CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE close of the CAM
paign finds both political parties confident
in the northwest. Democrats for the most
pa feel assured that they will elect their
governor in Illinois, and there are many
who even expect that the electoral vote of
the state will be cast for Cleveland. Re
ublicans laugh at these p etensions and
the state committee appears to be quite
confident of republican victory all along
the line in Illinois. From the branch DEM
ocratic national headquarters here tele-
grams were sent to-day to all local COM
mittees in the northwest, assuring them
that careful roll has left no room for
doubt of Cleveland's success in Illinois
aud Wisconsin. This afternoon Chairman
Cable. of the western headquarters. gave
to d representative of the Associated press
the following statement of the situation In
the northwest in Illinoies the demo-
cratic organization was never in better
condition. From all parts of the state l
have received letters showing that the dem
90 ats are infused with the p; osi cot. From
| a careful examination OF POLLS received
from the state l believe the two par
ties will come to Chicago very nearly
even, and that the majority here
will be over 1900, which will give
the state to Cleveland and AltReld by a
| handsome plurality. ! have just received q

the democ acy will have eight electors, n

cratic COMMITTEES gives me assurance that

Hon. Wm. j. Campbell. of Illinois, men,
ber of tho republican national COMMITTEES,
said to the Associated press that he believed
| Illinois would give majority for the Har-
rison electo larger than four yeais ago.
| and that Gov. Flfer would be triunphantly
| re- elected. CampbeiPs lates. information
| from Wisconsin WAS of an assuring char

| lie did not regard Iowa as any moreln doubt
than Ohio or Pennsylvania. Regarding
the other western states, he said: II know
| members of the national committee feel
| that the situation has steadily improved
| for a fortnight ana republican leaders are
| sangulne of success everywhese except in
| Nevada. The loss of portion OF the cleo
| tots in Michigan is possible, but by no
means probable. My advicos lead mo to
believe that while tho vote may be close in
| Indiana, the chances are decidedly fayora'
to the republicans.
