ELECTION PROSPECTS.
Taggart Makes No Forecasts, But Re
publican Managers Do.
New York, Oct. IT. "I could
not be better satisfied with the
prospects for Judge Parker's elec
tion," siid Chairman Taggart at
Democratic national headquarters
today. When asked if he could
give any Bgures or namo the
States which ho depended upon 'to
elect his candidate be said:
I have never in all my life
given out figures before election.
I do not believe it is good policy.
The national committee will doubt
less discuss the advisability of such
a course this campaign, but it is
quite doubtful if we shall make
public any estimates.
"If we do give out any they will
be Mr. Talari's own figures and
no bluster."
If a local Republican a man
well knosvn and occupying a posi
tion of resposibility here--is not
attempting to exact tribute from
the distilleries and saloon keepers
in Salisbury it is because the word
exaction is too mild to fit the case.
This statement is made advisedly
and with full knowledge of all the
circumstancea attending a canvass
for funds for the Republican party
which has been conducted here for
several days.
For a month or more it has
been an open boast in Salisbury
that the Hon. E. Spencer Black
burn, the Republican nominee for
congress, would have all the mo
ney needed to defeat his Demo
cratic opponent, W. C. Newland.
But little if any of the pile has
been received in Salisbury and this
week the party referred to resort
ed to heroic methods. A list con
taining the names of eevery whole
sale and retail dealer of whiskey
who could be approached with
safety, was made cut. The first
party approached was a Republi
can. The solicitor for funds states
thai one party made a subscrip
tion of $500. No amounts were
put down, however, as it was the
purpose of the manager of this

The manner in which the vic
