NATIONAL POLITICS.
ouAY's FIGURES ARE ABSURD.

Chisago.-Chairman Jones, of the DEM
ocratic national committee, gives out a
statement characterizing as absurd the
figures showing the probable result of, the
election as given out by Senator Quay.
Chairman Jones states that in all the
states classed by Senator Quay rs doubt
full com plete and harmonious fusion be-
tween the Dem ocrats, Populists and silver
Republicans exists, rendering them GER
tain for Bryan. For the same reasons he
classes as doubtful the states of Iowa,
Ohio and Wisconsin, and claims for Bry-
an the electoral votes of Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,
North Dakota and West Virginia, all of
which were claimed for Mckinley by Mr..
Quay.
The table given out by Chairman Jones
gives 81 votes as certain for Mckinley,
279 for Bryan and 81 as doubtful.
HOT STUFF BY BRYAN.
Staples, Minn.-Yellow badges with the
name Of the Republican candidate for the
presidency were much in evidence when
Bryan emerged from his car at Little
Falls, but there was no shouting for Mo
Kinley. Bryan said:
"You talk to Republican about BIZ
metallism and he will tell you he is just
as good a bimetallist as anybody, but
when you come to see what kind of paper
they print their badges on you will find
it is yellow. My friends, the Lord has
made it impossible for man to conceal
his real identity. Gold standard advo-
Gates dare not proclaim the results of the
policy they advocate. Let them, instead
of wearing yellow badges, print on card,
we are American citizens, but we think
this nation is not big enough to attend to
its own business and 60 out and face
the condemnation of their fellow men,"
(Applause.)
oRAwToRD's PUBLIC APOLOGY.
st. Louis.-Dougald Crawford, the big
dry goods merchant, who discharged a
bakers dozen of his men last Saturday
to vote for Bryan and Sewall, has repent
ed his action, and over his signature, in a
public letter, he says he will take the
men back. In part he says.
"T have invited all of the men to re-
turn to my store and occupy their form
er positions without prejudice as re-
CARDS the future and without loss of
salary since they left my employ.
"A man in anger often makes mistakes,
but I do not believe he loses any of his
manhood by admitting his error. ! de-
sire every man in my employ to vote as
he pleases, but believe that every man
who carefully studies existing conditions
should vote for Mckinley. To allow all
of my employees to vote as they please,
and have ample time to do 80, have
decided to close the store of d. Crawford
& Co. at p. m. on November g."
IOWA FOR BRYAN.
Chicago. Walsh, of the ma
tional Democratic committee, has in his
possession complete poll of the state Of
Iowa, completed within the past week. 1t
shows that Bryan will carry 1t by a ma
jority of not less than $4,000 and it may
exceed $4,000. The poll shows Repub
lican detection on Bryan In every county.
The banner Republican counties of tbs
state are those most seriously affected,
and they will go for Bryan. The Repub-
lican poll comedies 10000 Republicans to
Bryan; the Democratic poll shows $4,000
Republicans in the state as being for
Bryan. What is more, Republicans are
coming over every day in every county,
while the list of Democrats who have
been inclined to vote for Palmer ia grow
ing less, and the indications are that not
more than 1900 gold Democrats will be
found in the state in November.
