the News representative. He said
that he had advices from the state
committee of Indiana and Kentuck y
and that the claims of the republi-
cans are extravgant. He says that
advices from Kentucky and Indiana
assure those states for Mr.. Bryan
and that he is certainly elected.
Chairman Jones, shook his head
ominously when asked the meaning
OF the groundless reports sent out by
the associated press. Il believe that
when the rural districts are reported
and the official ballot made, that it
will show the election of Mr.. Bryan"
said Mr.. Jones. Further than this
he declined to say a word, but he was
evidently thinking.
NEW YORK, Nov. SELECTION re-
turns indicate that Mckinley has
shown great strength in unexpected
places. This is particularly true in
some portions of the south where the
popullsts seem to have voted for him.
In North Carolina and Tennessee Nc
Kinley has shown strength not fore
seen even by his managers. Iowa is
reported to have gone republican by
$4,000. This is denied by the Demo
Gratis. Gold men claim the state of
Kentucky by $4,000. They also claim
Tennessee by 10000. Phenomenal
majorities were given the republican
candidate in the East.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Returns come in
slowly, especially from the country.
At this writing, early in the morning,
reports are only from the large cities.
AS expected, they are for the most
part favorable to the Republicans.
The Republican committee, as usu-
al, claimed everything from the start.
But they are letting up. They first
claimed Chicago by $4,000, but now
are down to 10000, and will likely go
lower. 1t is evident that Doodle and
coercion have done effective service
in the larger cities.
Bryan's chief gains are expected in
the rural districts, and from them
but little has been heard-but that
little is so favorable to Bryan that
his election may yet be confidently
predicted.
The southern and western states
claimed by the Democratic committee
are unshaken and Chairman Jones is

hopeful of Bryan's election when the
country districts are heard from.
CHICAGO, Nov. A we'll founded
rumor is current, this morning that
a plot has been entered into to count
in Mckinley and seat him by force of
arms.
The inte ntion is to steal the close
states under various pretexts.
The extravagant claims made prior
to election and in the reports wired
to the people in bulletins were in
tended to prepare them for defeat.
This scheme has no doubt been in
contemplation for some time and it
is no doub5 wide spread.
The claims made had no foundation
whatever and must have been of a
scheme to thwart the public will by
fraud and by force if need be.
NO THRILLING WITH THE RE-
suit.
The Democrats are prepared for
the scheme. They will not be caught
in ~ to 81 trap again. If Bryan is
elected, he will be seated. That can
be depended on.
The rural districts where Bryan's
greatest strength lays must be heard
from before the result can be known.
1t is now known that the most infa-
nous coercion and fraud and use of
Doodle ever known in the country
has accomplished much in the large
cities. But it is believed that the

I" ! always enjoyed good health un-
til six months before the birth of my
babe. Then was very weak; my back
ached all the time. My physicians
said would be all right after the birth
of the child, but was not, although
at that time l had the best of care.
The pains in my back were almost un-
bearable. l had leucorrh9a in its
worst form; menstruations were pain
full.
Any work or care would entirely
unnerve me. When my babe was II
months old, friends persuaded me to
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. Before l had taken one
bottle l felt the effects. My back did
not ache so badly, and 1 felt stronger.
After taking four bottles I felt well.
My ambition returned, menstruations
were painless, leucorrhea entirely
cured, and l could take care of my
babe and do my homework. I shall
always recommend your Vegetable
Compound for all women, especially
for young mothers. "-MRs. Fl. II.
