fidence. William ]. Bryan will be elect
ed by the largest popular majority
given any president in a quarter Of q
century. He will have more than 800
votes in the electoral college. Reports
from the middle western slater show
the effect of his wonderful campaignine
tour through them. His majority Will
be increased by many thousands a. a
result of his great journey. Illinois.
Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota
are absolutely safe, and our chances of
success in Ohio and Wisconsin are very
flattering. The ever-rising tide of en-
thusiasm for the great cause and the
great leader Of the. common people villa
sweep those states, along with thar
sisters already won. x. s-Srss-'sss-.

perate and despOtic effort to- coerce and

'It has been a long, hard campaign,
but the peoples cause hassnever ceased
in its march to victory. The blusterof
the Republican national committee,
claiming $50 electoral votes, - shown in
the inclusion in their estimates of such
states as Texas, Idaho, Utah andrMon-'
tana, where the majority for 'Bryan-can
only be measured by considering all
most the whole voting population fon
him.
Mr.. Campau gave the following re.
ports of the different state chairmen.
showing that the confidence Of the ma
tional committee is shared by the mana-
gers in the different states:
California-"In my opinion in spite Of
intimidation and coercion, which are
large towns of California to a very great
extent, they cannot prevent by any
possible means the election of the fus-
ion electors by majority that will not
fall below 25, ,0O0" Signed by william "a.
Alvord, chairman of the Bryan and
Sewall electors.
Bryan will carry Idaho by 1900 MAJ
jority." Signed by James A. McGec.
chairman.
Misunderstanding the largest allow-
ance for the doubtful vote, we can
count on plurality Of at least $1,000
for Bryan. We shall elect fourteen OF
the twenty-one congressman" Signed
by w. H. Hinrichse-i. chairman.
The situation in Indiana was never
brighter for sweeping Democratic vic-
tory. am confident we will give q Hfy-.
an electoral vote from Indiana, elect 4
legislature and carry nine and probably
all of the thirteen congressional dis
tricts, besides our entire state ticket, cu
by a safe majority The free silver Re-
publican vote will exceed the gold stand-'
ard vote 10000. 5.4.ss :s ". "
