Siegert At all drugyt OFFERS TO BET A MILLIO: E. R. Chapman of Moore & Schley jacks McKinley. From the New York Times of Today When E. R. Chapman of Moor’ & Schley learned through Senator Briee yesterday some facts about the political situation in the middle western states, he said he would Bet’ $500,000, or any part of it, that the democrats would not carry a state east of the Mississippf river or north of the Ohio. Mr. Chapman has also a similar amount to bet that McKinley wiil carry Kentucky. ‘The report.communicated to Mr, Chap- man was made by one of the leading offi- cials of the United States Senate, whose ability for accurately sizing up political sentiment is valued by not only the demo- cratic but the republican members of the Senate. He lives in the middle west, and is thcroughly familiar with the politics of that section. He was ccmmisstoned by Sen- ator Gorman and other popocratic Senators to make this investigati He returned yesterday from a inquiry. “In my opinion, ‘Cook coun: which is really Chicago, would give Me Kinley 100,000 votes if the election was held teday. 1 hope for Bryan's election as much as any one can, and I don’t believe I could overesiimate the strength of the enemy, but at the same time it is rank folly to deceive one’s self. “I have gone about this work in as me- thodical and thorough a manner as it 1s pos- sible for one man, and hope as much as | may, I can see no. prospect of carrying Illinois, and without that state Bryan can- not be elected. Stronger in Ohio Than in Mlinois. “Really, I believe that if anything, Bryan is stronger in Ohio than in Hrmols.* ‘The real battle ground is in Chicago. Accord- ing to the most favorable canvass for Bry- an in Illinois, made by the democratic state committee, Bryan will have 30,0v0 plurality outside of Cook county. Not even the most nguine of the Bryan managers believes that he can more than break even in Chi- cago, should he have the benefit of a politi- cal cyclone. His only hope is that the re- publican majority in Cook county will be small. It is generally admitted that Altgeld is from 10,000 to 25,000 votes stronger in Chicago than Bryan. I met a number who are for McKinley, but who will vote for Altgeld.” “In what way did you conduct your in- vestigation in Chicago?” Well, I learned what both sides are do- ing through their organizations. A more perfect political machine was never con- structed than the one the republicans have. Where they used to make one house-to- house canvass, they are now making twen- ty. Our people have no money to speak of, and cannot carry out such thorough work, or anything approaching that of our oppo- nents. “I also talked to all classes of people, particularly those who work hard for their living. As is well known, there is a local pride in Chicago that is not equaled any- where else. The city has experienced very hard lines since the world’s fair, while her hated rival, St. Louis, has been compara- tively prosperous. Unlike St. Louts, Chica- go has been built up by eastern capital. The Chicagoans think that if McKinley is elected eastern capital will again flow in upon them ‘as of yore, and that there will be another boom, while if Bryan is elected that capital, would certainly remain at home. The average‘Chicago man 3s for his city first and the rest of the country after- ward. . . Probabilities in Indiana. “The chances in Indiana are much better for Bryan than in Illinois. There are no large cities in the fotmer state. Still, I be- lieve that the influen¢e of Iltnots will carry Indiana witht.

BUT SOME WEAK SPOTS ARE EVIDENT McKinley's State Chairman Claims 350,000 Majority. DEMOCRATS OUT OF FUNDS ———— Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., October 10, 1896. Congressional candidates have been placed in this state under fourteen party names, but there will not be any but dem- ocrats and republicans elected. There are only two districts in which there will be two candidates from the same party, and they are the sixth, where Congressman “Jack” Robinson of Delaware and ex-Judge Butler of Chester have decided to fight it out at the polls, failing to reach an agree- ment in conference, and the twentieth dis- trict, where Congressman Hicks of Blair claims the nominaticn, and is contested by F. J. Kooser of Somerset. This latter con- test is in the courts, and it may be settled to the mutual satisfaction of both candi- dates. In the first district the republicans have renomineted Gen. H. H. Bingham, and there can be no question of his re- election; and the same may be said of “Ber- tie’ Adams in the second district. Con- gressman Halterman ts not going to have as easy a time as he had two years ago. Naturally his district, the third Philadel- phia, 1s democratic. It was made by old Gen. Cameron for the late Samuel J. Ran- dall, and it comprises about everything that is democratic in Philadelphia, Halter- man slipped in two years ago, defeating Jos. P. McMullen,who had defeated William McAleer for the democratic nomination. They say that McAleer’s friends did the trick for McMullen, All democratic difter- ences in the district have been buried, how- ever, and McAleer, who has secured the nomination, stands a good chance of again occupying the seat of which he was de- prived through the vengeance of William F. Harrity. James Renkin Young will suc- ceed John FE. Reyburn in the fourth dis- trict, Reyburn havirg been turned down be- cause he would not desert his friends and turn ir for Quay in the big fight between Quay and Glikeson for the state chairman- ship. Other Districts. A. C. Harmer will succeed himself in the fifth district, his opponent, F. D. Wright, being a weak brother, with little following. In the sixth, or Chester-Delaware, district, where the fight is on between Robinson and Butler, a democrat {s likely to carry off the honors. The democrats have named W. H. Berry, and as he is very popular, there is every prospect of the district being represented by a democrat for the first time in its history. In the seventh district, I. P. Wanger again has the republican nomination, and the democrat pitted against him is ex-Senator Vandegrift. There is not much doubt of Wanger’s being re- turned. The eighth district is naturally democratic, and there was a hot fight be- tween Congressman Hart, who wanted a renomination, and L. H. Barker. Their conference split, and each recelved a mi- nority nomination, which made the chances of a republican very rosy. The republicans nominated ex-Judge Kirkpatrick, who made the running two years ago, and was de- feated by Hart, and Hart, seeing the danger, withdrew in favor of Barker. This made Hart's friends very angry, and they threaten to vote for Kirkpatrick, whose chances are excellent. Kirkpatrick was only defeated by a couple of hundred votes two years ago, and is very strong in this rock-ribbed democratic stronghold. Daniel Ermentrout is the democratic nominee in the Berks-Lehigh district, and he is not finding it so easy to get through as he did when Berks gave 10,000 democratic ma- jority and Lehigh close on to 5,000, Mr. Ermentrout has as his republican opponent Oliver Williams, a plain man of business, with business methods. Williams’ cam paign methods are unique. He goes to the mills cnd factories, and talks to them something like this: Clever Campaigning. “Fellow workingmen, I am a candidate for Congress, and I am here to ask for ycur votes. You have never been repre- sented in this district except by lawyers. Den’t you think it is time to let a business man, and an old workingman, have a chance, so that he can help the business meu and the workingmen? Think it 0 And before he leaves the place he gener ly manages to secure a number of pled. This style of campaigning is puzzling mentrout. He dare not attempt to cam- paign on the same lines, for he has held office almost all of his life since he had a vote, and has been notorious for his dema- goxism. Marriott Brosius will be returned by the republicans of Lancaster county, his opponent, E. D. Reilly, not having the ghost of a chance. In the eleventh district there is a hot fight on between Willlam Connell, republican, a wealthy Scranton man, and Edward Merrifield, a Scranton attorney. Connell fought “Joe” Scranton for years, and it 1s said that Mr. Scran- ton’s friends will see that Connell will get the gaff at the proper time. Morgan B. Williams, an ex-senator, 1s the nominee of the Luzerne republicans to succeed Mr. Leisenring, who has gubernatorial aspir. tions, and is being groomed for the gov- ernor’s chair by the coal region crowd. Williams fs a Welshman, and it is said to be a matter of record that no Welshman was ever defeated for office in the coal regions. But he will have to hustle this year. His opponent is John M. Garman, the democratic state chairman, a Wilkes- barre attorney, who knows every man, woman and child in the county, and can call more men by their first names than any other man in the country. Garman is what you call a “mixer,” and the best glad hand extended for miles around. He has camped on Mr. Williams’ trail, and says his scalp will dangle at his belt sure. The Schuylkill District. In the Schuylkill district Mr. Brumm will be extremely lucky to save his baeon. He 1g suspected of having silver tendencies, and that is what some of his party do not like. Then, too, Brumm has the county committee against him because of his ag- gressiveness in the past. W. T. Shepherd 1s his democratic opponent, and is making an aggressive campaign.M. E. Olmstead, a Harrisburg attorney, will succeed Congress- man Woomer from this district. He is a very popular candidate, socially away up in the scale, and the most brilliant cor- poration attorney in the state. When the votes are counted the democratic candi- date, J. F. Klugh, will wonder if he was in the hunt at all. J. H. Codding will re- turn from the fifteenth district, and the sixteenth will send Horace B. Packer, a bright young fellow from Tioga county, who defeated Congressman Leonard for thg nomination. Farmer M. H. Kulp, the pres- ent representative from the seventeenth dis- trict, has as his opponent Alphonsus Walsh, and a very pretty fight ison. Kulp wrested the district from the democracy two years ago by defeating that old Je:mo- cratic war horse, Charles R. Buckalew, but he has a sharp fight on his hands now. It is a toss-up as to the winner. Congress- man Mahon will return-from the eighteenth district, having practically no opposition, and a new man, Frank E. Hollar, has been nominated from the nineteenth to succeed Colonel Stahle. It is a question whether Hollar can be elected. The district is very strongly democratic, and Hollar has ene- mies. The democrats have nominated Geo. J. Benner of Adams, and he has the it @orsement of his entire party, so that his chances of success are excellent. In the twentieth district is the fight referred to between Hicks and Kooser. A republican could be elected in that district, but a iem- ccrat will represent it, unless the dif- ferences are patched up. R. C. McNamara of Bedford, a strong man, is the demo- cratic nominee, and he is traveling the district determined to win. Among the Coke Makers. E. E. Robbins, a former republican state senator, will win handily in the twenty- first district, where the coke makers are his friends, and there is no doubt about the re-election of John Dalsell and William A. Stone from the two Allegheny districts. Mr. Stone has as his opponent Morrison er Foster, -brother of Stephen C. Foster, the famous song writer: Congressman Ache- son, in the twenty-fourth district, will have a walkover. His opponent is John Purnam, who ts alleged to have outwitted a labor leader in the struggle for the nomination from the democrats, and the labor men say they will give him something to think about when the votes are.counted. J. J. Davidson has been nominated for the twenty-fifth district to succeed Congressman Philips, and as the district gives a republican ma- jority of anywhere from 8,000 to 11,00) his chances of taking Mr. Philips’ seat are one, two, ‘three. The twenty-sixth district, where Joe Sibley is the democratic-people’s nominee, and J. C. Sturtevant the nominee of the republicans, will very likely be car- ried again by Sibley, although there were disinterested parties here from Erie today who say that Sibley is sure to be defeated. There are a good many populists and free silver people in the Sibley district, and he is exceedingly popular because of his liber- ality, so that it will not be surprising if he is re-elected. Charles W. Stone will return from the Warren district, for the simple reason that he can have anything he wants from the party, and there are a good many democrats who always vote for him. That is what gave him his big majority in 1802, when there was an awful slump in almost all of the congressional districts in this state. Congressman Arnold, in the Clear- field district, has a fighting chance to re- turn, but he will have a hard road to travel. The district is naturally dem cratic, but Arnold carried it two years ago. This year the democrats have nominated Col. “Jack” Spangler of Bellefonte, a close personal friend of Gov. Hastings and a member of his staff. Spangler is very popu- lar and has gone on the stump for all it is worth. He was an eleventh-hour convert to the free silver theory, but the demo- crats will overlook a little thing like that and vote for him. Over 300,000 Expected. Republican State Chairman Elkin is giv- ing himself little concern over the outcome in Pennsylvania. He says that he expects at least 350,000 majority in this state for McKinley, and that there is no use of worrying over the campaign. On the other hand it 1s known that Democratic State Chairman Garman is bothered by the fact that he cannot get eny money. He sent out this week 5,000 begging letters to demo- crats asking them for any old kind of a contribution. He also instructed his secre- tary to send letters to the electors notify- ing them that they had been assessed $14) each for the honor of running on a ticket that will be snowed under by countless thousands in November. Even the populist state chairman, Mr. Leslie of McKeesport, is more hopeful and chipper than Mr. Garman, “Why,” said Chairman Leslie, Thursday night, “if the election were heid tomorrow the free silver people would carry this state by 30,000, and I won’t come down one vote.” ——__ “McKINLEY’S ELECTION ASSURED.” Announcement Made by Senator Mat- thew S. Quay. At the national republican headquarters in New York yesterday, after a conference of the entire executive committee, the fol- lowing statement was given out: “The election of McKinley and Hobart is an accomplished and assured fact. They will recelve 270 electoral votes. Bryan will receive 110, and there are six states having 67 electoral votes which are doubtful, but the probabilities all point to the fact that these 67 votes will go into the republican column and be added to the 270 now as- sured for McK-nley and Hobart. This is the status today. We have the election and will hold it. Our present effort in the west is to this end only. The opposition have abandoned the east. M.S. QUAY.” The New York Herald says. This republican claim was issued after a tong conference of the executive committee. When Senator Quay was asked if he would kindly specify the states that are to con- tribute the 270 electoral votes, he replied: “Not today.” When Joseph H. Manley was asked for light, he shook his head and said: “It will be useless for the newspapers to try to figure it out. They can’t duplicate our (table, because they cannot get the ey. Sull, taking Col. Quay’s totals as the key. and what is known of republican hopes the basis of operations, the task is much easier than Mr. Manley supposed. These are probably the states that the republican national committee puts in the various columns: States for McKinley. + 13 Rhede Isl. +6 Vern mec eseest gia. Idaho, Louisiana. Mis~ssij)p- Zl oh ard OPPOSES THE ARCHBISHOP. A Baltimore Catholic Clergyman De- clares for Free Coinage. Rev. Eugene A Hannan of St. Martin's Catholic Church, Fulton avenue and Fay- ette street, Baltimore, created something of a sensation last night by appearing at the hall of the United Catholic Literary As- sociation of Pius Memorial Church and de- livering a lecture upholding the doctrine of the free coinage of silver, and incidentally criticising Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Minn., who published a long statement yesterday calling upon all citizens to sup- pert the single standard and McKinley. Father Hannan is the first Catholic cier- gyman to publicly appear in a political dis- cussion, and he says that in times like these every man ought to get down from his pedestal and take en iaterest in what is going on about him. He did not leave his position doubtful, for he declared: “As for me, 1 am proud to range myself with the masses. Not that I would array the masses against the classes, but, as one of a class, 1 am quick to declare that it is the duty of every man to be a man; aye, a man of the people aud for the people. “I can solemnly assert before God and man that I have studied this question con- scientiously. I have burned midnight gas, I have pondered over books, with the ther- mcmeter at almost 100 In my room at mid- night, and as a convert to the cause, as one who in the beginning thought gold was right and silver wrong, I now declare my adherence to bimetallism. You may find a flaw in my argument. Find it If you can. And when you have found it I will reward you for your industry by finding a baker's dozen in the article published this morning by the cyclonic Archbishop of St. Paul. He is honest; so am J. But he is wrong, and we are right.” After referring to Archbishop Ireland, whom he called one of his dearest friends, he said that his assertion that Archbishop Walsh’s statements do not apply to the condition in this country is “rank.” C cluding, he said: ‘We need all our gold and all our silver for legal tender money, and even then there will not be enough. There is plenty of room for paper, too. Wisdom demands that we give to silver at the mints the same rights that are given to gold— rights that will make it equal in money functions to gold, at the ratio fixed by jaw ot 16 to 1. This can only be done by free coinage of silver, as well as free coinage of gold.” ——_— cee -_ Watson’s Silence Enforced. A special to the Atlanta Journal from Thomson, Ga., says that Thomas E. Wat- son, the populist nominee for Vice Presi- dent, is still confined to his room ané act- ing under the advice of his physician, Dr. E, 8. Harrison. Dr. Harrison stated that while Mr. Wat- son was improving, his throat was srill one complete mass of sores, and under no cir- cumstances could he speak in less than ten or twelve days, and that it was very doubt- ful if he could take the stump again dur- ing the present campaign. Information re- ceived from prominent populists in close touch with Mr. Watson develops that he intended to make a complete tour of Kansas and Colorado, with the intention of smash- ing the present fusion arrangemen:s in those two states.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 1896, The Ohio registration law apylies only to the cities of this state. Last Thursday was the first day of registration for the coming state and national ele In the large municipalities the voters played a most remarkable ea qualify for casting their ballots cities the republicans expect in their vote, and the den do not deny it. In this state at east it will be the cities against the country, to a great degree. The democras pin their hope to the agricultural districts. The republicans look upon the enormous registration in the citles as evidence that the busmess are getting ready to enter a vig: tions, m us pro- test against the proposed change in the standard of values. No such opportmmity for indication of feeling of the rural districts will be aff ed for compirison, bui wie there are no doubt fully alive to importance of the issues of the campaign.

The gain is small, but is as likely to be increased as decreased, for the reason that a majority of the counties that have reported belong to the rural class, where the defections were expected. State Chairman Kurtz of the republican organization is a very conservative man, and little disposed to talk about the work he is doing. He was the chairman of the state committee last year, when the publicans carried the state by nearly 10),- 000, yet he could not be jaduced to make any claim prior to the election as to what plurality the republican ticket would have. The most definite statement he would make was that he believed the republ ticket would be elected.

A fact indicative of this was given to The Star correspondent at the republican state headquarters Saturday evening. E. D. Archer, who has charge of the speakers’ bureau of the committze, stated that there had been held in this state, under the au- spices of the state committee, and inde- pendent of and in addition to the stump work of local republican committee, in this campaign, 1,20 political meetings, to which speakers were assigned and their © paid by the state committee, This is average of sixteen to ao ¥. nd sents a great amount of work in the ing of the arrangements. The Star correspondent suggested to As- sistant Secretary Malcom Jennings of the committee that the democratic state com- mittee seemed to be doing no such work, either in the way of stump king or mak- sending out campaign Iiteratur he re- publican state committee, it should be add- ed, has sent out over 12,000,000 pieces of campaign literature. Secretary Jennings replied that the democratic campaign in this state was being directed from Wash- ington, not from the committee rooms in this city. “It is a still hunt that fs being made from the national capital,” sald he. “In many counties the Jocal democratic committee is doing active campaign work, but we find that in many places wh: open fight is being made for the democratic ticket @ quiet movement is in progres ‘They are sending no speakers of note in the state, and taking the state all over what work on the stump is being done is by local speakers and men not known out- side of their counties.” ‘The fact that the republicans are sending Foraker, Sherman and all the abler sj ers of their party who are not engaged campaigns of their own out of the state for work in states that are regarded os more doubtful ts itself indication that they regard the state as safe at least. —— Railway Men’s Gold Club.
