CONNECTICUT
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov 1.-The Re-
publican state committee has completed
its labors in connection with the pres
ent compaign. Chairman O. r. Filler
of the Republican state central commit
tee makes the following statement:
"A conservative canvass of this state
Just completed shows a plurality for
Mckinley Of 10000; will probably exceed
these. The state ticket will have plu-
rality of not less than $4,000; will elect
four Republican congressman by plu-
ralities ranging from 1000 to 10000. The
house of representatives will have not
less than 200 Republican members out
of total of 252. Indications point to a
solid Republican senate.
Today Alexander T. Troup, chairman
Of the Democratic state central COM
mittee, said: "At the last meeting of
our committee I requested the various
members to report the situation in their
districts, giving the darkest for Bryan
and the most hopeful for Mckinley. I
wanted to get down to hard-pan. From
these estimates I have come to the
conclusion that Mckinley will proba-
bly, carry the state, but his plurality will
rot be more than 5000. If these estimates
are correct. and if every Bryan man
does his duty. there is a reasonable,
fighting chance for Bryan in this state.

while the Democrats have been claim
ing the state as safe all along the line.
the Republicans and Populsts, with the
assistance of the gold Democrats. have
been making such an interesting fight
that it has kept the Democrats busy
beating the brush. Now that the cleo
tion is within orty-eight hours, the sit
uation, while it looks as though it was
leaning favorably to Democracy, is in
such position as to be problematical.
The situation Is such that the Populists
hold the balance of power and which
ever way they go will tell the story and
in their present chaotic condition, they
are the uncertain quantity
