IN MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE. Nd, Oct. 31.-The fight
for presidential electors in Maryland
ended tonight with great demonstra-
tions on both sides. There is a wide di-
yergence between the claims of the
chairmen of the opposing committees
as to the result on next Tuesday. Chair
man Wellington of the Republican state
committee insists that his party will get
not less than $4,000 majority in the city,
and that they will carry the state by
at least $4,000, and that every congress-
man, with the possible exception of
Miles, in the First district, will be Re-
publican and in favor of the gold stand
ard.
On the other hand Chairman H. w.
Talbot of the Democratic state commit
tee, claims the state by from 5000 to
10000, and thinks the Democrats will
certainly elect three, and possibly five,
congressman.
IN ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The fight for H.
linois that has been waged by both of
the leading political parties in the cam
pagn that is just closing has been one
of the hottest struggles ever known in
American politics. Both parties have all
along made sweeping claims of their
ability to carry the state. but at the end
the Republicans seem the more SAN
guine of success. Chairman Hanna
said today that he was sure of the state
for Mckinley by a majority rather over
than under 100000, while Chairman
Jones, in his estimate of the result which
he sent to the press this evening, puts
the state in the doubtful column.

campaign closed tonight with unusually
large demonstrations in the cities and
in many parts OF the rural districts.

even chance in Ohio and that the result
will be even closer than at the last pres
idential election, with a probability on
their advices of Bryan getting the cleo
toral vote.
IN IOWA.
DES MONIES, Iowa. Oct. 31.-Chair-
man Curry of the Democratic state COM
mittee, through Secretary Carr, has is
sued claim that the state will give
Bryan 10000 plurality, This claim is
not based on poll of the state, but on
letters from the different county chair
men. Chairman Mcmillan of the Re
publican state committee estimates
that Mckinley will have at least $4,000
plurality. This estimate is based on a
careful poll of the state.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct 31-At the close
Of campaign Of almost unparalleled
interest, both the Republican and Dem
acratic-People's union silver state COM
mittees are claiming Michigan by $4,000.
The Republican state central commit
tee has made three separate canvasses,
which they claim to have been very thor
ough. Their figures on the last can
vass, just completed, give them 80, 900
majority. The Democrats made no sys-
tematic canvass, but figured their ma
| jority by estimates from actual can
vases of certain scattered localities.
IN INDIANA
! INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 31-The
campaign in Indiana closed today and
! speakers from the state are congregat-
| ing here to make final estimates of the
result. That the state is in doubt, there
is no question and betting tonight is

committee today claimed the state by
25,000 with ten congressman out of thir-
teen. 1.-The silent Democratic vote will
be cast for Mckinley" said he, land if
am correct in this Mckinley will carry
the state by 10000 majority.

! committee says the Democrats will car
ry the state by from $4,000 to 100000

tonight, "by which our majority will be
less than $4,000. We shall certainly car
ry the state and will elect nine con-
gressmen."
IN KENTUCKY.
/ LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 31-Chair-
man Sam ]. Roberts of the Republican
state committee holds to his prediction
| that Kentucky is safe for Mckinley by
| from 5000 to $4,000. He bases this state
ment not only upon his own poll of Che
state which, he says, was most CAREFUL.
but upon the figures given out by the
Democratic campaign officers. He says
the Republicans will elect seven of the
eleven congressman, counting Breckin-
| ridge in the Seventh district, who is on
the ballot under the Republican device,
and have show for a solid delegat ton.
Chairman Sommers of the Democratic
committee claims the state for BRYAN
by about $4,000. He says the chances
are very good to reduce the present Re
publican strength in the states congres
! sional delegation.
