TO-DAY'S GREAT FIGHT.
lconciuded from first p.ee.l

most part. feel assured that they will elect
their Governor III this State. and there arc
many who even expect the electoral vote
of Illinois TO be cast for Cleveland. The
Republicans laugh at these predictions.
AMI their state committee appears TO be
confident of Republican victory all along
the line In Illinois The Democratic ma
tional campaign committee, whose West
ern headquarters have been in charge of
Congressman Cable. sent out kilograms To
all local committees IN the Northwest
to-day. assuring them that care
ful poll left no room for doubt of
Cleveland's success in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, and that all that remained was to get
ont the full Democratic vote tomorrow.
This committee has practically managed
the entire Democratic campaign in tue
doubtful States Of the Northwest. Mr..
Gable says: From a careful examination
OF the polls received from this State, be-
ieve the two parties VIII come to Cook
county very nearly even, and that the ma
Jority here Will be over 10000. which Will
give the State TO Cleveland and Altgeld by
handsome majority" Mr.. Cable claims
that the Weaver electors will WIN in South
Dakota; that Wisconsin will give 1900
Democratic plurality outside of Milwau-
kee, and that Iowa is doubtful. with the
chances in favor of Democracy.
To q representative of the Associated
Press Hon. w. j. Campbell, the Illinois
Nom Der of the national Republican COM
mittee, said: II believe that Illinois will
give majority for the Harrison electors
larger that four years ago, and that despite
dor FIfer will be triumphantly elected.
Regarding Wisconsin. my latest informa-
ton IS of so assuring character that /
feel saDguine of majority for Harrison,
and the election of Spooner As Governor by
q plurality of several thousand. / do not
regard Iowa as any more In donbt than
Pennsylvania. i have little information
outside OF newspaper reports regarding
other Western and Northwestern States.
but know that members of the
ton has steadily improved for
q fortnight past. and that the Republican
leaders are sangulne of success every where
except in Nevada. The loss of q portion of
the electoral ticket in Minnesota is pos
sible. but by no means probable. My adj
vices lead me to believe that in Indiana.
while the vote may he close, the chances
are decidedly favorable to the Republic
ans"
The Illinois Democratic State central
committee says: mo one places the Demo-
cratic majority in this State at less than
5000, while many shrewd politicians place
Cleveland's plurality at 10000, and give
Altgeld. for Governor. 10000. We may lose
Offset by the gain of two mem bers at large.
The Republican State central committee
gave out the following statement: 1T is
the opinion of the State central committee
that Illinois will give an increased Repub-
lican majority. Much, however. depends
on the result in Cook county. There is no
question that the State outside will give
President Harrison larger majority than
four years ago. and Governor FIfer will be
little if any behind the President. The
German detection, about which SO much
has been said. has been grossly exaRgerat-
ed. and there are large gains from conserv-
pect to elect thirteen Congress
men beyond doubt, and have
great hopes of defeating Fithian 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 Demo-
Gratis, there Is no question of the elestion of
Republican candidates. and we firmly be-
lieve that we will elect Mr.. Bassett in the
Twenty sixth. Mr.. Fecke In the Forty
second and Mr.. Boston In the Forty eighth.
There ~ little doubt that we Will have con-
troll of both branches of the Legislature
All Senators elected at this election will
participate In the election of q United
States Senator two years hence"
