The congressional election is just about three weeks off, and in the fourth con- gressional district of Virginia the liveliest interest is felt as to the result. Mr. Wm. R. McKenney of this city ts the democratic candidate, and Mr, R. T. Thorp of Meck- lenburg county is his republican opponent. At the populist congressienal convention, held at Blackstone some weeks axo, Col. Thomas Goode was nominated as the con- gressicnal candidate of that party from this district, but he has since declined to accept the nomination, and therefore they have no candidate in the field. ‘The popu- lists wanted Maj. Mann Page to run as thelr candidate, but he positively refused to do so. The impression, far as can be jJearned, is that the “pops"'will have no can- didate, and the congressional race will therefore be between McKenney and Thorp, with the chances largely in favor of the former. IT am informed by persons from the different counties of the district that in case the populists put no cadidate in the field that fully 25 per cent of the negroes will stay cway from the polls and not vote. Mr. McKenney and Mr. Thorp are both making an active canvass, and almost every day each of them speaks somewhere in the dis- trict. Many of the meetings which have been addressed by Mr. McKenney have been largely attended by ladies. On Saturday he and State Senator William B. McIlwaine attended a grand democratic barbecue at ‘Trinity, in Dinwiddie county, where they spoke to a very large audience. Mr. Mc- Kenney and Mr. Thorp have only met in joint discussion twice during the campaign. Both are good speakers. Mr. McKenney is prominent young lawyer here with a large and lucrative practice.

WITH THE CAMPAIGNERS eet From a Staff Correspondent of The Evening Star. MANNINGTON, W. Va., October 15, 1884. This dispatch is to be a statement of the Political situation in Congressman William L. Wilson's district from the democratié point of view. The hectic flush of hope upon the democratic cheek will be por- trayed, the aims and aspirations of the party managers outlined, their fears re- vealed and an effort will be made to explain to the readers of The Star just how the campaign managers feel about the outcome of the November election. The republican outlook will form the basis of another chap- ter. It has been the purpose of the writer to endeavor to obtain a correct idea of the / situation, not by interviews with the lead- ers “for publication,” such as are innocently given for the good of the cause, when over- sanguine views are expressed to the press by politiciars, who put on rose-colored glasses for the occasion, but through plain, matter-of-fact talks with well-posted men, who consented for the time to lay aside dis- simulation and speak frankly. Ex-Gov. Fleming, Serator Camden, State Chairman McGraw and the many local managers are the sources of the information upon which the writer bases his statements, all of these gentlemen being at present engaged in furthering the interests of Congressman Wilson in the campaign, and working in this portion of the district. To Let No Man Escape. No better summary of the situation could be found than the statement of one of these men, who said: “We are working on the suppositicn that we cannot afford to lose one vote. We are claiming nothing except that Mr. Wilson will be re-elected, consequently, we refrain from venturing prophecies as to majorities.” The idea that every vote will be needed and that they cannot afford to let a single man get away is being thorough- ly impressed upon the boys, and a spirit of determination on their part is the fruit of it. Everywhere among the active workers in the carmpaign is evidenced the feeling that they have a hard fight before them, and that they must be up and doing in order to win it. The principal object of the campaigners now is to try to instill some of this spirit into the masses of the democracy, and that is just where the trouble is coming in. That state of being most dreaded by the poll- ticlan, apathy, exists to a marked degree in this district, and Is a source of worry to the managers. It would be too difficult to attempt to analyze the cause of the hy existing among the vote! but it would be apparent to even the most superficial ob- server that it does exist. It is said to be a hard matter to get the people out, to induce them to attend the meetings, although when they do come they can be warmed into en- thusiasm. The power of that same netic oratory which th-illed gale diences in the House of Representat ud held by its charm the attention of a solid House when William L. Wilson 2 is still potent and works its spell upon crude assemblag well as cultured. Mr. Wilson's Personal Popularity, It seems to be apparent from the. tone of the people that the personal popularity of Mr. Wilson will atone for a multitude 5f faults in the dem tie administration. There is no gainsaying the fact that he Is beloved by his pe with affect the admiration of a constituenc its statesman. Let no one b these plain country people, from the affairs, mM passing proud of tieve that ‘though remote centers of business and political re unaware of his rd in recent events. Somehow the knowledge of it has perc all these mountain hamlets, a well as raflroad towns, and if the common people do not understand ail the phases of the case they have an intuition of the truth that he has stood their fair champion of the cause for which they sent him to Congress six terms. Today he met a gath- ering of SW or 1,000 men, the majority of them from the surrounding country pre- einets, and the great shout of welcome that went up when he faced his audience had affection and loyalty in every note. To- night the local managers are raising their estimates of a democratic majority upon he strength of the turn-out. Something About the District. Mr. Wilson's district is an immens in point of area and contains fifteen large ecunties. It extends from the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry along the entire north- ern end of the State, sweeping northw ward and pushing close to the Ohio river. The shape of the district is liable to arouse the suspicion “that it has been gerryman- dered; in fact, that idea naturally suggests itself, The elements of population are as varied as the natural scenery of the differ- ent counties. The farmers are in the ma- jority; but there are 4,000 voters in the mining region, 1,340 in the lumber section and a considerable number representing men employed in the oll region and in vari- ous industrial pursuits. He has several large towns in his district, and the whole section Is thriving, busy and wide awake—a country whose industries are growing and expanding in every direction. Thus he has all sorts and conditions of men to whom to administer his democratic doctrines, There is an element inherent in the population waich furnishes a constant spawning ground for democracy, consisting of the old rock-ribbed democrats of the Virginia com- monwealth stock, who derived their de- mocracy from the Jeffersonian source direct and have infused it into each succeeding generation. On the other hand, constantly increasing offset to this element to be found in the new population, which is pouring In from Pennsylvania to develop the industries of the state. This is especial- ly noticeable in the oll belt. ‘The inajority of these people are republicans and come with their own ideas deeply rooted. In Mari- on county, it is sald, these newcomers have leavened the old loaf in a lively manner—so much 80, in fact, that the democrats will be glad to come out even on the vote in this county. How the Campaign is Waxed. With such a composite population it is easy to sce that there are great possibilities for overturning majorities and changing the political complexion of ccunties and towns. The campaign, therefore, is being conducted in a manner to suit the circumstances of the cas2, The fight is made on the tariff, on finances, the income tax, the general record of the party, or on whatever iifte may seem best suited for the particular locality and the interests involved. The democrats control a staff of able orators, and are making spellbinding a signal feat: ure of their campaign. No complaint is made cf scarcity of funds, and it is thought that liberal financial aid is being rendered.

The republicans appear to be on « still-hunt fer their game, saying little, making but few demonstrations, yet apparently there is am energetic movement under the surface. je democrats are in- clined to be worrfed about this crusade in the dark, as they call it, for they cannot believe there is that indifference to the out- come which the enemy, appears to simulate. What the Democrats Fe: The democratic mamagers are apprehen- sive of a hostile movement through the vote of the coal miners. This is the first time the question of a reduction in the tariff has been brought home to the miners, and there are grave doubts a3 to how they will re- celve Mr. Wilson's action upon that sched- ule. There are rumors of a strong combina- tion against Wilson by the coal operators, and son:e venture the prophecy that trouble is brewing in that direction, which will be precipitated at about the last moment. There is also some danger of populist gains, and although they would probably not be very large, they would doubtless be made at the expense of the democrats, and under the prevailing idea entertained by the best posted men of both sides that the majority, whether republican or democratic, will not be large, a defection of a few hundred would be greatly deplored. The Meet at Mannington. Congressman Wilson and Judge Mansur addressed a large audience here today, the attendance far exceeding that upon the oc- casion of the speech of ex-Secretary Elkins for the republicans last week. The local democrats are making capital out of the fact that Mr. Elkins campaigns in his private car, surrounded with luxury, while Mr. Wilson travels with the boys ‘In the smoker, and takes pot luck at the taverns. This is cited as an instance of “the man of the people as against the creature of corporations and monopolies.” Tomorrow Mr. Wilson makes his first appearance in the coal region, which same is expected to be a very interesting event. N.O.

RALEIGH, October 14, 1894, The fact appears to be admitted that the national republican committee is send- ing no funds to North Carolina for use in this campaign. Chairman Holton of the state committee said he did not propose to ask for a cent unless he saw a good prospect of success. The allegation is that the national committee made a close cal- culation Harrison about on this basis. The 188¥ vote for was 131,000, and in 1892. only 100,000, showing that of the vote the populists’forsWeaver in 1 34,000 was drawn ffom the republi- ty.

Dockery s he proposes to take an active part in the campaign, So much mixed are matters In the fusion ranks that neither the chairman of the pop- ulists nor the republicans can furnish a correct and complete list of the nominees of their respective parties for Congressmen, judges and soficitors. ‘The populists have in most cases indorsed the republican nom- inees for superior court judges and solici- tors; indeed, so far as your correspondent can discover they haye not to this date in- dorsed a single one of the men the demo- ts have put up for those positions, though they have talked ceaselessly about a -partisan judiciary” and declared their purpose to indorse with that end in view. Jt was said that the populists or perhaps the republicans wanted to get the name of Waiter ‘Clark off the supreme court ticket. Your ccrrespondent asked W. H. Worth, fusion nominee for state treasurer, if he thought this rumor was true; Mr. Worth said he did not. - Republicans Don’t Like It. Looking bebind the scenes a little your correspondent gets the idea that in their hearts the republicans have little real rel- ish for fusion. They appear to be half- hearted. The populists are far more en- thusiastic as to the new'cotfbination. They have been led on to this by Marion Butler, their state chairman, Fusign is his hobby. He has borne down any opposition. He is the dictator of populist péticy. There are many of the democrats who say that the fusion of their opponents is the very best thing for democratic success. There are others who say cadi@ly that they fear fusion. The latter are doing all they can to sow and premote discord. It is alleged by some of the republicans that the negro vote is the deciding one’ this year, and that the contest is as to who'shill get it. Popu- lists and republicans ate to a certain ex- tent suspicious of each‘othér. The populist work is being done mainly in the “back country,” a from the towns, and it is hard work, which is by the demo- crats, who know it ts s' done. A negro politician who was here a few Gays ago asserted that in only twelve out, of seventy-five counties had the negroes in- daysed fusion. But he is an “anti” and his statement must be taken with a grain of salt. Some independent republican tickets are being put up here and there in the counties and it is alleged that these will get a considerable negro vote. In the seventh district CAMPAIGNING IN OHIO Republicans Said to Be Anxious About Grosvenor’s District. FREE SILVER AND THE DEMOCRACY How Mr. Thurman Has Embarrassed Some of His Party. MR. OUTHWAITE’S CHANCES Correspondence of The Evening Star. * COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 14, 1894. It ts very evident that the republican state committee is afraid Congressman Chas. H. Grosvenor may be defeated in the eleventh district. All of the prominent republican speakers from outside the state that have been called into the Ohio campaign have been assigned for at ‘east one speech in Gen. Grosvenor's district, and some of them have given all the time they had to spend in this state to work there. Congressman Boulette of Maine, who comes here this week to make five speeches, will make four of them in the eleventh district. Ex-Gov- ernor Ira J. Chase of Indiana and Judge A. L. Morriscn of New Mexico, who are here making speeches in the Ohio campaign, will also go to Grosvenor’s district. This dis- trict was cut cut in the republican gerry- mandet to be a reliably republican one, and even in the great republican defeat two years ago was carried by the republicans by 2,651 votes. Last fall Governor McKin- ley carried it by 5,857 votes, so that it would seem that Grosvenor is safe enough this year, The district, however, embraces the heart of the great Hocking valley coal min- ing region, and has, it is estimated, about 6,000 miners who are voters. However these miners have voted in the past, it is pretty certain now that they will vote the straight populist ticket this year. If the democrats in the district had been shrewd enough to indorse the populist nominee—James A. Crawford—Grosyenor’s defeat would have been a foregone conclusion. As it stands, Crawford, the populist nominee, has a much better chance of being elected than E. R. Lash, the democratic candidate. With the normal republican plurality of at least 3,40 in his favor, the general dis- sension that exists among the democrats everywher€ and the opposition divided be- tween the populists and democrats, there does not seem to be on the face of the situation any reason why General Gros- venor should be uneasy about the election in his district. And yet he evidently is. He is probably now realizing the fact that by his very radical republicanism through ail his political life he has made it very easy for himself to make enemies and hard to win friends in the democratic party. Mr. Outhwaite’s Chances. The situation in the capital district seems to have turned against Mr. Outhwaite in the last week. He has always been able to draw to his support a large element of the republican party here that belongs to the business classes. His conservative course in Congress made it possible for these persons to support him, and business relations made it desirable for them to do so, A movement is now en foot in this city, however, to Secure the support of this element for D, K. Watson, Mr. Outhwaite’s opponent. A similar movement, on two oc- ions, has resulted in the’ election of David I’. Pugh to the common pleas bench |in this county on the republican. ticket, though the Gemocrats carried everything else. If Watson can carry this county by 500 votes he will be elected to Congress, for Fairfield, the other county of the distric cannot possibly give more than 400 demo. cratic plurality. The whole ‘situation considered, it now looks as though the congressional election here would be very close, with the chances slightly against Mr. Outhwaite. It is an- nounced, with apparent reliability, that the republican national congressional commit- d to come to Mr, Watson's aid y in this district. If this is s: then one disadvantage under which Watson would otherwise labor will be removed, tor, compared with Mr. Outhwaite, he is a poor man, The republicans of Ohio generally take an interest in the congressional cam- paign in the capital district, not only be- cause Mr. Outhwaite, the democratic can- didate, is prominent in the councils of his party, but because this is, for the time at least, the home of Governor McKinley. Hampered by Silver. Chairman Allen W. Thurman's free silver proclamation has put many of the demo- cratic candidates for Congress in a very embarrassing position. Tom Johnson and Mr, Outhwaite, after voting for the bill re- pealing the silver purchasing act, and put- ting themseives on record repeatedly as being opposed to the free coinage of silver, find themselves placed abruptly, and with ho opportunity for protest, upon a free silver platform. Anti-tree silver democrats and the aati-free silver press are swallo ing their indignation for the most part du ing the campaign. After the campaign is over there will be, no doubt, a very general and very free ex- pression of opinion by the democrats and cemocratic press opposed to free silver. The German democratic press in the state is not refraining now from expressing its dissatis- faction with Chairman Thurman's course, and the Westbote, the local German news- paper, is specially severe in its criticism of the free silver address issued by the demo- cratic state executive committee. Chairman Thurman has had an enormous number of copies of his free silver circular printed and forwarded them to the county ccmmittee chairmen for distribution as campaign Mterature. They have not found in every instance a warm welcome. Chair- man Byron Stilwell of the Hoimes county committee returned the whole shipment to Chairman Thurman, with the curt note that while the Holmes county democrats were mostly in favor of free silver, when the time came to advocate it, they thought the main issue was still the tariff question, and they proposed to fight that matter to a finish before taking up any other question. Mr. Thurman's View of It. In a talk before the Thurman Club last evening Chairman Thurman expressed him- self more fully upon the political outlook in Onio than he had done since he was placed in charge of the democratic campaign. The general apathy that was noted on the part of the democrats at the time the state con- vention was held, he said to the club, was disappearing. Almost befcre his committee wes organ- ized and prepared to receive them,the demo crats in the counties were sending in polls of their counties, which they bad maac on thelr own acccrd. These polls, which have row been received from a large number cf the counties, were to him very encouraging. He was reliably advised that the demo- cratic farmers of the state who had gone off to the populiets had generally returned to the old party since the state convention had put the free silver plank In the piat- form; so that if the democrats could hold their voters in line in the cities, and secure a full registration, there would be no rea- son to fear a defection from the old voting strength of the Ohio democracy. As to the congressional situation in the state he said there was no democratic candidate In any district suppesed to be democratic normally that was in any danger of defeat, except Mr. Johnson, in the twenty-first. This dis- trict, he explained, was in bad shape. The Cleveland Plain Dealer was opposing him, and a large element of the labor vote that went to him two years ago would not do so this time. He very much doubted Mr. Johnson’s election. Mr. Outhwatte, he said, would be returned to Congress with little trouble. Chairman Thurman said the only speakers who would be brought to this district dur- ing the campaign, so far as he then knew, were ex-Gov. Campbell and J. W. democratic candidate for governor of Colo- rado. This ccntradicts a story that has been current here for the last two weeks, to the effect that Senator Jones, who has recently left the republican party to join the popu- lists, would be invited to Ohio by Chair- man Thutrran, to speak in behalf i INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. 2 2 5 10 ory Ctr et eet ett tt (4 5 5 5 EDUCATIONAL . 9 EXCURSIONS .

My army service, my work in Congress, my seat in the state sen- ate, and the other features of my public career, together with my law practice, have consumed #0 many years that it would now be most to my taste to spend the remain- der of my life quietly with my family. Within the last several months, however, many of my friends throughout the state have manifested a very emphatic desire to have me become the next nominee of my farty for the governorship. So decided has been this sentiment that I could not pass it unheeded, and I now believe that if it con- tinues to exist until the proper time I will accede to the wishes of my friends. Of course, there is “no gubernatorial nomina- tion to be made this fall, and we cannot tell what changes may be wrought by another year, but, as I have stated, if the sentiment continues then as now I will be a candi- date.” Since he left the Speaker's chair Keifer had kept in close retirement at Springfield, taking no part in politics, and it was im- possible to get an interview with him upon political questions.

Bourke Cockran eulo- gized the administration of President Cleve- land and contended that protection is the cause cf the business and industrial depres- sion frem which the country is suffering. Mr. Cockran was loudly applauded at every, point, especially when he mentioned the names of Cleveland, Flower and Hiil. Applause was tumujtuous when the speaker appealed for religious tolerance.

The Campaign at White Heat—Weigh- ing the € cen. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., October 12, 1894 The campaign in Kansas is at white heat, and during the rext thirty days the republi- cans and populists will hold at least five hundred meetings in the state. The prairies will be ablaze with enthusiasm, and every country school house will be used for a neighborhood rally, and every voter will be visited to see if he has wavered under the pressure of the red-hot campaign which has been in progress during the past sixty days. If the election was held now the republi- cans would clect their state ticket. During the past two weeks accessions have been numerous to that party from former popu- lists. Everything depends upon the closing three weeks of the campaign. If the fervor ard enthusiasm which now prevails through- out the state for the republican ticket con- tinues the plurality over the populists may reach 40,000, It will require a landslide for the populists to win, and that is now con- sidered an Impossibilit ‘The fight is centered in the congressional and legislative districts. Within ten days a great change has been manifested in the first district, and unless the tide toward Judge Solomon is checked Congressman The republicans are making a desperate effort to defeat Jerry Simpson, but the chances are in his favor. Gov. McKinley was taken to Hutchinson, 250 miles, in Simpson's district, and he had a wonderful reception. Farmers traveled ii ¢ sists i i 5 lead
