demanded that the students who had done
the egg throwing be turned over to them
They held possession of the college for a
time. and finally left without learning who
the offenders were.
The police had no better success and Mr.
Powers, the owner Of the building, who is
also the president of the college, said he
did not know who had thrown the eggs, al
though he admitted that they came from
the students in the college. He appeared
to be much distressed by the occurrence
and declared IL he knew who had done the
throwing he would have no hesitancy in
turning them over to the police
Afterward. a reporter for a republican
paper, while looking up the facts In the
case, was severely beaten by a parry of
men who had taken part in the parade
Mr.. Powers offered reward of 500 for
the apprehension of the persons who threw
the eggs. Chief of Police Badenoch hss
put dozen detectives on the case. and
says he will exhaust every effort to find the
offenders.
Il would be glad to hear that the police
nave arrested those who insulted Mr..
Bryan this afternoon" said Chairman
Mark Hanna Of the national republican
committee. Whatever may have been
their motive. the act was a disgraceful or
and deserves the condemnation of every
right-minded person. l hope the authori-

CLAIMED BY CAMPAU
Democratic Campaign Committee
Chairman Predicts Bryan's Election.
BE COUNTS ON 2S3 ELECTORAL VOTES
Reports to Headquarters Of the
State Chairmen.
FULL OF CON ENCE

Chairman Daniel ]. Campau of the demo-
cratic national campaign committee has re-
ceived at Chicago te,egraphic reports from
each state chairman in the Union, giving
estimates based on the latest information
to how the different states will record
their votes next Tuesday. This is the last
forr ~ report that will be made by the
chairmen of the different state committees.
Mr.. Campau said:
THE democratic national committee
awaits the result of next weeks election
with serene confidence. William Jennings
Bryan will be elected by the largest popu-
lar majority given any President in quar-
ter of century. He will have more than
800 votes in the electoral college. Our re-
ports from the middle western states show
the effect of his wonderful campaigning
tour through them. His majorities will be
increased by many thousands a result OF
his great journey. Illinois, Michigan. In
diana, Iowa, Minnesota are absolutely safe,
and our chances of success in Ohio and
Wisconsin are more than f1attering. The
ever-rising tide of enthusiasm for the great
cause and the great leader of the common
people will sweep those states along with
their sisters already won.
Senator German, one of the most astute
political leaders of the Union, guarantees
US Maryland. Our reports from Kentucky
are that republican monopoly and demo
cratic treason will be outvoted by NOR
than 10000.
THE desperate and despotic effort to
coerce and buy the American people is
doomed to dismal and humilia ting failure.
The solid south and the silver west will
join hands in impregnable alliance at the
polls. The great middle west is with them
in an invincible union. Our intrepid leader
is sure to get a magnificent victory. These
states will give their votes for him withou,
a shadow of doubt:

EGGS THROWN AT BRYAN.

Exciting Incident of the Candidates.
Arrival lat Chicago.
While a democratic parade in honor of
the arrival Of Candidate William ]. Bryan
in Chicago was passing the corner of Michi-
gan avenue and Monroe street yesterday
afternoon several eggs were thrown at it
by young students of the METROPOLITAN
Business College.
None of the eggs came near Mr. Bryan or
his wife, and neither Of them knew of this
episode until after the parade was over.
ALI sorts Of stories were current about the
affair, one Of them being that Mrs. Bryan
was struck with an egg, and another
that her carriage was struck. Neither Of
these stories was true.
The first egg thrown at the parade came
from q boy standing on the sidewalk in
front Of the Powers building, in which the
METROPOLITAN Business College is situated
The egg was, to all appearances, thrown
at the parade generally, and at no particu-
lar person.
rush for the boy, who darted up q stairway
into the building. A second officer Joined
the first, and, as the two ran for the door
way, several more eggs were thrown from
the windows of the business college, which
occupies the fifth floor of the building.
The Cook County Marching Club, which
was escorting Mr.. Bryan, received the
bombardment, and several Prince Albert
coats and glossy black ties were spattered
with yellow. one or two eggs struck the
sidewalk, and some persons in the crowd
were decorated accordingly.
Later in the afternoon q delegation from
Cook County Democracy descended on the
college with every symptom Of hostility and

A steady, drizzling rain put damper on
what was calculated to be the grandest
political demonstration southern California
has ever known. The Business Mems
Sound Money League at Los Angeles had
made most elaborate preparations for
Tom Reed day." Thousands of uniformed
men were to have been in the line of march
and the business portion Of the city had
been decorated gorgeously. The rain made
the attempts at decoration dismal failures
and the great crowds that came on special
trains from all parts of California were
forced to seek the shelter of Railways and
awnings. while only the most enthusiastic
could be induced to take to the mud and
join the procession.
carriage drawn by four cream-colored
horses carried the distinguished visitor in
the parade. Although Mr. Reed was not
scheduled to speak at Athletic Park until
3 o'clock. thousands Of people. many of
them women, assembled at the grounds
early in the morning and stood waiting in
the rain. Twenty-Five thousand people
greeted Mr.. Reed with wild cheering when
ne stepped to the platform, and the points
OF ms speech were received with much ap-
probation. f
