CHICAGO, Sept. Civilian r. Daw-
son, a business man of Lincoln, Neb,
has sent to Republican headquarters the
result of a non-partisan and extensive
canvass of country towns and surround
ing rural districts of Nebraska. The in
Quiries were sent out in circular form
to business men of good standing in the
country towns, irrespective of politics,
and there was nothing in the heading
of the circulars to show them for whom
the report was desired or in the circular
to disclose the politics of the writer.
Fifty-seven country towns replied. In
the country surrounding these towns
the percentage was as follows: Forty
six for Mckinley and "a for Bryan. In
the country towns the percentage was:
Fifty-six for Mckinley and A for
Pryan.
National Committeeman Dawes, a
cousin of the circular writer, said he
took these figures to indicate a major
ity of at least 5000 in Nebraska for
Mckinley.
Chairman Goundy Of the Indiana Com
rnittee spent some time at headquarters
and conferred with Chairman Hanna.
He arranged list Of speakers and dates
with Mr. Hahn for the rest of the cam
paign. He said most of the silver Re-
publicans of Indiana would be in line
for Mckinley by election day, and the
detection now is only in spots in some
counties. He declared that there were
no silver Republicans in some counties,
and the sentiment was nothing like it
was a month ago because of the good
work which had been done by the Ma
tional State Committee.
Mr.. Hanna has assigned between six
ty and seventy speakers in the last two
days to work in the West as far as Kan
sas, assignments having been made for
over 300 speeches.
Reports received at headquarters by
letters through visitors indicate that a
fusion on the part of the gold Demo-
Gratis and Populists in Missouri will be
effected. SO that Mckinley Electors and
Lewis for Governor will be voted for
by the antisilver Democrats, RepuD-
licans and Populists. The Republican
leaders say this scheme will insure the
election Of Mckinley Electors and Lewis
fer Governor.
GOOD NEWS FROM SOUTH CARO-
LIMA.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Among the
callers at the Republican headquarters
to-day was State Committeeman George
&. Daudy of Wilmington, n. c., who
said the Republicans expect to carry
the State for the Mckinley electoral
ticket, and think they have fair chance
also with their State ticket and ma
jcrity of both branches of the Legisla
ture in which case United States SEN
ator Pritchard, whose term expires In
March, will be returned. Mr.. Daudy
estimates that at present the outlook
is that the supporters Of Palmer and
Euckner in the State will poll at least
$1,000 votes, which will be an aid to the
Mckinley ticket. and he also expressed
the belief that among the Popuiists
many of the le-Ofthe-road men
will vote for the Republican Electors,
and that four and possibly five Repub-
li.an Congressman will be chosen.
