CAMPING ON HIS TRAIL.
John P. Irish Will Follow Bryan and
Speak After Him To-Day.

LINCOLN (Neb.), Nov. 1.-When
William J. Bryan starts out tomorrow
on his trip through his own State he will
be followed at no great distance by
John P. Irish of California who will
strive to undo whatever Mr.. Bryan &C
complishes. This programme was de-
cided upon by the National Democrats
the programme of sending man to per-
form that duty for the Republicans.
Mr.. Irish is known in the State as an
aggressive and skilled debater on the
money question, and when he and Mr..
Bryan met last spring in joint discus
sion the audience decided it a drawn
battle. 1t is improbable that Mr. Irish
will follow Mr. Bryan throughout the
day, but arrangements for his reception
have been made in most of the larger
towns to be visited.
While party feeling is at high pitch
no trouble is expected as result of the
Irish programme The stops generally
will be short and reports from the towns
to be visited indicate no feeling of re-
sentiment towards the gold standard
advocate unless it be at Hastings,
where Mr.. Bryan's followers are inclined
to be bitter. Preparations on an elabor-
ate scale have been made for the recep-
ton of both men, but any direct insult
win hardly be offered to either unless
there be greater cause for it than is now
evident

A SLIGHT MATTER.
Chairman Butler Claims the FURRY
Was Not Worth Noticing,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The furry
in the fusion camp in North Carolina,
arising from causes which are as care
fully guarded from publicity as Mr..
WatSon'S letter of acceptance, and
which SO disturbed Democratic and
Populist headquarters Thursday even
ing in the absence of Senator Butler,
Chairman of the National Populist
Committee, was not considered by Mr..
Butler on his return Of sufficient impor-
tance to warrant a trip to Raleigh TO
compose it.
Il have investigated the matter" he
said. and sent a telegram to Raleigh
in respect thereto.
No, l do not care to state what the
report was, but it should not have
caused the cornmoticn it did,
Supporting his claim that Bryan will
be elected by a handsome majority,
Senator Butler asserted that the Silver
republican vote would largely exceed
that of the Gold Democrats, and
larger portion of the labor vote would
be cast for Bryan than for any previous
Democratic candidate.
The 100000 Populist votes, he con-
tended, would be thrown solidly for
Bryan, and this being the balance of
power in every one of the so-called
doubtful States would give Bryan not
only a good majority in the Electoral
College, but a big majority of the pop
ular vote

CARDINAL GIBBONS SPEAKS.
He Says the rlinority Will Bow to
the r1ajOrity'S Will.

BALTIMORE, Nov. cardinal Glib
bons touched upon the political situa-
ton in his sermon at the Cathedral this
morning. He said: I'VE are on the eve
OF Presidential election, both great
parties contending for the mastery
They are leaving no stone unturned in
order to be successful. A foreigner
looking on and witnessing the violent
denunciation that one party is uttering
against another and the terrible predic-
tons in regard to the future of the
country if the other party were to win,
would think that we are on the verge of
dreadful revolution.
"On next Wednesday morning he
would find that it was but bloodless
revolution, one effected not by bullets
but by ballots. A man is to be chosen
to the highest position in the gift of his
fellows and important issues are at
stake. Yet on next Wednesday the mi
nority will bow gracefully to the will
of the majority; the country will sur
viye and the nation will flourish and
he perpetuated.'

MORE RIOTING.
Opposing Parties Have Another Fight
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The police were
called upon tonight to quell a political
row on the West Side. Fifteen or twen-
ty people were battered and bruised.
The fight took place in front of a Re-
publican meeting place at the corner
Of Union and Madison streets. From
near by hall came crowd Of silver men
who were marching. When they ar
rived in front of the Mckinley hall it is
alleged they stopped and commenced
shouting for Bryan, thereby interrupt
ing the speakers inside who were argu-
ing for a gold standard. There was a
general exit from the hall and the two
crowds came together and the fight be-
came SO mixed that it is said the COM
batants could not tell their friends from
their enemies but We're striking at ran
dom. A riot call was sent in to the
nearest police station and twenty-five
policemen were sent to the scene. The
police soon restored order No one was
seriously injured.

CLEVELAND GOES CUNNING.
He Will Not Return Until After the
Election.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA Sun" dis
patch from Washington says: President
Cleveland left Washington tonight and
it is understood that he has gone off on
one of his periodical cunning trips
in the lower Potomac River and Ches-
apeake Bay. The fact that Commander
IIamebrton of the navy, who is on duty
in the Lighthouse Board, also left the
city last night indicates that the Presi-
dent has embarked upon one of the
lighthouse tenders, either the Violet or
some other Government craft with a
floral name.
At the White House no information
on the subject can be CLEANED, because
it is a rule of the President to permit
no one about the mansion to explain or
comment upon his cunning or fishing
excursions. 1t is understood, however,
that it is his intention to be absent un-
til Wednesday, the day after the cleo
ton. Under the circumstances the ar
engagements for receiving the election
returns at the White House on Tuesday
night will be Cancelled
The apparent indifference on the part
of the President as to the result of the
election occasions some surprise.

Several Fatal Political Rows.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-Chairman
Gowdy of the Republican State Com
mittee furnished the following signed
statement:
The campaign of 1896 will be re-
corded as one of the greatest contests
IN the history of Indiana politics Tues
day the voters Will settle by ballot the
issue upon which this campaign has
heen made. The people, of Indiana re
allze that the country is threatened
with crisis which can only be averted
by the defeat Of the free silver Demo-
cratic party, and with an abiding faith
IN the intelligence and patriotism of the
people We are confident that it will be
one of the most decisive victories in ia
Vor of the Republicans ever given to
any party in the State.
"A conservative estimate of the sit
uation at this time shows that Indiana
will give a Republican plurality of not
less than y, 0UO and if, as we have rea-
son to believe, a larger percentage of
the silver vote is cast for the Repub-
Ecan ticket, the plurality may reach
G0,000
The Republican organization in In
diana is so compact and perfect in every
detail that we do not believe that any
attempt by the advocates of free silver
by corruption or other methods can eff
feet any material change in the situa-
ton.
The Republicans will elect all of the
thirteen congressman, siXty-one mem
bers of the lower house of the General
Assembly and sixteen out of the TWEEN
tyfive Senator'S to elect. With the
nineteen Republican hOld-over Senators
this will give US thirty-five in the SEN
ate, majority of twenty. The Repub-
licanS Will have a majority of twenty
two in the House, giving us a straight
majority on joint ballot of forty-two.
This will insure the election of a Repub-
lican to the United States Senate to sue

which comes from a free use of money
aid the colonization of voters. Our or
ganization is complete in every precinct.
The friends of Mr.. Bryan are enthusi-
astic and confident of the result and
Nebraska will roll up handsome ma
1ority for her distinguished son.
We will not only elect Governor Hol-

an Adjutant aboard the steamship to

beard the steamship to see him off.
General Lee was very reserved as to
the true motives of his voyage. The
only thing he would say was that he
would see President Cleveland in Wash
ington.
Major Fondevilla reports that his
command had an engagement to-day on
the outskirts of Cojimar, near Havana,
with $500 rebels led by La Crete and
Aguirre. The first report placed the
rebel loss at twenty seven killed, but a
later one says that fifty-two were killed.
