He win Garry the County BY Mo-
jony of at Least For%
thousand

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 31.-The
most surprising slump ever known in any
campaign has taken place here during the
past few days, to the decentralization of
the Popocrats. Scores of Democrats who
have said nothing heretofore have come
courageonsly TO the front and announced
their determination to vote for Mckinley,
McLachan and the Republican county and
legislative tickets. McLachlan is likely
to have majority of 10, 600 in his district,
wh lie every Popocratic candidate Tor the
Assembly in this county IS sure OF defeat.
The second poll o. voters IN greater
part of this county has been completed
and shows the most gratifying strength
for the Republican ticket. The first poll
indicated Republican majority in the
county OF 1900, but. owing to the remark
able slump TO Mckinley, the later one in
dicetes a majority of 1000, while the nom
inal Republican ma jority is only 1000 in
the county. The canvass was made by
non-partisans, with instructions not to say
to the people for which party the informa-
ton was sought, and it must therefore,
be regarded as absolutely reliable.
Comparisons have been made with
neighboring counties, with the result that
1t NAV be safely predicted that Mckinley
will go to the Tehachapi with 10000 ma
jority.
been idle along the lines of securins polls
and maxim. estimates. Conservative fig
ures for the State given out to-day place
15, 600 majority in the Mckinley column.
The registration in this county has in
creased from 25 600 to Al 600 since 1894. A
member OF the Republican County Cam
paign Committee authorizes the publica-
tion OF the following estimates for the city
and county of Los Angeles:
MY estimate of the vote in the city is as fol-
ering, 800; Palmer, 800. Total, O,5OO.
Ny estimate OF the vote in the county out.
side of the city is as follows: Mckinley, 74O0;
Bryan, 5000; Levering 100. Total, IA, 500.
This would make the total vote in Los An
geles County follows: Mckinley, lie, 400
Bryan. 1890; Levering, 2000; Palmer, 30Ot
total, 81, 900; MeKinIeys plurality, 4100; Nc
Kinley's majority over all, 1900.
This estimate is made from as thorough
knowledge of the. situation in Los Angeles
County as it is possible to obtain and from
careful study OF the vote in former polls.

UTAH..
O4dn udu n
Committee.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Oct, 31.-The CAM
pEign in Utah, which practically closes to.
night, was perhaps the most uninteresting
waged IN any State. The free silver advo-
Gates are IN such an overwhelming major
lty that the opposition almost let it go by
default. 1t is conceded that the Demo
cratic, Silver Republican and Populist fu-
sion on the Bryan electors will carry the
State by an overwhelming majority; that
the Mckinley electors may get 20 per cent
of the votes to be cast and that the Palmer
and Buckner electors will do well if thew
get per cent of the total vote. There is
no fusion on the Congressional ticket.
Judge w. II. King is the Democratic
nominee. Lafayette Holbrook the Repub-
can and Warren Foster the Populist.
Holbrook IS not considered sufficiently
strong for silver to satisfy the silver eIe-
ment, while King is ultra silver and will
pull heavily from the Republicans,
and his opponents concede he will beyond
doubt be elected.
The Populist candidate cuts no figure
either way. The only real contest is on the
l. legislature, which will elect a United
States Senator. Both Republicans and
Democrats claim it, with probably about
even chances, but whichever party wins
will send a free silver man to the Senate.
The principal speakers in the campaign
on the Republican side were Senator
Brown, Judge Bennett, John M. Zane and
Ex-Governor Thomas, and on the Demo-
cratic and fusion Judges Powers, King
and Thurman, and u. Varian, ex-Con-
gresham J. L. Rawiins, David Evans,
Frank b. Stephens and Fisher s. Harris,
Senator Cannon and Congressman Allen.

TENNESSEE.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Oct. 31.-Both par
ties are laying claims to Tennessee, the
Republicans by majority of 5000 to Is. 00O
and the Democrats from $4,000 TO sc, oO0.
So far as the National ticket is concerned
there is no question of Democratic success,
despite the efforts of a few PopuIist lead
ers to deliver much Of that party's vote tc
The Republicans. As between ex-Gov.
ernor r. L. Taylor and G. III. Tillman
Democr and Republican Gubernatoria
candidates respectively, the situation il
badly mixed, yet the former in his cam.
paign has been accorded every evidenc,
OF heroic support by his party. There il
no fusion on Presidential electors.

NEVADA.

CARSON, NEy., Oct. 31-The Silver
Democratic fusion managers claim Nevada
for Bryan oy 5000 plurality. The Repub-
licans claim Bryans plurality will not ex-
ceed $500 and that the Republican candi-
dates on the State ticket will poll one third
more votes than Mckinley. The Repub-
licans have hopes of Murphy's election for
Justice of the Supreme Court. The Popu-
lists claim that J. c. Doughty will defeat
Congressman Newlands Ormsby, Doug
las, Storey and Washoe counties will go
Republican on the legislative ticket.

ers of the two big parties continue to claim
everything, but conservative Democrats
acknowledge that the State will in all
probability give its electoral vote to Nc
kinley by upwards of 10000 plurality.
The only uncertain element in the State
is the labor vote in Baltimore.
The indications also point to the certain
election OF four Republican Congress men,
which would be an increase of one. 1t is
possible that they may gain two. The
only district of which the Democrats are
sure is the First.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 31.-Reli-
able information from all the parishes of
Louisiana indicates that the election on
Tuesday will result as follows: Bryan's
majority in the State will be 35, 600 or
10000. The four Populist electors who are
on the regular Democratic ticket, as re-
suit OF the fusions of the Democrats and
Populists, will cast their votes for Bryan
and Watson, leaving four electoral votes
TO be cast for Bryan and Sewall by Louis
lana. The Republicans have good chance
to carry the Third District.

the situation at its close is very complex.
L. f. Fuller, chairman of the Peoples
party executive committee, claims that
Bryan will carry the State by comfort

claim that the carrying OF the State for

Stated Chairman Lamb and Judge Ed
mund Waddill met at the First-District
convention, held at Tappahannock on
Tuesday and both made speeches before
that body. The meeting was a regular
'1ove-feast." and nothing was said by
either gentleman to lead one to believe
that they had ever had any dissensions
in the party. The convention nominated
two Mckinley candidates-Dr. Scarboro
and r. c. Walker-and passed resolutions
endorsing S. y. Hardwlcke. of Westmore-
land, for delegate at large. The Nc
Kinley faction had control OF the con-
vention by to /.
AT the conclusion Of the business be-
fore ne body committee was appoint
ed to wait on Colonel Lamb and Judge
Waddin and escort them TO the hall.
Colonel Lamb was the first to speak. He
spoke OF the bright prospects OF the
party, and the desirability Of harmonious
action. He referred in pleasant terms
to all the aspirants for the presidential
nomination. Colonel Lamb said that he
was as DESTROYS Of harmony as any one.
and that. If the majority Of the party
were opposed TO his leading them, he
was perfectly willing TO 80 into the
ranks.
Judge Waddin followed the Chairman.
He congratulated the convention upon the
harmonious condition of the party In that
district, and spoke feelingly Of the re-
cent death of Colonel Mayo, one OF
the leaders in that section. Judge Wad-
dill. while complimentary to all OF the
candidates. was especially so when
speaking of Governor Mckinley and
Speaker Reed. whom, he said. he knew
well. In conclusion he congratulated
the convention upon the wisdom of their
course in determining to support Gov
ernor Mckinley whom he declared to
be the peoples choice, whose nomination
he predicted.
It is understood that nothing whatever
of an unpleasant character occurred at
the convention. and. in all respects. 1t
was characterized by the utmost decorum.
Colonel Lamb and Judge Waddin
showed the greatest courtesy and conside-
ration one TO the other. and, so far az
one could judge, there was nothing to
indicate that they had ever had tho
slightest disagreement or misunderstood
