While attempting to board an electric car
in Baltimore Saturday evening, Col. William
kilgour of this town was very seriously in
jured. He sustained a fracture of the nose

he aroused considerable enthusiasm. He
denounced trusts. gave tariff reform as a
remedy, and denounced the republican party
generally.
In conversation with The Star CORE

to say of his chances of election: after a
thorough canvass of the district | feel salts

have received assurances which make me
confident that my vote is going to surprise
my republican friends
In Allegheny county the vote between
Col. Pearre and myself will be very close,
although l am inclined to believe that the
balance will be in my favor. Garrett will
go for Col. Pearre ty a reduced majority,
certainly not more than 800; Frederick will
also be carried by him by small ma jority.
Washington, | feel sure, will give me
majority, but my hopes of victory are
largely based on Montgomery county,
where | have every reason to believe the
democratic majority will be unprecedented.
II confidently look for thousand major
ity in the old stronghold, and if my expe,-
tations are realized by two hundred my
election is assured.
