e TWENTY--SECOND YEAR. CLARKSON'S FIGURES| Chairman of the OCampaign Committee Makes a Personal Statemonts! FEELING Harrison's Blection Will Result from the Eatisfaction of People with Conditions. REASONS FOR CONFIDENT WEAKNESSES DEMOCRATIC EXPOSED Vaulnerable Poiuts in the Adversary's Amor Picked Out and Punctured, SILENT DRIFT OF THINKING VOTERS Men Who Will Voto to Continue the Wise Party rr tion—Douhiful States, Know What Prosperity Means rol- tey of Niw Yomk, Nov. 6. —[Special Telegram to Tur Ber I believe the republican party will win next Tuesday, and 1 can give my reasons for it, N y all the surface indi- cations promise it, and all the undercurronts contirm it. First—There 18 neither need for a change, nor is there Lnywhere oven an apparent de- mand for a cange. The business world s prosperous and the whole country in pro- found peace. Witn goneral prosperity, with business adjusted to existing coaditions, with the uaiversal democratic admis. sion of the spotless record of tne wise and foithful admwistration of President, Harrison, there is no wonder that thore is no excitement in politics and no storms in the campuign, It means t the American people ave satisfied and have de- cided to let well enough aloue. Factory store, shov, form, mino laborer and ali are enjoying tho maximum of prosperity in the history of the country. Ivery factory is busy, every merchant is prosperous, labor is fully employea and fairly pa working peonlo havo §1,500,000,000 of Dosits in the savings banks of the land. Second—In this sati the conutry the great political parties nomi- nated their tickets and declared their prin- ciples. ‘The republican approved of tho condition of unive prosperity and proclaimed continued adhesion to the prin- ciples under whien such condition was es tablishea, and its candidates, its press and ts members have all steadily supported those praiv and positive declarations ever since. Democrats and Thelr Blun Thira -The democratic parly made a plat- form which in every plank quarrels with this condition of universal prosperity and nominatea as candidates two men whose whole political lives and records have been i unrepe.ted opposition to the principles which have made such prosperity in America possible. Itdid this in Juue, but findivg tho people amuzed at its stupidity, it has spent its wholo time siuco trying to repuaite its own formal declarations tuen. luuced, it busos all its hopes for success nextTues day on the ability of 1ts candidates, its press and its speakers to make the Awer ican people believo that the declaration of its platform last June for freo trade and cheap labor does not mean that, and that its equally plain ceclaration for shinplaster cur- rency wes not sincerely wmade on the sur face} therefor tho dewoeratic party is repu aiuted by the Amcrican people, as i peopl orthe people of nation too iutelligent to de- want free tr: and pauperized labor, aud 100 houest to accept poliuted money. Under tho surface many unsecn’ streams are Tod flowing Lo warn tho republican party. ed, the drift of secrot VOtes now mado 50 easy under tho Austealian Lallot, will, in my judgment, dcecide t itest. There aro twice us many ciose or coute:ted states this year ns ever “before. of the drift on seerat votes in the disputed states will demonstrate tho strongth of the republican prespects for success. Seerct Yoters Will Cut A brief analysis 1 the east nearly ali this drift is toward the republican party. Every one of the hundreds of thousands of democrats who do not believo in free trade finds his democrac shaken now, and many thousands of sucl men will secretly vote the republican ticket in order to vote for protection. All business interests now enjoying prosperity and now adjusted to the McKinley law dread the perils of 4 chango and tho unsettlement of trade, and many democrats among such peo- plo wiil secretly vote tho republican ticket in order to protect their own interests and let well enough alone. ‘I'he democrats who believe in honest bank- e and sound woney, and who know the perils and wrongs of frresvonsible buuking and more irresponsible currency will, many of them, secretly voto the republican ' ticiot in order to let "good ecnough monoy alone, German-Atericans aro especially sensitive on these issucs, and tho democratic party will sustain sovere losses from that elemeut on this nccount. Many democrats who be- lieve in Cieveland porsonally, buc who know AL 1O Wan can rise us master aoove his party as president, and many other demo- erats who like Cleveland but ot Stevenson, will secretly vote for the republican sicket a the provailing general prosperity and safot Many manufacturers who do not want free trado in America and American goods manu- factured in Europe will secrctly vote to koep their factorios open and thewr own prosperity continued. Vast numbers of aemocratic workingmen in factorics who seo for them selvos that the democratic nlatform means froo trade, and that free trade moewos Kuro- voan wages for thew, will vote for the re- publican ticket and the perpetuation of their OWn WageN, How the Soldiers Will Vote, Move than all i the cast and all over the north legions of union soldiers, now demo- crats, but not avle 1o vow for candidates who were drawn as conser pts and repre. sented in the army by substitutes, against u gallaut soldier, will sccretly vote for Com- rade Hareison, A still mightier reinforcoment will come to the ropublican party aireot a suflicient relief corps 1o each im state in the north, These ave the H00,000 or more of tue sons and other young knsmen of union soldiors who will” tois year cast their first yote for president, Thero are epough of these new republican voters of themselves to &ive a ropuolican majority in New York and every closo northern state, 1o the cast and all over tue north, too, thore 1s a stoady public and secret drift of Irish-Awericaus toward the republicau party, and indecd of all the eiements of for- eigu birth, especially among the people speaking the Pollack lauguage.

CLOSED IN A tival Polltical Meetings in Kansas Result Serlously to Several ¥ NONS, Four Scorr, Kan., Nov. 6.—A riot fol- lowed the closo of tho political campaign here lust uight. The peorle’s party and re- publicans held rival meotings, the former on the public square and the litter in the court house. ‘The republican meeting was dis- missed first and many of its attendaats joined the peoplo's party crowd. J. It. Leslic, o republican, procured a bar- vel and mounting upon it bogan addrossini the crowd. A furmer named Hreunan knocked the barrel from uunder the speaker and that precipitatea a riot.

It may aiso be said that thera 1s @ singular lack of etailed Kknowledee concerning the western states. It also may bo said that the people who are at the head of the demderatic eampaigy would like to enlarge the wbove List by putting in Wiscousin and California, while the repubii- cars would prefer to reduce it by taking out iansas and Neoraska, But looking the situation squarely in tho face both sides find their fighting ground spread over the terntory indicated. It can further be said that the democratic leaders have little hopes that if they lose New York tho fusion aeals in tho west, or | tho “'zenerally favovable conditions, as they aro called, will_enable them to throw the election of Mr. Cieveland into the house, Not So Very Cortain, They aiso admit the provability that if they gain New York and loso Indianu the clances are about even between them dand 10 ropublicans, A few days ago Chairman Sueerin boasted to a friend from another state that a million dollars could uot ge New York from Cleveland, *‘but mind you,” he added, “[ don’t say that we can beat ilar- rison on the general results,” About Indiana it may ve smd that I resi- dent Harrison bas made known to the re- publican nutional committee bis avsolute conliderce that his own state 1s safe for bim, T'his is based on 1t formatio: sived from every section of it, voliticinas in both ~ parties have respe for Geueral diava than for the local “comittee’s, kuow that his own persoral never misled s judgment. worth nothing as an indication of the drift that the presicent has, at this stage of the canvass, felt justified’ 1 giving Lis opinion so positively.

Comfort for Clevelund, Some of Mr. Cleveland’s personal Iricuds in Chicago appeur to share in the dolusions of the brancn headquarters. J. W. Doane telegraped a member of the democrate committeo to call on the candidate and as- suro him that uwothing could keep Illinois from givine a big majority to the national ticket.

You are to say whether tuis sound policy is 10 0o continued, or abandonod in favor of tiuo democratic schome of the of state bauks and wildeat i3y your yotes you must say that not desiro to disturb tho present rity of the country, by involving our €, Our manufacturing, our agri- culture, our miningand our inances in doubt and uncertaiuty for un iadolinite pariod o f vime. What Kepublican Success Means, The re-clection of President Harrison will insure a continuauce of splendid volicy under woieh the nation has prospered every ranch of industrial life. His re-election will iusure a continuauce of contidence in the policy of the government, and will ehminate all guestions of doubt as'to 1he course to bs pussued with reference to important govern- went operations 1n the future. The eloction of Mr. Cleveland would, on thie cox briog busiuess 1o a standstill, involve every operation in doubt, and raise questions as to the effect unkuown logisiy- tion might have on the economic and flaancial policy of tbe government. We coufidently submit to the country that no cause exists for u cbange, aad that abuudant reasous will occur to the wind of ov. loval citizen in favor of a coutinuance of republican policy asd republican administra ton. ‘This commitiee has conducted the canpaIgn on the issues presenicd by the r spective parties. Our oppouents bave been driven 10 the necessity of saying their cay. didate s better thaw their plavform and national resurrection curvency. you do should be trusted noy to execute its declara. tlons.

IneWort, the democratic party | lias nbdicatettin favor of its candidate and the management hopes to win this election by insisting that tho party does not support its platform; but relies upon its candidate to violate the ‘platform, thus hanging the | prospecity of the country on the siender thread of a single human life, Our candidate and the party he reprosents | are each in complete harmony with the other jadnd both candidate and party stand in nar. mony with the best 1nterosts of the republic, We dodzo no is we do not ask our can- | didate to nid us in catehing votes by promis- to violate or to refuto any principle of varty acknowledged 1n tho national plat- fora.

England Opposed to Harrison. is gratifying t that the It patriotic press of the country has, to an un- ennounce procented exteut, supported our candidate and our olatform during the campaign. Neither our candidate nor our causo has proven popular tn England or coutinontal Kurope. Tho dsmocratic nomince and his platform have mot with universal applauso i Inevery country seeking to rival us in tho commer:ial world. Not a single newspaper 1 Kngzland or on the continent of Europe has spoken a kiodly word for General Har- rison or the repubiican party in this cam paig1. Our poliey does uot justify support from nbroad, nor have we couited favor from the champions of alien interests. This can- not e truthfully said of our pohitical opponeuts. We have relied for support and aia on tho friends of American 1nterests and not reprosentatives of foreign governments, *While pleading poverty the domocratic na- tional commitico has been amply supplicd with funds intended to luence American citizens to vots against their own interests, We are advised that those funds have been chiefly contributed by foraigners who seck to break down the barriers of protection to the end that they may reap profit on the rums of the industries and interests built up by the patriotic policy of tho republican party. This committee has used tho meager contiibutions given 1t by the people to fairly and Lonorably preseut to the country the issues to be passed upon at thoe ballot box. “Our opponents have vetied upon the de- grading and corruplt influence of money to be used on election day to induce the peopie to abandon their principles and their intor- ests and vote the democratic ticket. For the purposo of covertng this roprelcnsiblo scheme tho demoeratic press has substan- tiaily abandoned a!discussion of tho issues and their space has. been devoted to a con- tiouous and wholly unjustified lino of esser- tions with referendo to sunposed enormous coutrivbutions to the republican national committeo for the alleged purpose of carry- ing the election. Final Argameénts of Democrats, “Ground to desperate straits, as we all know that the common sense of the body of the poople is arraved against their un- rignteous cause, the democratic party h uot only sent forth a false cry to cover their wacks, - while undertaking to dehauch the voter, but they have hitewise in this state, through the ficutbnant governor, acting as chairman of o commttee, sought to incite cvil disposed persons to-employ tosurrection- ary mothods for the purbose of preventing tho ofticers of tha Mw on eiection day from g the ballot box as they ars sworn to do for'tha purpose of preventing fraud and intimidation, Ior uhe first time in the history of the ropublie u prominent officor in an imperiat state has endeavored to iucite the citizens, who have heratofora houored nim by their confidonce, to violate the law for the pur- pose of securing partisan advantage. We expect the law avidine citizens of the Em piro state to resent this treasonable appeal “Confidantly relying on vour patriotism, in togrity and common sense, we rest with you the cause of protection, the policy of reci- vrocity, the financial system of the wovern ment, the extansion of our merchant marine and toe repiblicas principlo of a free ballot and an houest count.

MUCH TO ENCOURAGE THE REPUBLICANS Many Indieations That HWon. Thomas 1 Reed Will e Returned to s Old Place s Spoaker in tho Filly.Third Congress, Wasnisaroy, D, C,, Nov. 6. —Thero is por- haps but one point on which both of the great politioal parties are agreed in this campaign and that is that the great demo- oratic majority in the houso of representa tives will be lergely reduced. Kven the most enthusiastic democrat is witlioe to allow that tho probavilities lis in that direction But whon it comas to a caleulation of the ex tent of the prediction, thers is again a difter- enco of opinion. Sowe sanguine republicans have assertod their belief that their party will bo ibla to se- cureamajority in the Fifty-third congress ana will 80 be avlo to elect Thomas B. Reed to his old plucs as spaakor of the house. Thoe domocratic leaders, however, lauzh at this claim, and indeod few coaservative repub- licans have endorsod it. At the begiuning of the present congross the democrats in the house, including the eight independents, or allianco men, who usualiy act with them, numbered 247 out of a total memvership of 336, thus controlling the house by tho almost unprecedented majority of 165, 1t is entic improbable, except in the event of a slide, that this enormous over land- majority can be wo by the republicans. Will Have a Stight Majority, The best informed democrats in Washing- tou velieve that their party will bave n ma- jority of about twenty-fivo in the next hous conservative vepublicans, a majority of about twelve, and tho probabilities aro tuat the truo majority will lic somewhere between theso figures, say cightecn or twenty. Be cause of the numerous unkunown factors en- tering into the contcsts in many of the con- gressional districts the outcome of tho ole tions for congressman iy roally wuch more difticult to forecast than is the case in the presidential contast. In the last congressional elections two years aro the alliance was in tho primo of its youtiful strength, and_ because of its rofusal to afiliate to any oxtent with either of the oid purties, managed to securo the adbesion of very many voters from the rauks of both. Besides, as is usually the case in the presidentian contest, o spirit of unrest was upon the people 'and party ties sat lightly upon them.
