A SWEEPING VICTORY.

State Chairman Troup as Confident o.
Popocratic Success-More, He CIaimt
That the State viii be Found in the
Bryan Column-A Batch of News Bearing
Upon Things Political.
Chairman Macdonald and his corps
of assistants carried on the work of the
campaign until late hour Saturday
evening. 1t was after midnight when
the doors at headquarters were closed
Yesterday no work was DONE This
morning activity will be renewed, and
until the polls close tomorrow there
will be no intermission.
Chairman Macdonald predicts an
overwhelming defeat for the Boy Ora
tor, and that the whole republican state
and legislative ticket will be elected.
The usual republican plurality of 100
in the Eighth ward will be increased tc
5O0, said a prominent democratic voter
in that ward last evening.
The Eleventh, Twelfth and Four
teenth Ward Republican club will hold
it's last rally Of the campaign at the
headquarters, 377 Grand avenue, this
evening. Joseph M. Fitzpatrick and
other well known local speakers will
discuss the issues of the campaign.
The local sound money men and the
republicans distributed throughout the
Third and Fourth wards copies OF
Bourke Cockran's Grand Rapids speech
but according to reliable authority very
few ever reached the voters, as an or
ganized band of popocrats, acting un-
der instructions from the town COM
mitteemen, has followed the distribu-
tors of the sound money literature and
taken it from the doorsteps and yards
before the voters had chance to read
it.
Much talk has been INDUCED in al
the popocratic headquarters about
throwing out the national democratic
party's ballots. 1t is not believed by
any that there will be any attempt to
do so. The sound money men are pre-
pared to fight their case in court If the
ballots are thrown out. Colonel Osborn
said last evening that the national
democrats were prepared to meet any
emergency.
The local popocrats held volunteer
meeting in ST. Aloysius hall yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of finding
out how many men would agree tc
work at the polls to morrow About
400 voters were present. Alexandei
Troup, chairman of the state centra
committee, addressed few remarks tc
the audience, setting forth the necessi.
ty of working for the election of thu
popocratic candidates:
He said in part: Il have called yot
together to-day so that we may have
volunteer workers on election day. The
state is ours with proper work. The re.
publicans realize this, and already theil
forces are beginning to scatter The
only possible chance they have of win.
ming Connecticut will be the
result of over confidence on oul
part AS for the city, there
are unmistakable signs of an old time
majority for the democratic ticket but
we must work. That is the condition o.
success. Now, how many men are
there here to-day that will pledge
themselves to work for the election OF
