 Chicago, Oct. 26,-The final work of the presidential campaign was entered upon by the campaign staff at repub- | lican national headquarters with ex- pressed confidence in an overwhelming victory for Mckinley. MT. Hanna to- day counted thirty three of the forty five states for the republicans. He will make final and complete statement as to the probable result on Saturday night just prior to his departure for his home. Henry c. Payne, Mr. Han mas assistant in speaking of the Illi- nois situation, said we are confident of carrying the state by 125, ,OOO to 14O,- 900. The entire central west Is also ab- solutely' sure for Mckinley"
 A report received by Colonel Hahn, | II oiil NiictII ulull NOt. Ol ltlG w lSCOuSlu state committee, states there is a rapid improvement in the rural districts of that state since the middle of the modth and the same was true of Milwaukee l MT Coe adds:
 T estimate that Wisconsin Is safely republican by 60,000 to 80,000 plurality l All the ten congressional districts will elect republican members to congress" Chairman Hanna has directed that the following telegram be sent to state chairmen:
 Will you please direct county chair man in your state to make special ef- fort for the celebration of flag day, | Saturday, October 31, by calling on all republicans to assemble in the cities | villages and hamlets nearest their homes and show their patriotism, de- ] votion to country and the flag and their intention to support the party which stands for protection, sound money and l good government by having patriotic speeches and such other exercises as will be appropriate for the occasion and tend to make the day general holiday as far as possible. It is to be hoped that republicans everywhere will unite to dedicate the day to this pat riotic service.
 MT. Hanna said tie had received good 1 reports to-day from California, Kansas, 1 Kentucky, and Michigan, all denoting return movement of silver republi- cans.
 The executive committee of the trades union silver clubs of Chicago, with the | approval of the democratic national committee, has addressed an appeal to the farmers and agricultural laborers of Illinois and of the Mississippi val l ley. The document calls Mark Hanna an industrial cannibal," who has en- deavored to secure the purchasable | vote which always exists in great cen- ters of population" by the lavish and corrupt use of money, and to array that vote against the interests of the agriculturalists Coercion of the in- corruptible age-earners is also freely | charged. It Is estimated that these conditions create menace to the cause we have at heart" and hence the ap- peal to the farmers to redouble their ef- forts to make the agricultural vote of the Mississippi as large as possible for the free silver cause to make up the loss of votes which may result from bribery and coercion.
 Senator Tillman arrived in town to- day from a stumping tour through Or egon and Washington. He said the states he had been speaking in to many thousands of enthusiastic voters would undoubtedly give their electoral votes for Bryan.
 The general attack of the silver forces on Cook county began to-day with meetings all over the city. Gov ernor Altgeid was the chief speaker, but there were many others from out side of Chicago and Illinois. Ministers Joined in the appeal to vote for free silver. MT Bryan will arrive to-mor- row afternoon to make many speeches in every ward of the city. Every coun- ty of Illinois has furnished one speaker, outside of Cook, to join in the attack on the gold position.
 MT. Watson will spend the remainder of the campaign practically in silent disgust, but his letter of acceptance Will not appear in public to hurt the candi- dacy of MT. Bryan. MT. Washburn said:
 There were a, few states where fu- sion was pending ana while we were trying to consummate arrangements it was flashed over the wire that the Georgia and Tennessee democrats had rejected all overtures made by the pop ulists and adjourned without making counter-proposition As these two states were involved in our arrange ments this action rendered it impossible for us to continue negotiations. There will be no further negotiations, and. whether our people and candidate have been recognized to the proper extent or not, our committee desires that every populist shall prove his patriotism in helping at the polls to elect Bryan" Mr Washburn. when asked if he thought MT. Watson's letter of accept ance ought to be published, said:
 'I do not see what good would be &C., complished at this late day by this pub lication, as MT. Watson has made plain the principal points of his letter in his public speeches Therefore I do not fa- vor it's publication"
