Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.—The Republic
ans feel more hopeful tonight in regard to suc
cess In the Northern States than at any previous
day of the campaign. Private advices from all
quarters, from tbo Chairmen of the State and
County Commuted, and from speakers who
have been prominent In tho work of tho can
vass, agree In predicting a very marked Repub
lican triumph. A telegram from Boston gives
as the final result of tho reports received by tho
State Committee up to Saturday night of the
progress of the canvass which it has been
conducting a plurality of 90,000 for Talbot.
The lowest estimates received of the majority
over Butler place It at from 16,000 to 90,000.
A considerable development of Greenback
strength Is expected In New Hampshire. Out
side of that State great confidence U felt that
It will be found to possess
VERY LITTLB BTRXNOTH.
The Republicans look with confidence to at
least evenly dividing the Connecticut delega
tion. by carrying two districts, and regard
the probabilities for carrying three on very
good. There Is a strong belief that tho Rcoub-
Beans will control five of the eight districts lo
New Jersey. Pennsylvania la regarded aa cer
tainly Republican by a handsome majority; and
a gain of two Congressmen Is thought to be
certain. Tho same gain In Congressmen is ex
pected in New Tork Slate, and Republicans, os
well aa many Democrats, here to-night believe
that
OF
to New Tork City wl’lf Undefeated. Very Ilttlo
la hoped for from the South. It la possible that
Jorgensen trill be elected In Virginia and Con
orcr In Florida, and one district la thought to
he possible In Louisiana. Thu belief la that the
three South Carolina districts, now so largely
Republican, will go Democratic aa a reault of
the outrages which baVo characterized the en
tire campaign. The above are vlewa of the situ
ation pa entertained by itcoublicana who have
had to do throughout with the management of
the campaign.
Philadelphia, Nov’. 4.—Both parties profess
confluence as to the result of tq-morrow’s elec
tion, but mere Is really a good deal of anxiety
on both sides, with the cbum-cs In favor of the
Republicans as to the State ticket omi the Leg
islature. The Nationals will poll a bigger vote
than ever before, but their stock soils a good
deal lower than It did before tbo October
elections. It Is. expected there will be
a poll of about 700,000 votes, of which Phila
delphia will contribute about 180,000, and the
result will depend upon the size of the Repub
lican majority In ibis city. The Democrats con
cede a fair majority of about 0,000 here, and,
profess ability to overcome more by Democratic
gains In the Interior. Tbcro is much feeling
over tbo proposed rejection of
TAX BIOKIITB
In tbe bands of Democrats which Republicans
allege to have beeu forged, and some fear that
breaches of tbe peace will occur at tbo polls In
consequence of tbe support of tbe Republican
position by tbe United States Deputy Marshals.
Tbo accepted view aa to tbe Congressional dele
gation Is tbst it will exhibit no material change.
There are several districts fairly In
doubt, among which are Stenger’s, Er
rett's, Bhallenbcrger'a, Collins', and
Thompson's. The delegation U likely
to retnalu Republican, as it la sow. The Legis
lature made doubtful for Cameron only by
the Greenback diversion and tbe earnestness of
•Dtl-Camorun Republicans In mauy localities.
A Democratic Legislature isn't possible, but a
distinctively Republican Legislature may bo de
feated by tbo Natloaals bolding the balance of
l>owcr between tbe old parties, if so, Cameron
will bo defeated; 11 not, he will bo ro-ciacted.
Springfield, 111., Nov. 4.—The Bute Rouse
officials aod other prominent Republicans la
theclty feel confident of an old-fashioned vic
tory throughout the State to-morrow. (Ircat
Interest Is taken In the result In Chicago, and
the fact that tbs Board of Trade has adjourned
is regarded as very encouraging, presaging a
Republican victory In Cook County. Tub
Tribune correspondent to-night received tho
following, addressed to him as inch correspond

Ukndota, 111., Nor. I—A Anal rally was
made here this evening In tbe Interest of the
Republican cause. Without exception It was
tbe most largely attended meeting during the
campaign. Tbe Uou. L. B. Crootter Introduced

applause be met with is a criterion to Judge by,

MADISON. >|
Special Dispatch to lit Tribune.
Madison, Wit., Nov. 4.-*-Thc vote in tbo
county will doubtless be very large. The split
ting in the city and principal Tillages will be
probably unparalleled. Everything on both
sides will be sacrifleed r tb IhoLoglslatlve and
Congressional candidates! * The feeling Is strong
here to-night at Republican headquarters that
Caswell will bo elected la Congress, but by a
small majority. There is no doubt of tbo re
turn of liurrows, Republican, to the Senate, and
the election of Ilutcblnipp to tbc Assembly.
The Republican County Committee have made
a vigorous canvass, and feel very confident of
the election of its entire county ticket, notwith
standing Dane (s ordinarily 800 to 000 Demo
cratic.
TUB DISTRICT*.
' Dispatches to-night Iron; careful sources In
the Seventh and Eighth Congressional Districts
predict that Humphrey'.gdd' Found will get
revising majorities. Th<o>; election of tbo St.
Croix County ticket Is confidently expected.
Stata-Treasurcr Guenther- - and Asslstaut-
Trcrsurer McCurdy, both of Oshkosh and care
ful figures#, arc fresh /rom ihe'catnpalgn in the
Sixth District, and are unite sanguine of Jones.
It Is ‘believed hero by the Republican leaders
that Charley Williams will Carry the First Di s
trict by 4,000. Indications received at head
quarters give very little doubt .of Hazeltou Id
the Tljlni. Opinion Is dltlded here among Re
publicans as to the Fourth District, but somewho
have a reputation for kcco'haldulatlon political
ly ore predicting a sllghf Republican victory,
Judging by the liveliness; of the campaign in
Milwaukee, the perfect ucdtyof the Republican
elements, - and the discordances among tbo
Democrat*! ami other oppositionists. As to the
Fl/th DUtrfct, notwithstanding Bragg's recent
demoralization, hi* succOsaXs reasonably certain
over Smith, Republican. -Gen. Atwood, of tbc
State Journal, feels fairly confident that the
Legislature wQI stand: Senate, Republicans,
20; opposition, 13; Ajpcmbiy, Republicans, 55;
Democrats, 45; majority on Joint ballot, 17.
Hut this calculation Is-based on reports not
thoroughly vouched lor oa- to that very uncer
tain clement, Urecnlmcklsm.'
KENOSHA.
Kotoial Dtepuieh to The Tribune.
Kenosha, Wla., Nov. 4.—J. V. Quarles, £bq„
Republican nominee for Assemblyman, this
evening addressed a very enthusiastic crowd at
Klmholl Hall. There weru quite a Dumber of
ladles, representing the elite of the dtr, pres
ent. All those who had the good fortune to
hear this staunch upholder of Republican dqc
trines declare it os thu beat cllort of the fsli
campaign. tits speech was an able anpoumo
meut uf bis ideas of what would be for the
country's good, and wound nip thu work la this
acettou with a whirl.
OSHKOSH.
Sptetol Dinntrh to The Tribune,
Oshkosh, Wls., Nov. 4.—The contest to-mor
row in this city and county will bo tbe must bot-
Iv contested since the War. The entire county
ticket la to bo elected, and three sets of candi
dates for each position make it lively. There is
a good prospect now for the election of Jones
over Uouck for Congress. There was a rumor
to-day tbat Steele, Greenback, had withdrawn,
but It proved untrue.
TUB OUTLOOK FROM MILWAUKEE.
Special iMrpatch to Tbe Tribune.
Milwaukee, Nov. 4.—The most excited
political campaign witnessed In Milwaukee In
uiauy years la drawing to a close, and all con
jecture# os to the result are liable to be entirely
wide. Such experienced Republicans and .excel
lent Judges ot local politics ns Guv. Ludlngton,
Ed SsoderaoQ. Sberlll Sanger, Postmaster
Payne, David Vance, and Marshal Pink, ex
press uodoublloc confidence in the success of
the entire Republican county ticket, and thev
think that seven out of the eleven members of
tbe Assembly, and at least one ot the Senators
will be elected by The Republicans, it
Is conceded that Hart, Republican, will beat £.
Jlarrisou Cawkcr. Democrat, for Assemblyman,
In the north outoklo district, which will be a
Republican golu. Tom O'Neil's independent
candidacy for tbe Assembly la the south out
sldu district complicates matters. Ho was for
merly a Republican, and all-powerful in the dis
trict, but his connection with the whisky crook
edness may have Impaired Ills popularity. The
religious question la being largely raised In the
city, and toe position of the various Legislative
candidates ou church taxation are being closely
canvassed. Like a great many other edged
tools, this la a dangerous question to handle,
and it is likely to hurt both wavs.

ONLY SEVEN TICKETS!
ftpt&n! JMtpatek to Tht Tribune.
Br. Loom, Mo., Xov. 4.—Politics arc In order
in Bt. Louis to-night, and the streets arc ablaze
with torchlight processions, while the voice of
the curbstone orator Is beard on every corner.
The election to take place on tbo morrow Is the
only topic of conversation, and bets and sur*
mites as to tbo probable result are as thick as
the politicians. Never before has there been an
election held here whefesomanycandldatcsand
tickets appeared Jn the field. The three princi
pal partlca are, of course, Greenbacks, Re
publicans, and Democrats, bnt each of these are
allied mom or less with smaller parties, and
some candidates appear on as many os four
tickets. The Socialists have printed a separate
ticket, haring au occasional candidate on the
Workingmen’s ami tbo Greenbackers’ tickets,
and they delude themselves with thj forlorn
hepo of carrying the city.
TUB FOLLOWiftO TICKETS
ham appeared: Republican, Democratic, Grecn
back, Socialist, Workingmen’*, Moral and He*
form (or Temperance), and a regular Prohibi
tionist ticket. The names of the Moral and
Reform party ore chosen from the candidates of
the three principal parties. Both this and the
Prohibitionist party crew out of the different
Temperance Associations of the city. The
Moral and Reform party claims to hold
the balance of Dower, and sar they will poll
10,000 rote*. The Prohibitionists hare cbo«cn
their candidates without connection with other
parties, but their candidates will have little
chance In the election.
JjOUISIANA.
IT WILL GO “ DEMOCRATIC.”
Saedat Ditpate A to The Tribune.
New Orleans, La.. Nor. 1.-1 see little rea
son for chautring the pollthal estimates of yes
terday's dlsoatch. The reported withdrawal of
Ludeling, the Republican Congressional candi
date In the Fifth District, Is both affirmed and
denied. True or false, the election of King,
Democrat, seems none the less assured, in the
Third (Acklca's) District the friends of Hebert,
both the National and Republican nominee,
claim a somewhat better showing, claiming the
ability to practically dispose of Merchant, Re
publican candidate, aud create a division of the
French Creole rote, otherwise presumably Dem
ocratic, In Hebert's favor, and hla consequent
election. The friends of Acklcn, per contra, are
equally confident. In New Orleans matters arc
becoming still more mdndlcd. The Nationals
teem frittering awar. and the Citizens' Conven
tion ticket looming up. Republican leaders arc
now laboring to draw their vote that way, and
claim from half to two-thlris of the Republican
voters for the Citizens' ticket.
TUB COLORED ELEMENT
meanwhile shows Itself very materially reduced.
Originally registering something like 11,000, It
has been summarily cut down by the powers
that be to a little better than 6,000, as claimed
by frauds of this character. Again, os claimed,
tullyS.OOJ registration papers have been Umuht
up. and are oot in the original owners' hands,
but ore to bo made to count, none the less, by
the powers in control. ThU reduces the
prospective colored vote, allowing for an evi
dent want of Interest, to a tittle more than
5,000, which will bo more or less divided. The
Citizens'leaders show themselves resdv and
determined, and boldly announce that they will
not allow themselves to be counted out. Tbo
prospects arc uono tbo less still favorable far
tbo Democrats, though -the election, fairly con
sidered and even peaceably conducted,—and
there ore prospects of trouble,—must nuk as a
force.

THE MASSACRE.
AN ACCOUNT AT LAST.
Soectat PltfxUck to The Tribune.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.—A private letter
from a gentleman well Uuown by persona lu
Washington, and deemed entirely trustworthy,
gives the fallowing account of tbe late massacre
atTcnrasand adjoining parishes In Louisiana:
“The troubles iu Tensas and Concordia Parish
es, Louisiana, are about settled, so far os the
killing of negroes Is concerned. But the whites
over there are Indulging in crimination and re
crimination likely to result In tbclr killing some
of themselves. They are scrambling for oflice
now among themselves, none regretting the
killing of the negroes. It was a terrible
slaughter of negroes. The Natchcs Democrat
and other' papers try to smooth It over, hut
there Is
NO USB TRYING TO HIDB IT.
Tbey killed tblrty*six in one charge, with cannon
cblclly, and I beard tbe report of caution during
two days. I know (heard at Ibis distance tlf
teen reporta, aud for four days aud nights tbey
were riding tbe country over, banging aud
shooting. You could see negroes baqgiug on
the roausldes all over Teoaaa aud a part of Coo*
cordla. I saw parllea that bad seen several.
When tbe whole truth Is told, 200 at least were
killed. Every cllurt Is being made to keep
down the truth, for fesr that it will Injure tbe
Democracy in tbe November elections In the
North." . • *

RETROSPECTIVE.
Special DitpatcH to Tie Tribune,
T iCKSDcnu, Miss., Nov. 4.—Since mf arrival
here, three days ago, from Jackson, from wofeh
paint I last corresponded, my time has been
entirely taken up In gathering statistics aod In
cidents relative to the causes and results uf tho
scourge which has so alarmingly prevailed hero
during the last three months. The census re
turns are completed to-day, from which, to
gether with the report of deaths taken
from the City Sexton’s record, I am pre
pared to giro figures beyond dispute. The
entire census report, with many of the Incidents
named, I will furnish in my correspondence bv
mall.
TUX TOTAL XDMDER
of fever cases to date Is 5,001; total number of
deaths to dale. 1,021. The pestilence baa
nearly finished Its dreadful death harvest
In the city proper. There liavo been
scleral severe frosts, which hare doubtless
checKcd tbe fever Id the adjacent country, where
it baa been prevailing (n a most malignant
form. I was gratified to see more evidences of
a revival of business at this point than at any of
the other Infected town* and dtles which I bavo
lately visited.
TUX STREETS OP TDK CJTT,
which for three dreadful months were deserted,
save the hurrying to and fro of physicians and •
nurses on their errands of mercy and tbe sol- .
emo burial processions of the victims of tbo
plague, are beginning to present an enlivened
appearance. Quarantines against tbe city at
various points have been raised, and rail
way and steamboat communication Is about •
to be opened. While I am not pro- •
pared to enter Into any scientific
discussion as to tbe origin and rapid spread of
the fever here, vet I am satisfied, from careful
observation, alter an extended tour In that part *
of the city where the fever originated and ex- f
tended,that
TUX SIMPLE COXDITIOX
under which Its deadly germ disseminates itself
Is the action at tropical heat upon
tbe accumulated filth and refuse of the
dty. From what 1 can learn, the city authori
ties have dune little or nothing fur the past two
yeara tuwanft keeping ttic dty In a proper clean
ly condition. Dunns the past season tba'cltjr
has been absolutely recking in dlib. A.irfmi to
this, what is known as the ‘*cut-off n left a
stagnant lake fronting the dty for nearly two
miles.
CHICAGO
has ooured out her charities upon this city with
a lavish hand, and the people of all classes and
races appreciate what she has done. While In
Chicago, aomu two weeks ago, recu Derating
strength after ray fever illness at HallySpringa,
1 was (requemly # luterro2uled as to the moda of
treatment of the fever, and which of tho »ev~
era! schools of nicdSduu were most successful.
Nut having given the subject any statistical In*
veatlgatlon, 1 was unable to venture an opinion.
Several physicians of this city very kindly fur
nish me with the following statistics, which I
give to tho readers of Tub Tuiuunb without
comment: Of thu O,IMI coses In this city. t.OOU
were under homeopathic treatment, leaving
4.WU treated by nllopathy and other systems.
TUB WUOUJ MJUBEIt OI» DEATHS
was I,U2L Tho deaths under liomuopstolo
treatment were dO, thus leaving 014 uoaer the
other modes of treatment.
Of the many Instances of women's heroic de
votion to the snUorlng victims of the plague I
am constrained to remember the wife of cx
United States Senator 11. S. Pease, the present
postmaster of this city. The Senator ami two
of hts children were stricken down among ths
Aral victims of the scourge. She nursed her
husband and children during thelrtiekness, and
at tho same time managed the Post-Ofllcc, tho
clerical force of which had been reduced by sick
ness and death to duo bravo young lady clerk,
a Mias Augusta banner. As soon as her
husband and ehUdrcu were convalescent, she
ministered to the wants of her destitute sick
and dying neighbors, going from house to house
at ail hours of day ami sight, with her trait la
God and a case of homeopathic medicines. She
treated between fifty and seventy cases of fever
among the destitute colored people, not losing
a single patient. For live weeks

spirit succumbed to the noisome pestilence. A
