The posterior half of the cerebral turnisplures were nmrh congested and the subarachnoid pace tilled with a wine-colored and gelatinous fluid. All the cranial nerves were normal; the cranial rarity contained about three ounces of bloody lluid; the brain weighed forty ounces the anterior lobes were adherent the anterior and potftceutral convolutions were normal (right side); tbe left slightly depressed. The parietal convolutions were markedly atrophied; there was white softening of the anterior lobes and the ventricles contained but little fluid the choroid paxus was cystic, showed a small tumor upon the right, the size of a pea; all the cerebral gauylia seemed normal to the unaided eye; the cerebellum, pons and medulla had a normal appearance; all the cerebral arteries were uniform and normal in appearance. In scraping the adherent dara from the baserof the skull the lella turcua was found meresed and pliable, and traces of fracture and disease were. distinctly marked at Inner third of petrous portion of left temporal bone, extending across to the opposite side. There were likewise marks of erosion Infernally opposite occipital protuberance. The brain did not completely fill the cranial cavity and the general condition was that of atrophey.
GLADSTONE OX HIS WA HOME. Enthusiastic Receptions at Several Points on His Journey to Ilawarden. , London, Nov. 3. Mr. Gladstone started on his return to Ilawarden from Scotland to-day. When the train on which he was traveling reached Montrose, a large number of his friends were in waiting and they gave him an enthusiastic reception. This ccene was repeated at Arbrotb. A number of his admirers presented- him with a walking stick. a and a luncheon basket. When Peebles was reached the train was met by a large crowd, and a delegation of workingmen presented Mr. Gladstone with a traveling rug. Here Mr. Gladstone delivered a snort address, in tbe course of which he referred to the speech made by Lord Ilartington at the Liberal-Unionist meeting at Edinburghon Friday. Lord Ilartington, Mr. Gladstone said, was .evidently not well satisfied with the result of his doctrines. The only doubt in Lord Hartington's mind was whether the time had arrived to surr, render. The Liberal-Unionist party. Mr. Gladstone declared, was broken dowi and the followers of it were dreadfully broken up by the results of recent by .elections for members of tbe House of Commons, which were most satisfactory to tL Liberals. Mr. Gladstone has declined to stand as a candidate for the rectorship of the University of Aberdeen. He gives his advanced age as his reason for declining the .nomination. The present incumbent of the office is the Kt. lion. G. J. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Conflict Between Turks and Armenians. Constantinople, Nov. 3. An encounter has occurred between a detachment of Turkish troops and a band of armed Armenians near Erzengan. seventy-five miles southwest of Erzerouin, in Armenia. Seven of the soldiers were killed and fifteen were wounded. Acting under an order issued by the Sultan, the Governor of Erzeroum summoned all the Moslems to the mosques, where exhortations were read in regard to their treatment of Christians. In the exhortations the Christians were termed brothers and the Moslem was called upou to treat them with respect. They also declared that the Sultan was determined to protect the Christians within his dominions. The Czar Frightened. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3. During a circus performance here, which was attended by the Czar and the members of his family, one of the trained horses suddenly became vicious and made an attack on M. Giniselli, the manager of the circus. The horse knocked the man down and bit him and trampled upon him, mangling him in a terrible manner in full view of the spectators. Tbe Czar and his family abruDtly withdrew from the imperial box and left tbe building. A general panic among the spectators followed, and tbe performance was closed. Denied Keligious Rites. London, Nov. 3. Accounts from Macedonia represent that many painful scences have been witnessed in that province as a result of the closing of the Greek churches. The Grvek clergy refuse to attend upon the dying or tbe dead. At Sinek Ilissar the peasantry mobbed a priest because he relused to minister at a funeral, the priest narrowly escaping serious violence. The bearers left the body at the gate of the cemetery, and would not proceed with the interment owing to the denial of religious rites. Hurricane at Sea. London, Nov. 3. The American steamer Pennsylvania, Captain Thomas, from Philadelphia October 22, arrived at Queenstown to-day and proceeded for Liverpool. She reports that during tho voyago she encountered a hurricano which lasted forfour day. The wind created heavy seas, one of -which boarded the steamer, smashing a lifeboat. To avoid accidents to the passengers they were kept below decks for sixty hours during the storm. Imprisoned for Photographing a Witness. Tippkraky, Nov. 3. During'tbo proceedings in the conspiracy trial here todiy Patrick O'Brien attempted to photograph a witness who was testifying before tbe court. He was taken into custody and arraigned before the magistrates, who adjudged him guilty of coutempt of court and sentenced him to one week's imprisonment. The witness made no objection to having his photograph taken. Doty Reduced on Wheat and Rye. Berlin, Nov. 4. The tariff negotiations between Germany and Austria have resulted in a reduction to three marks of the duties on rye and wheat imported from countries having commercial treaties with Germany and Austria containing the 'most favored-nation clause. This will include the imports of those cereals from the United States and exclude those from ltussia. Spaum of Morality in London. London, Nov. 3. At the iustigation of the vigilance association, the police to-day entered the Pall Mall gallery and seized a number of alleged obscene paintings illustrating Kabelai'a -works. Tbe paiutinga were taken to the Bow-street police sta tion. The public has been daily crowding tne gallery. Cable Notes. Emperor William will personally attend the opening of the newly-restored Wittenburg Church, on the door of which Luther first posted his famous thesis. Lieutenant Schmidt,' who was tried by the Russian government on the charge of betraying the plans of Cronstadt to a for eign power, has been found guilty and iianged. The Russian government has decided to commence work on the transsiberian rail way without delay, using at first the re sources of the treasury and . afterwards raising an internal loan for the purposes. Deposits in National Banks. . Washington. Nov. a The president of the National Kevere Bank, of Boston, recently wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, saying that the published report of Oct. 31 showed a deposit with the national banks of 29,000.(i00, an increase of S5.000.000 since the report of Oct. 15. and asking if tbe department is increasing deposus who national nanns. secretary Windom replied to him as follows: The moneys on deposit with national banks consist or tunas to tno credit ol tne Treasurer of tbe United fctates and to the credit of the United fctates disbursing officers. The amount reported on Oct. 15. 1H90, included onlx moneys subject to tne ararta or tne united states Treasurer, while that reported Get. 31 included, also, funds subject to the checks of tbe United fctates disbursing officer. Instead of increasing deposits with national banks the department is -w ithdrawing them as fast as It can be done, without injury to tho com mercial interests or the country. Of course, owing to Irregularity in the receipts and disburse ments by national banks, the moneys on deposit xiierewiin mictuate m amount, nut there was no permanent increase between the dates named. Drowned In J I nil f.ate. New York, Nov. 3.

TERRIBLE BLUNDER B Y ABOY
YouthfnlOperatorCansesaSeriousriailway Collision Kear Syracuse, N. Y. He Threw a Switch That He Should Hare Left Untouched, and tbe Kesult Was the Loss of Four Lives and Injury to Others. Syracuse, N. Y., Not. a An accident most horrible in detail occurred on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad at Rock Cut, a station about three miles south of this city, through the undue officiousness of a boy telegraph operator by the name of M. A. Clark. The accident occurred at about 5:40 this afternoon, and the blunder of the operator resulted in the death of four persons, the injury of many others, and the destruction of several thousand dollars' worth of the rolling stock of the road. ' The New York and Pacific day express train from the south, which is due in Syracuse at 5:55 P. M., passes Rock Cut at 5:40. It does not stop there, but passes the station at the u sural rate of speed, which is about forty miles an hour. Before the express was due at Rock Cut two coal trains from Syracuse had arrived at tho station, and had been run in on a switch on the north side of the main track. Tho engine on the first train that went m on the switch stood pretty well up towards the east end of the sidetrack. Engineer James Doyle, of Scranton, Pa.t of the coal train, was in the cab of his engine waiting for the express to pass. when he would pull out. Michael Tierney, a brakeman, was also in the cab, cleaning his lantern I'ho second coal train was be hind Doyle's and aboutseventy feet from the caboose of the forward train. Clark, the operator, was in his room iri -ifie station, a few rods east of the switch. Ho was on the lookout for the express. The latter was on time, and, as the head light of its engine came in view, it flashed through Clark's mind that the switch was open, and that if it was not closed the express would dash into the coal train. No sooner did the thought enter his brain than he dashed out of the door, rushed to the switch and swung it over. Then he realized, but too late, his mistake. As the switch was turned tbe express swung on to the side-track, and the crash of the engines spoke the result. Like monsters they ground each other to pieces. The noise of the collision was lost in the cries of the .passengers within the coaches of the express tram. The fireman and engineer of each engine were caught in the wreck and ground to death. Their names were: James Doyle, of Scranton. Pa.: Mvrtie Feruand. his fire man; Michael J. Burke, of Syracuse; Jeremiah Lee, bis hreman. The baggage and express car of the pas senger train turned over into the ditch on the north side of the track. In the car were W. H. Toppenall, of Oswego; George Derby, of Cortland, and Josiab Kimbell. of Oswego. All were more or less injured. though not fatally. Michael lierney was also badly hurt. All the passengers were badly shaken up. though only one was in jured seriously. That one was Mrs.Julia Corcoran, of Bunalo, whose spine was hurt and two of her ribs broken. Miners Killed While on the Track. Irwin, Pa., Nov. 3. The Uniontown ex press east, this evening, ran into a party of Slavonian miners on their way to the Westmoreland Coal Company's mines, instantly killing Joseph Dobosb, aged thirty-four, and Miehael Guidas. aged twenty-nine. A little girl was thrown down tho bank, but "escaped without serious iniurv. Tbe men had been working here about a week, Both leave families m'Lurope. WHAT THE BALLOTS MAY TELL. Concluded from First rage. plurality of about 2,800 votes, the Democrats have good reason to feel confident. In the f wentieth district, which includes five Cleveland wards, all the outside townships in tbe county and the counties of Lake. Lorain. Summit and Huron, Hon. V. A. Taylor, the Republican candidate, is certain to be elected, as the district has a natural Republican plurality of 8,700. I ho euect of the extraordinary session of the Legislature upon the election has genernlltr lipan m tra Tf Mil nil f u voro li In r h T?a publicans, inasmuch as it developed divisions among Democrats, and resnlted in Cincinnati in putting a number of Democrats out of office. Tho polls close at 4 p. m. w .-3 A dispatch from Columbus, 0., says: "The chairmen of the respective State com mittees have completed their work and anxiously await the results of to-morrow's election. So many and varied are the iniluences which have been at work during the campaign that it is with difficulty that the c fleets of each can be estimated, lho Republican committee has endeavored to mako an estimate on reports from all the counties in the Mate, and claim the Mate ticket will be elected bv a plurality of 18,000 on a full average vote. I hey believe a total vote of 70X000 will be polled, which will be divided: Kepubhcan, 377,000; Democratic, 300,000 and Prohibitionists. 23,000. The committee expects to elect nine Congressmen sure, and on a full Republican vote eleven or twelve. The chairman of the Democratic committee saye if the Democratic ticket gets 305,000 votes, tho entire State ticket will be elected by 10,000 plurality. I he committee counts on the election of hfteen Congressmen, though some of them may have .small ma jorities. 1 be committees seem agreed that the Prohibition vote will be the smallest m several years, and will not figure material ly in the result. Tho Democrats hope that the Alliance movement will have a tend ency to rnn Cromley, for Secretary of State. ahead of his ticket, and possibly result in his election, but the Republican committee does not concede this much strength to the movement. It is expected the Alliance will have some effect in the Sixth and Eleventh congressional districts. Dossiblv to the ex. tent of electingtho Republican candidates." iaaw NEW' YORK, STATE AND CITY. Republicans Will Elect the Legislature and Slay Gain Congressmen Mnniclpal Fight. New York, Nov. 3. The election in Now York State to-morrow it for a Judge of the Court of Appeals, two Justices of the Su preme Court, thirty-four members of Con gress and members of the Assembly. Robert Earl, the present incumbent, is the nominee ftr the Court of Appeals judgsbip on the Republican and Democratic tickets As this is the only office to be filled on the general State ticket there is little if any interest in the general vote. The Prohibi tionists and the Socialists' Labor party have candidates in the field, but votes for these will hardly be an appreciable element. The interest centers, therefore, in the vote for Congressmen and also for members ox the Assembly, as the next Legislature will se lect a successor to Senator Evarts. The New York delegation in the Fiftv-first Congress consists of nineteen Repablicaus and fifteen Democrats. The Democrats are hopeful of making some gains, but the Re publicans are equally couhdent that thev will held their own if not increase their number. The State Senate holds over. In this the Republicans have nineteen and the Democrats thirteen, jo securo a ma jority on joint ballot the Democrats must elect sixty-eight Assemblymen, while the Republicans reouire only sixty-two. In the last Assembly the Republicans had seventy -one and tbe Democrats htty-seven. While the Democrats have been making strenuous efforts to secure enough votes to elect a Senator, there is little probability that they will succeed. Much more popular interest attaches to the vote for municipal officers in New York city than to the State election. The election is between the Tammany ticket, headed by Mayor Grant, and the People's Municipal League ticket, headed by Francis M. Scott, a County Democrat, and containing botii Republican and Democratic names. The latter ticket has been indorsed by the Ropublican party and the County Democracy, and has had the active support of all tne Republican and mugwump papers.
The campaign for both tickets has been prosecuted with untiring energy, and both are claiming everything. This election will be tbe first under the new election law, the working and effect of which will be watched with great interest. ' IN THE KEYSTONE STATE.
Two Tnlted States Senators Depending Upon the Result of the Balloting. Philadelphia, Nov. 3. The inost active campaign in Pennsylvania for several years ended to-night, A most thorough canvass ofthe State has been made by the two leading parties, in which the Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor Messrs. Delamater and Pattison have personally taken an active part, each having addressed meetings in almost every county. The Prohibition and Labor parties both have full State ticket in the field. bui neither has shown much activity in the campaign, and very few Labor or Prohibi tion meetings have, been held. The Stato officers to be choseu are Governor, Lieuten-' ant-governor and Secretary of Internal Affairs. These officers are to - serve fonr years. 1 he bead of the tickets in the held are as follows: Republican. George W. Delamater; Democratic. Robt. E. Pattison; Prohibition, John D. Gill: Labor. Thomas. 1 Rvniler. In ISSfi .la. A. Uavpr lnnblican. was elected Governor hv n. nlnralitr oi 4:5,001. ine inn vote was: lieaver, 41-V; k Mack (Dem.), S69.C34; Wolfe (Pro.).

The full vote in that year was: Pattison (Dem.). ST5,791; Beaver (Rep.), 315.58: Stewart find. bor). 23,41; Pettit (Pro.), 5,115. Members of Congress are to be chosen m the twenty -eight districts. The present delegation in Congress consists of twenty-one Republicans and- seven Democrats. Twenty-six members of the State Senate are to be elected; one to fill a vacancy and serve two years, the others to serve four years. Tho entire body of the lower house of the Legislature 204 mp'mhers in also to Iih rhnupn. "The' new Legislature will elect a United 'States Senator to succeed Senator James Donald Cameron, whose term will expire March 4, 1891, and the twenty-five State Senators elected to-morrow will also have a vote io tho successor of Senator Matthew 8. Onav. Whoso term will expire March 4, 1S93. - The ' present Legislature stands nouticallv as follows: Senate, thirty-four Republicans and sixteen Democrats; House of Repre sentatives, 144 Republicans and sixty Democrats. IN SOyTII CAROLINA. Possibility that "Straight-Out" Democrats and Republicans May Defeat Tillman. Columma, S. C, Nov. 3. The election in South Carolina is to be for a full State ticket and" Congressmen, a id the interest arises from the split in the Democratic ranks caused by Tillman nomination. Neither labor nor liquor questions enter into the present contest. The State elec tion hinges mainly on opposition by the small faction of the Democratic party calling themselves "straight-outs'7 to what they term the disreputable character of Tillman, the regular Democratic nominee for Governor, based on his charges of cor ruption and fraud in the administration of affairs since 18.0, and from the fact that tho Alliance was largely instrumental in securing Tillman's nomination. The great body of Xhe white people will vote for Tillman. It is possible, however, that with the undivided support of the Republicans the Haskell ticket may be elected, ana tho Kepublican State executive has recommended its support. IX OTHER STATES. Several Close Districts in Michigan, with Odds in Favor of Republicans. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 3. In Michigan a Governor and full State ticket, eleven Congressmen and a Legislature are to be chosen at to-morrow's election. Michigan is ti State of fusion tickets, but this year there; has been a departure from the usual tac-, tics, and no less than four full State tickets are in the field the Republican, Democratic, the Industrial and tbe Prohibition. Hon. James M. Turner is the Republican candi date for Governor, and Hon. E. 13. W ns is the Democratic candidate. The Democrats have made an aggressive fight against Turner, and will probably reduce considerabty tho usual Republican plurality on tne bead of , the ticket. Considerable interest centers in the congressional contests in close districts. Congressman liurrows, of the Kalamazoo district, is this year opposed by his old Democratic competitor, ex-Congressman laple, who once defeated liurrows in this district, lioth parties are hopeful, but Hurrows will probably be re-elected. In tho Grand Rapids district, one of the doubt ful district, Chpt. C. W. Watkms is the Republican caudidate and ex-Congressman M. 11. Ford the Democratic candidate. Tbe result is hard to predict. In the Soventh district the Republicans hope to gain a Congressman by defeating Congressman Whiting, who has been renominated by the Democrats; but the Democrats are just as hopeful that they will not only hold this district, but gain a Congressman in tho lenth district, which the Republicans only carried by 115 votes two years ago. Claims of Farmers in'MInnesota. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 3. Minnesota is one of the interesting political States of the Northwest this fall from the fact that the phenomenal growth of the Farmers' Alliance within the last six months makes it likely that this new party will to-mor-jow cast over 25 per cent, of the total vote of the State. As Minnesota has heretofore been strongly Republican the growth of the new party has naturally been greatly at the expense of the dominant party, hut with four full State tickets in the field, . the Democrats and Farme8, Alliauce having failed to combine, the chances are still slightly in favor of the Republican ticket. The candidates for Governor aro William R. Merriara, Republican: Thomas Wilson, Democrat: S. M. Owen, Farmer Alliance, and P. J. Pinkham, Prohibition. The nrost sanguine party in the State is'without doubt the Farmers' Alliance, and they claim the State by from ten thousand to twenty thousand plurality. Of course, the older parties contest this, but it is frequently conceded that either of the three parties is almost' equally liable to win; The Republicans claim the entire five congressional districts of the State, but in several of the districts their claims are stubbornly contested by the Democrats and Farmer' Alliance, so that it is impossible to predict accurate results. Uncertain In Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3. The election in this State to-morrow promises to be the closest and most hotly-contested in its history. The situation can fairly be termed uncertain. Four tickets are in the field, and of these the Republicans and the Farmers' Alliance both claim the victory. At the Republican State central committee headquarters in this city, chairman Watson claims the election of the entire State ticket bv pluralities ranging from 8,000 to 15,000. No direct expression of oDinions or estimate can be gained from the Democratic Or Alliance committees, other than the claim of success for their respective tickets, with' the exception of the Second district, where tbe Democrats and Alliance men have fused. There are three tickets in the congressional districts. Chairman Wateon claims pluralities for all the Republican candidates. The result on tbe prohibitory amendment is also in donbt, the general feeling appearing to be that it will be defeated. The Alliance will undoubtedly elect a majority of the lower bouse of the Legislature, and, perhaps, of the Senate. In North and South Dakota, St. Paul, Nov. S.--North and South Dakota are both strongholds of the Farmers' Alliance, but only in the latter does tbe Alliance cut much of a figure. These two young States vote for a full State ticket, for Congressmen and Legislature. Senator Moody, in South Dakota, and Senator Pierce, in North Dakota, are to come before the next Legislature for re-election, and this fact has added to the interest of the contest. In North Dakota tho Alliance
chose a State ticket, headed by one of themselves, and made up of selected candidates lrom the other party tickets. The Republicans of that State claim the election of their entire ticket by 'Several Thousand majority, and also claim a good majority in tho Legislature. In South Dakota the Alliance has a complete Stato ticket, as also have the Republicans and Democrats, and each of those parties has also a congressional ticket in the field. Pierre will probably win in the State capital fight. All indications are that there will be no change in the representation from the two States at Washington. West Virginia Estimates. WnF.EU.NG, W. Vs., Nov. 3. Hon. G. W. Atkinson, secretary of the State executive committee, to-night claims the election of Hubbard (Rep.) to Congress from the First district by from two to six hundred majority. He claims the election of Harmon (Rep.) from the Second district, but is. not overconfident, He is fearful of the defeat of Gaynes (Rep.) in the Third district because of race prejudice growing out of an alleged remark it is claimed Gaynes made in one of his speeches, that ho wus in favor of educating white and colored children in tbe same schools. In th6 Fourth district he considers it so close that uo one can successfully conjecture the result. He, however, is expecting the election of'Smith (Rep.) by a majority of 50 to 150. Mr. Atkinson 'insists that Reynolds (Rep.l will surely defeat Lucas (Dem.) for Supreme judge. He claims the House of Olegates lor the Republicans by two majority, and says that the Senate will be a tie. He is considered the best authority in the State on West Virginia politics. Doubtful Districts In Missouri. St. Louis, Nov. 3. The chief interest in the election in Missouri to-morrow centers in five congressional districts and anew 'Legislature, which is to elect a United States Senator. Thedoubtfurfcougressional districts are the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth, all of which include parts of this city, the Fourth or St. Joseph district, and the Thirteenth or Colonel Wade's district. A hotly contested . campaign has been prosecuted in these districts, but the result seems to be quite doubtful. Tho Democratic Stato committee ' claims the Fourth, Ninth and Thirteenth, while tho Republican committee contend that they will carry tho Eighth, Ninth and Tenth without a particle of doubt, and that they have a splendid fighting chance in the Fourth. If this prediction proves true, tbe Republicans will hold their own iu Congress, and perhaps add another to their numberof Representatives. The Australian election law will receive its first practical test in this election, and much interest is centered in its workings. Situation 'in Montana. Helena, Mont, Nov. a The voters of Montana to-morrow choose one Congressman and eight State Senators. Carter, of Helena, Republican, is a "candidate for reelection. The Democratic nominee is W. W. Dixon, of Butte. Carter's majority last year, that being the first State election, was 1.C00. The Republican State central committee claim he will be re-elected tomorrow by 1,000. The campaign has been hotly contested, and the Democrats are confident of electing Dixon by from 200 to 300. Tho registration is 20 per cent, less than one year ago, which involves an additional element of uncertainty. The real contest is for the control of the Stato Senate, that body being a tie, politically.1 The Democrats must elect four to control the body nnd the Republicans six. With one exception all the senatorial districts are debatable, which gives the Democrats high hopes of a majority in that body. Still-Hunt In New TJampuhire. Concord, N. II., Nov. 3. The election in New Hampshire to-morrow is for State and county officers, members of Congress and tbe Legislature. The Legislature to be ch'osed will elect a successor to the Hon. Henry W. Blair, United States Senator. Both the leading parties have conducted a still-hunt'' campaign. There has been considerable speaking, the tariff being the .most prominent issue. The vote will bo 'smaller than that of 1858, when it aggregated OO.fiSl. It will probably not exceed 85,000 this year. The indications are that there will be no choice for Governor, a majority vote being required to elect; that Mr. McKiuney, Democrat, will be elected Congressman in the First district and Mr. Moore, Republican, in the Second district, and that the Legislature will bo Republican by a small majority. The Prohibition voto will be small. In Connecticut. IlARTroiiD, Conn., Nov. 3. Connecticut will to-morrow choose a Legislature of .tWenty-four Senators and 251 members of the House, four members of Congress, a sheriff in each of theeight counties, a judge of probate in each district, and all justices of,the peace. The Legislature will elect a United States. Senator to succeed O. H. Piatt, Republican. The Legislature elected in 1888 had sixty-six Republican majority on joint ballot and it is generally conceded that the coming Legislature will also be Republican.' although both parties are working actively for its control. It is
thought that the Third congressional district will return a Republican ana the Second a Democrat. The result in the First and Fourth cannot be predicted. The new secret ballot operates this year for the first time in a general election. Will Be Close In California. San Francisco, Nov. 3. The election to be heid in California to-morrow will be for Governor, Lieutenant-governor, Chief-justice and three Associate Justices of the Sunumber of other State officers, as well as six members of Congress. Members of the Legislature are also to be elected, and more than theordinary degree of interestis taken in this latter contest, as a United States Senator is to be elected at the next session of the Legislature to succeed Leland Stanford Republican. Both parties express great confidence in victory to-morrow, but not many definite estimates as to majorities are indulged in by either side, and it is generally believed the election will bo a close one. The Congressional Contest in Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 3, The elections to occur in this State to-morrow have not occasioned very much interest. In the First congressional district the race for Congress is the bitterest in the history of the State. A. A. Taylor, the present Congressman, is opposed by R. R. Butler, inde pendent Republican, and the race is close and fierce, with chances favoring Butler. In the Second district Houck will be reelected by a reduced majority. In the Third the race is very close, with chances favoring Snodgrass, Democrat, who opposes Evans,-the present member. In the Fourth. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh. Eighth, Ninth and Tenth the Democratic nominees will be elected with practically no opposition. Cleveland Thinks Democracy Will Triumph. Boston, Nov. 3. The following letterhas been received from Grover Cleveland by William E. Russell, Democratic candidate for Governor: . New YoitK, Nov. 1. In this last stageof your splendid eanvass I cannot refrain from expressing tbe hone that the people of the tcrand old c6mmonveHlth will testify their appreciation of your devotion to their interests by a decisive indorsement of your candidacj-. The Dfmoersicr of Massachusetts will le Jalse to the proieselons and traditions of their party and fale to their duty to the country if in thl- critical hour they are guilty of the least indifference or inactivity. Triumphant Democracy is on the way, and the Massachusetts contingent must be prepared to join the march with Hying banners of victory. Grover Cleveland. In Mftsnachutetts. fc Boston, Nov. 3. The election in Massachusetts to-morrow is for Governor and other State officers, twelve members of Congress, a Legislature, district attorneys and county officers. This will be the second State election - and the first congressional . election in Massachusetts under the Australian ballot law. The candidates for the principal offices on all three State tickets are, in tho main, the same as last year. More than the usual doubt is felt touching tbe result. The probability seems to be, however, that Governor Brackett will be re-elected by a small plurality, that the rest of the Repub

On account of there being a bitter factional fight in the Republican party over local affairs the campaign has been a decidedly interesting oue, and while in many localities there aro two Reuublican tickets in the field, yet each side is supporting the Hon. H. M. Teller for re-election to tbe United States Senate. Because of these differences the Democrats .aro hopeful of electing Governor, State Treasurer and a majority in both houses of the Legislature, in case of which the Hon. T. M. Patterson will succeed Mr. Teller. The Republicans laugh at these Democratic expectations and are confident of carrying everything on tho State ticket. Factors in 'the Florida Section. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. a All of tho Democratic nominations for the Legislature have been influenced by the fact that tomorrow is to choose a United States Senator to succeed Wilkinson Call, which is an issue- of absorbing interest in the Democratic canvass. The Farmers7 Alliance will cut a large figure in the result. The polltax Drereouisito law is m operation in this State this year for tbe first time. It has so far resulted in a large decrease in tbe number of qualified voters of the Republican party, and any Democratic gains will bo largely due to this. New Ballot Law in New Jersey. Trenton, N. J., Nov. ST-The election in this State to-morrow will be noteworthy as being the first election under the new ballot law, which is a modification of the Australian law. The election will be for Assemblymen, a portion of the Senate and seven Congressmen. The present congressional delegation consists of four Republicans and three Democrats. There has been a pretty lively, canvass in the close districts, and it will not excite surprise if the Democrats gain one or two seats. In the Old Dominion. Richmond, Vs., Not, 3. The election in this State to-morrow i is for Congressmen only, and the contest is strictly upon party lines.- The fight will be most hotly contested in the First, Second, Fourth, Eighth and Ninth-districts.
