CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The managers OF
the Republican campaign and also those
of the National Democratic tgold stand
ard) party are confident the friends or
honest money national honor and law and
order will prevail at the polls tomorrow,
but they urge every Republican and sound
money Democrat do his whole duty
that is. TO be sure and vote and work un-
ceasingly until the polls close. The Popu-
lists are desperate, realizing the Eopeless-
ness OF their cause. and are benz on an
noying sound-money voters a. much as
possible. They are already crying fraud
and causing the arrest of Republicans on
trumped-up charges. This system of an
noyance is being practiced i'm Illinois and
Indiana where many cases have been re-
ported. but i'm every case II has been proven
the prosecution was for political purposes
and the defendants were discharged. even
when brought before Popocratic judges liz
is boldly asserted here that the object OF
the arrests is TO cover up Popocratic
schemes for fraud; that is, while they are
charging Republicans with trying TO un-
lawfully influence voters the Popocrats
themselves are trying to place the silver
barons' Doodle fund sent East for use in
Illinois and Indiana. Every dollar of the
Republican campaign fund has been used
in legitimate ways. Republican voters are
warned to be on their guard against Pop
ocratc attempts at fraud.
There is no doubt about the result of the
balloting. Mckinley will certainly be-
elected but the managers of the sound
money parties want the majority to DO
SO great and overwhelming that the threat
of debased currency will never again be
heard in the land.
POpOcrats Also Claim to he CONFIDENT.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-On the night before
the battle serene and unbounded confidence
reigns in the headquarters camp of the
Democratic party, and in that OF their Re-
publican rivals as well. On neither is there
a shadow of doubt of the result of the
struggle, and, I'm fact, so sure are the two
parties of victory, that there is on both
sides a telling of astonishment that the
other fellow has the audacity to claim
anything at all. No two pugilists six
months before a problematical fight were
ever more prolific in assertion. more sweep
ing in prediction and more overfiowing
with promises Of covering the opposition
with everlasting smash and utter. eternal
of both parties. They can tonight see
nothing but the bow of promise at all
points of the compass. and they are con-
fidently looking for the sun of success to
rise i'm the same prodgal fashion on the
morning which ushers i'm the battle.
At both headquarters there was to-day
a general exodus for home and voting
booths. Chairman Hanna. left for Cleve-
Of a.,
he will at IL o'clock go TO Canton for a
visit to Major Mckinley. returning to
Cleveland at 2:30. and will receive the elec-
ton returns from his office i'm the Perry
Payne building. Henry c. Payne. OF the
Republican headquarters. left for MiIwau-
kee this evening. and will return to-mor-
row after casting his vote.
The following final forecast was made by
Chairman Hanna, of the Republican ma
t1onal headquarters, tonight:
Il am confident that the strength OF Nc
kinley and Hobart in the Electoral College
as a result of to-morrow's election will not
be less than 3l1 votes. Our polls, taken
by trained men. indicate that we viii carry
not only California and Oregon but every
one of the central western States. includ-
ing Missouri and Kansas. There is reason
for us to believe tonight that Texas will
cast her electoral vote for the Republican
candidates and that Virginia. Kansas.
Maryland, Tennessee and West Virginia
will be found in the sound money column.
North Carolina is practically conceded. Al
together the victory promises 10 be one CT

candidate for President.
Chairman Jones. Of the Democratic ma
ticnal headquarters. said:
In to-morrow's presidential election the
West and the South VIII present a solid
front against those classes Of the Essst yet
dominated by the money influences OF New
York city and London. The forces back cf
this movement are not yet fully understood
by the conservative people OF New England
and some Of the middle Eastern States.
This issue is by no means sectional. and
their real interests are the same those
OF the great producing States OF the West
and South. This is campaign i'm which
politicians of both parties have been prac-
tically powcrless either TO advance or re-
tard the onward march OF the people ir

pcndence. IL has been the peoples figh.
and il will be their victory
