REPUBLICAN MANAGERS CONFIDENT.
Republican managers at National. State and
county HEADQUARTERS were kept busy to-day
ewering the question: Does the Bryan demon
straton reduce your confidence in Illinois going
for Mckinley" Many people called up by tee-
phone. and others asked the question in person.
Some Of the inquirers may have been Democrats
intending TO have fun with the leaders. but most
Of them We're Republicans who were eager 10

Why. look AT the facts in the case. Is it any
wonder that city Of nearly two millions OF
people should turn out good crowd TO hear

Know that hundreds Of Republicans attended

means follows that they will vote for him. 1t is
NOT every day that a nominee for the highest

nave been strange. indeed. had he not been
sleeted by large crowd. Had Major Mckinney

much as this city is noted for its crowds.
