men-Nebrssku Outlook.

men-Ncbrasku OUTLOOK.
COLUMBUS, o.. November 2-Chair-
man Caren, OF the BoltIng Democratic
state Committee. and Chairman McCon-
vile. of the Democratic State Committee
Will give no estimates OF the election re-
suit in the State. Chairman Kurtz, of
the Republican Committee, lets his state
ment of Saturday night. in which he
claimed the state for Mckinley by 5000
to 10000. stand unamended. Leading Re
publicans here are inclined to regard this
calm as too high. but all think the State
Is safe. The betting seems to support
this. as the odds are 10 to l in Mckin-
ley's favor on the State.
The Republicans have much the better
organization; in fact, it is perfect, and
Chairman Kurtz is inclined to accept the
statements of his local committeeman,
rather than reports from casual observers
10 the effect that there are big Republi-
can defections TO free silver among the
farmers and workingmen.
MISSOURI.
ST. LOUIS. NO. November 2.-Never
before has Missouri been so thoroughly
canvassed and campaigned. The registra-
ton is the highest ever known, and the
vote will certainly pass all records. The
Republicans have fought hard and ag-
gressiyely, and their claim OF a coming
victory is not campaign brayado. but Is
born Of confidence. The Democrats,
aroused from apathy by the vigorous
g h.f
squadrons i'm every school district and
feel assured OF victory. The Republicans
are strongly abetted by the bOiting DEM
ocrats. while Bryan Will receive the
united support Of the Populists and
straight Democrats.
The only development to-day was one
Of charges and counter-charges by both
parties of intended fraud. Chairman
Chauncy I. Filley. for the Republicans
this evening offered 500 reward for the
conviction Of any one intimidating a
voter or committing a fraud at the polls
In anticipation of possible rioting to-mor-
row, 800 extra policemen have been
sworn i'm. The Democrats claim 700oO
majority and the Republicans 5000 ma
tority. Tonight there was a slight rain
here: but there is promise of fair weather
tomorrow.
TEXAS.
AUSTIN, TEX, November 2.-The cam
paign closed tonight with every indica-
tion Of rain tomorrow. Notwithstanding
Chairman Blake. Of the Bryan and Sewall
Committee is claiming the State by 10000
plurality over Mckinley. silver leaders
here say IT will not exceed 25,0o0. Blake
places his estimate on a total vote Of
5CoO0O Of which he gives Mckinley only
125. 900. Bryan and Sewal Z75.00O. Bryan
and Watson $1,000, and Palmer and Buck
ner 10O00. In this city and county at
least 90 per cent. Of the Populists Will
vote for Mckinley, and their leaders
claim that so per cent. Of their party IN
Texas will vote for him. II this be true,
out Of a total vote OF 46O.000 they claim
Mckinley will receive from Republicans
Populists. and boiling Democrats. l95,0D;
Bryan and Sewall 10000; Bryan and
Watson. 500. Palmer and buckner. l0,-

For Congress. it looks as II Crawford
C5olting DemocraD. in the Fourth Dis
trict: Gibbs PopulisO, I'm the Sixth: Pope
Republican,. in the Seventh, and Noonan
Republcan), in the Twelfth District, will
be elected.
NEBRASKA.
LINCOLN. NEB., November 2.-Elimi-
mating the effect Of w. j. Bryan's trip
through Nebraska to-day. which none
deny has been a factor in his favor the
political trend of the State for the past
thirty-six hours has been favorable to
the Republicans. For this condition o.
affairs the PoDulist supporters OF Ar.
Bryan have men In their own ranks TO
blame. The meetings OF to-day and Sa-
turday night were marked at a number OF
towns by overt acts. such as throwing
eggs az Republican speakers and burning
set ln Aside from this there. has been
nothing 10 change the estimate either way.
The vote will be close i'm any event, and
Il is questionable II the result even on
heads OF tickets, will be definitely known
before Thursday.
II betting is any indication. the Bryan
men have n trihe the better OF II. NO
large wagcrs have been made or odds OF
fered by either side Mr.. Bryans home
county is claimed by the Republicans by
2.O00. but his supporters insist that TINS
estimate is far too large.
NORTH CAROLINA.
RALEIGH. n c.. November 2.-The
populist state chairman says his poll Of
the state shows 1900 Republicans. 3oOO
popufsts. and 10000 Democrats regis
tered.
II. II. Banks last Saturday declared
himself an Independent Republican cam
didate for Congress IN this district. state
chairman Holton attacked him in an ad-
dress. saving his action was inspired by
Democratic money. Tonight Banks de-
bounced this statement. and intimates
that he would sue Holton for libel.
Betting was even here to-day on wheth
or Mckinley or Bryan would carry
the State. The weather Is cloudless and
warm. and the indications are that the
vote will be immense.
The Democratic State chairman de-
clines to give the result Of his poll Of the
state. He sent kilograms to-day TO all
county chairmen. saying he has in
formation from National-Chairman Jones
that fraudulent schemes Will be prac-
decd I'm North Carolina, and that he Is
reliably informed there will be mixed
tickets or false boxes or counts. He also
saws tonight: 1--WE will stick 10 our
electoral ticket. and vote for the Popu-
lists thereon. whether they vote for Dem
ocratic electors or not"
At 10 o'clock tonight Populist-State
Chairman Aver gave out the following:
'The State looks favorable for Bryan.
our people will stand by the Democratic
electors. The cooperation State ticket
will win. and. as to that. the majority
only is a matter Of calculation"
KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November 2.-The
indications are that Kentucky will to-
morrow cast the heaviest vote In the his
tory OF the State. The campaign mana
gers for both parties express supreme
confidence in the result. Chairman
somers. Of the Democratic Campaign
Committee. admits that Bryan will lose
heavily In the Blue Grass District. but
says that gains In Western Kentucky Will
more than Offset these losses. Twenty
