DP ITS WORK.
A. Committee Galls on President Har
rison at Washington and is Well
Received—Quebec’s Prime Minister
Addresses the Congress —E. L.
Dunne of Florida Delivers a Speech
That Makes a Hit.
Baltimore. 15 and., Nov. 12,—The con
cluding session* of the great congress of
Catholic laymen were held to-day with all
the enthusiasm and crush of spectators that
characterized the opeuing meetings. Hon.
Konore Mercier, prime minister of Que
bec, made an address to the congress that
was in many respects one of the most rous
ing the delegates have heard this week in
Baltimore. Mr. Mercier declared that he
regarded the invitation extended to him to
speak as an honor to himself and to the
neighboring country from which he came.
His reference to the reoentlv repaired de
spoil i ent of the J esuite by the same George
111. who had despoiled the American revolu
tionary fathers of their liberties and rights,
was cheered again and again. The restitution
act by the Canadian government, he said,
will long stand an honorable act before
manhood. As the status of Catholics,
whether in Canada or the United States,
the world should know that loyalty to God
Msafls loyalty to the state. [Cheers.]
CANADA AND THE STATES.
To the American poet, Longfellow, and
his pathetic allusion to the Catholic* and
Canadians, Mr. Mercier paid a tribute of
noble eloquence, concluding with quota
tions from the poet, ‘‘Ship of State,” which
tne premier so used as to imply that they
expressed the feelings of Quebec to the
American union. [Wild applause.]
Delegate Fagan of New York offered a
resolution which was adopted with a rush,
tendering on behalf of the congress most
cordial greetings to the people of Canada,
and acknowledging their warm sentiment
of regard, as expressed by Premier Mercier.
Monsignor Gadd of England, special
representative of Cardinal Manning,
briefly congratulated the congress on its
success, and following him came a long
paper on “Phiianthrophy,’' by Peter L. Poy
of St. Louis.
ON FUTURE CONGRESSES.
After the recess the committee on future
congresses was appointed ai follows: John
Lee Carroll of Baltimore, James H. Dormer
of Detroit, H. J. Spaunhorst of St. Louis,
Patrick Farrellv of New York, M. D.
Faustey of Fort Wayne, Ind., John D.
Keiley of Brooklyn, W. L. Kelly of St. Paul.
M. J. Harson of New Hampshire, Morgan
O’Brien of New York, John Boyle O’Reilly
of Boston, W. J. Ouahan of Chicago,
Thomas J. Semmes of New Orleans.
THE REPORT FROM WASHINGTON.
Joseph J. O’Donohu of New York, the
chairman of the committee to wait on
1 resident Harrison at Washington, and in
vite him to be present, reported that the
committee had just returned from Wash
ington, and were proud to say that they
had been received cordially and handsomely
by the chief magistrate of the nation.
[Cheers.]
President Harrison had said that if it
were not that he was preparing his mes
sage he would accept the invitation gladly,
and in any event he would be with the del
egates in Washington to-morrow at the
dedication of the great new university.
The report was enthusiastically received,
and obligations of the congress to President
Harrison and the committee were expressed
by more cheering and a rising vote.
READING OF PAPERS.
The reading of papers was then resumed,
the authors and their topics being as fol.
lows:
George D. Wolffa of Philadelphia, “The
Catholic press. ”
Richard H. Clarke of New York. “What
Catholics have done in the last hundred
years.”
William L. Kelly of St. Paul, “Religion
iu education.”
H. J. Spaunhorst of St. Louis, “Socie
ties.”
Conde P. Pallin of St. Louis, “Catholic
American Literature.”
Manley B. Tello of Cleveland, “Sunday
Observance.”
William Richards of Washington, “Labor
and Capital.”
Prof. Heman Allen of Chicago, “Church
Music.”
John H. Campbell of Philadelphia,
Temperance.”
DUNNE MAKES A HIT.
Edmund L. Dunne, of Florida, treated
extemporaneously his subject, “The right
of the State in Education.” His humorous
asides and digressions, the first-laugliter
provoking element introduced in the pro
ceedings, so caught the delegates that his
I time was extended over and over bygen-
I consent. Recant events in Bos
: t n were particularly the target of his
I sarcasm. When the speech was finally con-
I c ,u< led Mr. Dunne was wildly applauded.
I the vice presidents and dignitaries on the
I platform vied in crowding around him and
I congratulating him, and the delegates gave
■ aim the first recall acoorded to any speaker.

true Catholics.”
THE PLATFORM.
Judge Morgan J. O’Brien of the New
York state supreme court presented the
report of the platform committee, which is
lomr and comprehensive. It says:
The meeting of the first congress of the Cath
olic laymen la the United States to celebrate
the hundredth anniversary of the establishment
of the American hierarchy, Is an event of the
gre&t-st importance to our churoh and the
country.
It would seem eminently proper that we, the
laymen of the church, should meat and renew
our allegiance to the doctrines we profess:
that we should show to our fellow countrymen
the true relations that exist between state and
church; that we obey and love the government
of our choice: that we should proclaim that
unity of sentiment upon all subjects presented
to us which has ever been a source of tbe Cath
olic strength, and that in a spirit of perfect
charity toward every denomination, we should
freely exchange cmr views in relation to all
matters which affect us as members of the
Catholic churoh.
TRUK AMERICANS.
In the first place, then, we rejoice at the
marvelous development of our country, and re
gard with just pride the part taken by the
Catholics in such development. We repudiate
with equal earnestness the assertion that we
need to lay amide auy of our devotedness to our
church to be tme Americans, and the insinua
tion that we need to abate any of love for our
country's principles and institutions to be faith
ful Catholics.
IN FAVOR OF EDUCATION.
We recognize, next in importance to religion
itself, education as one of the ohief factors iu
forming the character of the individual, the
virtue of tbe citizen and promoting the advance
of true civilization. Therefore we are com
mitted to a sound, popular education which
demands not only the physical and intellectual,
but also moral ami religious training of our
youth. Aa in the state schools no provision is
made for teaching religion we must continue to
support oar own schools, colleges and universi
ties already established, and multiply and
perfect others so that the benefits of Christian
education may by brought within the reach of
every Catholic child within these United
States.
THE CHRISTIAN HOME.
We also recognize among the three
great educational agencies, besides the
church and theschool, tbe Chris
tian home. “The root of the common
wealth is in the homes ot the people.” What
ever imperils its permanev, security and peace
is a blow aimed, not only at individual rights,
but is au attempt to subvert civil society and
Christian civilization. Therefore we denounce
the existence anil development of Mormonism
and the tendency to multiply the causes of
divorces a vinculo , as plague spots on our civili
zation, a discredit to our government, degrada
tion of the female sex and a standing menace
to the sanctity of the marriage bond.
CAPITAL AND LABOR.
Another danger which menaces our republic
is the constant conflict between capital and
labor. We therefore at all times must view
with feeling* of regret and alarm any antago
nism existing between them, because thereby
society itself is imperiled.
With the church we condemn nihilism, social
ism and communism, and we equally condemn
the heartless greed of capital.
THE CHURCH AS A MEDIATOR.
A remedy must be sought ln the mediation of
the church through her action on individual
conscience and thereby on society, teaching
each its respective duties as well as rights; and
in such civil enactments as have been rendered
necessary by these altered conditions. As
stated by His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons,
“labor has its sacred rights as well as its
dignity. Paramount among the rights of the
laboring classes Is their privilege to organize
and to form themselves into societies for their
mutual protection and beneflt. In honoring
and upholding labor, the nation is strengthen
ing its own hands as well as paying tribute to
worth. For contented and happy working
classes are the best safeguard of a
republic." The amelioration and promotion of
physical and moral culture of the negro race is
a subject of the utmost concern, and we pledge
ourselves to assist our clergy in all ways tend
ing to effect any improvement in their condi
tion.
There are many Christian issues in which
Catholics could come together with non-
Catholics, and shape civil legislation for the
public weal. In spite of rebuff and injustice,
and overlooking zealotry, we should seek
alliance with non-Catholies for proper Sunday
observance. Without going over to the Judaic
Sabbath, we can bring the manses over to mod
eration of the Christian Sunday To effect this,
we must set our faces sternly against the sale
of iutoxicating beverages on Sunday.
A TEMPERANCE PLANK.
The corrupting influence of saloons in politics
and the crime and pauperism resulting from
excessive drinking reqqins. legislative restric
tion, whioh we can aid ip. procuring by joining
our influence with that of other enemies of in
temperance. Let us resolve that drunkenness
shall be made odious, and give practical en
couragement and supportrto the Catholic tem
perance societies. Wo favor the passage and
enforcement of laws rigidly closing saloons ou
Sunday, and forbidding the sale of liquors to
minors and intoxicated persons.
CATHOLIC READING.
Efforts should be made to promote Catholic
reading. It is our duty to support, liberally
good Catholic journals and books and acquaint
ourselves with Catholic doctrines and opinion
on important questions constantly coming to
to the front and demanding right answers and
just practical solutions.
CHURCH SINGING.
As fast as practicable we hope for the intro
duction of proper church music in all our
churches where other music is now heard.
Music should help devotion at divine service
and not he such as tends to divert the mind
from heavenly thoughts. Efforts should be
made to have the congregation join in the sing
ing, a Catholic custom formerly, but practiced
in only a few churches nowadays.
POWER OF THE POPE.
We cannot conclude without recording our
solemn conviction that absolute freedom of the
holv see is equally indispensable to the peace
of the church and welfare of mankind. We
demand in the name of humanity and justice
tnat this freedom be scrupulously respected by
aU secular governments. We protest against
the assumption by auy such government of the
right to affect the interests or control
the action of our holy father by any form
of legislation or other public act to which his
full approbation has not been previously given,
and we pledge to Leo XIII., our worthy pontiff,
to whose hands almighty God has com
mitted the helm of Peter's bark amid the
tempests of this stormy age. the loyal sympathy
and unstinted aid of all his spiritual chil
dren in vindicating that perfect liberty which
he justly claims as his sacred and inalienable
right.
RECEIVED WITH APPLAUSE.
Rapt silenoe, interrupted at intervals by
storms of applause, marked the reading of
the platform. The planks ou education,
labor and Sunday observance were received
with the greatest demonstrations.
On motion of Daniel E. Rudd, a negro
delegate from Cincinnati, the rejiort, with
out discussion, was adopted without dissent
ing voice.
At this point was undoubtedly the climax
of the congress, but the other proceedings
of the day were full of übsorhiug interest.
Theconvention then adjourned sine die.
THE TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION.
Forty thousand torches wero carried
flaming through the streets of Baltimoreby
Catholic marchers to-night. Sweeping past
Cardinal Gibbous’ house they formed a
magnificent spectacle, solid masses of hu
rnauity packing the streets and sidewalks
and windows as far as the eye could reach.
At 11:30 o’clock the great procession was
still in progress passing the mansion, though
the start was made three hours previous
and the marchers averaged eight abreast.
THE POST OF HONOR.
AU manner of Catholic organizations
went to swell the parade. The Catholic
benevolent legion, with representatives
from a dozen cities, had the poet of honor.
Temperanoe societies and parochial orders
followed each other in bewildering legions.
Scattered all through the parade were
baads of Catholics iu gay re-

galia and these oap'ured. applause
everywhere by their proud appearance
and accuracy of maneuver. Uniforms of
marvelous dcwigi.s, and banners and trans
parencies and allegorical floats all helped to
make up what was said by many to lie tbe
greatest popular Catholic demonstration of
the century. Not the least interesting
feature was the turnout of hundreds of
parochial school boys, both white and
adored. The watch word of the night,
judging by the constant repetition In trans
parent**, was “Religious Liberty.”
REVIEWED BY THE CARDINAL.
Cardinal Gibbons stood in his doorway
with the pope’s delegate beside hun on one
hand, and Archbishop Corrigan of New
York on the other, and beamed on the
marchers and momentarily passed his time
dotting his scarlet berretta to the oft re
peated salutes, and explaining to Arch
bishop Satolli the significance of the mot
toes, and the identity of the endless number
of societies. When nearly midnight the
pope’s representative gazed after the last of
the parade, he turned and congratulated
the oardinaL They had looked on a pic
ture probably never equaled even in the
eternal city.
A CALL ON HARRISON.
Washington, Nov. 12.—A oommittee
from the Catholic congress, in session in
Baltimore, waited on President Harrison

Rudd of Ohio, Anthony Kelly of Minnesota,

The American Catholic congress, now as
sembled in Baltimore, has delegated to this
committee the honorable ami agreeable duty of
waitiug upon tile Presideut of the United
States for the purpose of expressing tbe senti
ments of the Catholic people of America.
10,000,000 PEOPLE REPRESENTED.
Representing in a measure 10,000,000 of our
fellow-citizens who share in the bless ngs and
privileges of this government, devoted to its
constitution and laws, the congress desires to
voice ami emphasize the loyalty and fidelity of
the Catholic people of these United States to
the republic and its institutions, as well
as their respect for the chief magisf
t.rate of the nation, on the centennial or
the establishment of episcopal authority in these
United States. The Catholics ot America in their
first congress assembled, while rejoicing in the
marvelous growth of their faith on this soil aud
returning grateful thanks to God, therefore feel
the occasion to be eminently fitting to voice
also their heartfelt rejoicing over the perpetu
ally and solidity of our civil institu
tions, the development of the spirit
of religious liberty, and tolerance, and material
progress and prosperity in our own country,
aud. through your honored station, to express
to our fellow citizens of this great republic in a
spirit of unity and brotherly love a desire,
while pursuing the dictates of our owu con
science iu serving God, to march hand in hand
in promoting the best interests of our common
country and the welfare of society. The con
gress bids this committee jvhile conveying to
you, Mr. President, expression of its respect, to
say that It would be a gratifying pleasure and
a privilege to have the honor of welcoming you
to its session iu Baltimore.
The address was presented by Me
O’Donohue of New York, chairman of the

HARRISON’S REPLY.
Iu reply the President said he appreciated
the compliment paid him by the visit, as
well as the truth of the sentiments expressed
in the address in regard to the fidelity of
the Catholics of the United States to the
constitution and laws of the country. He
regretted that his official duties would pre
vent his attending the sessions of the con
gress in Baltimore, but be thought he could
promise them that he would be present at
the opening of the Catholic University
near this city to-morrow. The oommittee
returned to Baltimore in the afternoon
well pleased with their visit.
KENTUCKY WARRIORS.
The French-Eversole Factions Kill Off
a Few More Men.
Louisville, Ky., Noy. 12.—A special to
the Courier-Journal from London, Ky.,
says: “Reports from the fight of the French-
Eversole factions in Ferry county continue
to be meager aud conflicting, but there is
no doubt that a desperate encounter com
menced at Hazard Thursday, aud is per
haps yet iu progress. A latter received here
this afternoon dated Uyndan, Leslie
county, Nov. 11, says: ‘A fight occurred in
Hazard Thursday, beginning at 4 p. m. and
continuing fifty-two hours, resulting in the
death of three or four persons and tbe
wounding of several others.
THE NUMBER ENGAGED.
“About fifty on one side and fifteen on
the other wero engaged. It would have
continued longer, but the ammunition gave
out on tb6 Eversole side, and they left the
town in the hands of the French party.
Persons from that section reaching here to
day say that Ed Campbell and John Mc-
Knight of the Eversole party were in
stantly killed Thursday, and Jesse Fields,
jailor of Perry county, and four others on
the French side are badly wounded. Fields
will certainly die.’”

BAD BLOOD AT THE BAR.
LONGNECKBR AND FORREST KX
OHANOH THE LIE.
A Clash With Their Fists Narrowly
Averted—The Custody of Exhibits
Placed in Evidence the Cause of the
Dispute-A Woman Who Saw Cro
nin Enter the Cottage.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 12. There is much
bad blood between the counsel tor the prose
cution and those for the defense in the Cro
nin case, which is not oonflced to the prin
cipal counsel, but if shared also by their
juniors. There was a wrangle last night in
the clerk’s office after the adjournment, in
which District Attorney Longnecker and
Attorney Forrest exchanged the lie and
nearly came to blows.
WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.
The dispute was about the custody of ex
hibits which have been placed In evidence.
The counsel for the dsfease w I shod them
taken from the prosecuting attorney and
placed in the haude of the clerk. This
wrangle broke out afresh in oourt this
raoruiug without any apparent reason ex
cept that Attorneys Forrest and Haynes
wished to emphasize distrust aud dislike of
Prosecutor Longnecker. The matter was
dually dropped and testimony proceeded
with.
CRONIN’S VALISE.
What was left of the valise found in the
sewer with Dr. Cronin’s effects was ex
amined by the salesman who sold the fur
niture to the mysterious blmmonds, and
declared it to b identical with the valise
sold to Biimnonds along with the furniture.
CRONIN’S ENTRY INTO THE COTTAGE.
Pauline Hoertel, a washerwoman, testified
that she passed the Carlson cottage between
8 and 9 o’clock on the night of the murder.
She saw a white horse drawing a buggy in
which there wore two men driven up to
the cottage. The larger mau, who appeared
like a gentleman, got out of the buggy,
and, taking a sachel or box out of the
buggy, went up the steps and entered the
cottage. The driver of the white horse at
once turned around and drove back toward
Chicago.
SOUNDS OF A SCUFFLE.
The gentleman knocked, and was at once
admitted to the cottage. As quick as the
door was closed Mrs. Hoertel heard sounds
as of blows and the fall of a heavy body,
aud what sounded to her like someone call
ing, “Oh, God.”
In the confusion of sounds she also heard
the word, “Jesus.” Then in a very short
time everything became still. She said:
' ‘lt was as if somebody was fighting and
then as if something fell.”
WENT IN UNHESITATINGLY.
The witness said that this occurred soon
after 8 o’clock at night. “The man who
went into the cottage,” shs continued,
"went Into the house uuhesitatingly, and it
seemed to me as if the door was open, or as if
someone opened it for him as he came up
the steps. When 1 turned from Ashland
avenue and started east I saw a man stand
ing between the Carlson house and the
oottage. He was inside the fence. These
was a light in front of the cottage and the
night was bright starlight.” This finished
the direct examination of the wituess and
she was turned over to the mercies of the
cross-examining lawyer for the defense.
BURKE’S ARREST.
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion, Donald F. McKinnon, desk sergeant
at tbe Central police station in Winnipeg,
took the witness chair aud told of the arrest
of Burke and finding upon him 150 in
money and a tioket to Liverpool, via Mon
treal, iu the name of W. J. Cooper.
PURCHASED SHIRTS.
Henry Plauslie, a salesman in a shirt
store, testified that on tbe morning after
the murder a man came into tbe store and
wanted to buy a shirt. He objected with
some show of temper to permitting his
wrists to be measured, but bought a shiQ,
and shortly after came back with another
smaller man, who also bought a shirt. Both
kept their coats buttoned closely. Tbe
witness then pointed out Burke as the
larger of the two men.
A PHOTOGRAPH OF COONEY.
Mr. Ingham—Look at the photograph I
now show you.
Mr. Forrest—l object.
The court—For what purpose do you in
troduce that?
Mr. Ingham—We introduce it to identify
the other man. Later on wo propose to in
troduce the orginal of the photograph. He
is not one of the defendants on trial, but he
is indicted.
The Court—l will Jet it go in.
Mr. Ingham—Have you ever seen this
man whose photograph that isi
The Wituess—Yes. That was tho other
man; that was the small man.
Tho photograph was that of Cooney, the
THE MAN WHO MOVED CRONIN’S TRIAL.
After some testimony not entirely new
in relation to Kunze and Coughlin, Daniel
Brown, an ex policeman and ex-member of
the Clan-na-Gael, took the stand. A long
wrangle ensued over this witness’ testi
mony. States Attorney Lringneckor said
that he proposed to show that in 1885 this
witness had moved the appointment of a
committee to try Dr. Cronin for treason for
having read a circular in his camp which
was issued without the authority of the ex
ecutive; that a committee from the differ
ent camps was appointed; that Coughlin
was a member of that committee, and that
Cronin was found guilty of treason and ex
pelled.
THE LAWYERS IN A TANGLE.
In the course of tbe talk the lawyers got
this matter tangled up with Dr. Cronin’s
alleged trial for reading the report of the
committee to try the Triangle—Sullivan,
Keeiy and Boland—in Buffalo last year.
Finally Mr. Forrest said: ’’Now we are not
here, if the court please, t > apologize for
Alex. Sullivan or to defend him. We have
no retainer for him, but we protest that the
prejudice which exists against him
should not be allowed to have weight
against our clients. I wish to
call your honor’s attention to the records
of Judge Bake's court, which show that
Alexander Sullivan three days ago was
discharged from his $120,000 bail by order of
the court of Cook county. After Alexander
Sullivan has been discharge-1 by the other
court last weok, I protest against anything
against Alex. Suflivau being introduced
into this case. We have no defense to make
for any Triangle, and no attack to make on
it, nor have wo any apology to make for
any Triangle; our duty does not require us
to do so. All we ask is that Dan Conghlin
and Martin Burke (at the top of bis voice)
l.e tried for their sins, and not tried for the
sins of Alexander Sullivan, and 1 protest
against this whole scheme as nothing but ao
attempt to conuect my client’s name with
Alexander Sullivan.”
FOSTER’* PROTEST.
Mr. Foster—The counsel for tfce state ex
peot to convict my cltent, Beggs, because
he was a friend of Alexander Sullivan, and
for no other purpose, when it is a matter of
fact that he could not find enough evidence
against Alexander .Sullivan to enable him
to procure even an indictment against him.
I do not stand here either to laud or defend
Sullivan, but I submit to your honor that
you ore not going to convict these men
upon evidence thst they are friendi of
Alexander Sullivan. If he is the black
sheep, if he is as guilty a* they say he is,
why don’t they indict himi
The State's Attorney-If some of his
dupes will tell us the truth and the facts,
we will get au indictment against him
pretty soon.
Mr. Donohue—l except to that statement]
A SALTY HKJOINDSR.
The State's Attorney—You aru uot de
fending Alexander Sullivan, are you! You
are not a dupe of his, ere you i Now, wo
propose to show here that, not"ithstaudlug
Alexander Sullivan walks the streets of the
city of Chicago, we propose to show here
that four years ago this very same man who
was on the executive committee, aud
charged with fraudulent appropriation of
these funds, proseouted Dr. Croniu, and
that this man Daniel Cmighllu was on that
committee trying Dr. Cronin for writing a
circular that reflected on Alexander Sulli
van'* character..
ATTITUDE OF THE COURT.
The court—i shall allow any remarks
made by Coughlin Indicating malice toward
Dr. Cronin to go into the case, as tt prop
erly belongs to it, but in regard to the
auestion now before me, it seems to me
Bat the proposal of the state’* attorney
would be to go into the history of the mo
tives rather than a development of facte
relative to the case. That is the point the
court has iu bis mind at the present time.
It would seem to me from tbe
evidence already in the case
that you have motives that
are important, aud that there has been evi

CARLISLE ON THE ELECTIONS.
He le Eure they Mean Cleveland's
Honomlnation In 1892.
Chicago, Not. 12.—A dispatch to the
Time* from Kansas City, Mo., says: “Hon.
John O. Carlisle, who with hi* wife and
son ha* been spending the last month in
Idaho, -passed through here yesterday on
his way to Washington. Speaking of last
wi*k s election results hlr. Carlisle said:
‘Of course theie were tuauy reasons
which led to the disaster to the
Hepublicau party all oeer the country,
ohief of which was the tariff issue. It is au
off year in which the people, untraiumeled
by party, rote the way they think. Pro
hibition was another factor in bringing
about the glorious result, and especially in
lowa. To show that this was not the pri
mary cause, however, of the republican de
feat in that state, one need only study the
returns. The prohibition sentiment is
strougest in the rural districts of the state,
yet the returus show great demooratic gains
in those localities.
VOTED AS THEY - THINK.
"It i* plain that the farmers voted in
accordance with their tariff conviction*,
the cities certainly helping out with votes
against prohibition. The same can be said
of all the other states. The ieaveu of tariff
reform is, as Cleveland has said, working,
the lint fruits of which wore garnered last
Tuesday. The election moans nothing else
than Cleveland in 1802. Although Clave
laud was not the originator of tariff reform
ho emphasized it and intensified the interest
in it. I will say that had the providential
election of last year beou repeated a mouth
afterward Cleveland would buvo boen
elected.
JUST A MONTH TOO LATE.
“It was Immediately after the election
that the people saw the way they should
have voted. Now It. is emphatically Cleve
land. Cleveland is iu tho air. (Jov. Hill
of New York is a good democrat, but he, as
well as others, well know that it is Cleve
land and reform the [teoplo want, and it is
he whom they will have. You have carte
blanche to say for me eulogistically any
thing about Mr. Cleveland.''
Mr. Carlisle thought that iu view of the
recent election Mr. McKinley’s chances for
the speakership were rather faded. It lay,
he thought, between Mr. Heed of Maine
and Mr. Connor of Illinois.
lOWA’S VOTE.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 12.—The official
voto for state officers was cauvassed in
every county yesterday. At 11 o'clock last
night the State Register had received full
returns from eighty-six of the ninety-nine
counties of the state. They show that
lioies, dem., for governor, it elected by a
plurality estimated at (1,000. The lowe*t
vote on the republican ticket outside of
governor was for lieuteuaut governor, and
the returus from eighty-six couutfes give
Poyner, rep., 150,031, and Bestow, dem.,
152,543. A probable estimate on tiro thir
teen remaining comities, basing the esti
mate on the vote for Hutchinson, who run*
behind Poynor, gives Poyner tho election
by about 500 plurality. The rest of the
republican ticket is therefore elected by
pluralities ruuniug from 1,000 to 11,000.
