THESE NOT Contested.
A Few States Where There Is Nc
Conflict of Claims.


PROVIDENCE, R. l., Nov. 2-There
is practically no change in the political
situation in Rhode Island, and the
Republican vote will be the largest
ever east in the state. The Evening
News estimates that OF $4,000 votes
cast Mckinley will receive over $4,000
Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 2.-The indi-
cations point to a quiet day with a.
light vote, the election Of the regular
Democratic candidates for presidential
electors and two Democratic congress-
men being conceded.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 2.-By common
consent the day before election is usu-
ally one of quiet, a sort OF armed truce
being declared before the great work
of getting out the vote. The figures
already sent. indicating a large Repub-
hcan victory, are unchanged tonight.
Augusta. Ga, Nov. PIT is expected
that the Democrats will carry this
state by $4,000 majority.
Columbus. 8. c., Nov. 2.-On the eve
OF election there is no change in the
situation in South Carolina. This
state will go for Bryan by 10000 or So.
900 majority. Every Democratic norni-
nee will be elected.
Reno. New. Nov. 2.-The Democratic
and silver party fusionists claim that
their electoral ticket will carry in this
state by at least 5000 majority, while
Newiand's friends claim even more for
the silver congressional candidate.
Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 2.-There is no
change In the outlook from what has
been previously announced. Demo-
Gratis are agreeing with the Republi-
cans that Connecticut is overwhelmr
ingly for Mckinley. Chairman Fyler.
Of the Republican central committee,
said this afternoon that he believed his
estimate of 1000 for Mckinley, given
out the latter part of last week, is be-
low the actual plurality that will be
given.
jackson, Miss, Nov. 2-Without
doubt every Democratic congressman
and elector will win, the only question
being the size OF the silver majority,
which is estimated from $4,000 to 65,-
COO.
MONTPELIER, VT, Nov. 2.-The vot-
ing tomorrow is simply for presidential
electors and returns are expected very
early. There is much interest ON just
what the state showing will be, and
Chairman MorrilI's prediction of 10000
seems to strike Republicans favorably.
Denver, Col, Nov. 2.-Only the state
ticket is in doubt, as with combina-
ton of the Silver Republicans, Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Silver party for
Bryan, the electors, 1t is conceded, will
carry the state by majority estimated
at $4,000 to 125,000.

SAME OLD STORY
Washington Confidently Claimed by
Both Sides.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2.-On the
eve of election in Washington, the Re
pubhcans and fusionists both claim to
be sure of victory. Chairman Sweat
land. of the Republican committee. has
made a careful canvass of the state
and as a result gives out the follow
ing figures:
Fusionists will come to Western
aShington from the eastern part of
the state with 5000 majority. West
ern Washington will give the Repub-
hcans 5000 majority, making a major
ity Of 5000 for the Republicans in the
entire state. Sullivan Republican, for
governor. will run ahead of his ticket.
Secretary Maloney, Of the fusion
committee, claims everything by a. ma
jority Of from $4,000 to e, 900. He
claims to be absolutely confident Of
carrying the state for the nationl, state
and county tickets. A conservative
estimate might give the governor and
the legislature to the Republicans with
the electoral ticket much in doubt.

PINE TREE STATE.
Republican Majority of About 49,
900 Is Expected.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 1.-The Pine
Tree state will vote for presidential
electors only tomorrow, and the Re-
publican candidates will be elected by
a majority OF over 30, 600 without much
doubt. Congressman were chosen On
Sept. IA. A solid Republican delegation.
The contest Of the campaign in Maine
centered in the recent state election, In
which the currency question was practi-
calIy the only issue. The Republicans
were thoroughly organized, and polled
every possible vote, and the result was
a Republican majority OF about $4,000,
the largest in the history of the state.
For the November election, but little
effort has been made by either side
in the way Of campaign work. it being
a foregone conclusion that there was
no chance for the Democratic candi-
dates. 1t is expected that there will
be slight increase in the Democratic
vote next Tuesday, and some reduction
of the Republican majority, but no con-
siderable change is looked for. The
Populists and Prohibitionists have cleo
toral tickets in the field, as we'll as the
Republicans and the Democrats, but the
vote cast for these tickets will be
small.

That Scrappy Football Game at Min

An evening paper last night charged that

Houghton to disable him. Frank W. Leavitt.
who Is an alumnus of the university, said
yesterday that he was on the line and that
Harding only struck Houghton with his foot
as he was rising from scrimmage. On the
other hand, Mckay, who played with the ex-
coflegiates, says: "No eleven was ever treated
In more brutal fashion that the university
eleven treated us. We we're giving them a.
practice game, and they took advantage of

portion of it which saw the attempt, were

BITTER IN MISSOURI.
But Both Parties Claim the State, as
Usual.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Nov. 2.-Never be-
fore since the war has there been a
campaign in Missouri where there was
as much bitterness of feeling between
the opposing parties as the one which
closed tonight. Some Of the leaders
in both the Democratic and Repubn-
can parties predict trouble at the polls
tomorrow. Gov. Stone is in St. Louis
tonight and he declares the right of
every citizen to cast his ballot shall be
maintained at any cost. He said he
would not be surprised to see the st.
Louis Jail filed to overlooking before
tomorrow night.
Chairman Samuel Cook. Of the Dem
ocratic state central committee, says
that Bryan will carry the state by
10000 plurality over Mckinley. The
Republicans may carry st. Louis, but
he says the country will overcome that
by 10000. r. G. Kerens, Republican
national committeeman from Missouri.
on the other hand, says the Republi
cans will carry the state by 10000 for
Mckinley. He figures that St. Louis
will give Mckinley anywhere from 25.
900 to 10000 plurality, and that he will
carry the state outside by 10000 to

PARTIsANs ONLY SHOUTED.
No Trouble Caued by the Omaha
Decentralization.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov, 1.-The population of
Omaha was ON the streets and in the public
halls tonight. The city was entirely given
up to politics. The partisars of both Bryan
and Mckinley engagsd hn d"u,e nstrations, the
former deveting themselves to listening to
speeches by their candidate and the later
to a monster street arade accompanied by
brass bands and fireworks galore. 1t had
been feared that the tive demonstrations
might clash ON the streets and few days
ago predictions of serious trouble we're freely
made. This apprehension was sufficient to Sc
cure an arrangement 10 prevent collision,
that no trouble arose, Notwithstanding the
streets were. filed with partisans and feeling
ran high. The Bryan men and Mckinley men
mingled freely on the sidewalks but they con-
tented. themselves. generally with shouting
their respective preferences at the top of their
voices.

REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT.
Inc reastng Their Claims for McKin-

CONCORD. N. H. Nov. 2.-On the
eve of election in. New Hampshire
there is no decided change apparent in
the political outlook. Republicans are
increasing the size of their claims as
to majorities on presidential and CUB
ernatorial candidates. but are not so
The Democrats are making a very en-
ergetfc canvass on county, town and
city offices and may make some gains
over two years ago on these lines. One
hundred interviews with prominent
citizens show that the general expecta-
ton is that Mckinley will have 10000
plurality in New Hampshire and 300
electoral votes in all. Neither party
has issued amy night before election
manifesto, a departure from the usual
custom.

BRYAN HAS THE CALL.
Chances Seem to Favor Him In Cali
fOrnfa.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE
close OF the campaign in California
finds both sides confident Of carrying
the state, although the Democrats
claim a larger majority than the Re
publicans. Chairman Mclaughlin, of
the Republican central committee. de-
clfned to predict the size Of the plu-
rality, but old Republicans claim the
state by from 1900 to 10000 Secre-
tary r p. Troy, Of the Democratic
state committee, claims California
will give $4,000 majority for Bryan.
More conservative Democrats claim
the state by 10000. The Republicans
claim all the congressional districts
except the Fourth, where Mcguire S
election is conceded. Democrats claim
all but the Fifth, where Loud will
probably be reelected. The silver
state central committee claims the
state for Bryan by at least 10000. The
PopuliSts predict that Bryan's majority
in California will be at least $1,000.
The general bipartisan impression is
that Bryan will carry the state by a
small majority. Both Republicans and
fusionists claim the legislature.
