New York, Nov 6,-The latest
forecast of Tuesdays elections show
that Hearst and Mcclellan are run
ming neck and neck in this city. with
the chances favoring the former, and
Jerome a certainty. In Pennsylvania
both sides are claiming victory, but
the indications point to a reform tri-
umph in Philadelphia and perhaps in
the state. In Massachusetts the
Democrats are confident. Indica-
tions point to a Democratic victory
in Maryland. and in Virginia the only
question is the size of the Democratic
majority, The gubernatorial contest
in Rhode Island is in doubt Both
sides are claiming certain victory in
Ohio, where a governor is to be elect
ed Betting men in San Francisco
are backing the union labor candi-
date to win in his fight for the mayor
atty of that city. The swing of The
Mormon vote to the Republican ticket
in Salt Lake practically insures the
election to that ticket

REV. WALTERS FAREWELL.

Last evening the Christian church
was filled by the members OF the con
gregation and many outside friends
who had gathered to hear the fare
well sermon of Rev. Frank +. Walters
who. having resigned the pastorate
of the church will leave this week
with his family for new home in the
east
Rev Walters took for his theme
The Cities of Refuge" and the ser
mon was one of the strongest Rev
Walters has ever delivered in the
city. 1t was a discourse of remark
able power and deepest thought and
made lasting impression upon the
large congregation.
The closing remarks of the retir-
ing pastor were touching. he spoke
most feelingly of his residence here
and with what regret he gives up his
work here. He paid a high tribute
TO the people of Grand Junction, and
declared that II was-his sincere wish
that the city shall continue to ad-
vance and prosper. There were but
few dry eyes in the congregation
when Rev. Walters closed. II was
service long to be remembered by
all who We're present.
At the morning service Rev.
Walters. took for his text. Il Com
mend You to God" and he delivered
strong message TO the church. This
discourse was heard by very large
and appreciative congregation and was
equally strong as the evening SER
mon,
Seven new members were taken in
to the church yesterday. three at the
morning service and four in the even
ing. The ordinance of baptism was
administered to four candidates in
the evening.
Tomorrow evening a farewell re-
ception in honor of the minister and
his family will be held at the Chris
tian church and cordial invitation
to attend is extended TO all friends.
Noesho. Missouri, to which city
Rev, Walters and his family will re-
move is one of the best of the smaller
cities of Missouri and has a popula-
tion of 5000 and the church of which
Rev. Walters will become pastor, is
one of the strongest in that section
of the state.
1t is regretted that the condition
of Rev Walters health makes II
absolutely Necessary for him to re-
move TO lower altitude. The local
church will not easily find a man
who will prove such a faithful. popu-
lar and successful pastor The sum
mary of the work Rev. Walters has
accomplished in the past two years
published in the Sentinel a few days
ago shows that his record as a pas
tor has been an enviable one.

Ottawa, March Northwest mem
bers were comforting today on the edu-
cational clause of the autonomy bill.
The more the subject is discussed by
the Western men the more firmly they
are convinced that the original position
they took was the best to pursue. They
notified the Government IN the first in
stance that the present conditions in
the Northwest in regard to education
were the only ones which they could ac-
cept, but the bill goes very much fur
ther To settle all disputes upon this
point the Northwest members will frame
clause and submit it to the Govern
ment. It viii embody what they will
support and can defend. II will contain
all that is now in existence in the North
west Territories as far as the school
system IS concerned and nothing more.
This ought to be satisfactory, but there
are those in the East who want to go
very much farther, although maintain
ing that the clause as now framed mere
" gives what the people now have.
Until this is settled the crisis still hangs
over the Parliament building at Otta-

easily disposed Of, but seemingly the
