by Counties on Governor nt the
Election Today Gains for Penny

1899 As to Congressmen, the He
publicans Will Hold Their Own in
All Districts, and Will Probably
Gain in Some But One District
Conceded to the Democracy.
V Inclusive Wire from The Associated Pre.s.
Philadelphia, Nov. 3. Senator Quay,
mairmnn of the Republican state eom
nittee, has prepared a statement Riving
his estimates of the vote by counties on
governor at tomorrow's election. The
statement was Riven to the press to
night at Republican state headquarters
here by Mr. W. F. "Wright, the sen
ator's private secretary. Mr. Wright
siiid the figures are conservative and
were obtained from reports of county
chairmen. In a number of Instances,
he said, the estimates of the county
chairmen were reduced considerably by
the senator.
The statement is as follows:
In thirty-seven counties, outside of
Allegheny and Philadelphia, the esti
mates received from the respective
county chairmen show a net gain of 21,
938 votes for Pennypacker over the total
vote cast therein for Burnett for state
treasurer In 189ft.
In tho remaining twenty-eight coun
ties, outside of Allegheny and Phila
delphia, the estimates show a net loss
of 12,834 votes compared with the num
ber received by Burnett, making a total
net gain for Pennypacker, outside of
thu counties of Allegneny and Pilln-.
delphla, ot 9,101 votes. ' "
Barnett's majority In the state was
110,488, of which Philadelphia contribut
ed 69.6G4 and Allegheny lti,4!i;s. The
other sixty-live counties gave Harnett
a, majority of 21,331. Add to this the
total net gain just mentioned, 9,104, as
estimated for Judge Pennypacker and
our ticket will come to the counties of
Philadelphia and Allegheny with a ma
jority of 33,433. These are of conserva
tive estimates and the total Republi
can majority outside of the counties
named niny largely exceed the figures
given.
Add to this estimate that of 2.",0i10
majority reported from Allegheny and
10.1.000 in Philadelphia and you will see
that the total majority in the state
for Judge Pennypacker is likely to be
n the neighborhood of 1G.i,0QQ votes.
As to the congressmen, we will hold
jur own and are likely to gain several
districts. Hut one district, that the
.lerlts-Lehish Is conceded to llie Dem
icracy. Estimate Made by Counties.

THE ELECTION OF
0DELL ASSURED
Hopes of tho Republicans Ban High
in New York On the Eve
of the Battle.
By Exclusive Wire from The Assoclited rresi.
New York, Nov. 3. Republican hopes
ran high on this the last day before
the election. To begin with a multi
tude of final reports from the up-stato
territory not only sustained tho claim
of the lenders for an Odoll majority
of 112,000 above the Harlem river, but
far overshot the mark that conserva
tive Colonel Dunn has set for the ter
ritory which he knows so well. Below,
the Harlem river, it was promised to
day, a surprising strength for the local
Republicans will be shown. Without
exception the leaders In New York
county, Kings, Queens and Richmond
predicted on tho final district reports
an almost unprecedented Republican
showing In this city and its vicinity.
From private estimates which the
Republican county leaders based today
on a series of careful canvass figures
it seems certain that New York county
will not give Coler the 72,000 majority
that "Sport" Murphy has predicted by
20,000 or more. While Robert C. Morris,
president of the New York Republican
county committee, did not feel at liberty
to make public his private estimate,
it can be said that the results which
he reached by a confidential poll of all
the assembly districts In Manhattan
and the Bronx cuts down the boasted
Tammany majority for Coler by more
than 30,000. A similar estimate last
year fell short of the final result by less
than 200 votes.
It Is sufficient, without mentioning
the canvass figures of the local Re
publican managers, to say that below
the Harlem river the Republicans hope
to hold the Coler lead to less than 70.-
000 at the ouside figures. Brooklyn,
they have excellent reason to believe,
will not give Coler much over 10,000
and they base upon most encouraging
reports from Queens and Richmond an
outside estimate of 3,500 Coler major
ity. The district leaded, brimming over
with confidence, flocked to make final
report to the headquarters of the New
York Republican county committee to
day. Every one of them had to report
a silent widespread. Tammany defec
tion In his district. After hearing them
all and making a final survey of his
figures, Mr. Morris said:
"The Democratic estimate of this city
giving 112,000 plurality for Color is ab
surdvery absurd, f am more than
confident that we shall do our part to
ward electing Odell by a good round
majority."
)u every quarter of the local Republi
can headquarters today the claims of
"Sport" Murphy were laughed to scorn.
Senator Piatt, Colonel Dunn and Col
onel Pox, secretary of the Republican
state committee, have all left state
headquarters to go home to vote, with
a confidence In the result tomorrow that
was 111 concealed. Luther Little, who
remained In charge of tho headquar
ters at the Fifth Avenue hotel, chuckled
as he read over the stack of final re
ports from up-state leaders.
"Colonel Dunn's estimate of 37.C00
stands out, and It stands pretty fast,"
(mid ho. "So does Governor Odcll's
claim of 50,000. Not one of the late re
ports disturbs either prediction, but
each, In fact, tends rather to outdo
them."
Before Senator Plait left for Owcgo
last night he confided to a friend that
he would be on hand tomorrow night to
cheer for the election bulletins in Re
publican headquarters at the hotel.
"What's tho use of talking about It:
it's all over, and we win conclusively,"
ho Is quoted as saying.
OHIO WILL GIVE 70,000.
One Additional Republican Congress
man May Be Gained,
fly i:ilnsle Wire from The Associate J Press.
Columbus, O,, Nov. 3. Before the
party managers left for their homes to
night to vote, no unusual developments
were reported anywhere In this state.
The Democratic managers still persist
that there may be n surprise in tho
vnto on tho stato ticket and that they
will gain three congressmen, surely
two. The present Ohio delegation In
congress consists of seventeen Republi
cans and four Democrats, Chairman
Dick, before leaving for Akron this
afternoon, said he expected a Republi
can gain of onu by A. II, Jackson de
feating Congressman James A. Norton
In the Thirteenth district.
Chairman Dick lins not changed his
estimate of 70,000 plurality on the stato
ticket. Although tlio talk of tho cam
paign has been about Johnson succeed
ing llanna and afterwards becoming n
presidential nominee, no bets have been
made on Johnson as Hanua's successor
In the senate,
QUIET CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN.
State Legislature, It Is Conceded,
Will Be Republican.
lly i:xclusio Wlro from The Associated Press.
Detroit, Nov, 3. Tho campaign has
been one of the quietest ever known In
Michigan. Few outside speakers have
been brought In by the Republican
party, uml the principal campaigning
for the Democrats has been done by
Judge Duruud, tho Democratlo candi
date for governor.
Mr. Durand gave out a statement pre
dicting tho success of tho entire state
Democratic ticket tomorrow. This, how
ever, is more than Stnto Chairman Jus
tin It. AVhltlng and most other Demo-
mats anticipate. Chalrmnn Whiting
predicts the election of Mr. Durnnd,
with a possibility of the success of the
entire state ticket. Non-partisan esti
mates, however, give tho state to tho
Republicans from 30,000 to 40,000. The
legislature, It Is conceded, Will bo Re
publican. Nine of tho twelve congress
men that will be elected are conceded
to the Republicans.
AN "OFJF YEAR" IN INDIANA.
Republican LegiBlaturo Will Select a
Senator to Succeed Fairbanks.
D.v Kxclushe Wire from The Asoclatcd Press.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 3. The "oft
year" campaign In Indiana closed to
night. Leaders on both sides express
confidence of success tomorrow. Sena
tors Fairbanks and Beverldse, who
have delivered speeches In nearly every
county In the state, are out with state
ments claiming the state will go Re
publican by from 20,000 to 30,000 and
that their party will have a majority
In both houses of the legislature which
will select a United States senator to
succeed Senator Fairbanks.
Stain Chairman O'Brien and other
Democratic leaders are equally as con
fident of success as are the Republican
leuders.
IOWA IS CONCEDED.
Chairman Jackson Admits the Defeat
of the Democratic Party.
By Kxclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Dos Moines, Iowa, Nov. 3. It is be
lieved here tonight that a somewhat
larger vote will be polled In Iowa to
morrow than has been anticipated.
Chairman Spence today claimed the
election of the Republican state ticket
by 03,000, and the election of all tho
Republican congressional candidates.
Chalrmnn Jackson, of the Democratic
state committee, concedes the state to
tho Republicans by not over 33,000, but
claims the election of Wade and Crald
in the Second and First districts, and
the probable election of two or three
other Democrats to congress.
MASSACHUSETTS OUTLOOK.
Republicans Confident and Demo-
crats Hopeful.
lly K.i'lutc Wiic fiom The Associated Tie.-s.
Boston, Nov. 3. It is believed that
the total vote of Massachusetts will
run well above .",00,000. Republicans are
exceedingly confident, and the Demo
crats very hopeful. The former claim
the state by 25,000. while the latter be
lieve they will elect their ciindliYate for
governor by 8,000 plurality. The Repub
licans assert that twelve of the party
candidates for congress will win, while
the Democrats claim that they will
elect at least six out of fourteen con
gressmen. The uncertain element In tomorrow's
election is the strength of tho Social
istic vote. This year a phenomenal in
crease is looked for and it Is generally
acknowledged that that gain will be at
the expense of the Democrats.
REPUBLICANS CLAIM ILLINOIS.
Will Have Nineteen Out of the
Twenty-five Congressmen.
Br Exeliulie Wire from The Assuciitcd l'less.
Chicago, Nov. 3. Tho Republicans
claim in tomorrow's election they will
have nineteen out of twenty-five con
gressmen and more than enough mem
bers of the state legislature to elect
the next United States, senator, who Is
to succeed Senator William K. Mason.
The Democrats claim that they will
have a few more than a majority of
the legislature on joint ballot.
The Republicans claim they will
carry Cook county by not loss than
15,000. Twenty-live thousand Is their
high claim. The Democrats claim that
their county ticket will go in by 12,000,
It is admitted on both sides that there
will be a very largo independent vote,
and it Is difficult to tell which side
will benefit.

CLAIMS OF THE
TWO CHAIRMEN
Eve ot Election Found Both Sides
Maklnu Confident Predic
tions of Success.
BACH CLAIMS A
COMPLETE VICTORY
Chairman Taylor, However, Gives
Reasons Why He Makes His
Claims, While Chairman Pahey
Contents Himself with. Glittering
Generalities Republicans Will Re
ceive Returns in the Central Re
publican Club Rooms, and Demo
crats at Music Hall Shabby and
Cheap Eleventh Hour Campaign
Tricks Worked by the Desperate
Democratic Managers.
The eve of election found both sides
making confident predictions of suc
cess. There was a difference, however,
in the tone of the predictions. The
Republicans gave reasons why. The
Democrats contented themselves with
the most general sort of claims.
Statements by the Republican and
Democratic chairmen arc appended.
Mr. Taylor, as will be seen, makes an
analysis of the situation, indicating that
he knows what he is talking about.
Mr. Fahey makes only a short incur
sion into details. There is nothing in
It to show that the Democrats are doing
anything other than taking a chance.
CHAIRMAN TAYLOR.
"Pennypacker will carry the county
by 1,000. Tho fact that the Germans
will vote for him solidly will conter
act any losses that may result from
other circumstances.
"Congressman Council will win by a
margin of from 2,000 to 3,000 votes.
When he ran previously, the party was
always split by factional strife. This
time there is not a kicker of conse
quence. Possibly never before in tho
history of the party was there such
perfect harmony and so many enthus
iastic workers. He will lose a few hun
dred Republican votes, which will be
given his opponent by close personal
friends, but the additional Democratic
vote that will come to Mr. Conhell this
year by reason of the weakness of Mr.
Howell In his own party will make up
for these losses more than ten-fold.
"Mr. Council will get the unanimous
vote of the thinking independent citi
zens of the county, because of the
fact that it would be bad policy to de
crease President Roosevelt's supporters
in congress at tills time. Many Demo
cratic mine workers will join with their
Republican brethren in testifying their
gratitude to Roosevelt for settling the
strike, by casting a vote for a. man
whom President Roosevelt personally
requested to stand for re-election.
"The Democrats have two of the
tour judges. There is no reason In the
world why they should have three.
This, coupled with the fact that there
Is no reason why Judge Vosburg should
not be continued on the bench leaves
the Democrats with a reasonable argu
ment to advance for Mr, Sando's elec
tion. Judge Vosburg's election was
never in question. Ills majority Is the
only thing In doubt. Abuse of si judi
cial candidate once resulted In the ob
ject of the abuse receiving a. surpris
ingly big majority. In Judge Vosburg's
case history is likely to repeat itself.
"Morris and Penman have strength
ened themselves wonderfully during
their incumbency of the commissioners'
office and they were two of the strong
est men the party over put up. Durkin
will be the third man. Burschcll killed
himself by his campaigning methods,
particularly, by his go-it-alone cir
culars. "Jordan's great fight for the senate
will land him a winner by an easy mar
gin. He will get a pratlcally unani
mous vote from the city lino to tho
county line on the north. All four of
tlie Republican candidates for repre
sentative will be elected, and tho two
Republican candidates for mine Inspec
tor have a walk over.
"There Is absolutely no possibility of
a Republican candidate being defeat
ed." CHAIRMAN FAHEY.
"I claim tho election of tho entire
Democratic ticket. 1 will not give any
figures, but the majorities, I will say,
will bo substantial. The county will
certainly go Democratic There Is a
general uprising against tho Republi
can machine In the Republican ranks;
the Democratic party is solid and en
thusiastic. "Connell will not get any more than
his usual Democratlo vote, while Howell
will make tremendous Inroads on the
Republican side.
"The present Democratic committee
Is the best I over had any connection
with. It Is well organized, aggressive
and efficient, Most of our workers nre
recruited from tho younger men of the
party."
The Republican county coininllteo
has arranged to receive returns at the
Central Republican club rooms. The
Democrats have engaged Muslo hull,
Tho Tribune will bulletin statu and
local returns by stereoptlcon In front
ot The Tribune building on Washing
ton avenue,
Tho promise of mild weather coupled
with the remarkable Interest shown In
tho election despite the strike and It
being an off year augurs for a, big vote.
Tho chances are that the returns will
bo late In coming in because of the size
of the ballot.
The Limit of Depravity.
Tho "anti-machine" managers, after
Hooding tho county yesterday wth
copies of a grossly libelous tirculur,
which, for scurlllty and depravity has
never been matched in the record of
dirty politics In this neighborhood,
wound up their campaign against Wil
liam Connell last night with a bewhlsk
ered trick by circulating' among select
ed persons the following type-written
letter:
Scrnnlon, Pa Nov. I, 1502.
My Dear Sir: Your name has been sug
gested to mo as one who can do womo
quiet, hut effective, work In your district
on election day for tho Hon. William
Connell. I 5I111II nniko It well worth your
wlille If you will meet 1110 near the en
trance to Hotel Jcrmyn on next Monday
evening nt S.30 o'clock. Pleaso carry 11
newspaper In your left-hand cout pocket.
1 shall he there to meet you at thut hour.
Very sincerely yours,
A. J. L,
Representative for Hon. William Connell.
This trick Is as o.ld, almost, as Raid
mountain. It was 'considered a fuliiy
effective one when new, because cal
culated to make angry the recipient of
the letter after the promised "repre
sentative" had failed to materialize.
But it Is needless to say that In this
instance Jt did no mischief, being
fraudulent on Its face.
The Democrats also circulated a story
outside of the city last night to the
effect that the Republican county com
mittee had abandoned the fight for
Judge Vosburg. Tills is absolutely with
out truth. . The county committee and
everybody connected with the fight Is
working for the wholo Republican
ticket from top to bottom, and expects
to carry every man on It triumphantly
to victory toduy. Let no Republican bo
deceived by such yarns.

OP THIS ASTROLOGER
He Predicts That All Kinds of
Trouble Is in Store and That
Public Buildings Will Fall.
A kindly hearted young man named
Gustave Myers, who lives in Hoboken,
N. J and who communes with the
stars and does other things that as
trologers usually do has seen a vision
of Impending trouble which Is due to
strike thlspa'rt of the country some
time between today and 'Nov. 17 and
apparently with the sole desire to be
of service to his fellow creatures he has
written the following letter of warning
which wus received yesterday by Super
Intedent or Police Day:
Hoboken, N. J., Nov. 2. 1002.
Chief of Police. Scrunton, I'a.
Dear Sir: As a young American as
trologer, I write to Inform you that the
stars Indicate and Impart to me the fact
that a great calamity Is indicated to oc
cur In tho mines in Pennsylvania, either
in the nature of an explosion, riots, or
uprisings, and much trouble among the
miners,', during November 4, .", 1!, 7. S, li),
17 and IS, but tho greatest evil Is indi
cated to occur on the 4th, 7th nud 17th
lust, and too much precaution cannot be
used, especially on the three most evil
dates, as in all probability a plot is under
way at this very moment. I might add
that thero is great danger of the fall of
public buildings, and in all underground
work in and around New York, New Jcr-!-oy,
Peuuy!vnuhi and Washington, I).
C on thu above mentioned dates, and It
would be highly advisable for building
Inspectors In these places to make a
special inspection and much lo.-s of life
and property can then Im averted.
Trusting that much benefit will be de
rived through my timely ndvlco, which I
feel sure It will If some Is seriously and
carefully heeded. I remain
Sincerely,
Ou-.tnvo Meyer.
N. H. It will Im well to pass this in
formation along the line. O. M.
Superintendent Day carefully followed
out the suggestion made lit the post
script yesterday so that in case the
government building or the city hall
should tumble down shortly tho blame
can't lie laid on him.

DYNAMITE FIENDS

The House of Samuel Domlulck Is
Badly Damaged in an Effort to
Kill Non-Union Men.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, Nov. 3. The house 'of

city, was badly damaged at an early
hour tills morning by dynamite in an
attempt to wreck vengeance on 11
non-union man who was spending the

noised about that he had been a non
union man in the vicinity where be
lived and had been driven from the
place.
It was evidently thought that this
would bu a good time to kill two birds
with the one stone, with non-union men
for the- birds nnd dynamite as a sub
stitute for the stones. As a. result
the porch of the house was badly
wrecked and the front windows shat

LARGE YESTERDAY
Home Consumers Pretty Well Sup
plied and Heavier Tonnage Will
Go to Other Markets.
By KxclutlYc Wire from The Associated Press.
Wilkes-Rarre, Nov. 3. Although the
various coal companies are not prepar
ed to give figures, it is known that tho
output of coal in the region loday
was larger than any day since the
collieries resumed operation eleven days
ago. Tho volume of coal going to other
than home markets Is also larger, l.ast
week local dealers in the coal towns
would not accept orders for Immediate
delivery. Orders were booked three
and four days ahcud. Now the home
consumers of hard coal are pretty well
supplied and this allows a heavier ton
nage to go to other markets.
President Mitchell's protest against
the sliding scale as filed with the In
vestigating commission meets with the
approval of all miners. Tho opinion at
strike headquarters Is that the re
adoptlou of the scale would bo 11 step
backward and instead of the miners
gaining anything by their struggle they
would bo the losers.

HONES OP THE MINERS
ARE INSPECTED
Localities Where tho Strike Is Still
On Mr. Markle Joins the Party at
Oakdale He Exhibits the Club
House Which Is Maintained for
the Benefit of the Miners A Ses-
sion Held.
By Kxclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Ilazleton, Pa., Nov. 3. The anthracite
strike commission spent the entire day
In tho Lehigh Valley region, visiting
one mine and several of the mining
villages. While most of the commis
sioners were looking over the territory,
ltecorder Wright was kept busy on the
train attending to the correspondence
of the commission. Among the matters
ho disposed of was the sending of a
copy of President Mitchell's statement
of the miners' case which was filed
with tho commission on Sunday night
before Its departure from Scranton for
tills region, to all the coal companies
Involved In the present controversy.
The statement was mailed from this
city, and should be In the hands of the
companies tomorrow. Under the agree
ment made before the commission at
Washington the operators will make a
reply In three or four days.
The trip of the commission through
this region was an Interesting1 one, tho
conditions of mining being somewhat
different from those existing In' tho
Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys. At
nearly every station a small crowd was
guthered to get a glimpse of the mem
bers of the commission. The commis
sioners were met at Pond Creek early
in the forenoon by District President
Duffy and National Board Member P.
G. Gallagher, of the miners' union, who
represented the mine workers. The
operators' Interests were taken care of
by General Superintendent S. D. War
rl'ner, of the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany and General Superintendent W. J.
Richards, of the Lehigh and -Wilkes
narre Coal company, which is controlled
by the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
A conference was held at Pond Creek
between the company and miners'
representatives and for somo time they
could not agree as to which mine the
arbitrators should visit. The superin
tendents wanted the commissioners to
take a look at No. 40 shaft of the
Lehigh Valley company and the repre
sentatives of the miners thought that
the Ilarwood colliery of C. Pardee &
Co., an Individual concern was. a morft
typical mine of the region. After some
argument the matter was compromised
and tho Audenried colliery of the Le
high ana SVilkes-Baxra company was
selected.
Where tlie StrlEe Is Still On.
The commission's first stop of tho day
was at Upper Lehigh, where A. C. .Lels
eurlng, superintendent of the Upper
Lehigh Coal company took the commis
sioners for a drive through the town.
Wlille in this place the arbitrators vis
ited one of the homes of the miners, tho
first they have been in since they have
been touring tho region. Drlfton was
the next place visited, and there a
crowd gathered about the commission
as Superintendent Smith, of Coxe Bros.'
company.whose mines are located there,
explained the trouble between the com
pany and Its men. All the miners em
ployed at these mines are still on striko
because tlie company insists upon them
returning' to work aa individuals and
not In a body.
At Jeddo, John Markle, the Independ
ent operator, joined the party and es
corted the commissioners to the' mining
village of Oakdale, near Jeddo. Mr.
Markle showed them tho club housn
which he maintains there for tlie bene
fit of the men. Ou the run Into Ha.Ie
ton, where the breaker of No. 10 shaft
was Inspected, Messrs, Markle, Duffy
and Gallagher had a spirited discussion
over tho differences existing at tho
Markle mines. Nope of the men at tho
Marklo colliery have returned to work
for the same reason as those which are
keeping tho men out of the Coxe mines.
Mr. Marklo told them he was running
tho Marklo company and would nuiln
tiiln discipline.
Luncheon was served at the Central
hotel here nnd the entire afternoon
was spent in tho Audourled mine, Tho
commissioners were lowered Into tho
workings 350 feet below, through an
1,100 foot slope, duo of tho now
"physical features" they saw was a
vein ot coal with a very steep pitch
which was difficult to mine. While
they were inspecting flits a, blast was
fired In a nearby chamber and the
lights carried by those who remained
In tho gangways below were extin
guished by the rush of air. Some ot
tho party .were timid for n moment,
wondering what had happened, but
they wero quickly assured that there
was no danger, by men familiar with
the mine. Whllo underground many
questions were asked of th miners at
work by tho commissioner.
Tho commission held n three-hour
executive session tonight, Nothing was
given out as to what the commission-,
era discussed (jj
