard f. Pettigrew to the
United States Senate.

that the Legislature is safe TOR the Re-

IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Republicans Say 100000 for Mckinley
Democrats Concede Only 10000.


BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 5.-Although the
majority of the voters in Massachusetts
will cast their ballots tomorrow i'm favor
of Mckinley and Roosevelt, just what the
size of this majority will be and just how
many Republican congressman will be
elected is a matter upon which the party
leaders fail to agree. The Republicans are
confident that President Mckinley will
have at least 100000 votes more than Mr.
Bryan, while the Democrats believe that
sc, 900 will be nearer the mark. Four years
ago the Republicans carried the State by
115. 900 plurality. but dssensions in the DEM
ocratic ranks cut wide swath in the or
binary party vote. This year this disaffec-
ton has almost entirely disappeared. 1t
is believed that Governor Crane will run
somewhat ahead of the national ticket,
especially in the western part of the State.
AS usual, the Republican State candidates
will be elected, with the exception. per-
haps, of auditor, there is strong Senti-
ment. especially among the grand army
veterans, against Henry f. Turner, of NAL
den, who defeated the incumbent, John w.

1t will not be surprising, therefore, If Will
liam G.. Merrill. the Prohibitionst candi-
date for the office, is elected. AS for the
congressman, nine Republicans and one
Democrat are practically sure of election.
while in two other districts indications
also favor the Republicans. Very little
change is expected in the Legislature
which has been always strongly Repub-
ican.

WABASH, Ind, Nov. 5.-The Wabash
football team Was worsted to-day in game
with the Fort Wayne High School eleven.
The first half was easy for Wabash, who
scored IL points. In the second half. how
ever, the Wabash team lost its head, and
as the Wabash umpire was objected to and
taken out of the game, the Fort Wayne
referee had things his own way. Fort
Wayne scored 10 in the first and 10 in the
second half, while Wabash got a goose egg
in the second. the final score being 20 TO

OHIO DEMOCRATS WILD.
Show Evidence of JOnesism by Claim
ing the State for Bryan.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.-All speculation
tonight is on the question of Democratic
gains in the cities and Republican gains i'm
the rural districts of Ohio. John r. Nc
Lean is here trying to reduce the Repub-
lican plurality in Hamilton county one-half.
This county gave Mckinley almost 10000
plurality four years ago. Republican State
Chairman Dick says his poll shows more
than so, 900 for Mckinley in Ohio, and seven
teen of the twenty-one congressman.
Democratic State Chairman Long claims
Bryan will carry Ohio, unless prevented
by coercion and purchase"
Both sides are issuing notices and warn
ings about the of pencils and all sorts
of frauds. There is much excitement in
some cities and especially in the towns of
close congressional districts. 1t was thought
that there would be congressional con-
tests here, but much fighting developed to-
day between Cromwell, (Rep.) and Kettler,

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 5.-There has been
no important development in the political
situation in this State since Saturday night.
Both sides tonight profess great eagerness
for the battle tomorrow, and the utmost
confidence in the result. The Republicans
claim a victory for Mckinley by 5000 plu-
rality, the success of the State ticket by
plurality somewhat less, the election of
eight congressman and a majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature. The fusionists
concede one congressman to the Repub-
licans, but claim everything else, placing
Bryan's plurality at 10000. With fair
weather, for which the indications are now
favorable, a very heavy vote will be polled.

estimates. Mckinley will carry the State.

DISAPPOINTMENT AT WABASH
Over the Poor Showing Made In the
Census Report.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Nov. 5.-There is great
disappointment here over the poor showing
made by Wabash and Wabash county In
the census returns. published to day. There
had been claims of a population of 1900,
by enthusiastic residents OF this city. but
conservative estimates were 10000 while
the census gives the city only S.61S. This
is a gain over the population in 1890 of
3,5l3. or nearly SO per cent There has been
a large falling off in the farming dis
tricts of the county. the population of the
county being S,235, an increase of but LOO
in ten years. The loss in the country has
almost wiped out the increase in the towns.
The county, before the census was taken,
was estimated at 10000.
