Another View Of the Contest from Dem-
ocratic Party Leader.


CHICAGO, Oct. 14.--Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic national committee, gave
out statement last night characterizing
as absurd the figures showing the prob
able result Of the election rs given out by
Senator Quay. Chairman Jones states
that In all the states classed by Senator
Quay as doubtful complete and har-
monious fusion between tho Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans exists,
rendering them certain for Bryan. For
the same reason he classes as doubtful the
states Of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin, and
and claims for Bryan 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 tablo
given out by Chairman Jones gives 81
votes as certain for Mckinley, 219 fo-
Bryan and 81 as doubtful.
