The committee at werk en the accounts of Columbia Typographical Un‘on, No. 101, bas nearly completed its investigation, al- though no formal report has been pre- pared. Mr. Padgett is at his office in Ty- pographical Temple daily, and is assisting the committee whenever called upon. Tc a Star reporter today he said that he was now feeling fairly well, and was able to attend to his duties, although Mr. Ed. Toner, the temporary secretary, continues to occupy the office and assist in its duties Mr. Padgett said that it would be foun® that his accounts were all right, and that every dollar would be accounted for in full. ‘The report of the committee will not be made public until it has been presented tc the union. There will be no meeting of the union until November 17. On that date it is expected that the committee will present its report, and the Padgett incident wiil come to a close, either by an expression of ecnfidence and his continuance in office or his prompt resignation. STOPPED GIVING TRANSFERS. The Metropolitan Railrond Ceases Reciprocal Relations. The Metropolitan Ra‘Iroad Company today carried into effect its intention, formally ar.- nounced to the Eckington and Belt rail way-officials some days ago, to give and re- ceive no more free transfers between the lines at their Intersections at Sth and F streets, Sth and D streets and 11th and F streets northwest. a great-deal of dissatisfaction expressed at the new order of things by those who hau been in the habit of getting transfers at one or the other of the points named, and President Phillips came in for some very uncomplimentary remarks about his refusai to punsiaes the convenience of the traveling public. While nothing deffaite has been decided \pon, it is more than probable that the Eck- ington and Belt companies will attempt tu secure legal interference and endeavor tu have the transfer system t Z eee ys to be again ——_ Hotel Arrivals, Raleigh—Fred.

Hat pins are growing in elaborateness and expensiveness every day. Every conceiv- able design is made in rhinestones, silver, steel, gilt, gold and even jewels. A round ball seems the favorite conceit, and very effective it is In rhinestones, steel or what is called agate—a transparent blue glass, set with miniature jewels. The most useful and inexpensive black headed hat pin 1s no longer possible, alas! and if we cannot af- ford real jewels, gold or silver we must deck ourselves in gaudy imitations thereof or be considered hopelessly behind the times. ‘The designs in silver are very varied and sometimes grotesquely inappropriate. A small Cupid, poised on a ball, may be artis- tic, but ts certainly not appropriate to hold on a hat, and yet this is only one of many equally remarkable pins, Tony Duffy’s Oration. 3 From Life. ‘Fellers!

The elections elsewhere attract little general at- tention, though governors and a full list of officers are to be elected in eight states, and in other states elections of local importance wiil be held. Only in the states above ramed is the contest regarded as sig- nificant. While it is. an off year, with Corgress and the presidency not directly in- velved, there may be much in this fall's vete that will have bearing on the contest of '96. It is particularly important to the lemocrats that they should win in Mary- und, Kentucky and New York. The loss of these three states, or any two of them, would be generally accepted as indicating small hope of a democrat succeeding Grover Cleveland in the White House. The loss of New York would probably be the least serious to them. To be defeated in either Maryland or Kentucky would be terribly disheartening. Yet in both these states the party is torn by dissension, and democrats m the name of loyalty to the national ad- ministration are striving for the defeat of their own party’s ticket. In New York there is as much dissension, but it is not as snusual there, nor is it of the same sort. Interest Felt in New York. Though New York elects neither governor or Heutenant governor, the election is of interest, because of the utter overthrow of the democrats at the last election, and the bearing the result now may have on the presidential nominations and _ elections They will elect the legislature, justices of the supreme court, and a Representative to Congress to fill a vacancy. Bes'des the party divisions of republicans and.demo- srats, there are the Tammany and anti- Tammany, Platt and anti-Platt factions, the reformers and those who do not want teform, .the state democracy, which is livided and subdivided. Altogether it is a notch-potch of factions, but the tickets that are in the fleld are the democratic, the re- publican, the people's party, the socialist- labor party, and the prohibition. All the various ideas of reform or opposition to it, and the friction between the several fac- tions make issues, but the main issue out side the position taken by the two great varties on national questions is that of personal liberty, or whether the Sunday closing law shall be enforced. This issue was given by the reform government of New York city, where, under the direction of Police Commissioner Roosevelt, all the saloons which had been in the habit of selling “refreshments” on Sunday were closed down, the law being strictly en- forced. Tammany is opposed to the en forcement of this law, and has the support of the saloon element, and of many who d not like the Sunday restraint which has marked the present administration of thr city’s affairs. Mr. Hill took up the issue in a plea for non-interference with persona liberty, and sought to make that the issue for the state. The democratic state con vention adopted Mr. Hill's personal liberty ssue in a modified form, and the republican convention, through the influence of War- ier Miller, declared for the sanctity of the Sabbath. In spite of all efforts on both sides to find other issues and to avold this, t has been the greatest question in the campaign, and will have most to do with the result. A victory now would not give Tammany control of the local government of New York city, a thing they most want, and the legislature is extremely important to them, and a victory now would put them in shape to overthrow the reform administration when the time comes along. Some idea of how New York state can be counted on for the presidential election is expected to be irawn from the result now. The Maryland Campaign. The Maryland campaign hus come down to a question of Gorman and anti-Gorman. The result is generally regarded us doubt- ful, and is awaited with great interest. There is a full state ticket to be elected, and the legislature now chosen will select the successor to Senator Gibson. The peo- ple’s party and the prohibitionists each has a ticket in the field, but they do not count in the contest. Though few demo- crats doubt that the loss of Maryland this fall would foreshadow the election of a fe- publican President in ‘i, the, feeling .gainst Senator Gorman is so strong amor.g a certain set of democrats that they are willing to risk everything, even permanent css of the state, to accomplish his over- throw. Most of the anti-Gorman demo- rats belong to the Cleveland wing of the party, and at the start an attempt was made to directly involve the national ad- ministration in the fight. ‘This failed, how- ever, inasmuch as Mr. Cleveland remain- ed perfectly silent. This silence was con- strued to indicate sympathy with the bolt- ing “Cleveland democrats,” until Senator Gray of DelawWare,one of the closest friends of the President in the Senate, took the stump for Mr. Hurst, the democratic can- didate, and declared that his defeat would be a blow to the national administration. Whatever the platform declarations of the two parties may be, the issue, as the voters generally understand it, is the question of Mr. Gorman’s control of the politics of the state. The question with the anti-Gorman democrats is whether preserving the state to the democracy is worth their giving a victory to Gorman. The hopes of the re- publicanas, who express great confidence, is based upon the anti-Gorman feeling. Trouble in Kentucky. In Kentucky an administration and anti- administration division of their party en- dangers the loss of the state to the demo- crats and encourages the republicans to hopes of victory. There is to be a full state ticket, including the legislature,which will choose Senator Blackburn's successor, to be elected. The fight in the democratic party, wich threatens them with a loss of the state, began over the silver question at the primaries. Senator Blackburn, who is seeking re-election, and Hardin, who was finally nominated for governor, are silver men, and the, state was supposed to 2 a silver state. Mr. Carlisle went into the fight to capture a majority of the dele- gates to the convention for the adminis- tration’s position in favor of “sound money.” This started an administration and anti-administration fight, which result- ed in a victory for the administration to the extent of their getting a deciaration from the convention by a large majority indorsing Mr. Cleveland's anti-silver policy. But on top of this Mr. Hardin, a free silver man, was nominated for governor. It was supposed that when he accepted the nomi- nation on a platform which was a redecla- ration of that on which Mr. Cleveland was elected President, that he would abandon free silver and accept the declared fatih of the convention. In: of this he de- clared that the ‘ancl of the Chi- cago platform, which Teadopted by the convention, favored fee silver and that Mr. Cleveland misconstrued it. He then proceeded to make free silver speech- es. Now it is a question with the “sound money” or administration democrats whether they shall elect a man with whoin they disagree or whether they shall give the state to the republicans. ‘The admin- istration is represented as unfriendly to the democratic candidate, and it is uncertain whether Mr. Cleveland would not prefer the loss of the state to the election of a free silver man. Meanwhile Blackburn has been making a vigorous cumpaign for re-election on a platform of his own making, of free silver and anti-administration. It is generally conceded that he has been making prog- ress, and is so far in the lead of any other candidate that his re-election is the most probable thing in the whole situation. The republicans have a strong candidate in W. O. Bradley, and are very hopeful of electing him, and think they have some chance of carrying the legislature. Chief Interest in Ohio. ‘The chief interest in the Ohio campaign is that the senatorship, to succeed Senator Brice, is Involved, and that the fate of a THE OFREECIAL WEATHER MAP.

The democrats, on the face of it, would seem to have no chance of suc- cess, But Campbell, their candidate for governor, is a very popular man and has won before, and is now making such a can- vass that his party are predicting his elec- lion. There is a full state ticket and the legislature to be elected. If, the democrats carry the legislature it meang the return of Brice to the Senate. If G9 yell. should chance to be elected governgy It is believed that it would make him Yhe democratic candidate for the presidendy, ind, at the same time, the loss of the $tat¢ to the re- publicans would probably p&t ap end to all McKinley’s kopes of the repuJican nomi- nation. One thing that encoutiges the viem- ocrats to make a vigorous effpit to carry the state is that secret antagonism between Foraker and McKinley is expected to oper- ate to Campbell's advantage, ;, Other States Iowa will elect a full list of state officers, including state legislaturg,.*qvhich will choose the successor to Senator: Allison.

Today the verdict of the scientific world as to its great economic value for light, heat and pewer seems to be accepted not only by the general pub- lic, but by the old gas interests as well. The fact that the Chicago Gas Trust, a combination of all the gas companies in that city, has purchased the exclusive right to manufacture and use the new gas in Chicago aprears tu be a complete recogni- tion of its merits by the old coal and water gas interests. We are informed that this purchase was made after the most thor- ovgh and exhaustive tests of acetylene gas at the Chicago works, which conclu- sively established its great value. The public have not been slow to see the significance of this transaction, and the demand for territory and shares has been sharply increased. At Philadelphia the shares‘bf‘@ local com- pany were subscribed sevqral times over upon the formal opening of| he, books, and have since been at a 2 are gl on the stock ACETY- exchange.

WANTED (Situations) MORE HOPEFUL NOW Kentucky Democrats Acquire a More Cheerful Feeling. MAKING APPEARS TOGET OUT THE VOTE What the Leaders cn Both Sides Expect. COL. BRADLEY’S EXPECTATION gs Special From a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, November 1.—As election day draws nearer there is an increase of hopeful fecling among democrats that the party wil! be successful at the polls next Tuesday. This feeling is said to be the result of the discovery that there will not be as riuch “scratching” of the ticket as was at first feared. It is said the party managers haye learn- ed thet the threatened bolt from Mr. Har- dir on account of his free silver position dces not extend to the ranks of the demo- cratic workers, but exists largely among a few prominent demecrats, who, while con- spicuous in their threatening attitude, would not carry much weight on election day. It is claimed also that some of the men who threatened to scratch or who were suspected of an intention to do so have changcd their minds and, will vote the straight ticket. It is said that the attention of the sound meney men who were under suspicion has been called to the fact that next Tuesday's democratic vote will form the basis of representation in the next convention, and that if the sound money districts go back on the ticket the sound money representa- tion at the next convention will be just that much smaller. It is alleged that this prsumene has been used to considerable ef- ect. It is also said that the proportions as- sumed by the republican campaign and the growing prospect of a republican vic- tory have brought many democrats to a realization of the danger confronting them. What Both Sides Expect. To the public the democratic leaders are claiming a majority of 25,000 for next Tues- day, but they really believe they will pull through by 7.000 or 8,000. It may be stated positively that the republiean man- agers do not expect t> carry a majority of the legislative candidates. This is ad- -mitted privately. They do believe, however, that they’ will ele€t a republican governor by 12,600 to 00 and the other state officers by proba- bly smaller majorities. They think Col- onel Bradley will run ahead of the ticket. They think there is a possibility of their gaining more legislative candidates than now seems likely, for the reason that in some districts the free silver democrats threaten to scratéh the sound money legis- lative candidates in retaliation for the threats against Mr. Hardin. The republi- cans clirg to this as only a hope, ho ever, and do not take it into serious ac- count in making their calculations. Proceeding upon this assumption that the democratic legislative ticket will be elected, the republicans are holding out proposals of a deal with the sound money demo:rats looking to the election af a sound money Senator. This is being done upon the theory that the sound money democrats will do what the administration wants, and upon the supposition that the administration is more interested in defeating the free sil- ver candidate for Senator than any other phase of the political situation in Kentucky. The proposition is this: That the sound money democrats all over the state shall scratch Mr. Hardin and his ticket and vote for the republican state ticket. Then if it is found that the free silver men predominate in the legislature a combination is .0 be made between the republican legislators ard the sound money democrats for the gelection of a Senator acceptable to the administra- tion. This scheme originated among the republicans, but how it is being received by the other party at issue or whether it will be carried out cannot now be learned. Col, Bradley Confident. Col. Bradley, the republican candidate for governor, is exceedingly confident of re- ceiving a safe majority next Tuesday. When, :n the course of an interview I had with him yesterday, he was asked to give the basis for his confidence, he replied: “In, the first place I expect an overwhelming eutpouring of republican voters this time. There have always been more republicans in Kentucky than people imagined, but they became so accustomed to being defeated they got so they would not come out to the polls. Last year, when they were forced out by the ne- cessity of doing something to relieve the country and their own condition, they sur- prised themselves at the result.’ The tctal republican vote of the state was but two thousand less than the democratic. “This year they realize they have a splen- did chance for victory and they will turn out to a man and make the fight. I do not know to what extent we will profit by democratic disaffection growing out of their platform and their candidate, but my advices are that there will be heavy scratching. I do not depend upon this, however, to make our majority, for I think we could win without it, But it will increase the size of our ma- jority. The attendance at republican meet- ings throughout thestate and éspecially the enthusiasm displa; at these gatherings points unmistakably to a republican victory. We have no divisions in our ranks, although we have free silver men as well as the other side. I have met that issue squarely, how- ever, stood right up for sound money, and I believe even our silver men will stand by the state platform on this issue. ‘The democrats have claimed that I would lose negro votes through my posi- tion on the propoged negro equality bill. When it comes to the touch between the republicans and the democrats as to the civil rights of. the negro, the black man will not hesitate to trust his rights to the republicans. I have said openly that I am opposed to the negro equality law, and I am. This law, to be modeled after that in force in New York, would admit the negro to equal privileges with the white man in bath rooms, restaurants, theaters and ho- tels. If the law were passed it would not be tolerated in the south. If the negro attempted to use the white man’s bath tub, or sit at the same table with him in the south, there would be bloodshed and the negro would suffer. 1 would veto that law in an instant. In doing so I would be saving negro lives. “However, I am opposed to the separate coach act for negroes and it ought to be repealed.” At the moment we were on the train and at the end of the car was a big placard reading: ‘Fer white passengers only.” “You see that?” said Col. Bradley, “we pay the same fare the negro does and ride in this coach, while he sits In a place par- titioned off frem the smoking car. That is not right. There is no objection to riding with the negro in the street cars, but they say he cannot be allowed to ride with the white man ir a railway car. It is not right to give him inferior accommodations on a train for the price of first-class ones.” The negro question is being brought to the front and Col. Bradley catches it going and coming. The white man is warned that the republicans want to abolish separate coaches and the negroes are told he is opposed to the equality law. On top of this is raised the general cry of the ne- gro dcmination through republican su- premacy, so the democrats think it will be queer if they can “ot get some comfort out of the situation.
