WILMINGTON, Del, November 5.-The
campaign in Delaware has been spirited
throughout, being marked by the presence
of separate republican tickets in Newcastle
county. The latter the republican ticket
and the union republican or Addicks ticket.

in Congress. state treasurer and state audi
tor and legislature that will elect a United

of two republican tickets in Newcastle
county will aid the democrats.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., November Sin Wy
oming the campaign has been short, but
the democrats have made an aggressive
fight on reform lines, attacking the repub-
iican organization on economic grounds,
such as differentiation of railroad prop
erty, giving away valuable water rights

tomary republican majority.
WHEELING, W. Va, November 5.-The
close of the campaign marks one Of the
| most apathetic periods on record in politics
to rouse the voter. and light vote all over
the state is generally expected. Gov. Daw-
son claims the state will go republican by
the usual large ma ority and that every one
of the five congressional districts will go
republican. The democrats hope to carry
the second district. where Col. T. B. Davis,
democrat, won at the special election last
year. The legislature. now republican by
fifty-four on joint ballot, will probably be
republican by a decreased ma jority, insur-
ing the return of Stephen B. Elkins to
the Senate.
