Confident of Supcpss

Republicans Continue to lie Quite
Confident of Success.
Everything points to the largest vote In
the history Of Council Bluns today. Up
to last night the work OF getting voters
in shape was continued, and arrangements
have been made for caring for any naturali-
cations that may come up today. Several
hundred new voters have been placed on the
poll books in this way. The much-talked-
of silent" voter is what is giving the
managers Of both parties considerable con-
cern. The republicans are confident of car
rying the county by at least 600 majority,
and some good-szed bets have been made
on a 800 margin. The claims OF the re-
publicans on the Ninth district are con-
ser7atively placed at 2 500 at least the bet
ting against Genung in favor Of Hager is
mostly at that figure. The chairman of
the state central committee. J. II. Wilson
OF Casey, Is claiming the district at 5000.
| l. VI. Treynor secretary Of the state CEN
tral committee, has come home to vote,
and doesn't go half way in the matter Of
, claiming the state. Iowa, he thinks, will
go at least $4,000 for Mckinley, these fig
uros being based on conservative polls. He
said yesterday that the chairmen OF the
counties were all inclined to make a poorer
showing than really existed, for the pur-
pose OF getting help from the state commit
tee, and this estimate was based on their
returns without any allowance for this
feature.
The free silver men have come out with
scare about an alleged plan to work a
fraud by means OF a marked ballot. II is
the same old story Of getting an ofic cial
ballot and marking 1t for the voter. he
changing 1t for the new one he receives
from the judge, which in turn acts as his
voucher for the 81 he is to receive for his
vote.
4.
publican city central committee. said that
he would give reward Of 800 for the CON
victon OF any one caught trying to work
any such plan as mentioned by the free
silver men. He further added that every
official ballot that could he found to be il
legally issued would be redeemed by the
same reward. He branded the entire state
ment as a falsehood. and that it was but
the preliminary howl of the defeated silver
forces.
