been callers from every State in the Union.
History has no record Of any candidate or puDlc
man who has had so large a number OF people

Mckinley has received in the last five months
Major Mckinley is serene and hopeful tonight
He has unbounded confidence In the gooo sense
integrity and the patriotism OF the American
people. Not for a moment since his nomination
has he doubted the ultimate triumph OF the Re-
publican party. He foresaw the difficulties and
the dangers from the very beginning. and set at
work resolutely to meet and conquer them. He
has received reports from all the debatable
States this evening. and they are Of highly en-
couraging character. He expects 10 receive sub
stantial pluralites In all Of them. with the pos
sible exception of Kansas. and the committees
and the managers in that state are claiming IL
vigorously. X c. Kerens the Republican mem
her of the National Committee from Missouri,
telegraphed tonight: Missouri Is good fighting
ground. and the Republicans seem TO have about
an even chance there"

from a great many prominent Sound Money
Democrats There seems TO be a considerable
movement going among the Sound Money
Democrats Many of them have been silent dur
ing the campaign and refrained from saying
whether they would vote for Mckinley or for
