Governors will be elbcted to-morrow
in Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland,
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Missis—
sippi and elections willbe held in Penn-
sylvania, New Jersey and New York for
other State officers. It goes without
saying that Mississippi Will elect the en--
tire Democratic State ticket and Legis-
lature, as there is practically be con-
test, and it can be eliminated from im-
portant political calculations. The
following table exhibits the majorities
given in these States at important State
elections in 1892, 1893 and 1891.

election ‘3
It Will be seen that in the elections of
the last two years the Republicans have
made marvelous gains, culminating in
189-1 in the largest majorities that party
has ever received in the states named.
Kentucky is the only one of the states
givenin the table that gave a Demo-
cratic majority last year for Congress,
but it was reduced to 2,650. There was
no election in that state in 1893. Mary-
land gave large Democratic majorities
in 1893 and 1893, but in 1894: flopped to
2,000 Republican majority on the Con-
gressional vote, there being no state
ticket to elect. New Jersey voted
Democratic in 1893 by 14,974, but gave
a Republican majority in 1893 on a. leg—
islative ticket of 28,832, and a. like ma-
jority of 48,514 in 1894 on a Congress-
ional ticket. New York swung from
43,518 Democratic for President in 1892
to 24,481 Republican for Secretary of
State in 1893, and 156,103 against Hill
for Governor in 1891. Iowaand Mas-
sachusetts voted steadily Republican
during the three years named, and
each year with largely increased ma-
jorities.
The fact [hit the Democratic states
of Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey
and New York are all regarded as fair-
ly doubtful for the election of Tuesday.
presents a new phase of political ost-
mates. Kentucky seems likely to elect
a Republican Governor with the re-
mainder of the state ticket Democratic,
and a Democratic legislature.
Maryland is admittedly doubtful on
the entire State ticket, and the Legis-
lature is likely to be in harmony with
thejnew State government. New Jer-
sey is fairly debitable, but the chances
of McGill, Democrat, have improved
during the last two weeks, and his
election as Governor is not improbable.
New York is in inextricable political
confusion owing to the various efforts
from different sources to overthrow
Tammany again, but~the success of
Tammany in the city,is certainly possi-
ble and rather p’i‘obable, with at least
chances for the repiiblicans to carry
the Slate ticker.
There are no visible political tides
throughout the country, and it is im-
possible to make estimates approach-
ing accuracy. Ohio is more convulsed
‘IlJIl any of the states named, and even
K I with the large norm il Republican mi-
jority increased last year to 137,087, it
is within the range of possibility that
the Democrats may elect the Gavernor.
Outside of Ohio .. light vote Will be
polled by both. parties. and the only
way'to be safe as to results in these
States is not to guess at all about them,
at least not with an enthusiasm backed
by wagers.

Liquor Dealers to Contest.
The liquor dealers of Westport are
now in arms and ready for the battle
which is likely to result from the con-
tested election. The election is to be
contested upon the technicality that
the booth-tenders signed the envelopes
with their initials rather than their full
names. Should the county commission-
ers recognize the illegalfty of the elec-
tion upon these technical grounds the
State Law and Order League will take
ahead and take the matter into the
superior courts. No licenses have yet

An Old Sliver.
Last Friday evening, a res1dent of
Leonard street, called at the assessors’
office for the purpose of handing in his
list. After the list had been filled out
andlhe party was asked to sign it he
said, “Won’t you sign it for me? I
stucka sliver in my hand yesterday
audit pains me so I cannot write.”
“Certainly. I will witness your mark,”
said theasscssor, “but if I remember
aright ion had a sliver in the same
band when you brought in your list
lastfyear as well as the year before
that.” And turning to the books he
found such to be the fact. There was
quite a laugh at Patrick's expense . in
which he did not join. . . . l

‘l BIG PURSE OFFERED.
l‘wo Wealthy Waterbury Sports
Said to Have Offered a $30,000
' Pilr‘se for the Corbett-Fitz-
slmmons Fight.
Protection Guaranteed.
A dispatch from Waterbury states
that T. H. Hayes and Robert McGrath,
of that city, offer a purse of $30,000 for
ameeting between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons.
They stand ready to post the amount
with any reputable man of New York
on the signing of an agreement to fight
within 10 miles of Waterbury.
It is said that‘the offer lias'been sub-
mitted to the backers of the two pugi-
lists and protection is guaran iced.
The financial responsibility of the
men is unquestioned. Hayes is a whole-
sale liquor dealer and politician and
McGrath is proprietor of a leading
sporting resort in that city.
Congregational Church.
At the First Congregational church
yesterday the audiences were quite
large both morning and evening. The
morning hour was devoted to Holy
Communion and five new members
were received into the church. In the
evening the pastor gave the last of his
series of discourses upon “Future Pun-
ishment” taking for his text, Rev. 22:
11, 12. His subject was “Some possibly
un-noted facts and c:nsiderations per-
taining to the Doctrine." Among these
he named the following: (I) The
strength of the language employed by
the compassionate Christ. (2) The
necessity of human punishment, human
nature being what it is. (’3) This pun-
ishment will be not so much inflicted
as reaped. (4) Whatever the awful-
ness of future retribution, God has
providedaway of escape for all who
will accept it.
Tenth Anniversary.
It is exactly ten years to-day since
Charles H. Hoyt assumed the superin-
tendency of the Norwalk town farm.
He says that at the time he went there,
the beds were alive with vermin, and
that the same was true of several of the
inmates. Everything including the
boarders at the institution were sub—
jected to a thorough cleaning and Mr.
Hoyt says that everything is now “as
clean as a whistle.” When he assumed
charge, there were thirty beds, and but
thirteen sheets. ' The farming imple-
ments were of little or no use. All this
had been changed and Mr. Hoyt now
has what he believes to be a model town
farm, and he at least is a model town
farm keeper. '
Thought it No Sin.
the door of a church in Lakewood, N.
J., yesterday; “There will be no ser-
vice in our church to-day, as our most
beloved pastor has been suddenly called
away.” The pastor is Rev. Joseph
White and he was under arrest for
stealing coal, having been caught in the
act. He said that his Conscience told
him that it was no sin to get coal when
it was going to a place where good was
to be done. He was singing a hymn
while stealing the coal. .
"Firing” at the Hour and News.
The esteemed Sentinel, “still harping
on my daughter,” fired one of its
spunky broadsides at the County Com-
missioners for not giving it a share of
the liquor dealer’s advertising .and then
gives the Hour and Daily News, this
spiteful thrust:
“It was given out here six weeks be-
fore the time for publication of license
applications that the two papers ofleast
circulation had been designated by the
Commissioners for that purpose.”
A German Feast.
Otto, the baker and Herman Smeidel
his brother-in—law, gave the members

terday afternoon. The table was

All ERIE CANAL, PROBLEM.
The Great Waterway an a Generator of
Electrical Power. _
Lyons, N. Y., Nov. 4.——Dr. M. A.
Veeder of this village, well known in
scientific circles, has written the editor of
a scientific journal the following letter:
“Your editorial on the long distance
transmission of Water power taken in con-
nection with recent experiments in eleco
trio traction on the Erie canal suggests
the inquiry as to whether the Erie canal-
ltself might not serve in part as a. means
for the economical distribution of the
power derived, for example, from the do.
scent of the waters of Lake Erie to a 10W'
or level at Lockpcrt. There is a fall of
about 61 feet at a distance of about 26
miles from Buffalo. Near Rochester there
is a fall in the canal of about 40 feet. At
a distance of 90 miles from Buffalo, still
farther eastward, there is a succession of
falls in the height of the canal, the waters
of Lake‘Erle extending to the neighbor-
hood of Cayuga lake, 160 miles east of
Buffalo, with a. descent of about 80 feet
east of Rochester. If the waters of the
canal were used for the~ generatidn of
power for electric traction at the points
most favorably situated throughout this .
section, it might prove to be economical.
It certainly looks like a problem Worth
studying.” .
In an interview with your correspond
cut Dr. Veeder said the fall in the Eric
canal betwacn Bufialo and Cayuga lake is;
greater than the fall at Niagara falls and
is distributed over adistanee of more than
160 miles. When the question of harness‘
ing the cataract at Niagara Falls was
raised, it was discovered that there would
be a vast leakage in transmitting power. ‘
The distance at first calculated upon here
is the‘solution of the problem. The canal
itself will furnish the motive power for
generating electricity to be used in pro-
pelling boats upon itself. Dr. Veeder
added: “The only question is, Is it the
most economical plan? For my part,l
think it is.”
HILL CALLS THEM OUTLAWS. ii
The Dlscharged Great Northern Employees
Will Not Be Reinstatcd.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 4.—When asked yester-
day regarding the statement of the special
A. R. U. committee investigating grieVa
ances of the Great Northern employees,
President Hill said:
“You- may say, if you like, they are
men who are not in the employ of the
company. They represent nobody. They
are men who have committed offenses,
have been discharged for offenses against
the government for disobeying orders, for
refusing to obey the orders of their su-
periors or for stealing. We do ”not want
to have anything to do with them.
“So far as the discharged employees are
concerned,” said Mr. Hill, “they are out-
laWs in the majority and men that will
never be employed by this company under
any circumstances. The Great Northern
road is now ina. position to deal with
these people. In ourformer encounter
with them We had no means of protection
whatever. We are ready for them, and
this will be no strike, because the alleged
committee does not represent our em‘
ployees.” '
THE BIG FIGHT IS OI'I'.
Corbett and Fitzsimmons Will Not Meet

LITTLE ROCK. Nov, 4.—-All hope of a
meeting in' the pugilistio arena between
Champion Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons
is at an end, and the big fight is positively
off.
The Fitzsimmons party will remain
here until Tuesday, giving an exhibition
in the meantime. All talk of propositions
for a fight’elscwhere between Corbett and
Fltzsimmons is idle. Julian acknowl-
edged today that he had no money, and
that there was no prospect of a. fight any-
where. It is common talk here now that
the Whole party is financially embar-
rassed, and that the proceeds of the exhi.
bition will be necessary to meet current
expenses and get the party out of town.
