NEBRASKA.
LINCOLN (Neb.), Oct. 31.-The most
exciting and stubbornly contested po-
litical campaign in the history of Ne
Draska Virtually closed tonight with
big meetings at nearly all the larger
towns of the State. Every county has
been thoroughly covered, not only by
local talent, but by speakers of national
fame. In this respect the Republicans
have led, securing the services of ex-
Senator Farwell of Chicago, Senator
elect Foraker OF Ohio, Committeeman
Gunther of Wisconsin, r. G. Horn of
Michigan and Bourke Cochran. For the
silver Democrats and Populists, be-
tween whom fusion has been estab-
lished, not only ON national candidates,
but for the State and Congressional
candidates. but few speakers have been
imported. Generals Palmer and Buck
near only have appeared for the Ma
tional Democrats
Conservative men admit that the con-
test will be close. Chairman Post claims
the State for Mckinley by $4,000 and
insists that John H. MacColl for Gov
ernor will fare as well. Chairman Ed
mission for the Populists, and Chairman
Dahlman for the Democrats, whose in
terests are identical, place the plurality
for Bryan and silver. Asa Holcomb for
Governor. as result of fusion, at %
900. r. S. Bibb is the National Demo-
cratic nominee, and his managers make
no claims.
The present outlook is that the Re
publicans will carry the First, Second,
Fourth and Fifth Congressional Dis
tricts. and the fusionists the Third and
Sixth
UTAH
SALT LAKE, Oct 31.-The campaign
in Utah, which practically closed to-
right, was perhaps the most uninter-
esting waged in any State. The free
silver advocates are in such an over
whelming majority that the opposition
at most let it go by default. 1t is con-
ceded that the Democratic-Silver and
Populists fusion on the electoral ticket
Will carry the State by an over
whelming majority; that the Mckinley
Electors may get 20 per cent. of the
votes to be cast and the Palmer-Buck-
ner Electors will do well if they get
per cent. of the total vote.
There is no fusion on the Congress
sional ticket. Judge w. H. King is the
democratic nominee, Lafayette Hoi-
brook the Republican, and Warren
Foster the Populist Holbrook is not
considered sufficiently strong on silver
to satisfy the silver element, while King
is strong on silver, and his opponents
concede that he will beyond doubt be
elected The Populist candidate cuts
no figure either way.
The only real contest is on the Leg
islature, which will elect United
States Senator. Both Republicans and
about even chances, but which ever

interest in the campaign in Idaho cent

Senator, and some Populist, probably
Claggett Tonight the Dubois man
ayers claim a small majority of the
Legislature, while the Democratic-Pop-
ulst fusionists accord Dubois only
twenty-five votes, thirty-six being nee
essary to elect, and the chances are that
Dubois will be defeated and the Sen
atorial toga go to some Populist in pur-
suance of the agreement between the
Democrats and Populsts.

jority will be. although the Mckinley
people, headed by Senator Shoup, claim
if the campaign lasted thirty days long
or they would carry the State for the
Major.
The Congressional contest between
Morrison (McKinleyite). Borah (silver
Republican, and Gum Democrat-Pop-
lilist fusion candidate) is sufficiently
warm to be interesting, and the man

more confident than Morrisons.

COLORADO.
DENVER, Oct. 31.-Indications are
that Bryan will carry Colorado by a
majority of 100000 Senator Wolcott,
who leads the Mckinley forces, hopes
to secure 10000 votes, but the Bryan
managers will not concede Mckinley
more than $4,000, which would give
Bryan over 100000 majority.
