IN THE LAST DITCH.
Republicans Will Flood Illinois
With Money.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2-One hundred
thousand dollars in greenbacks and
5000. 900 in ''shin pla>ters," or imita-
ton wildcat money!" will he used
by the republicans IN the attempt to
carry Illinois. The $780, 900 in green
hacks will be used to corrupt voters
and the $500, 900 in "shin plasters' to
delude voters. Not until the opening
of the last week Of the campaign have
the republican managers in this state
realized the desperate situation which
confronts them. For two months they
have been fondly hugging the delusion
that anybody could carry Illinois on
the republican ticket, and it remained
for the National Committee to make
the discovery that unless some steps
were taken Illinois was lost. Chairman
Clark and Doc Jameson called
their committee together and discussed
the situation. 1t was decided that
$1,000 was needed, and fat-frying
committee was appointed. The
wealthy Chicago members of the re-
publican party were plainly informed
that il is a question of money or de-
feat. When argument failed, bull
DOING tactics were resorted to, and
the labors of the committee were
crowned with success. The 500, 900
was in sight yesterday afternoon, and
the republicans are now confident of
CARRYING Illinois. The state will also
he deluged with limitations Of wildcat
currency, accompanied by pamphlets
alleging that the inclosed is sample
of the money that the democrats pro-
pose to inflict on the community in
case of their success.
SPRINGER on THE PROSPECTS,.
CHICAGO, November l.-Congress-
man Springer and Senator Palmer are
domiciled at the Palmer house. They
have returned from a two months pO-
litical tour of the state and are enga-
ged to deliver a number of speeches in
Chicago. They will remain until the
end of the week.
1.-The more | learn of the feeling of
the people throughout the state. the
higher is my hope of democratic Sue
cess" said Congressman Springer.
III the state does not ind itself in the
Cleveland column | shall he disap-
pointed. know that many compe-
tent judges will share nv di-appoint-
ment. There is not Il point in the
country districts where visited where
the leaders are not confident OF sub
stantial gains"
with regard to the situation in
general" Congressman Springer con-
tinued, II have not the slightest
doubt about the result. We will
carry Wisconsin sure. In Illinois the
German Lutheran> vote the demo
cratic ticket. | say We will carry
Wisconsin in spite of the recent decis-
ions of the courts. We are sure of
New York, but even without New
York the success of Cleveland is as
sured. may tell Won that my pre-
diction with regard to Wisconsin is
based upon careful analysis OF the
condition of things as they exist in
that State. The Republicans will lose
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, North
Dakota and probably South Dakota.
in addition to Minnesota and Michi-
gan. Mr.. Harrison will lose from 80
900 to 10. 900 votes in the States that
we have conceded to his party in all
previous contests"
