LOUISIANA FOR BRYAN

New Orleans Nov. 1.-The Australian
ballot system will be given its first trial
in Louisiana The state will give Bry-
an a majority of between $1,000 and 90
coo. The democrats expect to carry all
six congressional districts, but with an
honest count the republicans claim to
have excellent chances in the First, Sec
ord, Third and Sixth districts. In the
latter district both republican and dem
ocratic nominees are for free silver. 1t
is claimed that the Australian ballot sys-
TEN will result in DISTINGUISHING a large
percentage of votes in each political par
ty, as illiteratc citizens will not be able to
prepare their ballots according to law
The republicans claim that this city will
90 for Mckinley. On the other hand,
the democrats are confident that when
the returns are made up on the night of
November 3 they will have their usual
majority of 10000 or more in the city,
and 10000 in the state.

AN ALLEGED PLOT.

Campau, chairman of the democratic
campaign committee. today received word
from Chairman Jones' alleging that
agents of the gold standard interests had
been detected in I.awrcnceviIle, ILL.,, with
Il valise full of official ballots, which, the
dispatch asserted, were to be used in de-
bauching and intimidating voters. The
scheme, according to the democratic man
ayers, is to mark the ballots for McKin-
ley and buy or coerce voters into using
them so far us possible, the ballots hand
ed to such voters to be returned to the
alleged agent. efN
Chairman Campau sent the following
to the chairman of every democratic sill
Yer committee:
''Our friends in Illinois have discovered

ayers to steal the election. They have
captured a valisc full of official ballots
and have caused several arrests to be

that the dairymen were the only pros

And If few leading dairymen have nice

IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The campaign
in Pennsylvania closed last night with the
meetings that were held all over the state
Although the electoral vote has been con-
coded to Mckinley from the start. repub-
lican orators have Travelled up and down
the state making speeches in behalf of
their candidate. Their activity has been
due, first to the fact that the legislature
to be chosen on Tuesday next will elect
Il successor to United States Senator J.
Donald Cameron; second, the business
mems national campaign committee in
the leading republican organizations in
the large cities have been provided an
army of speakers and the means of hold
ing Vulnerable meetings over the state.
The candidates for United States sena
tor Governor Hastings. John Wanamak
or and State Senator Boise Penrose, have
been on the stump during the campaign,
and have spoken in nearly every county.
The uncertain situation in several of
the districts is the cause of much anxiety
to the republican leaders. In the land
slide of two years ago the republicans
elected 90 out of 80 congressman, but the
chances are that this year the democrats
will elect four or six congressman.
At the republican headquarters the
state committee claim the state will give
Mckinley and Hobart anywhere from
200 600 to 100000 plurality.
The democratic chairmen hope to keep
the republican plurality below 100000.
The Palmer and Buckner democracy
have a very active organization in the
state. and Chairman Given hopes the
ticket will poll from 10000 to 10000
votes.

DEAD NEGRO FOUND.
lie is Supposed to BE Rube Washington
Who Disappeared From Near Ennis

Ennis. Tex, Nov. 1.-(Spccial.)- "A re.
port came in here last night that the dead
body of IL negro man had been found in
the tall grass at the back of McClendon's
field. near Leland. ten miles southeast
of Ennis. The body was nearly dried up
and has evidently been there for weeks.
The notion is ut once conceived thar IT
is the body of Rube Washington. About
two months ago IL negro named Henry
Dunn was killed in fight near that place
and Rube Washington is said to have
been nearby at the time and afterwards
was seen going in that direction and has
not bee seen or heard Of since. Consta-
bic Jim Darden and Undertaken Marcia
went ont today and brought the remains
TO Ennis to be inquested.
There is hole in the skull like pistol
ball wound and the supposition is that
Washington fell and died in the graz
from n shot received during the melee.
