Majority for Pattisnn 30,300
How He Accounts for It.
The majority of 30,300, which Mr. Mapes
figures out for Fattison in the whole State is
only about 3,000 less than the majority
claimed within the past week by the Dem
ocratic State Chairman.
"On what do you base your claim of 5.000
majority for Pattison in Allegheny county?"
I asked Chairman Mapes.
"On reliable information received from
different sources in and around Pittsburg,"
he replied. "But suppose we don't have
that much in Allegheny county by 5,000,
and suppose Philadelphia would give Dela
mater a larger majority than I have 'allowed,
then we would still have 20,000 or more ma
jority, according to my estimate by all the
counties."
It will be seen by Mr. Mapes" table that
he claims Delamater's own county (Craw
ford) for Pattison by 500 majority. His
majority for Pattison of 2,000 in Clarion
county is based on reports of the phenom
enal Democratic enthusiasm up there.
Republican Hopes Based on Lancaster.
Republicans all along have been expect
ing 10,000 majority for Delamater in Lan
caster county.and have been rejoicing that it
would thus steal the banner from Alle
gheny county as the the greatest Republican
county outside of Philadelphia. Mapes
only concedes them 7,500 in Lancaster, and
in the whole city of Philadelphia he only
estimates 5,000 majority for Delamater,
while Republican estimates have been any
where from 5,000 to 18,000.
I asked Chairman Andrews this afternoon
if he had done any lato figuring on the re
sult of the campaien. He said: "lam not
talking for publication about results, and
of course I cannot, therefore, give yon any
estimate. I have always said that the Re
publican ticket would win with a round
majority, and I see n6 reason to change my
views now. I have a pretty good idea what
that majority will be, and I also have a
pretty good guess as to what some counties
will do, but I prefer to keep them to my
self." Andrews Says Allegheny Is All Right
"How about Allegheny county?" I asked.
BUSINESS Men will find THE DISPATCH
the best advertising Medium. All classes
can be reached through its Classified Adver
tisement Columns. If yon. 'want anything
you can get It by this method.
"Oh, Allegheny is 'all .Tight," laughed
the Chairman. "No, I don't care to give
out any figures now. Leave that until after
the voting is over.'
Colonel Andrews was assisted most of the
afternoon by Captain Delaney and Collector
Tom Cooper in receiving visitors, who came
in from all over the State. A final and
personal canvass of all counties is being
concluded, and in many instances couriers
come to headquarters clear from interior
counties.
For instance, there were there this after
noon Mr. Vensel, of Clearfield county; Mr.
Blackmar, of McKean county, and a gentle
man from Clarion county. Congressional
candidates also flitted in and out of the
room, among them John B. Robinson, of
Delaware, and Mr. Reyburn, of this city.
Senators Grady and Hughes were in at dif
ferent times, and the jolly Senator Handy
Smith spends an hour each day with the
officials of the committee. Oil region mis
sionaries were also interviewed to-day by
Chairman Andrews.
Blaine Expected to Boost Tilings.
The Republican campaign will reach
high water mark to-morrow. To make the
final appeal to Pennsylvanians the most
popular Republican in the nation is being
brought to the greatest Republican citv.
Hon. James O. Blaine fully realizes what is
expected of him on so momentous occasion,
and it is said that his speech here to-morrow
afternoon will be the supreme effort of his
life.
The party managers are depending upon
that speech and meeting for powerful Te-
sults. They predicted that two of Blaine's.
speeches in either end of the State would be
worth 23,000 votes. By simply one speech,
and that here at the close of the struggle,
they look for a grip on' thousands of waver
ing voters.
Only this morning it was definitely set
tled that the Secretary of State would really
be here. Then the rush for tickets to the
meeting commenced. The Academy of
Music, one of the greatest assembly halls in
the country, has been selected for the gather
ing, but so prodigious has been the demand
for tickets that at least 3,000 more than the
hall will hold have been given out np to 9
p. M.
A Secret Circular Captured.
A circular letter purporting to be one of
a few hundred sent out last week by the
Republican btate Chairman found its way
into the headquarters of the State Demo
cratic Committee this afternoon. It had
been originally received by a Republican
in the interior of the State. It read as fol
lows: Headquarters Republican State )
Committee, continental Hotel.
Philadelphia, Pa.. October 24, 18U0. )
My Dear Sib The campaign is drawing to a
close, but we cannot afford to'lolter or hesitate
an bonr. Hard work must be continued until
the polls close on November 4 a little morn
than one week off. We are not safe without a
full vote. Tbis is impossible if oar organiza
tion goes to pieces at a critical -stage of the
campaign liko the present.
Unfortunately our treasury Is empty abso
lutely so. Our plans for getting out a full vote
are Hearing perfection, but are not vet com
plete. We must have financial assistance, and
at once, or three months' preliminary work will
be thrown away. We must have $2,500 now.
Will you be one of a hundred to contribute 25?
If so, please send your check at once to
Yours very truly,

rSPECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, October 31. Hon.
George E. Mapes, Chairman of the Inde
pendent State Committee, to-day issned his
final address to the Republicans of Penn
sylvania as follows:
Fellow Republicans of Pennsylvania:
On the 25th day of September last we issued
an address calling upon all loyal ana broad
minded Republicans to co-operate with us and
rid the Republican party of its corrupt
methods. To that appeal you have responded
beyond our fondest expectations. The politi
cal situation in the State since that time has
undergone a remarkabte change. What atflrst
seemed like an insignificant protest against
the machine candidate has developed Into
a resistless revolution. The people have
become awakened to the great danger of per
mitting such degrading political methods to
continue, and where at first were heard only
the murmuiings of disapproval, we now find
indignant protest and tbe most active and
organized opposition. The sentiment of re
form has been steadily crowing in every part
of tbe State, and from a little clond no larger
than a man's hand tho storm has overspread
tbe entire political horizon, and now threatens
to swoop all beforo it.
Tho conscience and heart of the Republican
party have been awakened, its best men have
come to the front to protest against bosslsm
and boss rale, and thousands have pledged
themselves to work and vote for Robert E. Pat
tison as the most effective method of purifying
the Repnblican party and ridding it of its cor
rupt leadership. They are not fighting for
men, but for principles tbe principles which
form the basis and foundation of honest
and popular Government. The election of
Robert E. Pattison by an overwhelming ma
jority Is at this time an assnred fact The re
volt is widespread, extending over the whole
State, and if an honest election is held Mr.
Delamater is overwhelmingly beaten. Let us
seo to it that an. honest election shall be held.
We call upon you to -be Vigilant In guarding
jour popular rights: to watch, every polling
place, and aid in bringing out every vote and
to bring to prompt justice everyone who at
tempts to commit fraud.
Liberal rewards have been offered for tbe
conviction of those who violate the election
laws, and if the friends of honest government
tbrougbont tbe State will give their personal
attention to tbls Important matter, systematic
f rand and corruption can be prevented. Vic
tory Is cortain, bat our victory should be a
crushing one, a victory that will leave no doubt
of the intention of the people to free the Re
publican party and the State from tha in
cumbus of corruption. .Let every honest
voter come to the polls and cast his voto
for honest government. Let him see that his
neigbbor does likewise, and above all let him
see to it that none are allowed to vote who are
not entitled to do so. Still farther, let him aid
In the prevention ot fraud and corruption
among the voters, and if this is done a mighty
victory for honest government will surely re
sult, and the Republicans of Pennsylvania will
have caaso to be proud of their party once
more because it will be a purified party, tbe
rank and file of which will be in the future to
nominate for the highest offices In tbe gift of
the people men whose achievements and records
will be. from the day of their nomination, a
guarantee of victory.
CLAIMING CONGRESS.
VIGOROUS ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE.
Tho Voters of the Party Urged to Rally In
Behalf of Protection The Important
Thing is to Vote for Candidates for
National Representatives.
Washington, October 31. James J.
Belden, of the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee, has Issued an address,
in wbich'Tie says:
'The Republican Congressional Committee
deslreVto say a word or two to tbe people, and
more especially to those who believe generally
In Repnblican principles, concerning tbe elec
tions for members of the Fifty-second Con
gress, which will occur next Tuesday. This
has been an extraordinary campaign. Our op
ponents calculated to extract by theft and
sharp practice 45 Democratic Representatives.
Their scheme rendered voting superfluous and
the popular "will impotent. These were tbe
chief features of their campaign. Supple
mentary to them, however, was another not
less infamous. It was a grand conspiracy to
raise the values of all the necessaries
of life and to charge that inflation to
tho new Republican tariff bill. In order
to enjoy the spoils of office tbey undertook to
create a condition of the market whereby the
people would be shamelessly swindled out of
hundreds of thousands of dollars. This con
spiracy has ailed, and its failure has doomed
the Democratic party to defeat in next Tues
day's elections. The manufacturers and mer
chants ot America were too wise and too hon
est for the sake of temporary gains to allow
themselves to serve as the tool of the Demo
catlo party in Inflicting upon the people such
a colossal outrage. It is the reaction against
this conspiracy that has" confirmed to the Re
publican party Its title to public confidence.
The people have found that tbe Democracy,
through its various agents on tbe stump and in
the public press, was lying to them abont the
new tariff bill, its provisions and its effects,
and they have been studying the bill for them
selves. Tbey have found tbat the principles
wbicb governed its construction are those and
only those to which the country is Indebted for
the unparalelled prosperity it has been enjoy
ing since the war. They have found that tbe
new law simply extends these principles to in
dustries to which they have not heretofore
applied. Withdrawing from the dutiable list
practically everything that we cannot produce
v 1th our own resources. The people have dis
covered that tbe new law is not going to cause
a rise of prices or any business disturbances,
and they perceive tbat it Is going to create
larger, and better markets for our own farmers.
To build up many new industries, to give em
ployment to thousands of workmen now idle or
insufficiently occupied, and to maintain tbe
present bigb rate of America wages.
We urge the people to consider carefully the
significance of a vote next Tuesday in favor of
a Democratic candidate for Congress. No Re
publican can afford, as he values his principles,
as he Lopes for the welfare of his country, to
neglect the duty of voting. If that duty is
properly performed the boasted Democratic
majority will dwindle into a feeble and incom
petent minority. The Republicans can have
tfie next House if tbey will take It. They have
only to go to the polls and vote. The penalty
of .carolcssness-aodiJidinTeiuuce-tfili.be u iitav
'one. The reward of vigilance and action will
be a prosperity surpassing even tbat which has
long been and is still tbe wonder, the admira
tion and tbe envy ot the civilized world.

Canadian Pacific Railway that would suffer.

that unless the Liberal Unionists pre

W. W. Boynton represented the plaintiff,
and Judge S. N. Owen the defendant. This
case involves the validity of the act assess
ing a penalty on back taxes not properly
listed, and had its origin in alleged omitted
personal taxes of Senator-elect Brice.
Mr. Morgantbaler, as tax Inquisitor,
claims to have found a large amount of per
sonal property belonging to Mr. Brice
omitted from the duplicate of Allen county,
and the Auditor declining to place same on
duplicate and collect back taxes, mandamus
proceedings were instituted to compel him
to perform this duty. This raised a question
as to the constitutionality of the law, the
Circuit Court deciding in favor of the
Auditor. The principal objection urged
against tbe law is the compensation of 2 per

tSrzclAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
Topeka, October 31. Never in the his
tory of Kansas have the people been so
thoroughly aroused on the temperance
question as now. The recent decisiou of tbe
United States District Court declaring the
present prohibitory law null and void, has
created an indignation among the temper
ance people which is confiued only by the
borders of the State.
It came in the midst of a spir
ited campaign and has materially
changed the situation. Before the decision
was published original package houses had
opened in this city, but they were stocked
with the goods which had been stored when
the Wilson bill became a law. Immediately
these houses were opened in all tbe princi
pal toivns and cities ot the State, and to-day
tbey can be counted by the hundreds.
mob violence peaeed.
In several places the indignation was so
Intense that package dealers refused to enter
into the business for fear of violence. The
greater portion of the goods shipped into
,u.auaua vttuie jrum jxuusus vuy, iuo. xt cur
ly every large liquor dealer of that city has
agents traveling over tbe State establishing
houses. They require thelocal agent to fur
nish a bond of 2,000 before he receives his
goods, and at no time is his indebtedness al
lowed to exceed that amount
When this decision was rendered many
appeals were made to Governor Humphrey
to call tbe Legislature together and re-enact
tbe prohibitory law. Prominent Republi
cans and Prohibitionists, however, declared
this would be bad policy, because it would
remove one-half the incentive to rally at the
polls on tbe 4th of November and elect a
new Legislature which would re-enact the
present laiv. Tbis would also aid Senator
Ingalls, who expects a re-election at the
hands of the next Legislature.
The Republican party was glad to make
the issue of prohibition, and at once ac
cepted the original package decision as the
most prominent issue of tbis campaign. Tbe
Republican State Central Committee issued
an appeal to the people of Kansas, in which
it said:
a political issue.
The Democratic theory is that whisky, like
Blavery, Is protected by the Constitution of the
United States. They claim tbat tho Wilson
bill is unconstitutional. Tbey claim tbat tbe
statutes of tbe State, prohibiting the manu
facture, sale and nse of intoxicating liquor?, is
withont life and vigor, because not re-enacted
since the passage of tbe Wilson bill. A Demo
cratic conrt has jnst decided the latter proposi
tion In their favor. Whisky, like slavery, finds
its last refngo in a Democratic interpretation
of the Constitution of our fathers. The recent
exposition of the law by tbe Federal Judges
narrons the lssnes In this campaign down to a
struggle between Prohibition and free whisky.
Tlie voters in the State who have been im
pressed with tbe idea tbat a revenue should be
derived from the unholy traffic in liquor, find
that even this poor consolation is denied them
by the Fedoral Judiciary.'
Tbe sweeping terms of the opinion allow the
original package saloon to rnn with open door5

without license, witboutreveuue. without focal
interference and withont judicial control. The
same court has forbidden tbe Sheriff and Comi
ty Attorney of Shawnee county to make any in
vestigation as to whether or not the original
package saloons are conducting their nefarious
business in accordance with tbe judicial opin
ions that create them. Tbe good people of this
State have their bauds tied by these Infamous
decisions, and tbe rum sellers fondly Imagine
that they can so manage, control and debauch
tbe voters of tbis State on the day of tbe elec
tion as to prevent the election of members of
our next Legislature who will re-enact our
present prohibitory statutes. They will now
change tbeir tactics. You will hear bat little
more about resubmission. Their scheme will
now be to elect a House that will prerentall
legislation to meet the demands of the Federal
edict They do not now want resubmission.
The Federal judges have given them a "better
thing." They will now seek to continue "free
whisky" for all time to come. They will not
meet the issue boldly. Tbey will deny that
tbey are for free whisky. They will conduct a
"bushwhacking" campaign m every Repre
sentative district They will resort to every
expedient to deceive voters as to the true
issue.
A REPUBLICAN APPEAL.
The vital Issue of this campaign is now made
so clear by tbe declarations made at the Demo
cratic and Resubmission Conventions, and em
phasized by a judicial opinion, tbat none but
the most stupid can fail to recognize its sig
nificance, or determine its meaning. It means
rum holes withont legal restraint, against
wholesome laws controlling and prohibiting
the manufacture, use and sale of intoxicating
liqnors. It is the issue of home and temper
ance, against whisky, lawlessness and crime.
The gallant Republicans of Kansas must figbt
tbis battle alone. It Is the only party organi
zation in tho Stato that can be relied
on to protect the home of the citizen against
the vile Influences of tbe rumsellers. No
material aid can be expected from the People's
party. The State Alliance was in session at
Topeka when the Federal judges rendered a
dectsion In favor of free whisky, and five times
tbey suppressed a resolution denouncing tbat
infamous decision. The Republican party of
tbe State, true to its convictions, and in ac
cordance with tho law of its origin, naturally
assumes the guardianship of the dearest and
best interests ot the people of this State.
Ttie Republican party is for prohibition and
against whisky In any form or disguise. We
had rattier be right on this great question than
win a victory. If success comes to our banners,
it must come hand-in-hand with the most vig
orous beneficial prohibitory legislation. The
election or Republican State officers and a Re
publican Legislature means prohibition, pure
and simple. The election of tbe Demo-Resub-mission
ticket means free whisky.
Following this the clergy of Topeka, in
their regular weekly ministerial union
meeting, prepared an address to the clergy
of Kansas, urging united action in the
pending contest They say:
THE CLERICAL ADDRESS.
A grave danger confronts tbe State of
Kansas. Tho "original package" honses are
again open nnder the decision of the United
States Circuit Court Worse still, if that de
cision is final, tbe laws of Kansas under which
the liquor saloon is made a nuisance and an
outlaw, are nnll and void so far as regards the
sale of intoxicants in tbe original package. It
is Impossible to obtain relief under the con
stitution and laws, except in two di
rectionsappeal may be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States, appeal
may be made to tbe people of the Common
wealth. Immediate steos should be taken In
both directions. We believe that tbe people of
tbe State favor tbe prohibition of saloons by
overwhelming majorities. There can bo-no
doubt of the outcome of tho election now at
hand if tbis supreme issue is kept steadily in
view. It will not do to ignore it A grievous
mistake will be made if a blind partisanship is
allowed to keep out ot sight the supreme im
portance of this burning question.
The duty of the boar is plain. A great moral
issue, overshadowing all merely political ends,
is boldly tbrown into the arena. Christian
men should accept the challenge thus boldly
thrown down. Every pulpit in the State should
bo ablaze on this Issue until the 4th of Novem
ber. It is not a political question to bo dis
cussed, but high, moral principles. Effort
steady, energetic anil persistent should be
made to unite all opponents of the
saloon. Our laws prohibiting tbe traffic
in Intoxicating liquors mast be re-enacted.
A Legislature and Governor, therefore, of
known sympathy with tbis movement must be
elected. Witblr, tbe two or three months be
tween tbls date and tbe rdeeting of the Legis
lature, the "original package" nouses, wit a no
possible legal restraint, will become intrenched
in tbe State. We must, therefore, elect prose

Judge Caldwell Pronounces the Act of Con
gress and Stato Prohibitory Laws Valid
Tills Settles the Question Until the Su
preme Court Passes Upon It -
Little Rock, October 31. The opinion
of Judge Caldwell, of tbe United States
Circnit Court, in the original package case
of H. M. Vanvliet, of Iowa, was filed to
day. The Conrt holds that the act of Con
gress and the law:, of tbe State are valid.
The following are some of the saliant points
in the opinion:
"It will be observed that by the terms of
the act of Congress the original package,
upon arrival in tbe State, is pnt on tbe same
footing with liquors produced in the State.
Now, there never was any question thatthe
laws of Iowa prohibited the sale of liquor
produced in the State, and that the laws for
tbis purpose were constitutional. These
laws were in full force at the date
of the passing of the act of
Congress, and that act having in legal
effect abolished original packages on their
arrival within tbe State by placing them on
the same footing with liquor produced with
in the State, they are as much amenable to
the State law as if they had never existed in
the form of original packages. Congress
regulates inter-State commerce, but not
intra-State commerce. It may regulate com
merce among tbe States, but not in tne
States. The State may regulate pnrely intra-State,
bnt not inter-State, commerce.
"Tbe act protects the inter-State transpor
tation of liquor nntil its arrival in the State
where tbe transit is to end and no longer.
Upon its arrival in the State, the act of Con
gress declares that it shall be subject to
the laws of the State. It is said the
Snpreme Court declared these laws to
be, unconstitutional in to far as they
prohibited the sale of liqnors in original
packages, and tbat Congress could not 'viv
ify a dead statute.' There are two answers
to this contention. The first is the act of
Congress relegates the original package of
liquor on its arrival in the State to the laws
of the State, passed in the exerciseof its police
powers, and there is not now, nor ever has
been, any doubt of the validity of those
laws. It is not the laws of the State, but
the original package that is dead."

Ceason for Alarm.
SWAJIPT GE0TJXD CAUSES THE SICESESS
The residents of the bustling little bor
ough .of Wilkinsburg are in a state of ex
citement caused by a reported epidemic of
diphtheria among school children.
The attendance in one of tbe schools
dropped from over 100 to 22 pupils yester
day, as tbe parents of the majority of tbe
children thought it advisable to keep them
at home rather than have them run any risk
of contracting the disease in the school
room. So far there have been three deaths
of children, and tbe physicians of the place
have all the cases they can attend to.
A meeting of the school board of the
borough was held Thursday night, at which
tbe matter was discussed. Drs. Rigg and
Stautler are members of the board, and said
that while there was considerable sickness
in the borough, there was no cause for
alarm. One of the members wanted to close
the Third ward school until the excitement
abates, but this, it was decided, would be a
bad move.
causes op the dread disease.
Ever since the fire that destroyed the
large school building tbe pupils have been
honsed wherever it was possible to put
them. In the Third ward, or Park place,
as it is called, and which is partly inside
the city limits, room was found for 100
children in the Presbyterian chapel. The
latter stands on marshy ground, and the
place is considered unhealthy on account of
the rains of the past two months. Abont a
week ago it was noticed that more than the
usual number of children were sick, and
after three deaths ocenrred parents grew
alarmed. Toe attendance at the school is
over 100, and yesterday, as stated, it had
dwindled down to only 22.
Prof. Anderson and the members of the
board endeavored to stem the tide, bnt
found it was impossible. Tbey tried to quiet
the fears of the parents, and succeeded nntil
Thursday, when the .third funeral cortege
slowly wended its way to the cemetery.
A representative of The Dispatch vis
ited Wilkinsburg yesterday, and among the
first persons enconntered in the mud wag
Prof. Anderson, borough principal. Hj
said: "I tbink the parents of children are
needlessly aiarrded, and believe the scare is
over. Since the school was burned we had
to put the children in anywhere, and among
the temporary places of shelter was the
Presbyterian chapel in Park place. Some
people say tbe ground there is bad and
caused the sickness.
CONSIDERABLE quinsy about.
"There is considerable quinsy and sore
throat among the school children, bnt I do
not believe many of them have diphtheria.
The attendance in this school dwindled
down to 22 pupils to-day, bnt by Monday I
think they will all be back."
Dr. Stevens was called upon, and when
asked" how many cases of diphtheria he
knew of in tbe borough, said: "I do not
tbink there are over 10 or 11 cases alto
gether of straight diphtheria. We had ona -death
in the borough that caused consider
able talk and is responsible for the excite
ment. The child had membrous cronp, and
after life was extinct the face and neck got
black. Many people thought it was black
diphtheria, and would not allow their
children to go to school. There Is consider
able sickness all ihe way from East Liberty
to Swissvale, bat so far we have had bnt
three deaths."
Mr. A. Lauman, druggist, and member of
the School Board, said: ''The scare in the
Third ward school was due to two causes.
An announcement was made that there
would be no Snndav school there for two
.weeks, and many parents got it into their
heads- there would he no day scnool, and
kept their children away. The diphtheria
scare also had something to do with it, and
while I knew of two cases, it is not yet epi
demic by any means. We held a meetiag
of the board last night, and Drs. Rigg and
Stautler assnred ns there was no danger.
On tbis account ne.did not think it advisable
to close the school."
t , enough to sickex antbodv.
Dr. F. L. Pershing said: "I have quite a
number of cases of colds, sore throats,
croup, etc., bit do not see any reasons for a
scare over a few diphtherias. This kind of
weather is enough to sicken anybody, bnt
there is no epidemic"
The Catholic parochial school of the
borough was dismissed at noon yesterday,
and tbis increased the excitement It was
supposed by the inhabitants that diphtheria
had broken out there, bnt this was found to
be incorrect Rev. Father Lambing saidt
"The reason we dismissed school so early to- v
day was on account oi Halloween.
thought it wonld be appropriate to give the
children a half holiday, and did so."
A rumor was also circulated in Wilkins
burg that the Swissvale school had been
closed on account of the excitement among;
parents This was also found to be untrue,
although there are several cases of
diphtheria at that place.
