Shunk is a good man, and I believe the others are well fitted for the Position.” The Commissioners nave decided to refer to tle commission the equipment of the fifth and eighth police precincts with electrical sigualing apparatus. There are two companies bidding to equip the precinct, aud the Com- missiouers are anxious to obtain the best pos- bible system, MONEY IN THE CAMPAIGN. Both Parties Complaining of a Lack of Needful Funds, There is a general cry from both parties that they are not getting any money for campaign purposes, but each charges that the other party is spending loads of money. The democrats deny in the most positive terms the statement made at republican head- quarters that they (the democrats) have sent large sums of money to certain close districts, The republicans complain that they have not been able to get money encugh to meet ordi- ary campaign expenses. They state that the manufacturers who aro benefited by the pass- age of tho McKinley bill regard that asa favor returned for what they contributed during the last presidential campaign and will not give any more money in consideration of the passage of that bill, ‘They cannot collect money on goods already delivered, they say, especially when the parties, $0 whom they ‘have been delivered ink they have already made the payments. They might raise money on the shipping bills if thoy could give positive promise that the subsidies would be granted at this session; but they arc unable to give such a promise for the reason that the party is nota unit in favor of subsidies. Mr. Cannon and a number of other republicans in the House oppose the proposi- tion. and it is not possible to satisfy the inter- ested parties that the bills will become law. Republicans assert that the democrats have been able to raise money by a promise that if they are successful at this election they will, with the assistance of republican Senators who opposed the McKinley bill (and who will regard a democratic victory as a repudiation of tho Measure by the *peovle), pass a low tariff measure during the next Congress, repealing the McKinley law, PENNSYLVANIA DOUBTFUL. Mr. Dalzell Thinks the Contest for Gov- ernor Will Be Close. A Star reporter met Representative Dalzell of Penusylvania today. Mr. Dalzell does not appear to be very confident of Mr. Delamater's election as governor. When asked what the political situation was he replicd, “Mixed.” “What will probably be the result?” Toe Sran man asked. “No man can say,” was the reply, “Tho question hangs in a balance. There is liable to be a smail majority either way.” In the congressional contest in the state he said he thought the republicans would hold their own. THE RULE OF FOUR HUNDRED. A Question Concerning It Which Affects District Estimates, The estimates of the Commissioners still re- main in statu quo, and it will be a day or so before they are mado public, An interesting matter has just developed in connection with the estimates, which knocks calculations all ‘to pieces, and until this is settled the figures cannot be finished. The decision of this ques- tion will be watched with interest by the saloon men of the city, for it affects them to a considerable exten, It is a known that the revenue from liquor licenses is quite a considerable amount. If the rule of the Commissioners, which was adopted last year, limiting the number of licenses to 400, is carried out the District revenues will suffer, Last year 692 retail liquor licenses were issued, bringing in a revenue of $69,200, If the num- Der of saloons are reduced to 400 the revenue will only be $40,000, or $29,200 less than it was last year.

Democrats and independents Assert That Delamater is Beaten. | Special Dispatch to Tae E-veNxtno STAR, Purtapetruta, Oct. 29,—It was said today by &n active and shrewd democratic observer that be didn’t think the leading politicians could tell anything about the election on Tuesday next in Pennsylvania, Another, a republican, declared that his party will surely win, and ded: “Nothing can prevent Delamater's uuccess except there be a land slide. I have carefully gone over the canvass and cannot see any trouble unless there be a tidal wave gainst us, Of courseI am not looking for that.” Some of the democratic managers are 80 cer- tain of the election of Pattison, the guberua torial candidate, that they are talking of 40 000 and 50,000 majority. The more conserva- tive are equally confident of success, but do not place their ~—s figures highe than from 10,000 to 20,000 majority. On the other ‘hand republican leader: when pressed for their estimates, sa; Delamater will not have less than 25,000 n jority, but it should be remembered that none of them will talk unless in confidence and with the distinct understanding they will not be From the above it will be seen that a delight- ful condition of uncertainty exists among pol cians of both the great parties. The excit ment hereabouts is somewhat exciting, but the fact that it is settling can be easily understood. All hands are down to hard work and of a character that is meant to be effective iu the last days of the campaign. FEELING AGAINST QUAY. Thero is no mistaking one fact, that there is strong feeling against Quay among the repub- licans, many of whom, to rebuke him and drive him from power, are bent upon defeating Del- amater, if that is at all possibie. Ail the stuff published against the gubernatorial candidates amounts to nothing. It is on ac- count of Quay they are against Delamater. Very many who will support Delamater would like tohave a shot at the Senator, but they can't bring their minds to see that the defeat of Delamater is the way to unload the former. CHAIRMAN KERR CONFIDENT. Noman could be more confident of success than Chairman Kerr of the democratic state committee. He is sincere in his utterances. Ho fully believes all he gays and any other observer cannot fail to realize that the gentleman is thoroughly honest in forecasting the result of the election. He is not the only sanguine man. Among the inde- — there are a number who give it out that the election of Pattison is beyond all ques- ion, James McManes, one of the old-time repub- lican bosses in this city, who hates Quay royally because the latter failed to properly recognize him in the distribution of federal patronage, is quietly working for the success of the democratic candidate for governor. He does not hesitate in saying he is opposed to Delamater. He declares the latter is not in the —_ and confidently predicts Pattison’s elec- tion, —__ DEMOCRATS LOSING GROUND. They Will Elect Hardly More Than Half of Ohio’s Congressmen. Special Dispatch to Tux Evenrxo Stan, Cotvmsvs, Onto, Oct. 29.—The Ohio con- gressional aspect bas changed greatly since the opening of the campaign, According to the gerrymander of last winter the democrats expected to elect sixteen of the twenty-one Congressmen, while the indications now are that the delegation will be divided almost equally between democrats and republicans, REVIEWING THE DISTRICTS. The recent extraordinary session of the legis- lature will affect in some degree at least sey- eral of the districts, and the factional fight which it precipitated will almost certainly defeat the democratic candidate in the first Cincin- nati district. A local fight in the twenty-first district, com- posed of # portion of the city of Cleveland, may elect the republican candidate In the sixth district the republicaas’ candi- date, J. H. Bingham, is supported by the Farm- ers’ Alliance, which will probably secure his election, The eighth district has given ex-Goy, Foster an excellent chance of election, and up in the Toledo district, where J. M. Ashley is the re publican candidate, that party stands a fai chance of winning because of their candidate's distinguished national reputation. All of the foregoing districts were conf- dently expected to go democratic until more recent events have caused a change of opinion, Lewis, republican, in the thirteenth,and Poor- man, republican, in the seventeenth, both dem- ccratic districts, also have @ fair fighting chance. NATIONAL INTEREST has centered in the campaign in the sixteenth district, where Hon, Wm. McKinley and John G.

Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the division of the Pacific, has submitted to the adjutant general his annual report concerning military officers within the division of the Pa- cific, He says that the tone and character of the service is most excellent and that no class or community of civilians can be found among whom fewer offenses are committed or who live more temperate, exemplary lives, Legislative enactment, he thinks, should pro- vide some system of more reasonable profes sional advancement, The artillery branch should be increased by at least two regimenta, and the same organization be given the infan= try that exists in the best armies of the world —namely, three-battalion organization. When officers have served without promotion fifteen years they should be advanced one grade, as ie done in certain of the lower staff grades, Gen. Miles says that the various methods re- sorted to to dimish desertion have not, to any considerable extent, done so. He believes, however, that we are approaching the solution robiem aud that the measures recently been suc- | adopted are a step in the right direction, He says that the army has hailed with de-~ E the length of enlisted service and the mentof the army ration. He believes that result from the of other suggestions heretofore made by such as the re-enlistment of honorably die- charged men for short terms, the examination after five years’ service of non-commissoned officers who desire to the grade of incre@&e of pay of u-commissioned officers.
