confidence rcIgns In tho headquarters
ramp Of the Democratic party and In
that OF their Republican rivals, as well.
On neither side Is there q shadow OF
doub, Of the result OF the struggle. and.
IN fact, 60 sure are the two parties OF
victory. that there Is on both sides
feeling OF astonIShmcnt that the other
fellow has the audac!ty to claim any-
thing a, all. No two pugilists six
months before problcmatical fight
were ever more prolific in assertion,
more sweeping in prediction and more
eycraowing with promises OF covering
tie opposition with everlasting smash
and utter ruin than are the men in the
hsIiluarters OF both parties. ~
They can tonight see nothing but
the bow OF promise at all points OF
the compass and they arc confidently
boxing for tho sun OF the success to
rise In the same prodlgal fashion on
the morning which ushers In the battle.
Al both headquarters there was to-day
& general exodus for home and voting

LATER-The following final forecas.s
were made by Chairnen Hanna and
Jones tonight:
Republican National Headquarters,
CHICAGO. Nov. 2.
| am confident that the strength OF
Mckinley and Hobart in the electoral
coIlege as result OF to-morrows cleo
ton will not be less than Sl1 votes. Our
rolls. taken by trained men. indicate
that we will carry not only California
and Oregon. but every one OF the e.central
western states. including Missouri and
Kansas. lrs
There is reason for US to believe that
Texas. too, will cast her electoral vote
:lr the Republican candidates, and that
Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennes-
see and West Virginia, will be found in
he sound money column. North Caro-
l!nc Is practically conceded. Altogether
The victory promises to be one OF the
greatest that has ever been won BY u
candidate for President.

The forces back OF this movement are
not yet fully understood by tho con-
esFvatIve people OF New England and
some 0: the middle eastern states. This
