Cleveland. The Republicans laugh at
these pletensions, and the State Com
mittee appears to be quite confident of a
Republican victory all along the line in
Illinois.
From the branch Democratic National
headquarters here kilograms were sent
to-day to all local committees in the
Northwest assuring them that a careful
poll left no room for doubt of Clevelanu'S
success in Illinois and Wisconsin. This
afternoon the Chairman Of the Western
headquarters gave to representative of
the Associated Press the following state
ment OF the situation in the Northwest:
I'm Illinois the Democratic organization
has never been in better condition. From
all parts of the state | have received let
ters showing the Democrats infused with
the prospect. From a careful eXamina-
ton OF the polls received from this State
l believe the two parties viii come to
Chicago very nearly even, and that the
majority here will be over 1000, which
will give the State to Cleveland and Alt
geld by handsome plurality.
Il have just received a dispatch from
Chairman Campau of the Michigan DEM
ocratlc Committee, saying that the De-
mocracy Will have eight Electors, a large
majority of Congressman and Demo-
cratic Legislature. \ dispatch Just re-
celved from the Chairman of the South
Oak ota Democratic State Committee gives
me assurance that the Weaver Electors
Will have a plurality, carrying out the
policy OF the State Committee in Dakota,
of supporting Weaver Electors. Chair
man Wall of the Wisconsin State Com
mittee telephones me that he has no rea-
son to change MS estimate made public
last Saturday that the Democrats will
have a majority of 1900 outside of Mil
waukee. In Iowa our friends have made
a good fight, and predict that they will
carry the State. l feel that the present
Republican admission that Iowa is fairly
to be counted as doubtful State as much
of victory as | can claim for the party
in State always so overwhelmingly Re-
publican"
Hon. William J. Campbell of Illinois
member of the Republican National
Committee, said to an Associated Press
reporter that he believed tnat Illinois
would give a majority for the Harrison
Electors larger than four years ago, and
that Governor Fifer will be triumphantly
reelected. CampbelPs latest intorma-
ton from Wisconsin is of an assuring
character, and he felt sanguine of a ma
jOrity for Harrison and the election of
Spooner as Governor by plurality of
several thousand. He did not regard
Iowa as any more in doubt than Ohio or
Pennsylvania. Regarding other w est
ern States, he said: 81 know the MEM
bers of the National Committee feel that
the situation has steadily improved for a
fortnight, and the Repub blican leaders are
sangulne Of success everywhere except
in Nevada. The loss of a portion of the
Electors in Minnesota is possible, but by
no means probable. My advices lead me
10 believe, that while the vote may be
close in Indiana, the chances are decid-
edly favorable to the Republicans"
The Indications late tonight are that a
light vote will be polled in many por-
tions of the Northwest, because Of to-
days storm. Dispatches from st. Cloud,
| Northtield, Redwood Falls and other
points in Minnesota report a heavy gale,
attended by snow and rapidly falling
temperature. In Wisconsin, Northern
Iowa and Northern Michigan similar
conditions prevail.
WISCONSIN.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. THE vote in Wis
consin tomorrow will be compared with
that Of 1883, when Harrison received I76,-
553 and Cleveland 155,2 a Republican
plurality of y ,32l. a full vote viii show
an increase of about 5000 voters in the
State over 1888.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
YANKToN Is. d., Nov. lotto Pee
miller, Chairman OF the South Dakota
Democratic Central Committee, claims
South Dakota's four electoral votes for
Weaver by a plurality of $3.50 votes. He
declines to express himself upon the re-
port that the Democratic voters are being
urged to vote for the Weaver Electors,
and not for Cleveland. The Republicans,
however, are confident Of success.
NORTH DAKOTA.
FARGO (N. d., Nov. THE Repub-
lican State Committee claims that the
Harrison Electors will be chosen by from
1000 to 5000 plurality, and that the State
ticket will pull through with good ma
iorities, and that the Legislature will be
Republican. The Democratic State Com
Inittee, which has fused with the Peoples
party, claims both National and State
tickets, the former by from 300 to 600,
and the latter from 1000 to 5000.
Chairman Spalding of the Republican
Committee says careful canvass has
convinced the committee that the Harri-
son Electors will carry the State by 1000,
the Republican Congressman by 800 and
the State ticket by LOCO.
Chairman Maratta of the Democratic
Committee claims the State for the Fu-
sionists by 1000 TO 5000. The Legislature
will be very close, and it is claimed by
both sides.
Conservative politicians place the State
in the doubtful column with the chances
favoring the Weaverites.
