CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Headquarters
gossip today was mainly of the great
parades yesterday and last night The
managers of both parties seemed well
satisfied with the showing made. At
the Republican headquarters the num-
Der of men in line was expiated upon,
while across the street the Democrats
claimed virtually all the enthusiasm
and that the difference in numbers was
due TO many Democrats being
COMPELLED BY THEIR EMPLOY
ERs
to march in the afternoon, and being,
in consequence, too weary to join in
the night demonstration, as their SYM
pathies would have led them TO do.
The daily bulletin from Democratic
headquarters announces that: Every
day brings fresh acquisitions to the
standard of Bryan and free silver, not
only throughout the west, but in Chi
cage. Among the prominent citizens
who have come out strong in favor of
Bryan are ex-President Frank Wen
ter of the Chicago sanitary board, and
Michael Brennan. ex-chief of police
Mr.. Wenter. who is popular among the
Germans and has d large following,
will speak for Bryan and Altgeld dur
ing the remainder of the campaign.
His support, it is asserted, will bring
to that cause thousands of votes. Mr..
Brennan was chief of police during the
strike of 1894, and knows all about the
conditions leading up to it,
IS LOSING GROUND.
I'm Western Springs, a suburban
town seventeen miles west of Cniea-
co. says the bulletin, there is not a
single adherent of Mckinley, while a
month ago there were $50.
"Of the twenty-six German Catholic
priests in Chicago, twenty-three are
pronounced for Bryan, free silver and
humanity About the same proportion
exists in the Protestant German
churches. This is q result of an actual
canvass, and IS a refutation of the
charge that the Germans are for the
gold standard.
Some remarkable figures are
brought out by Republican claims that
wheat had advanced because of the
belief that NIcKinley's election is as
sured. 1t is stated that when Vermont
went Republican wheat fell 21z points;
when Arkansas went Democratic,
wheat went up two points; when Maine
went Republican, wheat fell two
points; when (Bismarcks letter APP
peared, wheat went up twelve points;
when the Republican managers in Sep

WE'RE CLAIMING EVERYTHING,
wheat slumped from 20 to Sc cents and
fell steadily until the election returns
came in from Georgia and Florida,
when it recovered to 691z.
The conclusion drawn is that no.
body who viii study dates will find
this statement is true; it means that
wheat will be 81 a bushel when Bryan
is elected"
The charge that Hon. Richard Bland
is suIking in his tent is refuted. it
! being stated that Mr.. Bland has writ
ten headquarters that he is physically
unable to make any speeches outside
of his own congressional district. In
his letter Mr.. Bland expresses his great
regret that he is unable to take the
stump. He further states that had he
/ personally the naming of the man to
/ lead the free silver forces, his choice
would have been William Jennings
Bryan.
Governor Altgeld called on Chair
man Jones today. He assured the
chairman that Bryan will come up to
/ Cook county with not less than 10000,
and believes it may reach $4,000. He
predicts a large majority in Cook coun-
" also.
