Calculating in thix most conservative way it is now claimed that the dangers of the | campaign have been avoided successfully, that Agreat many supposed dangers were merely imaginary and that already the victory is practi- cally won, It is stated that the Prosident himself has the utmost confidence and is calmly awaiting the announcement of the result without fear | of disappointment. Friends of the President figure out for him | an election without New York and count New York's vote in addition. They expect in the neighborhood of 270 votes for | Harrison in the electoral college. New| York, Indiana, Connecticut and West Virginia they regard as pretty safely republican and expect to lose nothing in the west except Nevada, though they concede that Colorado may possibly go against them. They are not counting on any southern states except West Virginia, but believe that there is a chance of their getting Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee. ‘They speak of it as a mere chance in these three states, ‘MR. CLARKSON'S FIGURE. A letter received from Mr. Clarkson this morning figures out 210 electoral votes as sure for Harrison to start with, and gives the demo- crats 165. He counts New York, Indiana, Con- necticut, West Virginia and Nevada as doubt- fal, with the chances in New York, Indiana and West Virginia favorable to Harrison, So aaeaendakesela WHAT IS SAID ON BOTH SIDES, No Very Great Amount of Confidence as to the General Result. There is any amount of political talk and tion or basis of calculation in any reports re- ceived. There are men in both parties who are depressed and think that “the other fellow” has the best of it, and there are many members of both parties who are claiming everything. ‘The Harrison stock seems to be up a little in the general drift of gossip, yet the democrats republicans, asa rule, are hopeful rather than confident and are talking about electing Harri- son without New York. ‘The democrats undoubtedly look upon their prospects of carrying New York as better ! those of being successful on the general result, There is very little fear on the part of the dem- ‘ney will lose any southern state, rginia, but they are anxious about Connecticut. THE WESTERN STATES, ‘The republicans have regained their confi- dence in the western states except Nevada and | Colorado, and do not now feel apprehensive about New Hampshire except as to one con- gressional district—that in which Baker is running. Information received from ex-Gov. Cheney gives assurance that New Hampshire | will be carried by the republicans and that Blair will be elected to the House. The gov- ernor thinks Harrison will carry New York and that he will have 223 votes—enough to elect— withont the empire state. ‘The indications appear to be that the repub- licens are more afraid of losing Indiana than | they are of losing New York and that they do not feel perfectly safe in either, though hope- ful in both. ‘The letter from Judge Gresham confirming the statement that he will vote for Cleveland and giving the reasons why it is believed will cost Mr. Harrison some votes in both Indiana and Illinois—more in the latter than in the forme: ‘The democrats hardly know whether or not to expect anything from Illinois. Their reason, based upon experience, tells. them that the; cannot afford to encourage any hope of carr; ing that state, yet they have a lingering feeling that the big registration in Chicago brought | out through their efforts may possibly give | them the state. | cessors. | Three prominent officials are understood to be candidates for the vacancies thus occa- stoned. They are Mr. C. C. Cole, the present United States district attorney for this District; Mr. J. B. Cotton of Maine and Mr. Wm. A. Maury of Virginia, both of whom are at present jin the Department of Justice as assistants to the Attorney General. Justice James isa republican, having been appointed from Ohio in 1879. Capt. Cole and Judge Cotton are republicans. Justice Montgomery is a democrat and the spirant for his vacated seat on the bench, udge Maury, is also a democrat, Judge Maury entered the Department of Justice in 1882, having been appointed by President | Arthur, his kinsman. Members of the bar expect that there will be a number of other aspirants for judicial honors besides those mentioned. Among those spoken of are ex-Representative McComas of Maryland, A SURPRISE To THE BAR. The announcement that Justice James had ber 1, was a matter of the utmost surprise to the members of the District bar, as well as to all others. It was also received with great re- gret. Judge James stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that he had but one reason for taking such a step—his advanced age. “I have been on the bench thirteen years,” explained his honor, ‘‘and I now feel that I should relin- quish the burdens of the office. It required a great effort on my part to do so, to sever the | pleasant relations which have existed between my associates on the bench and also those be- tween the membersof the barand myself, So it is with sincere regret that I felt impelled to resign. I shall continue to make this city my home, al- though I shall spend the coming winter in'the south. By my resignation I do not intend to cease work, for if I did not work I would die. My work, however, shall be confined to the writing upon legal subjects. As to who my successor will be I have not the remotest idea.” Indge James is a native of Ohio, and was ap- inted by President Hayes in July, 1879, to il the vacancy created by the death of Justice Humphreys, and his commission was dated September 10, 1879. udges Cox’ and Hagner are the only mem- bers of the present bench who are his seniors in point of service. | Previous to his appointment e had practiced law here for about fifteen years, and his appointment was considered » District one. SSS AN APOLOGY TO THE MINISTER. A Hawaiian Newspaper Makes M Inister Stevens, The last Pacific mail arriving at the Depart- ment of State included the local Hawaiian newspapers, which contain the attacke upon United States Minister Stevens and Consul General Severance that were finally the subject of official protest by the minister. ‘The principal offender appears to have been the Daily Bulletin of Honolulu, which pub- lished several contributed articles bitterly criticising the United States minister and the consul general for failure to act promptly in the matter of seeking the lost boat's crew of the wrecked American ship Wm. A. Campbell. After these attacks had continued foma few days the minister called upon the queen and officia'ly protested against such criticism of the conduct of the representative of a foreign gov- ernment acting in his official capacity. The queen referred the matter to her attor- ney gencral and the next day, October 8, the Bulletin published a most complete apology under the beading “An Amende Honorable.” The paper excused itself on the ground that was not responsible for the opinion of its cor- respondents. That was the status of affairs when the mail closed, and whether Minister Stevens will allow the matter to rest there is not yet known at the department, ms GOLD AND SILVER COINAGE. Amends to The Annual Keport of the Director of the Mint. Mr. E. 0. Leech, the director of the mint, has submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury a report on the operations of the mints and assay offices of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1892. NOT MUCH BETTING. | The confidence on each side in the result is| not strong enough to lead to very much bet- | ting. The oldest and best informed politicians | that they find it difficult to} any opinion of the situation which | they would care toexpress. The discussion | gene drops down to conservative lines, | with the doubt to be settled by the votes of | New York aud Indiana. | Senator Morgan said today that it was all | nonsense to talk of the vote of Alabama going to either Harrison or Weaver, and that all the southern states would «urely be carried by Cleveland. Senator Cameron said that | he did not feel like expressing — an opinion as to the possible result of the election, and that he was just waiting to see what would happen. A dispatch received today from # nent democratic source in New York | veland now, but that there is not so much | known about other states, ———— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THE CANAL COMPANY AND ROCK CREEK.
