Tomorrow's Elections.


stage of a Congress contest. The fact
that neither State nor city officers are to
be chosen has helped to take from tn
canvass the snap and vim that usually
attach to political fight in this State.
The election will be the first one under
the new constitution, the franchise
clause of which largely eliminates the
negro vote, which has heretofore been a
bulwalk of strength for the republican
party. The democrats are confident Of
eIecting all ten members of Congress.
Baltimore, Nov. 3.-The republicans
declare that they will elect five out o
the six Congressman in Maryland.
Democratic leaders claim three districts.
The hottest fight is in districts three and
four in Baltimore. In the former
Wachter, republican, present incumbent,
is making the battle of his life against
Never. In the latter Denny (dem.) is
fighting to what looks like victory against
Schirm, the present congressman. The
undeclared vote in Baltimore will cut
quite a figure bat its seems that the repub-
licans stand less chance to carry all the
districts than they did at the last election.
New York, Noy. 3.-Betting in Wall
street this morning on the State election
was to in favor of Odell. Wasser-
man Brothers bet SO, 600 to 81, 800 with
Street and Norton, on Odell.
Philadelphia, Nov. 3.-There seems
little reason to doubt that Pennsylvania
will be carried tomorrow by ex-Judge
Pennypacker, the republican guberna-
torial candidate. Republicans are claim
ing that their majority will be at
least $50, 900. Leader Durham ,one OF
Quay's chief lieutenants in Philadelphia,
announced that Philadelphia would give
Pennypacker 100, 600 plur atty and the
republican organization would elect
every member of the legislature. The
republicans confidently expect to carry
Allegheny county which includes Pitts
burg and which has been one of the chief
storm centres in the present campaign
Pennypacker's cordial praise of Senator
Quay has been the only campaign argu-
ment of the opposition while the free
silver leanings, during the Bryan cam
paigns, of Ex-Governor Pattison, the
democratic candidate, have risen up
against him. Pattison, however, is
extremely popular in many rural sec
tons where Pennypacker is unknown.
New York, Nov. 3.-When the vote
is cast tomorrow the dullest and most
apathetic gubernatorial and congress
sional campaign in many years will be
closed Before leaving for his home to-
day Governor Odell said that he was
confident of being elected. Chairman
Dunn of the republican State committee
last night said he had no reason to
change his estimate of 81, 900 plurality
for Odell. Frank Campbell, chairman
of the democratic State committee, and
John n. Carlisle of the democratic
executive committee made an official
declaration last night in which they
claimed that, as the result of house to
house canvass of every county, Coler
will be elected by plurality of not less
than 5000. From inside sources OF
both sides there is feeling of nervous
ness because of the apparent closeness
of the content. This Independent vote
is going to do the trick; the dyed in the
wool vote is known.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. 3.-Both sides
were never more confident of winning
an election in Mercer county, than they
are today, The outlook is that the
democrats will make substantial gains
in the country, but it is doubtful if they
will make sufficient Roadway to win.
1t is practically conceded that ex-Judge
William NJ. Lanning will carry the
county by good majority.
Providence, r. l., Nov. 3.-lt is con-
ceded by both republicans and democrats
that the vote for Governor will be close,
Both sides claim the House, but the
Senate will be republican. The Con-
gressional contests will be decided by
narrow margins, both republicans and
democrats claiming the elections.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. Both
republican and democratic managers and
candidates claim Connecticut for tomor
rows election. The legislature will be
republican and will elect United States
Senator.
Manchester, n. H., Nov. 3.-The
indications are that republican Congress
men Sulloway and Courier will be re-
elected tomorrow by reduced majorities
The democrats claim that the governor
ship is in doubt. The republicans in
sst that their candidate will be elected
but admit the vote will be close than
for years. The democrats will gain
largely in the legislature on the license
issue.
- Boston, Nov "a bet of to is
offered here that Col. CASTOR, democrat,
will be elected Governor of the State to-
morrow, the encouraging reports received
at the headquarters of the democratic
state committee from the party leaders
throughout the entire state having given
Col. Gaston's supports increased confid-
ence in the final outcome ofthe campaign.
At republican headquarters the size of
Bates plurality is the only uncertainty
existing.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. Both demo-
cratic and republican leaders are claim
ing majority Of the congressional re-
to be elected tomorrow.
Republicans claim that the House of
Assembly will have the same majority
as last winter, while democrats are claim
ing gain of ten assemblymen.
Wilmington, Del. Nov. 3.-Demo-
cratic leaders express confidence in the
