mitS that the State Is close.

The registration In Chicago is the great.
est Of any city In the country There are

Wat Hardin, who made the race on the
silver Democrat ticket for Governor of
Kentucky last year, is campaigning fer
Bryan.
Jesse Grant, son Of General Grant: ssIf
my father could vote to-day he would vote
for Bryan for President Of the United
States"
The cornerstone Of the hall of history,
the first Of the buildings to constitute the
American University at Washington, was
laid October 81.
It Is said that Mayor Plngree, who is the
Republican candidate for Governor Of Mich.
igan, and who is silver man, is quietly
telling his friends to vote for Bryan.
Special reports to the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat (g0ld) show that Mckinley will
carry Minnesota by small plurality, but
that the silver candidate for Governor will
win.
1t Is stated that Governor Morton (Rep.
OF New York will soon pardon John Y,
McKane, who was convicted of election
frauds In the interest Of the Republican
party in 1898.
o. D. Jones, the POpulist candidate for
Governor Of Missouri, has withdrawn In
favor OF the Democratic candidate. The
best Of feeling prevails In silver councils In
that State, and the Populists are receiving
fair treatment.
N. A. Dunning, one Of the "Middle.of,
the.road" fellows, has announced his in
tention Of voting for Mckinley. He Is
entitled TO credit for taking an open stand
for the gold standard instead of skulking
behind a side-show Electoral ticket.
One Of the official lgurers Of the Republi.
can National committee has given out some
figures which prove to his satisfaction that
Mckinley will win. His estimate of Ne.
7ads Is fair sample Of his figuring. He
places McK1nley's majority at $4,000. In
1879 that State only cast 10, 1855 votes in all.
1t win be seen that In such small vote &c
would be pretty hard to rustic $4,000 for
anybody, much less Mckinley. Circum-
stances are rather against It, even If the
vote was large. The Republicans Of that
State have named Bryan Electors.
The Chicago Record Is taking poll of
Illinois by the postal card method. The
silver men have been requested to refrain
from voting, as many Of them are in too del
icate q position to be put on record. The
totals are therefore in McKinley's favor,
but the number Of those who voted the op-
position ticket four years ago Is given.
The Chicago figures show that Of Bryan's
vote % per cent. voted for Harrison, and Of
McKinley'S 10 per cent voted for Cleve-
land. Ten per cent. Of the Democrat vote
goes to Palmer. After giving to Palmer 10
per cent. to Mckinley 10 per cent. and then
adding q liberal portion Of the Prohibition
vote, all Of the Populist vote and 81 per
cent. Of the Republicans, Bryan would seem
to DO in position to get safe majority In
Chicago, and II he carries that city he will
easily get the State.
