14 _ THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1894-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. — ALL THE COUNTRY OVER. REVIEW OF THE CAMPAIGN IN EVERY STATE. Great Changes to Be Made in the House of Representatives. Never before has a campaign, not oc- curring in a year when there was a presi- dential contest, excited such keen interest among the students of politics as the one which will close with the elections next Tuesday. The results are awaited anxiously by party leaders, for it is generally felt that they will foreshadow the verdict to be given at the polls at the presidential elec- tien two years hence. Aside from this im- portance of the election as indicating the Arift of the political sentiment of the coun- try, its immediate effect may be of great moment, for the democratic supremacy in Congress is threatened. The most conser- vative figures made up from reports re- ceived indicate that the great democratic majority in the House will be almost com- pletely wiped out. Some figure out that the populists, with ten or a dozen members, will hold the balance of power in the House, while*sanguine republicans predict, with a show of confidence, that they will have a majority of Representatives in the new House. All the figures are so close, even those put forth by party managers, as to make the situation interesting and critical. In some of the States, and especially in New York, there are features of the state elections attracting much attention, but, generally, the result of the congressional election is the thing around which interest centers. Recognizing the unusual importance of the elections, The Star at the opening of the campaign commissioned trustworthy correspondents at every important point to supply its readers with the most reliable information that could be obtained bearing vpon the political probabilities, and in ad- dition,sent out to the most important points members of ‘ts staff to make a thorough investigation of the facts affecting the situ- ation. As a result, Star readers have had epread before them from day to day com- plete reviews of all that was interesting and important in the campaign in different parts of the country. These reviews have been the more valuable, for they have been made from a non-partisan point of view, correspondents having been instructed to give, without political bias, a true account of the situation. ‘The following review of the campaign in every state of the Union is based largely upon the informetion furnished by The Star's correspondents: Both parties are, of course, claiming the House, but the claims of partisan commit- tees are not to be accepted as correctly rep- resenting the situation. A careful study of the conditicns in the light of the best avail- able information indicates that the demo- rats will probably have more Representa- tives than the republicans, but it is doubt- ful that they will have more than a bare majority in the House. A very conservative estimate gives the democrats 179, the re- Ppublicans 167, and the populists 10 Repre- fentatives in the House. It will be seen that a loss of a single democratic member in this estimate would deprive the democ- racy of the control of the House. Heavy republican gains are indicated in various sections, and in a tidal-wave year the best calculators may go wrong in attempting to figure out the bounds which the tide will reach. With that fact in view the repub- leans have reason to hope that the tide feay rise so high as to wipe out the demo- cratic majority in the House. . _ Alabama. ‘The governor and lecisiature have been elected, the democrats carrying the state.

In this state there have been combiaatlons between the populists, republicans and Kolbites against the democrats. In three dis- tricts the anti-democratic nominees a: straight vut republicans, whom the pop lists ard Jeffersoniars o> Kolbites have in- dorsed in their district conventions and agreed to support. In the remaining dis- tricts, except the sixth, the opponents of democracy ure populists or Kolbites, who have the indorsement of the republican con- ventions. The democrats confidently claim all the districts, but the opposition assert that they will carry three, and the situa- tion in these three is so involved that no one can confidently predfet the result. This is one of the southern states where the doe- trine of protection has gained a foothold in recent years by reason of the development of the iron industries and coal resources, leading the republicans to hope for a break in the solid south.

In the state of the state administration is the issue. The probabliities are that the congressional election will return four republicans. There is a chance that one of the other three members elected will be a populist. It is Probable that Hilborn, republican, will be elected in the third district in the place of English, who now holds the seat, and that @ republican will be elected in the place of Representative Cannon, the populist-demo- crat, now representing the sixth district. Colorado. Colorado will elect all its state officers and the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator to succeed Edward O. Wolcott, republican. The people will vote upon two proposed amendments to the constitution of the state. The vote of Col- orado for President in. 4892 was: Demo- crat-populist fusion, 53,584; republican, 38,620; prohibition, 1,687. The congressional candidates are: First District. Second District. J. T. Bottom, Dem. T. M. Bowen, Rep. J. A. Shafroth, Rep. G. O. Pierce, Ind. H. R. Rhodesy Pro. John C. Bell, Pop. Lafe Pence, Pop. W. A. Rice, Pro. Owing to a split among the democrats, there is thought to be no chance of a mem- ber of that party being elected to Congress from this state. One faction of the demo- crats, known as the “White Wings,” is opposed to free silver, and so cannot draw much strength. But it is estimated that they may take about 2,000 votes from Pence and Bell in each of the districts, thus mak- ing the fight extremely close. It is thought that without this split, and with the popu- lists indorsed, as this year, by the regular democrats, the former would have more than an even chance of election. The fight, therefore, is between the populists and the republicans, with the probabilities some- what In favor of the former. It is said the legislature is more than likely to be con- trolled by the populists, with more than a majority of the votes opposing the republl- cans, and in such an event there will be a populist successor to Senator Wolcott. Connecticut. Connecticut will elect its state officers and the legislature. The vote for President in 1892 was: Democratic, 82,380; republican, 77,013; prohibition, 3,990. ‘The congressional candidates are: First District. ‘Third District. Lewis Sperry, Dem. ©. O.

In this state, now represented in Con- gress by three democrats and one republl- can, there is said to be no certainty of the democrats carrying any of the districts, and they feel hopeful of but one. The cam- paign has been waged upon tariff lines strictly, and there is a factional fight among the democrats in Lewis Sperry's district over the tariff. It ip possible that Pigott, democret, may be re-elected. Delaware. Deiaware will elect its governor and the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator to succeed Anthony Hig- gins, republican. The people will also vote upon the question of holding a convention to revise the constitution of the state. The vote of Delaware for President in 1892 was: Democratic, 18,581; republican, 18,077; pro- hibition, 516. The congressional candidates are: S. Bancroft, jr., Dem. C. Beadenkopf, Pop. J. 8. Willis, Rep. W. W. Bullock, Pro. The democrats feel hopeful of carrying the state, although a vigorous campaign ts being waged by the republicans in the northern s@ction, which is the manufactur- ing region. The senatorial fight is an tm- portant feature of the campaign. The fact that Delaware's one Congressman would wield as much influence as a majority of the New York congressional deiegation in case the election of President should be thrown into the House of Representatives makes the election of importance. Florida. In this state the election will be for Con- gress, as the next state election does not occur until November, 1897. The vote for President in 1892 was: Democratic, 30,143; populist, 4,843; prohibition, 570. The con- gressional candidates are: First District. Second District. S.M. Sparkman,Dem.C_ M. Cooper, Dem. D. L. McKinnon,Pop.M. Atkinson, Pop. In Florida there are no unusually inter- esting features of the coming campaign, and well-informed persons practically con- cede the election to the democrats. Georgia. “The state election in Georgia was held early in October, the democrats carrying the State. The election showed large popu- list gains, however, which fact has em- boldened the populists to claim several con- gressional districts. The vote for President in 1892 was: Democratic, 129,386; republi- can, 48,305; populist, 42,939; scattering, 3,351. The congressional candidates are: First District. Seventh District. R. E.

The assumption is that democrats will be elected in all of the 11 Georgia districts, but a very hard fight is being made by the populists in the fourth, represented by Mr. Moses, in the ninth, represented by Mr. Tate, and in the tenth, represented by Mr. Black. Of these Black’ seems to be most in danger. ‘The democrats realized their dan- ger in these districts very eariy in. the campaign, however, and extra efforts have been made,not only by the local politicians, but by the congressional committee, to maintain the solid delegation of Georgia. ‘The man who Is threatening Mr. Black 1s the impetuous populist, Tom Watson. Idaho. Idaho will elect its state officers and the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator to succeed George L. Shoup, republican. The vote of Idaho for Presi- dent in 1892 was: Democratic-populist fu- sion, 10,5: republican, 8,590; prohibition, 288. The congressional candidates are: J.M.Ballentine, Dem. Edgar Wilson, Rep. James Gunn, Pop. Idaho has but one Representative, Mr. Sweet, a republican, who is now a candi- date for the Senate. While it is a republi- can state, there is a peculiar complication which makes the congressional elections doubtful. In the opinion of some of the best infermed republicans there is proba- bility that a democrat may be elected. In the first place, the silver question operates to take the republicans of that state out athy with the eastern republicans ‘ol the party at large, while the contest over the senatorship, which is ex- tremely complicated—three regublicans seek- ing the place—involves the possibility of general republican def in the state. The outlook in Idaho is, indeed, very mixed, and the race may go either to the populists, democrats or republicans, for the fight Is wheily three-cornered, with the chances about even for any one of the three. Hlinots, Illinois will elect minor state officers, one- half its state senate and all its assembly. The legislature will chogse a United States Senator as successor of Shelby M. Cullom, republican. The people will also vote upon @ proposed amendment to the constitution of the state directing the legislature to enact laws regulating contracts between corporations and their employes. The vote of the state for President in 1502 was: Dem- ocratic, 426,281; republican, 890,288; popu- Ust, 22,207; prohibition, 25,870. The vote for governor in 1802 was: Democratic, 425,- 497; republican, 402,659; populist, 20,108; prohibition, 24,684. ‘The congressional candidates are: First District. Twelfth District.

The popu- list party is just about strong enough to introduce into the equation a factor the precise value of which is hard to estimate, but which may prove Just the deciding ele- ment in its effect upon the general result. It is said the republicans would have to carry the state by 45,000 clear majority to control the legislature, owing to the fact that the state has ‘been reapportioned against them. The indications are that the republicans will have more members in the state legis- lature than the democrats, but it is by no means certain that they will have a ma- jority. The populists undoubtedly will se- cure a representation stronger than at the last session. The congressional districts 4 are hard to estimate. It looks now as if the republicans gain four Congressmen from Ilinols. There is only one district in which the populists appear to have a fight- ing chance for Congress. John Z. White has a show to be elected from one of the Chicago districts. There is said to be grave possibility of Wm. M. Springer being de- feated for Congress. Indiana. Indiana will elect state officers, except governor and Heutenant governor, together with the legislature. The vote of Indiana for President in 1892 was: Democratie, 262,817; republican, 256,335; populist, 22,198; prohibition, 13,044, The congressional candidates are: a, Eitst, Distric Eighth District. .

The situation there was regarded by them as extremely unsatis- factory in the beginning and it was count- ed as probable that the first, eighth, tenth and eleventh districts would be lost to the republicans. In addition to this the republi- cans claimed the defeat of Holman and Bynum in the fourth and seventh districts and hoped to elect a republican in the place of Mr. Conn, in the thirteenth. As the campaign has’ progressed the demo- crats have become more confident and claim now, that they will not lose any of the eleven’ districts they at present hold. This is regarded by conservative observers as an oversanguine claim. Bynum’s dis- trict is in great doubt, as are the first and tenth districts, and @ conservative esti- mate gives the democrats seven or eight out of the thirteen. Iowa.

A few weeks ago indications were bright for a sweeping republican victory in Kan- sas, but recent events have changed the situation. The fight is mainly between the republicans and populists. The act. which checked the republican enthusiasm was the declaration by Senator Martin that the party must be beaten in state, legislature and congressional dis tricts. This position of Senator Martin was notice to the 2,000 democratic postmasters and their assistants that the only way the republican party could be beaten was to vote for the populist candidates. This, it is claimed, will take 5,000 votes from the stalwart democratic ticket, headed by David Overmyer for governor, and add that number to Lewelling. It may also carry many floaters over who would have voted the republican ticket because of the belief that it would win. This change will have a marked effect on the congressional elections also, and is al- most certain to give the legislature to the populists. It is hardly probable, it is thought, as things now appear, for the re- publicans to elect more than five of the eight Congressmen. To do this they will have to carry the state, because one Con- gressman is elected at large. Kentucky. Kentucky will elect four judges of its court of appeals and three railroad com- missioners. ‘The vote of the state for Pres- ident in 1802 was: Democratic, 175,461; re- publican, 135,441; populist, 23,500; prohibi- tion, 6,442. \ The congressional candidates are: First District.

The republicas captrol one congressional district in Keytucky, the eleventh, which contains all the safe republican counties of the state, thrawn into that district by the reapportionment. They will undoubtedly bold this district, and hope to carry the seventh, Breckinridge’s old bailiwick, on account of factional troubles among’ the democrats. There ig great dissatisfaction among the democrats of the entire state, and while the managers claim that all dif- ferences will .be, adjusted before election day, the republicans are making a vigorous can.paign on the strength of this situation, and say they expect to capture a couple of additional Congressmep.

Peare, Soc.-b "The respectivé clalins of the two parties in Massachusetts are so conflicting that it is very difficult:to fateshadow the probable result of the election. The republicans ap- pear to be more a than their op- ponents. It is knoWn that the democrats will not make &ny gains, but will probably lose at least two oftheir Congressmen, in the fifth and seventh districts respectively. The republicans clajm eleven out of the thirteen Congressmen. ‘Marland. The election {n Maryland is for Congress only.

In the first and fifth districts the double ticket is occasioned by the necessity of fill- ing a vacancy for the coming session of Congress as well as electing a member to the next House. In this state there have been serious factional fights among the democrats, between the Gorman and ant!- Gorman wings of the ‘y, but it is thought that the republicans will profit | by it in the fifth district, where this situa- tion, together with the general dissatisfac- tion existing among the working classes, seems to hold out a hope of returning a re- publican Congressman. The advantage which the republicans would derive in the sixth district is lessened by a bitter fight In that party against the republican candi- date, which has proceeded to the length of organizing republican clubs to vote against him, but notwithstanding this the republi- cans have a fairly good prospect of carry- ing the district. Michigan. Michigan will elect state officers and the legislature, which will choose two United States Senators as successors of James Mc- Millan and John Patton, jr., both republi- cans.

The demo- crats will be doing very well if they can hold three or even two of the five districts they now have. ‘There is intense dissat! faction among the democrats over the per- sonnel of the party management, and a strong anti-Dickinson faction has arisen. The A. P. A. movement has figured promt. nently in the campaign. The demccrats are also divided on the tariff question in Michigan. Minnesota.

They are claiming the election of Hall and Baldwin in the third and sixth districts, respectively, but it is doubtful whether they will do ‘better than elect one Representative, possibly Hall. The popu- lists are claiming that they will hold the seventh dis rict, which ts now repre- sented by one of their men, Mississippi. In this state the election will be for Con- gressmen.

The democratic incumbent of the lat- ter district, O'Neil, refused to run again, and the election of the new democratic nom- inee would surprise democrats as well as republicans, it 1s said. This does not rep- resent the total of the republican hopes, however, for a vigorous campaign is being made by them in every district, and strong candidates have been selected. Montana. Montana will elect associate justice of the supreme court, and the legislature, which will choose two United States Senators. The people are also to decide by their votes which city, Helena or Anaconda, shall be the permanent state capital.

In Nebraske the democrats appear to have nothing to expect, except the loss of the first district, which they now hold. The populists are still very strong, while the re- publicans expect to poll a larger vote this year than in 1892, Many straight demo- crats are expected to vote the republican state ticket.

The example of Vermont, the sister state, in rolling up a phenomenal republican ma- jority, has discouraged the New Hampshire democrats. They do not feel very hopeful over the outlook. The republicans confi- dently expect to carry the state. New Jersey. New Jersey elects the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator to suc- ceed John R. McPherson, democrat.

There seems little doubt that the next legislature will be, as is this one, republi- can. This will insure the election of a re- publican, probably ex-Senator Sewall, to succeed Mr. McPherson. The tide is strong- ly republican, especially among the manu- facturing districts of the state. Republi- cans will, it is believed, certainly carry four districts. T here is a strong fight being urged in the fourth, fifth and sixth districts, which the republicans hope to carry, th making the delegation stand five republi- cans to three democrats. It is said that the democrats are disheartened. * New York. New York will elect a governor, leuten- ant governor, judge of the court of appeals and the assembly, The people will vote upon two proposed amendments to the con- stitution of the state.

They are threatened with the loss of the nineteenth district, = they claim now that Haines, their date, will be re-elected. This is the collar and cuff district, The democrats are hoping to partly offset their almost certain losses in the city by the gain of two districts in the state outside. They hope to gain the eighteenth, represented now by Le Fever, republican, and also the twenty-second,now represented by Gen. Curtis, republican. There is a big republican majority in this latter district, but the republicans got into @ row over the nomination and two candi- dates are running. It looks as if the democrats might not have more than sixteen Representativet from New York in the next House.

It 1s difficult to briefly state the situation in Ohio, as the conditions vary in almost. every congressional district. Basing their expectations upon democratic disorganiza- tion and the condition of the times, the re- publicans are claiming sixteen out of the twenty-one districts. The democrats do not concede this large gain and insist they will almost hold their own. The democrats are certain of but five Representatives from Obio, though they have eleven in the pres- ent House. They are hopeful, however, of electing seven of the twenty-one Repre- sentatives, In addition to the five who are regarded as certain, they hope to elect Sorg and Ritchie, and Tom Johnson has put up such a vigorous fight in the Cleveland district as to render his election not im- probable.
