Republicans Oatslde New York City Be*t* lleve That Tamman? Has the

Best Chance.

Wk*:

Altoafiy, N. Y., Oct. 31.—Twenty-four hours before the practical closing of the campaign 5nds a condition as chaotic as has ever bfeea apparent in the politics of New York state, and this is due not to any lack of well defined ideas of how the vote would run if stats issues alone and the election of an assembly were the prevailing factors but to the injection of some of the most bitter municipal contests that have ever prevailed in the cities of the state. In Greater New York, in Albany, in Rochester, in Syracuse and in Buffalo, the five greatest cities of the state, there will close tomorrow campaigns upon local issues that have been notably bitter. That these local affairs will have a bearing upon the vote for the only state offices in controversy, the chief judgeship of the court of appeals, must be conceded, bs that they will have a still greater bearing upon the assembly district contests is also apparent.

The indications at this writing are that while the contest for chief judgeship of the court oZ appeals will be a spirited one, the chances are distinctly in favor of the elec tion of the Republican candidate. The belief is general that the Republican vote in central and western New York that has for the past two or three years been abnormally large, will be in some measure reduced, but there are no indications that it will fall below its own normality which is to bring down to New York City a plurality of 65,000 with which to meet any plurality which the Democrats below there can show. In the past two years the plurality in the cities that make up Greater New York has been

Republican one* and the best computation of Democrats of their expected plurality In that district is thirty-five thousand, that upon their basis of figures, unless landslide occurs, the Republican candidate for appeals judge must be elected. It is of advantage to remember that to elect a Dem ocratic state officer after the tremendous Republican pluralities of the past three years would be an almost unprecedented event. In 1894 the Republican plurality in the state was 155,000 in 1895 it was 90,000, and in 1896 it was 187,000. If any one of these tremendous pluralities is cut in Salf it will he a partial victory for the Democrats.

Within thirty years the Democrats have controlled the legislature but four times in its two branches, and in that time have elected by joint "ballot but three United States senators, Kernan, Hill and Murphy Throughout the state the Democrats have made strenuous efforts this fall to increase the number of Democratic members of the lower house, and it is evident that success •will crown their efforts. The next assembly will, however, be still Republican by a very good majority. The localities where the Democrats expect to gain most largely are iN®w York and Kings counties. In the upper state counties those mentioned as gaining points are: Albany, Chemung, Renssalaer, Oneida, Onondaga, Erie and Niagara.

No contest in politics of a purely local nature has ever created such interest in the up-state counties as has the Greater New York contest for mayor, and the death of one of the foremost candidates has but added to that Interest. From carefully gathered opinions of Republican leaders, outside of the confines of the municipality where the contest is occurring, it is apparent that the general expectations are that Tammany will win and that Low and Tracy will have to Sight for second place. These prognostications are based upon the theory that the normal Republican vote is very much more tvenly divided among the candidates than Vs the Democratic vote, and the information tomes from such reliable sources that it is hardly to be questioned. In the other cities )t is believed the Republican candidates for mayor will be universally successful with the possible exception of Albany, where a

Democrat may succeed the present Demo«rat.

Manifesto of Yoaugr Henry Georee. New York, Oct. 31.—Henry George, son md successor of the late Henry George, has issued the following statement: "If elected lo the exalted office of mayor of Greater New York I shall hold myself pledged to lulfiil every condition and promise made by my father, and most especially shall I bring swift justice upon those public thieves and corruptionists who for so long have flaunted Iheir deeds in the faces of the common people whom they have insulted and robbed. !To all the world I proclaim this: My father's work, as he planned and pursued it, shall be carried forward without faltering or swerving. Let all who took hope at sight af his standard, keep heart and follow, for it presses on and shall press on and on while life is left."

MARYLAND CONTEST.

Republicans Have a Slight Advantage in Contest for Senator.

Baltimore, Oct. 31.—'Maryland will on Tuesday next elect a state comptroller, a clerk of the Court of Appeals and a new legislature, which in turn will choose a successor to United States Senator Gorman. In this city of Baltimore a mayor and a new council will be chosen. The campaign, which tas been unusually bitter, closed last night Kith mass meetings all along the line.

The main interest is centered in the legislative contest. If the Democrats win SenItor Gorman will doubtless be chosen for mother term, while if the Republicans are victorious there will probably be a sharp Ight for the seat among the aspirants, with \he chances slightly in favor of Congressman Mudd. As to the outcome of the coming lection it can only be said that the result is in great doubt, though both sides claim lo ,be able to count enough votes in the legislature to secure a majority on joint ballot ind to elect the United States senator. The Republicans have a slight advantage in that »f the thirteen hold-over state senators, nine ire Republicans. A large number of gold itandard Democrats are opposing the rejection of Senator Gotman, in which they ire joined by the Baltimore Sun and the Evening News, both of which have always been itrongly Democratic until within the past I wo years. In Baltimore bolh sides claim to fcave a majority of the votee, but there are livisions and dissensions in the ranks of both parties which make the outcome an extremely doubtful matter.

LITTLE BETTING ON OHIO.

•lepublicans Likely to Carry the State But Legislature May be Close. Cincinnati, Oct. 31.—There were many Sets taken here last night and today on the asult of the election. The betting was limC-"

iced to Ohio. OdSs were given on the Republican state ticket,- but the offers of even money on the legsilaiure were not wanted. Odds «were asked on the fusion ticket in Hamilton county, but the betting was mostly even. The betting fraternity are carefully reviewing the figures of former years as ^ell as present conditions. Last year Ohio gave McKinley a plurality of 51,000 for president, and it is with this vote of last November for president that the vote of next Tuesday will be compared. -Last year the Republican pluralities were largely in cities. Factional troubles at Cincinnati and Cleveland are expected to reduce these pluralities. As the polls close at 4 p. m. in Cincinnati and Cleveland, the first returns will come from those cities and show Democratic gains. The returns from some other cities are expected to show smaller Democratic gains. The Republicans are counting on gains in the rural districts where prosperity has resumed more than in the towns. The Democrats claim they will hold the rural vote and win out on the changes in the cities.

Republican* Make Hard Fight at Close. Columbus, O., Oct. 31.—In reply to a question in regard to the probable results of the election on next Tuesday, Judge Nash tonight said: "I have carefully considered and examined the results of the polling of the state made by the various county committees, together with the estimates of the chairmen as to the probable results in their counties, independent of the polling, and I am satisfied that the coming election wi,ll result in a victory for the Republicans, not only on the state ticket but in the general assembly. During the last ten days the Republicans have shown great activity, and the dangers from apathy which seemed to exist for a time has passed away. I believe the total vote, of the state will be as large if-not larger than it Was in 1895." ."//

WEYLER'S FAREWELL BOASTS.

Sticks to His Stories of Pacification and Defends His Policy. Havana, Oct. 31.—Captain General Weyler, just prior to his embarkation for Spain, addressed the assembled crowds gathered in his honor/ In the course of his acknowldgements of their "sympathetic references to his approaching withdrawal," he said that be fully understood that their praise was for his policy and not for himself. He declared that he had always done his duty in accordance with his sense of patriotism and that he would leave Cuba with a "serene conscience." He had never cared, he said, for the criticism of himself and the sympathies for the rebels, because he had always felt assured of the "real kindness and wisdom of his policy." He said that his temporary prohibition in connection with the last sugar crop was only intended to prevent the rebefs from raising a loan in the United States. He had always been in favor of grinding, as was afterward done. So.far as the order of concentration was concerned, an order which had been the subject of so much censure by some, it was requested by all Spaniards in Cuba from tne very outset. He did not decide to put it in force immediately, preferring to wait a more favorable opportunity but the results of the concentration policy, once put into force, had been "very favorable to the national interests." "My release from my post and responsibilities," he said, "did not surprise me. I had expected it from, the death of Senor Canovas, not .believing that any political leader would be strong enough to sustain me when the United States and the rebels were together constantly demanding that Spain should come to a settlement. I count it an honor to have been identified with the local Spanish party. But the policy which

I have followed was not adopted in obedience of any present political party, but for what it represented on behalf of my country. Before I came I w$s well aware of the patriotic conduct of the volunteers, and since my arrival I.have often seen it illustrated. I have repeatedly advised the Spanish party not to be intimidated, but to make known to the home government the outcome of the reforms which have been put into force. As for the future, I offer myself, and shall always hold myself in readiness, to serve the .party aiming to retain Cuba for Spain."

The president of the Republic of Santo Domingo has wired Gen. Weyler a farewell greeting, and a wish for the peace^ and prosperity of Spain.

Gen. Weyler has issued the following proclamation to the inhabitants of the island: "More accustomed to the Inclemency of the camp than to the enervating pleasures of the parlor, I am rude and concise. You all know the state of the island when I arrived, and you are convinced that shortly peace will be re-established in the island, extending the alr.eady excellent influence that dominates in t,he Provinces of Havana, Pinar del Rio, Matanzas and Santa Clara, up to the Jucaro trocha. "The sugar estates are preparing for grinding. The railroads are in good condition for passengers and merchandise and the country can be traveled without ambuscades, while incendiarism has been stopped. To reach this stage I have been compelled to resort to rigorou^ measures, but I have always offered pardon in the name of generous Spain to her unnatural sons. I leave the rebellion so reduced as to guarantee Spanish sovereignty, and only by artful means and by a complicity unworthy of Spaniards will the enemies of Spain be able to imperil it." v.

His remarks were directed mainly against Mr. Hanna. He said he had come from Nebraska to bury Marcus Hanna. He charged that Mr. Hanna was at the head of a conspiracy to turn the country over to the financial control of Europe* and also that Mr. Hanna intended to turn the greenbacks over to the National banks.

Regardless of Politic or Religious Creed. New York Paid Homage t^tlie^

New York, Oct. 31.—A mourning city, a

grief-stricken people, today showed honor to the man who had fallen in the battle for

what he believed to be the right. Henry

George, apostle of the single tax, leader of the new Jeffersonian Democracy, stricken on

the eve of election, was honored as no pri

vate citizen of America was ever honored

before. •,, i.

From the dawn to far in the night the outward manifestation of grief lasted, thou

sands gazed upon the familiar, beloved fea

tures, cold in death, yet smiling serenely as

in sleep, other thousands heard stirring ora

tions, magnificent eulogies upon the martyrd dead. In every temple of God, wherever men gathered to worship or gathered to hear lectures and philosophy taught, garlands of praise were bestowed upon the memory of the revered dead.

In the vast auditorium where the dead rested, inspired men, teachers of all faiths, Jews, Christians, Catholics and Episcopalians, with hearts wrung with pain, spoke words which confessedly fell far short of the great waves of emotion that sought tofind utterance.

Not a dissenting voice was heard to the declaration that Henry George was a lover of the people, who he believed wera being oppressed and that hp gave his life, that humanity might live. The eulogies uttered, the day gone, the streets became filled with people who wished to see the funeral cortege as it passed in solemn procession down New fork's greatest streets, thence across Brooklyn bridge, and through Brooklyn's zJ.m\ to the Brooklyn City Hall.

There the public gave over the body to the family and the casket was taken to the .modest home in Fort Hamilton, from which they will be borne to their final resting place in Greenwood tomorrow morning-.*-

At the lowest estimate one hundred and twenty-five thousand people saw the casket, as it wended its way to that point where the public was compelled to stand aside in reverence and sympathy while the family claimed its own.

BODY LYING IN STATE.

Thirty Thousand People Reverently Looked Upon the Dead Philosopher's Face.,

New York, Oct. 31.—The body of Henry George lay in state today in the Grand Central Palace and 30,000 people reverently passed the casket and .looke^ upon

face,

of the dead philosopher. From 9 o'clock in the morning till 3 in the afternoon a stream of men, women and children poured into the hall.

The immense throng was composed of representatives of all classes of all shades of life and all religious opinion.

In the early dawn the body was moved in a plain hearse from Union Square Hotel to the Grand Central Palace, unattended save by the guards of honor and. four policemen. Behind the hearse came a single carriage, Anna George, the youngest daughter who insisted upon accompanying the body to the Central Palace. No persuasion could sway her from her purpose.

At the Palace she arranged tne flowers as she would have them and permitted nq, one to lend the slightest aid.

At 9 o'clock the doors opened and immediately several hundred persons entered the hall with bowed heads. They saw at the head of the hall in an immense bower of floral tributes a plain heavy black covered casket resting on a dais. Through the glass they saw the remains of the great man reposing calmly, hi3 features unruffled, as if in sleep. The left arm rested lightly on the breast, the other by the side. The remains were clad in black broadcloth, a turn down collar, and a plain black tie.

For the first half hour the throng filing up the hall in twos passed at the rate of 1,500 an hour but shortly the numbers swelled and grew until at one time eighty passed each minute. At this rate five thousand an hour, the crowd passed until the churches emptied their audiences into the vast concourse, which was wending its way down from Forty-sixth street to the Palace and which filled Forty-sixth street and Third avenue for many blocks.

A little before 3 o'clock, the line was stopped and those who could not get in were compelled to turn back and get out from the police lines. A careful estimate of the number who could not get in is 30,000. This number is equal to the number of those who passed the casket. Then another throng came—those who wished to hear the eminent clergyman praise Henry George. During the last hour an orchestra played Chopin's funeral march, Handle's "Largo," and "The Lost Chord."

The floral decorations were -profuse. A mass of wreathed flowers was sent by the Chicago Single Tax Club. The casket itself was devoid of any ornament, save the heavy silver handles and the plate, which read: "Henry George. Died October 29th, 1897."

At the back of the platform on a heavy crepe background was a portrait of Henry George, surrounded with American flags. At the front of the platform stood a bust of the fallen leader, modeled by his son, Richard.

At the foot of the pedestal upon which the bronze rested were numerous floral tributes. There were 655 policemen on duty in the neighborhood and in the palace, who handled the great crowd without any disagreeable circumstances.

The crowd came down the avenue five deep and was passed through the hall in twos.

A Sennatlon In the Hollow.

The aristocracy of Sand Burr Hollow was stirred to its social center when it was discovered yesterday that two of its most prominent and exclusive members were to be arrested for living in intimate relations. John Farmer, who was married this past summer. has been charged by his wife with committing adultery with Mrs. Lucy Wilson. Squire Bennrtt issued the warrant to the police.

Strike Will Affect 5SO.0OO People. London, Oct 36.—The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon, commenting upon the threatened strike of ISie Cotton operatives throughout the north of England, feays the lockout will affect 200,000 persons, and adds that the strike will last for months, entail a loss of 70,000,000 pounds sterling, and mean th« fuin of the cotton Industry.

Here is_a case of inherited blood taint which ftaiilted in what threatened to be a complete wreck of an innocent yonng life. The most serious feature of being afflicted with a blood disease is the fact that innpeent posterity must suffer, The man or woman with the slightest taint in the Klood forces the undesirable legacy of impurity upon their children whose xteins flow with the impure inheritance which handicaps them in the race of life.

No child who has a trkce of bad blood can be healthy or strong, and those predisposed to Scrofula are liable to a great deal of sickness, because their constitutions are weak and cannot withstand the many dangers which beset the path of childhood. Medical statistics show that a majority of lung troubles result directly from Scrofula, so that a child affiictea with this disease is likely to fall a victim to dreaded consumption.

Mr. W. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. C., believes S.S.S. is the only blood remedy which can have any effect whatever upon obstinate cases. He says

My three-year-old boy had the worst case of Scrofula I ever heard '»iiT

MR. W. A. CLAYTON.

was given many blood remedies without relief, and treated by the best doctors. He seemed to get worse all the wmie, however1, and

the

and

disease'finallyresulted

in curvature of the spine, making him utterly helpless. Thebftd sores on his neck increased in size, and were a source of constant pain. He was in this pitiful condition tor two years, when some one recommended S.S.S., stating that it had cured some of the worst cases of blood diseases. As soon as his system was under the effect of the medicine, the sores began to get better, and in eight days were completely healed. Before long he could walk on' crutches, and was improving every day. In three months he threw aside his. crutches, for he had no further use fpr them the dreadfnl disease had been eliminated entirely from his system, and he was restored to perfect health. The cure was a permanent one, aS'no sign of the disease has returned for ten years."

S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and promptly reaches all deep-seated and obstinate blood diseases, it matters not what other treatment has failed. It is the only remedy which acts on the correct principle of forcing the disease from the system and getting rid of it permanently.

S. S. S. is a sure cure for Scrofula, Cancer, Catarrh, Eczema, Rheumatism, Tetter, and all other blood diseases. It is

the only remedy guaranteed to

contain

no potash, mercury or other

harmful mineral. Books On blood and skin diseases will be mailed free to afay address by the Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia.

BIG LOCKOUT

KITAIS'S COTTON ME? PLACED IN PEKlli.

Gladi Hojtas Aloof abtl Other'itaatlivg Atfeo Wury Of the JEngi*,eeiV Strike.

n/ Oct. 31.—The industrial difficul

ties in Great Britain increase rather than dirdintelf/ The cotton operatives have flatly refused to accept the proposed 6 per cent reduction, and if this refusal is persisted !B In a lockout is inevitable.

It would affect 200,000 people directly and mean' eijermous loss. Its conseqeuneces would be^ more serious than those of the engineers' strike, in which. the number of me# now idle in the United Kingdom is estimated to be 75,000. It might destroy England's cotton trade.

The organizers of the engineers' strike still insist on submitting the question of an eight-hour day to any conference between themselves and their employers. As this is the main objection from the point of view of the employers, swho refuse to concede it, the deadlock is perfect.

Mr. Gladstone, of course, has been asked to intervene, but writes declining to do so. Mr. Chamberlain Is "convinced that only harm 5ould be done by unsolicited interference of individuals." He will not touch that matter. Neither will the archbishop of Canterbury, who was asked to use his position and authority with a view of arbitration. Dr. Temple replied that he feared "an offer of mediation by the church would as yet have not the slightest chance of success."

Colonel Dyer, who is directing the employers' federation in the dispute, unable to cope with the employes en masse, now proposes to resort to the policy of "divide and so destroy." His line of attack aims to cripple the fighting power of trade unionism.

Mr. Keir-Hardie, the labor leader, would meet this with the desperate remedy of a national strike of workmen. He would pool all the union funds as a fighting fund for the men locked out. "Audacity, audacity, and again I say audacity is what will tell at present,'* according to Keir-Hardie.

The' men are getting tokens of practical syxctpcM^iy fro™ all parts of Great and Greater Britain, and also from countries which ire England's rivals for the commerce of the world.

The engineers of Johannesburg cabled £loOCand the message: "Fight to win. Aus-tria-Hungary and Germany have sent contributions.

DISCOMFITED BULLS.

BREAK IN THE DROCG HT AND CREASED RECEIPTS CAUSED IT.

Chicago, Nov. 1.—Diminishing receipt? and the drought which have been the main supports of wheat for seeral days both went by the board today and the result was a decline of i&c in December and l^c in May. A heavy increase in «ise visible added to the discomfiture of the bulls. Corn and oats were & shade easier. Provisions were firm and advanced T%@12%c. ..

Wheat had to encounter a great number ct discouragements to begin with. and they were added to by one other extremely bearish fature that developed during the day. The breaking of the drought throughout Illinois, Indiana, .Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky, very heavy" receipts of wheat in the Northwest, lower quotations from Liverpool, world's shipments for the week heavier than expected and a further increase in th amount on ocean passage. This was too formidable an array of opposing forces for the bulls to Atand op against, and consequently the opening was at a decline of about 1c per bushel. December ranged from 96\c to 97c at the opening with a few sales immediately after at 96%c. Offerings were not so heavy as expected %nd for this reason a slow recovery to 97%c ensued, which was the highest point of the day. After that prices sagged, the weakness becoming very decided when the figures on the visible were announced. They showed an increas of 3,346,000 bushls. This was a complete surprise and showed how little could be learned of, the changes in stocks In regular elevators of the country by taking the publish daily receipts at the principal markets. Liverpool showed a %d decline at the opening here, but recovered this later. Chicago receipts wer 181 cars. Minneapolis reported 1,660 cars, and Duluth 196, compared with a total of 1,640 a week ago. The quantity on ocean passage showed an increase of 1,120,000 busbels, the English visible supply an increase of 1,289,000 bushels. The total primary market receipts today were 1,861,000 bushels. By about 12 o'clock December had declined to 96c and 'May was selling at 93%c. During the afternoon the market showed some signs of strength. A break of over l%c iwas tempting enough -to many shorts who improved the opportunity to take profits. This buying caused a rally tn December .to 96c, where it closed. May recovered to and closed at 38%c.

Corn was barely steady, closing at a slight recession from Saturday's price. It was due entirely to sympathy with wheat, rather strong statistical news preventing more than a %c decline. The local stocks decreased 232,000 bushels. Receipts were 553 cars, and the rains were expected to aaus a further falling off. Clearances were 252,000 bushels. Visible supply increased 1,186,000 bushels. Business was very modern in volume. December ranged from 27c to 26%c, and closed at 26%c.

Oats were quiet with an easy feeling apparent and prices oft a trifle in sympathy with corn. Only a limited business was transacted, and nothing In the way of features developed. The visible decreased 604,000 bushels. Local stocks fell off 651,000 bushels last week, which steadied the market somewhat. Receipts were1 315 cars. 'December ranged from 19%c to. 19%c and closed a shade lower at 19%c.

Provi9ioos» .though, quiet, were firm all «®.y. Hog receipts were lighter than expected from •the yellow fever districts. Expectation's or a havy decrease in stocks for the month also caused some buying. Cash demand was large. The opening was irregular, but prices firmed /up and a slow but,steady advance ensued. "At the close December pork was 12%c higher at $7.65 December lard 7%c higher at $4.22%. and December ribs

PAPA CLEVELAND ALL SMILES.

Tells Princeton Students They Shall Sec th« Son When He Is a Little Older. Special to the Chicago Tribune.

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 29.—The white mansion under the oaks seemed the only placa of interest on earth this morning, at least so far as Princetonltes were concerned, and daylight had hardly vanquished' the night before callers began to arrive, anxiously inquiring after the health of the baby boy Cleveland. Grover's son, who arrived yesterday shortly after noon. "Both baby and mother doing splendidly," was the reply to all inquiries, and now and then a he&lthy infant cry issued from the colonial room of the white mansion in proof of the statement. All night long the telegraph wires were crowded with messages of congratulations, and the operators had aa much as they could do to receive them. With the morning came congratulations by mail and -by special messenger, and several interesting packages by express.

The ex-president was awake early and 1* fine humor—indeed, It was stated that h« had not slept at all. Long before breakfast time many students called at the white mansion to inquire after the health of both the baby and Mrs. Cleveland. It was as much aa the servants could do to 'prevent the young men becoming too enthusiastic, but as it was they gave three rousing cheers for •'Grover Cleveland.Jr."

The ex-president finally appeared, and With a broad smile on his face thanked the students anc( promised them all a peep at th8 baby just as soon as the little fellow grows strong enough to receive, callers. Then they gave another cheer and went away.

The question of naming the Cleveland baby Is being anxiously disbussed. Almost everybody has already looked upon Grover, Jr., as the most appropriate.

It would be difficult, indeed, to conceive ol many American babies whose proud papaa would be likely to receive any such message as this, which reached ex-President Cleveland at his Princeton home today. 'Windsor Castle, via. London.—To the Hon. Grovfer Cleveland, ex-president of the United States, Princeton, N. J.: -Felicitations on this day: of your happiness.^ and may your heir bring yoy Joy., •*f 4 "Victoria.'

Mrs. Cleveland, dressed In the charming negligee of ocnvalescence, was permitted for a few hours to receive -the congratulations of her friends, who clustered at the bedside for that purpose. She also took pains to explain'to Ruth, and Esther, and Marlon how nice it would be to have a little brother to escort them, to parties, to reveal their secrets to their admirers, to let the sawdust out of their dolls, and in other ways extend to them his protection and patronage.

Policeman Boyle had his troubles in the North End Saturday night. He was struck in the back with a big rock, and but for the free use of his club would have been roughly handled. There were about sixty Hallowe'en people in one crowd, and they met the officer at Eleventh and Lafayette avenue. They had just pried over an outhouse, in which was a woman, and were taking everything before them when stopped by the policeman. Boyle couldn't arrest them, but he did make them take to their heels, fle didn't accomplish this, however, until after he had been stoned by some of the young thugs.
