Battle Cry Of the Republicans and
Necessitates the Power OF
Administration.
REPUBLICANS ARE CONFIDENT
Greatest Interest centers in the State
Of New York Over One Of the
Greatest Fights in the History
of the Country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-With but
two full days intervening before the
country will elect the Sixtieth con-
gress. there is decidedly a general
area of high pressure in the political
atmosphere The expert prognostica-
tors have stopped analyzing local con-
| ditions. They have made their final
| claim covering the whole area, and
are sitting tight and waiting for Tues
day. The Republicans claim. eminat-
ing from the headquarters of the Re-
publican committee in New York, is
to the effect that the Republicans will
have q majority of IS in the next
house Of representatives. An analy-
sis of this claim is as follows: Sure
Republican districts, 222 sure Demo-
cratic, 100 doubtful, but probably Re-
publican, 21 doubtful, but probably
Democratic, 13.
The Democratic congressional cam
paign committee from their headquar-
ters in washington, has figured out
81 Democratic gain over its present
representation In the house. Chair
man James M. Griggs thinks this claim
rather conservative and is quoted as
saying: The claim of Democratic
gain In New York is safe" The DEM
ocratic committee claim a gain of one
congressman from each in the states
of Massachusetts,, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Montana, Delaware, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Idaho and vir-
ginia, and there seems to be no doubt
but this claim is good. The claim of
six in Pennsylvania is too conserva-
tive. The same may be said of six
in Illinois We will gain eight in
Missouri, sure, said Chairman Griggs.
The Republican concede to us five in
Ohio, but we will do better than that. |
The computation that puts us down |
for gain of only one in Indiana is
We can safely count on a
gain of three in New Jersey, while
gains will be made in California, Ne
braska and Iowa.
Should the Democrats gain 81,
which seems probable tonight, that
party will have a majority of % in
he Sixtieth congress. While from a
rational standpoint, the congression-
u election Is regarded emphatically
in some localities 1t has
,een thrown entirely in the back
sroud by state politics. Twenty-Five

wholesale robbing Of freight cars ever known
One OF the men implicated confessed that ii
was the practice of the members of the gang
to visit the railroad Yards early in the evening
Tor the purpose Of breaking into the cars. The
goods secured were thrown under the cars from

The wholesale nature Of the scheme is shown

than a dozen dwelling houses occupied by mem.

visited found and recovered property which had
been stolen from cars -[o..-s
The articles carried off range from chear
