OUTLOOK IS ALL RIGHT.
Democrats Confident That Bryan
Will Win-States Claimed
With Estimate of Majority

CHICAGO, Oct. Especial THE po-
litical outlook at the close of September
is of the most satisfactory character to
the Democratic national managers, who
are confident that the cause Of Bryan and
free silver has been receiving a marked
impetus during the past ten days. From
every quarter-especially from the Cen
trail Western States-come reports that
farmt rs everywhere are flocking to the
Bryan standard, while in the cities there
are ever indications that an overwhem-
ing majority of the labor vote will be
cast for the free silver president. In
many of the Central Western States, the
Democratic managers have completed
their first poll, and the returns indicate
that Bryan will carry every one Of them
by immense majorities A poll Of Kan
sas just completed by the allied free sill
yer forces shows that the Bryan electors
will have $4,000 majority in that State.
A similar poll of Kentucky shows that
Bayans majority will not be less than
10000, not counting the Republicans
who will vote for free silver. This vote,
it is estimated will swell the Bryan ma
iorlty to 10000 The polls show that
there are less than $4,000 gold Demo-
Gratis in the State, and this will m ore
than Offset the Populists vote.
Fusion between the Democrats, Pop
ulists, Prohibitionists aud Silver Repub-
Leans has been contaminated in Michi-
gan, a result which, in the minds Of the
most conservative politicians, gives that
State to Bryan by large majority. Re-
ports from Ohio received during the
week are of the most hAttering charac-
ter.
From nearly every county in the State
estimates have been made, and they in
dictate that Mr.. Bryan will carry that
State by no less than $4,000 majority.
The Republicans have completed poll
of Nebraska, and while they failed 10
make it public, the returns are known
by the Democratic managers and show
that Bryan will carry the State by $4,000.
The Democratic poll show that it will
give Mr.. Bryan more than 200 major.
ity.
Estimates from Iowa, by counties give
the State to Bryan by more than 10000.
In a majority OF the agricultural counties
from 20 to 80 per cent of the Republican
vote will be for Bryan. The Democratic
detection is insignificant.
A poll of Missouri gives that State to
Bryan by 10000 majority, and it may
run as high 5000
The Republican poll of Illinois, which
it is unnecessary to state was not pub
lished, gives to Bryan outside of Chicago
a majority Of % 900 The Democratic
canvass of the State gives Bryan nearly
10000 majority outside of Chicago, while
Chicago is expected to give him at least
$4,000 majority. This despite the fact
that the corporations and large manufac-
turing institutions are making every Ell
fort to control the votes of their employees
by coercion, intimidation the false repre-
sentation. The laboring men of ChiCa-
90, however, are aroused over these out
rage Gus attempts, and the result is that
within the last week a decided change
has taken place among the workingmen
which bids fair to result in a complete
landslide OF that vote to free silver.
This is the case not in Chicago, but in
every large labor center OF the country.
Taking the reports from the Central
Western States and added them to the
States conceded by the Republicans the
Democratic managers claim the follow
ing State as absolutely certain for Bryan:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colo
RADIO, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nebraska, North Caro-
lima, North Dakota, Oregon, South Caro-
lima, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming.
West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland,
Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, In.
diana, and Ohio-giving Mr.. Bryan a tot
al OF 3l7 electoral votes.
We may all be equal before the law,
but there's usually mighty sight of diff
ference in us afterward.-Ex.
