 The impression In uninformed quar- ters that the Democratic managers are permitting the campaign to slide along at an easy gate as best 1t may with out enort Is erroneous. The campaign on both sides has been slow in gather ing Itself for action, and In every part of the country there Is an apparent in- disposition on the part of the people to interest themselves at this time in the contest or even to talk politics.
 The Republican managers, as much s the Democrats have been confronted with this condition. and the apparent inactivity is due to the public apathy, not lethagy on the part of the campaisn got into the open field somewhat in advance of their opponents. have dis covered the impracticability of trying to make headway at this time and have apparently gained hno advantage from trying to force the campaign. Tie speakers. even Mfr. fairbanks, the Vice Presidential candidate, have bee talking to small audiences, and there has been little enthusiasm that was not laboriously manufactured.
 The most reliable information with reference to the Democratic side of the campaign Is that practically all the countered at the beginning have been overcome and the organization is in ex- ce1lent shape for an effective campaign. Many serious annoyances attended the organization by the Democrats in con sequence of individual rivalries, differ ences of opinion and the necessity of overcoming alterations which have de- veloped during the last twelve years
 It is understood that the threatening aspect of things in New York on ac :. count of local rivalries among the Dem. ocrats has been entirely overcome and that complete harmony of effort in be- half of the party Is assured in that State. Judge Parker is. in an unob- structive way. taking a very active part in the management of the campaign, not in the adjustment of differences

INDIANA CAMPAIGNING.
Democrats Encouraged Over the State

 Indianapolis Special to N. Y. World. The array of political speakers and meetings announced for Indiana this week looks ormidable-reminders of 's6. The Democrats have had no enec- formidable Republican victories of the last twelve years. This year the Dem ocrats have donned their fighting clothes and seem to be in earnest: The Republicans have been making a gum shoe canvass for the last three months. MT. Hanley, their candidate for Governor. already has made seven- ty-five or a hundred addresses at coun,, ty fairs. Sunday school pfcnics and church camp meetings.
 Mir. Kern, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has been on the stump for three weeks and Is doing effective meeting at Anderson. Ills meetings generally have been we'll attended, but other prominent Democrats and Repub. licans complain of small gatherings and

Both chairmen agree that statements giving polls of Indiana recently published Tn New York and other metropolitan cities are inaccurate. The polling is in an unfinished state, and results will not be given for publication.

 Superstitious people were startled this morning to see big owl perched on the window ledge above Senator Fairbanks office.

EUNIs WAS KILLED.
Crushed to Death Between Wall and
 Cars.

Gadsden, Sept. 22.-(Special) )-An accident occurred at the ore mines of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company today. which resulted in the death of John Eunis, a miner.
 MT. Eunis was at work in mine No. and started out and when within two hundred yards of the entry he met a mule pulling an empty train of cars and driven by a boy. Eunis stepped to one side to allow tho mule and cars to pass, but the space was too small between the cars and wall for q man to pass. consequently the side blanks on the car struck Eunis and ground him between the wall and car Eunis called to the mule to stop. which frightened 1t and the mule began to run and Eunis was dragged for some distance. breaking several ribs. his right arm and bruising him up in a horrible manner and producing inter- nal injury. which resulted in his death in a few hours after the acci- dent. He leaves a family.

 His influence Is said to be felt in every direction, and his suggestions are policy. Democrats who are familiar with the inner workings of the cam paign management are hopeful almost to u point of confidence. The difficul. ties that have been met and overcom3 have been greater than anything that now appears in their way, and the most skeptical and conservative of those who are well informed believe that Parker will. be elected. Of course. the great brunt of the campaign is to come. but the field has been cleared of obstruc. tions and everything Is about ready for a general assault under conditions much more favorable for Democratic success than seemed possible few weeks ago.

Fireman Williams, Who Was Injured

A suit to recover $1.999 from the At- lantic Coast Line was filed yesterday in the City Court of Montgomery by John Williams. fireman recently in the employ of the railroad company.
 The suit Is a result of the collision between two trains near Elba Junc- tion on August 12 in which Engineer Mclaughlin lost his life.
 Williams was fireman on one of the engines and was painfully injured, hence the suit.
 The case will be tried at the next term of court.

In 1898 the Transvaal's gold output was ss0 LOGO 900. Last years production equalled but $s1, 900, 900. while the first six months of this year amounted to $3s.000,000. English enthusiasts count upon yearly production of from $120,- 0O0, 900 to $15O, O,o00. .0O0 from that source within a very few years. and if 1t should reach that point while other countries produce their normal quota, the world would bask in the sunshine of an output of 100000, 900.

 Governor Odell's State and County machines are reported to be hampered by a lack of funds. Many district leaders in the New York County organ ization are grumbling openly and threatening to let matters slide.'

 Many of the district leaders upon alleged pledges made to them by the Governor, advanced their personal funds to put out banners. arrange for meetings and organize clubs for the State and national tickets.
