2 THE SUNDAY 0KEGQ2JIAN, POBTLAXD; NOYEMBEE 1902. 00 ELL TWO TO ONE Wall Street Banks on His Re-eleciion. " GOVERNOR SURE HE- WILL WIN He Places Republican Majority at 50,000 Color and Other Dcmo- cratic Leaders Are Confident He Will Win Easily. (Continued from First Page.) Senator, practically wound up the Demo cratic campaign in Reno-this evening. He also addressed a large meeting. Both sides arc claiming the state. If one can judge from expressions, and looks of the fusion candidates, they are very much worried, while the Republicans arc confident. The fight for Governor be tween Cleveland, Republican, and Sparks, Democrat, promises to be very clo.e. It is pretty generally conceded that Far rington. Rep., will defeat Van Duser, Dem., for Congress by a majority various ly estimated from 1000 to 5000. The .Legis lative ticket will be badly .scratched in nearly every county in the state. New lands papers claim the Legislature on joint ballot by three. Hawley also claims the Legislature. The state will be very close on Mil lines. IX KANSAS. Democrats Concede Advantage to Republicans on State Ticket. TOPEIvA, Nov. 1. Kansas today finished the quietest state campaign in its history. In some counties, the fund provided for carrying on the campaign has not been touched, so little Interest has there been taken In the contest. Local fights, in some Instances, have furnished practical ly the only diversion in an otherwise un interesting affair. The Republican and Democratic state chairmen have Issued their customary forecasts, each claiming the state by a good majority. The Democratic mana gers privately concede, howevev, that the chances for the election of the Repub lican ticket are good, so far as the state Is concerned. The Democrats insist, at the same time, that they nave a good chance of carrying tho Legislature on account of the factional differences that have been, engendered among the Repub licans as a result of the Senatorial fight. It is possible that they will make gains in some counties. The question of re ciprocity has entered very little Into the Republican campaign. Roosevelt's rec ord and general prosperity have furnished the theme for the Republican orators. "V. H. Craddock, the Democratic nomi nee, has "based his campaign on a new tax theory. W. J. Bailey, the Republi can nominee for Governor, has not been In thevcanvass for the past two, months on account of the fatal illness ofrhls father. The Legislature, when elected, will hays to contend with a fierce three-cornered light for United States Senator, the prin cipals of which are Charles Curtis, Rep., Chester I. Long and Governor W. E. Stan ley. Harris, Dem., Is a candidate for re election. IX OHIO. All Interest Centers on Hannn-'.Tohn-son FlKht for the Senate. CINCINNATI. Nov. L The canvass In Ohio for minor state offices and members of Congress closed toniJt with less rally ing than usual oil the Saturday preceding election. The most nV.table exceptions t were in Cleveland, where Senator Hanna and Mayor Johnson have been speaking all this week, and at Columbus, where Senator Foraker addressed a large meet ing. There have been fewer speakers from other states than formerly. "With the exception of Congressional candi dates, the call has been mostly for Hanna and Johnson, and the interest has cen tered in the future of these two men more than in all candidates, and issues at the present time. Mayor Johnson is a candidate to suc ceed Hanna as Senator before the Legis lature that is elected in 1501. The result next Tuesday will have much bearing on their Senatorial contest. IX PEXXSYI.VAXIA. Republican Sure PcnaypncUcr Will Defeat Pnttlsnn. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. L The cim paign was brought to a close with a Re publican mass meeting in this city, as sisted by Governor Penrose, ex-Judge Pennypacker, gubernatorial candidate; ex-Postmaster-General Charles Emory Smith and local candidates. Both sides ire claiming a victory, the Republicans as serting that Judge Pennypacker will de feat R. E. Pattison, the Democratic can didate for - Governor, by at least 100,030 majority. The Democratic leiders, on the other hand, are equally confident of success. Paitlcular interest Is evidenced in the Legislature, as United States Sen ator Penrose comes up for re-election In March. A strong effort has been made by the Democrats to change the com plexion of the Legislature, in the hdpe of defeating Penrose. IX SEBRASKA. Republicans Believe Their TicUet Will-Have SOOO Majority. LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 1. The campaign in Nebraska closed tonight, so far as the actual work of the committees " is con cerned. Tonight W. J. Bryan concluded a three days' canvass through the state on behalf of the Fuslonists, traveling on a special train and making a dozen speeches a day. At the headquarters of the two promi nent political parties, no figures on plu ralities were given. Chairman Lindsay, for the Republicans, said he was satisfied with conditions, and his ticket would win. Unofficial estimates of Republican leaders Is that their entire ticket will be elected by not less than SOOO. Chairman Hall, of the Democratic committee, said "he had no claims to make. IX SOUTH CAROLIXA. Disfranchisement of Xegcrocs Will Swell Democratic Vote. RALEIGH. N. C, Nov. L Under the constitutional amendment which disfran chised illiterate negroes In North Caro lina, only 10,003 negroes have registered, and the Democratic majority. It Is stated, will be much larger than usual In the state election Tuesday. Of the members of Congress to be elected the Democrats declare they will elect all nine. The state ticket. It is asserted, will be carried by tho Democrats by not less than 50,000 majority. It is predicted that -tho Gen eral Assembly will be four-fifths Demo cratic, and this Insures the defeat of Senator Prltchard, Republican, and the election of a Democrat to succeed him. IX MINNESOTA. Chances Favorable for Re-election of Governor Van Sunt. ST. PAUL, Nov. L Both parties hive been putting out strenuous efforts to win, the most work being on the Governorship Governor Van Sant Is the Republican candidate for re-election, and the cam paign has been largely on the question ol an Indorsement of his opposition to the co-called railway merger. The question hc been one on which the two parties have divided, and the Indorsement given will be personal. The chances seem to be rather favorable to the' Republicans. For Congress, the Republicans seem to be well assured of six out of the nine dis tricts. ' IX SEW HAMPSHIRE. Issue of Prohibition a Feature In the Election. -CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 1. The .new factors in this state have been the Ifisuc of prohibition against license In the can vass for office and activity of the- So cialists.

Indications Favor La Follette's Elec tion by Greatly Reduced Majority. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 1. The political campaign in Wisconsin, which closed to night, has been the most vigorously fought in the state's .history. The indl cations seem to favor La Follette's re election by a greatly reduced plurality, which will be caused by disaffection in tne Republican ranks. Both state chairmen claim to be confident of success. Tho Leg islature, which will elect a United States Senator, will be Republican. Of the 11 members ofCongress th Republicans arc practically sure of eight, with two doubt ful. The Sixth District is conceded to the Democrats. IX DELAWARE. Fight on Addlclcs Likely to Elect Democrats. DOVER. Del., Nov. 1.

There are three can didates in the field for Congress, L; Heis lerball, regular Republican and present member: William Byrne. Union Republi can, and Henry A. Houston, Democrat. Tho Republicans are divided into two factions, the Addlcks and antl-Addicks. Because of this fact, it Is believed the Democrats will elect their. Congressional candidate and possibly enough Legislative candidates to elect two Senators. IX WEST VIRG1XIA. Republicans Clr.Im All the Member of Congress. WHEELING, W. Va.. Nov. 1. The cam paign which closed tonight was remark ably dull in Wrr.t Virginia. Republicans claim all members of Congress, and con servative Democrats, concede the election of B. B. Dovcncr. In 'the First District, but declaro they have better than a fight ing chance in all others. Counties com posing two of the new districts gave slight Democratic majorities in 4SS8, but all the districts wero Republican in 1900. The apathy of voters will affect Republi can candidates more than their opponents. , IX ALABAMA. . Xo Doubt of Ove'rwhelmingr Majority for Democrats. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 1. The cam paign closed in Alabama, tonight. The elimination of the negro from the elec toral" vote haj caused a partial recasting of political lines, and an attempt has been made by the "Ltlywhlte" "Republicans to supply all the opposition to the Demo crats. There is no doubt' of an, over- whelming majority-for the Democrats. In one Congressional District, the Seventh, the race will be clo3e, with indications favoring the Democrats. IS MICHIGAS.

Most people think the success of Pe runa depends upon the use of advertise ments. Undoubtedly the advertisements help seme. But by far the greatest num ber of people who hear of Peruna, have their attention called to It by a friend. Some one gets cured of chronic catarrh by Peruna.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal lsthe safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier In nature," but few real ize its value when takert Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the moro you take of it the better; It is not a drug at all, but simply absorto the gases and Im purities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking, or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartlci It absorbs the injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; it dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists' sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; th,ey are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and: other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general nealth, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal,4 says: advise Stuart's Absorbcnt.Lozenges to all pa tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, 'and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; 1 also believe the" liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozcnge3 than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.' DS OF W0MBh&v DYING FRO neighbor. Peruna cures catarrh perma nently, and this way long friend. People who have been cured by Pe runa many yearo ago have been eager to recommend "Peruna to thoir friends ever since. This is the way Peru na Is advertised. It advertises itself. Its merits are its chief advertisement. Once cured of so distressing and exasperating a malady as catarrh, it becomes the Suty of every one to pass it along: to call the attention of those who are still victims, to a remedy that rarely falls to cure. Beware of Cheap Imitations of Pe-ru-na Be Sure That You Get Pe-ru-na. There are no substitutes for Peruna. Allow no one to persuade you that there Is something Just as good. The success of Peruna has tempted many people to devise cheap Imitations. Beware of them. Be sure that you get Peruna. Miss Jennie Driscoll, 870 Putnam ave nue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I heard so much in praise of Peruna will bo no opposition to the Democratic ticket in South Carolina. Oklahoma In Doubt. GUTHRIE. O. T.. Nov.' 1.

Odendahl, of the Odendahl Commis sion Company, Ltd., one of the largest grain-exporting firips In the United States, has issued the following commu nication to the grain trade: "We regret very much to have to advise you that our firm is forced into liquida tion and will not be able to pay its liabili ties. You will spare us the necessity of making further explanations, as they are painful. Our business has been very profitable and large, but the profits have been diverted Into other channels, not through any fault of the writer."

Tho Odendahl Commission Company has done a large grain exporting businces, and for years has been In the habit of bor rowing large sums from ten days tc a month on unindorsed notcs secured by bills of lading, warehouse receipts and blanket insurance policies. It Is alleged advantage had been taken of the high credit of the firm to borrow immense sums from banks on forged bills of ladinc and warehouse receipts, and that this has been the cause of the failure. j F. J. Odendahl, president of the com- j pany, was formerly president of the New Orleans Board of Trade, and Is one of the best known business men In the South. ; The company bought extensively in Ken- , sas Lity, fat. x,ouls, Chicago and other cities.
