steady march to vic tory. Success is now in
plain sight The brag and buster OF the
publican national committee in claiming

the whole voting population for him.
Report. of State Chairmen.
Chairman Campau gave the following le-
ports of the different state chairman show
ing that the confidence of the national com
mttee is fully shared by the managers in
the different states:
Arkansas.
Democratic and populst fusion On tie
electoral ticket working harmoniously and
will receive at least 95.UsO votes. Mckinley
will not receive over 35Goo. Bryan's ma
JGrity will be GD,UJO in Arkansas"
California.
I'm my opinion, in spite of intimida ton
and coercion, which are being practiced in
all the cities and large towns of California
to very great extent, they cannot pre-
vent, by any possible means the election of
the fusion electors by majority that will
not fall below $500
Colorado.
Bryan and Sewall electors will have
12o,OoO majority i'll Colorado
Connecticut.
''The republicans are boastful making
reckless estimates without anything to
back them Impossible to make canvass
Workingmen, regardless of past affilia-
tlons, unanimously for Bryan. Republ-
cans are counting Mckinley buttons worn
by workingmen and basing estimates upon
them "orkingmen wear Mckinley but
tons to retain employment In one factory

Florida.
There is no doubt whatever that the
vote of Florida will be for Bryan and Sc
wall by a majority of from ten to fifteen
thousand"
From every legitimate source of infor-
nation we believe that Bryan will carry
Iowa by large majority. All reports
show daily increasing gains"
Idaho.
Bryan will carry Idaho by $1,000 ma
jority."
The corrected poll of nearly all the
counties in the state shows a substantial
gain over the first poll taken. There seems
to be no doubt of large democratic ma

are now confident of carrying that city
Making the largest allowance for the
doubtful vote, We can count a plurality of
al least 10000 for Bryan. We shall elect
fourteen OF the twenty-cne Congressman"
Indiana.
The situation was never brighter for a
sweeping democratic victory. / am conf
dent We will give Mr.. Bryan the electoral,
vote of Indiana, elect q legislature and
carry nine. and probably all of the thirteen
congressional districts, beside our entire
state ticket, all by safe majority Not
withstanding the attempts at coercion and
corruption the people are loyal and deter
mined. All the recent alleged defections
which have been heralded so loudly by the
gold standard press. are of men allied with
corporations and who fought the silver ele-
ment prior to the Chicago convention and
have given the ticket no support since 60
that the effect of their desertion was long
since discounted. The free silver renuhIi
can vote will exceed the gold standard vote
three to one.
Kansas.
kansas is absolutely safe for a majority
for BRYAN electors of rot less than 40 OOoO

Michigan.
There is no doubt that Michigan will,
give its electoral vote to Bryan. Our con-
clusions are based upon the following rea
sens: A harmonious union of the elements
