A Prediction That Weaver Will Carry the State. Dexver, Cot., October 25, 1892. Correspondence of The Evening Star. For over twenty years the state of Colorado bas been in what our democratic friends call a ‘hopelessly republican condition.” At no | period in that time has there ever been the slightest chance of electing a democratic ticket. Enormous majorities received at successive } elections tended to make the opponents of re- | se publicanism faint hearted, and they went into each fight with that lack of enthusiasm born of | almost certain defeat, and, in fact, so confident were the republicans that they had a life lease ‘The Sun | have been in eleven different | the doubtful ' column, is | dy 20,000, and it is apparent | | to me that we have been gaining very rapidiy | nd have everywhere been greeted | side claims that the other is controlled by “thugs” and “gangs.” his phase of the con- test applies possibly to Denver more than to ‘promise | +P | tm a word, Harvard's Tepublican plurality was 15 in 1884, 147 in 1888 and 263 in boa.

Weaver men say that if they can carry all the states in which the chances now fayor them, and if Harrison loses New York and carries West Virginia they can dictate who will be Presidont. If Harrison will rush shrough a free coinage bill before the meeting of t electoral college the Weaver vote will go to him and elect him. The republicans,on the other hand,claim that they will carry the state by a slightly reduced majority. The vigor with which they make their assertions is not of that sort born of con- fidence in their cause. Serious defections from their ranks rendef this prophecy open to doubt. ‘The democrats have not afightingchance. The Rrobibitionists will not likely poll the vote they id in 1838, Weaver's strength and popularity in the west is undoubted and cannot be gainsaid, and the prediction is made in all honesty that he will carry Colorado. ———— MASSACHUSETTS, ‘The College Vote as a Factor in Bay State Politics. Conespondence of The Evening Star. Bosrox, October 29, 1892. Both parties in thisstatehave been making a big fight to secure the college vote. Massachusetts is, perhaps, the only state where this constitu- ency is a factor in politics. It has nine colleges for men and two, Wellesley and Smith, for women. There is Harvard, founded in 1836; Williams, founded in 1785; Amherst, in 1825; Holy Cross (Catholic), 1843; Tufts, 1850; Boston College (Catholic), 1868; Agricultural College, 1863; Boston University, 1869; Clark University, 1887. Some 5,000 students are gathered in all these institutions, but their number is small compared with the constantly increasing army of graduates whoxe political course is more or less influenced by the instructions they receive and by the traditions which govern their alma mater, MISSIONARY WORK IN THE COLLEGES. As the case stands today the faculties of tho New England colleges are largely democratic, while a majority of the men who send their sons to theta for instruction are republicans, | Distinct efforts are made by tho former to win | and by the latter to hold the allegiance of these | i i nel through ther | ¥ould result in lowering his wages to a level | plainer than that the democratic party intend, | young voters, who they argue will have much to do in shaping the political fortunes of the next generation. Missionary work in the col- leges, with rallies “and des, has therefore become a recognized part of the’ Massachusetts campaign. It was not very long ago that the teachers and professors of New England were, like its clergy, almost solidly republican. The entering wedge in the great educational schism which has now taken place seems to have come in the form of the text books on political economy. Many of these were of English origin, and even the American authors were, like Prof. Perry of Williams, influenced by English ideas. The dogma of free trade and that alone was taught in allof them. Twenty years ago there was hardly a college in the country that did not present the anomaly of a republican faculty teaching absolute free trade in their courses on political economy. The result was that stn- dents whose college expenses were paid with money their fathers earned or made in pro- tected industries were taught that all such money was unjustly levied. HARVEST OF FREE-TRADE SOWING. An indication of the harvest this free-trade sowing might bring was manifested in 1984, when so many Massachusetts republican dele- gates to Chicago returned to repudiate the nomination of Blaine. Just why so many of them turned to Cleveland with such enthusias- tic outbursts of personal adulation and what has been his charm for the average college pro- fessor since is one of those things which history will record as amystery, The fact remains that we have men whose ancestors have been distinguished for two centuries preferring the candidate whore name ten years ago was prac- encourag- | great business interests of New York, without | tically unknown to the one Who ix the descend- | ant of a President of the United States and of a | signer of the Declaration of Independence. We | \ | see men whore names are distinguished in lit- erature choosing the man who has neveraffected the graces of letters. We observe devoted teachers of the orthodox faith passing by a Presbyterian elder to indorse a man who has certainly never made any professions of per- sonal piety. There would be less mystery in their attitude if they were approving measures rather than men, but they distinctly deciare that they support Cleveland not because of his platform, but in spite of it, There is no higher tribute to the sterling qualities of ex-Prosident Cleveland than this Parely peryonel popularity which he enjoys ong the learned and eminent college profes- of New England. Prof. Shaler of Harvard suid today that nine out of every ten of Hat- vard’s faculty would vote for Cleveland. ‘Three- fourths of the faculty of Amherst’s College this week electrified the state by signing a public indorsement of the ex-President.

REPUBLICAN PROGRESS AT HARVARD. It is unfortunate for the democratic party that these earnest ambassadors which they have at the very court of collegiate education with the demo- en the free silver republicans went to | are not making the progress one might expect. | The fact is a majority of the students remain republicans, and since the republican party has made an effort to get their votes a marked in- crease has been noted. This is especially true of Harvard, despite the aggressive democracy of President Eliot. For eight years there has been a_ battle royal between President Eliot, Prof. Nort®n, Con- greseman Williams, Sherman’ Hoar, Josiah | been shaken to its core by an almost universal | Quincy, Mayor Mathews and others on the dem- sentiment in favor of the free comage of silver. | On every band during the early days of July, after the conventions, prominent republicans ‘severed party ties, and it was not done without thought, and started in on a new role to work | for the prosperity of their state. Democrats ceratic wide and their fellgw-alumni, Senator Hoar, ex-Gov. Long, Congressman Lodge, Ed- ward’ Everett Hale, Theodore Roosevelt’ and others equally eminent in the republican ranks. Lodge's retirement from the Harvard board of overseers in 1890 is an aspect of the struggle. This week, as has been stated, the storm center of college politics has been over Am- herst. The eighteen professors sct the ball relling by coming out with » strong indorse- ment for Cleveland over their own signatures. As they were a majority of the faculty and the democratic papers which printed the manifesto did not the head lines nor hesitate to make their own generalizations, » howl of indignation went up from the repub- lican undergraduates and alumni. The action was denounced as unprecedented, and a8 a gtoss misropresentation of the real politi- cal attitude of college. Poster was at A once gotten out, distributed to the students and townspeople. It was signed “The Ms- jority of the Students of Amherst College,” and said, among other things: We do most emphati- cally deplore the consummate lack of judg- ment which has led some of our professors to issue @ manifesto avowedly in opposition to the expromed sentiment of the college.

Rev. C. L. Woodwith, '45, wrote to the Amherst Record; H. P. Field, °80, pens an open letter to the offending Prof. Grovsnor and his ascociates. Some letters have appeared in the Boston press, Rev. L. H. Angier of Boston, class of '83, eighty-two years old, says: “If God didn’t en- dow those eighteen men upon whom the tower of Saloam, alias Tammany Hall, bas fallen with common gense enough to prevent them from becoming the allies of that notorious wigwam they never should have been appointed instruct- ors in Amherst College.” Charles F, Moree, class of 1853, in an_ open letter says: ‘‘As an alumnus of Amherst Collogo T feel grieved and disgraced by your action, and Tdoubt not nine-tenths of the alumni of the college have a similar feeling.” ‘By the way,” says anotheralumnus, “is it not time that the alumni took steps toward having the various chairs in political economy filled with stanch protection advocates?” | i | college, eays: ‘The prevailing opinion in Am- herst among the faculty and the undergrads is that most of the signers of the ‘appeal’ are ‘the viotims of a sharp political trick.

Ex-Mayor Goodwin admits, however, that re- publican success in the first district is by no means as certain as in the second.

Both the republican candi- dates were opposed to any change in the dis- position of this fund, and the democrats believe that the attitude of Speaker Capron and Lieut. Gov. Bull will have a depressing effect on the | farmers of the state, most of whom are repub- licans. The sepablican leaders, however, say that the manifesto was issued ‘by a few dis- gruntled members of their party and that it has fallen dead. But the democrats are basing their hope of success in the second district on something more substantial than any manifesto, however gimed. It is on the new public building in for which Congressman Page, as member of the committee from which such | bills emanated, asked an appropriation. The bill has been advanced toa sfage where, if the fostering hand of Mr. Page could still care for it, Woonsocket is likely to get itsnew post office. Here is something that a to all citizens of Woonsocket, whatever their party affiliations. They are told that if Mr. Capron were elected the bill would never advance further and the new building on which so many have eet their hearts would not be built until the republicans obtained a majority of the members of the House. That day, they take pains to argue, is slong way off. The moral is obvious: Send back Mr. Page and get the new building. ‘MR. PAGE'S EXPECTATIONS. Mr. Page says he also expects a good vote from the Point Judith part of his district, as he has been identified with the bill looking to the opening of the old beach at Point Judith and excavation of Salt pond. This would open a handy way of getting freights to and from Narragansett Pier and other parts of South county, thus saving much money to people in that part of the state. As to democratic chances in the first district, Col. Lapham says they are good, and he believes he will be re-clected. There were more independent voters in his district than in the other, and this increases uncertainty es to the result. If the money. which everybody is looking for daily, were kept out of the way, ‘and the Rhode Island “system” not employed, no democrat, he says, need be defeated in the state. To his mind there was less opposition to be overcome than the democrats met so success fally in the congressional election of 1890. ‘To look at tho shattered remnant of the pro- hibitory party in this state it is hard to believe | that Rhode Inland onlya few years ago adopted constitutional prohibition.

THE LABOR vorE. ‘The labor vote ig an uncertain and y-riable factor in this state. The republicans look for | the support of the wage workers on account of the specter of free trade which the revenue declarations of the democratic platform has conjured up. This vote went to the republi- cans last spring. The democrats state that there are very many mill-operators who are single tax men, who will prefer Clevelend to Harrison, The labor organizations are strong in Rhode Island, but they wield less political influence than would be expected, because many of the wageworkers identified with them are not qualified to vote. The campaign here is lessdemonstrative than any the oldest inhabitant recalls. The work ix aqniet one that will tell in the result on No- vember 8.

Next week, however, the republicans will attempt a big torchlight parade, but the real business will not begin until the oil to lubricate the ma- chinery of the ‘‘system” arrives. —ss NEW HAMPSHIRE. Candidate McKinney Appears to Be Con- fident of Carrying the State. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Coxconp, N. H., Oct. 29, 1892. It is the Australian ballot eystem to be used in New Hampshire for the first time at this election which clouds the prophetic vision of the political seers of the granite state. A grand “round-up” of all the democratic state com- mittee and the interested candidates occurred here Thursday, and after hours of work with pencils and paper the leaders found themselves still unable to say how the state would go. The republicans, it is true, do not seem to bave quite so much difficuity in figuring outa ma- Jority, but, perhaps, it is because they take counsel of their hopes rather than their knowl- edge. Congressman McKinney, the democratic can- didate for governor, was a member of the con- clave, and he was listened to with interest be- cause he had just completed a stumping tour of the state. WHAT MR, M'KINNEY Says. “The secret ballot,” he said, ‘bas been dis- cussed and explained in every town I have visited, The “universal opinion is that it will contribute to democratic success by developing a larger independent vote, especially in the manufacturing towns and cities where the re- publican party has been strong. “Perhaps the best evidence of the effect of the secret bailot can be guthered from the re- n opposition to it. The leaders de- express a desire to return to the old system of balloting. They admit that wherever the baliot has been tried the democrats have got the best of it, and they only hope that this state may prove an exception to the rule. “It is certain, however, that the republicans have plenty of money, and_ there are evidences in about every town that they are still relying upon boodle to carry the state for Harrison and a. ‘Yet I find even among those who have here- tofore been influenced in this way a disposition to exercise the right of suffrage in this election as free and unbought citizens. “The fact that representatives to the legisla- ture are this year to be elected by a plurality vote will tend to give the democrats the advan- tage in some towns and increase our strength in the next legislature.” “In a word, then, what is your opinion of the result in this state?” was asked. DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS. “I never saw the democrats so confident of success, while there is a manifestation of nerv- ousness and anxiety on the part of the republi- cans, Yet it must be admitted that so far as the canvase of our state is concerned the result is very uncertain. Prominent and well-in- formed republicans have admitted to me within a few days that they are all at sea with regard to what the result will be; that they cannot de- pend upon the canvass of the towns, not know- oo the voters will do with the Australian lot.” —_—_-.___. MICHIGAN, Claims by the Different Party Managers— ‘The Fight in the Congressional Districts. Corcespondence of The Evening Star. Graxp Rartps, Micu., Od@ 29, 1892. The confidence entertained by the average party manager, and even by those who are in the innermost circle, as to the results of the Michigan campaign is absolutely sublime. The republicans stoutly maintain that their entire state ticket will be elected, and that John T. Rich's plurality will be at the least calculation 15,000. ‘They base this calculation upon the election of °88,when Harrison received a plurality of 24,000. They donot look upon that election asa land when the voters find themselves in the voting booths alone with their God anda lead f neil and achance to honestly and secretly express their political convictions. The republican confidence is based on the belief that michigan isa republican state if the rote is full,as it joubtiess will be this year, and the democrats are full of hope because they can see nothing but victory before them, THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. In the congressional districts the respective Party managers agree upon one point only, and that is that Congressman Burrows will be re- elected. The democrats concede that point, but they do not concede anything else. They count on carrying the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth and tenth districts certainly, either for the straight party nomince or on combination with the populiste, and they look upon the sixth, ninth and eleventh. districts as probably democratic and upon the twelfth as possibly so. It will be seen by this that if jopes and expectations will help any the demo- | crate do not intend to iet very much get away from them. The republicans look at the situa- tion from an entirely different point of view, and their hopes are even more rosy hued that the democrats, Unlike the democrats, they Tefuse to concede a single Congressman. Ther count certainly upon carrying the second, third, fourth, sixth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth dis trieta and look upon the first, fifth, seventh, eighth and tenth not’ only’ possible but probably republican. In the first district the democrats are more or less dis- turbed by factional ‘they are hampered by having lost control of the city hall and its Patronnge and there ise defection among tbe ians, and upon these grounds the republicans hope for victory; but the demo- crate poiut to Detroit's normal majority in their favor of 3,000 to 5,000 and’ do not lose any sleep over the possibilities of losing the district. In the second district Jas, O'Donnell of Jackson is making a splendid campaign against Jas. 8. Gorman and has but little dis- satisfaction to contend against, but Gorman has the advantage of a wide acquaintance in the district, has a democratic plurality of 2,000 or 3,000 to bank on and his chances for election are better than those of Mr.O’Donnell, although there are two or three disagreeable rows among the brethren in various parts of the district, and especially at the Wayne count; end of it. Both parties claim the fourth, but with the populiste as allies and with George Yaple as tho candidate, the demce cratic hopes seem to have the best foundation. The fifth district fs linble to go’ either way on very slight provocations, but in marking the district as probable the republicans concede right. In the sixth district A. E. Cole, the populist congressional candidate, is making an energetic campaign and is cutting deep into the flemo- cratic pluralities. Byron G. Stout, the demo- cratic candidate, ie an old man has lost much of hiscampaigning capacities, and besides this he has some hard feelings among his con- stituents against him. D. D. Aitkins, the re- publican candidate, has a serious bolt in his own county against him and his home organ, the Flint Journal, is doing ail it can to defeat his aspirations. This district is doubtful, even a week before election. The democratic confidence in the seventh is well founded. Justin I. Whiting will be re- elected unless all signs fail. RELIGION IN THE CAMPAIGN. ters into the campaign. T. A. E, Weadock, democrat, is a Catholic and H. M. Youmans, third party, has the support of the Catholics and the A. P. A. have blacklisted both of them. These two districts are practi- cally the only ones in which the anti-Catholic clement will cut any figure, and the strength of this clement is as yet an ‘unknown quantity. W. 8, Linton, the republican candidate in the handsome plurality last spring and is confident that he can do it again this fall, and if he does he will be elected beyond question, as the rest of the district is decidedly republican in its tendencies, The democrats base their hopes upon Mr. Weadock’s popularity, his excellent record in Washington and reaction from the Tepublican enthusiasm of last spring. * ‘The ninth, with a populist candidate in the field, will elect republican John W. Mades, and the eleventh, even with the opposition united, is pretty surely republican, with a plurality of 4,000 to draw upon. ‘The twelfth’ district te marked “possible” by the democrats, and that is just about the size of their hopes, although the prospects are more favorable for the demo- crats than ever before. CLAIMS AS TO THE ELECTION. Upon electors, chosen by districts under the Miner law, there is more unanimity between the party managers. Both concede that the first, eighth and tenth will go democratic, and both also concede the third, ninth, eleventh and twelfth will be republican. Both claim the second and fourth. The republicans claim the the populists is accomplished at the last hour. ‘The democrats are sure of the sixth and seventh, while the republicans place them in the doubt ful column, ‘The democrats claim the elector- more as doubtful, while the democrats concede | the republicans five votes, hold one ax doubtful and claim the other nine, and nothing bnt the | election retarns will settle differences in opinion between them. In the legislative districts the republicans are hopeful of carrying both honse and senate, but do uot give any estimates, not exactly knowing how the numerous democtatic-populist combinations will affect the result. ‘The dems ccrats, with the populists as allies, have placed 100 members of the house. The democrats will cheerfully discount their claim by 15 or 20 per cent in consideration of asure thing, but will not lower theit estimates until the returns are in, —— VIRGINIA, The ‘Yhirs Party Weakening—Republican Conference at Mr. Mahone’s House. Correspondence of The Evening Ricumonp, Va., Cet. 29, 1892, ‘The political situation in Virginia is reaching tangible provortions.

Careful estimates are being made and thi: managers are no longer at sea as to the resultiaccording to their own figures. The result i; that the democrats are more hope- ful.

Thef realize the fact that Weaver was a heavy load to carry in Virginia, One of them said to Taz Stan correspondent that he never had any hopes of Weaver doing any big things in the south. That he was not the choice of the southern delegates to the Omaha convention, and that while be may aid Harrison in break: ing the solid south no one expected that he (Weaver) would carry a single southern state.

REPURLICAN CANDIDATES WITHDRAW, One by one the republican candidates for Congress in the ecverni divtriote in the state are | withdrawing in obedience to the order of | } hone and the national committee. Some of ambitious cand: y authorities for a whi! finally yield. The Inst one of these to surrender is Mr. SY. Gilliam of the fourth district, who was nom- inated by a convention composed of anti- Mahone republicans. In withdrawing Mr. Gilliam issues a circular letter “to the republi- cans of the fourth district,” in which he says in art: “Under the impulse of the feeling caused ¥ the receipt of the information of the action in recommending my withdrawal I felt inclined to reject it, but aince Thave been advised that this action was taken after « full bear- ing of my friends and anggested by the national anthoritics I feel as if I ought to follow their advice, throwing upon them the responsibility of whatever may flow from it. Closing the circular Mr. Gilliam says: “In concluding to take the action stated in the fore- going communication I deem it my duty to ear to you that in this district, with an admitted republican majority of about 8,000, I confi- dently believed that my party would have in the field at the November clection a candidate for Congress. Turge all of my friends to register and actively and earnestly support Harrison and Reid and on election day to work and vote for the republican electoral ticket.” A great deal of interest is centered upon « star chamber conference held by Mahone and his leaders at the former's reridence in Petera- burg. The conference wasn lengthy one and it is said the republican situation was gone over in detail. The only news which has crept out of this meeting is that Gen. Mahone instructed those present to not only work for Harrison and Reid, but the third party candidates for Con- gress also. ‘This means that the two parties are adhering to the fusion plan reported exclusively in Tue Stan at the beginning of the campaign.
