Such an organization was never before seen in West Virginia, and the way the whole republican army was ret in motion by a single command was simply superb. It is understood that the only thing which held back the com- mand to go into action was the inability of Mr. | Elkins and the state leaders to demonstrate to | the satisfaction of the national committee that tix electoral votes were worth what it would cost to secure them. It was a difficult matter to show that West Virginia, as small as she is, held as strong a strategical position in the great national contest as she does. When once the true situation was forced through the skulls of the powers that be there was no further delay, and the local managers were assured that the price would be paid. UNUSUAL DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITY. ‘The above will give « fair iden of what the republicans are doing and the great effort that is being put forth to carry the state for Har- rison. On the other hand the democrats, while not «0 thoroughly organized nor #o plentifully supplied with the sinews of war, are thoroughly awake and are leaving no stone untarned, the turning of which may increase the possibility of success. Until very recently the democrats have felt, or at least have pretended to feel, that the state was safely democratic, although they have all along admitted that a hard fight would be necessary to overcome the effects of republican work. Within the past two weeks the leaders of the party have begun to admit that the case is doubtful, and that nothing but the greatest display of energy will retain for them West Virginia in the column of southern and democratic states. The activity of the re- publicans and a knowledge of their thorough organization has aroused the democracy as nothing el“e could, and from one end of the tate to the other the workers have been warned of the danger in which the party stands, and the necessity that exists for earnest and well directed work. From some source that is not made public the democratic committee hae secured quite afnir amount of funds and is much better prepared than it has been at any time during the campaign to offer battle to the republicans, Just how close the state is is shown by the Fhe republicans claim to bave made.» thor- 1 of the state and to have listed every lls that have been taken by both parties. voter in ft, and the figures given out privately for the benefit of those repnblicans who can be trusted are to the effect that they will have a plurality of between 1.500 and 2,000. While the democrats do not that their list has been as carefully taken, they do not claim more than 2,500 or 3,000 plurality. When the party polls ¥ 150,000 voters show no more difference than is exhibited in this wise poli cult to tell which way tion day.

Hite arrival was the signal for greatly increased ectivity. and republican representatives from ali over the state hastened to consult with him and to lay bare their plans and make clear the situation to him.

Another thing that acts asa strong incentive to Mr. Elkins in his political work im West Vi ginia is this: It has come to be generally un derstood that in 1888 the task of earrving West Virginia in 1592 was by general consentassigned to him by the nationsl comuaittee. If he sue- ceeds he will be the first maz play sufli- cient power as an org and political manipuiator to break the solid south. To do this would mean that nothing for which he might ask at the hands of the republican party in the future would be too good for him. It would raise him to the highest level politically, and since he has an ample fortune and has turned his attention aimost wholly to_ politics, that is naturally the ultima Thule of his asp rations. MARSHALS AT THE POLLS. The opinion of Attorney General Miller wi regard to the powers and privileges of United States marshals and their deputies has created some alarm among democrats in West Virginia. H, 8.

One noticeable feature of the campaign is the very small amount of money that has been wagered on the result in West Virginia. ‘The sports, who are influenced only by desire to win, have either placed their money on other issues or have hept it in their pockets. The few bets which hive been made have been among men who allowed their pactisan zeal to influence their judgment as gamblers. Since the arrival of Mr. Elkins in town there has been | considerably more republican money displayed among the sports, and it is charged by the democrats that most of it has been furnished by Elkins for the purpose of blufing stiffness into the republican backbone. It must be con fessed that in several instances where democrats have gone in search of republican wagers they have found the allegation that the bets had just been taken and that they were half an hour too late. CONFLICTING CLAIMS, Aside from general claims, unsupported by figures, none of the partisan newspapers have made any definite statement concerning what they expected the outcome tobe until yesterday, | when the Intelligencer of this city placed the republican plurality at 4,000. Mr. Elkins, the same day in a interview. positively asserted that the state contained 4,000 more republican voters than democratic, and that with a fair election the party would have that plurality. The Wheeling Register, the democratic organ of the state, has dey oted its attention entirely to mak- | ing votes, and has as yet offered no the result.

A Democratic State That Might Have Been Made Republican. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Mempuis, Texx., Nov. 5, 1892. ‘On the ove of the presidential election Ten- nense is to all appearances preparing to cast her electoral vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. Whatever may be the defections from the dem- ocratic party to the populists in the guberna- torial, congressional or legislative contests, one thing is evident: ‘There is no sort of enthusi- asm for Weaver and his vote in the state will be decidedly microscopic. Tennessce is one of the very few states that elected alliance govern- ors. The victory of Buchanan two years ago was taken to indicate that the alliance had swallowed the democratic party, and not that the democratic party had swallowed the alli- ance. But during these years the grip of the alliance has weakened, and Buchanan has been easily defeated in the primaries. Strange as it may seem, though the alliance and the people's party both aim at national “reforms” both are more touchy about state candidacies than about the presidential contest. I have heard quite a number of populista express the greatest edmi- ration for Mr. Cleveland, though they expected to vote for the populist candidates for gov- ernor, for Congress and for the legislature. The gold bug cry was raised against Cleveland for awhile, but we hear nothing of it now. THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK. + With regard to the congressional outlook, the republicans are reasonably sure of two Con- gressmen, and they may get three. The first district is « certainty for them, and there is no reason to think that John Houk will be de- feated in the second. Houk is the most hus- tling republican in Tennessee. When he was a candidate for the republican nomination a short time ago, his opponent was a wealthy man by the name of Woodruff. Houk is osten- tatiously a man of the people, while Woodruff lives in one of the palaces of Knoxville. Houk won the nomination in the easiest possible manner. He told mountaineers of the Great Smoky that Woodruff lived in a honse that had carpets on the floor and he had looking glasses inside as big as a barn door. Houk got the nomination by about 10,000 majority. In the third district there is apt to be a very pretty contest. Two years ago Con- gressmnan Snodgrass defeated H. Clay Evans by only 523 votes. This year is apt to bring out a much larger yote and Snodgrass may be de- feated, though the drift in east Tennessee in this year's elections has been rather toward the democracy. Rice A. Pierce, in the ninth dis- trict, will certainly be turned down. this time. He ran as a democrat two years ago and had « majority of more than 8,000. ‘This year he runs opulist and he will be defeated. In this district (the tenth) Col. Josiah Patterson, one of the few southern democrats who had the courage to stand out against the silver ex- tremists, is confronted solely by a populist can- didate. ‘the republican candidate, Col. Dycr, having been withdrawn in accordance with the deal between Chairman Baker, representing the republicans, and John H. McDowell, the leader of the Tennessee populist, Ido not see bow Patterson can be defeated by Neal, the popu- list, NEGROES WHO WILL NoT VOTE. There are about as many negroes as whites in this county (Shelby), the most populous in the state, yet the negro registration is only about 4,000, and it is not likely that more than 1,500 of these will have paid their poll tax. In Fay- ette coun: rt of this district, there are 2,200 negro voters, but only 400 of them have paid their poll tax. But for that little “if” in the shape ef poll tax there would not be the slightest doubt that Winstead, the republican nominee, would be the next governor of Ten- nestee. Four yeats ago Harrison got nearly 140,000 votes in this state, the largest vote ever cast for any candidate for any office before or since excep! that cast for Clevelandand the other jemocratic nominees in 188%, If Buchanan get 20,000 votes and if the conditions ars ago Turney, the tic nominee for governor, might be de- but there ean be no doubt that the poll tax, the registration and the Australian ballot law will keep more negroes at home. than ignorant whites, A DITTER FIGHT ON POPULISTS. ‘The democratic program has been exceed- ingly in discreet. The populist leaders and the alliance have been ecourged from pillar to post by a few hot-headed youngsters who are trying tolead the party. “A very bitter feeling” has been aroused, and it is very uncomfortable to be a populist ‘in some parts of Tennessee. It is just possible that the populist vote will be a It has so far been very quiet and ‘ ome very vocal on election day. I have made some investigations regarding the effect of the McDowell exposure on the populist mind. It will be remembered, doubtless, that several days ago the Kuoxville Tribune se- cured two letters purporting to have between Republican "Committeeman G. W. the Hil and Jo J. Ivins, editor of Knoxville Republican. In these letters it was intimated that McDowell had obtained $15,000 from the republican national committee or holding Buchanan on the track, and for helping the republicans and_populists to carry the state. Ido not find that the “exposure,” if such it be, has had any effect on the alliance people. Those who expected to vote the popu- Tist ticket stil expect to vote it. A REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY MISKED. It seems to me that the republicans as practi- cal politicians missed a great chance in this ate. With anything like efficient organization they could have registered the negro vote, and by pasing the poll taxes of the negroes have made a most formidable showing. They could | have secured great local advantage and they might even have deflected the state into the Harrison column, —_— ALABAMA, Alliance Men Said to Be Rapidly Return- | ing to the Democratic Party. | Correspondence of The Evening Star. Bruarxonam, ALa., November 5, 1892. ‘The wind up of the campaign in Alabama | has been full of interest. In fact the principal | oldest inhabitant says he has never | before seen politics in Alabama 80 treated as they have been during the | double campaign of 1892. The bitter fight for | the governorship stirred the state from center to circumference, and following in the heels of | the state election came a national campaign not | before equaled in bitterness in the state. The election will come as a good relief to the aver- age citizen whose business has suffered at the hands of polities and politicians, To sum up, both sides are very hopeful of ‘carrying Alabama. But the anti-democratic forces say that they could carry the state if— and hereby hangs their accustomed tale of »e—if they could only get an honest count and a free ballot.

In case of ite élection the third partyites would get six out of nine seate in Con- rem, while the electoral ticket would be enst Harrison in case Alabama’s vote was needed to elect him. * The rank and file of the alliance men were lod to believe that it was a third party ticket for Weaver straightout, and under that belief they supported it.” Gen. Weaver was at the conven- tion and he and Mra. Lense addressed it, but it isa noteworthy fact that the convention did not indorse Weaver or the 's party in the platform or otherwise. The alliance men, how- ever, were blinded and went home from the convention still believing that the Weaver ticket had been put up and that they were supportin, the people's party and not the repablicas When Magee in making 80 many pilgrim- ages to¥Alatama ff ough and the objects of his visits as well as his plane became known the alliance men woke up to the realization that they had been deceived. Then they realized that the Lakeview ticket was In reality a repub- lican ticket and at once began deserting it. Hundreds of them have returned to the demo- cratic party in every county in the state within the past week.. In fact, their sudden transformation did ‘not fully begin until this week, the occasion of Mr. Magee's third and last visit to Alabama. ° In Jefferson county M. M. Gwin, a prominent Kolb lender, a candidate on the Kolb ticket and an active worker in the Lakeview convention, only three days ago announced his intention to support Cleveland. C. C. Robbins and W. D. Groggans, two other alliance leaders, who were delegates to the Lakeview convention, have become imbued with the idea that Magee came to Alabama to buy up the farmers, and they have taken the stump for Cleveland. B. B. Ustick, secretary of the alliance and one of its most prominent leadere, a# well asa red-hot Kolb man, actually went to Kansas to make an investigation into the situation there. On his return he learned of Magec’s visit to Alabama and Ustick at once issued a circular addressed to his brother alliance men calling on them to support Cleveland. He said he had ascertained in Kanena that the people's party had gone to pieces and its remains were being controlled by the republicans, that Mrs, Lease was a fraud and is regarded as such at her home, and that all attempts of Pennsylvania republicans to buy Inbama was an insult to the people of this state. Many other prominent alliance men have come over to democracy. In fact it has been a regular ground swell for democracy in this particular. KOLB'S UTTERANCES, Capt. R. F. Kolb, late alliance candidate for governor, who has allied himself with the anti- democratic forces, hus just iseued a final appeal to the farmers and alliance men generally. It is very elaborate, reviewing the recent state mpaign and giving his version of how he was “defrauded of the governorship.” The address concludes as follows: “Under our form of government liberty can only be pre- served by the ballot or the bullet, The oppor- in November will perhaps be the last the ballot box, for if they (meaning the democrats) are allowed to carry the election by fraud they will exact such laws as will end the power of the whites and colored combined to defeat them. Then let us make the last effort at the ballot box before being forced to resort to arms, the remedy that has at last overthrown ail despotism.” These circulars have been scattered broad- cast all over the state and has caused a con- siderable stir. It is taken tomcan that Kolb wants war in Alabama if things don’t go to suit him in the coming election. However, it is clear that Capt. Kolb has lost much of his influence among the farmers of tho state. TROUMLE FEARED. It is not overdrawing the picture at all, thongh. to say that trouble is looked for on election day. In this county alone Sheriff Morrow has appointed over 500 special deputy sheriffs to be on duty around the polls and queil any disturbance that may arise, ‘The feeling aroused against the appointment of so many special deputy United States marshals, not only in the cities, but at town and country precine is likely to culminate at some of these places bloodshed. The firing of one pistol sot would precipitate a bloody riot, sure. ‘The fusionists are very active and in many places no doubt both sides will make efforts to capture the polls. The democrats in nearly every county have control of the state and county government, and none but democrats are being appointed on the special deputy sheriff lists. As only republicans are being ap- pointed as federal marshals a conflict between the opposing forces of officers is not unlikely. ~~ PROBABILITIES OF TROUBLE. The Attorney General's Instructions and Lieut. Gov, Sheehan’s Circular. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Hf New York, Nov. 6, 1892. Fither there is to be big trouble in New York ‘on election day or there is a tremendous lot of bluffing being done. As already ‘telegraphed ‘Tae Star, Chairman Shechan of the democratic campaign committee has instructed election officers and democrats generally that United ‘States marshals have no right inside the polling places and that any citizen or officer hag a right to arrest them if they attempt to go there. The supplementary orders issued by the Department of Justice have braced up United States District Attorney Mitchell, who has written United States Marshal Jacobus and Supervisor of Elec- tions Davenport to the effect that Sheehan's statements are entirely false and that the abso- lute duty of supervisors of elections is to take such position inside or ontaide of the polling piace as will give them the best opportunity to spect and closely scrutinize the operations during the entire day and during the count of the vote. INSTRUCTIONS TO SUPERVISORS. He quotes section 2019 of the Revised Statutes, as follows: “The better to enable the supervisors of elections to discharge their duties they are directed on the day of election to take. occupy and remain in such position from time to time, whether before or behind the Dallot boxes, ‘as will in their Judgment best enable them to see each person offering to vote and as will best conduce to their scrutiniz- ing the manner in which ths voting is being conducted.” Section 2018 is also quoted, as follows: “To the end that each candidate for the office of Representative or delegate in C may ob- tain the benefit of every vote for cast, the supervisors of election are, and each of them is, required to personally scrutinize, count and canvass each ballot in their election districts, whatever may be the indorsement on the ballot fd =e box it may be placed or be found.” District Attorney Mitchell adds: “You will also | sated inform all supervisors of elections and deputy marshals that the United States in- tends to carry out the provisions of section 2019 of the United States Revised Statutes and to see that every supervisor of election, and AUTHORITIES ARE WORKED UP. ‘This is “the word with the bark on.” It is evident that the United States authorities are thoroughly waked up on this subject, and that do not inten? to permit any “faplishness” seat the enfor.«ment of this iaw. What will be the result if wemocrats attempt, to prevent ipervisors of election taking their places the polling election morning to foreteli. is Hel £ Fy i i i H Ht | \ the democratic chairman to his home last night also carried to the Allany penitentiary for a three years’ term a democrat convicted of false registration only a few days since. THE DEMOCRATS ARE HOTS, On the other hand the democrats are par- tiealarly hot over the belief that Davenport in- tends to make a large numberof arresison elec- | tion day for alleged false registration, and have written him a letter calling’ hie attention to's | decision by the United States circuit court to the effect that it ix an offense within the United tionally lelays executil ‘& warrant for tl arrest of one charged with illegal registration, until election day, to nt his voting. A number of arrests are now bein; made drily by the republicans of men charged with false registration, and it is expected that many more will follow. All this makes the | democrats very hot, and there is no telling what may happen on election morning when the ea oe of elections i de- t to go inside ng and remain “duving the day, no they doubt. ese will do. HORSESMOEING AS AX ISSUE. One of the curiosities of the campaign isa bit of literature just issued by the literary bureau of the democratic national committee. It will be read with interest in Washington. It is as follows: ‘The various branches of the Journeyman Horseshooing Union throughout the United States, numbering over 8.000 men, have a direct grievence against President H. rison personally. Mr. Harrison keeps oniy two | horses and these he gets shod at a non-union | shop tosaves dollar and twenty-five cents on each set of shoes; while Mr. Cleveland, while Prosident, kept ten horses and had them shod | at a union shop, paying the union prices, €3.50. At a convention of the union, held in Boston in May last, delegates called attention to Presi- dent Harrison's patronage of non-union cheap Inbor and a resolution was unanimously adopted by the convention that the President bo respectfully requested to have his two horses shod at a union shop and pay living prices for the work.” The resolutlon pointed | out that Gen. Harrison, being President | of the United states, his example of having | work done at non-union pauper wages would | have a bad effect on the trade that employed | 8,000 workmen. A committee consisting of P. J. Conway of New York, Owen O'Neil of | Phila~ delphia and James Galiagher of Detroit were appointed to embody the request to President rrison. Mr. Thomas J. Griffin was appointed a delegate to present the request in an address to President Horrison, Mr. Griffin performed his duty, but President Harriton did not even deign a reply of any kind and still has his pair of horses shod at the ‘pauper-tabor’ non-union shop. Last night the Journeyman Horseshoeing Union, No. 1, of this city met and discussed this sub- Ject. “The opinion is expressed that Mr. Har- rison’s salary of $50,000 a year ought to be sufficient to enable him to union prices for keeping his two horses sh patel cohele INTERESTING CONTESTS, 80ME Winding Up Exciting Campaigns in a Num- ber of States, Presa dispatches ay: ‘The most exciting campaign in the history of Michigan is practically closed and the result of the active work that has been dono by the three parties will only be known when the vote is actually counted. All parties admit that the result will be a mixed one. The Miner law, providing for the selection of presidential elec- tors by congressional districts, makes the situ- ation unique, and, as Congressmen. and a state | legislature which which will have the naming | of United States Senator are to be elected, | the result will be all the more interesting.

The highest democratic vote was 213,469 in 1888. They must hold this and must gain 10,000 votes to carry the state. They donot claim that they can do this, but say they are sure of the second, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth districts. “The republicans claim the first, third, fourth, sixth, eloventh and twelfth districts, and insist that their chances are bet- ter than tho democrats in the fifth, eighth and ninth. Of the two clectors-at-large the repub- licans have the advantage in the western half of the stato and the democrats in the eastern half. On the whole, the republicans concede four electors to the democrat» and claim ten; the democrats concede six to the republicans and one to the people's party, reserving sevtn for themselves, The congressional delegation will be divided in about the same proportion as the electora. Judge Allen B. Morse, the democratic candi- date for governor, will’ give ex-Congressman John T. Rich a close race for governor.

It is pretty generally conceded by the leaders of both the old parties that Nevada will cast FUSION FAILS IN SOUTH DAKOTA. Fusion between the democrats and populists in South Dakota has failed. The democratic state central committee has sént out thousands of circulars requesting democrats to vote for the Weaver electors and withdrawing the Cleve- [land clectors from the field. This will un- don! make the result close between Har- Tison an: the former. It iv not believed that democrats general will vote for Weaver.

SOME POLIT What Some of the Great Dailies Say of the Outlook, The Philadelphia Zngquirer instructed corre- spondents in most of the states of the country to send conservative and impartial estimates of the political conditions. The Inquirer ea: “A careful reading of these reports will show that inthe opinion of our correspondents Har- rison and Reid will carry the country by a sub- stantial majority of the electoral college. They may. be mistaken, but it is noteworthy that their reports tally very closely with the esti- mates of the republican national committee. “We call attention to two things in these re- ports which Tuesday alone can decide. Our cor- respondents agree that there is a very good roxpect that the solid south will be broken. ware, Alabama, West Virginia and possibly nia are trembling in the balance. ely that at least one of these will bo republican and possibly more. _It is aleo noted that the western states seem to be weaned from the populist craze, and the prospect is that the only state that will cast its vote for Weaver will be Nevada, although the reports of yesterday indicate that the republicans have not aban- doned that sta “We wish to say to those of our readers who will peruse the bulletin boards and screens in frontof the Inquirer Tuesday night that it is hardly within the bounds of possibility that the republicans will lose the election if they carry New York, and also that the case is by no means hopeless even if that state is lost. If Harrison carries Indiana, Connecticut and all the other republican states he can win without New York. “The ss here given indicate that Har- rison will be elected, ‘and this ix in keeping with our reports irom New York, where the republican national committee is more sanguine than in 1888. Only the returns can tell whether our correspondents have correetly sized up the situation or not, A CLEVELAND VIEW, The Philadelphia Times thus describes the ontlook: “It seems reasonably certain that New York will vote for Cleveland. The demo- crats certainly expect it with absolute confi- dence, and ‘those best informed—such as Croker, Sheehan and Murphy—are most confi- dent and most freely wager their money. On the other side, the republicans fear that New York is lost, but are hoping almost against hope that between Davenport's heelers acting as deputy marehais and a coloseal corruption fund they may so obstruct voting in the cjty as to make the success of Harrison possible. ‘This is nearly or quite the exact situation in the | empire stato. “We regard it as beyond the range of prob- ability to re-elect Harrixon without the vote of New York, If he could carry New York he might not need its electoral vote. Republican success in thet state would be likely to make New England solid for Harrison, and the same influences would make Indiana probable for the republicans, with Illinois and all the disputed western states outside of Nevada certainly re- pubiiean. If Harrison shall lose New York, as now seems next to certain, Connecticut will pretty surely follow, and New Hampshire and and Rhode Island would be more than doubtful. “We adhere to the conviction frequently ex- ressed in these columns that the battle of ‘uesday next will give a decided and most likely an overwhelming victory to either Cleve- land or Harrison and carry ‘both branches of Congress with the new President.” “DEMOCRATS WITH CONFIDENCE.” The New York Times says: “With absolute confidence that the democratic issues and the democratic candidates will win a magnificent victory the democratic national managers will submit their canse to the people on Tuesday. With nervous relgnce on the power of money to corrupt voters and to debauch franchises the republican managers will send their canse to the people. That Cleveland and Stevenson will be elected was the opinion of every sensible man one met yesterday. The republicans were never so nervous. The democrats were never more confident. The republicans practically concede the thirty-six electoral votes of this state to Mr. Cleveland.”” INDICATES CLEVELAND'S ELECTION. The New York Herald correspondents in the different states have wired to the paper their views regarding the outlook. The Herald says: “The comprehensive forecast which precedes the detailed reports indicates the election of Air. Cleveland. ‘This review is written without flourish or ornament. It is not intended as a lever to influence the result, but as a clear and simple expianation of the investigations of impartial agents of this paper.” “HARRISON'S RE-ELECTION CERTAIN.” ‘The New York correspondent of the Phila- delphia Press telegraphs: “I think that Chair- man Carter is justified in the declaration that he made to me tonight that “Harrison's re-clee- tion is as certain as any political event can be in advance of its actual determination.’” Regarding Indiana the same cor ndent says: “But the republicans have a still better chance in Indiana and New York. From In- diana the reports coutinue to grow more favor- ... ‘The campaign there has been a quiet one, as it has been in New York, in that respect dif fering from four years ago, but it has been none the less effective. ere is ne doubt that President Harrison is just as strong there as he was four years ago, when he had 2.300 plurality. This year the third party will weaken the demo- crats, while the -oldier vote will be still more in favor of the republicans, “As to New Jersey, the democrats are by no means sure of that. Mr. Cleveland's appear- ance there after his declaration that he would not goon the stump isa democratic conces- sion of doubt about the state. The republicans feel certain of electing Kean governor, and Garrett A. Hobart, formerly chairman of the New Jersey state committee and now a member of the national committee, today said: | ‘While not claiming the clectoral vote, I think that the republicans have «fair chance of carrying the state, but I feel confident of electing Kean. “The democratic chances of carrying this state are based ona large increase in the ma- jority in New York city and Brooklyn. ‘There ic no probability of their getting over 60,000 in the city at the most und competent jndges put it at 55,000. A prominent ny man told me this afternoon that Mr. Croker's private figures were 60,000 for this city, 16,000 for Brooklyn and 3,500 for Queens, Richmond and. Suffolk, making 79,500 below the while he allowed the republicans only 75,000 above. ‘That would give the demoerats the stato by 4,500. Ex-Alderman ‘Tommy’ Shields, a ‘Tammany leader for many years, told me afternoon that the democratic majority in the state would be from 5,000 to 10,000. Hugh McLaughlin, the democratic boss in ; refused to make any prediction as to the vote in that city. This shows thatthe democrats expect the atate to be close. “The poll of the republican state committee, made up by county committees, shows @ re- publican ity ot 17.500 in the and that allows the democrats 60,000 in this’ city, which is more than they will get.
