trict, will be elected, and it is claimed the
legislature will be Republican.
The National Democratic committee
claims from $4,000 to 10000 Democrats
will not vote for Bryan. but will not
give an estimate of how mary of them
will vote for Mckinley.
The Populist committee refuses to
| give an estimate.
| The National Democrats claim con-
| gressmen in the Sixth and Tenth dis
tricts.
| Conservative men think the commit
tee claims are somewhat extravagant,
| especially the Republican committees
claim. Bryan, they estimate will carry
! the state by 10000; Taylor by 5000.
Seven Democratic congressman certain,
with the Democrats having the best
show in the Third district, and that the
Republicans can only count on congress-
men from the First and Second districts.
In the Tenth district Patterson, Nation
al Democra, may defeat Carmack, Free
Silver Democrat. but this is not a GER
tainty. A large vote will be polled-
larger than for years-and this compii-
Gates the estimates somewhat.
NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 1.-The cam
paign in New Jersey has practically
CLOSED, and the leaders of both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties are
claiming the state. Chairman Franklin
Murphy of the Republican state COM
mittee declares that Mckinley will car
ry the state by between 10000 and $4,000,
and that they will secure the entire
eight congressman, seven of the eight
state senators, and nearly ali of the
lower house.
Col. L. Prince, chairman of the Dem
ocratic state committee, claims the state
for Bryan by from 10000 to 1900, and
says the Democrats will get three or
four congressman, five state senator's,
and majority of the lower house.
Ex-senator Winton, chairman of the
National Democratic state committee,
comedies the state to Mckinley and asks
all gold Democrats to vote for Palmer,
so as to give a total vote sufficient to
permit hereafter the nomination of can
didaes by convention instead of by pc
tition.
The Republicans have been aggress-
i've throughout the campaign and prom
inent speakers have advocated their
cause in every locality. On the other
hand, the Fourth congressional district
has been the only section of the state
where the Democrats have been active.
This includes Newark, Jersey City and
Paterson, and it was through this dis
trict that Bryan spoke. Augustus w.
Cutler is opposing Congressman Pitney
for reelection in the Fourth.

ity. He expects Eastern Washington to
give the fusioIists 5000 majority, but
that Western Washington will give 5000
| majority for the Republicans. His fig
ures are based on a careful canvass.
The fusionists claim everything in
sight by a majority of $4,000 to 10000
They concede nothing and Secretary
Thomas Maloney of the campaign COM
| mittee says Washington will surely go
to the fusionists from the electoral
ticket down to wreckmaster in the coun-
Ity.
| The Republicans believe that Sulli-
van, candidate for mayor, will run far
ahead of his ticket.
