Republicans Expect to Carry at Least Two
Hundred Districts.
WILSON'S DEFEATIS CERTAIN
The Democrats, While Conceding
Their Opponents Large Gains,
Claim That They Will Control the
House by a Small Majority Rival
Estimates from Various States Re
publicans Expect to Have a Majority
of Twenty-One in the House.
"Washington, Sept, 20.
THE managers of the Republican
congressional campaign commit
tee cottnt on securing 200 mem
bers of the next house. Tbe
Democrats, more eonsprvative.estiraate
their membership to 190. The Repub
licans assert that so far from
the Democrats securing so large
a membership tb y will not
elect more than 140 members
to tbe next house. Tbe Democrats, on
tbe other hand, concede the Red a Mi -cans
by 156 members. The house of
representatives consists of 356 mem
bers, of which 179 is a quorum. If the
Republicans carry 200 districts, tbey
will bare a working majority of 21,
wbile tbe Demoerats will, if sueoesaful
according to their calculations, control
tbe bonse by a majority of 11.
Neither the Democrats nor the Re
publicans believe that tbe Populists
will cut much of a figure in tbe pend
ing campaign. The Republ loan mana
gers, for instance, do not believe that
a single Populist will be elected north
of Mason and Dixon's Hue, and tbe
Democrats account for only a total of
ten la tbe entire United States. OJdly
enough, there is absolutely no differ
ence of opinion between tbe Republi
can and Democratio experts so far as
tbe great majority of tbe con-
fressional districts are concerned,
a nearly all tbe (Southern states solid
Democratio delegations are conoeded
to tbe Democrats. Texas is regarded
by tbe Republicans as debatable
ground, their information being that
tbe Populists in that state will make
serions Inroads into the Democrats. In
Missouri, also, the Republicans expect,
with the aid of tbe Popalists, to unseat
at least four Democrats, in addition to
carrying tbe tbree city districts of St.
Louis and tbree others in tbe country.
Tbe Democrats concede to tbe Re
publicans tbe' entire delegation from
Iowa, with the exception' of Mr.
Hayes' distriot, and some forty more
congressmen in Maine, Oregon, Mon
tana, Idaho, New Hampshire, North
and South Dakota, Washington, Ver
mont and Pennsylvania. The Demo
crats do not Anticipate electing a con
gressman in Kansas, but their esti
mates provide for tbe election of four
Populists, wbile tbe Republicans olaim
tbe entire state.
Tbe defeat of Mr. Wilson, of West
Virginia, tbe anthor of the tariff bill,
is predicted bv the Republicans by a
majority of 1,200. The Republicans
have some expectation also of carrying
two other districts in the Estate. Iu
Wltoonsin the Republican estimate is

tle of tbe romantio in the charaoter of

Miss Walton's parents objected to
Mr. Thomas' attentions, bat he was
persistent and finally prevailed upon
ber to accompany him to New York
state, where they were married early
in the week. Miss Walton's parents
knew nothing of the marriage nntil
the couple returned. They ere now
disposed to take things philosophically,
however, aftd all will be well.

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 28.
pESPITE his annonnosment that
I he was not a candidate, the
I Democratic convention today
zdJ cast every vote for Senator Hill
for governor and then nominated Lock

Jndge Guvnor for tbe court of appeals,
and at 3 40 adjourned.
Tbe convention was oalled to order
by Senetor Hill at 1.41 p. m. Colonel
DAVID 11. HILL.
Brown, chairman of the committee on
permanent organization, reported iu
favor or continuing tne temporary or
ganization. This was adopted, and
Senator Hill remniued chairman of tbe
convention. Lieutenant Governor
Sbeehan.of Erie, reported the platform.
Galen R. Hitt, of Albany, placed in
nomination the name of John Boyd
Thatcher.
When .Mr. Hita bad finished.' Elavil
Reynolds, of Alleghany, arose and
said: "The united delegation of Alle
gheny county desirts to place in nomi
nation on fietr nrst ana oniy cnoice,'
David B. Hill." '
ENTHUSIASM UNBRIDLED.
That was all he had time to say. The
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
Men stood on their sails aud waved
their hats for tbree minutes. Senator
Hill pounded with bis gavel in vain,
Finally Colonel Fellows, of New York,
arose and the crowd subsided.
Senator Hill then asked tbe in
dulgence of Colonel Fellows, and said:
I am grateful to tbe Democrats
of tbe Empire state for the courtesy
and kindness of tbe past, but I must
say to you I cannot agree to be your
candidate again for governor," Col

amid cbeera.
Senator Guy rose when New York

said: "Mr. Chairman,! rUe to perform

Democrat. He is the only man with
whom we are beforehand sure of win
ning. I present the name of the ohlef
exponent of Democrat is prinoinlei in
our party, David B. Hill." Cheers
and wild enthusiasm.
After Senator ,, liny bad finished
Burke Coekran, of New York, arose
and, climbing over tbe reporters' table
to tbe platform, said in part: "When
tbe life of a nation is at stake and tbe
laws which govern its existence fail to
control its destinies, the supreme will
of the people is the only resort. At
such times the report of tbe revolution
is invoked. For the first time sines tbe
senior senator directed the affairs of
the Democratio party of this state, I
am in revolt against his ruling. I urge
upon him his sense of duty to bis party
and place bis name in nomination
against bis own desires. I demand
tbat he lead ns, and I now name . him
for governor." Prolouged cheers
Mr. Coekran then put tbe question
to the convention, "Will you make
tbe nomination unanimous?"
Everyone in tbe ball, delegates, spec
tators and all. yelled "aye."
Senator Hill refused to talk on his
nomination for governor. All the
Democratio leaders, however, say be
will accept it. '
THE PLATFOUU,
The following is tbe platform
adopted:
The Democratic party of New York con
gratulates the people of the state upon the
restoration of ousiness confidence and tho
Improvement of industrial conditions
which are following the repeal by a Demo'
emtio congress ot the pauio bringing laws
of its Benublicantpredecessors.
Unsound financial legislation, driving
out onr gold and threating a single silver
standard, a worse than war tariff, nnnec-
essanly adding to tbe cost oi living,
diminishing federal revenues, and over
stimulating favored industries at tbe gen
eral expense, profligate expenditures.
converting an assured treasury surplus
into an alarming aeucic. ruese were tne
ill-conceived and ill-fated products of Re
publican partisanship which brought the
country to tbe verge ot financial and n-
dustrial rnln, which wiped out private
rortunes, reduced Incomes, turned teas ot
thousands of men out or work, closed fac
tories, destroyed business, .brought thou
sands of deserving poor face to face with
starvation, aud infiloted general distress
upon tbe American people.
We therefore rejoice that by the repeal
or tne Sherman law all tear or a depreci
ated currency have been allayed, that bv
the repeal of tbsMoKinlsy tariff law tbe
NOMINATED
tariff schedules have been adjusted so tbat
while sttimling ample safeguards for
American labor they reduce tbe price to
tbe people of necessities of life and encour
age tbe promotion of industry by cheapen
ing the cost of many raw materials used
in manufactures.
AGREE WITH PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
The beneficial effects of the adoptions of
these salutary measures of public policy
are already plainly apparent. Each day
gives evidence or returning prosperity.
We concur with President Cleveland that
tbe new tariff law does not embody the
full measure ot tariff reform, but with
him also we endorse its provisions for
cheaper and tree raw materials, and lower
taxes, as a substantial recognition oi
Democratic principles, and while favoring,
therefore, such wise modifications end
re-adjuitmeut of particular schedules by
tbe enactment of separate bills, as future
conditions and the fulfillment ot Demo
cratic pledges may require, we deprecate,
pending a fair trial of the law by aotual
operation, and further general tariff re
vision, which under present conditions
would be likely to retard improvement in
business, and thereby prolong ths evils
brought upon the conntry by Republican
folly.
We reaffirm tbe declaration of princi
pies contained in the Democratio National
platform of 1892, and we reiterate tbe ex
pressions of recent state Democratio plat
forms in favor of honest money, economy
in public expenses, just and liberal pro
visions for all disabled union soldiers.
tbeir widows and dependents, and strict
adherence to the true principles or civil
service reform.
We commend the efforts made by sena
tors and representative in cougross from
this Htate to avert the imposition of tbe
present income tax we record our regret
that the reform ot the tariff to which all
Democrats were committee was embar
rassed by engrafting on its previsions a di
rect tax to which many Democrats were
Btrenuously opposed.
We recognize iu tbe trusts and combi
nations which are designed to enable oapi
tal to secure moro than its just share of
the joint product ot capital anil labor a
natural consequence of the prohibitive
taxe?, which prevent the free competition
which is the lire ot honest trade, but be
lieve their worst evils can be abated by
law, and demand the rigid enforcement of
the laws made to prevent and control
theiu.
We heartily endorse the bonsst purpose
ana mgn uteais wmcn nave characterized
the administration of President Cleveland.
and we renew to him the pledge of our
earnest support and in all bis efforts to
secure the enactment of Democratic meas
ures and tbe carrying out of Democratio
pouches.
DES1EE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
uooal state issnes were coveted at
length and then the platform goes on
to say:
We denounce as contrary to the spirit of
our institutions any display or religious
intolerance in political discussions. We
deplore any attempt to proscribe candi
dates 'for office on the gronnd of religious
Deuel Dy secret organizations or other
wise. Tbe Democratic party, which has
always stood for political and religious
freedom, does not hesitate to condemn all
efforts to create a distinction among citi
zens oecause or airxerences in raitn as un
worthy ot an enlightened age and abhor,
ent to the interest of American free men.
vVe unree'ervedly indorse the Doiralar.

Governor Flower, and we record our ex
pression of regret at his refusal to accept a
re-nomination. His close attention to pub

well earned praise of the people and of his

Washington. D. C. Sept. 20.
PEOPLE wbo live along tbe Atlan
tic coast from Geoigia to Massa
chusetts will tomorrow have a
taster ot a pretty lively gale,
while tbe men who go out to sea in
ships in defianoe warning that is now
two days old, will do so at the peril of
their lives. The hurricane that was
born somewhere . in the tropieul seas,
was centered near Jacksonville this
morning where the maxium velocity of
the wind was reported by the weather
bureau to be forty-six miles an hour,
The disturbance has been slowly work
ing up tbe coast of Florida and tbe
indications now are that it will reourve
from the coast near St. Augustine and
put seaward with an increased forwsrd
movsmeutin a north by north-easterly
direotion.
Tbe storm travels something after
tbe fashion of a billiard ball that has
been driven with much "English
against tbe cushion. The moment it
comes in contact with an obstruction
its speed is accelerated. So this storm,
meeting the land, has recurved, and its
northward movement win no roucn
more rapid, so rapid tbat Now York
will feel It by tomorrow night.
Immediately after tbe morning re
ports were received at tbe weather
bureau today, a message was sent to
Gray Gables notifying the president of
the conditions and advising bim not to
take a sail until after tbe storm had
passsd.
Tne center ot this storm, according
to the latest calculation will be out at
sea, but the coast oities, like Washing
ton, Baltimore and New York, will
feel much of tbe wind, although it is
not expected to reach the velooity of
tbe storm of last August when a record
of fifty-eight miles was reached. Un
less all tbe indications fall, the wind
will not attain ths dignity of a burri
oape except at sea along tbe coast.

was tilled with passengers and all of
them were excited, but the car was
stopped before any other damage had
been done.
SOOD RACING EXPECTED.
Track Is in Fine Condition for Today's
Events. ,
Judging from the variety and quail
ty of the card prepared for today's races
of tbe Gentlemen s Driving club.tbe at
tendance should be large and the sport
exciting. The track is lull ot spring
and very fast and unless it rains the
mud horses will have no advantage.
Twenty-two entries have already
been made and but few will be soratoh
ed. There will bs enough added star
ters today to make eaeb field fall and
make tbe results a mattsr of doubt.
Two new performers will be seen in
Harry Simpson's Corney, bl. g., and J
ti. Sutherland s liarney. They are en
tered in tbe fifty class.
Based upon past performances and
quality these selections are made by

2.60 class Barney 8, John Ilonon, T,

2 40 class John or Johnny, Thlef.Fanny

Tbe 2:40 race is the most uncertain

CONVENTION OPENS.
Work That Is Being Done at the An
nual Convention of the Young
Men's Institute,
Seecial to the Scranton THbunt.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 20. The con
vention of tbe Young Mon's Institute
of tbe Atlantio jurisdiction convened
here yesterday. Prior to the conven
tion a pontifical high mass was cele
brated at tbe cathedral by the Rt. Rev,
Bishop McClosey, assisted by Fathers
Bonchet, Sobuhmann, Ruffo and West
ermann. Bishop McCloskey made a very brief
address, exhorting the young men to
be good Christiana and citizens. From
the cburch tbe delegates marched in
procession to Music hall, where, at 11
o'clock, a brief session was held. The
afternoon session was called to order
by President Maher shortly of tor 3
o'clock, and continued until 6 o'clock.
A committee on credentials were ap
pointed, consisting of Thomas Healey,
of Newport ; P. H. Kelly, of Altoona;
T. A. Roster, of Louisville.
Bishop McCloskey was present and
wag called upon to tnuke an address.
His remarks were very brief. He said
he was pleased to be present, and that
lie welcomed the visitors to Kentucky.
He stated tbat the Young Men's Insti
tute was a hue organization and that
he was proud ot it. The evening was
given up to a dance and reception at
Music ball.
Tbe election of officers will take
place tomorrow morning. Already
there are three candidates in tbe field
for the presidency: George E, Coll, a
young attorney of Jefiarsonville; John
B. Egart, president of Satolli council,
of Louisville, and Joseph P. Eealy, of
Cincinnati.
Tbe stir caused by the parade on
Sunday seems to have been smoothed
over. The fact tbat the bishop offici
ated at the mass yesterday and was
present at the convention in the after
noon is looked upon as evidence tbat
he is not offended. This is more than
can be ssld of ;some of the visitors who
bad prepared for (the parade, however.
The ICinolnnatl eonncils are said to
have spent $900 for mnsio for the
maroh, and the local members will
have to pay out heavy bills to bands
engaged but not needed.

The Wrackaze of ths Laokawan&a Ave
nue Fire Being Sieved.
At the dumping around at Johnson's
lake along North WHshintiton avenue,
where the debris from theLaekawanna
avenue fire is unloaded, a motley
crowd of perhaps a few hundred per

lose tor articles or value.
Occasionally one of tuem finds some
thing that has escaped the fury ot tbe
fire fiend and the subsequent vigilanoe
of those engaged to assort anything val
uable before loading ttie wagons. Then
a gleam ot satisfaction settles on the
countenance of the luoky one and a
corresponding betokening ou the vis
ages of the other more hapless com
panions. Giddy Blns-hamtan Olrli.
