LINCOLN. Oct. 26.-(spcclal From nov
on until the polls close on the evening ~
November 3. the republican campaign will
be carried on with n vigor and determine
tion in this county, which can only result
In one way-a republican majority in Lancas-
ter county variously estimated by the con-
sentative at from 1000 to $500 Experts
give 1t out that the Mckinley majority in
country precincts will run from 800 to 500.
Chairman Stephenson says:
The campaign from the beginning has
been fought out upon Just the issues the re-
publican party was willing to go before the
people upon protection, reciprocity, sound
money and the perpetuity of federal govern
ment. After the first few days of the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Bryan. the republican party
has been gaining votes steadily and con-
tinuousy every hour Each days work has
shown decided results In favor of the ST.
Louis platform and It's nominee
The result of a third poll OF Lancaster
county shows concusivey that Mr.. Bryan
cannot carry a single ward and possibly not
a single voting precinct in the city OF Lin
coin. and that McKinley's majority in Lam
caster county will exceed that of MIR. Harrl-
son either time he ran for the presidency
by several hundred votes.
"As to the republicans of Lancaster
county, we practically desire to ask that
each and every one who can possibly do so
will devote his whole time and energy from
now Until the close of the campaign doing
all within his power. To the woman we say
the same
1.-THE headquarters OF the county central
committee will be open continuously from
now until the close of the campaign, day and
night. for the transaction of business con-
nected with the work"
Chairman Stephenson desires to call the
attention of all voters to the fact that the
polls on election day open at s o'clock in
the morning and close at o'clock in the
evening. The erroneous impression exists
that the polls do not close until p. m.
and voters may be deceived.
Hon. a. r. Talbot has agreed to take the
stump for Major Mckinley in Lancaster
county and will make five speeches. The
first of these will be made at Hickman
tonight. DR.. ]. M Greene will also speak
at the Hickman meeting.
NJ. Adler has received several hundred
copies of the Chicago Jewish Daily News,
Prof. George Selikovitsch's paper, which he
is circulating among the Hebrews of Lin
coin The paper is printed in Hebrew and
is strong supporter of Mckinley.
The first of a series of republican rallies
in large tent at the corner OF Third and
Il streets, will be held this evening. 1t will
! be under the auspices of the Young Mems
Republican club. f. A. Boehmer will speak
in German and Frank ]. Kelley in English,
while campaigns songs will be sung by the
famous Sixth ward quartet. The drum
corps and lambeau club will attend.
Panama was the scene OF the biggest
political demonstration in her history Sat
urday night. 1t was a republican demon
stration and there were fully 1000 people
on the streets of the little town. The parade
was composed of the following clubs: Ben
nett Flambeau club Bennett Mckinley
club, Bennett and Panama drum corps and
glee clubs, Ladies' Marching club, Adams
club. Hickman club, Firth and Panama
Marching clubs. There were 552 in line by
actual count. There speaking in two
halls and the orators were Il. IL Matthews

lists the reverse over the success of the
