you have listened to with an attention,
earnestness and interest that has never
been noticed in any campaign before.
The American people always want TO be
right; they never seek to be wrong.
They may be misled now and then, but
when conscience is quickened and minds
alert to the perils that face US, the
American people have never yet failed
to render a just verdict for country,
home and prosperity. This year, the
struggle is for honest money with which
TO secure our exchanges. AS an honest
peoples we believe in honest things; es
an honest people we believe in honest
dollars, as We believe that every oblisa-
ton Of this government, public and pri-
vate, is inv.olable and must be sacredly
kept We believe TOO, that we are a
country Of equal citizens; that there are
no classes, no divisions, no sections; out
that We are all members Of one great ma
tional family, having common hope,
destiny and flag.
Next Tuesday you will be called upon
in the sacred precinct Of the election
booth to answer TO our families, your
conscience and your God for the vote
you will give. l pray that vote may be
on the side Of right and justice and if it
be on the side of country. then you may
be sure il is right. i am prepared to be-
lieve that sectionaism is almost if not
wholly obliterated. The glories Of the
past are the glories of all, and we can
now stand beneath the folds Of our
grand old flag, proud of the traditions
and history Of our republic, all erect and
feeling that We have an actual interest
in the commonweal Of our glorious couA-
try."

New York, Oct. 31.-With the setting
OF the sun today, the active work of one
or the most remarkabi campaigns ever
conducted in New York state was
brought TO close. II has been strug-
gle upon the part of the Democrats in
New York state to keep the majority of
the Republicans down 10 a normal fig
ure and carry, if possible, enough of as
sembly districts 10 prevent the sending
of a Republican successor TO David E.
Hill to the senate of the United States.
Chairman Charles w. Hacke;t of the
Republican state committee says, in fin
ally reviewing the campaign:
The majority for the Republican cleo
toral ticket in this state will reach al
least 100000: in New York City alone
am sure we shall reach over $1,000 piu-
rality. In addition TO this we expect 20
clinch the question Of national control
still further by sending TO congress a
solid Republican delegation. l do not
think a single Democrat can be elected
in this state to congress. In the assem-
bly, districts. although the Democrats
are taking dickers for members. l be-
lieve we shall carry at least I12 Of the
$50 districts, and possibly 12o. That will
give US big margin to aid in eIecting a
successor to Senator Hill"
Chairman Ellit Danforth OF the Demo-
cratic state committee, says 10 the As
ISOLATED Press:
We shall carry the city OF New York
by at least 5000 and that vii elect the
Bryan ticket in this state.
The Republicans are counting upon
Q majority OF 100000 or more upon the
state but they Will not get II. The far
mers' vote will be a great surprise and
the normal Republican ma jority I'D the
state. which Is about 90 900. will be cur
in hail. We expect to increase the Dem
bcratic list OF congressman BY at least
five and are pretty sure OF creating a
surprise in the election Of assembly,

seems probable that the Democrats viii
make some gain in the assembly dis

Democrats expect TO poll bout $500 IN

preventing any probability OF the cleo

There is wide divergence between the
claims of the chairmen OF the opposing

days election. Chairman Wellington
OF the Republican state committee in
sists that his party will get not less than
is. 900 majority IN the city and that they
VIII carry the state by a least $1,000 and
that every congressman. with the posi-
bic exception OF Miles. in the First dis
trict, will be Republican and in favor OF
the gold standard.
On the other hand. Chairman Hatters-
ley w. Talbot OF the Democratic state
committee claims the state by from o.

congressman.

st. Louie Oct. 31.-The national CAM
paign was closed here today with pa
rades and speechmaking. From almos.
every residence, store and business house
in the city the stars and stripes were
swung TO the breeze, the demand for the
national emblems being so great that
additional supplies had TO be ordered
from Chicago at the last moment. Sixty
five thousand flags had been given out
to marchers in today's parade, and an
additional $4,000 received this morning
was also distributed.
Shortly aftern noon, under the aus
pices Of the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' Sound Money association, one OF the
largest parades that ever marched
through the streets of St. Louis, formed
and wendell its way through the bust
ness section Of the city. Business was
almost entirely suspended during the sf-
ternoon, more than $500 firms having
signed an agreement to close their estab-
lishments at noon, in order that their
employees might participate in the pa
rade.
1t took several hours for the procession
.
in which every profession. trade and in
dustr was represented, to march past a
given point 1t is estimated that there
were not far from 1900 men in iiney,
and according to the reports of the or
ganizers there were many thousands
more. The railroad men alone were rep
resented by 5000 men. There were go
many applications from clubs outside of
st. Louis to participate in the parade
that it was found necessary TO advise
them not to come.
Samuel n. kennard acted as grand
marshal, and was assisted by a large
corps Of mounted aides.
General Palmer. National Democratic
nee for president, reviewed the parade,
and tonight addressed a mass meeting
at Music hall, Exposition building.
The Democrats gave a torch-light pa
rade tonight and it was almost as great
as was that Of the Republicans. In both
parades nearly every one Of the march
ers carried flag. The streets through
which the parade passed were thronged
with people and all traffic was blocked.
Senator John NJ. Palmer Of Illinois pres
idential candidate Of the gold standard

KENTUCKY Is IN GOOD CoMPASY

Twenty Five Thousand Majority.

Louisville. KY. Oct. 31-Chairman
Sam j. Roberts of the Republican state
committee holds to hrs prediction that
that state is safe for Mckinley by $4,000
TO $4,000. He bases this estimate not
only upon his own poll of the state which
he says, was most careful, but upon the
figures given out by the Democfatic
campaign officers. He says the Re-
pubiicans viii elect seven OF the eleven
congressman Counting Breckenridge in
the Seventh district, who is on the BAL
lot under the Republican DEVICE and
have good show for solid delegation.
Campaign Chairman Sommers of the
Democratic committee claims the state
for Bryan by about 5000. He. says the
chances are very good to reduce the pres
ent Republican strength in the states
congressional delegation.
