Chicago, October 5.-The political OUT
look at the close Of September is OF the
most satisfactory character to the Dem
Ocratic national managers. who are con-
fident that the cause Of Bryan and free
silver has been receiving a marked i'm
petus during the past ten days. From
every quarcer-especially from the Cen
tral Western States-comes reports that
farmers everywhere are focking to tho
Bryan standard, while in the cities there
is every indication that an oyerwheim-
ing majority Of
THE LABOR VOTE
will be cast for the free silver President.
In many of the Central Western States
The Democratic managers have complet-
ed their first poll. and the returns ind
cate that Bryan will carry every one Of
them by immense majorities. A poll Of
Kansas JUS, completed by the allied free
Eilyer forces shows that Bryan electors
will have $4,000 majority in that State.
A similar poll of Kentucky shows THAI
Bryan's majority will not be less than
10000, not counting the Republicans
who will vote for free silver. This vote,
it is estimated, will swell the Bryan ma
ior.ty TO $4,000. The poll shows that
there are less than $1,000 gold Demo-
Gratis in the STATE, and this will more
than Offset
THE POPULIST VOTE.
Fusion between the Democrats. Popu-
lists, PlrohibiJionists and Silver Repub-
licans has been consummated in M.chi-
gan "a result which, in the minds OF the
most conservative politicians, gives thag
State to Bryan by q large majority Re-
ports from Ohio received during the
week are of @ most haLtering character.
From nearly eyeIycOunty in The St2-e
estimates have been made, and they in
dicale that Mr.. Bryan will carry that
State by not less than 25,000 majority.
The Republicans have completed poll
OF Nebraska. and while they failed 10
make it public, the returns are known
by the Democratic managers. and show
that Bryan will carry the State by 25,-
900. The Democratic poll shows that iC
will give Mr.. Bryan more than $1,000
majority.
ESTIMATES FROM IOWA,
by counties. give that State TO Bryan by
more than 10000. In the majority of
the agricultural counties from 20 to %
per cent Of the Republican vote VIII
be cast for Bryan.
A poll of Missouri gives the State %
Bryan by $4,000 majority, and it may
run as high as $4,000.
The Republican poll Of Illinois winch,
ii is unnecessary to state, was not pub
Hshed. gives to Bryan, outside Of Chi
cago. a MAJORITY Of 25.000. The Demo-
cratic canvass of the 5 ate gives Bryan
nearly 10000 majority outside OF Ch.-
cago. while Chicago is expected to give
him at least 25,O00 majority. This, de-
spite the fact that the corporations and
large manufacturing institutions are
making every effort to control the wees
of their employees by coercion, intimida-
ton and false representation. The Ia
boring men Of Chicago, however are
aroused over these
OUTRAGEOUS ATTEMPTS,
and the result is th2t w..hin the last
wee, a decided change has taken place
among the workingmsn which bids fair
10 result in a complete landslide OF thai
vote TO free silver This is the case nc.
only in Chicago. but In every large labor
center of the country. Taking the re-
ports from the Central Western States
and adding them TO the States conceded
by the Republicans, the Democratic
managers claim the following States as
absolutely certain for Bryan:
Alabama. Arkansas, California, Colo
RADIO. Florida. Georgia. Idaho, Kansas.
Kentucky. Louisiana, Mississippi Ms
souri,. Montana. Nebraska, Nevada
North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon,
South Carolina. South Dakota, Tennes-
see. Texas. Utah, Virginia Washington
wyoming. Wcs. Virginia. Delaware,
MARYLAND. Minnesota. Michigan. Iowa
Illinois. Indiana, Ohio-giying Mr.. Bry-
