MIDDLE WEST FOR h'KIELEY.
What Warner Miller Says of the
 Situation.
Ills Five Weeks .our of the West Has Convinced Him That Bryan Is Already a Badly Beaten Man-ln- teresting Points.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Ex-Senator Warmer Miller has returned from a five weeks campaign tour in behalf of Mckinley and Hobart in the west Re- garding his experience he said:
 T have been travelling for five weeks past in the states of Kansas. H. linois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, and in that time I have made addresses at forty meetings. As a result of my observation I should say that McKin- ley and Hobart will certainly carry every state north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, the states of Iowa and Minnesota, west of the river; that they will have the best chance of car rying the states of Kansas and Ne braska, will probably carry two or three Pacific coast states, and that no one ought to be surprised if three or four southern states are also carried ! for them. No one who has not been in the west can com prehend the intensity of interest in the political contest this year which is felt there. Why men, in company wi their wives and chil- dren, frequently travel twenty five miles to attend political meeting. '"The meetings are attended by all the voters of every party dn the town. You will thus find the Democrats and Populists at Republican meetings and
 Republicans at Democratic meetings. It is good custom. It enables you to
 put the Republican cause before Dem ocrats and Populists.
 T spent two weeks in Kansas, and
 think myself somewhat competent to
 speak of it. Kansas went over to Popu- lism and had Popuiist governor and
 a Populist senator. AS a consequence
 millions of capital fled from the state
 The mortgages by the thousands upon the farms of the state were foreclosed All the business men saw the great
 damage that had been done and are
 now working hard to carry the state
 for Mckinley and Hobart It is 2
 harder state to carry than some to the
 eastward because they, were Republi cans who entered the Popuist party
 and therefore it is more difficult tt
 bring them back into the fold. Nat
 urally, they do not wish to acknowledg, that they made a mistake when the! JOlHSu uue IOpullSl pdlIy- lu0 SUulll money Democrats are doing excellen work in Kansas as we'll as in othe states, and as might be expected, anN really lahoring to elect Mckinley. } Both Illinois and Wisconsin will g1
 Republican by large majorities. MI
 Payne told me that the Democrati managers were no longer doing an. work in Wisconsin. As for Illinois l one indication may show how the stat 5 will go; the Republican meeting whic, attended at Gerardville was mor
 largely attended than that held in th
 same place which was addressed b Governor Altgeld.
 Indiana and Ohio will go Republi can by large majorities. If any hos : tility toward the east exists in the yves I did not find it D
