THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMO-

WAITS THE SLAUGHTER.
SUCCESS sTAREs HIM IN THE FACE.

lies on Disinterested Free Silver
State Chairmen.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27-Chairman Dan
lei J. Campsu, of the Democratic ma
tional campaign committee, received
today telegraphic reports from each
state chairman in the Union, giving
estimates based on the latest informa-
ton as to how the different states will
record theic votes one week from to-
day. These are the last formal re-
ports that will be made by the chair
saen of the different state committees.
Mr.. Campau said:
The Democratic national committee awaits
the result Of next weeks election with serene
confidence. William Jennings Bryan will be
selected by the largest popular majority given
amy president in quarter OF century.
He will have more than three hundred votes
in the electoral college Our reports from the
Middle Western states show the effect OF his
wonderful campaigning tour through them
thousands as a result Of his great journey.
Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Mime
success In Ohio and Wisconsin are more than
f1attering. The ever rising tide Of enthusiasm
for the great cause and the great leader OF
the common people will sweep those states

that Republican monopoly and Democratic
treason will be outvoted by more than 4Q,O0o.

and buy the American people is doomed to
dismal and humlliating failure; The solid
In an alliance at the polls. The great
middle-West is with them in an invincible
union. Our intrepid leader is sure OF mag
nifcent victory. These states will give their
votes to him without the shadow of a doubt:

In addition, our chances of success in these
states are far better than those of the Re-
publicans: Delaware, 8; Ohio, 20; Wiscon-
sin, II.
1t has been long. hard campaign, but
the peoples cause has never ceased in it's
steady march to. victory. Success is now
in plain sight. The brag and buster of the
Republican national committee in claiming
$50 electoral votes is shown in the inclusion
in their estimates of such states as Texas,
Idaho, Utah and Montana, where the majority
for Bryan can only be measured by consider
ing almost the whole voting populition for
him.
Chairman Campau gave the follow
ing reports Of the different state chair
men showing that the confidence OF
the national committee is fully shared
by the managers in the different
states:

timidation and coercion, which are being
practiced in all the cities and large towns

cannot prevent by any possible means the
