BIG MAJORITY FOR MKINLEY LIKELY + It is Said That in Private the Dem- ocrats Concede the State. THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHTS ——_e___ Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. DETROIT, Mich., October 11, 1895. Michigan -has been considered a doubt- ful state from the beginning of the cam- paign: and in public the followers of Bryan declare their ability to hand the fourteen electoral votes of the state over to their favorite. Privately, however, the more level-headed politicians, even among the free silver people, concede defeat, placing the probable majority of McKinley and Hobart anywhere above 15,000. Mr. Sew- all's private and confidential correspond- ence, if it could be made public, would dis- close to view a letter written by one of the most prominent silver editors and politi- cians in Michigan, in which he concedes the election of McKinley by twenty, thirty or forty thousand, and bases his predic- tion on the indifference of the chairman of the democratic state committee and the utter lack of organization which has mark- ed the democratic work. It ts not true, however, that work has not been done by silverites in this state, nor that it has been ineffective. In every school district local orators have started up and are going about iterating and reiterating the falla- cles and misstatements contained tn Coin's Financial School. Smooth talkers from Kentucky have taken off their coats liter- ally and talked to small gatherings of farmers, telling them how they have been neglected and oppressed by the people in the cities. This work has been made the more effective by reason of the fact that ex-Gov. Luce, for four years the farmer- governor of Michigan, has always been a jamity howler; and while now he strenu- ously maintains that he intends to vote for McKinley, he loses no opportunity to abuse the financial plank of the St. Louis plat- form. Greenbackinm in a New Form. It is 1 t to be forgotten that greenback- ism ana prohibition have always found pro- ductive soil in the peninsular state; and the present silver craze is simply a revival of greenbackism in its worst form. It is in the counties where the greenback mania was most deeply seated that there are to- day the most devotees of silver; but it is not true that counties as a whole are smit- ten. For instance, in Barry county, which is badly afflicted at present, the little burg ealled Assyria Center orfginated the first greenback club in Michigan; also the first lodge of the Patrons of Industry, and the first populist organization and the first free silver club started in the same town, and spread over the same townships, leaving other parts of the county in a compara- tively healthy condition. That portion of the state north of a line drawn west from Saginaw bay ts particu- larly free from republican defeetion; and the upper peninsula, where the great cop- r and iron mines are situated, is ex- ed to give from ten to eighteen thou- sand majority in faver of McKinley. ‘The cities also are In good shape, and the state may safely be counted on to give its votes for t publican candidates. © Congressional Campaign. The republicans now have a solid delega- tion in Congress, and the fight at present is to maintain an unbroken number. In the first district Mr. Corliss is a candidate for re-election, and will probably have a majority exceeding 5,000. In the second district, where Gen. Spalding is again a candidate (with the same opponent he had two years ago), the chances are in his favor, although the district is normally democratic. In the third district, where Mr. Milnes is aiso running against his for- mer opponent, the fight is very close, and a victory cannot yet be claimed by either je. The fourth district is regarded as safe for the republfcan candidate, E. L Hamilton, a very vigorous young cam paigner. In the fifth district, Mr. William Alden Smith is sure of re-election; but in the sixth district the silver seeds sown b Congressman Aitken are now being ha vested by Mr. S. W. Smith, the republican nominee. This is the closest district im the siate. Congressman Snover represents a doubtful district, but is more than likely to be re-elected. In the eighth district Con- sman Linton is regarded as safe, and me thing is true of Congressman in the ninth. In the tenth Co ‘sman Crump cannot as yet see his way clear to re-election; but the eleventh, not- ce Bishop tiot counties, is counted as sure for the new republican candidate, Mr. S. W. Mesick. The twelfth district will give Mr. Shelden (who has been nominated to suc- ceed Congressman Stephenson) a large ma- jority over his opponent, ex-Congressman Henry W. Seymour, a former republican. Mr. Seymour is a winter resident of Wash- ngton. A Hot Fight Waxed. The campaign that Is being waged by the republicans has never before been equaled in the history of the state. Documents have been distributed by the million, so that the per capita circulation equals two for every man, woman and child from Lake Superior to the Ohio and Indiana line. One hundred and ten speakers are now at work under the auspices of the state central committee, and this number is multiplied several times by the local speakers called into action. In the city of Detroit a series of noon meetings attracts from 1,000 to 1,200 people every day, busi- ness men, lawyers and doctors doing the speaking. One of the most powerful forces at work in the campaign is the organiza- tion of sound money democrats under the leadership of ex-Postmaster General Don M. Dickinson. Among the speakers se- cvred by this organization are Palmer and Buckner, Bourke Cockran, Carl Schurz and Gen. Irish of California. A township canvass made simultaneously in every township in the state, by the re- publican state central committee, shows that on October 10 three democrats and prohibitionists had announced their inten- tion to vote for McKinley to every republi- can who fs inclined to favor Bryan. This proportion is increasing with every day, and the organization of sound money clubs now covers a majority of the counties of the lower peninsula. While, therefore, there is always an ele- ment of uncertainty in any conflict where so much Is at stake, the success of the re- publican ticket is already well assured in Michigan. es Fusion on congressional nominations be- ‘ween sound money democrats and rep:ib- lieans in five Alabama districts is com- plete.

Church meets next year at Baltimore, and that the Foreign Missionary Society has al- ready received an invitation to have its annual meeting there, and that as it is regarded as undesirable to impose the work of entertaining the members of both mis- sionary societies on the same, ladies in any city, it might be better for the Home So- ciety to meet in some other place than Baltimore in 1897. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Mary E. Brown, showed the receipts for the nine months ending June 30, the close of the fiscal year, to be $10,589.94, which was $136.77 more than the entire twelve months previous, and was divided as follows; From Washington district, $4,548.48; Baltimore, $1,965.92; East Baltimore, $762.18; West Bal- timore, $2,772.81; Frederick, $337.96; confer- ence donations, $127; collections, $58.24; balance of contingent. fund, $17.35; total, $10,589.94.

McDonald W: Be Elected—Speculation as to Ex-Gov. Brown. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, October 12, 1896. The first Maryland delegation to visit Major McKinley at his home left here for Canton Friday evening. A number of indi- vidual pilgrims from this state have paid their respects to the great apostle of pro- tection and sound money, but this was the first organized body of local enthusiasts to wake the trip. The party comprised the Grand Army Club of Maryland and num- bered 400 persons. A second party, organ- ized under the auspices of the Wage Earn- ers’ League, will make the trip this week. Local republicans are interested in the lively contest for the associate judgeship of the seventh judicial’ circuit, which has recently arisen. Mr. George E. Lowerv of Vrince George's county, who is at present assistant secretary of state under Governor Lowndes, is regarded as having the best chance Of appointment, and a petition is in circuiation asking the governor to name him as Judge brooke’s successer when the term of office expires next month. who ure seeking the place are Mr. Snowden Hill of Prince George's, ex- collector of the internal revenue; State's Attorney Adrian Posey of Charles county, and Mr. George H. Merrick of Prince George’: The inpopularity of Mayor Hooper amcng the regular republicans of Balti- more has become exceedingly augmented by the, contirmation of a rumor that the mayor intended to scratch Councilman Potter, whose recent renomination by the republicans of the twenty-second ward re- veals the vigor of the combine, and vote for his demucrauc oppouent, ex-Counci man James H. Smith. ‘This report, which Mr. Hooper cheerfully corroborates, has created Intense indignation and considera- ble anxi-ty among the combine workers, for the Hooper influence is still stroug over some of the voters in North Baltimore, and the factory hands in the Woodberry mills, it is thought, will, in many lutsances, follow his example. Democrats are puzzled to know upon which side to place ex-Governor Frank Brown, who has just returned from ‘u- rope. All efforts to draw him out on poli- tics have thus far proved signal failures. The ex-governor has returned too late to register, but it is believed that this and the consequent deprivation of his vote has been the result of design rather than negli- gence. At all events the fact that he is not qualified to cast a ballot aids him in sustaining the attitude he has assumed nd frees him from the demands of both Sides,’ with which he would otherwise Le troubled. Ex-Senator Wootten of Montgomery county, although a life-long democrat, can- not his way to suporting Bryan and the Chicago platform Mr. Wootten de- clares that Montgomery will give less than half the democratic majority this fall which is usually roiled up at presidential electicns. He attribues the falling off to the num- ber of voting democrats who will either vote for McKinley or support Palmer and Buckner. He intends to pursue the latter course hin self. Mr. Alexander R. Hagner of Hagers- town told The Star correspondent that Washington county would give 1,000 ma- jority for McKinléy. Dr. C. E. 8. McKee of the same place, who is a promincat democrat, corroborated Mr. Hagner's state- ment. Mr. Hagner,-although defeated by Capt. John McDonald in the Rockville con- vention, intends to take the stump and says he wilt ‘do ail in his“power to aid in electing his successful competitor. He sa: the majority for Capt. McDonald in district will be at least 3,000. ——— THE POSTAL CARD VOTE. FINANCIAL. ae eas CABAAYPAKE AND FOTOMAG e Compans.—A div! of one dojlar, share will be on the 26th day of OCT).

The New York Herald's dispatch from Chicago today says: Vo! from the agri- cultural districts and the other cities of Illinois, too, have been coming in with surprising rapidity, and it is probable that the counting of tomorrow will include a portion of these. Missouri voters are even more prompt than was to be expected in returning their ballots, and it is possible that the tables tomorrow may include the first returns from that state. ‘The percentage comparison of the votes received in 1896 and 1892 by the two demo- cratic and the two republican candidates in Chicago and Cicero in the postal card bal- lot is: Bryan, 20; Cleveland, 56; McKinley, 76; Harrison, 41. The Revenue Cutter Windom. The revenue cutter Windom, the latest addition to that service, has been assigned to duty on the Baltimore station, which includes the Potomac river within its lim- its. The vessel is now making her first cruise in the Chesapeake and the Poto- mac, and will probably visit this city in a few days. The Windom is 180 feet in length, 20 feet beam and is propelled by twin screws, driven by triple engines. On deck she carries one six-pounder and two three- pound rapid fire guns. The Windom is in ecmmand of Captain William H. Hand. Previous to the civil war he was a mas- ter in merchant vessels. Since then he has commanded the Smith, McLane and Crawford in the revenue service. He is a deecendant of General Hard, who was Washington's chief of staff. a $OGd OOF PEMD RH IDG LL DDE OD Cochran—E.
