order at the polls No orders have been
received by any military company, but
1t is known that there was communica-
| ton between the Governor and General
Castle in regard to the troops holding
| themselves ready for service on short
| notice. Mayors have been ordered to
quell the slightest disturbance, and ex-
ira police and Deputy Sheriffs have
been sworn in. Saloons have been or
| dered closed.
MASSACHUSETTS,.
| BOSTON, Nov. 2.-The pleasant
weather indicated for New England to-
morrow will undoubtedly bring out an
unprecedented large vote in all the
States. In Massachusetts the plurality
for Wolcott is estimated as high as
10000 by Republicans, while many
Democrats admit that it will reach 1OO,-
OOO. Bryan will run considerably ahead
OF Williams, but Mckinley will have
probably $4,000 to $4,000 plurality.
UTAH.
| SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 2.-To-night
| the Democratic and fusion managers
claim that Bryan will carry the State by
$4,000 majority and Kings election to
Congress by 5000 majority. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists claim they will have
80 members of the Legislature out of
61 and that Democrat will be elected
to succeed Arthur Brown as United
| States Senator
The Mckinley men concede that the
State will go for Bryan, but say that
the majority will be very much smaller
than claimed by the fusion people.
Chairman Holmes of the Republican
State Committee claims that Holbrook
will be elected to Congress by a small
majority, and that the combined gold
and silver Republicans will have a ma
jority of the Legislature, but is not over
confident in either assertion.
| The fact that sample ballots were
| distributed in nearly all the Mormon
meeting houses on Sunday evening by
the Bishops, marked in favor of the Re-
publican candidates for the Legislature,
leads to the conclusion that the Nor
mon Church wants a Republican Legis-
lature, and this is a strong point for
that party. In these ballots the Presi-
Dental electors and candidates for Con-
| gresS were not marked.
BOISE CITY, Nov. I'm Idaho the
Democratic, Silver Republican and
Populist fusionist claim 10000 votes for
the Bryan electors, and accord the Nc
kinley electors 5000, while the McKin-
ley people claim 10000
In regard to the legislative ticket, it
appears as If the greater part of the
strength of the McKinleyites would be
thrown to the Democra tic Populst fu-
sion ticket, leaving the silver Republi-
cans to go 1t alone. The reason of this
alignment is to defeat Dubois for Sena-
tor Tonight Dubois friends claim 45
out of the 20 members of the Legisla-
ture, while the combination against him
say he viii not have more than %.
For Congress Borahs friends, the sill
yer Republicans, seem the most conf
dent. They claim that the A. =. A. vote
| Will go to Borah. Morrison, the Nc
| Kinleyite, also ella inns the \. =. A. vote.
Gum, the Demo- Populist candidate, an
tagoniZed the A. z. A. people, and he
will be scratched by them. If the A.
+. A. tftfte on Morrison or Borah, the
probability is they can elect either, and
the chances seem to favor Borah. 1t
is claimed that large proportion of the
Mormon vote will go to Morrison.
CALIFORNIA.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 2.-"Cali-
fornia is absolutely safe for Mckinley
and Hobart, protection, sound money
and prosperity" said Major Frank Nc
Laughlin, Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee to-day. I'VE
have made poll of the State, and it is
that upon which L make my prediction,
but at the same time, as I'm neither a
prophet nor the son of a prophet, l
shall not give figures in support of my
claim.
IF we carry the State a great result
Will have been accomplished. Three
months ago California was hopelessly
for Bryan and free silver. Under the
most discouraging circumstances the
State Committee commenced the work
of the campaign. We have been greatly
assisted by the friends of law and order,
and the indications are that Republican
sentiment has rescued the State from
the free silver and fanatical hordes.
This has been a campaign of edu-
cation, in which the Republicans were
called upon to combat the prejudices
engendered by Democratic demagogues
and by sound reason and indisputable
facts to defeat the campaign sophistries
oe the enemy. Light has been thrown
in dark places, and, with the spread of
intelligence has come Republican
boom which will result in placing the
electoral vote of the State in the Nc
Kinley column
! Secretary Troy Of the State Demo-
cratic Central Committee seems to be
entirely confident as to the result of to-
morrow's election, so far, at least, as
California is concerned. AS he spoke,
in manner for the committee and its
Chairman, as well as for himself, his
views may be accepted as the official
opinion of the headquarters.
There is not a question" said Mr..
Troy, very positively, "as to the result.
Bryan will carry the State with thou
sands upon thousands of votes to spare.
1t is no longer a question of estimates
and expectations. 1t is rather, mat
ter of positive knowledge.
Il say now" continued Mr.. Troy, land
say it advisedly, that Bryan will carry
California by fully 10000 Not only
that. but he will carry this city as we'll
and by upwards of 5000 ] say these
} things, not because / wish they might
turn out so, but because / am bound to
believe them, through having obtained
compared and generally digested a mass
of information bearing upon the result
which ] am satisfied is as nearly exact
and accurate as anything human can
be-"
, NEVADA
CARSON, Nov 2-Nevada will cer-
tainly go Democratic tomorrow. The
Republicans are hopeful of securing one
Congressman but 1t is hardly probable
that they will. The weather promises
to be excellent, and the vote will be the
heaviest on record
