MICHIGAN CLAIMS.

Detroit, Mich, October 91.-At the
close of a campaign of almost unpar-
alleled interest, both the Republican
and Observation-Disclosures Silver
State committees are claiming Michi-
gan by $4,000.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee has made three separate can
vases which they claim to have been
very thorough. Their figures on the
last canvass just completed, gives
them $4,000 lead, equal to Z per cent
of the total registration of 100000. The
earlier canvasses showed nearer 10000,
although the exact figures have not
been announced. The Democrats
made no systematic canvass, but fig
ured their majorities by estimates
made from actual canvasses Of certain
scattered localities. They also antic
mate the entire Populist vote and a
large part of the Prohibition vote, the
latter being expected to approximately
offset the loss of the gold standard

CLIO ED IN OHIO.

CINCINNATI o., October 31.-The Ohio
campaign closed tonight with unusually
large demonstrations in the cities and
in many parts of the rural districts.
There has been much speaking and much
parading during the canvass, and especial
ly on the part of the Republicans, in this
State. The pilgrimages TO Canton have
done much to increase the interest in this
State. Before the campaign closed to-
night, there was a contest during the day
between the Republican and the Demo-
cratic organizations as TO how the returns
should be compared next Tuesday night.
The Democrats wanted comparisons with
the vote for Bushnell and Campbell for
Governor in 80, and the Republicans with
the vote for President in 90. a compro-
mise was secured by which comparisons
will be made at least in the returns Of the
larger cities, where The polls close at p.
m, with the vote for Governor last year,
and also with the vote for President in ".
But when the returns come in fast at
late hour Tuesday night, these double
comparisons may be found impossible;
then comparisons will be made only with
the last Presidential vote of 's2. In 1892
the Harrison electoral ticket carried ONO
by only 1000 and the lowest man on the
Harrison electoral ticket had less votes
than the highest candidate on the Cleve-
land electoral ticket so that one electoral
vote of Ohio out of it's twenty-three cleo
tors was cast for Cleveland and Steven
son. In 1898, Mckinley mad a plurality Of
over 1000 for Governor, and in 1894 the
Republicans carried Ohio by over $4,000.

INDIANA REPORTS.

indianapolis, Ind, October S1.-The
campaign in Indiana closed to-day 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
livelier than it has been before. Two
monster demonstrations were made
by Republicans and Democrats in this
city, both having parades miles long.
Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican
committee. to-day claimed the State by
$4,000. with ten Congressman out Of
thirteen. "The silent Democratic vote
viii be cast for Mckinley" said he,
"and If I am correct in this, Mckinley
will carry the State by 60,00O."
Chairman Martin, Of the Democratic
committee. says the Democrats will
carry the State by from $4,000 to 40
600. There is no way can figure it, "
said he tonight, "by which our ma
iority will be less than $4,000 We
shall certainly carry the State and will
elect nine Congressman"

CHAIRMAN BUTLER.

WASHINGTON. D. c., October 81
1.-THE election of Bryan is an absolute GER
tainty," said Chairman Butler, of the ma
tional Populist committee, in reviewing
the campaign tonight.
Bryan now has absolutely certain 25S
electoral votes. And his popular majority
will be larger than the electoral major
itv and it will be at least two millions,
which is about the size of the Populist
vote. The arrangements are perfected
and the lining up of voters, both Popu-
lists and Democrats, are far beyond our
cancellations. due more to the intense in
teresr of the people in the fight than to
the diplomacy Of committees who, how
ever. did all they could. The result now
achieved is wonderful in view Of the diff
nculties confronting us. Our party came
in the West from the Republican party,
In the South from the Democratic party
and TO some extent the old party pref
udices still exist. To line up this vote
solidlv for a candidate was extremely diff
fcult and although the Democratic COM
mittee met us half way. yet in many
States local managers. unappreciatiVe OF
conditions. added TO the difficulty Two
Vice Presidents caused great embarrass-
ment and the campaign would have been
sfmplihed if Sewau had seen his way
clear to- withdraw, but failing in this, we
had 10 organize Joint electoral tickets all
around. The party as we'll as Watson
were disappointed in not having one tick
or but il would be a Islander on him 10
saw he would consequently keep Bryan
From, Getting votes. and he will make no
further fight.
The free silver Republican vote that
will go to Bryan viii be much larger than
McKinley's gold standard Democratic
vote The two millions of Populists votes
will be practically solid for Bryan. There

solid Republican delegation to
Congress. In the Assembly districts, al
though the Democrats are making dick
ers for members l believe that we SHALL
carry at least 112 of the $50 districts, and
possibly 40. That will give us big mar
gin to aid in electing a successor to Sen
ator HILL"
Chairman Elliott Danforth, of the Dem
ocratic State committee, says to the AS
ISOLATED Press: 1--WE shall carry the city
of New York by at least $4,000, and that
will elect the Bryan ticket in this State.
The Republicans are counting on ma
jority of 100000 or more up the State, but
they will not get it. The farmers vote
will be a great surprise and the normal
Republican majority up the State, which
is about 5000, will be cut in half. We
expect to increase the Democratic list
OF Congressman by at least I'VE and are
pretty sure of creating a surprise in the
election of Assemblymen. In this latter
canvass the Democratic party is at
great disadvantage because Of the rank
apportionment of the districts by the Re-
publicans two years ago"

LAST DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN

Kinley by the hand, a Youngstown WOO
man tainted dead away She was carried
through the throng to the east side or tho
street. where restoratiyes were applied.
She recovered after a time and was taken
away in a carriage. Several others were
overcome. Two little girls about live years
old were caught in tine crush and almost
smothered. Strong arms grasped them
and quickly carried them beyond harms
way.
soon after these incidents the Niles citi-
zens were crowded so about the stand that
a panic was imminent. Major Mckinley,
seeing this opportunity proposed three
cheers for the old flag in the following
words:
My fellow citizens, 1 propose, mas
much as this is flag day in honor Of the
glorious old standard which we love so
much. we give three rousius cheers for
it and what it represents in cur national
life"
The people paused, the crush was
STAYED, and with great vehemence the
cheers were given. The crowd moved
away and Major Mckinley passed quick
" into the house. The move doubtless
avoided serious injury to many In the
crowd. .l-.

CHAIRMAN JONES.

CHICAGO. October A.-The great strug-
gle to right the wrong of 1873 has been
won. The only work remaining to be
done is to see that the people have the
opportunity TO vote as their consciences
dictate and that their votes shall be
counted as cast.
/ urge all lovers Of the country and our
institutions to exert themselves as they
never have before in this holy cause.
Watch the polling places; scrutinize
every act at the polls and see TO it that
the laws shall not be violated.
The committee has offered reward Of
500 for evidence necessary TO convict any
one guilty of bribing or attempting TO
bride any voter to vote or refrain from
voting Also a reward of $500 for evidence
to convict any one of coercing or attempt
ing TO coerce. intimidating or attempting
TO inumidate any voter.
I have received from our chairmen OF
each State committee full estimates Of
the standing of voters in each State and
am confident that Mr. Bryan's election
is assured by q very large majority. He
Will carry each one Of the following States;

BOTH CLAIM MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE, I'D, October Si.-The
fight for Presidential electors in Maryland
ended tonight with great demonstrations
on both sides.
There Is a wide divergence between the
claims of the chairmen of the opposing
committees as to the result of next Tues
days fight. Chairman Wellington, of the
Republican State committee insists that
his party will get not less than $4,000 ma
jority in the city and that they will carry
the State by at least $1,000 and that every
Congressman with the possible exception
of Mills. in the First district, will be Re
publican and in favor of a gold standard.
On the other hand Chairman Hattersly
W. Talbot, of the Democratic State COM
mittee claims the State by from 5000 to
10000 and he thinks the Democrats will
certainly elect three and possibly five
Congressman.

CHICAGO, October 3l.-The campaign
in the Middle Western States for the
most part came to an end tonight. In
Chicago and Cook county, where the heat
of the fight has been, the rounding up for
the candidates was finished this evening
and the last speeches We're made.
Both parties claim TO be sure Of the re-
suit, and express confidence that the
count on Tuesday night will show large
majority for their men.
The only change that has been made in
the estimates Of either party is the asser-
ton of Chairman Jones that Illinois is
doubtful State. He has always claimed
it heretofore as certain for Bryan.
Chairman Jones says that Mr.. Bryan
has at least 30 votes in the electoral col
lege, and that nothing can take them
away from him.
Chairman Hanna is far more sweeping
I'm his estimates of majority and Major
McEiuley's prospects. and says that the
Ohio man win have not less than 81
votes, and others may come later.
Both chairmen issued to-day their last
appeals to the people and say that they
have the victory already won, I'd all that
remains to clnch the matter is the count
ing of the votes.
In the matter of Congressman, mem
bers of the State Legislatures and smaller
offices on the tickets, the claims are of
the same nature.
The campaign in the Middle West, and
particularly in the upper Mississippi Val
ley. has been of the most determined
character on both sides. 1t has been the
center Of the fighting ground. and neither
party has spared any effort 10 win.
The statements issued By the chairmen
are as follows:

safe for Mckinley by from 1900 to 5000.
He says the Republicans will lelect seven
out Of the eleven Congressman Counting
Breckenridge in the Seventh district, who
is on the ballot under the Republican de-
vice. and have a good show for solid
delegation. Chairman Sommers, Of the

for Bryan by about 1900. He says the
chances are very good to reduce the pres
ent Republican strength in the States

FIGHT IN ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, October S1.-The fight for
Illinois that has been wased by both Of
the political parties in the campaign that
is just closing, has been one of the hot
test struggles ever known in American
politics. Both parties have all along
made sweeping claims of their ability to
cardq the State, but at the end
the Republicans seem to be more SAN
guine of success. Chairman Hanna said
to-day that he was sure Of the State for
Mckinley by a majority rather over than
under 100, 900, while Chairman Jones. in his
statement of the result, which he sent
10 the press this evening, puts the State
in the doubtful column. This IS more of
a concession that the Democracy has
made regarding the State any time since
the opening of the campaign. The
Democratic leaders have always stated
that they would carry the State by
large majority, and after the speeches Of
Mr.. Bryan in this city during the last
few days. they have expressed themselves
as being very jubilant over the outlook.
The fight on the national ticket has TO a
large extent pushed the struggles IN the
Congressional districts into the back
ground, people generally being of the
opinion that the Congressman would fare
pretty much in the same manner as the
head of the ticket upon which they are
running. The leaders Of the two parties
have said they We're going to have all the
Congressman, but they have in most re-
spects make good part of their contest
alone.
In the State at large the Republicans
claim nearly everything, and the Demo-
cratic assertions are no less sweeping.
Nothing but the count of the votes the
night Of November will convince either
party that it has made any mistake in
the ma ioritY of its candidates.

and that there is a strong probability
of electing two more. On the other
hand, the Republican leaders, while ex-
pressing the most complet confidence
in the results as being favorable to
them. will give no figures, saying they
are willing to stand by those they have
heretofore given, but that they will
make no new claims. They have here
tofore claimed a majority of not less
than 10000 for Mckinley.

There are eight tickets in the field, but
It is safe to say that outside of Bryan and
Mckinley tickets the others will scarcely
poll 10000 votes. Republican leaders claim

fusion silver leaders a plurality all the
way from 5000 to 10000

Democracy, claims the State for Bryan
