WHAT THE REPUBLICANS SAY.
Effect of Mr.. Brynn's Canvass I'm
Cook County.

CHICAGO. October 2S.-Telephone-mes-
sages and personal callers kept the cam
paign managers in constant state of
activity to-day at Republican national,
State and county headquarters. The
rank and file Of the party were con-
cerned about the effect which Mr.. Bryans
campaign in Cook county might have
on the election-day result in the
city and State. To all such inquiries the
Republican leaders returned the answer
that the eleventh hour effort Of the De
mocrats 20 capture a majority of the
Chicago voters would not change any
material number Of votes already fixed
on the Republican side, and there was
no fear expressed at any headquarters
that stampede was possible.
The big crowds were accounted for by
the fact that this was Chicagos first
real chance to see and hear the presi-
Dental nominee and hundreds Of Repub-
leans went to each meeting, chiefly from
curiosity, without having their voting
mind affected in the least by the argu-
ments of Mr.. Bryan.
National Committeeman Jameson, of
Illinois, who has been the most cOnser-
vative Of any party manager here, when
dealing with the Republican side OF the
situation, said: Il feel justified In in
creasing the figures of McKinleys esti-
mated majority in Cook county. as re-
suit Of Bryan's visit. There is no such
thing as defeat here. The Bryan and
Aitgeld managers are straining every ef-
fort to carry Illinois, on the theory that
this State holds the key 10 the pres-
Dental situation. The labor vote here
for Mckinley will be bigger than the
Democratic managers have any idea or
We can allow them 70 per cent. Of it and
win in a walk"

GeneraIship I'm Football.

diapers Round ldble)
The gcneralship OF the game devolves
upon the captain. There must be one
head on the field. and only one. A game
may be largely planned before going upon
the field. At the time the game Is being
mapped out is the occasion TOR cQnsulta-
ton with coaches and players. Before the
game IL may be decided what IS to be
done under given conditions Of wind and
weather. or what Is 10 be done n the

studying an opponents preceding games
IL Is sometimes possible 10 determine
somewhat in advance the kind Of game
that is likely to succeed against that par
tlcular team. The strength and weakness
Of the team must be cOnsidered also.
First consider the matter Of generalship
without reference TO the opposing team.
There are two ways Of advancing the
hall-one by kicking. the other by rushing.
The rushing game is divided into straight
football and strategic. There are piactl-
cally three schools or foot-pal-the SIM
pie straight football the strategic. and
the kicking The right use OF these differ
ent methods of advancing the BALL the
proDer proportion Of each Kind or plays
is the great problem OF good generaiship.
Sirnple straight football should form the
basis OF the offensive game. This is more
easily executed. and is less exhausting
upon the body and mind. A trick requires
the doing OF so many Things by each IN
dlvidual at a given time that there Is
produced n great mental strain. Men be-
gin TO worry and wonder whether the
trick will succeed And II fine trick
fails. they despair OF the success of any
thing else. and so lose spirit. At any rate,
they have lost that force and energy ne

ball. The trick should be merely an Incl
dent OF the game It's proper function is
simply to add little uncertainty and 10
keep the other side guessing. IL is a mis-
take 10 think that the only scientific game
Is the strategic one. The science OF the
straight games does not lie In the forma-
ton. but solely In the execution.

that the Republican party Of this State.
through its State organization was

of Louisiana, recognized on the National

MODEST NTKINLEY CLAIM.
Ohio 10 Give the Republican Cnndi-
dfdate 100000 Plurality.

CANTON, o., October 2S.-Joseph p.
Smith. who Is a member Of Major Nc
Kinley's household during the campaign
and who is an expert in Ohio politics
has compiled a detailed estimate Of the
plurality which each county in the State
will give on Tuesday. He has derived his
information from sources independent Of
those drawn upon by the State Commit
tee, and gives the name Of his correspond
ent in each county. Smith thinks the
Republican counties Of the State will
give Mckinley a plurality In the aggre-
gate Of 1880, and that the Democratic
counties will give Bryan plurality
amounting to 1900. making n minimum
plurality for Mckinley in the State Of
$500 In every case the minimum Re
publican and maximum Democratic esti-
mate is given. The statement closes with
the prediction that Ohio will give n plu-
rality Of at least 10000 for Mckinley.
