REPUBLICANS NOT ALARMED
OVER EFFECT OF BRYAN'S VISIT
TO CHICAGO.
Chairman Jameson Thinks 1t Will
Tend to Increase the Ma
jOrity for Mckinley.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Telephone mes
paign managers in a constant state Of
activity to-day at Republican National,
State and county headquarters. The
rank and file of the party were con-
cerned about the effect which Mr. Bry-
ans campaign in Cook County might
have on the election day result in the
city and State. To all such inquiries the
Republican leaders returned the answer
that the eleventh hour effort of the
Democrats to capture the majority of
the Chicago voters would not change
any material number of voters already
fixed upon the Republican side, and
there was no fear expressed at any of
the headquarters that any stampede
would result.
The big crowds are accounted for by
the fact that this was Chicago's first
chance to hear and see the Democratic
nominee and hundreds of Republicans
went to each meeting, chiefly from Curl
osity, without having their minds
changed in the slightest.
Chairman Jameson of Illinois. who is
perhaps the most conservative Of any
party leader here when dealing With the
Republican side of the question, said:
Il feel justified in placing Mckinley S
majority at higher figure as the result
of Bryan's visit. There is no such thing
as defeat here. The Bryan and Altgeld
managers are straining every effort to
carry Illinois. The labor vote here for
Mckinley will be bigger than the Demo-
cratic managers have any idea of. We
can allow them 20 per cent of it and win
in a walk"
Fenton r. McCreery of Michigan, late
Secretary of the Legation to Chile, has
returned from stumping tour of Calf
fornia He reported that the outlook for
McKinley's success in that State was
100 per cent, because of division in the
Democratic party over the money ques-
ton. He also stated that General Rose
Grams, Commander of the Army of the
Cumberland, now resident in California
had declared for Mckinley, who served
under the General in the Army of the
Cumberland.
Mr.. Hanna said he had received in
formation from Missouri on which he
based the claim that the Republicans
would elect the Governor, majority OF
the Legislature, which is to name a sue
cessor to Senator Vest, and that the
party stood more than an even chance
of getting the Presidential electors.
The latest reports received by Mr.
Payne were from Indiana. He Sai6
they showed the German vote there wa.
| for Mckinley, and that would save the
day if nothing else did. He called Chair
man Campau's table of the Democratic
estimates ridiculous. AS to counteract
ing the Bryan demonstrations, he sai(

tention to him in this respect for three
weeks.

TOM WATSON ANGRY.
Says He Will Not Alter His Letter to
Suit Chairman Butler.

ATLANTA (Ga.), Oct. 2S.-Thomas E.
Watson wires the journal to-day in
regard to his letter of acceptance ac-
knowledged by Senator Butler to have
been received on Saturday night after
eight days delay:
The letter was mailed from here Oc-
tober 18th, with three two-cent postage
stamps thereon, directed to Hon. Marion
Butler, Washington, d. G. ] do not care
to say whether | think the postal au
thorities at Washington would have
withheld it for eight days. Perhaps Mr..
Edgerton Secretary Of the National
Committee could tell where the letter
has been.
'I had nothing to do with Washburn's
kilograms nor will the letter be altered
to suit Butler"

GAVE A HOUSE AND TWO LOTS
Novel Contribution of Chicago Mer-
chant to Campaign Fund.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S-A novel contri-
button to the national campaign fund
OF the Democratic party, given by Will
lam Hoyt, head of the firm of Hoyt &
Co, importers, manufacturers and
wholesale grocers, came through the
County Committee direct to Mr. Bryan
"a house and two lots at Lincoln, Neb
He did this in lieu of a cash contribu-
ton to the fund. Mr.. Hoyt says:
Wishing to contribute to the noble
cause in which his noble efforts are ac-
complishing so much for our peoples
cause, l have, unsolicited, conveyed to
William ]. Bryan a house and two lots
in his town, Lincoln, Neb. This is one
of several that / have had to take in
place of the money l loaned on the prop
erty. / am rich in real estate that can
not be sold, and poor in cash that is so
hard to get. For this reason I donate
that of which | am over-supplied.
have conveyed the property to Mr.. Bry-
ans name, thinking that under the cir
cumstanceS he could realize more cash
for the party than if made to the Com
mittee on Finance. The abstract here
with shows good title to me. The prop
erty will, no doubt, be worth more than
it is if Mr.. Bryan is elected and we are
to again have prosperity. Otherwise, as
now, it will remain unstable. My books
show the account as real estate. / shall,
however, count it as an asset, and have
it debited as general prosperity on my
ledger, where it will remain until I re-
alize Bryan's election or the same prin-
ciples to be realized four years later"
Mr.. Bryan, on being notified of the
novel contribution, expressed his ap-
probation of the spirit shown by Mr.
Hoyt, and then turned the deed and alb
stract of title over to Chairman Jones,
who will sell it and put the proceeds in
the Democratic campaign fund The
property is worth about $4,000

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Advices from
Simla say the prospects that famine
will occur in India are increasing, and
that the outlook is very serious. In the
northwest punjab and central provinces
there is scarcity of food products eX-

prices have risen materially. The Gov

GREAT INTEREST AROUSED
In the Washing Tub Contest for the Fire
men Bold.-Speciai Prize.

Great interest is being taken in the
which some of Augustus iirenen.
| assisted by several citizens secured
subscriptions for prize OF 500. to pu;
into the winner Of the lot.
The way the contest is conducted is
as follows: The tubs which have en-
tered are arranged along in line, WITH
about 100 feet intervening between
each one. They are connected by hose
\ tank is to be provided from which
Number l draw its water. At the
given signal this tub starts pumping
from the tank into its tub. and from
thence into Number ,; the latter to the
next, and SO on an along the line. II
win be seen that. il any one of the
tubs gets behind the pace set by those
preceding him, it will slop over. This
throws it out of the race. 1t is with
drawn. and the rest so at it again
until it is a case of the survival of the
fttest
If it should happen that Number /
cannot supply the water fast enough,
it is moved down the line. and d
stronger pumper is selected. This
contest is said. by those who have seen
it, to be one of the most exciting and
most interesting ones for engines that
is known. Marshal Morse says that
the races date back OF his time but
that they have the almost legendary
reputation of being very popular in
their epoch Why they ever We're dis
continued is n wonder.
Special invitations have been ex-
tended to companies all over the State
to participate. and there will doubtless
be a big time over it. What with the
other fremens specialties, there will
be a grand affair, all around.
