STATES M'KINLEY WILL CARRY.
REPORTS RECEIVED AT REPUB-
LICAN HEADQUARTERS.
Not the Slightest Doubt Entertained
That California Will be Among
the Number.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The Republican
National Committee received more of
the reports to-day from State Chairmen
in response to the call sent out by Chair
man Hanna for the latest and most con-
servative estimate of the situation. Fol-
lowing are extracts from these reports:
ArkansaS-Result will be substantial
ly the same as September I'd. No hope
of electing Republican congressman.
Vote will be slightly increased over Sep
tember I'd. Hope to get in the Repub-
lican column in 1900.
California; have not the slightest
doubt we will win the electoral vote in
this State.
Colorado-Bell, the Populist Congress
sional candidate, and Shafroth, Silver
Republican candidate. will win. Bryan
and Watson ticket will poll 5000 to TO-
600 votes: Bryan and Sewall % 900, Nc
Kinley $4,000.
Delaware-Result as to Presidential
Electors doubtful. Hon. d. NJ. Wilson
of Dover says we will win Electors, but
cannot say as to Congressman.
Maine-We will give at least $4,000
plurality for Mckinley.
votes. Predict Republican plurality of
100000. Congressional Districts are
sure, except Ninth and Tenth. These
two are in doubt.
Mississippi-There will be $4,000 votes
cast, of which Palmer will get 5000
Mckinley 11,0O0. Bryan and Watson
1900, Bryan and Sewall 10000
North Dakota-McKinley Electors
will be elected by 5000 majority Can
didates for Congress will run even with
Electors. Populists and Democrats
claim the State by 5000
Oregon-Confident Republicans will
carry the State by $500. Situation
growing more hopeful every day
Texas-LaSt night it was authorita-
lively stated on the basis of the regis
tration there will be 525, 600 votes cast.
Some estimates make it as high as 595,-
600. This is an increase of 1OO, 900 over
the biggest previous vote. The increase
is largely in our favor, and Democrats
are discouraged over it. 1t is reason
ably sure we will get fair count
Wyoming-We will carry Wyoming
for our Congressman by 5000 plurality
and Justice of the Supreme Court by
too close and changeable to make a
close estimate.
Michigan-F. E. Waite, member of the
State Executive Committee-The trend
is all our way. l believe we are safe
for 80, 900. and may get 10000 or go
600.
Florida-No doubt about Florida 60
ing for Bryan. Democrats will get 90
T.r
Populists $500. May possibly elect one
&C ngressman.
Idaho-Idaho's vote will be cast for
Bryan. The Democratic Populist- Sill
Yer ticket will get two thirds of the
vote polled The three candidates for
Congress have an even chance We
hope to elect our man. We will carry
sufficient legislators to hold the balance
of power with the Populists and Dem
ocrats. Indications point to Demo-
cratic successor to Senator Dubois. He
is practically out of the race.
Iowa-Complete poll indicates $4,000
Republican plurality. Chances are
it will go above this.
Pennsylvania - Will give Mckinley
100000 plurality. Bryan will get 400,-
Geo votes.
innesota-Minneapol will give Nc
Kinley 5000 majority Later reports
make me raise my estimate of the re-
suit in the State from $4,000 to 3O,OOO
and probably $4,000. The last poll
shows a majority for Mckinley of 3d.
10.
Idaho has been placed among the sure
for Bryan States.
Colonel Hahn, whose duties as head
of the Speakers Bureau are practically
ended, received the following telegram
to-day from National Committeeman
Scott Of the New York headquarters:
'Shake, old man. We will give you
New England, Pennsylvania, New York,
Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina
Virginia, West Virginia and Tennes-
see"
Colonel Hahn said that he did not
claim North Carolina and Tennessee
because in the first State there was
complete fusion Of the Democrats and
Populists, and in Tennessee he was
afraid there would be repetition of
the counting out of Hon. Clay Evans.
Chairman Hahn tonight gava out q
statement claiming that Mckinley
would receive 314 electoral votes from
twenty mine States, as follows: Califor-
MIA, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Dakota.
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Washington, West Virginia,
