At every precinct in the city both Democrats and Coalitionists (tbe latter composed of so-called Democratic reformers and Republicans) are working earnestly to bring out a full vote. A little ripple of excitement occurred about 10 o'clock a. m., at the second precinct, Jackson ward, (the great black ward of the city, known a Africa), when, at the instance of ex-Congressman John S. Wise, Mr. A. B. Gnigon, a young Democratic lawyer, was arrested on a charge of unlawfully obstructing voters. Almost immediately afterwards Mr. Wise was arrested on a similar warrant. Both were taken to a jolice station and there balled for appears tee at tbe police court to-morrow. Guigon was engaged in challenging voters when am sled, and Wise, who is the leader of the Coalitionists in the city, was devoting himself to the work of facilitating the colored vote. I'p to this hour (11 p. m.) about forty cities and counties of the State have been heard from. These show that the Democrats have elected delegaics in thirty counties. They have lost tbe following counties, which at the last election went Democratic Withe, King William, Patrick, Louisa and Henry and have made gairs in the following counties, which at the lsst election went Republican : Appomattox, Russell and Page. If this rate of Iosecs and gains continues in the remaining counties, the Democrats will have about three-fourths of the Senate and nearly two-thirds of the House of Delegates, thus insuring the election of a Democratic Senator to succeed Senator Riddleberger. Unofficial figures which will fairly approximate the official vote show that twenty of the 21 precincts in Ricinond gave over 500 majority for tbe Democratic esndidates for the house of deleeatr. The remaining four precincts will increase this majority by from one to two hundred. Returns from 20 counties and cities in the State do not show a pain or loss to either party, although the vote has changed in several instances, foimer Democratic counties electing Republican delegates, axd vice versa. Returns received up to 1 a. m., sbow 1hat in forty-live counties and cities the Democrats have elected fifty-one members ot tbe House of Delegates, and in twenty the Coalitionists elect seventeen members, In ' 1 out cf tbe 19 senatorial districts in which elections were held the Democrats elect tight and the Republicans live. The ranjaicder of the State will increase these ligures to what was telegraphed earlier tonight. Alixanpkia, Ya., November 8 Tbe news beiig leceived at the State Democratic headquarters in this city is encouraging for.the Democrats and ihey are jubilant over the defeat of :Mahone. Chairman Esrbour at midnight said bis estimate was that tbe Democrats in both branches of the Legislature would hold their own. the losses sn a few counties being ofitet by gains in as many more. He is certain of a Democratic majority of 25 on joint ballot, with a probability of a two-thirds majority. Rich m ok d, November 8. Governor Lee at midnight says the result does not exceed his expectations. He is sure that the SeDate will be Democratic by two-thirds majorityt and tbe House of Delegates by three-fifths. Dakvilie, Ya., November 8 Danville city and thirteen precincts in Pittsylvania County show a net Democratic loss of nearly 1,(00 as compared with the vote in lr85. Ai.fxa5ibia, Ya., November 8.

The election in Ohio to-day is for Governor, Lienlrsnt Govrnor, Jndpes of the Supreme Co-nit, Auditor, Treasurer, Attorney-General sird Member of the Board of Pablie Works, for members of tbe General Assembly and for county and township omoers. There are four tickets before the people Republican, Democratic, Uaion Labdrand Prohibition. The weather is pleasant all over tbe fctate. In this city a heavy vote was polled early in tbe forenoon. Not a single arrest was reported up to 11 a. m. woman was at the polls in one of the precincts of the twenty-fiist ward holding tleketi for the Union Labor party. 1 1 Comparisons will be made with the Governor's vote of 1885. There were 2,167 wards and precincts In the State of Ohio. In 1&5 the vote was aa follows: Republican, 359,281; Democratic, 341,830; Prohibition. 28,081; Labor, 2,001 ; scattering, 2,774 ; tOtftl, 733,7, r 9191:1' plEXlütj oyer
Hoadly 17,451. J. B. Foraker is the present Republican candidate for Governor, T. E. Powell is the Democratic candidate, Seitz is the Union Labor candidate and Sharp the Prohibition candidate. In Ham- j Ilten county the returns received at S o'clock indicate an increased vote over that of 1885. Then there was no perceptible labor vote; now it is quite a feature, exceeding in many precincts the vote of 1 tbe older parties. Both Republican and Democratic aggregates consequently show a falling off. In the first returns received, the Democratic falling off is greater than tbe Republican. Sixteen precinct of Hamilton county show a net Republican gam of 912 The relative vote is: Foraker, 1,954; Powell, 1 242; Seitz, 2S5; Sharp, 5. The absence of the Union Labor vote in 1885, and its large proportion now in Cincinnati, causes an increase in the net Republican gain in this county out o! proportion to the total vote. Where the labor vote has drawn more heavily from Democrats than from Republicans, which is usually the case, the Republican gain is increased, though tbe Republican total may be decreased. One hundred and eighteen precincts ia Ohio show a net Republican gain of 1,92.3. Foraker 10,700; Powell 10,835; Seitz 2,949; hbarp 808. One hundred and seventy-seven precincts in Ohio give a net Republican gain of2,930. Foraker 25, 1C4; Powell 17,081; Seitz 2,497 ; Sharp 1,188. The last twentyfour precincts make no change in the Republican gain. Forty-onejprecincts, mostly from Hamilton county, show a net Republican gain of 1,473 Relative vote: Foraker, 5,339; Powell. 3.HS2; Seitz, 1,209; Sharp, 02. Eighty-Beven precintain Ohio show a net Republican gain of 1,749. Foraker. 12,414 ; Powell, 7,921; Seitz, 2 35; Sharp, 734. One hundred and fifty out of 207 precincts in Hamilton county show Foraker leading Powell by 5,000 plurality. It is claimed that the ramainder of the Republican ticket will have much larger majorities in the county. Two hundred and thirty-nine precincts in Ohio give a net Republican gain of 4,108. Foraker, 33,140; Powell, 2-5,518; Seitz, 5.083; Sharp, l.0(. Total, 05,408. Three huudred and one precincts in Ohio (about one-seventh of the whole number); net Republican gain, 4,057. Foraker, 44,479; Powell, 33,929; Seitz, 0,403; Sharp, 2,123. Total, 80 931. In Hamilton County the returns already received thow that Foraker has carried tbe county by a mejority of possibly -3 000. Some estimates place it higher. This, in consideration of tbe reports current during the day that Powell was receiving Union Labor votes, would justify the conclusion that tbe entire county ticket of tbe Republicans is elected. Three hundred and eighty-six precincts in Ohio show net Republican gains of 4,947. Foraker, -0,290; Towell, 46 974; Seitz, 7.S74; Sharp, 3,258. Total. 118,405. The counties beard from giving Democratic gains are Adams, Allen. Brown, Butler, Champaign, Clermont, Clinton, Columbiana, Defiance, Delaware, Erie, Greene, which gives 239 gain in ten precincts; Loraine, 205 in seven precincts; Mnskingum. Peny, Pickaway, Roes, Seneca, Shelby and Wyandot. The counties from which Republican gains have been reported are Astabula, Carroll, Claike, Crawford. Cuyahoga, Darke, Fairfield, Franklin, Hamilton, Jieigs, Columbiana. Pike, Portege, Preble, PntDam, Richmond, Scioto. Stark, Summit. Trumbull, Van Wert, Wayne, Washington and Wood. In most cases only a ew precincts have been beard from, and the gales are small except in Hamilton. Four hundred and twenty-eight precincts In Ohio give a net Repr.bllcan gain of 5,074, in a total vote of l'U.394. The greater portion of this gain is in Hamilton County, while the remainder of the State is nearly evenly balanced. It the same rate is maintained, Foraker's plurality will be from 20,000 to 22 000. I Six hundred and seventy-three preci nets in Obis, out of 2,107. give a net Republican gain of 5. 133. From tbe best estimate that can bencade at this hour tbe Union Labor vote of Hamilton County wi'l reach about 12,000 or 13 000. The vote cf Hamilton County is of peculiar interest. The comparison is made with the vote of 1885, when the Labor party waa not organized. The effect of its inroads upon the two old parties is easily traceable by precincts. In many precincts the depletion of the old parties has been from 25 to 00 percent. The loss falls most heavily on the Democrats, as shown in tbe increased Republican plurality, but in some of the German wards the Republican defection has been greater. Seven hundred and three precincts in Ohio give a net Republican gain of 5,011. Foraker, 113,754; Powell, 07,171; Seitz, 10,080; Sbarp 7,174. Total. 228.170. Seven hundred and torty-nlne precincts in Ohio give a net Republican gain of 5,497, in a total vote ot 48.883. No more returns will be received to-night The indications still point to a plurality of from 22,000 to 25,000 for Foraker. Clzyilako, Ohio, Novembers The first freclnct counted in" tbe city of Cleveand tbows a Republican aln of 17. "Four preclncta in Cleveland give a Republican gain of 89, and one. precinct a Democratic gain of 10. Twelve precincts in Cleveland show a Republican gain over 1880 of 281, and three precincts a Democratic gain of 29. Returns from forty-two city precincts show net Republican gain of L.21C votes. In thirty-three precincts, or just one-half tbe city, there is a net Republican gain of -804 votes. Tbe entire Republican county ticket is elected, and Gov. Foraker's plurality in this connty la probably 2.500. Toledo, November 8. WaynesSeli township, Lucas County, Foraker 2b; Powell 2. Spencer township, Foraker 08; Powell 72. Swanton township.

Five hundred and fourteen precincts In Ohio give a nat Republican gain of 5,424, in a total vote of 172,138. This is nearly one-fourth of the State. The chairman of the Republican Central State Committee claims that Foraker's plurality is at least 25,000 and a Republican majority in both branches of tbe Legislature. It ia claimed by the Hamilton County Republican Committee that the connty officers Will have Pluiaiit j of 5,0Q9 to 8,0,
FJBNN8TLVANIA. FjuLAütLT-Hii, November 8. The election !n Pennsylvania to-day is for State Treasurer for a term of two years, and for a judge of the Supreme Court to serve twenty-one years. The Republican candidates are William B. Hart, for State Treasurer, and Henry W. Williams, for Judge of the Supreme Court. The Democratic ticket is Bernard J. McG rann, for Treasurer, and J. Rosa Thompson, for Supreme Court Judge. The Prohibition candidates are Dallas C. Irish and Simeon B. Chase. Comparisons in these dispatches will be made with the vote for State Treasurer in 1885. The campaign throughout the State has not been particularly active and a heavy vote is not anticipated. In this city, however, the campaign has been one of the most exciting and bitter of the past decade. The Republican city ticket ia headed by William R.Leeds for sheriff; the Democratic by Charles H. Kumbhaar for the same office. For the city judiciary, as is customary here, both parties have indorsed the same candidates. The Independent Republicans refuted to support Leeds, the nominee of the party, on the grounds of "boss ism," asserting that his nomination had been fixed up by the party leaders in advance of the nominating convention and that it was forced through against the wishes of the people. On this issue the Independents received the support of several Republican
voca'ed the election of Kumbhaar, the Democratic candidate for sheriff, while at the same time giving support to the other Republican candidates. A feature of the campaign has been what is termed the "Religious I'sue." The Personal Liberty League, which is composed of 330 socities including nil the oldest German einging societies in the city indorses the entire Democratic ticket with the exception of Recorder of Deeds. The League claims a membership of 30,000 voters. It announced its opposition to the Sunday closing laws and entered the campaign with the avowed purpose of simply showing its strength, which it declared would be used henceforth in aiding the election of legislators and city officials who would work to secure repeal of tbe laws whicn compelled saloons and places of amusement to remain closed on Sunday. The Republicans accepted the challenge and made an issue against the League and the "Desecration of the Sabbath." In this they have brought to their aid the active support of many ministers and church-going people who have entered the "fight" to prevent the personal liberty league from gaining a foot-hold in local political affairs. It will thus be seen that the campaign has been a decidedly mixed one. Twenty-six wards out of thirty-one in the city give: For 8tate Treasurer, Hart (R 70,439; McGrann (D.), 57,232. For sheria, Leeds (R.), 00,893; Krumbbaar (D ), 04,415. For controller, Malonev (R ), 00,843; Dechert (D. 05,323. BothKrumbhaar and Dechert are elected. Pierie (R ), for recorder of deeds, will have 15,0tO majority in the city. Tbe ligures for Supreme Judge on the State tickat will give Williams (R ) abont the same as Hart received. The Republicans elect two commissioners and the Democrats one. At 12 o'clock eighteen counties in the State, outside of Philadelphia, had been heard from. These counties give a net Democratic gain of 9,196 on the 70te for State .Treasurer in 185, wben Quay (R ) received a plurality of 43510. Hart's (R.) majority in the State will be about 25 000 and Williams' (R.). for Supreme Judge, about the same. 1 :30 a. m. All the wards of the city are now in. Following are some of tbe totals: For State Treasurer Hart (R ) 80,033; McGrann (D.) 72.001. For Sheriff Leeds (R.) 75,218; Krumbharr (D.) 82,278. For Controller Maloney (R.) 75,251; Dechert (D.) 83,G7. 2:30 a. m. The State, with nineteen counties still to hear from, gives Hart, Rep., for State Treasurer 27,242 plurality. These figures include both Philadelphia and Allegheny counties. ILLINOIS. Chicago, November 8. The latest reports from tbe polling places establish beyond reasonable doubt the fact that the Jury Commission law is defeated by a large majority. As to the general result of tbe election, it may be said that tbe Republican ticket, as a whole, is successful, and it is not probable that any one of that party'a candidates is defeated. Lakeview and Cicero have probablv both decided against annexation. The Jury Commission law and the project of issuing bonds also met w ith little favor. The Town of Lake is reported to have gone strong against annexation. Hyde Park hau undoubtedly decided for annexation. The question of issuing $1,000,000 of county bonds is undoubtedly carried. Reports from mcBt of the wards up to 10:30 o'clock ihdicate that a very light vote was polled, although in the labor districts a respectable showing was made in the early morning hours. It looks as though not more than one-third vote was called out. There were five tickets in the field the regular Republican, the Silk Stocking Democratic, the Short Hair Democratic, the regular Labor and the Gleeson Labor. Tbe election is for County Commissioners and on the adoption of tbe jury communion law. At this hour (11 p. m.) it is impossible to give figures on the election In Cook County. The Republicans carried everythirg by good majorities, electing Gary Jndge of the Superior Court, and Longenecker for States' Attorney. The jury commisioner law has been carried. Annexation was carried in Hyde Park, Cicero and Jefferson. Tbe towns of Lake and Lakeview voted against annexation. Judge Gary's re-election as Judge of the Superior Court waa a foregone conclusion. The Anarchists were tried before Gary, and on account ot his popularity in connection with these fsmous cases he was put on three tickets, the Republican, Democratic and United Labor party. His opponent in tbe race was Capt. Black, the attorney for the Anarchists, who was nominated by the Socialistic wing of the United Labor party. Tbe most significant feature of to-day's elections in Chicago waa the result of the contest for the Superior Court judgeship. Agin.t thi magistrate who tried the Anarcl lsts, - Judge Joseph E. Gary, was pitted the attorney most prominent in tbeir defense. Captain W.P.Black. The vote; was: Gary, 38,049; Black, 5,112. Leas than a week ago Representative C. G. Dixon, tbe spokesman for Capt. Black'a supporters, estimated the vote for the Anarchist lawyer would be perhaps 10,000. From the outlook at that time Mr. Dixon declaredthe most nnfavorable Ksible condition of public sentiment would be shown by a vote of 5,Ooa Mr. Dixon explicitly stated it was tbe exception, that upon the result of tbe election, as a reflection ot the sentiment of tbe people of Chicago; would depend to some extent the action of Gov. Oglesby regarding the eondemed Anarchists. MaJBSlCardETTi. EoiTOR, November I. The election proceeded very quietly, although there waa considerable suppressed excitement and many vigorous workers around the polls. Reports from various points in Massachusetts bring similar stonea. The weather is perfect 2ifttch.c JorwAided Uqbx
MM
various parts of the State at one o'clock this afternoon showed that a heavy vote was being polled. The vote of Boston is: Ames, 21,379; Lovering, 20,778; Lovering's plurality. 5,389; Republican gain 2,890. One hundred and fifty-two towns and cities, including Boston, Gloucester, Lynn, Taunton and Lowell, give Ames 71.898; Lovering, 08,295. The indications are that Ames, is re-elected by a increased pluraity. 9 p. m. At the Republican headquarters, Chairman Burden claims that the Republicans will have a plurality of not lets than 14,000 and may reach 17,000. The net loss for the Democratic ticket in Boston is 3.000. while the Republicans claim that the returns so far in show that they have gained three or four senators and a dozen or more representatives. The total returns received bo far at the Republican headquarters show a Democratic net loss in tbe State of 8,400. At the Democratic headquarters they are making no claims except that the vote will be found to be close when the returns are all in. Two hundred and eleven cities and towns, with the city of Somerville included, give Ames 115,881; Lovering 102,495. Returns from 346 towns and cities in the State give for Governor: Ames, 135,819; Lovering, 118.2S7 ; Earle, 10,083 ; Marks, 348. For Lieutenant-Governor: Brackett, 137,10; Cutting, 115,715. The Evecutive Council will stand seven Republicans and one Democrat, as at present. The composition of the Senate and House can not as yet be definitely given, but the returns indicate large gains for the Republicans. The Democrats have lost six senators in the eastern part of the State. DAKOTA. St. Paci., Winn., November 8. The election in Dakota, to-day, was for the pur pose of voting for or against tbe division of the Territory, on tbe forty-sixth paral lel, ana in counties where an election had been called by petition to tbe County Commissioners, the ouestaon of local op tion was voted upon. Returns at midnight from twenty counties show a generally light vote on the question of divis ion, with the probabilities that the majority in favor thereof in the whole Territory will be about 10,000. In the Black Hills the anti-Divisionista refrained from voting and the vote for division was smalL Brown and other Central Dakota counties will be almost solid against division. Bur leigh and other counties around Bismarck go solid against division. Cass county, of which Fargo is the county seat, gives about 1,000 majority against division. Grand Jorks county gives a like majority for division. In North Dakota, as a whole, tbe majority for division, if any, will probably be small. South Dakota, as a whole, goes solidly for division. On the question of license vs. frohibition, the counties containing the argest towns like Fargo and Grand Forks go for license, but of tbe whole vote cast prohibition will probably get a small ma jority.

In this city there was about twothirds of a full vote with much scratching, and the vote will not be counted before midnight. Sawyer (Democrat) for Judge, is running close upon Fields (Republican,) but the result is yet uncertain. Otherwise the Republican ticket is undoubtedly elected. Omaha, Nib , November 8. The Omaha Bee says the Republican State ticket, composed of one candidate for the Supreme Court and two candidates for regenta of the State University, has been elected by over 20,000 majority. Nineteen district judges were elected in Nebraska. In some districts there non-partisan judiciary tickets and these were all victorious.

OKKGON. Pohtlakp, Orv Novembers. A steady lisbt rain fell all over the western section of the State. The vote is light in the interior. All interact centered in prohibition. The amount of the vote in this city waafnlL The estimated vote in the city will be four to one against the amendment. Returns late this afternoon indicate that the Prohibitionists have overestimated their strength in interior towns, and that the prohibition amendment ia defeated by 7,000 to 8,000 majority. The other two amendmenta, namely, to change time o( election mad to aügw fbe Legislatur to
fix salaries of Etate officers, are supposed to be beaten. Late returns indicate that tbe Fronibition amendment has carried two counties in the centre of the Etate by good round majorities, and that tbe total majority against prohibition will not exceed 8,000, but it is certainly defeated. The second amendment, relative to salaries is overwhelmingly defeated, and the third amendment, relative to changing the time of holding election till November, is probably carried.

The Democrats also elect thirteen out ok the sixteen aldermen voted for. Th Legislature. Con Mrvf, O., November 8. In the enthusiasm which has prevailed on the part of the Republicans to-night over the election return, they have made no estimate as to tbe standing of either branch of the Legislature further than to claim that they have a large majority in both. This is based upon the general supposition that all of tbe counties were considered doubtful. Tbe Democratic Committee has made no detailed estimates on the Legislature, but tbey do not dispute that the Republicans will have a majority on joint ballot. The Steel Rail Trale. Philadelphia, November 8. The large steel rail manufacturers here state that there is a great deal of unnecessary alarm concerning tbe steel rail trade. The cause of this alarm is said to be simply because several of the presidents ot large railway companies have not put in their orders. Notably among these is President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who always has in his order for 59,000 tons at this time of year; and because he has 10t given hie order other railway managers who always wait for him to move have also failed to put in their orders, and this has served to inciease the alarm. Tbe general feeling is that there is no occasion for alarm, and that at the piesent price of rails in this country thsre is no danger of competition from foreign makers. Fatal Affray at the Foils. Chicago, Novomber 8. A fatal shooting affray occurred about S o'clock this morning in front of a polling booth on Jefferson street Patrick Hogan, a notorious tough, and James Hussey were both drunk and creating considerable disturbance about the polls.

THE LAST PLEA
Captain Black Eeada a Delegation to Wait ca Gaveuor 0?leifey. Ee Eit Ko Eope TU! the Eomb-Ytker Lirge Will 8ecw8 Clemency. Fielder, Ccnfestisg to the Tie cf Wild Largnige, Read F Kircy. Engel Planning to Attempt ;Suicid Again Tbe Party "VVhicb, Started for Springfield Nina Van Zamlt at Home. Chicago, November 8. The last delegation to wait on the Governor with petitions for clemency for the condemned Anarch ists, left the city tonight. Capt. Black was asked if he had any real hope that the Governor would interfere with the sentence. He replied that he was quite confident that clemency would be extended to Schwab and Fielden, it not the others. "Of course," said he, "there is no hope for Lingg. He has signed his own doom." "In case of an execution, will the men be attended by ministers?" Captain Black said : "These men have religion of their own and do not want any ministers of the gospel. They are not religious in the common sense of that term, but agnostics; not atheists, remember." Miss Yan Zandt had a brief interview with Spies through the netting of the lawyers' cage. Mrs. 8chwab, Mrs. Fielden, Mrs. Engel and Mrs. Fischer were in the visitors' cage, and had a brief conversation with tbeir husbands. Mrs. Fielden had her children with her, and the raeetirg between Fielden and his family was quite affecting. riELrns's PLEA. In addition to the joint letter of Spies, Fielden and Schwab, deploring the loss of life at tbe Haymarket and disavowing the use of fcrce, the former employers of Fielden have secured from him a separate letter to tbe Governor, confessing that he had been guilty of using extravagant and unjustifiable language, which he now regrets, and saying that he recants and disavows all his loyalty to the doctrine that the wrongs of any class of society should be righted by violence. Judge Gary, with State's Attorney Grinnell and the latter'a atsiatant, Mr. Ingham, have indorsed upon the application their views in the case. 4 Lawyer Foster, actirg for Schwab, has pursued a very similar course, and has secured a recognition of whatever claims Schwab may have to a commutation from Messrs. Grinnell and Ingham. It may be said with confidence that Judge Gary and Mr. Grinnell will take no steps in fayor of the commutation of any other of the condemned men. ijtgel's tlans. A suggestion of the revolting incidents that may at any moment happen in the county jail prior to the execution of the Anaicbisfs. was developed this afternoon when Engel sent out to his wife what was, to all appearances, a basket of dirty dishes and very soiled linen. Although tbe stuff was not going to, but from the Anarchists, one of the deputies became suspicious of En gel's solicitude concerning the rubbish. Instituting a hurried search, the officisl soon saw the cause of Engel's anxiety. Hidden away among the tilth-EH card contents of the basket was a secret note in German to the Anarchist's c:abled looking little wife, who stood close at hand watcbing with strange eagerness. As tbe crumbled paper was brought forth, tbe and Engel exchanged glarxes, and then turned slowly away. The note stated brietiy that Er.gel would again attempt suicide before Friday, and that he would Lever die on the gallows. Immediately precautions were ordered taken, so that henceforth every move of Engel from now till ,he goes to the scaffold will be within arm a rtoch of a guard. Want Them Partlooed. String Fi eld, HL, Novembsr K. This afternoon members ' of tbe Legislature, George F. RoherbacJt, W. P. Wright, Gea. W. Smith, M. J. Dwyer, Leo. P. Dwyer, Thomas McKligott, James O'Connor, C. G. Dixon, Daniel McLaughlin and A. J. Streeter, who favored executive clemency for tbe condemned Anarchists, drew up a petition toGcvernor Oglesby. stating that while the subscribers abhor tbe doctrines, teachings and deeds of any and all Anarch itts, tbey believe public policy, good order and ends of justice will be best served by commutation of sentence to imprisonment for life. If this shall not seem right to the Governor at the present, in view of the recent alleged finding of the bombs in Lingg's cell, and in order that time may be given for a through investigation of the matter and aato degrees of gilt aj the condemned men, the petitioners pray tbe Governor to reprieve them for 30 days, in order also that public opinion may have time to develop. MR. BEECHER'S SUCCESSOR. A Call to be Sent to Rev. C. A. llerry or Wolrerhampton, Ea gland. New York, November 4. It Is said to be virtually settled that the Rev. Charles A. Berry, of Wolverhampton, England, ia to be called to Plymouth church as its pastor. Tbe advisory committee of tbe church having charge of the subject of a successor to Mr. Beecber, met last evening and unanimously voted to recommend the selection of Mr. Berry. While this does not bind tbe church, there is but little doubt but that the choice of tbe committee will be ratified, inasmuch aa the sentiment in the church is strongly set in the same direction, ao strongly, indeed, that the committee's action is virtually dictated by the universally expressed desire. The remarkable feature of Mr. Berry's preaching has been an acceptability to all and the action of the advisory committee Is simply a recognition of the fact that the approval of Mr. Berry is unanimous and enthusiastic. There is no divided sentiment, and some of the members have been almost afraid to let Mr. Berry get out of the country without being called. 80 far as his pulpit presence and utterances are concerned, the satisfaction of tbe congregation was complete. He showed clearly that his thinking was strongly in the lines and in the direction of Mr. Beecher's while there was not the slightest indication of imitating Mr. Beecher. This was great pleasure to the oongregation for what was most decidedly not in wanted Mr. Beecher's successor, whoever be might be, was an attempted imitation ot the great original which Plymouth church recognized gratefully it has had, and recognized regretfully It never could have again. Mr. B3rry is now thirty-five years old. He took his first charge at the age of twenty-two.
