Standing out prominently amid all the doubt and uncertainty of the outcome of the election here in Chicago is one fact so apparent that he who moves about at all may read it—the people are at last growing weary of the campaign. It is not a com- forting fact to the politicians, but it is a fact, just the same. For the first four weeks after Bryan's nomination and the joining of issues in the platforms the business of this city a is was seriously impeded by the fierce and heated discussion of politics which went on EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 76th meridian tine.

Productions on a smaller scale of those in the streets, and almost any merchant or other business man would leave his work to engage in a heated political argument with customer or anybody else who: might venture to broach the all-absorbing ques- tion of silver. Men and women, too, went crazy on the subject, and to a calm out- side observer the whole proceeding raised the question whether madness had not be- come an epidemic. Now all this is changed. Though the election ‘s only a few days off, the politi- cal atmosphere has grown much quieter, if no clearer. The endurance of the politi- cian seems to have about exhausted itself. Signs like this are frequently seen now in places of business: “Don’t talk to me on the siiver question; my mind is made up.” Inquiry as to the conclusion merely calls out an index finger pointing to the sign. While this is true of what might be call- ed the street phase of the campaign, there seems to be little falling off in interest in political meetings where speakers of revu- tation hold forth. But even at these gath- erings there is not the fierce struggle for admittance that attended the earli2r meat- ings. It is safe to say tnat the thinking, reasoning voter has a!ready meade up his mind as to how he wall vote November 8. The unthinking, upreasoning voters, of whom there are, unfortunately, a great number here, will probably decide some fifteen minutes or less before they enter the voting booths. Yet, it is for this worthless, venal, even dangerous, element of our electorate that all the noise and fuss and feathers of the campaign is being kept up to the end. For this element the managers of both policcal parties are exhausting every. means to find out how the man of principle is going to vote. If it can be demonstrated to the “band wagon” vote which way the tde is setting, it will only be necessary to shout, “Jump in.” Otherwise it may require a $2 bill to convince the doubtful one, and in ret&rn get uo assurance ‘hat he will de- liver the gocds. The Result im Doubt. As to the result of the efforts to fore- cast the outcome, it can be asserted posi- tively that no apparent progress has bean made by either party. The result here is in as much doubt as it was a month ago. Both sides are claiming everything for pub- lication, but get the shouters calmed down a little and they. will acknowledge, “not for Publication with my ‘hame, of” course,” that they really have next te no evidence upon which to base their claims. Both sides are-tlatming: victory from the unprecedented registration, yet a dispas- sionate analysis of 1he increase shows that it is about everly distributed through the democratic and* republican strongholds alike. Of this tremendous registration, und the efforts which brought it forth, it may be remarked that nothing so dangerous to public welfare nor so disgraceful in meth- ods has ever occurred before in the history of Chicago politics. That fravd and per- jury have been resorted to by wholesale is acknowledged by all who are familiar with the facts. The ignorant, degraded, off- scouring of Europe have been rounded up like so many wild cattle, corralled in court rooms, and the brand of American eitizen- ship burnt on by the rankest kind of per- jury. Each side .being satisfied of its abil- ity to make the most of the outrageous business, neither has the courage to call a halt on the other. Even partisan judges turn sick with disgust at the wholesale vio- lation of the spirit and intent of the law, which, however, is conformed to in the let- ter. While the public shows signs of weari- ness and exhaustion over the campaign, many of the speakers, ‘prominent and un- important alike, are showing more marked evidence of fatigue. Speaker Reed has nearly worn his voice out, and Gov. Alt- geld has little left of either voice or strength. At his4ast speeeh at the Audi- torlum he was so_near collapse .that..the morning papers stationed reporters at his hotel all night, pot knowing but that news of a most serioUs character might devolop from his alarming condition. How those two old veterans, Palmer and Buckner, manage to keep up as’ well as they do {s the wondering comment of the politicians on every hand. The most thorough and intelligent effort which has been made to catch the drift of public sentiment here in the doubtful west is that being made by the Record’s postal card vote. Out of the results both parties profess to find certain evidence of success. The Pos Card Ballet. Though the total vote here in the city for McKinley is nearly ‘five times that given to Bryan, the democrats, figuring on certain percentages, claim it shows vic- tory for their candidate. Instructions were sent out to the silver men not to participate in the ballot. This furnishes a ready ex- planation on the art of the ‘leaders for the smail total, while the percentage ‘of former republicans who have turned to Bryan, they claim,.shows that he will pull throug on this element of the electorate. They also point to the total vote for Mc- Kinley as evidence in their favdér. It is well known that the republican managers desired a full expression from republican voters in the straw ballot. ‘Their speakers and daily papers indorsed the scheme, yet only about 66,000 out of a registration of 877,000 has been cast for the republican nominee. This may or may not be signifi- cant. < ‘The great parade on Chicago day un- doubtedly had a decided effect favorable to the “sound money” party. But even that has been somewhat discounted by certain things which have developed since. Later estimates have shown that the figures rep- resenting the numbers in line were too high by almost half, and the patadé revived the old cry of coercion by the democrats. Careful estimates, based on the vote for state treasurer in 1804, and for mayor here in 1995, show that at least 50,000. republi- can votes in the state must change over to Bryan outside of Chicago to evercome the expected democraticxdefection to Mc- Kinley in Cook county. : ‘The republicans say they will come up to Cook county with 100,000 plurality. The democrats confidently claim 75,000 in the same territory, and even claim Cook county. Men of both parties who are willing to give their candid convictions frankly ad- mit that as the election draws nearer the situation becomes more involved and uncer- tain, and there you are.

For Virginia, threatening weather and tain; east to south winds. Weather conditions and general forecast: The barometer has fallen except on the New England coast and at southern Rocky mountain stations. An area of low pressure ccvers the lower Mississippi valiey. The barometer is also low to the north of the lake regions and it is highest over Colorado. Rain prevails this morning generally throughout the southern states and Ohio valley, and the weather is cloudy except in ihe lake regions and the northwest. It is warmer this morning from the lake regions southward to the gulf coast, and cooler at Rocky mountain stations and from Kansas southward to the gulf coast. The indications are that threatening weather and rain will prevail from the gulf states northeastward over the lower lake region and New England, followed by clear- Ing and cooler weather in the gulf states, Tennessee and Kentucky during Saturday.

Representatives of the Sound Money League here have taken vigorous steps to rip in the bud what they claim to be efforts on the part of certain machine politicians, through the registrars, to prevent a large number of people from registering. The old bad name of Smithers’ precinct in Henrico county, which was accused by the Rich- mond Times of having cheated the demo- cratic opponents out of hundreds of votes two or three years ago, has come out again, and the precinct is again in disrepute. This time the registrar 1s accused of resorting to all kinds of tricks, absenting himself at the itimes appointed, and staying away 'so as to keep voters from registering and getting transfers. ; Legal proceedings have been instituted by the Sound Money League, and they are sparing no time, work or expense to frus- trate the schemes of the ring. The Star correspondent learns from reliable authority that a powerful effort is being made by cer- tain parties to keep down the republican and sound money democratic vote as low as possible. The war has already commenced, and lively times are expected before the fight is over. The battles are being fought through the courts, and never before have such powerful efforts been made for a fair ballot. Smithers’ precinct in Henrico is a notoriously corrupt precinct, and the glar- ing and flagrant frauds there, though open- iy exposed, appear to be only half smoth- ered, and ready to be perpetrated again when the opportunity arises. A shrewd game is being worked on the part of the registrar of Smithers’. He has made half a dozen appointments to be at his place, so as to register voters, and as many as ninety voters at a time have been present to regis- ter or get transfers without avail, each ap- pointment being broken, though compensa- tion for his services, according to the amount the law allowed, was guaranteed. The object seems to be to wait until October 24, the last day for registration, and from that time until election day there will not be sufficient time to get the transfers from various parts of the state, as is necessary. The registrar of Smithers’ precinct refuses to say when he can be found to register voters, and there are many voters who will by these tactics be deprived of their right to vote. Certain it is that if the present state of affairs continues, and the plans which have evidently been mapped out for execution are carried through, the Sound Money League will make a strong legal fight to put some of the leaders in the peni- tentiary. On the other hand, the free silver leaders and henchmen are thoroughly organized and are exerting every energy to win in this district and throughout the state. They realize that they have a double enemy to fight, and that the sound money democrats who used to be a part of their forces are consequently thoroughly familiar with all their_election methods and their sys- tems of political warfare. They appear to be more afraid of the sound money demo- crats than of their old-time enemy, the re- publicans. Each party is watching the others, though the sound money democrats show that they have more to fear from the free silverites than from the republicans, who have formerly made a far better show toward efforts for an honest count than have the democrats. : The refusal on the part of the city council to accept the resignation of C. V. Meredith, city attorney, is regarded here a signifi- cant feature of the local campaign. Mr. Meredith resigned upon the ground that he could not support Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago platform, end he, stated in his resignation that he took this action for the reason that he did not care to disturb the close relations between the city attorney and the council. He was afraid there might be some lack of confidence on the part of the council if he remained in office IN VIRGINIA! with~his present political views. It was thought there would be no hesitation on the part.of the council to accept the resig- nation, and the action of the body was sprung upon the public. here in the shape of a surprise. It 1s reasonably certain that so strong an influence was brought to bear on the council by many of the most prominent citizens as to result in retaining Mr. Meredith, who 1s a strong sound money man and a geat admirer of Mr. Cleveland. This is sald to be first blood by the gold men since the political fight commenced. An afternoon paper here i4 authority for the assertion that republicans and sound money democrats are leagued together to have a number of Pinkerton detectives at work in and around Richmond on election day. The report is added that Pinkerton’s men will operate largely in Virginia and West Virginia on November 3. This rumor is. believed to be without foundation. It serves to show, however, how the free sil- ver democrats ‘are worked up over the ef- forts of tho republicans and sound money democrats to get a fair election this time. —— The Dispensary Cases. One of the South Carolina dispensary ‘cases was argued in the Supreme Court yesterday. It involves the right of a pri- vate citizen to import liquors into the state for his own use and consumption. Another case involving the constitutionality of the. amendments to the original law passed by the South Carolina legislature last winter probably will be decided when the case argued yesterday is, as the state authori- tles are very anxious to secure a final adjudication of the constitutionality of the law. The case before the court grew out Of the eeizure of liquors imported into the state last December by James Donald, he clay them to be for his own use and consumption. It came up on an appeal from an injunction granted by the United States circuit court. to aiding Dr. G. B. Crowe, populist can- didate for Congress in the ninth district, and also to put in a few words for the middle-of-the-road electoral ticket. Dr. Crowe’s friends think that the division cf the democratic strength in the ninth dis- trict between Oscar W. Underwood, regu- lar democrat, and Dr. Archibald Lawson, national democrat, gives Crowe a good a chance to win. This hope is based chiefly on the large strength of the sound money element in the district, -vho, it Is figured, will withdraw from Underwood and go for Lawson. National Democrats Not Buoyant. The national democrats, who had high hepes for securing four or five congres- sional districts a-short while back, are less a a buoyant now.
