In the Second dis trict Jesse K Slralllngs. silver democrat , will bo elected by 4.000 plurality over Thomas II. Clark , sound money democrat nnd republican , and J. C. Fonvlllo , populist.

In the First dis trict n sliver republican , John G. Shafroth , who Is now n representative , will bo reelected - elected by a plurality of 48.000. Ho has been Indorsed by the democrats and popu lists. and his only opponent Is Thomas Mc Clelland , representing the gold republicans , who will poll sonio 22,000 votes. Mr. Shaf- rotli's plurality In 1S94 was only 13,457. TlicVo Is In this district a contest regarding the McKlnley ticket , which may not bo ac cepted by the secretary of state , and theru- fore the silver candidate will have a walk over. The estimate hero Is based upon the statements of the gold men. The silver ad vocates do not admit that any votes will bo cast for sound money. In the Second congressional district all parties have united upon the support of John C. Dell , populist , who Is at present a representative. Iho silver republicans traded Shafroth In the First district for Dell In the Second , withdrawing their nomi nee nnd leaving the field without a contest until tbo gold republicans nominated Thomas H. Holfmlro in the Second district. * Mr. Hoffmlro will poll nbout 15,000 votes. Mr. Bell will Imvo a plurality of at least 50.000 , though the populists declare his plurality will bo 75,000. , COXXKGTICIJT. lCtlmUi"l Dlst. Hep. Dem. Pop.

This state will remain solid for republicanism and j sound money. The present representatives j In the house1 will be re-elected with Increased - j creased pluralities. The dovotlon to honest i finance In this state will preclude any other possibility. There does not seem to bo any disposition on the part of the farmers to support the free silver craze. In the First district E. Stephens Henry. the present republican representative , will bo rctuined by n plurality of 9.000. R. Henry Hyde Is the national democratic nominee , and he will receive 11,000 votes. There are no candidates' willing to pledge themselves cither as frco sllverltes or as populists. J. H. Halo may receive the 5,000 votes , which would go to any candidate representing these fallacies. Mr. Henry's plurality In 1S94 was 5,207. In the Second district N. I ) . Spcrry. now a representative , and who was elected In 1S94 with a plurality of 0,928 votes , will bo re turned at this election with a plurality of 15,332 votes. His chief opponent will be the popocratlc candidate , Austin 11. Fuller , who wll poll 17,9f > j votes. The national democrats have nominated H. Holton Wood , who will receive some 2,500 votes. Charles A , Russell , republican , has been rcnomlnatcd In the Third district , and will bo re-elected with a plurality of 5.000. His plurality In 1S94 WHS 3,048. There Is no icgular popocratlc candidate In this district. Henry L. Hammond , national democrat , will receive , however , about 7,000 votes. The plurality which will re-elect E. J. Hill , republican , to congress , will bo Increased - j creased this year from G.453 In 1891 to 13,017. His only serious antagonist U Michael J. Houlihan , popocratlc , who will poll 12,857 votes.

Present estimates of the congressional canvass In this state Indicate the election of L. Irving Handy , regular democratic and frco silver candidate for congress. Two years ago the vote stood : Willis , republican , 19,519 ; Han- croft , democrat , 18,192 ; Bullock , prohibition , 5SI ; Donohuc , Independent , Cl ; a total of 38,686. ' i This was the largest vote ever cast In the state , and unless the promise of the first ( lay's registration In Wilmington Is im proved , this year's total will not go above 33,000. The nominees are : Handy , demo crat nnd frco silver ; Thomas F. Bayard. Jr. , sound money democrat ; Robert 0. Hous ton , regular republican ; Jonathan S. Willis , union ( Addlcks ) republican ; William A. Farlcs , prohibitionist. If the republicans and democrats were united the election would bo very close , with chances In favor of the latter by a margin of GOO or COO. The bitterness of the republican division , however , gives the democrats almost an .assurance of victory. The extent of the sound money democratic vote Is problematical , ns some of It will undoubtiMlly bo cost for thu McKlnley electors , nnd the difficulty ot ecratchlng the olllclal ballot may cost Bayard , for congress - , gross , several hundred votes.

In many of the districts the con test will be a walkover. The Flfdt district will return Uufus E. Lester , democrat , by 9,000 plurality. His re- publlcau opponent Is J. S. Doyle. The popu list Is G.

The Indications nro that the present delegation from Illinois to the house of representatives will be con siderably changed by the election next month. The determined canvass of both parties leaves many districts , which were certain strongholds in 1S94 , lit doubt. Tbo democratic managers , however , concede the election of the republicans In the First , Seventh , Eighth , Ninth. Tenth , Twelfth and Thirteenth districts. The estimates used ore those based upon a careful canvass ot every county and doubtful township In the state of Illinois. In the first district , where there Is a strong Bound money sentiment , James R. Mann , republican , will bo elected by a plurality of 25,000 over James H. Teller , democrat. Thla shows an 'Increased plurality of nearly 4,000 over 1891. In the Second district , however , there i n very close contestv The republicans won It In 1894 , but the democrats recently have been exceedingly active. The Indications aro. however , that the republicans will again win tills district by about 2,000 plurality. William Lorimer is the re- Ifftbltcan candidate , and John Z. White the democratic. The name conditions of close contest exist In the Third dhtrtct. The democrats won by thtrty-ono votes on the face of the returns in 1894 , but congress seated the republican candidate. This year C. S. narrow , the democratic candidate , has received the Indorsement of .the popu lists. He will probably win by n plurnllty of n few hundreds over his republican antngonlst , Hugh B. Bclknap. Both parties claim the Fourth district , but there seems to bo little doubt that the republican candidate , Daniel W , Mills , will win the election from his democratic oppo nent , James McAndrows , by about 1,000 votes. In the Fifth district the republicans seem comparatively sure of electing their candidate , George E. White , over the ilemo crat , Edward Noonan , who 1ms received the Indorsement of the populists , by some 3,0 0 plurality. The democrats claim the Sixth district for their candidate , Joseph S. Martin , on a predicted Bryan landslide , but Inasmuch as this district gave a plurality of 2,109 In IS'JI , and because the sound money senti ment la very strong , the probabilities are that Edward D. Cooke , republican , will win by 3,000 votes , There can be llttlo doubt lu regard to the Seventh district. This Is ono of the strongest republican districts In the state , and will glvo Gcorgo Edmund Foss a plurality .of 15,000 over Olaf E. Ray , the democrat. Representative A , J. Hopkins , republican. Is H-murcd at a plurality of at least 12,000 In the Eighth district over his democratic opponent , S. N. Hoover. This was nbout the number of votes that Mr. Hopkins won by In 1894 , and ho Is a. strong lu popular support as ho was then. * Representative R. liltt will win by thu greatest majority ho has ever received In the Ninth , and will have practically a walkover In his contest with the democratic and fusion candidate , C. O. KnudBon. HI. plurality was esti mated at 21,000 , The republicans will re turn a representative In the Tenth district , where they have nominated d. W. Prince , by a. plurality of 10,000. His opponents are W. R. Moore , democrat , and W. H. Uolden , populist. The iltmiocrattt claim the Eleventh dis trict , but they jjlvo uo reasons for explaining how they can.lvorromo : th plurnllty which Iho present Vnlrvtontatlvo , Walter Hooves , received In Hutnof 4.8SJ. when the district wan divided littwpcn two republican candi dates. Ilccvna itihould receive a plurnllty of at lenst WMf\ \ over the democratic and populist condljlatp. Charles M. Golden. The , Twelfth .District will return Joseph 0. Cannon , Hm < .republican . candidate , over the populist fu Jjn candidate by a plurality which will nujount to 10,000. The district will bo almrplr contested , but the result can scarcely fall tp ; bn something In the nature of a walkover , ! for Mr. Cannon. The Thir teenth dlstrlc.ViwIU send Representative Ves pasian Warnwi , republican , to the house by n plurality oj.fi o over the democratic and fuslonlst cnmlldftio , 0. II. Palmer. The re publicans wl rape ) win In the Fourteenth district , nlthoug-vthero Is a very sharp con test In the dl trnt. | There Is a probability that Representative J. V. Graff will have his plurnllty of 1804 decreased. He will be elected , however over his fusion opponent * , N. Worthlngtou , by 2,100 votes. Representa tive II. F. Marsh will bo re-elected In the Fifteenth district after a aharp contest with W. H. Nccce , democrat , and Dr. II. J. Parker , populist and prohibitionist. An at tempt was mndo to fuse the democrats nnd populists , but this failed , and Mr. Marsh will probably bo re-elected by 1,600 plurality. The republicans concede the election of W. II. Illnrlchsen , Iho democratic nnd populist - list candidate- the Sixteenth district. Ills republican opponent Is John I. Rlnnkcr. Mr. Hlnrlchscn will probably bo elected by 5,000 plurality. ThereIs n strong fight In the Seventeenth district between James A. Connolly nelly , republican , who Is now representative , and Benjamin F. Caldwell , the fusion candi date. Mr. Connolly was elected In 1S9I by 211 votes. It Is believed that Mr. Caldwcll will overcome this plurality and bo elected by 500 votes. In the Eighteenth district the democratic fusion candidate will In all prob ability bo elected over the republican , W. F. L. Hadloy. by about 1,000 votes. Thomas M. Jett , the fusion candidate , has made n very strong canvass , while Mr. Hndley has been dniiKcrottsly 111 during the entire cam paign. The democrats will probably elect Andrew J. Hunter In the Nineteenth district by a plurality of 500 over llcnson Wood , the present republican representative , and J. J. Sowcll , the poj-ullst. Mr. Hunter will prob ably receive n very considerable vote from the populists. The Twentieth congressional dhtrlct Is very strongly democratic , and J. II. Campbell , the democrat and populist can didate , will receive n plurnllty of some 2,500 votw over Orlando liurrell , the republican candidate. TheTwentyfirst district will give John 'Baker ' , the democratic and fusion candidate , a plurality of 1.000 over 13. J. Murphy , the present republican representa tive. In the Twenty-second district Repre sentative GcorRo W. Smith will bo returned to the houBO by. the republicans by a Plurality of about fi.OOO votes over J. J. Hall , the fusion candidate. Sir.

His republican opponent Is Henry U. Johnson. The Seventh district Is a very close one. both parties claiming it , Jr.sso Ovcrstrcet Is now representative , and ho will probably be elected by a republican plurality of about l.ODO. Charles M. Cqopcr Is the democratic candidate. Republicans arc certain of the Eighth district and will elect Congressman Charles L. Henry by an Increased plurality of 2.000 over the fusion candidate. John R. Brunt. In the Ninth district the Indica tions are In favor of Joseph U. Chcadle , the fuslonlst , winning by 4,000 over C. B. Landls , the republican candidate. The re publicans will carry the Tenth district for KJgar D. Crumpacker by 4,000 votes over Martin T. Krueger , fusionlst. The Eleventh congressional district wan one of these which wna greatly affected by the gerry mander. but , notwithstanding , there. Is llt- tlo doubt that the present republican repre sentative , Ooorgo W. Stcelc. wl'l ' carry It by 1,000 plurality over Joseph Larimer , the fuslonlst , nnd Levy Ratcllff , prohibitionist. There Is a very close contest In the Twelfth district between J. D. Llghty. the present republican congressman , nnd James M. Rob inson , the fuslonlst candidntc. A careful cenvass by counties indicates that Llghty will bo ro-electcd by about 700 plurality. The republicans will win In the Thir teenth district , re-olcctlns Congressman Royso by 3,000 votes over J. II. Kclllson , fuslouist.

The democrats 'iVe "making claims In the Eighth. Ninth arid "Eleventh districts , but without much sliow'-bf ' confidence. The re publicans do not'ndnilt ' there Is any possi ble doubt about tho'so districts , particularly tho' Ninth and Eleventh. The Eleventh was in hard lines early In the campaign and was certainly In doubt , but the best Information obtainable now Is that the republicans who wore Inclined toward sliver eight weeks ago have returned to republicanism and will now support Congressman Perkins for re election. The Ninth district had General Weaver for a popullit candidate two years ago , uud ho was defeated on this very lusuo by 2,690 majority. There U no Indication now that the majority will fall much be low that. The republican disaffection In some of the rural towns will bo offset by the large democratic gains In Council Bluffs and other cities. The Eighth district , Colonel W. P. Hepburn's district , IB a silver district ; that li , the republicans there are more In clined to silver , but Coloucl Hepburn liaa had R leaning thtt way himself nnd has voted for tllvor In congress , no ho U ilrong with the Bllrcr men , nnd hl friend * and campaign manager * are , absolutely confident of his re-election. The opposing candidate , W. H. Robb of Creston , Is not very popular with the democrats , being too old a green- backer , In the Seventh district the sound money democrats In DCS Motnea will make up for many louse * In the country , for at least 80 per cent of them nro for McKlnley and Hull. In the First district Itho contest Is very close. The present congressman , Samuel M. Clark , has been rcnomlnatcd by the re publicans , but It Is not bcltovcd that ho will .poll so" largo a vote this yenr ns ho did In 189 1. The Indications seem to lie that ho will bo elected by nbnut 2,000. Sabcrt M. Casey , the democratic candidate , Is also supported by the populists. Gcorgo M , Curtla will bo re-elected In the Second district by the republicans by n plurality of 2,500. Ho Is very popular and he will re- cclvo the support of n number of sound money dcmocrnts. Alfred Hurst Is the democratic candidate and Charles A. Lloyd the populist. The ropubllc-ns wllr reelect - elect Colonel D. B.

No body knows exactly when Kansas ceased to bo n doubtful state , but she cnnnot bo con sidered so now. It may be predicted with almost mathematical certainty that McKln ley will carry Kansas election day by from 7,000 to 10.000. No other result seems pos sible from Information now In hand. The fact that Kanscs will not go for Bryan Is known cnly to the campaign committees , and the Information Is so recent that some of the political managers have not recov ered from their surprise. It was shown by the latest polls of the etatc. Although neither side will glvo out any Information ofllclally as yet , none , of course , will own to defeat. The figures generally nrc so close that polling will be kept up until the week preceding election. The republican commit tee will make Its figures public the last Sat urday of this month , three days before the election. The silver sentiment has cither been greatly overrated In Kansas , or there- has been a wonderful evolution of political sen timent In the state. The First district will bo carried by Case Broderlck by 4,000 republican votes over K. II. Bnllou. fusion. Mr. J. P.

There scom.3 to bo a certainty that of her cloven repre sentatives seven will be republicans. Tlio sound money democrats In Kentucky Inject an clement of uncertainty Into the whole canvass. It may bo reasonably predicted how they will vote In national affairs , but the congressional contests arouse so mncn personal.feeling that financial questions are not always Influential. The estimates , there fore , are made without reference to tiio sound money democratic vote in the con gressional districts. The First district will send Charles K. Wheeler , democrat , to congress with a plu rality of 1,000. His opponents are Gcorgo P. Thomas , republican , nnd Benjamin C. Keyca , populist. The democratic plurality In 1894 was 3,118. J. D. Clardy , the democratic candidate in the Second district , will secure a majority of 3,000. J. W. Lockctt , the national demo cratic candidate , will not poll any more than 300 votes , while 200 gold democrats will VOID for E. J. Frank , the republican candidate , nnd McKlnley. Clardy claims majority o : 6,600 , but it Is not likely that ho will get more than 3,000. The democratic plurality in 1894 was 2,982. There Is a strong sound money clement In the Third iKstrlct , and W. G. Hunter , tlio republican candidate for congress , will lie elected by a plurality of 1,000 , Ills opponents are John S , Rhco , democrat , and C. W. Mil- liken , national democrat. Tlio republican plurality In 1891 was 1.001. The Fourth district is democratic , but It Is likely , because of a fcctloncl dispute , to glvo John W. Lewis , the republican candi date , the election by 1.000 plurnllty. The only chance of Lewis' defeat Is by a com bination of the democrats. D. H. Smith Is the candidate of the regular democracy , and D. R , Murray of the sllvcrltes , The district In 1894 gave the republicans 1,190 plurality. Representative Walter Evans will be reelected - elected by the republicans In the Fifth , or Loulsvlllo district , by a plurality of 4,000. Ho has three candidates opposing him John Youug Brown , democrat ; C , S. Bate , populist , and John B. Baukln , national demo crat. Evans * plurality In 1891 was 4,130. The fight In the Sixth district will bo an exceedingly close ono. The national demo crats have made no nominations , the Idea existing In the canvass being lo defeat Al bert S. Berry , democrat , by withdrawing the sound money democratic votes from him and giving them to Richard B. Ernst , the ro- publlcnn candidate. Mr , Berry will prob ably , hownvnr , bo re-elected by 2,000 votes. His plurality In 1894 was 2,040. W. C. P. Brecklnrldgo , In the Seventh dls. trlct , has received the nominations of the republicans and sound inonoy democrats and there la llttlo doubt that ho will bo elected by 2,000 plurality. His opponent Is the democratic nominee , Evan ELittle. . Tbo doniocnUlo plurality In 1894 was 101.

The two Louisiana republican factions which have been lighting each other , and which had placed two electoral tickets lu the field and nominated opposing candidates for congress In the First , Second and Third districts , havu come together on a compromise. The regu lar republicans agreed to withdraw their can didates for congress nml Iho national re publicans to withdraw their electoral tlcut't , leaving only one sot of republican candidates In the field. The fusion greatly Increases the chaniics of republican success , especially In congtcsB. The sound money democrats have made no congressional nominations , but will support the republican nominees. The congressional content stands : First District General Adolph Meyer , democrat ; Arm.nd Romnln , sugar planter , republican. Meyer's election probable over Romaln by 3,000. Second District U. C.

The senti ment In favor of sound mo.ney Is very strung all through the state , nnd the prob abilities are In favor of ono , If not more , of the three democratic congressmen who will bo elected voting against free silver In the next house. It Is probable that the re publicans will -Increase their representation In congress from three to four. Democrats will get the First district by 1,600 , and may get the Second by 100. The Third will bo republican by 1,000. In the first district nt the last congres sional election there was a populist candi date In the field , who polled 394 votes. This year the populists have put no candidate In the running , and their vote , together wlh ( part of the prohibition , will bo cast for" thu democratic candidate. Joshua M. Miles , democrat , will bo re-elected by a plurality of 1,500. Dr. Isaac A. Barber , republican , and T. Pliny Fisher , prohibitionist , nro his opponents. Mr. Miles Is not a radical sll- verlte. The eccond congressional district is In Baltimore anil contains a great many advo cates of sound money. They willIn nil probability cast their vote against the demo cratic candidate for congress , George M. Jowott , who Is n silver man , yet Jewctt Is expected to have a sufficient number of votes In the counties to overcome this oppo sition. Jowctt will probably have a plural ity of 1,000. His opponents are William B. Baker , republican , and Chester B , Turn- bull , populist. Mr. Baker , republican , Is the , present representative. Ho waa elected lu 1894 by a plurality of 191 votes. The Third district , also In Baltimore , has been always strongly democratic. In 1894 , however , the majority dwindled away be cause of opposition to thu democratic candi date within the party. Thomas C. Weeks , the present candidate , will bo elected by about 800 votes. Ho Is very Htroug with the labor community , but Is net favored by the business men. Dr. William S. Booze , the re publican candidate , Is not very strongly sup ported by cither Interest. The prohibition ists have nominated Henry L. Hlllglst , Mr. Rusk , the present democratic representa tive , was elected In 1894 by 619 plurality. The Fourth district will go republican , nnd W. W. Mclntlro will bo elected by a plural ity of 2,500. His democratic opponent Is Wllllnm J. Ogdcn. The prohibition party failed to make u nomination In this dis trict , nnd In consequence their vote of 800 will go to the republican candidate. Sidney E. Mudd. republican , will bo elected In the Fifth district by a plurality of nbout 600 over Robert Morno , ilemocrat , and Samuel R. Neavo , prohlblllonlst. The contest in this district will be very close , The repub lican candidate Is not popular and Is no- cusod of having secured his nomination by means of n deal while he was speaker of tlio house of delegates , He Is a Roman Catholic and will be opposed by the A.

Mr. Coffin , the present representative , was elected In 1894 by 2,102 republican plurality. Captain John McDonald , republican , will bo elected In the Sixth district by a plurality of 1,000 ever Blair Leo , democrat , and Sam uel R. Hockman , prohibitionist.

The fight , n Michigan Is clearly drawn on the financial Issue. Party adulations cannot bo rccardrd this year ns having anything to ilu with the results of the pipntion. in almost every ono of the twelve dlstrlctH in thu fight for con gress there has been a fusion of all parties against the republican candidates. The re publicans , too , arc considerably Influenced by the free silver fallacy and are devoting themselves to factional fights In their dis trict , thus tending to weaken the party strength In many directions. This , however - over , should be regarded as applying only to the congressional elections and not to thn national. While there Is no doubt In the public mlud as to the result of the congressional election In the Firct district , yet the matter of the plurality Is not so certain. John B. Corliss , the republican candidate and the present In cumbent , will be re-elected , nnd the chances are that his plurnllty over Edwin Hender son , the democratic candidate , will bo 2,500. Representative Gcorgo Spnldlng will un questionably bo returned from the Second district , but It will bo by n greatly decreased plurality. The republicans will glvo him probably 2,600 more votes than are given Thomas W. Bnrkworth , the democrat , and J , O. Znbol. populist. The democrats will carry the Third district , giving Albert M.
