any possible means the election OF the
fusion electors by a majority that will
not fall below $4,000.
Bryan and Sewall
electors will have 10000 majority in
Colorado
SIMPLY RECKLESS.
< .aCONNECTICUT.-The Republicans
are boastful. making reckless estimates
without anything to back them I'M
possible to make canvass. Working
men, regardless of past affiliations
unanimous for Bryan. Republicans are
counting Mckinley buttons worn by
wor1ingmen, and basing estimates
upon them. Workingmen wear McKin-
ley buttons to retain employment. In
one factory where the superintendent
made a canvass in a room of 49,, the
canvass showed Mckinley II, doubt

Bryan, u; Mckinley, 5; doubtful, /. ]
believe there is a surprise in store for
the Republicans. Will elect congress
man in Second CNew Haven) district
possibly one in the Fourth Bridgeport)
district. The silver men are hopeful
while the Republicans are full of bluff
and buster.
IDAHO.-Bryan will carry Idaho by
$4,000 majority.
ILLINOIS.-The corrected poll OF
nearly all the counties in the state
shows a substantial gain over the first
poll taken. There seems to be no
doubt of large Democratic majority
in the state outside of Chicago, and we
are now confident of carrying that city
Making the largest allowance for the
doubtful vote. we can count plurality
of at least 10000 for Bryan. We shall
elect Il of the 81 congressman.
INDIANA.-The situation was never
brighter for a sweeping Democratic
victory. I am confident we will give
Mr.. Bryan the electoral vote of Indi-

and probably all of the Is congressional
districts, besides our entire state ticket

Of men allied with corporations and
who fought the silver element prior to
the Chicago convention and have given
the ticket no support since, so that

The free silver Republican vote will
exceed the gold standard vote three to
one.
SAFE FOR BRYAN.
KANSAS Kansas is absolutely safe
for a majority for Bryan electors of
ncis less than 10000. The state fusion
ticket will also be elected. We will
elect six congressman, sure, and nave
a good fighting chance for the other
two. The campaign is in splendid
shape.
LOUISIANA = Louisiana certain.
Democratic electoral ticket will receive
10000 or $4,000 majority. Expect solid
Democratic delegation to congress.
MARYLAND-Our campaign is ex-
ceedingly warm and we are more than
satisfied with the progress we have
made.
MICHIGAN-TEere is no doubt that
Michigan will give its electoral vote
to Bryan. Our convictions are based
on the following returns: A harmo-
NOUS union of all the elements that in
all past presidential elections have
constituted a. majority. These united
forces have constantly increased AZ the
expense of the Republican party. Not
a day but reports come from every
county asserting that we are steadily
gaining new converts A poll of 80
counties shows 2S viii give majorities
for Bryan. The precincts polled show
an average of Is Republics who Will
vote for Bryan. If the average in the
80 counties holds good Throughout the
entire STATE, 1t will amount to over
10000, which would indicate a majority
of not less than $4,000 for Bryan. This
calculation assumes that the gain from
Prohibition votes would equal the, vote
for Palmer and Buckner. There is no
escaping the conclusion that the state
is safe for Bryan and the entire ticket.
MINNESOTA will give
Bryan electoral ticket 10000 to $4,000.
