CHICAGO. Oct. 24.-Every message sent into
| Chicago Republican or sound-m money Demo-
| cratic headquarters breathes this spirit: "Only
let us get at them" Senator John VI. Palmer, the
Presidential candidate of tho sOund-money
Democrats has been through many a campaign.
A friend asked him recently to explain why
Bryan says he Is to be elected.
IN tell you why Bryan is 30 confident OF cleo
tion when every body else knows different" he
replied "lle thinks almost every man who com es
to hear him speak will go away intending to
vote for him. This is a grave mistake. When |
ram for Governor against Fifer made the same
mistake. travelled over Illinois. and WAS III ct
by tremendous crowds wherever | spoke.
There was cheering without end. The enthu-
siasm was intense. and ! thought was u winner
sure. Fifer beat me easily. Now here is another
case, In 1890 when ran for Senator. there WAS
not SO much burrahing but the people made up
their minds to support me and was elected.
Bryan thinks these crowds indicate success He
will know better two weeks hence"

his confidence in McKinley's overwhelming
election.
That's very easy" replied Mr.. Hanna. ~
am confident because I know how the people
are going to vote. We are not deceived about u
single county in any State in the Union. From
the first day OF the campaign we have taken
thorough steps to ascertain positively the inten-
tions OF the voters. We have the substantial
reports to warrant our confidence. We know
every spot in the country. We have not relied
upon the various city, county, and State polls.
We know whereof we speak. We have known
every step taken by our adversaries.
THE sound money Democrats have work ed
like heroes. The people are already awaiting
election day with impatience. They wish to
destroy the men who have vainly essayed to
put blot upon our country. From all the re-
ports sent to me the people remind mo of a
great army eager to go into action on election
day. Tho defeat OF Bryan is to be n rout Our
adyersaries know it."
The lines In the middle Western and North
western States ara to Oa more closely drawn
from this hour up to election day. All the Re-
publican State Chairmen have been summoned
to Chicago next week for their final instruc-
tons. The Republicans and sound money
Democrats Of Chicago and Illinois are to be es-
pecially on the alert for schemes. Illinois is as
hopelessly lost to Bryan as New York, and tho
scene OF his greatest triumph bids fair to be the
scene OF his final collapse and rout. II was In
his Convention speech that he spoke OF the Wa
teroo in store for the Republicans, and
now Illinois is to be his Waterloo. 1t
has been asked to-day. what can Bryan. in
the closing days of the campaign, expect

Popocratic charge that "multitudes Of work.
ingmen are wearing Mckinley badges to save
their present situations, who will quietly vote
for Bryal," is about the meanest and most cow
srdly charge ever posted IN against the work.
inCman. There Is no bigger farce in sight, the
Repu ublicaus say. than Candidate Bryan posing
as n patriot and the friend OF the workingman
and denouucing all others frauds and
plutocrats.
1t lie announced that Frank James the ex-
bandit Of Missouri, is out for Bryan. He has
always been for free silver. and the free-rot
clause OF the Chicago platform is especially
pleasing to him.
Joues's latest circular is spoken OF here as
cownrd!y and demagogical. Everywhere it is
insisted that Jones began his circular with o
fa!sehood He said:
"Itis generally admitted by Chicago manu-
facturers that the election Of Mckinley will be
follow ed by reduction in wages
The manufacturers admit nothing Of the sort.
The reverse would happen. they say. One OF
these employers said to-day:

moment of despair he recognizes defeat

and IL he really had the interests OF the work
ingmen at heart he would como out with
sufficient guarantees that worGingmen, in
case of Bryans election, will be paid
In silver value IS much as they are now paid in
gold value. and that for every gold dollar they
now receive they shall have two silver dollars
then. But Jones will do nothing of the sort.
He will offer no such guarantees. Instead of
that he is asking work k!ngmen to make demands
which he, and they. too. know are absurd"
