SOBER SECOND THOUGHT
REPUBLICANS NOW GIVE IDAHO
TO BRYAN.
Reports From yarious other Pcr-
tons of the United States Sent In
by Republican Chairman.

CHICAGO, Oct SO.-The Republican
national committee received additional
reports today from state committee
by Chairman Hanna for the latest and
most conservative estimate of the re-
suit, presidential, state and congress
sfonal. Following are extracts from
these reports:
ARKANSAS-Result will be SUBJ
stantially the same as on Sept 2. No
men. Vote will be slightly increased
over Sept. 2. Hope to get in the Re
publican column in 1900.
CALIFORNIA; have not the
slightest doubt we will win the cleo
toral vote in this state.
COLC-iADO-Bell, the Populist con-
gressional candidate in the Second dis
trict, and Shafroth, silver Republican
in the First, will win. Bryan and
Watson ticket will poll 5000 to 10000
votes; Bryan and Sewall, $4,000; Nc
Kinley, $4,000.
DELAWARE-Result as to presi-
Dental electors doubtful. Hon. d. NJ.
Wilson of Dover says we shall win
presidential electors, but cannot say
as to congressman.
MAINE-We will give at least $4,000
plurality for Mckinley.
ADMINISTRATION to cast
$50 900 votes. Predict Republican
plurality of 10000.
MISSISSIPPI-There will be 5000
votes cast. of which Palmer will get
5000. Mckinley 1900, Bryan and Wat
son 1900, Bryan and Sewall 36,0OO
NORTH Kinley cleo
tors viii be elected by 5000 majority.
Candidates for congress win run even
with electors. Populists and Demo-
gratis claim state by 5000.
( OREGON-Confident Republicans will
carry the state by $500. Situation
growing more hopeful every day.
TEXAS-Last night it was officially
stated on the basis Of the registration
there would be So, 900 votes cast. Some
estimates make it as high as 595, 600.
This is an increase of 100000 over the
biggest previous vote. The increase is
largely il our favor, and Democrats
are discouraged over it. It is reason
ably sure we viii get a fair count.
WYOMING-We will carry Wyoming
for our congressman by 5000 plurality,
and justice of the supreme court by
the same. The margin on electors is
too close and changeable to tnake a
close estimate.
MICHIGAN-F. E. Waite, member
state executive conmittee-Trend is
all our way. I believe we are safe for
.FBOR1DA.-No doubt about Florida
going for Bryan. Democrats will get
10000; Republicans. $1,000: Palmer.
5000; Populists. $500. May elect one
congressman.
IDAHO.-Idaho's vote will be cast for
Bryan. The Demo- Populist- Silver
ticket will get tWo-thirds of the vote
polied. The three candidates for con-
gress have an even chance. We hope
to elect our men. We will carry enough
legislators TO hold the balance of pow
er with the PopulistS and Democrats
Indications point to a Democratic sue
cessor to Senator Dubois. He is prac-
tically out of the race.
IOWA.-Compla.e poll Indicates rs 600
Republican plurality. Chances are It
win go above this.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.-We will carry
this state by 10000 majority and will
control the legislature
PENNSYLVANIA will
give Mckinley 250,O00 plurality. BRYAN
will get 100000 votes.
MINNESOTA.-Min will give
Mckinley 5000 majority. Later reports
make me raise my estimate of the ma
jority in the state from $4,000 to 60. 900
and probably $4,000. The last polls
show a majority for Mckinley of IS, 71O.
Idaho has been placed by recent Re-
publican estimates in the list which
might go for Mckinley. but the fore
going report, which was approved by
the national chairman, comedies the
state as sure for Bryan.
Colonel Hahn, whose duties as head
of the speakers bureau department
are practically ended, received the fol-,
lowing telegram today from National
Committeeman Scott of the New York
headquarters:
Shake, old man. We VIII give YOU
New England, Pennsylvania, New
York. Maryland. New Jersey, North
Carolina. Virginia, West Virginia and
Tennessee"
Colonel Hahn said that he did not
yield North Carolina and Tennessee in
his estimate given out today, because |
in the first state there was complete |
fusion of the Democrats and Populists
and in Tennessee he was afraid there /
would be a repetition of the alleged |
