 brass band in Omaha had been secured for the parade Despite the agreement, between the opposing political parties, the democratic managers claimed to be fearful of trouble in view of statements that republican organizations intended to gather about the places where MT. Bryan was scheduled to speak and att . tempt to howl him down. That was theI given reason for not announcing the time MT Bryan would keep each engagement.
 Continuous cheering from the mob fol- lowing the carriage in which the candi- date and Mrs. Bryan were seated marked Mir. Bryan's progress from the station up Farnam street to Boyd's theater. The enthusiasm was rampant Not an inch of space was available in the theater when he arrived, and he received an ova- tion there and from a tremendous throng outside.
 Another demonstration occurred inside and outside Washington hail. and the candidate proceeded in his carriage to Germania hall, where he talked to an audience of natives from the Fatherland about what Prince Bismarck had to say about bimetallism. Metz hall, in the Bo- hemian district, and Moran hall. where the meeting was under the direction of the Swedish Bimetalism league, and Creighton hall followed in turn. Each was crowded to the doors, and MT. Bryan was received with the customary wild excess of partisan emotion. Gov. Hol- comb spoke at Morans in support of the democratic ticket just before MT. Bry- an appeared.
 Creighton theater was the scene of the last speech delivered by Candidate Bry- an in his remarkable campaign.
 These were MT. Bryan's concluding words, his last message to the free coin- age forces: Do you wonder that we have been able to conduct this campaign? My friends, we have been able to conduct 1t by unselfsh devotion by that multitude of men, democrats, populists and repub- licans, who see what the gold standard means and seeing 1t, have been willing to fight 1t in order to save their children and their children's children from this curse of gold. They tell us that we must bow down and worship the golden calf I say, my friends. that the American peo- pie will not bow down. They will vote to restore the gold and silver coinage of the constitution and lead in the restoration of bimetallsm throughout the world"
 MT. and Mrs. Bryan will spend the night at the Paxton hotel and at 830 in the morning will leave over the Burling- ton for Lincoln, where the candidate will cast his vote and await the returns

Chicago, H., Nov. 2.-It was a quiet evening in this city in the downtown thoroughfares, in the big hotels and other resorts for crowds politically inclined and of betting proclivities. The hotel clerks and employees of sporting resorts agreed that bets were few and far between and small The people who have crowded these places at night seemed to have gone home to get up early and vote. Political arguments and speculation were on the tongue of all citizens of pairs or more, and there was a general desire that to- morrow night would come and end the suspense. Most of the money wagered on the election in various ways has been put up before tonight and the odds on Mckinley winning remaining the same.
 A wind-swept rain fell for a short time tonight, but at late hour the stars are out.

Bryans Reception at Omaha Worthy
 the Greatest of Great Leaders.


 Omaha, Neb., Nov. 2.-W. J. Bryan's personal campaign came to an end in Omaha tonight. Never before in the history of the city had party feeling run so high on the eve of national election and ominous rumors of personal conflict between supporters of the great national tickets caused an uneasy feeling through out the community. Fortunately no clashes occurred. An agreement had been reached between the republican and democratic local managrs that the Me Kinley demonstration would not come in contact with the crowds that gathered to hear Bryan. This was carried out and the republican parade did not appear on Farnam street. the principal thor oughfare, until MT. Bryan had left 1t and begun his round of speech-making.
 Shortly after 8 o'clock MT. Bryan reached Omaha. He had visited four of the six congressional districts in Ne braska and made eighteen speeches, in- cluding one in his home town. An al- most frenzied crowd of enthusiasts greet ed him here and followed his carriage for a mile through the streets to Boyd's theater where he spoke first. Unlike the republicans, no organized parade had been arranged by the democratic mana gers and the Jackson club, the Veterans Bryan club, composed of old soldiers, and a number of other supporters who fell into line indiscriminately composed his escort. The republican demonstration was more pretentious. Scores of organ iZations formed procession that took an hour in passing given point. Every

 New York, Nov. 2.--The scenes in the corridors of the uptown hotels were eX- citing tonight. The Hoffman house lob- by, corridor and cafe were thronged with wearers of Bryan badges, who kept up continuous shouting for their favorite.

They se- curfa trace and on going to room in the ,outhern hotel found Todd and the grir He had already removed the han ,ile from it and substituted strap there for. In Todd's pocket was found pair of gloves which were identified as the property of a man asleep in the same room.

NO ESTIMATE ON OHIO.

Columbus, O., Nov. 2.-Chairman Caron, of the national democratic state commit tee, and Chairman McConville, of the dem- ocratic state committee, will give no es- innate of the election returns in the state. Chairman Kurtz, of the republican state cmommittee, lets his statement of Sat urday night, in which he claimed the state for Mckinley by 65000 to 100000. stand. Leading republicans here are in- clined to regard this claim as too high, but all think that the state is safe. The betting seems to support this, as the odds are ten to one in McKinley's favor on the state.

New York, Sept. 1,-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: When we said yesterday that
it looked like a puh market we hardly
anticipates the sharp and sudden advance
of to-day. Traders, both here and. in Liv-
erpool seem at last awake to the fact that
the yield of cotton this rail- cannot possi-
bly, equal the wants or spinners The
government crop report for the week made
public to-day, gives what we believe Is
true picture of the condition and present
promise of the ruined crop No wonder
that Liverpool clamored for cotton. No
wonder that January has here, after open-
ing 10 points higher, at 7S2c advanced
to S,25c, or "a points above yesterdays
closing price. Throughout this remarka-
BILE advance the trading was nervous,
with frequent but inconsderable reaction;
but the market readily absorbed the offer
ings at every decline. The close was very
steady at near the top prices, January be-
ing S.21Q8. 22c. The tightness of monev.and
the bad condition of,trade may cause oc-.
casional reactions, but we are more than
ever satisfied that cotton is going higher.
and we advise oursfriends to buy it upon
all soft spots.
New York Sept. 1.-The New York Sun
says of cotton: Cotton advanced As to so
points, closing very steady after sales of
10000 bales.
"To-day's features: Prices shot upward
like a rocket to-day and closed at about
the top figures of the day. There was
reaction at one time, and part of the i'm
provement was lost but the weakness was
only temporary and prices again rallied
and advanced. Liverpool set the pace and
local shorts fell over one another in their
anxiety to get under cover. The official
weather report showed a precipitation in
the entire cotton belt of only IA of an inch
at Beeville, Tex, and the signal service
predicts continued fair weather for the
next thirty-six hours with the exception
of local showers in the Mississippi valley
New Orleans bought, the southern spot
markets were more active at rising prices
and bad crop reports are coming on again.
The weekly weather report was bulhsh
1t is said that in Texas the outlook for a
top crop is very poor except over the
southwest and northwest portions of the
cotton district, where in some sections the
plant is still growing and blooming The
receipts were smaller than had been ex-
pected."
