BRIGGSITE CONVENTION.
Liberal Presbyterian .Minuter» to Meet In
Secret Conference.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 7i — About 50 of the
most prominent liberal ministers of the
Presbyterian church in the large cities will
meet in Cleveland on Wednesday to decide
upon a policy for the future. Every effort
has been made to keep the matter secret,
though the result would be made known
lit all events. Some of the most promi
nent Briggs men in the country will be
present. The circular which called the
meetiug says:
"The present condition of the Presbyte
rian church occasions deep solicitude and
culls for immediate and serious considera
tion. Many ministers and elders view
with apprehension the tendency to assump
tion and centralization of power, and the
disposition both to impose practically new
dogmas without due constitutional process
and to treat the formal action and over
tures of presbyteries with small respect.
"They fear lest reasonable tolerance and
the liberty of opinion hitherto enjoyed un
der the standards shall he abridged and not
a few devoted office bearers crowded out of
good ecclesiastical standing, or even out of
the church.
"In this state of affairs it will not answer
for loyal Presbyterians to be inactive or in
definite. We cannot afford to lie silent un
der implied suggestions of heterodoxy, nor
8cem acquiesce passively in arbitrary
assumptions, rigid exclusiveness and un
constitutional procedure. Ws must not
suffer worthy brethern to be forced need
lessly to leave the church. A frank con
ference of wise and representative men,
who shall consider what action is needed
at this present jqncture to maintain our
I constitutional safeguards, encourage out

At last the Republican aldermen, fol

marched in a column of twos to the council

TRENTON, Nov. 7.—The Indications this
morning are favorable to a large vote.
Uaee track legislation and in Newark a
fight against "the ring" give promise of
bringing to the pulls flocks of voters ns
large as the flocks of mosquitoes for which
this state is famous. In Newark, as in the
cities of Brooklyn and Buffalo, in Jersey's
adjoining state, there is a hand to hand en
counter with "the ring." Lines are di-awn
sharply, and the question of racing or no
racing is dwarfed into insignificance by a
home rule movement.
Over in Hudson county, it is said, the
gamblers have decided to sacrifice the
Democratic assembly candidates of the
Seventh and Eighth districts for a shrieval
ty candidate, and the same plan will he
operated in other districts where it is
thought the Republicans have a chance of
electing assembly candidates.
In this county, with politics as the only
issue, 10 of the 11 districts could be counted
on to return Democrats. The Democratic
leaders in Union county also feel confident
of victory, as do the Democrats of Mon
mouth county.
There is very little betting on the result,
and what there is is almost entirely of a lo
cal character.
Both Side. Confident In Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov. 7.—There are only two
opinions upon the result of today's elec
tion in Massachusetts, but a great many
thinking men are far from being certain
which is the right one. The strictly inde
pendent and unprejudiced opinion is hard
to find, but a careful canvass among the
politicians discloses that the scale is appar
ently tipping toward Republican success.
Tlie main fight is over t lie election of a
governor, and as the candidates—John E.
Russell, Democrat, and Frederick T.Grcen
balgc. Republican—are about equally popu
lar, the tight is largely on party lines.
Democrats who have iu former years so
confidently claimed victory are not now so
enthusiastic, but they have been working
as never before.
Boston has been the field upon which the
party has pinned its hope, and by its vote
today they will stand or fall. The Repub
licans awakened to this fact some days
ago, and that they realize this is to he the
battleground royal was demons! rated when
the state committee announced a reward
of $100 for the detection of any case of ille
gal voting. At both the parly headquar
ters this morning the opinion of complete
ami assured success is given out liy tlie
leaders.
Little Interest lu Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia. Nov. 7.— Pennsylvania
has never known an election, cither stats
or national, iu which so little interest box
been taken by the public. Tho fact that
there are absolutely no bets, save possibly
a hat here or there, to be decided by the
result, indicates just how little the people
care who is elected.
As far as the state is concerned, the only
question to he decided is how large the
majority for the Republican state ticket
will he, The Democrats concede that il
will he 50,000, sanguine Republicans claim
100,000, aud conservative Republicans are
confident that their majority will reach at
least 75,000.
If the claims of the Democrats are sub
stantiated, the result will be a Republican
loss, while if those of the sanguine Repub
licans prove true the Republicans will
gain. A majority of 75,000 for the Repub
lican ticket w ill be about a standoff. There
are a few- counties in which the Democrats
have some show of electing their judicial
candidates, and factional fights in other
counties, notably Allegehany, may cause
some surprise. Upon the whole, however,
there seems hut little upon which to pre
dict anything._
The Fight In Ohio.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 7.—The morning of the
state elections finds the Republicans as
confident as ever of an overwhelming plu
rality for Governor McKinley. Among
the grounds of their belief in the success
of McKinley are the unusually large and
enthusiastic meetings he has held, the di
vision among the Democrats in congress on
the silver question, the effect of unem
I ployed workmen and of half time work in
I ao many manufactories and the intense
feeling aroused by the suspension of sol
diers' pensions.
There is still a disposition to claim the
state by not less than 25,000. On the other
band, the Democrats expect to carry this
county and Cuyahoga for the legislature.
TOLEDO, Nov. 7.—The vote in this city
will be unusually heavy today. The regis
tration is but 200 behind that of last year
aud over 2,000 ahead of that of 1801—the
previous gubernatorial campaign year.
McKinley's plurality in tho slate is vari
ously estimated from 20,000 to 35,000.
A Hot Fight In Buffalo.
Buffalo, Nov. 7.—Judge Hatch of the
superior court has issued an order striking
from the registry lists a large number of
additional names of colonized voters iu tlie
First ward. The board of inspectorsin the
Fourth district of the First ward was ar
rested and brought before Judge Hatch
for contempt of court in refusing to obey
an order of the court.
Acting for the Republican general com
mittee, Attorney M. W. Norton visited a
police court and made application for 110
warrants for illegally registered persons.
The bulk of them are for colonizers regis
tered from lodging houses in the First
ward. Sixty-eight residents of the First
ward threw themselves upon the protection
of Mayor Bishop, who is a Cleveland Dem
I ocrai, asking him to protect them in their
right to vote.

New YORK, Nov. 7.—The Woman Suf

the attention of all registered women and
election officers to the opinion given re
cently by Supreme Court Judge Joseph F.
Bernard at Poughkeepsie, which soys "that
women who are on the regist ry lists are

facts at once to the committee's chairman,

WILL WED AN EARL.
Adele tirant, the Famous American Heavi
ly, to Marry In Lundi
London, Nov. 7.— Miss Adele Grant, the
fnmous American beauty anil daughter of
the late Heach tirant of New York, has an
nounced to the im-mlx-rs of her family her
engagement to the Karl of Essex, adding
that the marriage will la* celebrated at She
earliest day possible after the necessary
legal papers can lie drawn, certainly before
Christmas.
The Karl of Kssex is a widower 36 years
old. He succeeded to the title only in Sep
tcnilier of last year on the death of his
grandfather, the sixth earl. He married
on July 12. 1882, the daughter of a com
moner in (iloucestenthire, but who died
three years afterward, leaving one child, a
sou, then not quite 2 years old, who is still
living, and if he survives his father will of
course succeed to the title.
A cablegram was sent to Buy dam tirant
yesterday announcing the engagement and
asking him to come over and act in loco
parentis. If he he cannot come, the bride's
iirst cousin, James 1*. Scott, sou of the late
Thomas H. Scott, who is now in l.ondon,
will give her away.
The engagement, when formally an
nounced, will create a great sensation in
London society, where Miss tirant is not
only well known for lier beauty, but is a
favorite guest at the notable bouses in
London and the country for her unusual
intelligence and conversational faculty.

Washington, Nov. 7.—Tlie result of the
flections throughout the country today are
awaited with great interest by the public
men in this city, who see iu them an indi
cation of the result of the popular elections
of 1894. The American public is fully
aware of the significance of the result iu
tile great states of New York, Ohio, Iowa,
Massachusetts and Virginia. President
Cleveland hopes for Democratic success of
course. The politicians are looking upon
the election, not so much as to its living an
Indorsement (A* commendation of the Dem
ocratic administration, hut more as a cri
terion ns to whether there is very much dis
satisfaction witli the administration, it
does not menu that tlie election depends
upon it, hut it is a straw to show which
way ihe political wind is blowing.
When four years ago the elections were
held, it will he rememliered that it was a
tremendous setback for the Republican
party. Campbell defeated Forakerin Ohio,
and from the prairies of Iowa came a pro
test against Republican rule in the victory
for Horace Boies, who is now a candidate
for tlie third time. These defeats were at
tributed at that time by the Republicans
to local causes, hut yet it was acknowl
edged they betrayed the dissatisfaction the
people felt with the ad in in ist rat ion I hey
had elected only a year previous.

has been taken on one of the greatestques- I
tions that has lieen presented to the people I

Although the legislation prised is of
much importance, it is in no sense partisan I
législation. Both parties participated in
it. Besides, it comes too late to have any
marked effect ujion the elections of this
year.
It was thought that the suspension of
silver purchases might give an impetus to
the I'upulist campaign in Virginia, buteveu
there it is now conceded that tlie Demo
crats will lie successful with the prospect
la-fore them today. The friends of tlie ad

which the political future can be based.
There has not Ixh-ii any legislation of a
partisan character which ha« Ik-kuuc law.
The repeal of the federal election laws
