says the Democrats will carry forty-six of the lightweight counties, including the five large counties, and have major ity in each branch of the Legislature for the election of Senator to succeed Fora ker.
 Congressman Grosvenor for the Repub- lican side, predicts a larger vote than at the gubernatoriaI election two years ago, when 920872 votes were cast General Grosvenor will not be surprised If the Re- publican plurality reaches 75,000. and he will be greatly surprised if 1t runs under % 900. He figures out as sure of election eighty Republican and thirty five Demo- cratic members of the Legislature with twenty.eight doubtful This would make the Legislature stand with sure Re- publican majority of seven on joint bal lot for Senator and probable majority of fifteen. He regards the reelection of the Republican State ticket and of Sena- tor Foraker as "sure things.
 Hanna and Foraker Speak.
 Cleveland, O.. Nov. 2.-The Republican State campaign was closed in this city tonight, by Senators Hanna and Foraker. After reviewing the recent Spanish-Amer ican war; Senator Foraker said: "The Cuban is getting ready to have his first national election. December S1, and on the 24th of February the first President of the Cuban republic will be inaugurated. And just as soon as he is in office and the wheels of government gets to moving, the last American soldier will be with drawn from that island, and when he marches out of Cuba he will be six feet high, looking every man in the world in the face and with pride. because of the most honorable and efficient service he has ever rendered to humanity to the cause of civilization"
 Senator Hanna divided his speech be- tween State and national policies.

prevent either of these schemes from be- ing carried out, and we shall never do so. We can look forward to the eventual opening of either canal with perfect equanimity, as we do not anticipate any appreciable loss of Income from their competition. We may even benefit by the general development of the traffic that the opening of a canal across the Amerl- can Isthmus may cause"
 The Panama Canal Company Is also ignorant of any action having been taken by the Suez Canal Company against the proposed Nicaraguan Canal Company.
 It is interesting to note that several English authorities interviewed by the Associated Press all declared that the English trade with the far East, where in a few years the largest tonnage would be speeding must be be bound to take the Isthmian route. not only to expedite cargoes, but to avoid~the palpable danger of the Suez Canal route, which now compels them to skirt the shores of three nations, France, Spain and Italy. who by the fall of the handkerchief might be- come hostile. The authorities all as- sumed, without any reservation, that war between Great Britain and the United States is an impossibility.

IN IOWA.
The Odds are Greatly in Favor of
 the Republicans.

Des Moines, la, Nov. 2.-The political campaign in this State was practically closed this afternoon with Republican rally in this city addressed by Congress- man Cousins. The apparent overwhelm- ing odds in favor of the Republicans has lessened the interest in the campaign, and 1t is conceded that light vote will be boiled, possibly even less <han two years ago, when the total was 5000. The ke- publican State Central Committee. how ever, estimates that the vote will he in the neighborhood of 450,00o. and that the Republicans will have about 15,000 plu- rality on the State ticket. The Demo- crats do not concede this, and say the plurality will not be much greater than 40. GOO.
 There is an unknown quantity this year. The Prohibition Republicans are dissatisfied with the nomination of AL bert B. Cummins for Governor. on ac- count of his well-known nti-prohibition record, and will either vote the prohibit tion ticket of not at all. This dissati5fac- ton may swell the prohibition vote to 20010 or more On the other hand, Cum mins is likely to gain some strength from the gold Democrats
 The Republicans claim they will make gain of twenty members of the General Assembly and will have an overwhelming hlhJOiity III bOtH IlOuStS- llt DSlip- crats are working hard in the legislative districts, however, and there are likely to be some surprises, though probably not enough changes will be made to endanger the election of two Republican United States Senators.
 Secretary Wilson Speaks.
 Dysart. Iowa, Nov. 2.-The principal speakers at the Republican meeting here tonight was Secretary of Agriculture Will son. who said in part:
 ''The soul of reciprocity is arranging for buying things from certain countries that we do not produce at home, and selling to them what they require and cannot produce. This is favorable ar rangement to both sides. No party au- thority has ever suggested reciprocity at the expense of any of our home indus riesty
 Reciprocity may become the auxiliary oI protection by opening markets for our surplus products of field and factory in countries where we buy what We do not produce. or where we buy much more than We sell ,or. it may become the assas- sin or our protective policy by admitting to our markets what we do produce that needs protection for the purpose of get ting new markets for some of our pro ducts that no longer requires any favors.
 Conditions in our country are chang ing. Our population is rapidly increas- ing. while new land on which to grow grain are not increasing. It is within our power to increase the grain yield of our acres by hybridizing, selection and better farming. But the age of very cheap grains Is passing
 There Is a struggle among nations at the present time for the commerce of the world, and abundance of cheap food is prime necessity in this race. The nation that excludes cheap food stuffs will fall behind in the contest.
 The growth of our country in so many directions justifies the conclusions that we are developing toward a condition of completeness as national unit"

In Maryland.

Baltimore Nov. 2.-Although both the Democratic and Republican managers profess the utmost confidence in the re- suit of the election Tuesday, the recently enacted law and the developments result ing therefrom have introduced an element of uncertainty, which neither side can solve. The only interesting feature in the election is the Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator to succeed George L. Wellington. It it generally ad- mitted that if the law which was intend- ed to dsfranchise the illiterate colored voters accomplishes that purpose. the Democrats have the better chance of winning. There are in round numbers 5O. 900 illiterate, voters in Maryland, of whom 32, 900 are colored and 1S,O00 white. All of the colored illiterates and perhaps 5000 white illiterates are Republicans.

to wind its way down his breast,

ground and erected some hitching
posts therein, so that visitors to the
fair could tie up and be so cents
ahead of the society without expert
enoing any Inconvenience. The society
concluded that it was detrimental 10
their interests and so did not renew
the lease this year.
Some people were very indignant
because the society had concluded to
quit furnishing posts for the purpose
of beating itself out of 80 cents, and
turned about and went home. This
shows the unreasona bleness Of people.
No other society in the world does
such a foolish thing. During the
day somebody broke down the fence
and the space was again filled as
usual
Considering the terrible dust and
the opposition which always attacks
every public enterprise of this nature
the fair this year may be said to have
been complete success. The officers
are entitled to much praise for sacri-
ficing time and hard work to bring
about this successful exhibition.
The leading feature was the Stay
ton Jubilee Singers, who delighted
the multitude in the grand stand with
their music.
Delegates were present from all
neighboring towns. Lancaster sent
the largest delegation.
The concert in the evening at City
hall by the Slayton Jubilee Singers
was attended by house full OF APP
preciative people. who vigorously APP
plauded every effort of the colored
singers.
Following the concert was dance
with music by Carpenters harp or
chestra of McGregor. A hundred
couples of young people renamed to
enjoy the dancing and the fine music.
