AS TO ILLINOIS.
A Careful Poll Of the state shows 1t
safely Democratic by $4,000
Votes.

Chicago ILL.,, Sept. IL With great se-
crecy, but great energy, the Democratic
state committe has been making canvass
of Illinois. II is about completed up
to date, and the result has astonished the
most sanguine of the Chicago Democrats
to whom the facts have been confided.
The committee has sconfldentially informed
Chicago leaders that conservative esti-
mate based on actual lists OF names as
sures Democratic majority of 10000
outside of Cook county and $4,000 in
Cook county--65 900 on the total vote.
The list of names include all former
Republicans who have Joined Bryan and
Sewall clubs or have in other ways declared
their intencion to vote for free silver, and
all Democrats who have bolted or are
suspected of an intention to vote the
bolting ticket. The $4,000 is the net re-
suit of comparing the two list.
In confirmation of the Dem ocratic esti'
mates, a number of Republican aomis-
sions are making things look blue for
Mckinley and black for John R. Tanner
II is ABSOLUTELY certain that prominent
Republican leader from southern Illinois
said emphatically last week that Tanner
was already badly beaten and the Repub-
lican electoral ticket in danger. He
said that the Republican campaign man
ayers privately conceded Tanners defeat,
but hoped to pull the electoral ticket
through, on the supposition that Altgeld's
personal strength in Chicago consider.
able exceeds the strength of the national
Democratic ticket.

It's All Right in Maine.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Senator Jones,
chairman Of the Democratic committee,
when asked for his opinion of the result
of the Maine election said:
sWhen we consider that before the DEM
ocratic national convention was held the
Dem oorats of Maine held convention
and nominated gold ticket on a gold
platform and that they subseq quently re-
considered this, declaring for silver,
and that this was followed soon
by an election at which the
party cast 5000 votes more than 1t
did two years ago, think 1t shows .
marvellous gain for silver. Instead,
therefore, of feeling disheartened over the
result, feel greatly encouraged. II must
be remembered that Maine is in the ex-
treme east, where We never hoped for any
but the most meager results for silver.
The returns ought to add to the hopes of
our friends all over the country"
