Safe for Bryan.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Chairman Daniel
j. Campau, of the Democratic national
campaign committee, received today
Geographic reports from each state
chairman in the Union, giving estimates
based on the latest information as to
how the different states will record
their votes one week from today. This
is the latest formal report that will be
made by the chairmen of the different
state committees.
Mr.. Campau said the Democratic
national committee awaits the result of
next week s election with serene con-
fidence. w. J. Bryan will be elected
by the largest popular majority given
any president in a quarter of a century.
He will have more than 300 votes in the
electoral college. Our reports from the
Middle Western states show the effect
of his wonderful campaigning tour
through them. His majority will be
increased by many thousand as result
of his great journey. Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota
are absolutely safe, and our chances of
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, along
with their sisters already won. Senator
German, one of the most astute political
leaders of the Union, guarantees us
Maryland. Our reports from Kentucky
are that Republican monopoly and
Democratic treason will be out voted
by 40, 900. The desperate and despotic
effort to coerce and buy the American
people is doomed to dismal and
humiliating failure. The Solid South
and the Silver West will join hands in
impregnable alliance at the polls. The
great middle west is with them in an
invincible union. Our intrepid leader
is sure to get a magnificent figure.
These states will give their votes for
him without shadow of doubt:

CHAIRMAN JONES' CALL.
He Appeals to Workingmen TO Assert
Their Independence and Rights
at the Polls.

CHICAGO, Oct 10.
To the American People.
In view of the fact that the great
corporations, with scarcely an
exception, and many of the large
employers of labor in the United States,
are engaged in concerted effort to
coerce their employees into voting at the
approaching election against their own
convictions, l deem it my duty to call
upon all those who believe in the
supremacy of the law and the I'M
trammelled freedom of the individual in
the right of exercising the ballot, to use
their utmost efforts to prevent the
success of this most fragrant act of
lawlessness, for if this conspiracy
succeeds government by corporations
will have succeeded government by the
people.
The corporations which thus appeal
to force and fraud strike at the very
foundations of Republican government
and the lovers of free institutions must
arouse themselves to save the country
from its great peril. Especially should
the workingmen assert their manhood
rights. If they vote according to their
convictions and in accordance with their
interests, the Democratic ticket is
certain of election, and in that case the
employing corporations will have no
desire to embark upon a policy of
punishment. In the contest that is
raging the salvation of the workingmen
lies in the assertion at the polls of his
rights as free and Independent
American citizen.
The perpetuation of this attempted
outrage upon free suffrage will work its
own cure. An indignant people,
jealous of their rights, will demand that
the legislatures, state and national
shall proceed at once by rigorous
measures to prevent the possibility of a
repetition of such attempts hereafter.
The national committee. backed by
the full power of the Democratic
organization in every state of the
Union, pledges itself that every
scoundrel, whether public officer or
private citizen, who is detected in any
violation of the law, shall be vigorously
prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary
if possible.

The Trusts,

Hon. Geo. Fred Williams, in a late
address at Lowell, Mass. spoke of the
hostility of the great trusts of the
country to the Democratic candidates
and their friendship for the
Republicans. He said:
All of the trusts in which every American
citizen has living financial interest are against
lis. There Is not a man here but who pays out
OF his honest earnings a large tribute to the
trusts of this country, that are unlawful, and
always have been unlawful and undemocratic:
trusts that are organized for the very purpose OF
preventing the true operation OF the laws of
Industrial competition, trusts that are created in
order that you may be compelled to contribute
to them. because by ignoring and defying the
laws OF the land they are enabled to suppress
competition and make the price of the necessities
of life and compel you to pay that price
Take for example. the coal trust of Pennsyl-
vania, which las raised the price of coal,
arbitrarily within the last few months 81 25 "A
ton, which amount you must pay. and that trust
in combination with the railways of Pennsyl-
vania is defyiDg not only the laws of the state
but the constitution itself: not only the con-
sIitution of Pennsylvania, but the interstate
commerce commission of the United States.
whose orders that trust dehes as if no laws
stood behind them
The people are powerless even though these
comb nations are lawless combinations. even
though they defy the courts of Justice TO prevent
levy that is made upon them every day because
the laws cannot be enforced against them.
The price OF flour is raised to every man In
this audience by combinations between the
elevator interests and the railroad interests of
the West The price OF oil is raised. and the
price of gas itself is raised by an Illegal combi-
nation which has dehed the laws Of various
states. The price OF meat in the same way;
indeed, practically all of the necessares of lie
are now covered by unlawful aud / may
perhaps say. anarchistie combinations

democracy would receive the electoral vote of
the state without fusion by at least sixty
Thousand majority. | am advised that fusion in

that the P0pulists in national conyention

themselves into the breach with the great rank

PROF MITCHELL declines to support the three
Populists on the Democratic ticket Thet means
a vote each for three of the Mckinley electors
This is a case where a man stands so straight
that he gets on the other side.-Fayetteville
Sentinel
Count Bro Hisss, of the Venture, in the same
boat-PREss.
This appears to be season when people ac
upon assumed authority. Bro. Durham in this
case, assumes considerably in stating that We
have declined to support the Populists placed
on the ticket for he can find nothing of thai
kind in The Venture, and that there has nothing
appeared within these columns which could
have been interpreted as announced in TIL
PREss.-Venture.
1t was perhaps presumptious in THE
PRESS to assume that what Bro. Higgs
asserts today would be criterion OF
what he would think to- morrow. THE
PRESS, like all the intelligent readers of
The Venture, supposed the following in
a recent issue of that paper meant just
what il SAYS: 1--WE WILL NEVER GET OUR
CONSENT TO VOTE FOR Tom WATSON. - In
other words, Bro. Higgs will not vote
for the fusion electors in Arkansas, but
will scratch the names of Mr.. Sover-
eign and the two other Populists there
by giving the Republican ticket part of
his vote. 1t is well known fact, and
no one knows it better than Bro. Higgs,
that the fusion with the Populist in this
state was brought about at the personal
request of the Democratic presidential
candidate, w. ]. Bryan. and the chair
man of the national committee, Jas. K.
Jones, through the chairman of the
Democratic state committee. The
Venture thinks that was piece of
impudence, as well as our ''assump-
ton that he would decline to support
the three Populists placed on the Demo
cratic electoral ticket. That our read
ers may see what The Venture did say,
and how far wrong our assumption was.
we copy the following extract from a
recent issue of that paper:
The fusion effected by the Arkansas Demo-
cratic central committee at Little Rock recently
was an unauthorized piece OF impotence, no
matter who may have suggested OF desired IL.
The state convention nominated the electoral
ticket aud the committee had no authority for
changing IT, The Democrats Of Arkansas owe
the Popnlists nothing and so far as We are indi-
vidually concerned we oppose giving them any
thing They have always been arrayed against
The Democracy. and now IN order that they may
beat our brains out the executive committee has
kindly placed a cudgel In their hands We Will

Mr. Bryan Immediately sent dis
patch of coincidence to Mrs. Crisp,
sympathizing with her in her distress.
MR.. cRIsP's FUNERAL.

AMERIcUs, Ga, Oct 26.-The
remains of ex Speaker Crisp were
buried in Oak Grove Cemetery last
evening. The body was brought here
on a special train from Atlanta. When
the train arrived at Americas the
entire population of the city was
gathered at the station. The vast
assemblage stood in silence with
uncovered heads to show their respect
for the dead. All the bells of the city
were tolled and added to the solemnity
of the occasion.
The easket was conveyed from the
special car to the hearse, which was
drawn by four black horses, each led by
sable groom. The Americas Light
Infantry and delegation of forty
citizens preceded the hearse, and the
procession started to the Methodist
church. The buildings along the line
of march were draped in mourning.
At the church one hour was devoted by
Mr.. Crisp's friends to viewing the
remains.
The remains were accompanied by
| Gov. Atkinson and staff delegations
from Atlanta and other cities of the
state: members of the Democratic Bar
Association Hoke Smith, ex Secretary
of the Interior Congressman Chas l.
Bartlett and J. B. G. Black ex-
Congressman Barnes military escort
of commissioned officers of the Fifth
Georgia Regiment and several hundred
citizens of the towns at which the train
stopped.
Gen. Clement A. Evans delivered the
funeral Grafton at the church, and at
the conclusion of the services the
remains were conveyed to the cemetery.
All the houses along the route were
draped. The procession passed by the
house in which the Crisp family dwelt
years ago. Friends had placed large
arch over the gateway on which were
the words: His Old Home. - People
lined the sidewalks from the church to
the cemetery.
At Oak Grove the military opened
ranks and stood at present arms. The
remains were carried to the family
burial plot and after a prayer read by
Gen. Evans the body was lowered into
the grave.

HOW GREAT A CHANGE.
Eastern Republicans Becoming Nor
Uneasy as the Day Approaches.


From the Little Rock Democrat
Frank Kellam, we'll known here,
writes thus to the Camden Beacon from
Washington point of view
Up until month ago the Democrats
of the East were barely hopeful.
Really, they were respondent, while
the Republicans were jubilant, exultant
and lordly. They pitied the poor
Democrats and laughed at Bryan. But
oh, what difference now Bryan s
winning fight against the great odds,
and his magnificent if not victorious
and triumphant canvass of the Central
and Western States have upset all their
calculations, thrown cold water on all
their hopes, and undermined their con-
tidence. They no longer ridicule the
boy Orator, but in their desperation
and dismay they abuse him as an
anarchist and constantly decry his
wonderful power and ability. The
metamorphosis from 'sdead cinch
Republican to doubling Republican
has been complete.
To substantiate my assertion in this
matter, will state that thirty days
ago money was freely offered in this
city at 10 to l ON Mckinley, and there
were no takers. Then the Democratic
outlook frightened bit, and some of
the money was nibbled at. The sky
continued to clear as Bryan moved
west, and a rush was made for the
Mckinley Doodle at the odds named.
But it had been withdrawn, and when
it bobbed up again to was the best
odds offered. This was rapaciously
gobbled up by the Democratic betters,
and Mckinley money once again
disappeared.
Once in while little of it shows up
at to / and is always quickly covered.
Two to one are the best odds offered
now, and the Republicans are little
timid about putting up their stuff at
these figures. 1t is highly probable
that by the day before election even
money will be the best speculative
inclined Democrats can get. Do l
think Bryan will be elected? l certainly
do. Aside from the splendid platform
on which he stands, which of itself
would elect any man had the party not
been confronted at the start with
obstacles seemingly as unsurmountable
as the peak of Matterhorn, and leaving
out the marvellous personal campaign
he has made, believe he is a man of
destiny and am of the opinion that
his star which rose so grandly in the
political armament that memorable
July evening in Chicago will become
fixed in the constellation of American
presidents.

All Fusion Possible Effected.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 26.-Today
George f. Washburn, chairman of the
Western headquarters of the Populist
committee, returned from the South.
He went to Georgia to patch up truce
but he found matters in such shape that
he came back. Senator Tillman met
him today and they held a long
conference, at the conclusion of which
Mr.. Washburn gave out an interview
Speaking of the negotiations between
himself and Senator Jones, he said:
There were a few states where
fusion was pending and we were trying
to consummate arrangements. While
we were arranging these matters, the
Georgia and Tennessee Democrats
rejected the overtures of the Populists
and adjourned without making a
counter proposition. AS these two
states were involved in our arrange
ments, this action rendered it impossible
for us TO continue negotiations. They
were broken off, and a conference was
arranged with Mr.. Watson and Mr..
Reed at Nashville, that might report
to them the facts.
IAN negotiations are now at an end,
and, whether our people and candidate
have been recognized to the extent they
should, or not. our committee desires
that every Populist should help to elect
Bryan, just as they did in nominating
him. Our duty Is to assure the triumph
of silver and settle party differences
after election.
Having seen Mr.. Watson $ letter of
acceptance, do you favor its publ
cationf'
Il do not see what good would be
accomplished, as Mr.. Watson has
stated the principal points in his public
speeches Therefore, do not favor its
publication.
Bryan leaders who read Washburn s
interview said that it meant that Watson
has practically consented TO get out Of
Bryan way. and also to suppress for
good his letter of acceptance.

SENATOR GORMAN,S FIGURES.
Bryan Absolutely Sure Of Election
Having 232 Electoral Votes, and
Sc More in Sight.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 90
Senator German of Maryland has been
in close communication with friends in
all the states and says that Bryan is
absolutely sure of election. Senator
German S opinion carries great weight
on account of his unusual facilities for
getting accurate information and his
known conservatism. Senator German
says that Bryan is certain of 232
electoral votes and that his chances of
getting all or the greater portion of
eighty six more are at this time much
better than MeKinleys.
The states that Senator German has
on his list as being certain to vote for
Bryan, with their electoral votes, are :;
