contrOverslesthathave a gitat ed I hat country
since the foundation of the government :
and the electors VIII have pronounced be-
tween two RADICAL y-uppoSed tendencies

upon questions lying upon the foundations
OF social order, with the issue depending
upon single throw of the dice"

the consequences OF free trade and with
Mckinney we are confronted with tariff re-
BtriCtiOns

OF American securities will receive for

Has 252 Votes Certain.
Chica go, Nov 3-NationaIC Chairman Jones
this morning gave out the following state
ment:
To-day the two great political parties OF
the United states go to the people ON the
most clearly defined issue presented since
the war Not in a third of a century have
the lines been so sharply drawn and the
limits plainly set
"On the one side is the Republican party
standing for the great crime against the
nation. 1t seeks by further criminal prac-
tices To perpetuate the effects OF that crime
against the nation, IL seeks by criminal
practices to perpetuate the effects OF that
crime in order that millionaires may add TO
the millions already wrung from the people.
IL stands between the robberies OF the rod
bers of the national treasury ana their
punishment.
.'On the other hand, is the Democratic
organization, al ways the party OF the Coii-
sttutiOn, the defender OF the gOVeriihehI
from those who seek its ruin. and now CON
tanning within its organization all that
makes for the liberty OF the people and
honesty OF government. Its candidate is
young, active and aggressive Against
him is the property OF Presidential syn
dicaie, a debt-r thrall lacking power
or Will to move independent hand or foot
"Can there be any doubt as to the out
cOme-the result at the polls? In my opin-
ion the question has been settled for weeks.
AT no time in the past month has there been
moment when my faith was shaken
Truth is mighty and must prevail. There
is nothing novel in this proposition and
by thu. end of the week its eternal verify
will gain be established.
.'As 10 tie details uf our victory see no
reason To change my expression OF Satur-
day. Mr.. Bryan has 252 votes certain. At
lea st Z 8 votes are in doubt.
