8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1896 e ESTIMATES MADE INMANY: STATES Claims of the Leaders of the Two Parties as to the Result. Democrats and Republicans Both Battle Stubbornly in the Middle West. BRYAN TO LOSE IN NEBRASKA Major McKinley Will Get an Over- whe ming Majority in Ohio and the Who e Nation. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 31.—M. A. Hanna rolled down his mahogany desk to-night end at the same time practically closed the Presidential campaign of 1896 so far as the Republican party is coneerned. Senator Jones likewise closed the Demo- cratic National campaign headquarters and the army of party workers threugh- out the Nation will rest on their arms until election morning, when they will marshal the voters for the battle at the polls. The campaign leaders on both sides gave public ufterances to their serene con- fidence that victory would crown their fight for the suffrages of the citizens and that spirit was reflected in the general enthusiasm at the varions party head- querters. “Flag day,” originated by the Repub- lican managers and adopted by the Dem- ocrats, was like a triple extract of the “glo- rious Fourth,” and estimating its success by the number of McKinley and Hobart portrait accompaniments of the National colors, the originators of tbe patriotic dis- play congratulated themselves that they bhad shown the Republican ticket had a majority of supporters in this city. Chairman McMillan of the Iowa Re- publican Committee wired to headquar- ters: “Flag order has been generally ob- served, Whole State wild with enthusi- asm for McKinley.” The following parting message was tele- graphed to Major McKinley by the Na- tional Committee and heads of depart- ments at the close of the day’s work: *Advices from all paris of the country | assure us that ‘flag day’ was generally | observed by the patriotic people through- out the Nation.”” Telegrams innumerable have been re- ceived by the Nationa! Committee con- gratulating the Republicans on the great success of the day and the prospects of a glocious victory next Tuesday. 0Hl10. COLUMBUS, Oxnro, Oct. 3L.—The officers to be elected in Ohio next Tuesday are Secretary of State, Judge of the Supreme Court, Food and Dairy Commissioner, Membex 'of the Board of Public Works, twenty-one Congressmen and twenty-three Presidential Electors. Garfield’s plurality of 34,000 is the great- est that Ohio has given for a Presidential candidate since 1875. The plurality for Harrison in 1892 was 1072. Brough’s ma- jority in 1868 was 101,000; the nex largest majority ever given was 64.000. The ma- jority for Governor last year was less than 17,000. Notwithstanding the fact that the Populist party that polled 52,000 votes last year and the National Prohibition party have fused with the Democrats, I see no reason to change the opinion expressed by me one week ago—that Ohio would give McKinley a greater majority than she ever gave to a leading candidate on the State or National ticket with the possible exception of that given to Brough for Governor in 1868, Neverin the history of the Btate has there been a political contest of the char- acter and magnitude of the one just araw- ing to a close. We have an absolutely perfect organizati on. The record of for- mer campaigns does not show any parallel in the number of public meetings that have been held this year. One feature alone of our work has been the distribu- tion of over 15,000,000 documents, which, if equally apportioned to Republicans, would make an average of about thirty to every such voter in the State. The great- est total vote ever cast in the State was 861,000 for President in 1892. The indica- tions point to a total vote this year of 925,000. We will most certainly elect nine- teen of the tw enty-one Congressmen. C. L. Kurrz, Chairman Republican Btate Executive Committee. UTAH. SALT LAKE, Urag, Oct, 31.—The cam- psign in Utah, which practically closes to- night, was perhaps the most uninteresting waged in any State. The free silver advo- cates are in such an overwhelming major- ity that the opposition almost I8t it go by default. It is conceded that the Demo- cratic, Silver Republican and Populist fu- sion on the Bryan electors will carry the Siate by an overwhelming majority; that the McKinley electors may get 20 per cent of the votés to be cast and that the Falmer and Buckner electors will do well if they get 1 per cent of the total vote. There is no fusion on the Congressional ticket. Juage W. H. King is the Democratic nominee, Lafayette Holbrook the Repub- can and Warren Foster the Populist. Holbrook 1s not considered sufficiently strong for silver to satisfy the silver ele- ment, while King is ultra silver and will pull heavily from the Republicans, and his opponents concede he will beyond doubt be elected. The Populist candidate cuts no figure either way. The only real contest ison the Legislature, which will elect & United States Senator. Both Republicans and Democrats claim it, with probably about even chances, but whichever party wins Will send a free suver man to the Senate. The principal speakers in the campaign on the Republican side were Senator Brown, Juage Bennett, John M. Zane and ex-Governor Thomas, and on the Demo- cratic and fusion Judges Powers, King and Thurman, and Z Varian, ex-Con- gressman J. L. Rawlins, David Evans, Frank B. Stephens and Fisher 8. Harris, Benator Cannon and Congressman Allen. IDAHO. BOISE, Iparo, Oct. 31.—The most in- terest in the campaign in Idaho centerson the Senatorial fight between Dubois, the present Republican free-siiver Benator, and some Populist, probably Claggett. To-night the Dubois managers claim & A small :najority of the Legislature, whila' the Democratic-Populist fusionists accord Dubots only, twenty-five votes, thirty-six being necessary to elect, and the chances are that Dubois will be defeated and the Benatorial toga go to some Populist in ursuance of the agreement between the 5emuerfl ts and Populists. Everybody - concedes that the Bryan electors will carry the State, and it is i only a question of how large the majority will be, although the McKinley people, headed by Senator Shoup, claim if the campaign had lasted thirty days longer | they would carry the State jor the Major. The Congressional contest between Mor- rison (McKinleyite), Bohr (Silver Re- publican) and "Gunn (Democratic-Pop- ubist) fusion candidate, is sufficientiy warm to be interestin., and the man- agers of each claim the victory. Bohr's jand Gunn's supporters are, however, more confident than Morrison’s. The friends of David H. Budlong, gold Republican candidate for Governor, con- cede his defeat, he having a bard combi- nation to run against in Steiuneberg, the nominee of the Democrats, Silver Repub- licans and Populists. The chances of Congressman Wilson (8ilver Republican) and R. P. Charles (Democratic-Populist) for election as Justice of the Supreme Court are considered about even. Cons derable stir_has been made abont alleged Mormon Church influence being used against Senator Dubois. The’church denies it, and there was probably not as much in it as was supposed. NEBRASKA. LINCOLN, NesBr, Oct. 31.—The most exciting and stubbornly contested volit- ical campaign in the history of Nebraska virtually closed to-night with big meet- ings at nearly all the larger towns of the State. Every county has been thoroughly covered, not only by local talent but by speakers of National fame. 1In this re- spect the Republicans have led, securing the services of ex-Senator Farwell of Chi- cago, Senator-elect Foraker of Ohio, Con- gressman Gunster of Wisconsin, R. G. Horr of Michigan and Bourke Cockran. For the Silver Democratsand Populists, between whom " fusion has been estab- lished, not only on the National candi- dates, but for the State and “Jongressional tickets, but few speakers have been im- ported. Generals Falmer and Buckner only have appeared for the National Dem- ocrats. Conservative men generally admit that the contest will be close. Chairman Posts claims the State for McKinley by 18000 and insists that John H. MacCall, for Governor, will fure as well. Chairman Edmiston for the Populists and Chairman Dahlman for the Democrats, whose inter- ests are identical, place the plurality for Bryan and silver, Asa Holcomb for Gov- ernor, as a result of fusion, at 25,000. 8. Bibb is the National Democratic nomi- nee and his managers make no claims. The present outlook is that the Repub- | licans will carry the First, Second, Fourth and Fifih Congressional Districts and the fusionists the Thira and Sixth. COLORADO. DENVER, Coro., Oct. 8L.—Indications are that Bryan will carry Colorado by a majority of 100,000. S nator Wolcott, who {1eads the McK nley forces, hopes to secure 50,000 votes, but the Bryan mansgers will not concede McKinley more than 25,000, which would give Bryan over 100,000 ma- jority. There are three State tickets—a tusion of Demncrats and Silver Republi- cans led by ex-Governor Adams, a tusion of Populis's and National Silver party led | by Judge Bailey, both for Bryan electors, and a straight Republican McKinley ticket, headed by Juage Allen. The Adams people to-night claim the ex-Gov- ernor’s election by 10,000. Mr. Bailey’s managers assert that Judege Bailey will carry the State by fully 20,000, and that Allen will be second in the race. Ex-Gov- ernor Waite is also a candidate for Gover- nor, but is not regarded as a factor. IOWA, DES MOINES, Towa, Oct. 31.—The cam- paign in Jowa, which practically closes to- nigit, has been the most active and ab- sorbing the State ever knew. Both sides have conducted vigorous and well organ- ized carepaigns. Cockran, Allison, Thurs- ton, Horr, Palmer and Buckner; Sickels, Alger, General Howard, SBenators Stewart and Teller: W. E. Mason of Chicago, For- aker and other National characters, as well &s a multitude of lesser lights, have taken active parts. Mr. Bryan has thrice crossed the State, the last time to-day, when he had im mense meetings along the {line of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. The Democrats and Populists bave fused. Republican managers claim the Btate by 75,000 and the Democrats say they witl earry it by 15,000 to 25,000. Com- mon opinions are that the Republicans will safely carry the State. The Republi- cans claim every one of the eleven Con- | gressmen; the Democrats claim they have good chances to carry five. Indications are the Regublic:ms are practically sure of nine and that the Democrats have fight- ine chances for two. The State tickets i will run with the National tickets and the Republicans confidently claim tte elec- tion of their ticket. WISCONSIN. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 31.— The campaign in Wisconsin is over, the Re- publican and Democratic chairmen have issued their final orders and estimates and now the voters will do the rest. The Re-| publicans bave put up a splendid cam- paign in Wisconsin. Chairman Coe of the State Committee issued a statement to- day claiming the State by 71,000 plurality for McKinley and Hobart and the election or the whole Congressional delegation. Bets are two to one that McKinley carries the State by over 25,000 plurality. = Perfect fusion. between Democrats and Populists obtains on the electoral, State, Congres- sional, legisiative and many county tickets. MICHIGAN. DETROIT, Mica., Oct. 3L.—The Repub- lican and Democratic Central Co mmittees in this State mgke contradictory claims. The Republican *Commiztee claims that McKinley will cafry the State by 20,000, of which 10,000 is expected from the upper peninsula. Ten Congressmen sre also claimed, two being conceded to the Demo- crats. The committee declines to state which districts 1t expects to lose. The Democratic Commiitee says that its in- formation shows a Bryan majority of 32,000 in the State. On Congressmen it “ley to succee | the fusion nominees. expects to carry the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,” Sixth, Seventh, Bighth and Tenth districts, with a fighting chance n the Ninth and Eleventh. On the State ticket, Pingres (R.) for Governor is expected to run behind Mec- Kinley by both parties, and 8ligh (fusion) to run abead of Bryan. Sligh will receive many R.ernbhcn and go!d Democratic votes which will not go to Pingree. .The | tailroad and business. interests which Pingree has been antagonizing while l(:yor of Detroit are expected to cut his vote, KENTUCKY. LOUDISVILLE, K., Oct. 31.—The bitter- est political campaign ever waged in Ken- tucky closed to-night with excitement at wholesale. More speeches have been made in Kentucky this fall than in any two previous campaigns. Violence has been a frequent occurrence at political meetings and several deaths have resulted irom quarrels which arose at these gatherings, The principal free silver Democratic ora- tors were Senator Blackburn, ex-Governor John Young Brown, Governor Stone of Missouri, General P. W. Hardin and Bryan, who made about fifteen s hes in the State. The Republicans had in the field Governor Brad.ev, United States Senator krye, Jobn W. Yerkes, Alger's Union generals and ex-Chiel Justice E. W. H. Holt. The National Democ; were represented by Becretary Carlisle, Bourke Cockran, John R. Fellows, Unite Siates Senators Lindsay, Caffery, Palmer and Buckner, and ex-Congressman W. D. Bynum. Chairman Roberts of the Republican campaign committee claims the State for McKinley by from 15,000 to 25,000 He alsd claims nine Congressmen, including Colonel Breckinridge, and a fighting chance for two more. Chairman Sommers of the free silver Democratic campaign committee says that Bryan wiil come to Louisville with 29,000 plurality. He concedes Louisville to McKinley by 3000. Mr. Sommers elaims eleven Congressmen. The free silver Democrats and Populists have fused on the electoral ticket and on Congressional candidates in oll but two aistricts. The Populists have two representatives on the electoral ticket and these will bring 10.000 Populist votes to Bryan. Chairman George A. Davis of the Na- tional Democratic State Central Commit- tee estimates that there are 50,000 Demo- crats who will not vote for Bryan. He does not state how many of these will vote for Palmer and Buckner, but the indica- tions are that McKinley will get the big- gest part of this vote, especially in Louis- ville. There are eizht vacancies in the Legis- lature to be filled, and upon the result de- pends the control of that body. If the Republicans secure seven, which is not unlikely, they will elect Governor Brad- Senator Blackburn at the coming extra session. If the Democrats secure & majority Secretary Carlisie will be elected Senator by a combination of Republican and gold Democratic mem- bers. CONNECTICUT. NEW HAVEN, Coxx., Oct. 3L.—Chair- man Troup of the Democratic State Com- mittee said to-day that, based on the fig- ures submitted by the members of the State Committee at vesterday’s meeting. McKinley has an apparent majority of 8000 in the State, Personally he believes that Bryan will carry the State by a com- fortable working majority. ILLINOIS. CHICAGO, ItL., Oct. 31.—The political situation and election probabilities from the Democratic-Populist fusion point of view was summarized as follows by Secre- tary of State Hinrichsen: The condition of the Democratic party has improved greatly during the last ten da; The effect of Bryan’s tour through the Si and his speeches in Chicago is plainly percep! ible in the increasing Democratic confidence and enthusiassm. We have more votes in Chi- cago then the Republicans have, sud Ilook for & majority in this city. The State outside is overwhelmingly Democratic, and, making every allowance for doubtful voters and sur- lus enthusiasm, I feel that we shall carry this Emle for the whole ticket by 25,000 or 30,000 plurality. We will elect fourteen of the twenty-two Congressmen without question, aad may elect sixtéen. We will electa majority of the As- sembly, while the Republicans will control the Senate, owing to thelarge number of hold- overs. The Populists will hold the baiance of powerin the joint assembly, which insures the election of a silyer United States Senator to succeed Palmer. Altgeld will lead the ticket in Chicago and the laboring centers outside. Bryan will probably run ahead in the agricul- tural districts, Chairman Hitch of the Republican State Central Committee gave to the United Associated Presses to-night the following statement as to the situation and election probabilities in this State: The election Tuesday will give McKinley and the Republican Siate ticket the most de- sive plurality ever known in [llinois. The aim of the Bryan people that they have a chance of carrying Illinois is just as absurd as their assumption that Ohio is in doubt. The Republican vietory in this State will be 5o sweeping and overwhelming as to obliterate the free-silver heresy, Gaptain John R.Tan- ner will defeat Governor Altgeld by the largest majority ever given for a Governor and the whole State t: t wiil approximate closely the vote of Major McK inl MISSGURI. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 3L—With the pa- rade of the Repablican clubs this after- noon, a similar demonstration by the! Democratic clubs to-night and the speech of General Paimer of the National Demo- cratic party this evening the political campaign of 1896 is practically ended in Missouri. Chairman Cook of the Demo- cratic State Committee declares that Bryan will carry Missouri by 50,000 ma- jority and that the Congressional delega- tion will be about equally divided. Lon V. Stenhens, Democratic nominee for Gov- ernor, will probably be elected by 30,000 vlurality over R. K. Lewis, Republican. This is assured by the recent withdrawal of Jones, the Populist nominee for Gov- ernor, and the allotment of four Demo- cratic Presidential Electors to_the Popu- lists. Chairman Filiey of the Republican State Committee does not concede Mis- souri for Bryan and insists that there will be a solid Republican Congressional dele- eation from this State. He also claims that Lewis (R.) will be elected Governor. WYOMING. CHEYENNE, Wyo, Oct. 31.—The cam- paign in this State bas been an unusually warm one and it closes with leaders of both parties claiming the victory. Itis certain that the result will be close and the majority either way is likely to be small. A middle-of-the-road Populist ticket is in the field, and, although it has been denounced by the National chair- man, will undoubtedly take votes from The principal fight has been between ex-Governor Osborne, nominee for Congress on the fusion silver ticket, and F. W. Mondell, the Republican incumoent. Most of the work here has been done by State speakers. While silver sentiment is strong here and the chances are in favor of a victory for the fusion ticket, the majority will not be more than 1000. Republicans declare that they have a thorough organization and that their polls show & safe majority for McKinley, INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Oct. 31.—The campaign in Indiana closed to-night with the return ot General Harrison from his victory as the leaders of the other side and claims the State for Bryan by 3000. Fusion in this State has been perfected as never before, and as no candidates for Palmer and Buckner electors have been put in the field it wil! make the situation more barmful to the Republican Mfli" The Republicans ar: firm 1n the belief that they will carry the Congressional and National ticket by ‘a large majority. MONTANA. BUTTE, Moxr., Oct. 3L.—It is generally conceded that the entire State fusion ticket will be elected in Montana and that Bryan will carry the State, and Congress- man Hartman, the silver Republican can- didate, will be re-elected over 0. F. God- dard, gold, by 15,000 majority. ARKANSAS. LITTLE ROCK, ARk., Oct. 3L.—The election in Arkansas next Tuesday will be for eight electors and six Congressmen, the State election having occurred in Sep- tember. A solid Democrauic Congres- sional delegation will probably be re- turned. The Republicans have full elec- toral and Congressional tickets in the field. The Populists made no nomination for Congress and will support the Democratic candidates except in Comgressman Mec- Rae's distriot. J. R. Sovereign, one of the fusion electors, is ineligible on_account of his failure to pay his politax. The Governor claims the power to name his successor and will do so after the election. The Republicans will contest the right of the Governor to do so and the courts will be called upon-to settle the question. MINNESOTA. ST. PAUL, Mixx., Oct. 31.—The cam- peign in Minnesota practically closed to- night in a big snowstorm. The leading address to-night was by Roswell P. Flowerin St. Paulin the interest of Palmer and Buckner. No contest ever brought so many speakers to Minnesota. Both the Republicans and the fusionists profess to be very confident of success. Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee Bixby said that McKinley would carry Minnesota by 35,000, Clongh for Governor by 20,000 and the Republican party would certainly secure six of the Congressman and possibly seven. At Democratic headquarters everybody was confident. Chairman Rosing saia: “Just say that Minnesota is going for Bryan. His majority will not be less than 15,000. Mr. Lind will be elected Governor by 30,000. We shall also carry the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Congressional districts and the Legislature.” here has been complete fusion on the part of the Democrats, Populists and free- silver Republicans on electorial, State ticket and Legislature. LOUISIANA. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 31.—Reli- able information from all the parishes of Louisiana indicates that the election on Tuesday will result as follows: Bryan’s majority in the State will be 85000 or 40,000, The four Populist electors who are on the regular Democratic ticket, as a re- eultof the fusions of the Demecrats and Populists, will cast their votes for Bryan and Watson, leaving four electoral votes to be cast for Bryan and Sewall by Louis- iana. The Repubticans have a good chance ta_cury'tho ‘hird Distri ALABAMA. BIRMINGHAM, Ara., Oct. 8L—A con- servative estimate, considerably below that of Chairman Shelley of the campaign committee, places Bryan's majority =zt 40,000. The middle-oi-the-road element will stick to Watson, but its strength has been overestimated. FLORIDA. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Oct. 51.—The inaications are that Florida will give her four electoral votes to Bryan and Sewail ‘next Tuesday, though the gold Democrats and Republicans express themselves as not without hope. The Legislature, which is overwhelmingly Dem ocratie, will elect a successor to Senator McCall. VIRGINIA, RICHMOND, Va.,, Oct. 3L—Virginia votes Tuesday for Presidental electors and Congressmen only, and the prospect is that a very large vote will be brought out. The canvass has been one of the most heated in years, and personal feeling has entered very largzely into it, especially be- tween the regular and the N nal Demo- crats. Both the Republican and Demo- cratic parties claim the State on the National ticket, but will give no figures. There is hardly reason for doubt, how- ever, that it will o Democratic. TEXAS, AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 3L—J. W. Blake, chairman of the State Democratic Execu- tive Committee, says that Bryan and Sewall will undoubtedly carry this State by at least 60,000 majority. Furthermore, he says every Democratic nominee for Congress will be elected, and the State ticket will receive a very large pluralty. The Republican Committee, however, is inclined to doubt these claims as to ma- jorities, and say that there will be a sur- prise for the Democracy when the ballots are counted. Inasmuch as fusion was arranged be- tween the silver Republicans and Popu- lists there does not appear to be much room for speculation as to whether Bryan will secure the electoral vote from the Lone Star State. McKinley, it is be- lieved, will bardly receive 200,000 votes out of a possible total of 475,000. It looks as though Culberson (D.) for Governor will be defeated by Kearby (Pop.), due to the Republican and sound money Democratic vote going for him. The sound money men claim they will elect three Congress- men. KANSAS. TOPEKA, Kas., Oct. 31.—The Demo- crats and Populists who have fused on State, electoral and Congressional tickets claim the State by not less than 20,000. The Republicau managers issued a state- second tour of Indiana, and big demon- strations by both parties in this city. Chairman Martin of the Democratic State Committee, figures that Bryan will carry the State by 40,000. He says he expects 20,000 Populist votes, the fusion being sat- isiactory, 10,000 silver Republican votes and 8000 Prohibition votes. From this he deducts 5000, his estimate of the gold Democrats’ votes, thus obtaining the re- sult of 40,000. The Republican managers claim the State by from 50,000 to 60,000, basing this claim upon their poll and the expectation of capturing the large doubtful voie shown by it. An estimate by coun- ties, based upon their last })oll, giving the Democrats 60 per cent of this doubtful vote, gives the State to McKinley by 26,660, elects nine of the thirteen Repub- lican candidates for Uongress and gives the Republicans ninety of the one hundred and fifty members of the Legislature on joint ballot. The Democrats claim eight of the Congressmen and a wajority in the Legislature, due to fusion in thirty-nine legisiative districts. NORTH DAKOTA. FARGO, N. D, Oct. 3L—Never in the history of the State has so much interest been taken in politics. Chairman Cooper of the State Republican Committee is con- fident of the success of the State ticket as well as the Presidential ticket. The Re- puolicans claim the State at this time by 2500 majority. Polis have been taken and this is a conservative estimate. Chairman Kleinogle of the fusion State Committee is equally as confident of | ment to-night in which the electoral vote is claimed for McKinley by 10,000 major- ity. The fusion forces say they will carry four and possibly five of the Congres- sional districts, and elect a Legislature that will choose a free-silver man for the United States Senate. MASSACHUSETTS: BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 31.—Never before in its political history has the Democratic party of this State found itseif in such a lamentable condirion upon the eve of an election as now. Divided against itselt upon the currency question, and again di- videa upon matters concerning the State party organization, it is in such a state that no reliable estimate of its strength in the coming election can be obtain No Democrat imagines for a moment that Williams wul.i. elected Governor, and there are those who say that he will not even carry Boston. In the Congressional fight the Ninth District (Fitzgerald’s) is the ouli one of which the Democrass feel sure. The Re- publicans predict a very largely increased plurality for their tickets, both National and State. By some it is estimated that Wolcott’s plarality will reach nearly 100,000. As to Congressmen, the Repub- licans claim eleven of the thirteen dis- tricts as a foregone conclusion, with a fighting chance in the other two. NEW YORK. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3L.—The two great parties have concluded the work of the campaign and their headquarters were practically eloved last night. The Repub- lican leaders are full of hope and pu their majority at 200,000. Charles W. Hackett, chairman of the Republican State Com- | mittee, thinks McKinley’s plurality will be 300,000, and expects to elect sound money Congressmen in every one of the thirty-four Congressional districts, He believes Frank B. Black, sound-money Democrat for Governor, will be elected, althouzh by a somewhat smalier plurality than that for McKinley. He is of the &rim»n that New York will give at least ,000 plurality for McKinley. Eliiott Danforth, chairman of the Demo- cratic State Committee, disputes this, however, and says Bryan ana Sewall will carry the State. The campaign in this city, barring to-day’s big celebration, was one of the quietest ever known. Tam- many Hall, notwitistanding the defection of many of its prominent men, carried on a faithful and active campaign against al- most insurmountable odds. National Demucrats of prominence last night issued an address o Democrats appealing to them to cast their votes for Palmer and Buckner rather than for McKinley. This was based on the fact that in this State ‘‘the success of sound money is sure,’”’ and it says the most favorable outcome of the campaign will be a large Palmer vote so that the Democrats of the country will hereafter stand on Democratic ground. NEW JERSEY. TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 8L.—The contest in this State has been a bitter one, and the situation at its close is very complex, L. F. Fuller, chairman of the People’s arty executive committee, claims that ryan will carry the State by a comfort- able mljor%tvy, bat this the Republicans dispute. ith the Vice-Presidential nominee a resident of this State they claim that the carrying of the State for McKinley and Hobart is an assured fact, VERMONT. MONTPELIER; Vr., Oct. 31.—It is not expected that Vermont, which has been for years classed in the sure Republican States, will furnish anything of a sensation next Tuesday. The chairman of the State Central Committee placss McKinley's ma- jority at 20,000. NEW HAMPSHIRE. CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 3L—The utmost confidence is felt at Republican headquar- ters. McKinley's plurality is fixed at 20,000, with a probability of these figures being increased. The Legislature will show Be&mblican gains, and they expect a two-thirds majority in each brarch. SOUTH DAKOTA. YANKTON, 8. D., Oct. 3L.—The Re- publican managers claim the State by a majority of 10,000. Chairman Elliott of the Republican State Central Committee and National Committeeman Kittredge estimate the election. ot ninety-three out of 126 members of the Legislature, which insures the election of a Republican to succeed Kyle, TENNESSEE. MEMPHIS, Texsw., Oct. 31.—Both par- ties are laying claims to Tennessee, the Republicans by a majority of 8000 to 15,000 and the Democrats from 30,000 to 50,000. So far as the National ticket 1s concerned there is no question of Democratic success, despite the effortsof a few Populist lesa- ers to deliver much of that party’s vote to ibe Republicans. As between ex-Gov- ernor R. L. Taylor and G. H. Tillman, Democratic and Republican Gubernatorial candidates respectively, the situation is badly mixed, yet the former in his cam- paign has been accorded every evidence of heroic support by his party, There is no fusion on Presidential electors. MISSISSIPPL JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 31.—Mississippi, never looked upon as doubtful, has experi- enced a quiet cam paign except when dis- turbed by rival candidates for Congress. State Chairman Miller claims it for the Democracy by 75,000. It has only straight tickets. PENNSYLVANIA. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 3L.—The Presidential campaign in Pennsylvania has not been a particularly active one. Bryan has made speeches at Philadelphia and- Pittsburg and ‘also at some of the smaller towns in the western part of the State. Generals Palmer and Buckner spoke at a meeting in Philadelphia and ex-Postm :ster-General Wanamaker has rsn-as numerous speeches throughout the tate. The election in this State is for Presj- dential electors, two Congressmen at large, twenty-eight district Congressmen, twenty-five State SBenators (a half of that body) and 204 members of the House of Representatives—the full membership. The new Legisiature will elect a United States Senator to suceeed J. Donald Cam- eron, whose term will expire March 4, Tne Republicans will undoubtedly have a large majority inthe State for their electors and for the two Congressmen-at- large, and, it is believed. will elect at least twenty-four of the twenty-eight district Congressmen. MARYLAND. BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 31.—The lead- ers of the two big partiescontinue to claim everything, but conservative Democrats acknowledge that the State wiil in all nrobability give its electoral vote to Mc- Kinley by upwards of 10,000 plurality. The only uncertain _element in the State is the labor vote in Baltimore. The indications also point to the certain election of four Republican Congressmen, which would be an increase of one. Itis possible that they may gain two. The only district of which the Democrats are sure is the First. MA PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 8L—Since the September election nothing has been done in politics m Maine, both parties slacking their exertions. The four Cen;renmanl being salready elected by an agreed plurality of 49,500, no other element than choice of Presidential electors comes into the struggle, and the election will be quiet and orderly. McKinley will probably get 50,000 majority. GEORGIA. ATLANTA, GA.,'Oct. 3L.—The result in Georgia is problematical. The Populis's, } haying withdrawn their electoral ticket in Mr. Watson’s own State, the Bryan and Sewall eicctors will receive not only the | Kncliully solid vote of the Democrats, ut also a great many from the Populists. 1t s not believed "that the Palmer ana | Buckner ticket in this State will poll as many as 5000 votes. > McKinley will get the solid vote of the Republicans. It is estimated that the Democratic plurality will be apprexi- mately 50,000, the Democratic State ticket receiving 5%000 majority in the October elections. There seems to bs no doubt that every Democratic nominee for Con- gress will be elected. WEST VIRGINIA. WHEELING, W. Va., Oct. 31.—Chair- man M. O. Dawson ot the Republican Committee claims West Virginia by 15,000, and Chairman Edmiston of the Demo- cratic Committee by from 8000 to 10,000, The chances seem to favor the Repub- licans, a: they have had the best organiza- tion in the 'history of the State. The Democrats figure that the defection in the party will be offset by a gain among free-. silver Republican farmers and among laboring men. GREGON. PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 81,—The cam- paizn in Oregon pract.cally closed this evening. Both sides have put forth every | effort to canvass the interior portion of the State, and itisan open questi. n whether Oregon has been removed trom the list of doubtful States. The showing of the Popu- lists'in the election last June, when the Republican Congressional candidates nar- rowly escaped defeat, has served to mend the breach in local i.epublican ranks and a most determined fizht has been wnged: Conservative Republican managers esti mate McKinley’s majority at from 3500 to 5000, while the f sionists and Populists claim for Bryan from 2000 to 2225. The Republicans depend upon Mulsx_mmn’h County and Portland to give McKinley’s majority. Both the D:mocratic and Popu- list committees drew down the electors nominated in April and put upa ticket containing one Democrat, one Populist and two Silver Republicans. The effect of this has been to alienate both Democrats and Populists, each claiming to have been sold out to the other. It isreally nota complete fusion, There are no Demo- cratic electors except the ticket for Palmer and Buckuer. 4 d The Populists complain they were 8ol out to the Democrats here and their elec- tors withdrawn, and they cannot vote a straight Populist ticket. The Silver Re- ublicans, Peovle’s party and Democrats | Fndorsed silyer candidates, and they ap- ear on the ticket as the Bryan Union ilmu!auic party. In the last election three Representatives to the Legislature were elected on this ticket. The impor- tant question in Oregon is whether Sen- ator %!itchell will be returned to the United States Senate next spring. WASHINGTON. SEATTLE, Wass., Oct. 31.—The cam- paign in this State closed to-day. Each side predicts victory for both Btate and National candidates. Indieations, how- ever, point to Bryan carrying the State. There is perfect fusion of Populists, Demo- crats and Free-silver Repubiicans under the name of the People's party uclgel.. Becretary Thomas Maloney of the fusion campaign committee estimates Bryan’s majority in Washington at 15,000, that Jobn R. Rogers, fusion gubernatoriaf can- didate, will bave 13,000, and that James Hamilton Lewis and W. C. Jones, fusion Congressional candidates, will have large majorities. Speaking for the Republicans of Washington Scott Swetland, chairman of the State Central Committee, gives the followin:: McKintey, 4500; Potter Charles Sullivan, gubernatorial candidate, 5500; 8. C. Hyde and W. H. Doolittle, Congres- sional candidates, 4500 each. The guber- natorial contest will he close. NEVADA. CARSON, Nev., Oci. 31.—The Silver- Democratic fusion managers claim Nevada for Bryan by 5000 plurality. The Repub- licans claim Bryan’s plurality will not ex- ceed 2500 and that the Republican candi- dates on the State ticket will poll one-third more votes than McKinley. ‘The Repub- licans have hopes of Murphy’s election for Jastice of the Supreme Court. The Popu- lists claim that J. C. Doughty will defeat | Congressman Newlands. Ormsby, Doug- las, Storey and Washoe counties will go Republican on the legislative ticket.

LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 3).:—’!'11. most surprising slump ever known_ in any campaign has taken place here dur; g the past few days, to the demoralization of the Popocrats. Scores of Democrats who have said nothing neretofore have come courageously to the front and annognced their determination to vote for McKinley, McLachian and the Republican county and tickets. McLachlan is likely to have a majority of 10,000 in his district, wh ile every Popocratic candidate for the Assembly in this county 18 sure of defeat. The second poll of voters in & greater part of this county has been completed and shows the most grati.ving strength for the Republican ticket. , The first poll indicated a Republican majority in the county of 1500, but. owing to the remark- able slump to McKinley, the later one in- dicates a majority of 4000, while the nom- inal Republican majority is only 2000 in the county. The canvass was made by non-partisans, with instroctions not tosay to the people for which party the informa- tion was sought, and it must, therefore, be regarded as absolutely reliable, 3 Comparisons have been made with neighboring couuties, with the result that 1t mav be safely predicted that McKinley will go to the Tehachapi with 10,000 ma- jority. > The State League of Republican Clabs, which has its headquarters hers, has not been idle along the lines of securin: polls and makin : estimates. Conservative fig- ures for the State given out to-day place 15,000 majority in the McKinley column. The registration in this county has mA.

Total, 20,500. My estimate of the vote in side of the city is as follows: Bryan, 6000; Levering, 1100. Total, 14,500. This would make the total vote in Los An- geles County as follows: McKinley, 18,400; Bryan, 14.300; L , 2000; Palmer, 800} total, 35,000; Mc v's plurality, 4100; Mc- Kinley’s majority over all, 1800. This estimate is made from as thorougha knowledge of thee situation in_Los Angeles County as it is possible to obtain and from a careful study of the vote in former polls. - A Surprise at San Luis. SAN LUIS OBISPO,CAL., Oct. 31.—At the silver rally in this city to-night, 4 demon- stration for McKinley took place that was as unexpected to the Popocrats as it was spontaneous. The speaker, Barlow, had begun one of his characteristic harangues, and after the applause at the mention of Bryan’s name had subsided, referred to William McKinley and then paused, finally saying in a sneering way: “'I am waiting for the applause.” The reply was startling and instantaneous. As one man that biz audience, balf of whom wore the yellow badge of zood government, arose and yelled for McKinley, and they kept it up, too, until the paralyzed speaker had time to recover himself and proceed with his speech. = An army-— yes, a great big army—of men have used the Doctors’ prescription Hudyan and have been cured — every one of them.
