Special from a STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK. November 3.-The most po-
tent factor in the present complicated politl-
cal situation in New York is the outlook for
rain tomorrow.
If New York goes democratic 1 reckon we
will have to blame it on the weather. If
the upstate farmers turn out and go to
the polls New York will go republican, for
If the same percentage of the total vote is
polled north of the Harlem south of the
Harlem Oden will have a handsome ma
jority.
/ believe the republicans are so scared
by this time that they will succeed in get
ting out their vote and will pull through
all right.
There is no doubt that they are scared. 1
never saw such enthusiasm as prevails in
this city among the democrats. They are
absolutely crazy with delight at the antici-
patton of giving the republicans a bully old
licking.
Republicans on Their Mettle.
The result is that they have got the re-
publicans on their mettle.
The New York HeraId's poll of yesterday
gave the state to Odell by a plurality of
LOO. The news that the state was in dan
ger on account of the great democratic vote
below the Harlem has spread rapidly
through the state, and the result ought to
be that the republicans up state will arouse
themselves from their apathy and get to
the polls.
These democrats down here who are howl
ing themselves hoarse over the prospect of
q democratic victory, when 1t comes to
backing their judgment with cash, demand
odds of to 1.
The rpOnbliraOS who SHara6 give
the odds.
Why? Because of the big ground swell
of sentiment that sets steadily toward Odell.
Both Chairmen Give Figures.
The wide variance in the claims of the re-
spective party managers indicates that either
somebody is being nightly fooled over the
actual situation or that somebody is telling
fbs.
Chairman Campbell of the democratic
state committee gave out an interview this
morning in which he claimed the state for
Coler by 81, 600
Chairman Dunn of the republican state
committee estimates that Gov. Oden will
be reelected by 1880. The republican ms
concede Greater New York to the demo-
Gratis by $1,000, while the democrats claim
1t by 112,OGO
There is no change in the congressional
outlook The estimate of the probable re-
publican majority in the next House runs
from twenty-five to thirty.
Still Looks Like Odell.
1 have made some careful inquiries today
In certain quarters In both political camps

tion. 1 did not ask for some mans esti,
mate, but for his actual information from
the field. l have been unable to find any
thing today to change the belief heretofore

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 3-Senator
McComas will remain at republican head
quarters until late this afternoon, when he
will bo to Washington county to vote to-

"I am better pleased with the situation
here this morning than l have been at any
time during the campaign" he said this
pm. "AIl reports received are favorable,
and while I am sure we shall elect four out
of the six representatives, I also believe the
chances favor our electi1g the entire delega-
ton of six. There are no signs of demo-
cratic landslide in Maryland. and there will
be no landslide either way"
Chairman Goldsborough again predict d
that the republicans would elect every can
didate, and said he believed the republican
popular majority in Maryland would be
over 5000.

dismissed, on the ground that no federal
question was involved, the writ of error in
the case of Fred A. Baker agt. Stephen
Baldwin. both of Michigan, involving the
constitutionality of the Bland-Allison coin
age act of 1878 providing for the coinage of
silver dollars. The case arose out of a re-
fusal on the part of Baker, to whom Bald
win owed $3.50, to accept silver dollars in
payment. The case was decided in Bald
wins interest by the supreme court of
Michigan. and Baker brought it to the
United States Supreme Court a writ of
error. The former decision was sustained
by todays decision but the court did not
enter into the merits of the controversy.
In dismssing the case the chief justice
simply said:
"As our judgments over the judgment
and DEGREES of state courts in suits in which
the validity of statutes of the United States
is drawn in question can only be exercised
under section 100 of the Revised Statutes.

FIGHT OF HIS CAREER
Has Corliss of the First
Michigan District.
REST OF TICKET SAFE
BLISS MAJORITY ESTIMATED AT
10000 TO 10000.
Campau, Member Democratic National
Committee, Has Remained
Severely Out Of Fight.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
DETROIT, Mich, November 3.-It looks
very much as if the oldest member, In point
of service, of the Michigan delegation to the
lower house of Congress would be retired to
private life after March 4. John B. Corliss
of the first district has been given the race
of his career by Alfred Luckins, the demo-
cratic candidate.
The fight in this district has been full of
interest. Corliss' opponents have pointed
out that he was opposed to President
Roosevelt on the Cuban reciprocity matter.
They have attacked him on his having witt
ten to railroads on the stationery of the
House committee interstate commerce
in regard to a lubricator in which he is al
legged to be interested
President Ledyard of the Michigan Cen
tral was drawn into the controversy Cor
liss attacked the railroad company in re-
taIiation and accused the company with put
ting money into the campaign against him.
Corliss has been fighting hard An effective
piece of work against CorlisS was the bring
ing out of letter written to all Masons in
his district calling upon the fraternity to
come to his aid Masons generally resented
these attempts to use the order for any
such purpose.
Other Districts Safely Republican.
AS to the state campaign generally, it
looks as if all the congressional districts,
except the first, would go republican. This
is principally due to lack of enthusiasm
and need of money the first district being
apparently the only place in the state
where the democrats had the funds neces-
sary to carry on a vigorous campaign.
This district is within the limits of De-
troit, and the local campaign here has been
one of the fiercest in the history of the city.
Mayor Maybury, the democratic candidate,
is running for fourth term, and if elected
his term of service will extend over a
predecessors, not excluding Pingree.
The republican candidate Is DR.. j. H.
Carstens, prominent surgeon.
Bliss Reelection Assured
Gov Bliss will undoubtedly be reelected.
republican managers, although conserva-
tive estimates make the figure between

D. ]. Campau, the Michigan member of
the national committee, who has been the
Bryan leader of the Michigan democracy
since 1896, has remained severely out Of
the fight. His friends fought against the
nomination for governor of Judge George
H. Durand of Flint which was considered
a David B. Hill move. Many of the old
silver leaders were disgruntled at the se:ec-
tion of Judge Durand's brother for COVER
nor when the latter became Ill, and Campau
Sulked in his tent all the campaign. He
was formerly a liberal giver to the cam
paign fund and the state committee has
missed his help. The state committee Off
GERS and Campau sympathizers and con-
siderable reconstruction sill remains to be
done in the democratic partv of Michigan.

Had q Fine Time.

The Presidents special from Brandy, Va,
arrived here over the Southern railway at
11:20, few minutes behind it's schedule
1t was backed into the depot, and the Presi-
dent Immediately came out on the platform
and doffed his hat to the crowd which had
gathered. He spent some time shaking
hands with old friends and expressing his
satisfaction with the brief trip into Vir-
ginia.
Il had a great time" he said 'It was
splendid sport. I didn't shoot anything, to
be sure, but it was the outing that l
wanted. That was all l was after, anyway,
and 1 got it. 1 enjoyed it immensely" The
President was in exceedingly good humor
and laughed heartily over the remarks
about his luck on the shooting trip. He
occupied most of the time during the brief
wait here in his car reading newspapers.
When the train pulled out he stepped to
the platform and bowed to the crowd.
Secretary Root did not go to New York
with the President. He will stay in Wash
ington until o'clock this afternoon, when
ne will take the Pennsylvania Congress
sional Limited for New York, in order that
he may be at his home to vote early to-
morrow morning.
