The circular signed by the business
men" OF Omaha. dated yesterday morning,
but bearing evidence OF having been printed
several days ago, has been received. The
letter Is chiefly interesting for the num-
bcr Of names II does not contain. There
are twenty-five signatures to the docu-
ment, OF which fifteen are jobbers, less
than 10 per cent of the firms engaged in
the wholesale trade in Omaha. The first
names on the list are the managers OF the
South Omaha packing houses, men who,
II current reports be true, are deeply in
terested in the formation OF a trust
against which President Roosevelt is aim
ing the entire legal power OF the United
States. These men want Mercer in con-
gress where legislation, approved by the
president, against trusts, will be intro
duced at the coming session. On the list
are three bankers, including Herman
Kountze, who is especially interested In
the development of a deep water harbor
in Texas. over which the action OF con-
gress will have considerable influence. Out
of more than 800 retail dealers in Omaha
just one has secured a place on the testi-
monial Of the nonresident candidate. The
tobbers who have signed are we'll known
for their intimate associations with the
railroads men who have on more than one
occasion swallowed corporation interfer-
ence in municipal and state affairs rather
than lose the rebate on freight rates by
which they thrive at the expense Of their
fellows. The circular certainly has fallen
Sat and is noticeable only because of the
absence OF names which Mercer claimed

WASHINGTON. Nov. Especial Tele-
gramD-The work Of the two congressional
committees is at an end. The general ap-
Ethy which marked the early stages OF this
years campaign gave way eventually TO a
measure of activity, which has brought the
republicans much encouragement. In the
east, Pennsylvania and New York have been
battle grounds. II is confidently expected
that Pennsylvania will give l00. 900 majority
to the republican candidate for governor,
but New York is gravely doubtful, although
the most conservative estimate gives the
state to Odell by from 10000 to 10000. The
democratic party in the Empire state is
united as it has not been before in years.
The gold democrats are returning TO their
former allegiance and this unknown guam
tity makes the result fairly problematlc
As to the western states democratic lead
ers are not overly sanguine, although for
party prestige they have been doing lot
OF democratic prognosticating which to the
conservative mind is exceedingly ludicrous
in view of the past achievements OF the
republicans in the states now claimed by
the democrats A nonpartisan and con-
servative view Of the contest which closes
tomorrow shows that the republicans are
almost sure TO carry lie seats and the DEM
ocrats 1862, leaving forty seats in doubt.
The republicans have already elected eight
members of the new congress, four in
Maine and two each in oregon and Ver-
mont With the 176 seats which they are
certain to win tomorrow and eight already
won the republicans are reasonably assured
Of 1s4 seats in the next congress. Upon
similar basis of calculation the democrats
are given 162 seats, thus leaving forty dis
tricts in doubt. 1t is impossible to see
how the democrats can secure more than
twelve of these districts, while there seems
hardly any question that the republicans
have a distinct advantage in eighteen OF
them, thus giving them 202 seats. twenty
eight more than enough to control the
house.
