And that Is why the Republican man
ayers on October 9Th made the parade
take a route shaped like a boomerang.
Reports received within the last forty
eight hours from scores Of points IN
Michigan. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wis

THE TRIUMPHANT ELECTION
Of w. J. Bryan beyond the slightest pos
siblity Of a doubt In all OF these States
a careful poH has bes2 taken, and AFTER
making radical deductions from the
figures reported. the majOrides are sucn
that no use Of money on the part OF the
Republican corruptionisJs can change

The desperate situation Of the Repub-
Ecen organization in Michigan is shown

In Iowa twelve hundred preclncJs

Zeal meetings In my life. The Republic
cans are routed ana disdeartened. Iley
have taken three polls of the State and
The best they can figure out is a major
i-y of not less than 10000 for Mr..
BRYAN. IL is impossible 10 estimate
what our majority VIII be, but the hg-
u-es will reach surprising proportions.
Mckinley will lose his own State, his
Congressional district,
HIS COUNTY, CITY AND WARD,
The Republicans of Ohio are
not for gold. and were insulted at
the action of the St. Louis convention.
They had been educated TO believe that
Mckinley was friendly toward silver
and are disguised a his subseryiency
I'm submitting 20 the demands Of the
Wall street gold clique and accepting
the nomination on platform repre-
senrrg In opposite of his expressed
views After Mr.. Mckinley was nom
mated thousands of Republicans pre-
excl that he would refrain from max
ing an open declaration for gold, and
tha. If elected he would favor a free
silver BILL They have been disappO.nJ-
er. They now realize that Mckinley
has sold himself body and soul 10 the
gold trusts. and that he will carry out
the bargain he has made if elected TO
force a permanent god standard on the
United States. There is no enthusiasm
for Mckinley i'm Ohio Chic day at
Canton was a dismal failure. The peo-
ne OF Ohio are az a loss TO know how
there is any enthusiasm for him in
other States. Next TO Mark Hanna,
Mckinley is the most unpopular man
who ever attained political eminence in
Ohio
I'm Illinois, Bryan will come to Cook
county with a majority Of not
LESS THAN $4,000.
From present indications he will carry
Cook county by a good round majority.
I'm spite OF the fact that the Republi
cans have unlimited money, and pro-
pose to use il co-~unt'ng judges Of cleo
tons and ir systematic Jhuggery at the
polls. Every move thus far made by
the LEGAL Republican managers has
proven q boomerang. MONDAY meet
.ugs Of workiugmen addressed by bogus
labor leaders and gold bug orators were
abandoned after a weeks trial Coer-
ciOn is a failure The sound money
parade was i'm the nature OF a funeral
procession. The use Of the American
Tag as an advertising medium for the
English gold standard has aroused the
hot Indignation of the people and the
Republicans would take down their
flags if they dared do so. Many OF the
leading merchants Of the city have de-
clarej for free silver. The most emil
nent preachers and lawyers are coming
cu- against McKinieyism, and i the
