There is no earthly excuse for the return to the conditions that existed before the present adminis- tration.

Fer hour after hour Yhey marched in the rain to testify to their devotion to the cause of the nation and the flag, and it augurs success.” ' Governor Roosevelt then discussed In a general way the national {ssues.

DENVER, Nov. 5—The registration has been largely increased throughout Colc- rado this year, mainly through the ac- tivity of the women voters. In Denver 69,016 names are registered, 20,000 more than in 18%. Charges of padding the reg- istration and colonizing have been made on both sides. On the national ticket the question appears to be merely the size of Bryan's majority. The fusion Stats ticket will not receive the entire Bryan vote, but its success is regarded as prob- able nevertheless. The next Legislature will elect a United States Senator to suc- ceed Walcott, and the fusionists clalm that not over a dozen members pledged to Walcott will be elected. Judge Halett in the United States District Court to- day made an order forbidding United States Marshal Bailey to appoint deputies to serve at the polls to-morrow. Sherifl Jones at Arapahoe County has sworn in 500 or €00 Republicans as deputies to serve at the polls in this city and the Demo- cratic Fire and Police Board has appoint- ed as many special policemen. Feeling is running very high and it is feared conflicts may occur at some of the polling places to-morrow. The Republican County Committee to-day published a list of over 5000 names on the registration lists of persons, who, it is claimed, have no right to vote.

BLOOMINGTON, IlI., Nov. 5.—Adlal E. Stevenson arrived home late last night and spent to-day quietly with his family. To-night he was the principal speaker at the Coliseum, talking an hour on the ques- tion of imperialism. Mr. Stevenson's re- ception by the audience was a great ova- tion. Mr. Stevenson has spoken continu- ously for six weeks in ten States, and he said to-right that he was confident of the election of Mr. Bryan and himself. He will vote early to-morrow and will re- ceive the returns in the evening at his ‘home. Operation on Senator Davis. ST.

MANLEY.” M aEa s o * 'PRETTY DEMONSTRATION AT THE PRESIDENT’S HOME [Called to the Poreh by Cheering Towns- people, Mr. MeKinley Speaks Briefly. ANTON, Ohio, Nov. 5.—The Mec- Kinley lawn, so famous in the campaign of 1%, was to-night the scene of an enthusiastic demonstration similar to that which closed the campaign of four years ago. The President was prevailed upon to depart from his rule, which, in the face of much pressure, has been inflexible all through the campaign, and he made a short address to his neighbors and fellow townsmen, free from partisanship, but apropos. of the election to-morrow. He also introduced Judge Day for a short speech from the famous front porch. The occasion was an unadvertised and unan- nounced serenade by the “Grand Army Band,” with several thousand people fol- lowing the band with cheers and hurrahs and a glare of red fire that illuminated the whole scene about the McKinley home. The band appeared upon the streets some time after dark, and the report that the President was to be serenaded spread Iike wildfire. First a score fell in behind the band, then another score, then hun- dreds, and finally, by the time the McKin- ley home was reached, thousands. Some- where, no one knows how, a supply of red fire torches was secured and they were burning at their height when the cheers of the crowd around the house drowmned the music of the band. Two or three se- lections were played in the street in fron: of the house and then the band was in- vited to the fromt of Mrs. McKinley's which included the amputation of one ot parlor for another selection. After each number there hzd been calls for the President, and finally he appeared on the porch. He bowed to the crowds in front of him and to his right and to his left amid deafening cheers. There were calls for a speech, and some one pulled from the vestibule of the house a relic of the campaign of four years ago, a Ten- nessee stump, with polished top and en- graved emblem, brought here by a Ten- nessee delegation. The President stood upon this and spoke as follows: “My fellow citizens: I am very glad to WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. 5—Henry R. | greet you once more at my old home.

I know you will be glad to hear a word from our fel- low townsman, Judge Willlam Day, wh> has held a conspicuous place in the ad- ministration over which you called me to preside In 15%. I thank you and bid you good-night.” (Tremendous applause.) ‘When the President mentioned the name of Judge Day there was another enthusi- astic ovation and the Judge was con- stantly interrupted by applause while he spoke. RUMORS OF A NEW RAILROAD SYNDICATE The Goulds, E. H. Harriman and John W. Gates Said to Be Interested in It. CLEVELAND, Nov. 5.—The Leader to- morrow will say: According to a story which came out here to-day. a new railroad syndicate has been formed by the Goulds, E. H. Harri- man and John W. Gates. The new syn- dicate has now under its control the Chi- cago and Alton and its allied interests, the Kansas City Southern, the Wabash, the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and other properties in the southwest country. Under the new arrangement these roads are to be put Into the pool. The object is to lessen the competition and to make possible a new through service to the Texas territory, which has not been ob- tainable out of Chicago hitherto. The story has it that the syndicate Is to reach into this territory as well as control cer- tain Western systems by buying in the Clover Leaf and then making overtures for the possession of the Wheeling and Lake Erfe. It is also said to be the nucleus of a larger syndicate in the West that will try to gain control of the larger roads there. 5 Falls Dead on the Street. SAN JOSE, Nov. 5.—Orlando M.
