Roberts spoké of the charges against Blalr, and sald that as mall matter had been transmitted in the transaction of cer- tain ‘of Blair's business, it was probably an indictable offense.

BEFORE BALLOTS ARE CAST Poreoast of Probable Result in Oontests of National Interest REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT In Ohie Demoerats Only Claim Elee- tion of Legislature, Oonced the State Tioket to the Republican Party. CINCINNATI, Oct. $L.—The campaign in Ohio is practically closed tonight, with rallies everywhere. The election Tuesday Is for a full state ticket and members of the legislature that selects a successor to United States Sen- ator Hanna. ¥or the first time in Ohlo the two parties have had nominees for sen- ator. The republican state conyentions of 16% and 191 endorsed Foraker for sen- ator and those®of 1897 and 1903 endorsed Hanna for senator. Ohlo democrats never made an endorsement until last: August, when John P, Clarke of Cleveland was en- dorsed. The senatorial fight in Ohio h predominated over state affairs. John P. Clarke's . speeches have been directed against Senator Hanna. Mayor Tom L. Johnson and other democratic speakers have also made Hanna the target of their attacks. 1 Senator Hanna aimed his speeches at Mayor Johnson more than at his senatorial opponent. Johnson was charged with being the real candidate for senator as well as for governor and prospectively a candidate for the democratic nomination for presi- dent next vear, The fepublicans have brought into the campalgn many prominent speakers, in- cludffig senators and ~congressmen from other states, but no unusual interest was manifested except at the meetings of Hanna, who has been a greater drawing card than ever before. With the exception of Bryan, the democrats have had very few prominent men on the stump. None of the old leaders In Ohio or from other states participated. The indications are that Johnson will got most of the socialist votes, which was over 17,000 last year, but it is doubtful if the whole of that vote would equal his democratic losses. All predictions are that the republicans will elect their state ticket by & large plurality and the only clalm of the democrats is for the legislature. Forecast of New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.—Three days before the municipal election well Informed men on either side find themselves unable to predict the outcome of the election, It seems probable that the election will be very close and that a few thousand votes will decide whether Seth Low or George B. McClellan will bs mayor for the next two years. Willlam 8. Devery, who is run- ning independently, is not regarded serl- ously as a candidate. All the leaders today fssued estimates of large majorities for thelr tickets, Charles E. Murphy, claiming the election of the democratic ticket by 100,000. M. Linn Bruce and R. Fulton Cut- ting declared that Low will be elected by about 32,00, as many as in 1901, or per- haps more, and even Devery sald that his election s certain. It is known, however, that none of them has confidenee in his published estimates and that either side looks for the election of its candidate by a small plurality. Not only :he return of the democrats the control of the city's government, but the leadership of Murphy in .Tammany Hall, is involved in the struggle. Murphy, it 1s generally belleved, was placed in the leadership by Richard Croker and it is thoyght\ that defeat would mean his dep- osition. 4 Little In t in Colorade, DENVER, Oct. - 8l—Little interest. has been ‘taken by the general public in the campaign preceding the election of a judge of the state .supreme court, which will be held mnext Tuesday. No public meetings. have been held and the electloneering work has been confined almost entirely to the newspapers. The lMst of nominations for the judgeship follows: Demoecrat, Adair Wilson; repub- fican, John Campbell; populist, Frank W, Oweta; socialist, “hanning Sweet; soclalist- labor, I. N. Knight. Either Campbell, who is at present ghlef Justico, or Wilson, a former judse of the court of appeals, will be elected. Owers' candidacy 1s regarded as helpful to the republican candidate, just as his candidacy for the governorship was a year ago. The vote undoubtedly will be light, and the r sult cannot be told until the votes are counted. Outlook in lows. DES MOINES, Ia., Oct. 3l.—Interest in the lowa campaign, which closed tonight, was centralized in a number of contests in districts, | representative and senatorial Factional contests among republicans in several counties have led the democrats to expect to Increase their vote in the legl lature, Apathy as to the state campaign caudes & light vote to be generally pre- dicted, with an attendant reduction in the republican’ plurality. Chatrman Spence- of the republicun state committée predicts a plurality for Governor Cummins of not less' than 60,000. Chairman Jackson of the democratic committee says Cummiing' plu- Mty will not exceed 80,000. = Rhode Island Campaign. PROVIDENCE, R. I, Oct. 31.—The state political campaign Wwas practically con- cluded tonight. On Tuesday Rhode Island will vote for all statd offieers, including members of the legislature, Governor s ¥. C. Garvin of Cumberiand, the first dem- ocratic chiet executive of the state in twelve years, who defeated the republican nominee last year by 7,50 plurality, is ecandidate for re-election, and the leader of his party say he has lost no ground. The republican candidate 1s Colone! 8. P. Colt of Providence, whose popularity is thought to be sufficient to overcome the democratic plurality obtained last year. How It Looks in Massach: e, BOBTON, Oct. 31.=The 1903 campalgn was practically closed tonight. The democrats Rold that their candidate for governor, Colone!

Bates will be elected by & dafe plurality warm in Old Kentueky. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 3. ~A fiying trip from Covington into Loulsville, with numeroys speoches cnroute, brought to a close the campaign of Governor J. C. W. Beckham for re-clection. His republican opponent, Colonel Morris Belknap, who is & wealthy Loulsville business man and a Spanish war veteran, wound up his seven weeks' work by & speech at the Auditorium tonight. The contest has been remarkable for its vigor, and has been chardoterized by con- siderable bitterness. Colonel Belknap made his fight principally on the pardon record of Governor ‘Beckham, while the eory of thé democrats has been that & vote for Belkngp meant the pardoning of those convicted of the murder of Governor Goe- bel, False registration In Loulsville has been charged by both sides and yesterday the rapublicans swore out 160 warranis which they ssy they will have served on election day when those charged with illegal regis- tration appear to cast their bLallots. It is believed that the democrats will carry Loulsville by 3,000 to 5000, but the repub- licans claim they will carry the smaller Rewns by enough to offset this. The se- Hotime contreseman, from. the. Bievanth congressman from the Bleventh district, will nog take place uptil 10. This district is strongly republican. Salt Lake's Warm Onmpaign. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 81.--The present municipal has been one of the most hotly pontested since the days of the old liberal and church pafties. Charges that the Mormon church was teking an active part, and the reflection of many republican leaders, headed by Na- tional Commiitteeman ‘Saulsbury, have re- sulted in considerable bitterness and the largest registration ever known here. R. P. Morris, present county recorder, Is the democratic candidate for mayor. Frank Knox, a banker, heads the republican ticket, Both Claim Maryland. BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.—The campaign in Maryland, which closed tonight, was al- most unprecedented in the history of the state for enthusiasm and partisan activity. John R.

PARIS, Oct. 3L.—(New York World Cable- gram—8pecial Telegram.)—Now that the royal guests have gone Parislans are talk- ing about an event that was glossed over during the visit out of politeness. At the grand review it was noticed that the king of Italy did not mount his horse before the multitude. Le Criade Paris says that the horse was led into a tent, where the king stepped on a stool, his legs not being long enough to mount from the ground, and adds that for a week prior to the king's arrival the smallest pupll at the Beole de Saumur practiced mounting the horse from a low stool wearing in his hat lofty nodding plumes, such as the King wore later at the review, with the idea of hahituating the horse to stand still while the king thus mounted, The paper says podeibly the king only walked his horee before the troops hecause of a fear of pessibilities should a holder gait be attémpted, and thinks an equestrian statue to.the king would be out of place. The same paper says that Genetal Andre, mounted on a magnificent white horse, was regarded as imitating Boulanger, and fre- quent cries of “Vive Boulanger!" were heard.

Report of Postal Auditor, Various recommendations to cure defects in accounting methods under which abuses have occurred are made by Henry A. Castle, auditor for the Postoffice de- partment In his annual report to the sec- retary of the treasury and the postmaster general. He says that the defects pointed out make infinitely greater postal abuses than those already disclosed not only pos- sible, but The report says the ag- gregate transactions of the nostal service during the flscal year were §1,026,731,408, as tullows: Revenues, $134,024,443; expenditures, $138,784,488; total amount of money orders issued, $358,865,684; money orders paid, $364,- : “Presumptively there is a 'doublé audit' of all governmental re- celpts hnd disbursements, but, literally, under existing laws and conditions, %0 per cent of the postal transactions can have no examination whatever in the Postoffice depdrtment, Less than $160,00,00 of the $1,000,000,000 annual transsctions can have the shadow of a ‘double auart’ As to claims for rallway transportation aggregating about- $40,000000 a year; the re- port says, the auditor must rely wholly on the bald statement of tho Iepartment authorities that the amounts cortified are due and payabk To Stop Grafting. The auditor recommends that congress amend the laws so-as to provide when ny branch of the government desires to use a patented articlg in the public service some just mothod of declding on the value of that article, based on cost of manufac- ture, reasonable profit and fair royalty, and that the same can be fixed as the price to be pald therefor. The manufacturer would doubtless in all cases be willing to accept the price thus established. He would have no motive for offering bribes to any officfal for approving the sale, and the government would secure the desired improvement at & minimum cost. If the manufacturer should refuse the price thus established, provision might be made for invalidating the patent as to articles re- quired for the public service. This recommendation is based on the al- leged criminal practices, for which trials e now pending. for attempts in every in- nce, the auditor says, have occurred in the purchase of articles covered by pat- ents, and as to which the general principle prevailing in purchasing government sup- plies on dompetitive bids cannot be en- forced. 3 As to Jew!

It is that the receipts and ex- penditures of the government for the first four months of the present fiscal year are practically the same, the surplus beihg sg small as to be only & fraction of the ag- gregate. One year ago the surplus for the same months of the fiscal year was $13,500,000, to which $5,000,000 of anticipated interest should properly be added, making a tetal of almost exactly one-third of that for the entire flscal year, which finally stood at $4,000,000. There is no simllar anticlpa- ti8n of interest during the four months of this fiscal year, and therg s practigally no surplus. The total receipts for the fiscal year have been about §190,397,2%5, and the expenditures $189,511,097, leaving .a sur- plus of about #86,000. An wnalysis of the statement shows that the practical wiping oGt of the eurplus is die not only 1o & decrease in the receipts, but also t an increase of expenditures. The customs receipts fell oft about 35,000,000, while the expenditures of several departments in- creased slightly. In addition, to those nat- ural increases 35,000,000 was paid out in ald of the Louistana Puschase exposition.
