CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE close OF the cam
paign finds both political parties confident
in the northwest. The democrats for the
most part feel assured that they will elect
their governor in this state, and many even
expect the electoral vote of Illinois to be
cast for Mr.. Cleveland. The republicans
laugh at these pretenslons, and their state
committee appears confident of republican
victory all along the line In Illinois. The
democratic national campaign committee,
whose western headquarters have been in
charge OF Congressman Ben Cable of
Illinois, sent out kilograms to all the local
committees In the northwest to-day, assur
ing them that q careful poll left no room
for doubt of Mr.. Cleveland's success in
Illinois and Wisconsin, and all that re-
mained was 30 get out the full democratic
vote tomorrow. This committee has
wsged contest without precedent in the
west. and has made this fght without as
sistance from the national committee at
New York.
CHAIRMAN CABLE CONFIDENT.
Chairman Cable of the western branch
of the national campaign committee this
evening made TO the Associated Press this
statement: Z" In Illinois the democratic
organization was never in better condition.
From all parts Of the state have received
letters showing that the democrats are
enthusiastio over the prospect The polls
sent to this Office show evidences of having
been prepared with more than ordinary
care. The speech Of Wayne MacVeagh last
Saeurday night has been Of vast service in
bringing to our ticket the support of large
class of independent thinkers who have been
republicans, but have agreed with she plat
form declarations rather than the party
action in congress. From a careful exami-
nation of the polls received 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

hIcHIGAN's PROMISE.
"I have just received dispatch from
Hon. d. J. Campau, chairman of the Mich>
igan democratic state committee, in which
he says: We shall do our full duty. Eight
electors at large, a majority of the con-
gressmen and democratic legislature will
be our reward
'In South Dakota, though the democratic
electors remain on the ticket, the state COM
mittee has urged all democrats TO unite and
support the Weaver electors. A dispatch
just received from the chairman Of the
democratic state committee gives me assur-
ance that the Weaver electors will have
fair plurality.
WISCONSIN CLAIMED.
From Wisconsin, Mr.. Wall, chairman
of the democratic state committee, tele-
phoned me this morning that he had no
reason to change the estimate he made pub
lie last Saturday of 1900 outside of Mil =
waukee. He assures me that it Ia all over
but the shouting.
SIN Iowa the democrats have made q
good fight and predict that they will carry
the state. Conservative democrats have as
sured me personally lately that they fell
| confident that the state will be democratic
by larger majority than has ever been
given to the present governor
To a representative of the Associated
press William K. Campbell, the Illinois
member Of the national republican commit
tee said: "I believe that Illinois will give
q majority for the Harrison electors larger
than four years ago, and that despite the
bitter fight waged against him Gov. Fifer
will be triumphantly reelected. Regard
ing Wisconsin, my latest information is Of
such a reassuring character that feel
sanguine of majority for President Har-
rison and the election of ex-senator Spooner
as governor by plurality of several thou
sand. 1 do not regard Iowa as any more
in doubt than Ohio or Pennsyl-
vania. have little information
outside of newspaper reports
regarding the other western and north
western states, but know that the members
of the national committee feel that the
situation had steadily improved for fort
night past and that the republican leaders
are sanguine of success everywhere except
| in Nevada. The loss Of portion of the
electors Of Minnesota Is possible, but by no
means probable. Ny advice leads me to
believe that In Indiana, while the vote may
be close, the chances are decidedly favor
able to the republicans.
A STATE COMMITTEE CLAIM.
On the situation in Illinois the democratic
state central committee give out tine follow
| ing statement:
reports received at this Office indicate a
democratic victory In Illinois. both state
and national. We are confident that the
two parties will come to Cook county
about equal The best informed republicans
and democrats alike concede that Cook
county is democratic. No one places the
democratic majority at less than 5000,
while many shrewd politicians place
Mr.. Cleveland's plurality at 10000 and
give Mr.. Altgeld for governor 20 900. we
may lose one member Of congress, but thi s
will be Offset by gain of two members at
large. We have an organization outside OF
Cook county that permeates every school
district in the state and is represented by
14,OOO workers, while the republican organi-
zatlon is represented by only about 2.60C
