A very important letter was received here today from one of the most active republicans in Pennsylvania, who, a9 « general thing, is conservative in his conclusions. He says that while there ie no denying | the result in the state most of the friends ou! side misinterpret its probable effect. In the Philadelphia and Allegheny, and there is no disputing the surprises that will occur both those sections. While the influences from those two points may be felt elsewhere in the state the rural vote iu the back coun- | ties will largely, if not sutticiently, compensate for losses in the larger cities, and by this | means save the state ticket. He believes the republicans will lose one or two members of Congress, with a reduced majority in the logis- lature. BOWDEN AND LANGSTON, Both Belleved to Have a Chance of Being Re-Klected.

Mayor Grant’s Second Demand for a Recount—It Differs From the First. Mayor Grant will probably find that he has made another blunder in the matter of de- manding a recount of New York city. The evidence he has sent to prove that the count by the federal cousus was incorrect presents the demand for a recount in an entirely differ- ont form from that it bore when appealed from the superintendent of the census, and it is not improbable that Secretary Noble will inform Mayor Grant that the evidence should have been sent to the superintendent of the census instead of to him (the Secretary). The case comes before the Secretary upon an appeal from the superintendents decision, which was made when no evidence of an in- correct count had been submitted. The Secretary decided the case as it came to Lim, and it is reasonable to suppose that he may decide that he is not warranted in taking up the case m # now form, in which the superintendent has not hada chance to con- sider it, A goutleman who is familiar with the cuse suid to a Stan reporter today that if Mayor Grant wanted to base bis demand upon any evidence he might have he should make the application and submit the evidence to the superintendent of the censu sand if he decided against the recount the case might then be ap- ealod to the Secretary. There is no likeii- hood that New York will get a recount. SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS, Leading Democrats Who Favor the Election of Coleman and Ewart. It is understood that democratic leaders, eepecially northern democrats, aré urging thi democracy of Mr. Coleman's district in Louis' ana and of Ewart'’s district in North Carolina to let these two republicans be returned to Con- gress. The reason for this is that they both voted against the clection bill and were fair representatives of their people. It is argued that the return of these men would be a refutation of the charge that no re- publican, however able and respectable a man he may be, can expect any political prefer- ment from the south, Both Ewart and Cole- man had the respect of their democratic col- leagues in the House and were generally re- garded as the ablest republicans that have been sent from the far south; and it is urged that their defeat would be pointed to as an evi- dence of intolerance. COMMITTEE HEADQUARTERS. The Work Practically Finished and the Rooms Will Be Closed, The campaign is practically over, so far, at any rate, as the two Congressional headquar- ters in this vity areconcerned, Both headquar- ters have now censed, practically, the shipment of documents and are resting on their laurels or rather on the hopes of laurels to be gained next Tuesday, For months the rooms of the two committees have been crowded with documents of all sorts in process of distribution to an anxious com- munity, Now, however, there are not enough documents left at eithor place te furnish read- ing matter for a single Ohio voter. They have all been shipped, and presumably the in- dustrious granger is burning midnight oil pouring over the transgressions of McKinley or the imiquities of Carlisle. The documents having ull been sent there only remained for the active workers here to sce that the em- ployes were paid off and then hie themselves aftér the documents and go home to vote. The two headquarters by tomorrow will be pretty well cleaned out of managers and tonight the republican headquarters will be closed for the first time m many moons. FIFTEENTH STREET CHURCH, The Congregation’s Action Puts the Church on the Market. An important adjourned meeting of the con- gregation of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church opposite McPherson Square was held last night, Mr. Aaron Russell in the chair and William Montague secretary. After prayer by Elder Meriwether Dr. Shadd was elected per- manent chairman and Mr. Montague perma- nent secretary. The secretary read a letter from the pastor,Dr. Grimke, who was absent on account of sickness, wherein the congregation's attention was called to the necessity of repairing the church or disposing of the present church ty and building elsewhere. A resoiu- Hom, adopted by the joint board of elders and trustees, was read recommending the expen- diture of several hundred doilars to obtain additional light and ventilation for the audi- Iso empowering auid joint committee bids for the sale of the church pro; y, and when, in their judgment, a suitab! offer is received to submit the same for ap- TWO CENTS, COL.

In order to reach that number, how- ‘This fact gives the democrats some hopes of | ever, he includes in his estimate all the dis- | Mahone refusing to support his tricts save two where the republic: best fighiing chance. ‘the six?) wuere Ei them, the vepu . wed by the the iret disities. whet cits of (ise p the republictus. ave demucratic majorit up to within the past few wecks have been oe to be sure things for that party. The lows of the first district is due to the recont trouble in the municipal effairs of Ciacinnati, which culminated in the extra legislative wos- sion. Among the other districts claimed by Col. Brice are the Cleveland district, the Toledo district, the eighth, where ex-Gov, Foster is a candidate, and the sixteenth, where Mckinley iwa candidate. THE BRICE CLAIMS DISPUTED. Senator Sherman, who bas receutly been in the eighth and sixteenth districts, says that Foster will be elected and that McKinley's chances are extremely good. Close observers say that Gen, Ashley will pull through in the Toledo district, and in the Cleveland district Johnson, democrat, will lose a large vote be- cause of his Henry George theorics. The republican state committee think that Burton, republican, will be elocted there. The indica- tions at present are that the next Ohio cor gressional delegation will be divided very nearly equally between the two parties, WILL ALL BE IN LINE. Maryland Domocrats Will Not Bolt This Fall. Special Dispatch to Tax Evesixe Stan. Baxriwone, Oct, 31.—The independent demo- crat, whose overworked lungs have been “whooping it up” for the last fifteen years, is anullity in this campaign so far as his voice is concerned, But he is still in the flesh and his vote has returned to its firstlove. This is so not that he hates the machine less, but the G. O.P. more. INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS IN LINE. The independent democrats in Baitimore who, under the lead of Mr. John K. Cowen, have fought the regular party organization so vigorously and so persistently, have uo distinct organization of their own this year, but will support the democratic candidates because of their bitter opposition to the force bill, the McKinley bill, the course of Speaker Reed and what they call the flagraut violation of civil ervice rules and the general character of the administration, ic! is obnoxious to them. These things have had a wonder- fully solidifying effect on the democrats and there will be no scratching done by thew. Many of these democrats who have been most actively identified with the independent move- ments are men who have come here from Vir- ginia and other points further south. Some of them are ex-coutederates and the sons of ex- confederates, and any attempted interference with local self goverrment im the southern states is quickly resenten by them. They are honest in their convictions that municipal state politics can and should be divorced from national politics. But notwithstanding all this it is altogether likely that the independent democrat will bob ee again in the general election next fall. THE CHIEF POINTS OF INTEREST. The fifth and the sixth districts are the chief points of interest in the campaign. The repub- licans ridicule the possibility of democratic success in either, but there is no doubt tl Compton's chances are fur better than Mudd’s in the fifth, It 1s almost safe to say he will be elected, and the democrats consider bis elec- tion as beyond all doubt. The result depends wholly upon the seventeenth ward of Baltimore city, which has heretofore been the democratic stronghold of the district. Of late years the democratic majorities there ‘have been falling off, and to offset this the legisla- ture transferred all the republican precincts to sate democratic districts, But there is now a democratic loca) factional fight there, which may or may not affect the congressional ticket, The ward will certainly give a democratic ma- jority, Lut the result is dependent upon the size of the majority. Mr. Compton will un- doubtediy gain in the counties by the new reg- istration law, IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT. The democrats are now claiming positively that they will elect Gen. McKaig in the sixth district over Hon. Louis E. McComas and the reports from that district show that there is considerable basis for these claims. They have been very hopeful of success there all the time, but this is the first time they have made any positive claim to carrying the district. At lemocratic headquarters his election is now claimed by 75 majority, The only county in the district of which McKaig iw assured is Montgomery and all depends on how much majority the democrats can get out there and how low they can keep the republican majori- ties down in the other counties. They have pledged Montgomery for 500 majority, and pos- sibly 600, but this “is probably an excessive estimate. It is still nafe to indicate McComas’ election, but by @ very narrow margin. Ifthe demorratscan get the majority they claim in Montgomery, carry Frederick by fifty majority and keep McComas down in the other counties they can beat him. Frederick is not likely to give more than fifty majority either way, but will probably go republican, LAST NIGAT'S MEETING, Gen. Cyrus M.
