MORRISON BOLTS.
He Repudiates Bryan and Altgeld in Z
 FICrceful Letter.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Col. W. R. Morrison, chairman of the inters tate commerce commission, for years a member of congress and lifelong Democrat, has boiled Governor Altgeld and the Chicago platform and the nominees. His statement is in the hands of Chairman Williamson, at he Palmer and Blckner headquarters. It is a fiat-foo;ed declaration against free silver, William Bryan and the admin sltration of Governor Altgeld.
 His declaration in favor of the gold standard against Governor Altgeld is regarded as a most important incident in the state campaign. Morrison's S political standing has been high in the Democratic rarty of the state. He has been many times mentioned for presi- dent and his name was prominently be- fore the famous Chicago convention at which Bryan was nominated. He was one of the most promising candidates for the ice-presidential nomination, and had it not been for the persistence of Governor Altgeld, might have se- cured it, though his non -commitial at titude laid him open to the charge at the convention that he was lukewarm and not suitable man to stand on the platform which had been adopted.

Popocrats No Longer Want a
 Literary Bureau.
The Chicago Press Bureau of the Bryan Outfit Shuts Down Through Sheer Lack Of Enthusiasm on the Part of the Manag CTS.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-The popocrsts Yesterday they ceased issuing the daily bulletins, and today when the news paper men called to get information about the silver campaign they dis. covered that everything was closed tight, and there was DO news for them.

 When the press bureau shut down, the young man named Cannon, whose sole occupation was to manufacture statements and campaign lies sl issue them as official popocratic bulletins, announced that he would be at hesd- quarters to take ali bets from $100 up, at to l, that Bryan would carry Illinois by 10000, and even money that Bryan would beat Mckinley iii Chicago. It was hardly o'clock before a crowd col lected around the late press bureau. waiting for the man who had made the offer to bet. He did not appear, how ever, and his former typewriter in- formed callers that the bulletin maker had been offered $100 on Chicago in McKinley's favor early in the morning, but that he declined to take it, and had left the office. All day loEg there were numerous calls from men with money, all anxious to bet it on Mckinley. but no one appeared at the popccratic head quarters ta assseke the bets. F.

IT IS THE OLD, OLD STORY.
Mckinley Wins by All the
 Estimates.
The New York Life Insurance Com pany Furnishes the Latest lndi- cations-A Handsome Majority Estimated over All.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21-The New York Life Insurance company has for some time been engaged in estimating the result of tihe coming elction. It has received reports from more than 30,OO0 sources.
 At dhe beginning of the campaign President John A. Mccall adopted a plan of learning the drift of sentiment. To the correspondents of the com pany he sent requests for an estimate as to the general result in ,lhe state where the correspondent lived. AS the replies came in they were tabulated to show at a glance, for instance, how many New York correspondents think Mckinley will carry the state, how many lahink it will go for Bryan, and how many think the Populists will carry it. Tine same course, followed with each state, makes an interesting exhibit.
 The replies correspond with the best estimates of the politicians in many instances From Arkansas BIO replies were received. All but five estimate that the Democrats will carry that state. -Four think the Populists will carry it. Forty-four think Moni ana will go Democratic, and only one be- lieves it will go Republican. One be- lieves Vermont will go Democratic, and against that lone guess 236 believe it will go Republican. Conceding that in the states which no one believes are doubtful in the least The guessing is 10 thLn ,A, which have been claimed by both par tics or put nto the doubtful column have added interest
 California is estimated as Demo cratic by 413, while 362 think it will go Republican Indiana is given to the Republicans by 300, while only 198 give it to the Democrats Kansas is put down as Democratic by 306, while 169 believe it will go Republican. Mary land has few more who class it as a Republican than as a Democratic state, tine figures showing 143 of the former Ito 129 of the latter. New York has 7,004 guesses in the Republican column against 443 in the Democratic, while Ohio is put down as Republican by 1921, against 73 who give it as DCuuOCldllC. IIilIUlS IS gwen IO unS Democrats by 2S2, while 1888 class it as Republican. Michigan, Minnesota Wisconsin and Iowa are classed as Re publican by the greater number of cor respondents.
 The replies which came to l.he New York Life company up to the close of business Tuesday night numbered 30,448. They came from all the states and the guessing on the result showed a total of 20,494 for Mckinley and 9,757 for Bryan.
 The majority of opinions as thus ex- pressed gives twemty-four sjtales to Mckinley. These states are Connecti- cut, Delaware Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachus cts, Mich igan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York. North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
 The total of electoral votes of these states is 266. Bryan is given 1S1 votes.
 There are 447 votes in the electoral college. If the estimates made should prove correct, Mckinley will have forty-two more than majority of all and eighty-fve more than Bryan.
