BUFFERS GREAT BLUFF.
Says He Now Has More Hopes Than Ever Of
Byan's Election.

Washington. Oct. Ex-senator Butler
today, said that there was absolutely no
information so far as he was concerned
with respect to the Watson letter.
THE reports We are getting said the
Populist chairman. show that the tide
has turned in favor of Mr.. Bryan in Illi-
nois Just as it did. 10 years ago. in Michi-
gan and Minnesota. When l returned
from the West, 10 days ago, l said that
Michigan and Minnesota were safe for
Mr. Bryan. The Republicans now realize
the condition of affairs and those con-
versant with affairs have practically
given up the fight in that state.
'As to Ohio. that state is now trembling
in the balance and ] believe Bryan will
carry it. l thought so a month ago. but
did not think it wise to make any state
ment of that character. The information
we are now getting is sufficient ground
for us to say openly that the chances are
excellent for Democratic victory in the
home state of the Republican candidate.
II feel more confident, today, of the
election of Mr.. Bryan. than have at any
time since the campaign opened"
