The republicans concede six districts to the democrats in Pennsylvania, and it is not improbable that they may hold seven. In the present house they have ten. The McAleer district, which has heretofore been Tegarded as safely democratic, is expected to be carried by the republicans on ac- count of the peculiar manner in which Me- Aleer was turned down and another nom- inated in his place. The democrats have me hope of electing Sibley in the twenty- sixth district, though in the beginning of the campaign it appeared altogether prob- able that a republican would be elected. South Dakota. South Dakota will elect state officers and the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator to succeed Richard F.- Petti- &rew, republican. The people will also vote upon three proposed amendments to the constitution of the state. The vote of the state for President in 182 was: Demo- cratic, 9,081; republican, 34,888; populist, 25,544. The ‘congressional candidates for two Congressmen-at-large are: W. A. Lynch, Dem. R. J. Gamble, Rep. R. F. Connor, Dem. J. EB, Kelley, Pop. J. A. Pickler, Rep. F. Knowles, Pop. In this state the contest is mainly between the populists and republicans, with the greatest Interest centering upon’ the legisla- ture and subsequent senatorial fight. An unexpected turn was given to the situation this week by the Catholic bishop of the state requesting all the Catholic priests to use their influence for the republicans. ‘Tennessee. Tennessee will elect a governor, judge of the supreme court, and the legislature, which will choose a United States Senator to succeed Isham G. Harris, democrat.

Indications int’to the probability of the new delega- tlon standing eight democrats and two republicans. A vigorous fight is also being rade on Enloe in the eighth by the repub- licans, but the democrats do ngt concede the probability of losing him. ‘Texas.

Tenth Distric take a wide breach in the solid democratic congressional delegation from Virginia. They claim from two to four Congress- men. The republicans have a right to ex- Pect to elect two of the ten Representatives under ordinary conditions. They are mak- ing a fight in all but oné district with an earnestness which signifies great confi- cence. The factional divisions which have almost destroyed the party in the state during the last two elections have all been cured and they are presenting a solid front in the fight. Moreover, there is quite a strong protection sentiment in the state, which is calculated to aid them in the campaign, especially in the iron and ccal regions. The districts regarded as most ‘doubtful are the first, second, ninth, tenth and sixth. The democrats are not willing to admit the probability of the republicans carrying more than one district, the sixth being regarded as the weakest.

West Virginia is the mest doubtful state of all, Each district is in doubt, and which- ever way the election goes, it will be by but a very small majority. Alderson’s district, which was regarded at first as even more doubtful then Wilson's, is new claimed by the democrats to be safe. Apparently the jemocrats have been gaining considerable ground during the progress of the cam- paign, and Wiison’s election by a very small majority is regarded by conservatives »s probable. The democrats are in more dan- ger, apparently, of losing the first district, now represented by Pendleton. ‘the state belongs in the doubtful column in all calcu- lations on the next House, and probably for a week afte: the election it will not be known which party has won, Wisconsin, Wisconsin will elect state officers and the legislature.

If they succeed in doing this it should be extremely gratifying to them, but Mr. Wall, the chairman of the democratic state committee, claims more. The republi- cans are claiming the state and a majority ot the congressional delegation. Wyoming. Wyoming will elect state officers and the legislature, which will choose two United States Senators, one for four years, to suc- ceed Francis E. Warren, republican, the last legislature having failed to elect, and the other for the fu'l term of six years, to succeed Joseph M. Carey, republican.

The re- publicans expect to overcome this majority this year, but the democrats do not admit the probability. Carey’s attitude on the sil- ver question, and the old issue which arose from the cattlemen’s invasion, give hopes of an anti-republican legislature. Utan, The last campaign before statehood comes to Utah is now on with full force, and both parties are battling for the con- trol of the constitutional convention, which, as it will fix the legislative apportionment for the new state, is regarded as the most important thing to be fought for. As the first legislature will have the duty of elect- ing the two Senators, the contest for it overshadows the election for delegate to Congress and for county oflicers: The vote for congressional delogate in 1892 was: Democratic, 15,211; republican, 12,405; liberal, 6,089. ‘The candidates for delegate to Congress are: J.

In Salt Lake City, whicn ts likely to prove the key to the situation, it has much the better constitutional ticket, as it has nominated two of the strongest men in the Mormon Church, and combined with them equally strong men, who will draw support from outside. The republi- cans, however, have a good organization, with some of the best politicians at its head, and are sparing no efforts to pluck Victory from what is sull very uncertain jefeat. fara Arizona.

Okinhoma, This territory will elect a delegate to Congress. The vote for delegate in 18J2 was: Republican, 9,478; democratic, i: populist, 4,348, and_ 1,009 votes scattering.

A FIGHT AGAINST RAILROAD CONTROL The Congressional Candidates and Their Chances. HILBORN TO GET JUSTICE Correspondence of The Evening Star. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., October 24, 1894. For a general mix-up on matters political California can claim the palm in this cam- paign and need not be afraid that she will be surpassed in any degree even by New York with the unquenehable feuds between the state democracy, the regular. machine and the various factions in Brooklyn. In this state it is not the democratic party alone that is in the throes of a factional fight; but all parties are included in the general mix-up. All the trouble has arisen over the entrance of the railroad question into politics. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company for years has dominated in Cali- fornia, and it has grown to be a political proverb on the Pacific slope that the rail- road company owned the sloge. In past campaigns a determined effort has been nrade to overcome the influence of the rail- road, but the effort has been only partly successful, and this year there is a general uprising that is confined to no political party, and which finds its means of making itself felt by becoming opposed to all men who are suspected of being in sympathy with the railroads, no matter what ticket they may be upon. All over the state the independent anti- railroad men are placing their own tickets in the field, sometimes indorsing the nom- inees of one party and sometimes putting up men who have not been prominent in any party, but have fought the railroad. San Francisco set pace, and the other cities and finally the country districts followed the example of the metropolis. The desired consummation Is a capture of the legislature and election of a Senator who will cppose by voice and vote the proposition of the government to fund the debt of the South- ern Facitic, and thas place that powerful corporation in its full strength again. How- ever, it is desired from a local standpoint that the sheriffs and assessors principally and other county officials shall be anti-rail- road, in order that the property ef the com- pany may be looked after in the interests of the people. ‘The Paramount e. This is the paramount issue, which disre- gards all party lines, and therefore it has little beariag on the congressional elections, except in so far as it affects candidates in their personal standing on the funding bill and whatever other legislation in the inter- est of the Southern Pacific which ma come before Congress. However, there ar other issues of a more partisan nature that are cutting a very good figure in the cam- paign between the two parties. It would be difficult to say which 1s regarded as the most importaat—the Chinese question, the Hawaiian question and the tariff question are equally strong in the different sections. On all these three the democrats seem to have the worst of the argument. The new Chinese treaty is very unpopular, and Sen- ator White opened himseif to a great deal of criticism when he chose to support the policy of the administration on it. Added to it was the disinclination of the adminis- tration to execute the Geary law before the ratification of the present treaty. On the Hawaiian question California was very much worked up. The interests of the state are such that the acquisition of Hawail would have proved greatly beneficial, an: neither party would support the acts of ; President Cleveland in rejecting all offers for annexation. The action of the demo- crats on the tariff cut both ways in Cali- fornia. If there is anything in the world that is really wanted by the Golden Gate state it is free coal, as all the supply of that article must be brought from abroad, and the imposition of heavy tariff duties works to the great injury of the people ar manufacturers of the state. Therefore, when the democrats refused to make coal free, in spite of the promises that had been given in the campaign on the Pacific slope, there was a great deal of dissatisfaction, which lost nothing in intensity when the democrats took off a great deal of the pro- tection that had theretofore been given to prunes, mica and other important products of California, Therefore, at the outset, the democrats are handicapped on this issue. Democratic Situation Unfavorable, Under these conditions the situation does not look very bright for the democracy. At first it was claimed that they would save a majority of the delegation from the state, but as reports have been coming in from the different districts it looks as though they would be fortunate if they succeeded in saving more than one. The fortunate one will probably be Judge M. guire of San Francisco, who has made himself popular because of his strong stand on the railroad question while in Congress. He comes from the district in the city where there is the most likelihood of fraud, and it is openly charged that the railroad men are working in repeaters by the hun- dreds to defcat him. However, the judge has fought this influence before and has overcome all attempts at bribery and trickery through the assistance of the Aus- trailian ballot law. His free trade, single tax and silver views are very popular with his constituents, and he is now counted on as a certain quantity, though both T. B. Shannon, the reputlican nominee, and B. Q. Collier, the popuiist, are in the fight to win, and the former is backed by the re- publican machine. The democrats have a good fighting chance with Geary also. His principal strength lies in the fact ‘that he fathered the law that would make miserable for all time to come the life of any Chinaman who dared to come unauthorized on the soll of the U ed Sta There was some fear that he would lose on account of his atti- tude in opposing the caucus action of the House of Reprezentatives taking the Senate tariff bill; but this action, if anything, has but tended to make him more popular with his constituents, as he stood out for free coal and was not so strongly against the keeping on of a few duties on the products of California. He stands well on the Ha- watian question, and is also in tine with the anti-railroad’ men in his opposition to the funding bill. He has a good fight on, though, and if he is successful he may find it’ necessary to go into the political hospital for a time for necessary repairs, for there will be strong evidences that he has been in a fight and a good one at that. John A. Barham, the republican candidate, js from Geary’s own town, and he is mak- ing it very warm right in the home quar- ters, while R. F. Grigsby, the populist, is making ic lively in the cutside regions. The fight is hardly three cornered, but the pop- ulists will draw off a great deal of the dis- gruntied strength of the democrats. A Democratic Chance. ‘The cnly other district in which the dem- ocrats stand a good chance is the second, where Caminetti is making a strong can- yass for re-election. Caminetti is a strony man in the district. He has made several good campaigns, and has the record of having no defeats of any consequence in his pclitical career. He krows his district thoroughly, and is naking one of the best campaigns that has ever been known there since the first campaign of Budd, the pres- ent democratic candidate for governor of the state. Perhaps the strongest point in Caminetti’s canvass is his repudiation of the acts of the admir:stration on silver, the Hawaiian question and the Chinese treaty. He makes no secret of his determination to be a democritic free lance, and is thus drawing strength from the anti-Cleveland democrats, who othe: wise would have gone to the republicans. His own party has raliiec. around him in good shape, and are determined to have success. Nevertheless, Grove L. Johnson, the republican nominee, is claiming his election. He is perhaps the strongest man the republicans could put up in the district, and has behind him the support of the railroad, while Caminetti, not being a pronounced anti-railroad man, cannot draw around him the other strength. Johnson is making a canvass second only to that of his chief opponent, and is being greatly aided by the populists, headed by Burdette Carnell, who are drawing oft some democratic strength. — ‘These are the only three districts in which there seems to be any possibility of dem- ocratic success. The pgrty has been almost competled by the force of cljgumstances to concede the election of Loud in the fifth district. They had soshe hape of success here in the early part ef the campaign, but after they had nomingted ja candidate it turned out that he had concerned with Boss Buckley in ‘the bribery of the board of supervisors, and ‘the democrats were compelled to withdraw him and sub- stitute James Denman, whe, it ts feared, has entered the campaign tao late to prove bie enough to overq@me ;Loud’s natural Hillborn Will Probably, Be Elected. The situation that is attracting perhaps the most interest is the third, where War- ren B, English and Sathuel G. Hilborn are again matched for the contest. The fight, to a great extent, has turred on the ques- tion of whether the democrats in Con- gress were right in urseating Hilborn and going behind the returns to give the vote to Erglish. Into this question comes the desire of the American people for fairness at all times, and it bas been a natural con- sequence that the republicans have made the most of what at the-best was a ques- tionable deal, On this issue alone it would be probable that Hi’born would be elected, as a large part of the democrats of the district were inclined to diecourage the ef- forts of English to win the seat after Hil- born was elected, and this element is ex- pected to vote for Hilborn to show their desire for fair play. When the advantages of Hilborn on this account are compared, as well with his advantages from his position on the Chinese, Hawaiian and silver ques- tions, there can seem no doubt of his elec- tion. and the politicians generally believe that Erglish will be one of the worst whip- ped men in the state on the day the ballots are counted. Populists for Congress. It is possible that the fopulists will hold the balance of power in the delegation. They are likely to capture the sixth, or Los Angeles district, now represented by Cannon, who was elected in 1802 by a com- bination of the votes of the democrats and populists. Each party new has a man in the field, the democrats having nominated George 8, Patton, the republicans James McLachien, and the populists W. C. Bow man, It was the desire of the populists and democrats that Cannon should stand again, but he peremptorily declined. In the pres- ent fight the democratic candidate is re- garded as being without hope, while the re- publican and populist candidates have the fight between them,with the chances slight- ly in favor of the former. Bowman, how- ever, is a good man and an excellent cam- paigner. In addition, he is a man who is not too strong a populist to be a eafe repre- sentative, and therefore he will draw a great deal of strength from the democrats, many of whom see there is no hope for their own candidate, and believe it will be good Folitics to elect the populist. Should Ma- guire, Geary and Caminetti be elected by the democrats, and Bowmane by the popu- lists, the latter will control the voice of the deiegaticn in case the President should be selected by the House in 1806, The Senatorial Situation. The next Senator from California will probably be a republican, and it is more than likely that it will be Senator Perkins, who has made a good record during the shert time he has been attending to his public duties. M. H. De Young, proprietor of the Chronicle, is charged with being on a sul! hunt for the toga, and it is alleged he will have the support of the ratiroad in- terests. However, it 1#, not, believed that the straight reputlican nominees will con- trol the legislature, but that it will be con- trolled by independent reyfublicans, who will be elected in a non-pértisan manner ty the anti-railrocd clement of the state. It is possible that the democrats and popu- lists between them wit gaih control, but that is hardly within the probabilities, and at the present time it‘ certétinly jooks as though Senator Perkin§ wilf be the lucky man to receive the prige at the hands of the voters. > In the state campaigh the Situation is as mixed as it is everywhere else. Budd, the democratic nominee, is’ making one of his own peculiar campaign#. He is rallying to nis support the great ‘university ment, and is stumping the state from one end to the other, traveling long Journeys in buck- boards, and showing nimseff equal to al- most any emergency. H> is certainly arous- ing great enthusiasm, ‘and it is possible that he will be successful in spite of the strong tide that has set in against ais party along the whole Pacific coast. The repub- licans have lately resorted to charging him | with some unworthy deeds, but he has made denial of them iu such way that it Is hardly probable that many votes will be influenced against him on this account. He is strongly anti-railroad, and was nomi- nated on an antl-railroad platform. Estee, the republican candidate, has the best of the fight now, but it is not known what in- roads may be made upon him by the stand he has taken on the railroad question. At first it was said quite freely that he had been put to the front by the railway men; but after Budd took his stand on the ques- tion, Estee also came out strongly against the railroad, and as a consequence, he is feared by a certain element on each'side of the fence, as they are not sure just exactly where he’ stands on the issue, and will not be inclined to trust him too far. Down With the Bosses. In San Francisco and other large cities in the state the fight ts for the killing of the bosses. Dan Burns, who controls the republican party of ‘Frisco, and Buckley, the blind boss of the democrats, are mak- ing the fights of their lives, They are sparing no endeavors to retain their hold and are charged freely with resorting to every kind of political trick to carry the election dishonestly. Against them the bet- ter elements of the city have pitted them- selves under a non-partisan banner, and the best newspapers of the city are uphoid- ing this movernent. The fight is hot and the me is uncertain. The populists are making strong claims as to what will be done by their party in this election. They say they will show such strong gains over the previous years as to give courage to the party throughout the country and set at rest the claim that populism is on the wane. They rely to a great extent on the dissatisfied element, which is in great force on the coast. This element sent out the commonweal armies that made their mad chase across the country, and it is this element which is etill making threatening movements of the same nature. They are inclined to be ex- tremists, and therefore the populists are counting on their support almost to a man. Besides this, the par claims that Cali- iforna is strong on the silver question, and seeing no hope for the white metal in either of the two old parties will turn to the populists, who are determined to in- augurate a new regime in monetary mat- ters. Ee, MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION. ‘The Public Schools of Chicago and Their Annanl Expenditure. From the New York Evening Post. A new system of paying, public school teachers in Chicago went Into operation Monday. For many years iti has been the custom for ali the supertittendents and teachers to assemble once a, month at the city hall to receive their pay. At present there are 4,000 teachers.in the city, and the old system of paying this great number in currency at one place fad Necome a very burdensome one. Hereffter “the principals of the schools will receiye from the board of education checks for distribution to the various teachers. Accotding’ to a recent statement from the Chicago ‘board of edu- cation the property owned by the city in trust for school purposes, including build- ings and furniture, is valued at over $14,- 000,000, The real estate belonging to the school fund consists of some of the best down-town property, the appraised value of which in 1885, since Which time valuations ave greatly increased, was $4,266,260.00. ‘The annual income from the ground rent of this property amounts to $257,677.66. There are 206 schools fully equipped, in which seating capacity for 190,000 children has been provided. The board has intrust- ed to it the expenditure of $6,500,000 a year, of which $3,034,000 goes to the teach- ers. ‘The disbursement by check of so large a sum of money each month to over 4,000 individuals will add largely to the circula- tion medium in the city, because many of these checks will, no doubt, pass through other hands before they are finally redeemed and canceled. -—ee0--- ——— He—“I had a queer dream about you last night, Miss Louisa.

COLORADO'S CONTEST The Populists Fighting to Perpetu- ate Their Control. WAMPE'S STRONG GRIPON THE MACHINE Business Interests of the State All Opposed to Him. THE VOTE OF THE WOMEN —_—_>—_— Correspondence of The Evening Star. DENVER, Col., October 30, 3894. What is probably the most bitterly fought campaign ever known in the history of this state is now under full headway, and the contest waxes warmer as the day of election approaches. Enthusiastic meetings are being held daily everywhere, and the two principal parties are using every method known to politics to assure a full vote on the 6th of November. The people have been in a political fer- ment ever since the presidential election of '92, when, owing to dissatisfaction with the financial policies of the republican and democratic parties, they foreswore their old allegiance, and cast in their fortunes with the populists. Two years of the rule of that party has left them more at sea than ever as to what permanent policy they would pursue. é All three of the parties have full tickets in the field, but as the democratic party failed toypoll 10 per cent of the total vote cast at the last election, it is scarcely to be considered a srious factor in the contest. The fight really lies between the republi- cans and the populists. Both of these par- tles are making extravagant claims as to their respective strength, but the truth is no man can do more than guess at the out- come. The populists are making a life-and- death struggle, apparently with the belief that their future existence as a political organization in the state depends upon the result of this election, and as they have control of the official patronage, it looks on the surface as if the odds are in their favor. The governor is a consummate po- litical wire-puller of a peculiar type, and whatever else his opponents may think or say, they realize that they have in him an antagonist of no mean proportions. He is perfectly frank in letting the public know exactly where his sympathies lie, and on more than one occasion has informed them that he intended to run thé state in the interests of the miners and cther laboring classes. This, of course, has endeared him to those elements, and, ‘to all uppearances, the country districts and mining towns are almost solidly populist in sentiment. Many of these people sincerely believe that the governor is the greatest man in the country, and support him with a zeal that amounts almost to fanaticism. He is mak- ing his campaign and building his hope of success on the sympathies of the laboring classes, and few men know better than he does how to play upon their prejudices. The A. P. A, Movement. An element that is working to the disad- vantage of the republicans is the religious antagonism aroused among the Catholics by the active part the A. P. A. is taking in the campaign. ‘Che populists are using that fact with considerable effect, and it will probably deprive the republicans of a con- siderable portion of the Catholic vote, es- pecially among the Irish and Italians. A sentiment of anarchy of considerable importance has sprung up among tlie gov- ernor’s followers, though it is of a milder type than that with which the police of | eastern cities are familiar, and he is some- times referred to by his jous partisans as the “grand old anarchist.” The chief ex- ponent of this element ts the Rev. Myron Reed, who, until quite recently, was pastor of the First Congregational Church, one of the most fashionable places of worship in the city of Denver. He is an ardent sup- porter of the governor, and as he is an un- usually bright man and a popular orator, and expounds his theories rather plausibly, his influence will probably count for a good eal. The republicans lost a valuable man in the defection of I. N. Stevens of this city. The public will remember him as the attor- ney for the prosecution in the Dr. Graves murder case. He was considered one of the best organizers in the party, and although it had been known for some time that he Was growing weak in the faith, thus tend- ing to discount the effect of his transfer to the opposition, yet his loss is, nevertheless, a pretty serious blow to the party. Opposed to Waite's Re-Election. ‘The mine owners and business men of the cities and larger towns, especially east of the mountains, are strongly opposed to Waite’s re-election. They claim that he has, by intemperate public utterances and injudicious official acts, not only kept out- side capital from being invested in the state, but actually driven out much that had al- ready been placed here. They point to his action in sending the state militia to Cripple Creek for the purpose of dislodging the sheriff's deputies who were sent there to protect the property of the mine owners from the strikers as an evidence that he is in league with the lawless elements of the state. They charge him with being responsible for a condition bordering on civil war when the troops were called out to dislodge the fire and police board from the city hall of Denver, for the purpose of installing the newly appointed board, with- out first appealing to the courts for action in regard to the matter, and say that all these things were published in :he eastern papers, thereby giving people abroad the impression that the state government could not be relied upon to protect property, and that as a result they have been pressed by their creditors and hampered in their attempts to get money for the purpose of saving or developing their busin in support of these charges they have pub- lished letters and extracts from letters from eastern investors, in which the latter not only refuse to place more money kere, but express a desire to withdraw what they have already invested, giving as a reason that the present adminis:ration cannot be relied upon to protect their interests. If rent is to be regarded as a reliable index of the value of property then real estate values in the city of Denver alone have shrunk at least 50 per cent within the past eighteen months. Houses that rented at from $35 to $50 per month in the spring and summer of 18% may be had now at from $12 to $25, and the owners are glad to get tenants at those figures. Furnished houses may be rented at lower rates now than would have been charged for them vacant at that time. This also is charged to populist rule, though much of it is un- doubtedly due to former inflation of values. The Woman Vote. A new element in the present contest with which the politicians have not had to deal before is the woman vote. This will be the first general election in which the women will exercise the full rights of the elective franchise. Each party is claiming the credit of having bestowed upon the women the right to vote, and basing its claim for their support on that ground. The repub! cans created considerable bitterness among their feminine contingent by refusing to recognize their claims for representation on the party executive committees, but have smoothed that over to a considerable ex- tent by granting their demand in part, and nominating a woman for superintend- ent of public instruction of the state and several for representatives. They are also appealing to the women to support the republican ticket on the ground that if the populists are successful it will be taken in other states as an indication that women cannot safely be intrusted with the ballot. So far as outward indications go it does not appear that the woman vote is likely to materially affect the result. While there undoubtedly will be exceptions, in which families will divide their votes between the two parties, as a rule they will vote together. The fact that the campaign is such an exciting one and the outcome so enveloped in uncertainty will probably have the effect of bringing out a much larger number of women to the polls than would otherwise come. Quite a number of them are taking a vigorous part in the cam- paign, and are even more enthusiastic than the men, but the rank and file are not tak- ing a very active part, and many of them who do not relish the idea of going to the polls, but feel that it is their duty to du so, now that the obligation has been im- posed upon them, would be better pleased if they had never been enfranchised, The Senntorial Contes: The populists are making a very aggres- sive fight to capture the next legislature for the purpose of retiring Senator Wol- cott from the United States Senate. The rank and file of the populist party are very bitterly opposed to corporations, and to anybody connected with them, and the jeaders recognizing this, are vigorously ex- ploiting the fact that Wolcott is a railroad attorney. If they succeed in controlling the legislature the probability is that Waite will be Senator Teller’s colleague after the 4th of March next. It is well known that the senatorial bee is creating considerable disturbance in Pence’s vicin- ity, and there is not much love lost be- tween him and the governor, but the lat- ter is the idol of the populist masses, and it is hardly probable that a legislature elected vy them would care to disregard that sentiment, unless he should formally withdraw from the race. ‘The only hope of republican success lies in the possibility that they may carry the counties east of the mountains by ma- jorities sufficient to overcome the populist majority in the rest of the state. Pence carried the first district, in which the city of Denver is located, by a pluraiity of only a little more than two thousand out of @ total vote of about forty thousand. In view of the general dissatisfaction in Den- ver with the present populist administra- tion he stands a fair chance of being de- feated. In Lell’s district, however, it is not such plain sailing. He carried it in "92 by a plurality of tweive thousand, and the indications are that he will carry it again, though by a reduced plurality. His cpponent, Eowen, is a union labor man and was nominated by the republicans for the purpose of overcoming, as far as possible, the hold Waite has upon the miners. These two candidates are pretty well matched, in- tellectually, but in the first district Pence has considerably the edvantage of his op- ponent, Shafreth, in being degidedly the better campaigner of the two. ‘The republican candidate for governor, A. W. Mcintire, is a ranckman from beyond the mountains. He is said to be very rich, and it is charged by the opposition that his willingness to spend money freely in the campaign was the cause of his nomina- tion. However that may be, he was but yery slightly known in the state prior to his nomination. He is generally regarded as a clean man, one who has no incon- venient public record behind him that reeds to be explained or excused, and whose abil- ity is sufficient to enable him to fill the position of governor with at least average dignity and judgment. ‘Taken all in all, the situation is excead- ingly complex and the outcome can only be conjectured, but the present indications are that the governor’s followers carry the whip. oe RANG IN A COLD DECK. One o1 the Most Agreeable Men on a Steamer for Europe. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. “The lest time I went to Europe,” said :m editorial friend of mine, “I went in very @istinguished company, Among my fellow- passengers were George Gould and family, Widener, Elkins and Yerkes, the street railway inillionaires. and I don’t know how many mere ric) men, “On the secong day out there was the usual drift of fellows of sporting proclivi- ties towara the smoking room, and very soon several games were going on. A very gentlemanly person, who was looking on, like myself, asked me if I ever played poker. I said, ‘Yes, now and then, if the stakes are small.’ After a little further conversation we found three other men, took a table, an. began to play a dollar limit game. Some of them wanted to make the limit higher, but I was firm, and we kept it down. We played pretty much all day, and then acain at night, without any very big hands or any great variation in luck. Finally, however, I struck a big hand, and so did my gentlemanly friend, who was, indeed, quite the most agreeable man at the table. We backed our hands for all they were worth, and perhaps in my case for more, for I lost. The same thing happened several times, and the result was that, small as the game was, I got up from the table $ out of pocket. The next day we played again, but there was very little life in the game, and finally we gave it up. “The matter haa almost passed out of my mind, when the man who had won my money came to me one day as we were fMearing the other side, and said: “I think I ought to give that money back to you.” ““I don’t see why,’ said I. ‘If I had won your money I should have taken it.’ ‘Yes, but this is different.’ w different? I don’t understand.’ ell, the fact 1s, 1 don't mind telling you, I am a professional.’ “ ‘Well, if I had known that I don’t think I would have played with you. But if you won my money fairly, keep it.’ ‘“That’s just it,’ he said. ‘Here is your money. You are not the sort of game I am after. I rang in a cold deck on you during a deal. I gm one of the few who can do it.’ “Then he went on te tell me, after I had taken the money, that he had come aboard expressly to pluck George Gould or one of the street railway magnates, but had given up the job. ‘The fact is,’ he said, ‘rich men nowadays are not like they used to be. So svon as a man gets a big pot of money he does all his gambling in stocks or grain. Sometimes we get hold of a sucker that has come into a fortune by luck, and he is good game, but that sort of thing 1s get scarcer every day. Don't give me a until I leave the ship. Good day.’”” ——>——_—_ WOMEN AFTER MARRIAGE. A French Explanation Why They Are Courteé Less Than Young Girls, Pan! Bourget on the American Woman. Why is the young married woman in the United States less courted than the young girl? That is the first question that offers itself to the stranger after a few weeks of residence. Is it that the Americans respect marriage more than we do? Is it that the custon s being more simple and more pure, the heart of the young man is repugnant to what aduitery represents of bitter emotions and ulcerated feelings even in happiness? Does time fail for the seductions which must be deeply planned and slowly? Is it the disgust of the lie, that feature so re- markable in the soul of the Anglo-Saxon? It is certain, however, that in society you will never hear allusions made to one of those Haisons such as exist and abound in Paris, and even in London—that line of de- marcation between coquetry and intimacy, between the surroundings of the fault and the fault itself. American conversation al- ways avoids it. “Such things do not exist in the United States.” That is the phrase which I have heard several of my friends here express, and when I objected to one of them, the at- titude of such and such women with such and such men, which seemed to me to bear indisputable evidence. ‘These women think it necessary to have a_ history,” one of them replied, “because they have them in Europe. * * * Owly instead of hiding them, they publish them as much as possible, pre- cisely because there is nothing serious in them.” The stranger can but reply by the great word of doubt of the most skeptical of peo- ple, and the least American, “Sara.” Two reasons of a very different kind explain a priori, if one can say so, that the married woman should be more protected here than in_the old world. The first, that we must not exaggerate, is the background of Puritanism which has lessened from year to year for the past fifty years, almost from month to month. But it has not yet disappeared altogether. ‘The second comes from that extraordinary facility of divorce, at which the severe moralists shudder. If they are right, from the point of the greater good, they are as- surecly wrong from the point of the lesser evi!. Here again the Americans have obey- ed their instincts of seeing things as they are and of allowing themselves to be led bad facts, accepting them without discuss- ng. ——e+- Stocking Darning Made Easy.
