" . I HOT III H00H0M, Both Parties Claim the State, the Democrats by as Much as 15,000. KO FIGUKES MENTIONED By the Republicans, but They Are tfone the Less Confident. WORKING FOR THE LEGISLATURE. McKinley Makes Two Bousing Speeches in West Virginia. PASSETT WAKES UP THE OIL COUNTEY SPECIAL TELEGBA3I TO THE DISPATCII.1 Indiaxapolis, Oct 17 With the end of the contest in sight both the old parties nre claiming Indiana. The Democrats think they are as sure to be successful as election day is to come. About the com mittee headquarters the majority is placed as high as 15,000. The Republicans are not doing much bragging, but the managers of the campaign say they feel confident the State will give its vote for Harrison and the whole Republican ticket Both State Committees report that there has been considerable of an awakening the last ten days, and at both headquarters the feeling is expressed that from now on the fight will be active enough to be interest ing. It is reported that there was a marked improvement in the crowds that listened to speakers last week, and a noticeable inclination all along the line to take hold of the work of the campaign and make the three remaining weeks of the campaign count The dealers in campaign goods have, it is said, gone off the road, utterly disgusted with politics. During the week the Republicans will make their nominations for joint Senators and joint Representatives and for members of the Legislature in such counties as have not as yet nomiuated, and will have them all certified to the election commissioner by next Monday. I believe. we have a fair chance to elect a majority of the members of the Legisla ture," said a member of the Republican Committee to-day. "The tar law will also cut a considerable figure in the Legislative contests, aid it would not be surprising if several Democrats in Democratic counties are defeated on that issue. It looks to me as though the Republicans have an excellent chince to carry the Legislature, if they work with a will between now and election day." Secretary Reilly, of the Democratic State Committee, laughs at the idea of the Re publicans electing a majority of the Legis lature. "We will have our usual majority," says he. "There is nothing in the claim the Republicans make. 2fone ot our candidates will be defeated by reason of the tax law. There were a few of the members of the last Legislature renominated, and thoe who are candidates again will all be re-elected. You may mark it down that the Democrats are going to sweep things."

He wished to emphasize the fact that Neill asked his landlady's daughter to as certain if the Clover girl had died irom the effects of poison, at a time when no one sus pected that she had been poisoned. Neill had, also, charged Dr. Broadbent with pois oning the girl with strychnine, when no body except the murderer knew that strych nine had been employed to kill her. Sir Charles then gave many details of Neill's visit to America, and his friendship, on his return to London, with Havnes, who acted as a spy on Neill's actions.

She looked at him and noticed that he was cross-eyed and bald. He told her that he was staying at a hotel in Fleet street After the performance was over the wit ness, the prisoner and May leu the music hall together and rode to Ludgate Circus. Neill said he would write to her in a few days when he was settled, and took down her address. He said be was going to leave the hotel and take some rooms. On -the following Friday she received a letter from him. She showed the letter to Elizabeth May. She kept it for some time and then destroyed if" The letter said he would call between 3 and 5 that afternoon, and wonld expect to see the letter when he came, and that she was not to destroy 'it Saw the Man Following His Victim.

She was carrying a basket and was walking toward Lambeth road. She knew the girl by sight, having often seen her pass the house. She saw the girl look back and smile at the prisoner. A photo graph of Matilda Gloverwas here shown to the witness and she identified it as a pict ure of the girl she saw the prisoner follow ing. The witness, said she and Mar went down the street to see what Neill did, and they followed him and the girl. She saw the girl go to 27 Lambeth road. She stood at the door with the handle in her hand and waited for the prisoner, who went up to the door and went in with her. May waited for about half ant hour to Bee if he came out He did not, however, and they went away. She did not again see the prisoner, but her friend May spoke to her abont him. Shortly after she heard of the death of the girl, whose name, she learned, was Matilda Clover. That was about a fort night or three weeks after she saw Neill following her.

An animated dis cussion ensued. Rev. Mr. Davis, of Mis souri, offered a resolution that the pro posed Hymunl be permitted lor use until the next General Convention. While the discussion was at its height, Secretary Tatlock appeared from the House of Bishops with messaze No. 47.
