CINCINNATI , Nov. 5. On Tuesday the
electors of Ohio will cheese a governor , lieu
tenant governor , treasurer of state , attorney
general , judge of the supreme court , member
of the Board of Public Works and food nnd
dairy commissioner on the s tate ticket , and on
the county tickets they will cheese members
of the scr.ato and house of representatives ,
forming the general assembly and county
omccrs. There are also two amendments to
the constitution to bo voted on , one pro-
Tiding for single representative districts in.
counties where moro than ono representa
tive is elected , and the other a taxation
amendment.
The republicans have practically rcnomi-
natcd their present state ofilccrs which brings
Governor McKinley and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Harris up as candidates for a second
term.
The democratic nominee for governor is
Lawrence T. Neal of Hess county and for
lieutenant governor W. A. Taylor of Frank
lin county.
From the chnractcr of the nominations for
governor It has necessarily almost been a
campaign based on national Issues. Gov
ernor MoIClnley's connection with the pres
ent tariff law naturally brought him into the
discussion ot the principle of protection and
his campaign speeches have been largely
devoted to that subject , with some refer
ence to the currency question and to the
nttltudu of the administration toward pen
sioner ! * .
Mr. Ncal hns spout much of his time on
the stump in controverting MoKinloy's pro
tection theories and in enforcing his own
views in favor of n tariff for revenue only.
Thus state issues have been kept in the
bacKground. The people have shown intense
Interest by attending in unusually large
numbers nil the meetings from the beginning
of the campaign.
The republicans , resting on the national
reputation of their candidate and on the dis
satisfaction among democrats , growing outof
the llnanclal depression and the disagree
In congress on the silver coinage ques
tion , have from the beginning claimed the
election of McKinley by majorities ranging
from i.5COO to 00,000 , although Harrison's
plurality last year ( with which comparisons
will bo made ) was only 1,072.
The democrats do not concede these claims ,
but they are by no means so conlident of
carrying the state na are the republicans.
Chairman Seward of the democratic state
committee states that ho has made no esti
mate of the result and that ho will not do bo.
Ho will only bay that ho is hopeful of mak
ing H good showing and that ho thinks the
democrats will carry the legislature , as ho
tlunlc-s they will win in both Hamilton and
Cuyahoga counties.
Chairman Dick of the republican state
committee also declines to pivo an estimate ,
but it is learned that the committee fools as
certain of carrying both branches of the
legislature as it docs of electing McKinloy.
There is n sort of understanding that it
expects at least 'jriOuO , plurality for Mc
Kinloy.
The prohibition party and populists each
have state tickets in the Hold.
KANSAS POPS CONP1UKNT.

nt thn I'ollB.
TornuA , Nov. 5. The election in Kansus
tomorrow will bo for clerk , treasurer , sheriff ,
register of deeds , coroner , surveyor and
county commissioner In each county , and for
judges In thirteen of the thirty-live judicial
districts.
Ajfior the crushing defeat of the repub
licans in 1&03 it was generally predicted that
they would never n 'aiii make n stand in the
etato. The republicans nro , however , in the
campaign this year as usual , nnd as the
.populists nro without democratic aid in all
but thirteen counties , thcru is a prospect
that the republicans will recover some of
their lost ground.
The populists claim to bo confident that
that they will hold tholr ground , The state
was never inpro thoroughly canvassed than
it HUB been this year , both thu republicans
and populists putllm ; forth every effort.
As It Is like no other election that has
ever been held in the state , there Is no data
from which to forecast the result. The pop-
ulistH to maintain their prestige for the
fight next year , must pall a plurality of all
the votes cast , in the state , not counting
those of the democrats , who , It is conceded
on nil sides , will have a ticket of their own
In 1804. _

I ouisvn.i.E , Nov , B. The Jlrst election
under the now constitution will bo hold In
Kentucky next Tuesday. One-half of the
senate nnd members of the house of repre
sentatives are to bo elected. For the ilrst
time the voting will bo by secret bal
lot. The only Issue in the legislative
contests among the democrats in the
early stages of the campaign was on the
question of thu United States bonutor-
6 111 p. The iivoueil democratic candidates
are Scimlor Lindsay and Congressman
McCreary. A larjo ; majority of the demo
cratic aspirants for legislative honors pro
claimed themselves for Lindsay at the com
mencement of the campaign , hnd there Is no
doubt that thu now Icguluturo will elect the
big Kontuoklan. As to the political com
plexion of the legislature , It is not probable
there will bo any material change.
In this and other cities municipal ofllccrs
are to bo oloctcd , For tbo first tlino in

lo pieces and the voter Is called upon to
choose between the regular and independent
candidates , with the chances about evenly

nr.NVF.il , Nov. 5. At the local election
Wednesday when county ofllccrs will bo voted
for It anpcars that nearly every citizen of
Arapahoe county will bo voted for , for ono
ofllco or another. There are eleven tickets
In the ttcldnnd exactly f > 39 candidates , which
beats the record of any county In the history
of the west.
The tickets nro ns follows : Democratic ,
republican , people's party , free coinage
democracy , Independent citizens , straight
people's party , prohibition , independent
people's partv , Independent frco colnairo
democracy , liberal frco coinage party and
Independent republican party.
It is needless to say that every ono ot
these factions advocate the free and un
limited colnazo of silver. The disturbing
elements which have divided the voters of
this county Into so many parties , are the
populist movement and tno secret organiza
tion known as the American Protective
association. The people's party , which now
has control ot the state , Is divided In this
opinion , and has fused with several other
factions. The American Protective associa
tion succeeded in getting candidates upon
nearly ovcry ticket In the field , which fact
was not. generally known until after the
conventions bad been held. This organisa
tion Is bolng bitterly fought , and will doubt
less bo defeated.
Another question which is creating no
llttlo Interest , Is equal suffrage. The nidi-
cation today Is that it will bo carried.
The leading candidates for sheriff , are :
William C. Burchlncll , ( rep. ) , Silas W.
Chancy , people's party and frco coinage
democrat , and Benjamin D. Spencer , who Is
on the Independent citizens , and two or
throe other tickets. It is absolutely Impos
sible to predict with any degree ot certainty
which ono will win.

Dus Moixc * , Nov. 5. Iowa votes Tuesday
for governor , lieutenant governor , superin
tendent of public instruction , railway com
mission , Judge of the supreme court , to
gether with afull , lower house of the ccncral
assembly nnd n majority of the members of
the upper houso. The legislative ticket is
considered of great Importance as at the
next session a successor will bo elected to
Senator Wilson , whoso term expires In 18UI.
At the republican headquarters they claim
n plurality lor Jackson of 1.500 with a little
moro on the remainder of the ticket on ac
count of the light made on Jaclcson by the
prohibitionists , and safe majorities in both
houses of the legislature.
The democrats are equally conllilrnt of the
election ot Governor Boies and the remainder
of tiii-ir ticket. They feel that prohibition
disaffection will deplete the republican
ranks. They find it dinlcult to make esti
mates because of the populist vote , which is
expected to conio largely from the demo
cratic nui Us.
The repeal of the Sherman law has re
sulted in prroatly-Increased activity on the
part of tbo populis's during the past few
da.vs. Their secretary feels confident that
their candidate for governor , Josenh , will
poll 00,0011 votes. They also expect to elect
suvcral.legislators , nnd are hoping to secure
the balance of power. The prohibitionists
claim at least 80,000 for their candidate for
governor , Bennett Mitchell. They say that
the principal object of their campaign has
been to save enough legislative districts to
prevent a repeal oftho prohibitory law.
I-sSUK IN NEW YOIllv.
Campaign L'ouulit Wholly on Opposition to
JudEO Mtiyimrd.
NEW YOUK , Nov. 0. The ono Issue in the
campaign in New York has been the nomi
nation of Isaac II. Maynard for associate
Judge in the court of appeals by the
democracy. National Issues have been
almost entirely ignored. It is claimed that
in Ib'Jl Judge Maynurd , in his ofllclal
capacity , unlawfully removed from the olllco
of the secretary of state tlio election returns
sent there by order of the supreme court.
It was charged that the motive was to pre
vent a counting of the returns by the Board
of State Canvassers until n now return could
bo made out and forwarded.
The result of the contest in the courts
practically sustained 'Judge Maynard und
cave the democratic party a majority of ono
lir the state senate , giving It also com
plete control of every department of the
state government. Sanguine republicans
predict a sweeping victory for their whole
ticket.Vhllo they may again secure con
trol of tko senate , the moro conservative of
both paitics believe that the democrats will
hauo n majority on joint ballot.

WASHINGTON , Nov . , U. )
Again the statement Is made , and this
tl.no with such circumstantiality as to
appear true , that Senator Voorhces Intends ,
as soon ns congress convenes , to cither In.
troduco n free silver coinage bill or plvo
vigorous support to one introduced by
bo y else.
No elaboration is necessary to illustrate
the absurdity of such a stop upon the part
of the chairman of the flnanco committee.
Ho knows bettor than any other man that
oven If such n measure was passed by con
gress it woulu not bo signed any.sooner by
Mr. Cleveland than if It were a death war
rant for the president of the UnltciTstiitcB.
The Indiana senator Is said to bo suffering a
great deal Just now over the gloomy outlook
of his future political career , nnd almost any
proposition which ho might make would
causa llttlo surprlsu to his intimate
personal friends In Washington ; but to sup
port a free coinage bill so early after his
recent performances would bo so bold n presumption -
sumption upon the Intelligence of his Hooslor
constituents as to call for an Immediate re
buke. Whatever the senator may do now
to reconcile his greenback und tint followers
nt homo , ho openly declares himself In favor
of the unlimited coinage of silver. It is
stated that the Hooslcr senator Is so nppro-
henstvo of a cool reception nt his homo that
ho has deferred a visit to his constituents
until the regular session is ended and tbo
clouds roll by.
Hot Ono for llolie.
There Is yet hope for such silver men as
William Jennings Bryan. The fact that ho
antagonizes the anti-silver policy of the
president is said to not surely seal his doom
as far as uflloial favor Is concerned. Editor
A. W. Lyman of Helena , Mont. , who Is col
lector of Internal revenue for that state and
Wyoming , is here. Ho called upon Secretary
Hoko Smith yesterday , and during the
course of a personal conversation the secre
tary upbraided the Montana editor for holdIng -
Ing an olllco and at the same time antagoniz
ing the llnanclal' policy of the president.
Mr. Lyman Is u staunch democrat , but an
ardent frco silver man in all capacities.
Secretory Smith asked him what ho thought
must ; bo the president's opinion of the man
who would suck and hold an oflleo under him
and at the same time refuse to make his
newspaper conform to the financial policy of
the administration. Editor Lyman retorted
hotly :
" 1 should think ho would have moro re
spect for the editor who refused to change
his views in order to hold olllco than no
would for the editor who changed his views
and the policy ot his newspaper in order to
gut an ofllcc. "
Secretary Smith changed the subject , it
will bo remembered that he was a free sil
ver mail and so was his nowsnapcr , the At
lanta Journal , up to a short time bqforc ho
was made secretary of the interior. JSow
both nro for a gold standard.
It is said the president would like to hedge
on his anti-silver policy and recognize with
ofllcc a few prominent silver advocates , and
Mr. Bryan is looking more hopeful thatsomo
of his friends may got a small fish or loaf
thrown us a tub to the silver wliulo.

Representatives Moiklejohn and Hainor
will go to Richmond , Va. , tomorrow to wit
ness the mode of conducting a real bourbon
election. They intend to visit the polls at
all times of the day on Tuesday in some of
the heaviest black wards in Richmond and
see how the negro is deprived of his vote.
It is done , as they will see , by keeping the
black man's vote out of the ballot box. In
Richmond and other largo cities of A'irglnla
it is the custom for the negroea to got into
line in front of the voting places on the
night before the election , so as to present
their ballots early in the morning. When
the polls close there are always in line at
each voting place from 100 to 800 blacK men ,
about whoso right to vote there is not the
least question. Nearly all of them
were born and raised in the voting
urccinct , as Virginia negroes are not
'nomadic in disposition. There is always a
space Kept open in the crowd about the polls
for white men to approach and cast their
ballots , and there Is always time and oppor
tunity for their ballots to bo received , but
there is never either time noropportunlty for
the receipt of a colored vote. Tno judges at
the polls , when there are no white votes to
bo received , amuse themselves In catechising
the colored voters In line and making fun of
the crowd.
Hiimple Sc-ono In Itirhmond.
When the sun rises on Richmond Tuesday
morning there will bo.many thousand black
men standing In long lines before the polls
and they will bo Jeered ut ns their mothers ,
wives or daughters approach and servo them
coffee and probably u piece of broad.
The sumo will bo done ut noon and
then there will bo bourbon jeers
when the polls close at sundown and the
long lines break and the poor negro sees
again that his efforts to veto luivu been
fulilo.
This program has been followed regularly
every two years since the war , and no pun
ishment Is over muted out tb the guilt.v par-
tics. It is to witness the old scene that
Messrs. Mclklejohu and Hnlnor go into Richmond
mend and j.robably Petersburg tomorrow.

r.li'.S FINANCIAL PLANS.
Various Schemes by Which It l Propoicd
to KepIonUh tlio Trrnsnry.
WASHING ro.v , Nov. B. Secretary Carlisle
did not send any Intimation ot a publla
nature to congress Indicating ho wanted any
legislation to rollovo the treasury , but it is
known the ways and moans committee has
taken Into consideration the finances of the
treasury and that possibly It would have
been nblo to act if a request had been mado.
Various methods have been discussed by the
majority members of the committee , nt , it Is
shown by the conversation with them that
they had in mind different projects which
thovwcro milling to present should oppor
tunity offer.
It is possible that the first thin ? the com
mittee will bo called upon to do when congress -
gross reassembles will bo to put through
some urgent deficiency measure for the
treasury. This may bo donu by increasing
the internal loveiiuo taxes for the time be
ing by issuing bonds , or by another method
which seems to meet with considerable
favor in some ouurtcrs. Between & 0,000OUO
nnd $30,000,000 of United States bonds are
falling duo or soon will bo due. It has been
suggested that these bonds be paid by > Issu
ing treasury warrants , These warrants
would have to bo authorized bv congress ,
and , although called warrants , would simply
be another irnmo for greenbacks , The owner
of the bonds could demand payment in vein ,
but this could bu supplied by silver , or even
gold , as the treasury warrants would bo re-
decmablo In gold , the same as the green-
baco.
As lonir as the government maintains the
parity of nil its currency it would not make
any difference to the bondholder whether ho
received his money in greenbacks or silver ,
which would bo discretionary with the sec
retary of the treasury. The advisability
has been discussed of authorizing the pay
ment of bonds In these warrants , thus put
ting more money in circulation aud at the
sumo time relieving the situation In the
treasury to a considerable cxUfaU
Another subject which Has been dis
cussed by some inombersiof thd latter com
mittee U the proposition tOjfeuthorlza the
issue of a certain amount of greenbacks to
supply the deficiency In rrtvomics which the
tariff reduction will tnnkfl , nt least , until It
is ascertained just what Amount of rovcmio
is needed and what the-neUml increases and
decreases will bo. - 1
Another member of , tpp ways nnd means
committee said there would bo no dlfllculty
over the treasury short.tjjo , and there wcro
many wavs the government could subply the
deficiency without increasing the burdens
of the pooplo. .it
"I have no doubt , " said ho. "that all the
sclcnlor.igo will bo coined , thus giving the
treasury about &M,000,00Jnddltionul ( money. "

WASHINGTON , Nov. 5. There is n growing

A telephone mcssago was received from
Jamestown that the pursuing bloodhounds
wcro within rifle shot of the robbers and
that th ly wore firing at the hounds. At 2 p.

from this city. The saddle was perforated
with bullets and the horse badly wounded.
In the saddlebags were found several gold

place , but no ouo was hurt.
The bandits were making for the White

corralcd in the caves along the banks of
that stream. At least 100 men are out and
it is thought to bo impossible for the bandits
to escape.
In the skirmish which took plnco in the

tSXI by Lie Aisoctntetl ,
MAimin , Nov. 5. The tornblo dlsastet
which has Wrecked the port of Santnndor
nnd destroyed hundreds of lives has sent a
thrill of horror throughout Spain. Tele
graphic communication with the douth and
lire stricken locality has not boon reopened ,
the particulars concerning the horrlblo
calamity reaching hero in driblets and by n
roundabout way , such as dispatches from
outlaying towns.
The Associated press , however , is enabled
to furnish what is regarded In this capital
ns a complete story of the disaster , so far as
is known. Every piece of news which
reaches Mnilrld not only confirms the most )
scnsitlcnaliroports : , but pictures the disaster
In more vivid colors than hitherto portrayed.
The story of this great disaster In brlof , as
gathered for the Associated press. Is as
follows :
DetnlU of the Dlsoitor.
The C.ibo Mlchlcaco , a Spanish steamship
belonging to Bilbao , caught Hro at about 8
o'clock Friday afternoon while the steamer
was alongside the quay discharging part of
her cargo , which comprised nearly 2,000 tons
of inerchamliso , though the main part of this
cargo was Iron ere and a number of sacks ot
flour , barrels of wine , many cases of petro
leum and over 500 cases of dynamite , of
which only twenty cases were designated
on the steamer's manifest. The remaining
4SO cases of dynamite were contraband , and
to the shame of the shippers of this contra
band dynamlto , it has caused immense loss
of life and vast damage to property.
The lire was first discovered in the coal
bunkers and is said to have boon duo either
to spontaneous combustion or to some care
lessness upon the part of the engineers or
firemen. Jn any case , flames broke out from
the bunkers at about the hour mentioned
and soon raged BO fiercely as to bo beyond
control of the ship's crow , though the latter
promptly took stc > ps to smother the flro. *
1 ' Civil Authorities Notlflad. * * " '
Finally , seeing the flro was spreading la
the bunkers and that the smoke was driving :
the crow from below , the local authorities
wcro notified , the tire department and a de
tachment of the civic guards being sent to
the scone. Loading municipal authorities
headed the fireman tiind guards in the effort )
to save the steamoV.
The provlndlal fjovornor , who was ono of
thcflrst to reach tho9potjdlsplaycd the great
est activity in' directing tko operations , and
upon learning that the ship's manifest showed'
that there were twenty cases of dynamlta
on board , the llrcmou were directed to assist )
the crew In bringing this quantity of oxplo-
slvo matter ashore. This was done In safety.
It wus behoved that no moro dynnmlto ro-
malned on board , and a tug which had bscn
hastily summoned to the spot was ordered
to tow the burning vessel out into ilia bay In
order that the ilamcs might not communi
cate to tin wharf nnd to adjoining property ,
which was of a decidedly cotnbustiblo
nature , many of the buildings consisting of
rickety old houses which a few sparks might
sot on fire.
Thnuxiinils Cronded the Quny.
In the meantime thousands of people
crowded down to the quay and thronged the
promenades about It attracted by the flro ,
for the blaze from the bunkers soon acted as
a beacon , which guidcdlurgo numbers of the
Inhabitants toward the water's edge ,
anxious to sco this novel sight. News was
soon spread throughout the town that the
civic guard and ilro department were engaged -
gaged In a struggle on the quay with a con-
flagratlon which threatened to destroy a
largo steamship. The flro from the ship's
bunkers spread quickly and ignited the
petroleum which formed part of the cargo ,
which the authorities had for some reason
or other failed to remove -when the twenty
cases of dynamite were taken ashore.
About 4:30 : p. m. n detonation on board
showed , us It aftarvards turned out , that
the bailers had burst , and soon after there !
was another terrible detonation hoard.
Aw ul ItcKUlt of the l iplo lun. < l
The steamer seemed to open in half , send *
ing a bluzo of ilro ukyward over which a
crown of Hiuoko rested for several minute * .
A report of such awful intensity was hoard
that U shook the earth for miles around ,
caused houses to totter , smashed every win
dow pane within the radius of a ilflo shot ,
filled the air with n muss of flying Iron , burn-
Ing wood , blackened timbers and scorched
beams which boon after fell , a death dealing
hall , upon the neighboring houses , scattering
death and destruction wherever they crushed
downward.
The scene following the blowing up of the
steamer is almost indescribable unu the
effect of tbo explosion of these 480 cases of
dynamite will hardly bo bolioved. The
power of the oxploslvo shot tons of Iron into
the air , where it mingled with the burning
fragments of the steamship , tug and wooden
quay , as well as with the mangled bodies of
hundreds of the unfortunate people who
were hurled upward ut the same time and
the falling of this horrlblo mass can bo bottoi
imagined than described.
Sccnu of n I'anlo.
Over the adjoining buildings , tottering
with wreckage , fell a shower of Iron fol
lowed by huge pieces of wood and the re *
mains of human bodies , and nbovo all
dropped flaming splinters vrhloh set ilro to
hundreds of buildings , causing1 a scene ot
paniu similar , ono would imagine , to the ona
which would have succeeded tbo ouratlng
forth of n volcano at the water's edgo.
The force of the exploding dynamite
caused such u concussion that , in addition to
shaking thousands of buildings oft their
foundations , it actually sank a small crats
in the harb&r In addition to totting fire to n
largo number uf other vessels and starting
11 res on several of the larger ships , Includ
ing the AlfODio XII , which voml , as b *
