State Chairmen.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27-Chairman Dan
iel J. Campau, of the Democratic ma
tiOnal campaign committee, received
today telegraphic reports from each
state chairman in the Union, giving
ton as to how the different states will
theic votes one week from to-
day. These are the last formal re-
ports that will be made by the chair
Ren 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 popular majority given
any president in quarter OF century.
He will have more than three hundred votes
in the electoral college Our reports 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, Indiana Iowa and Mime
sofa absolutely SAFE and our chances CT
success in Ohio and Wisconsin are more than
fattering. The ever rising tide Of enthusiasm
for the great cause and the great leader Of
the common people will sweep those states.
Senator German, one of the most astute
political leaders of the nation, guarantees us
Maryland. Our reports from Kentucky are
that Republican monopoly and Democratic
treason will be outvoted by more than 40, 080.
Inc desperate anu QespOIlc effort 10 cOerc0
and buy the American people Is doomed to
dismal and humiliating failure. The solid
South and the silver West will join hands
in an alliance at the polls The great
union. Our intrepid leader is sure of mag
nifcent victory. These states will give their
votes to him without the shadow Of doubt:
Alabama, IL; California. g. Florida, 4; Idaho,
8; Indiana, Is; Kansas, 10; Louisiana, s; Mich

In addition, our chances of success in these
states far better than those of the Re-
pubicans: Delaware, 8; Ohio, %; Wiscon-
sin. II.
1t has been long hard campaign, but
the peoples cause has never ceased in it's
steady march to victory. Success is now
in plain sight. The brag and bluster of the
Republican national committee in claiming
$50 electoral votes is shown In the inclusion
in their estimates of such states as Texas,
Idaho Utah and Montana, where the majority
for Bryan can only be measured by consider
ing almost the whole voting populition for
him.
Chairman Campau gave the follow
ing reports Of the different state chair
men showing that the confidence Of
by the managers in the different
states:
Arkansas-Democratic and Populist fusion
on the electoral ticket working harmoniously
and will receive at least $500 votes Nc
Kinley will not receive over 35. 600. Bryan's s
majority will be 10000. Carroll Armstrong,
chairman.
California-In my opinion, in spite Of in
timidation and coercion, which are being
practiced in all the cities and large towns
of California to very great extent, they
cannot prevent by any possible means the
election of the fusion electors by a majority
that will not fall below 80, 600. William III.
Afford. chairman.
CoIorado-Bryan and SewaI electors will
have 10000 majority in Colorado. Frank P.
Arbuckle, chairman.
GET TU.' CONNECTICUT.
Connecticut-The Republicans in Connecti-
cut are boastful, making reckless estimates
without anything TO back them. Impossible
to make canvass. Workingmen, regardless of
past affiliations, unanimously for Bryan. Re-
publicans are counting Mckinley buttons
worn by workingmen and basing estimates
upon them. Workingmen wear Mckinley
buttons to retain employment. In one fac
tory where superintendent made canvass In
a room of eighteen. canvass showed MeKin-
ley, II: doubtful, 1. That. was for the su-
perintendent. The way they will vote is
Bryan, y; Mckinley, s. doubtful, 1. Be-
neve there is q surprise in store for the
Republicans. Will elect congressman In the
in the Fourth (BridgeporD district The
silver men are hopeful, putting up good
fight, while the Republicans are full of
bluff and bluster without anything to back it.
Alex Troup, chairman.
Idaho-Bryan will carry this state by 1900
majority. James A. McGee, chairman
Illinois-The corrected poll Of nearly all
the counties in Illinois shows a substantial
gain over the first poll taken There seems
to be no doubt Of q very large Democratic
majority in the state outside of Chicago and
we are now confident of carrying the city,
Making the largest allowance for the doubt
ful vote we can count a plurality Of at
least $4,000 for Bryan. We shall elect four
