lowing to the New York World tonight.
in reply to his request for prediction as
to the outcome of next Tuesdays election:
.sThe defeat of Bryan for the presidency
is beyond controversy. He will not re-
ceiye to exceed 1853 votes in the electoral
college. This state may give Bryan 10000
plurality, but the result OF the suoerna-
toriaI contest is a matter of serious doubt,
with the probabilities very much in favor
of Lewis, Republican. 1t is estimated that
he will receive the votes Of 10000 sound
