THE WEAK POINT Danger to McKinley in Baltimore Oity Fight, REPUBLICANS WANT THE COUNCIL The Polls of Both Sides Are De- fective. MONEY NOT LACKING —_.—___. Speck. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., October 28, 1896. It is generally conceded that the vote in Baltimore city will determine in which column the state will be enrolled on elec- tion day. Earlier in the campaign the city council fight was rarely mentioned in political circles, but recently It has been the subject of much discussion among those who are in a position to know what is going on, and intimations are not lack- ing to the effect thar certain city politi- cians value the possession of the city hall above a majority in Baltimore for McKinley and Hobart, and are quite pre- pared to furnish Bryan votes in return for ballots favoring their councilmanic nomi- nees. In some wards, and notadly the seventeenth, it is rumored that a deal of this character has been already effected, and while the leaders at the state head- quarters are unwilling to admit that such is the case, they are entirely alive to the possibility of such an arrangement being undertaken, and say that vigorous efforts will be made to suppress any schemes of this character as soon as they are at- tempted. The value of the city hall and Its stores of patronage to the local republican or- ganization is at once apparent, and their desire to have the combine returned is augmented by their expectation—the popu- lar opinion—that the court of appealz will indorse the opinion of ihe lower court as to the legality of the ordinance passed by the council last winter whereby the power of appointment is taken from the mayor and placed in its hands. The result of the re-election of the com- bine who carried this ordinance through the council! will be to place the city hall with Its 2,000 offices entirely in the power of the local republican organization. It will then control the giving out of con- tracts and the disbursement of the city’s moneys, and will be so strongly intrenched behind a bulwark of spoils that it will be next to Impossible to overthrow it. Bent on the Trade. Were it not for the presidential election, it is likely that a non-partisan effort would be made to prevent the return of the com- bine, and in a number of wards there will be considerable scratching, but the city peliticians are bent on carrying out their end, and the assumption that they are pre- pared to trade votes for Bryan to attain their purpose does not seem unwarrant- able. The ordinance referred to was passed by a majority of the republican members of the council when they found that Mayor Hoop- er intended to carry out his ante-election Promises of reform to the letter. It pro- vided that all appointments in the city hall, save only the mayor's clerk and one or two minor officers immediately associated with the mayor, should be chosen by the council. The announcement of the intention to make such a radical change in the city govern- ment created a sensation here, and efforts were made—notably at a large mass meet- ing at Music Hall—to prevent its being car- ried out. The councilmen persisted, how- ever, and the ordinance was passed over the mayor’s veto, all the councilmen but three voting for its passage. The three who sustained the mayor were not favored with renominations this fall, and, conse- quently, the republican combine or ring will have absolute power over municipal affairs should their nominees for council or a majority of them receive a majority at the polls next Tuesday. In fact, the whole power of the city government, the appoint- Ments to office as well as the public funds, depends on the council to be chosen next week, and the average city politician is more interested in the choice of council- men than he fs in the success of the Mc- Kinley and Hobart electors and the nomi- nees for Congress. It will thus be seen what an important part the council contest may play on Tuesday next in this city, and should the vote be close, it may prove the determining factor. The further fact that all the sound money democrats who are supporting McKinley, as well as the Sun and the News, are opposing the republican council ticket has only added to the com- plications of the situation, and if Mary- land should decide in favor of Bryan, the chances are that the local contest for the offices will have more to do with that de- cision than any other one cause. Hot Work. In the meantime the campaign is liter- ally boiling hot this last week. In every section of the city and state large meet- ings are beirg held by the adherents of both parties, and all these meetings are being attended by enormous crowds. Sena- tor Gorman is here every day, and is speaking nearly every night, and Senator- elect Wellington is also working night and day for his cause. Every night the city Is literaliy ablaze with enthusiasm from one end to the other, ani both par- ties from the highest offictal to the hum- blest subaltern are enthusiastically at work. Both sides are well supplied with funds and are using them without stint, and are preparing to make further use of such means on election day. Until the present week, the free silver people have had but Hmited means to carry on their work, but now they seem to have plenty and to spare. From somé source Senator Gorman has secured plenty of cash, and his headquarters have put on a new ap- pearance in consequence thereof. People are at work now who were idle a few days ago, and were then taking uo in- terest in the campaign. Definite Misinformation. No matter what claims may be put forth ty elther side, the best judges here are con- vinced that Maryland {fs still doubtful, and the betting indicates that. In fact, there are very few bets being made, and what there are are even. No republican, now- ever much he may claim, will give any edds in this state in favor of McKinley. Both parties claim to have made polls of certain sections, but no one believes in their accuracy. The Star correspondent was allowed to examine a republican poll that was made in a part of the city with the voters of which he fs well acquainted, and he found it full of glaring errors on both sides. Men were put down for Bryan who are for McKinley, and, cn the other hand, men were put down for McKinley who are for Bryan. The whole poll was made in such a way that it ts not consid- ered of any value by those who had it made. The same statement can be made of the polls that have been taken by the Bryan people. The truth ts, both sides here are at sea as to what the outcome will be next Tues- day, and are fighting like fiends to win. The chances appear to favor McKinley, but there is no certainty as to the result. ——.__ Chatrman Hanna Claims Tennessee.

RGINIA They Are Particularly in Befarence to the Congressional Delegation: Im One District They Favor the Re- publicans, in Another the Democrats. Correspondence of the Evening Stat’ INDIANAPOLIS, October 27, 1896. The last forty-eight hours have made some changes in the political situation, especially as to the congressional delega- tion. In the first district the changes are favorable to the republicans, and in the fourth to the democrats. Every effort of the democrats to secure fusion with the Populists have failed in the first district, and the candidate of the populists is mak- ing an aggressive fight against Duncan, the Bryan candidate. The populist vote in the district two years ago amounted to about 3,800. The republican plurality in the district was 2,200. A -fusion between the two opposing parties would make it a doubtful road for the republican candidate, and the republicans have been watching the efforts to secure fusion with a good deal of interest. The populist candidate, Rev. Josephus Lee, has just issued a circu- lar letter, declaring that under no circum- stances will he withdraw, and this is ac- companied by a circular letter from the chairman of the populist committee, urging the populists to stand by Mr. Lee. Two years ago Mr. Duncan, the democratic can- didate, was chairman of the party commit- tee in Gibson county, and it is charged that he was then a sound money man, and made speeches against free silver, and that he was the author of the democratic plat- form adopted by the county convention, in which one plank severely denounces the Populists as anarchists, and declares that the success of their principles would end in national ruin. All this has tended to anger the populists of the district, and it is be- Meved that many of them will even refuse to support the fusion electoral ticket. It is denied certain that none of them will vote or Hemmenway’s Election Almost Cer- tain. This not only puts the election of Mr. Hemmenway among the possibilities, but makes it almost certain. With the excep- tion of Evansville, the district is entirely agricultural, and the democrats have been expecting to make large gains; but the latest information from the various coun- ties fs to the effect that the republicans ara standing pretty steadfastly to McKinley, and but few advocates of free silver are found among them. Vanderburg is the largest county in the district, and two years ago the populists polled 1,480 votes. The democrats have been expecting that this large vote would be cast for Bryan, and that through its aid the republican plural- ity of two years ago would be cut down to 200. On the other hand it is claimed that the county contains not less than 800 sound money democrats, of whcm at least 700 will vote for McKinley. As the German vote is very, e in the county, and as they are neanlY unanimous for sound money, the calculations of the republicans may not be out of the way. State Treasurer Scholz lives In that county, and asserts that, in- stead of losing, the republican plurality in the county would be increased at least 300. Mr. Kercheval, the member of the state committee from the district, is not quite so sanguine, but says McKinley will have at least 1,200 in the county, even if all the pcpulists vote the fusion electoral ticket. He also says that McKinley will make substantial gains in the other counties of the district from the democrats, but not enough to offset entirely the combined vote of democrats and populists, but that Mr. Hemmenway will be elected beyond ques- tion. Judge Holman’s Chances I reasing. In the fourth district the persuasions of the democrats have prevailed and the pop- ulist candidate for Congress has been withdrawn in favor of Mr. Holman. This reduces the chances of Mr. Sulzer, the republican candidate, very materially. The district is normally democratic, and two years ago the populists polled about 1,300 votes. They will pretty nearly all vote for Holman this year, the only disaffec- tions from him being among the populist soldiers. The republicans two years ago carried the district handsomely for their state ticket, and Mr. Sulzer claims that he will make gains among the farmers. The sound money democratic vote, especially in Columbus and Madtson, the two largest cities in the district, will be quite large, and through their help Mr. Sulzer may pull through, but the chances are now largely against him. The situation as it now stands will give the democrats the second, third and fourth districts, but the republicans still believe they can elect in both the second and fourth. The Gas Belt for McKinley, In the gas belt the tide is strongly for McKinley and the republican gains of two years ago will be more than duplicated. The Bryan managers have been claiming that they would make gains in Grant county, but a careful survey of the field discloses the fact that the free silver republicans in the county number only sixty, while the list of sound money democrats who will not vote for Bryar. is 270, and of that number 250 are actively for McKinley. Mr. Hiram Brownlee, one of the delegates at large tq St. Louis, lives in that county, and he is firmly convinced the republicans will in- crease their plurality of two years ago by fully one thousand. He says the men in the factories are almost unanfmous’ for McKinley. The same is true of Anderson, Elwood, Muncie, Kokomo, Alexandria and other gas cities. A poll taken in some of the factories at Anderson shows that out of 1,628 voters working in those factories only 137 are for free silver. McKinley’s Probable Plurality. The total vote of this state will reach 515,000. Conservative estimates place the Palmer and prohibitionist vote at. 25,000, leaving 550,000 to be divided between Mc- Kinley and Bryan, and the same conser- vative estimate gives McKinley 53 per cent or 291,50), leaving Bryan with only 258,500, the McKinley plurality being 33,000. -This by no means reaches the calculations of the republican managers, but is the best opinion from conservative republicans and sound money democrats, who have as good opportunities for knowing the feeling as any persons in the state, ——— : Gen. Palmer Cheered. Amid artillery salutes and the cheering of thousands the special Palmer and Buckner train drew into Creston, Iowa, shortly af- ter noon yesterday. An escort of several hundred G. A. R. men and citizens accom- panied the party to the Opera House, al- ready packed with an audience of 1,500 peo- ple. Great cheering greeted the national democratic candidates as they reached the stage. General Buckner spoke for thirty minutes, discussing the money question with keenness and force. An effort on the part of a coterie of free silver men to make @ noise was hissed down, and the general was not a second time molested. In his closing sentences he denounced sectionalism and paid an eloquent tribute to the flag @nd the integrity of the Union. General Pal- mer made a short address, directing his words to the old soldiers, commenting with spirit of the effect that free coinage would have in scaling down their pensions. As he was about to close a populist in the audi- ence walked down the aisle to the stage and handed Palmer a paper on which was written two questions: “Is it not a fact that in 1882 you made a speech in favor of free coinage?” was one of them. It brought forth an indignant “No” that was ap- Dlauded to the echo. In the other the gen- eral was asked if he had not sought the ‘populist nomination for the presidency in 1892. To this he pronounced the “No” with even greater emphasis and followed it up with: “The man who says that either of those propositions is true is a lar.” The meeting closed with great cheering ‘f Palmer and Buckner, ie A Conservative Forecast Gives the State to “by 15,000, Sak: anaes Claims of Both Parties as to the Re- sults in the Congressional Contests, Correspordence of ‘The Evening Star. ‘WHEELING, W. Va., October 28, 1896. A review of the past few weeks does not show material changes in the political situ- ation. There can Be no question that in distinctively democratic farming communi- ttes like those of Wetzel, Braxton, Nicholas, Randolph and Hardy counties the silver cause has made gains, and that these coun- ties will come up with old-time democratic majorities for Bryan. The mining and rail- road elements in Cabell, Fayette, Kanawha, McDowell, Marion, Mineral and Taylor counties will tmsure an increased vote against free coinage. The gold democratic movement will be most felt in Wheeling, but will cut quite 2 figure in Parkersburg, Huntington, Charleston, Martinsburg and the eastern Panhandle counties. There has been no appreciable defection in such re- Publican strongholds as Grant, Harrison, Marshall,. Monongalia, Preston, Ritchie, Upshur and Tyler. The populist vote for Bryan will be more thun offset by the sound money democratic vote against him. The contest as to amount of literature dis- tributed, number of speeches made and practical organization of the state has been unequally in favor of the republicans. The democratic organization has been crippled from the start. A conservative forecast gives the six electoral votes to McKinley by 15,000 plurality. The Congressional’ Contests. As to Congressmen the republican man- agers claim the safe election of the full delegation of four by an aggregate plurality as large as that of 184, which was 13,329. ‘The democratic managers concede the elec- tion of Dovener in: the first, or Wheeling district, but claim that three democrats will represent the rest of the state. Colonel Arnett, the democratic nominee in the first district, is at the disadvantage of having to overcome a plurality of 4,408 for Dovener in 1804, and. although Dr. Stone, the populist nominee, has withdrawn and attempted to throw the populist vote to Arnett, the effort to win ts regarded &s al- most hopeless. The democracy in Ohio county is badly demoralized this year, Dovener will get the sound money demo- cratic vote, and his friends predict Ohio county alone will give him 2,000 majority. In the second district the story is dit- ferent. The republican nominee, A. G. Dayton, present'‘incumbent, has also a good majority back of him (2,051 in 1304), but in a district Where if free silver hos made inroads anywhere in the state he will feel the results! most strongly. His cpponent, W. G. Brown, a banker of King- wood, has the imdorégement of zhe popu- Usts and has madelvan active campaign. Dayton’s record tnithampioning the im- provement of the Monongahela :iver will help him constderabby in the river coun- tles. 9 In the third district the fight is warm between ex-Gov. ‘B, W. Wilson, democrat, and C. P. Dorr, *tepublican. Dorr was a former democrat “an@ his election depends on the attitude gf gee !abor vote in the mining section. The advantages are with him. > In the fourth distriet Warren Miller, who had 2,852 plurality én 189%, has a hard fight for re-election,.agains: Walter Pen- dieton, who will capture the stay-at-home democratic vote “bf 1894, ‘as well as the greater paft of the! poptWst vote. FPendle- ton stands: the ‘bést-show cf election of any of the: democratic neminees, but the republican managers claim. that this is too much of a McKinley year for him to touch bottom. The Gubernatorial Fight. In the gubernatorial fight a very pretty contest has been waged ‘between George Wesley Atkinson, republican, and Cor- nelius C. Watts, free silver democrat. Both are well-known {n every school dis- trict of the state and both sre shrewd politicians, The democratic nanagers have made extra efforts on behalf of Watts in order to continue possession of the state patronage and are charged with willing- ness to trade two, three or four county office votes for one for Watts, and as not being beneath sacrificing Bryan for him. The populists, too, have withdrawn their state ticket. in his interest and the gold democrats will remain true to him. Not- withstanding this,Atkinson is confident that he will be elected and ts backed up in that belief by his state committee and many shrewd observers. 2 DEMOCRA’ CLAIMS, Encouragement Given to Chairman Campau by Late Reports. Mr. D. J. Cempau, chairman of the democratic campaign committee at Chi- cago, received yesterday the following ad- ditional reports in regard to the various states: “Alabama democratic electoral ticket will receive not less than 50,000 majority. The nine democratic congressional candidatgs will be elected by majorities ranging- from 500 to 7,000, “Letters from farming sections of New York state and enthusiasm of working- men in metropolis afford ample assurances of victory for Bryan. Farmers are offer- ing lands and crops to our silver party committee. O’Brien democracy holds 200 meetings this week. McKinley parades and men are mere election devices.

THE OLD BADGER STATE [McKinley and Spooner Sure te Cary tt Every Congressional District but the Fourth Counted Safe for the . Republican Candidates. Correspor dence of The Evening Star. MILWAUKEE, October 26, 1896. Under normal political condittons, Wis- consin is a republican state. Whenever she has left the republican column it has been through the pressure of peculiar political circumstances. The boom of the Patrons of Husbandry gave Wisconsin to the demo- crats in 1873. The great religious revolt of 1890 threw tho state offices to the demo- crats again, and gave them eight of the nine Congressmen. This second lease of Power to the democrats would have lasted only two years but for the national up- rising against the McKinley tariff in 1892. The hostile religious elements had been sufficiently reconciled to have restored the state to the republicans, but the anti-pro- tection sentiment, joined with the lingering effects of the revolt of cwo years previous, was sufficient to re-elect the democratic state ticket by greatly reduced pluralities, give the electoral vote of the state to Cleveland, and send a delegation to Con- gress consisting of six democrats and four republicans. In 1894 the state was redeem- ed by the republicans, who not only elected their state ticket by over 50,000 plurality, but sent a solid delegation to the House of Representatives. During the campaign two years ago the democrats were exceedingly confident, and Chairman Wall, Gov. Peck and. other leaders persisted in declaring that the balloting would result in a demo- cratic victory, despite strong indications to the conjyary—evidence similar in character to that which seems to show that the state will give McKinley a plurality approximat- ing at least 75,000, but less strongly con- vincing to the republicans than that which exista at the present time. The democratic leaders then had the prestige of a plurality of 7,700 to sustain their hopes, and they calculated that the republicans could make comparatively large gains‘ over the vote of 1892, and still leave them a margin “to the good.” But they were sorely mistaken, as the balloting resulted in a plurality of 53,900 for Gov. Wm. H. Upham, the repub- lican candidate for governor. This year the democrats are repeating their predic-} tions and calculations of 1892, with a re- publican victory to the extent of over 50 v00 as the latest gubernatorial election rec- ord. They are “figuring the state for Bryan” on alleged reports from the va- rious congressional districts of the state, which are utterly lacking in definiteness. Democratic Miscalculations. The balloting of next week will surcly show that the democrats have again mis- calculated. Wisconsin will give her elec- toral vote to McKinley, elect a solid con- gressional delegation—barring the doubt in the fourth district—and send a legislature to Madison that will elect ex-Senator Spooner to succeed Senator Vilas in the United States Senate. The only doubtful district in the state for the republicans is the fourth, which comprises all but a few wards of the city of Milwaukee. The fusionists are putting forth extra efforts to carry Milwaukee county, and are counting on a heavy vote from the workingmen, who, they claim, will give Bryan a heavy vote despite the fact that there are many of them wearing McKinley buttons and saying they will vote for the republican candidate for the presidency. It is un- doubtedly true that there is a large amount of cloaked Bryan sentiment in Milwaukee among the employes of large manufacturing establishments and among the railroad em- ployes. This may be sufficient to give the democrats Milwaukee county and the fourth congressional district; but it is difficult to estimate the probable size of the hidden vote. However, the result in the state will not depend on the vote in Milwaukee coun- ty, as the indications outside are for heavy majorities for McKinley. The Fourth District. Some of the republican leaders are not reluctant in expressing uneasiness over the situation in the fourth district, but all re- publican campaign workers are sanguine as to the outcome In the state at large, and are eager to vote. “If we could only yote,” sald Secretary John M. Ewing of the state central committee, when asked in regard to the situation. “We are all ready for it, and would do as well today as we will on the first Tuesday in November; but we have to keep up the fight to hold what we have.” Several hundred republican spell- binders are now moving from school house to school house in the country and from village to village, rallying the voters for the battle of ballots. These political cir- cuit riders will continue their movements until the very eve of the election. This is the kind of work that was done two years ago, and it must count. On the other hand the democrats have been doing no system- atic work, and it is doubtful whether any of the fusion leaders have any definite in- formation as to the probable vote. ES ee BRYAN SPEAKS TO GREAT CROWDS. The Democratic Candidate Makes Ten Addresses in the Windy City. Twice yesterday afternoon the largest hall in the business district of Chicago was filled with people to hear William J. Bryan, the democratic presidential candidate. Out- side on the lake front and streets adjoining, unable to gain admission, were crowds that would have filled the hall twice again: Eight other large meetings were addressed by Mr. Bryan before midnight in various parts of the city. The crush at the afternoon meeting even exceeded that of the noonday meeting. Fainting women were carried from the hall every few moments. For two hours before Mr. Bryan arrived it was impossible to ob- tain admission, and thousands gathered on the lake front in the hope of participating in an overflow meeting, but this was im- possible, owing to Mr. Bryan's many en- gagements. The nominee's appearance upon the stage was greeted with cheers. Jlundreds of ladies in the audience had small American flags, and, as they ché2red, they waved the flags in unison. His speech was on lines made familiar by him on-previous occasions, and. was in the main a general discussion of the financial issue. Mr. Bryan's other speeches before mid- night were at St. Stanislaus Hall, Noble street; Transit House, Union stock yards; St. Paul’s School, Ambrose street and Hoyne avenue; Novotny’s Hall, 22d street and Troy avenue; Bohemian Turner Hall, South Ashland avenue; Pulaski Hall, 18th street and Ashland avenue; Big Tent, Har- rison and Loomis streets, and People’s In- stitute, Van Buren and Leavitt streets, ———_+-e+______ OHIO DAY IN NEW YORK.

BRYAIPS TREMENDOUS RECEPTION Discounted by Republican Com- mitteemen, WHAT THE LEADERS SAY ss Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. te CHICAGO, October 28, 1896. Bryan arrived yesterday, and ever since the demccrats of Illinois have been in high feather. They are bullding great hopes on the speeches which their can- idate will make, and on them alone they seem to place their expectation of carry- ing the state. Chairman Hinrichsen of the democratic state committee officially claims a plurality of 30,000. As the cam- paign now stands McKinley seems certain to carry-the state by a plurality of uot less than 50,000. Bryan is making a stirring canvass. On his arrival here his admirers gave an en- thusiastic reception, but at the same time it seems difficult to see how a few speeches made by him can change the state. Chief Adams of the democratic Mterary bureau, who is an Illinois man, says that he believes that Bryan will gain 10,00 votes by his speeches in Chicago. This seems hardly enough. If he gains no more than that he will lose the state. At the same time it is very questionable whether he will make such a gain. I was talking yesterday with a man from Quincy who had heard Bryan delivering his speech at that point. This gentleman, who is a republican, says that his heart went down into the bottom of his boots when he saw the size of the crowd. He thought that the whole country was going to be swept by Bryan. He expressed his fears to one of the men in the crowd, when the other laughed and said that more than one-half of the men present were for Me- Kinley. They agreed to make a canvass and asked thirty-four men in their vicinity how they stood on the presidency, and were agreeably surprised that twenty-three of them were in favor of the election of McKinley. Similar stories come from other parts of the state, and there is no record that Mr. Bryan's speeches have intluenced any very great number of voters. The democrats are very loud in their claims, but they are apparently without foundation. The Egg Affair. The rotten egg incident Tuesday 1s count- ed upon to have some effect. Indeed, ft is such-an excellent card for the democrats that the republicans have suspected that the ingenious brain of some of the demo- cratic workers devised the plan. The act has excited great resentment, which is shared by the republicans. The repub- licans unanimousiy express their disap- proval of it, although at the same time they call it to mind that the egg throwing was begun by the democrats of Covington. The democrats are bitter, and resent the insult offered their popular idol. One Bryan man asserts that the egg incident will cost McKinley 2,000 votes in this state, but this seems to be an exaggeration, and it is doubtful if it will influence 1,000, In the closing days of the campaign’ the democrats are renewing their efforts to capture the state. The campaign is being concentrated here. Last night Chairman Hinrichsen brought in 104 speakers from the country. There are two reasons givea for this. The democrats say it is because they have already won the state, and ere now after Cook county. The republicans say that they have given up all hope of the state and wish to make some impression on the republican majority in Cook county. These orators are in addition to the 400 others who are now stumping Chicago, and who may be heard in halls all over tewn, and on barrels at the street corners. Any method seems to be justifiable in their eyes. They claim anything at all, and make assertions that the republican are going to do pretty much anything. Yesterday, when Bryan arrived, cards were ed from one of the carriages, which : “Friends of Bryan and Altgeld, watch the count November 3,” the evident inten- tion being to insinuate that the election would be stolen by the republicans. An Honest Count. This charge has been frequently made, but according to all the information ob- tainable the election will be one of the most nearly honest ever held in Chicago. The arrangements which have been made prevent any juggling. It was said that the returns would be held back. At Chairman Hanna’s suggestion, it has been arranged that as 300n as the polls close the officers in each precinct shall first of all canvass the vote for presidential electors and scnd the figures at once to the City Hall by policemen. The result in Cook county should thus be known at 7 o'clock, as the polls close at 4. The story has been that the republicans having control of the eiec- tion machinery would hold back Cook county until they ascertained how many votes they needed to offset an alleged cer- tain majority in the rest of the state. Of ccurse, the charge falls to the ground, in view of the facts. ‘The republicans expect some sort of sharp trick will be attempted on them during the closing days. They belleve that the street will be flooded with pamphtets on the morn- ing of election day before the republicans can deny them. “The instructions which have been given to the republican county cemmittee and the leaders in each pre- cinct are to be on the lookout for roor- backs. The republicans are, however, be- lieved to be fully prepared to prevent them. Governor Altgeld’s canvass in Chicago has been remarkable. He made speeches Gladness Comes Witha better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof Families, and everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial aS hades ae pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is Greanitactiren iy the Cali- ia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the we of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, ener should have the best, ee Zn well-informed everywhere, Syrup o' Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. lar to that made by Bryan, and the demon- strations in his honor do not compare un- diner fi with — to the chief of his party. vernor Altgeld, as usual, devoted org self chiefly “gt ates favorite topics of “government by junction” and “fed= eral interference.” . ‘The Legislature. The canvass for members of the legisla~ ture is now attracting more attention, chiefly because of the contest for the sen- atorship. Senator Palmer's term will ex- pire. The republican leaders feel pretty confident, because they have a majority of the hold-over members of the state senate. There are five candidates for the United States Senate. They are Clerk E. Carr of Galesburg, Martin B. Madden, William E. Mason, E. Adams Hamilton of Chicago. Of these the best chances seem to be those of Madden, Carr nd Mazon. Madden is now an alderman, who is accused of being the leader of the corruptionists in the city council, although his enemies have been unable to present Satisfactory proof of his delinquencies. Madden has had his eye on the Senate for years, and, being the virtual leader of the republican machine in Cook county, and one of the most important factors in’ state politics, his chances would seem to be the best. Mason is a former Congressman from Chicago, who was defeated for re- election six years ago, and since then has had his eye on the Senate. He was @ can- didate two years ago, when Cullom suc- ceeded himself. Of late he has been sys- tematically canvassing the state for the republican ticket, and has won many friends by his speeches, who may be of service to him during the campaign for the senatorshtp. Palmer's Successor. The legislature is composed of fifty-one senators and 153 representatives, the law requiring the election of three representa- tives from each district. The total is 204, making 103 necessary to an election. The republicans have twenty-one of the hold- over senators and the democrats four. If the democrats carry all the districts they claim they will have a majority of six votes. On the other hand, the republicans claim that they will have twenty-six to spare, not considering the doubtful dis- tricts, many of which they assert to be good fighting ground. Very slight grounds can be found for the democratic claims, and it is reasonably certain that a repub- lican will succeed Palmer in the Senate. The county ticket in Cook county is re- ceiving very little attention. The good citi- zens hold up their hands in horror. They. both seem equally bad in their make-up, and the candidates are very well pleased that they have escaped the attention of the public, in view of the overshadowing in- terest in the national contest. The repub- Means will elect their county ticket, not on local issues, but simply because the men who are on it happen to be in the same Sotioan of the official ballot with McKin- ——_—> —_ Isaiah Crossman, head of the Crossman Heel Company, died Tuesday at Lynn, Mass., as the result of a fall from a bi- cycle a month ago.
