Chicago, Oct. 5, 1ses.-tspecial 1.-The
political outlook at the close of Sep
TENDER Is Of the most satisfactory char
acter to the Democratic national mana ,
gers, who are confident that the cause
of Bryan n free silver has been re-
ceiving a marked impetus during the
past ter days. From every quarter
especially from the central western
s~tates-comes reports that farmers ev-
~erywhere are tlocking to the Bryan
standard, while in the cities there Is
every indication that an overwhelming
majority of the labor vote will be cast
for the free silver president. In many
of the central western states the Dem
ocratic managers nav completed their
first poll, and the returns indicate that
Bryan will carry every one of them by
Immense m ajorities. A poll Of Kansas
Just completed by the allied free silver
forces shows that the Bryan electors
will have. 90. 900 majority in that state.
A similar poll of Kentucky shows that
Bryan's majority will not be less han
20, 00o. not counting the Republicans
who will vote for free silver. This vote
1t is estimated will swell the Bryan ma
jority to so, 600. The poll shows that
there are less than 5000 gold Demo-
Gratis in the state, and this will mora
han offset the Populist vote.
Fusion between the Democrats, Pop
ulists, Prohibitionists, and Silver Re-
publicans has been consummated in
Michigan, a result, which,, in the minds
Of the most conservative politicians,
gives that state to Bryan by a large
majority. Reports from Ohio received
during the week are of the most fiat
tering character.
FICm nearly every county in the
state estimates have been made. and
they indicate that Mr.. Bryan will car
ry that state by not lass than q. 900 r.a-
jority. The Republicans have complete
ed a POLL Of NebraGi.a, n while they
failed to make it p"iiic, the returns
are known by the Democratic mana
gers, ard show that Bryan will carry
the state by 5000. The Democratic
poll shows that il Will give Mr.. Bryan
more than $4,000 majority.
Estimates from Iowa, by counties,
give that state to Bryan by more han
80, 000. In a majority Of the agricultur-
al counties from 20 to 80 per cent. of the
fSepuDllcdH NOte VIII ne cast IOT Dry
an. while the Democratic detection Is
\ poll of Missouri gives that state
to Bryan by SC. 200 majority, and 1t may
run as high as IL eco.
The Republican poll Of Illinois, which
it is unnecessary to state was not pub
lished, gives to Bryan. outside of Chi
age. a majority Of 25. G00. The Dem
ocratic arvas Of the state gives BY
an nearly 10000 majo~'ty outside Of Chi
cago; while Chicago l. expected to give
him at least 25.GC0 majority. This, de-
spite the fact that the co-roraticns and
large manufacturing Institutions az
making every cfCrt to cCrtr' the vet s
Of their employees by coercion. irt!c?i-
dalton, and false representation. The
labCring men Of Chicago. however. are
aroused over these CutrG gcoLs at
tempts, and the result is that within
the last week a decided change has ia
ken place among the workngmen which
bids Fair to result in a complete land
slide of that vote to free silver. This
Is the case not only in CHICAGO, but in
every large labor center of the coun-
try. Taking the reports from the CEN
