Little Information
outside of newspaper reports regard
ing other Western and Northwestern
states, but know that members of the
national committee feel that the situa-
ton had steadily improved for q fort
night past and that Republican leaders
are sanguihe of success everywhere eX-
cept in Nevada. The loss of portion
of the electors of Minnesota is possible,
but by no mears probable. My advices
lead me to believe that in Indiana, while
the vote may be close, the chances are
decidedly favorable to the Republicans"
On the situation in Illinois the Demo
cratic state central committee gave out
the following statement:
reports received at this Office indi-
cate Democratic victory in Illinois,
both state and national. We are conf
dent we will brock even at the Cook
county line, that is 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 Cleveland's plurality at l0,0U,, and
give Altgeid for governor 10000 Re-
turns from country districts Indicate
large
Democratic Gains.
1--WE may lose one member of con-
gress, but this will be offset by the gain
OF two members at large.
I'VE have all organization outside of
Cook county that permeateS every school
district in the state, and is represented
by $4,000 workers. while the Republican
organization is represented by only
about $500 workers. Heretofore MANY
Democrats in this state have stayed
away from tie polls. thinking their
votes would do 10 good if cast. This
year our people are confident of victory,
and full Democratic vote can be de-
pended upon. The increased regiStra-
ton i'll Cook county would reasonably
warrant the conclusion reached by those
men who have expressed an opinion on
the majority for the Democratic ticket
in Cook county. The efficient work of
the Western branch of the national
campaign committee, under Chairman
Gable. has been of ineStmable advan-
tage i'll this state, and the party was
never before in better shape"
The Republican state central commit
tee gave out the following statement:
at is the opinion of the Republican
state central committee that Illinois
will give all increased Republican ma
jority, much, however, depending on
The Result III Cook County.
There is no question whatever that
the state outside will give President
Harrison a larger majority than four
years ago, and Gov. Fifer will be little,
ii any, behind the president. The Ger
man detection. about which 50 much
has been said, has been grossly eXag
gerated, and there are large gains from
conservative Democratic sources.
I'VE expect to elect thirteen con-
gressmen beyond a doubt, and have
great hopes of defeating Fitnian in the
Sixteenth and Forman in the Eighteenth
in addition. In the Second, Fourth,
Sixth, Twenty-fourth, Thirty-second
and FOrty-fourth senatorial districts.
which have been claimed as doubtful
by the Democrats. there is no question
of the election OF the Republican candl-
dates, and we firmly believe that we
will elect Mr.. Bassett in the Twenty
sixth, Mr.. Fecke in the Fortv-second,
and Mr.. Boston in the Forty-eighth.
There is little doubt that we will have
control of both branches of the legisla-
ture. A senators elected at this cleo
ton will participate in the election Of
United States senator two years hence.
