CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE close of the
campaign finds both political parties
confident in the Northwest. The Dem
ocrats, for the most part, feel assured
that they will elect their governor In
this state, and there are many who even
expect the electoral vote of Illinois to
be cast for Cleveland. The Republic
ans laugh at these pretensions, and
their state committee appears to be
quite as confident of Republican victory
all along the line in Illinois,
The Democratic national campaign
committee, whose Western headquar-
ters have been in charge of Congress
man Ben T. Cable. of Illinois, sent out
kilograms to all local committees in the
Northwest today, assuring them that a
careful poll left no room for doubt of
Cleveland'S success in Illinois and Wis
consin, and that all that remained was
to get out the full Democratic vote to-
morrow. This committee has practical
ly managed the entire Democratic cam-
align in the doubtful states OF the
Northwest, and, if one or more of these
states should 90 Democratic, it will be
justly regarded as
a Great Victory
for Chairman Cable and his colleagues,
who have waEed a contest without
precedent in the West, and have made
this fight without assistance from the
national committee at New York.
To the Associated Press Chairman
Il, Nh hro,,oh nf thn
national campaign committee, TINS
evening gave the following statement
of the committees opinion Of the situa-
ton in the Northwest and the part
which the committees work Will play
in the general result:
"In Illinois the Democratic organiZa-
ton was never in better condition.
There have been sent from these head
quarters, in addition to more than 3,OOO,-
600 documents bearing on the
questions at issue in the CAM
paign, over 100000 personal let
tiers to individual Democrats through
out the state. these have been sent out
to those engaged in the active work Of
the campaign and also to the large num-
bers of business and professional men,
school teachers, and to those who have
been known to be as ardent Democrats,
but past the time of life when they can
be expected to do active work in CAM
paign. The responses have been more
than encouraging. From all parts of
the state | have received letters show
ing that the
Democrats Are Enthused
with the prospect. The polls sent to
this office show evidences of having
beeu prepared with more than the ordi-
nary care. The speech delivered by
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh last Saturday
night has been of vast service in bring
ing to our ticket the support OF large
class of independent thinkers who have
been Republicans, but have agreed with
the platform declarations rather than
with the party action in congress. From
a careful examination of the polls re-
ceived from the state | believe the two
parties will come to Cook county very
nearly even, and that the majority here
will be over 10000, which will give the
state to Cleveland and Altgeld by a
handsome plurality.
IL have just received dispatch from
Hon. d. j. Campau. chairman of the
Michigan Democratic state committee,
in which he says: The Democracy OF

cratic electors remain on the ticket, the
state committee has urged all Demo
Gratis to unite and support the Weaver
electors. and this has been done in a
large majority of cases. A dispatch
just received from the chairman of the
Democratic state committee gives me
assurance that his state is all right and
that the Weaver electors will have a
fair plurality.
From Wisconsin Mr.. Wall, chairman
of the state committee. telephones ME
this morning that he has no reason to
change the estimate he made public
last Saturday of $4,000 outside of Mil
waukee. He believes that his estimate
has been most conServatively made. and
that tine count will show even larger
gain than has been reported. He
assures me that it is all over but the
shouting.
'In Iowa our friends have made a
good fight and predict that they will
carry the state, feel that the present
Republican admission that Iowa is fair
ly to be counted as doubtful state is
as much of a victory as can claim fol
the party in state that has been SC
overwhelmingly Republican. There is
significance III the fact that the most
Conservative Democrats

personally within the past few days
that they have looked over the ground
and feel confident that the state will be
Democratic by larger majority than
has ever been given to the present gov

majority for the Harrison electors
