Mr. McNeill spoke only a short while, tout, his few remarks electrified his hearers, and every one went away with th determination to bend every effort towards the success of the re publican ticket by the largest ma jority ever known in the history of the county.

The political sentiment in old Wilkes was plainly demonstrated today by the enormous throng- of citizens from the two towns and surrounding coun try which gathered at the station and speaking grounds to welcome Senator Pritchard, Congressman Blackburn and iS'olicitor McNeill. A reception committee composed of business men, headed by Messrs. 'Jarvis and Combs, two former democrats, met Senator Pritchard and escorted him to a car riage and thence to the speaking grounds. The Wilkesboro brass band furnished music for the occasion, while the patriotic followers and sup porters of- republican principles fur nished enthusiasm, and they greeted the speakers with great applause. Many hard and far reaching cam paigns have been waged in the Old county of Wilkes, but never before has the eve of an election found her in better shaps and better condition for a sweeping1 and overwhelming repub lican victory. Senator vPritchard spoke aibout 40 minutes, and held the entire attention of the audience, makmg "a strong and lasting impression upon the . people, and tomorrow they will show their love for him by sending representa tives to the next general assembly to cast votes for his return to the United States senae. Mr. Blackburn followed in a short but strong argument, advocating con tinued prosperity. He was cheered for a patriotic reference to our boys fight ing and giving their lives for the honor ALAMANCE REPUBLICANS HOLD A BIG MEETING Special to the Gazette. Burlington, N. C, Nov. 3.

Republicans in this state maintain their claim that all their congressional candidates will be elected with the possible exception of the second district, where they concede the democrats have a chance of electing theircandidates. Democrat leaders ex press absolute confidence in the election of two of their candidates and are hopeful as to a third. Conservative non-partisan estimates are that four re publicans and two democrats will be elected Special to the Gazette. Salisbury, N. C, Nov. 3. At the clos ing of the campaign in this county we find Hon. Charles Price at Woodside to day to meet the democratic fiasco of last Saturday, Mr. J. L. Randleman at Chestnut Hill and Hon. A. H. Price at Concord, all doing good service. In our town we have the democrats soared to death and taking, their (laugh before they get the bulls nose to the ground.

Big variety to se- lect from. iLj y is v 3 r s i w Steel Ranges." Hazelton, Pa., Nov. 3. The anthra cite coal strike commission arrived in the Lehigh valley region from Scran ton today. The commission spent the night and ate breakfast on their special train. The party was met at Pond Creek, about twelve miles north of here, by District President Duffey, of the United Mine Workers, who will represent the miners while the commis sion is in this region. The operators are represented by General Superin tendent Warringer, of the Lehigh Val ley Coal company, and General Super intendent Richards, of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal company. The pro gram for today was an extensive one and was made up so as to cover the entire Hazelton region. The greater part of the territory was viewed from the special train. Upper Lehigh, Sandy Run, Highland, Freer land, Drifton and Jeddo, the latter place the home of John Markle, the individual operator, were visited and the train was then run to Ebervale. Lattimer, MilnesviHe and into Hazelton. A visit to one of the mines took up the time until noon. This afternoon the south side twill be gone over by the commissdon and it is probable tomor row will find the arbitrators in the Panther Creek valley. Recorder 1 Wright ' announced that President Mitchell, of the miners' union, filed last night at Scran-ton the statement of the miners' case. The stenographers made copies of it on the train today and one copy was maJiled from Hazelton to each company. The operators wfll make a reply in three or four days. Mr. Mitchell's statement probably will be made pufilic by the commission tomorrow. The statement practically reiterates the demands made at the Shamokin convention and does not favor the sliding scale, advocated by President Baer, of the' Reading company. The commissioners' train arrived at PonL Creek at sunrise and was placed on a siding, where President Duffy and Peter Gallagher, national !board mem ber for this district of the United Mine Workers, were awaited. They arrived Oyster Bay, Nov. 3. The president arrived home tonight. His townspeo pie gave him a rousing reception, ac companied with plenty of noise and fire When the .president stepped off the train he was surrounded bv a number detectives but he pushed them aside and drove into the crowd shaking hands with all within reach. The president will vote early tomorrow. AS TO RESULT OF ELECTION IS FELT BY ALL REPUB LICANS. ,l Good Majorities Claimed for All Candidates in Whom There is Local Interest.

T the polls open at sunrise TODAY AND CLOSE AT STTNTSTCT THE SUN RISES TODAY AT 6:29 O'CLOCK AND SETS AT 4:58. New York, Nov. 3. The last day be fore election finds the leaders of both the democratic and republican parties still expressing confidence of victory in the Empire state. Predictions vary from 10,000 to 50,000 on each side though the estimates of the two state chairmen, Frank Campbell, for the democrats and Col. Dunn for the, re publicans, are almost the same, the iormer claiming io.ooo or coler and the latter 37,000 for Odell. Both of these men assert that their predictions. are based on a most thorough exami nation of the situation throughout the state and are very conservative. Word camef rom Governor Odell at Newburg today, where he will remain to vote and receive the returns, that he still estimated his majority at 40, 000. Mr. Coler told his mangers to day that Chairman Campbell's figures were far too modest. For the Greater New York, Charles F.. Murphy, leader of Tammany haTi, reiterated today his belief that Coler will have 112,000 plurality. Democratic leaders expect 30,000 of this to be fur nished by Kings county, 1,000 by Rich mond, 3,000 by Queens and 78,000 by New York county." The republicans' estimates cut the democratic plurality in Kings to 14,000, reducing the dem ocratic plurality below the Bronx to 62,000 to 65,000. WHITLOCH'S W. A. Boyce 41 Patton Avenue.

After break fast the commissioners strolled about the vicinity, while Superintendent War mer and Richards tried to come to an agreement on which mine to visit. The miners wanted to go down the Harwood colliery of the C. Pardee company, and the superintendents insisted on going to the No. 40 shaft of the Lehigh Valley company. Mr. Duffy claimed the Har wood mine was a typical operation of the Lehigh valley region. All but No. 40 shaft of the twenty-five mines in the Hazelton territory, he said, are entered by means of slopes, and as the cars had not yet gone into a mine( by the way of a slope, he thought they should ac cept his suggestion. The . superintendents made the point that the -Harwood colliery was not a typical anfine and that it was nearly worked out. A compromise was finally agreed upon and the Audry colliery of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre company owned by the Central railroad of New Jersey, was selected. This mine is en tered through a slope and is on the south side of Hazelton. After the agreement had been reach ed, A. C. Leisenring, general superin tendent of the Upper Lehigh Coal Co., Invited the commissioners to take a drive through upper Lehigh. The in vitation was accepted and nearly an hour was spent in the vicinity. While in the town the commissioners were taken into the home of a miner, the first miner's house they had' inspected. They were taken through all the rooms. Drifton was the next stop. At that place-the commissioners met Captain Smith, of Coxe Bros. & com pany, an individual concern. The men at their mines are still on strike. The comipanv insists on the men returning as individuals, (but the miners nave decided not to go to work unless they can go in a body. There is no prospect that the deadlock will soon be broken. A crowd of strikers gathered around the commissioners and the superintend- ( Continued on 4th page.) MR. GIBSON HAS A FIGHTING CHANGE Dr. Battle stated last evening Uiat his patient, J. M. Gibson of Cincinnati, who was married to Miss Wolf of Prov idence, at the Battery Park Saturday night, and who was thought to be in a dying condition, was much better, and had a fighting chance for Recovery. Mr. Gibson's fiancee, together with her sister, came here in response to a telegram, and at first there was no thought of a marriage. The groom sat us in bed while the ceremony was erformed. Soon after the ceremony Mr. Gibson's condition grew more favorable. The ceremony was performed by Jus tice James, and only Mr. Gibson's law ver. R. M. Wells, and two or three others, were present. Mr. Gibson is a wealthy ana proml nent citizen of Cincinnati. Yesterday was the last d of the campaign. Locally, the day closed with a confident feeling that Moody will be elected to congress by a large majority, the entire county and legis lative ticket by a large majority and Mark W. , Brown for solicitor by ' a large majority. Citizens headquarters was a busy place, and the closing of the day' found everybody jubilant there. News from every source tended to create and in crease confidence. Practically all the information received was of a nature to inspire hope. The certainty of Mark Brown's election was not abat ed by the fractic effort that were made during the day by the opposition. It was found that hundreds of votes that had been, conceded ta-Gudger la the various counties would eo to Moody. A ' good majority is now claimed in Haywood and Rutherford counties, while Buncombe is practi cally conceded for Moody. Equal con fidence is felt as to the county and legislative tickets. Early in the day the fallowing figures as to Moody e majorities were given out by Chairman Moore of the con gressional committee, but later advices tended to increase nearly all the esti mates: Buncombe, 250; Cherokee, 250; Gra ham, 100; Clay, 40; Macon, 150; Jack son, 50; Swain, 250; Transylvania, 100; (Continued on fifth page.)
