"victory is Certain; If We Lose This Bat

Voters Warned to Get to the Polls Early
Largest Republican Plurality Ever
Given Predicted by the Chairman-A
Sense of Personal Responsibility Should
be Felt by Every voter-Chairman

Anyway.
The local republicans were radiant
last evening with the excellent pros
pect of carrying the city and town for
Mckinley Cooke, Dewell and Sperry,
and the whole state ticket. The elec-
ton of their legislative nominees and
Livingston w. Cleaveland for Judge of
probate was just as certain, they said
AS Chairman Macdonald turned his
steps toward his home, leaving the
scenes where the campaign, which is to
be consummated to-day, Mr.. Macdon-
aid said: Boys, it's all right. We shall
carry the city and town of New Ha-
ven along with the rest of the state, for
Mckinley" Continuing, he said:
ITO win this election, all that is
necessary is that every member of the
republican party and every one who
believes in national honor shall come
out and vote on election day.
IF they do this 1 am absolutely cer-
tain that we will go out of New Haven
with the largest majority that has
ever been given for candidates ON any
ticket.
II am not given to chasing rainbows
and seeing visions, and I say this af-
ter having carefully analyzed the sit
uation, and also after having made a
careful canvass Of the city. There are
elements in this campaign that are diff
ferent from any campaign that we have
ever had In New Haven and hard,
persistent fight will be made by the
free silverites. So that if / was to Sc
1ect that particular line which would
be the most effective, I should give
the first place to every mans doing his
duty and making himself personally
responsible in bringing out the voters
of the republican party.
s'Let no man be over confident. The
fight is hard one, and this is no time
for apathy nor to take anything for
granted.
'sWith the splendid nominations we
have on our ticket and every republi-
can voting and voting early in the
morning so as to assist the ward com
mittees in their work. victory is cer-
tain. If we lose this battle in New Ha-
ven 1t will be our own fault"
N. d. Sperry said: 1--WE are going to
have a splendid victory all over the
country, and Connecticut will be found
in the front rank in this fight for ma
tional honor"
Regarding the prospects Of the silver
democrats, Chairman Troup of the
state central committee said yester-
day:
II believe there is a fighting chance
for Bryan in Connecticut. The democ-
racy is gaining ground every day, and
the republicans are losing. The repub-
lican committees are not counting on
the detection from their party. The
silver republicans are unknown quan-
titles, while the gold democrats have
openly declared themselves If the
silver republicans who will vote for
Bryan outnumber the gold democrats
who have deserted and bolted the state
will give it's electoral vote for Bryan.
The democrats will elect the congress-
man in the Second district, eight of the
twenty-four senators and one hundred
of the members of the general assem-
bly, The silent vote that has not de-
clared itself will settle the question.
We expect silver republicans will vote
our ticket by the thousand, and this
our republican friends have failed to
calculate upon. 1t looks bright in Con-
necticut."
The silverites at headquarters last
evening said that Sargent would not
poll the full strength of his party. One
of them said: mo man who fails to
light up his house when there is being
a demonstration held by the electors
whose support he expects can hope to
be voted for by these same electors. ;"
Chairman Troup was not at the head
quarters and the boys spoke "out in
meetin'.'' They have given up the
state but they pretend to think they
will carry the city.
