Bryan club of considerable members;
composed entirely of ex-Republicans, has
| been formed.
| AT Democratic headquarters today visi-
| tors comm eitcd upon the news received by
! the committee from various sources In ILL
| nos, all claiming, with confidence. Demo-
cratic SUCCESS there. Word was brought
| from Senator Jones at the headquarters of
| the national Democratic committee that
Illinois would be placed in the certain Demo-
| cratic column.
Chairman Hinrichsen, of the State COM
| mttee, has made poll OF one-half OF the
| counties OF tite State, and from these re-
| portsas well as from other informationnow
sa Us tina, the battle in Illinois for Bryan and
| free silver has been won, and that nothing
that can be done BY the Republicans can
| change the result
| Tie Chairman of the Cook county COM
mttee reports that Chicago, notwitiiStand-
| ing the numbering OF the city press, is IN
! line for Bryan, and that the workinsmen
| are us enthusiastic for the Democratic car
| didate as are the agricuiturists of the STATE.
| From Franklin county. S, W. Swain, treas
| urer OF the committee, writes:
The intelligent uupre JUDGED, common
| people are with us this year, and iross
| Il careful poll of this county, and from
| INDICATIONS all Southern Illinois will give
great gains. We have got Illinois now.
| The questinnis, are we going to permit, with
out great protest. the coercion of American

MR.. McMILLIN ON JERSEY.
Representative McMillin OF Tennessee
| returned from Trenton, n. j., last night,
| where lie addressed the Democratic State
| convention of New Jersey. Asked what his
| opinion was about the political situation
| there he said:
New Jersey is not a new Political field
| to me. l have campaigned there In three
| successive Presidential campaigns, and 1
| think l know something about the State.
| The convention held at Trenton yesterday
was very much more largely attended than
| that in 1892. and the enthusiasm for our
candidates was very marked, while con-
| fidencc was expressed on every hand that
| the electoral vote of the State would be
| cast for Bryan and Sewall. That was the
| decided opinion OF prominent men from
| every section OF the State whom I met
and conversed with. There is 10 doubt
| that New Jersey is today. as in the past
| Democratic State. and Will continue to
be SO.
-. have met many old friends there,
| including such men as eN-Congressnian
| Samuel Fowler, Augustus ". L. Cutter,
| Thomas Dun English. Johnston Cornish,
| William ID. Daily Of Hudson, and others.
| They are confident of victory, and the
| campaign will be vigorously conducted
| from now On This is a phenomenal cam
| paign III the matter OF crowds and en-
| thuSiasn. and / have never spoken 10
| more appreciative audiences than this
| rear and never to one more attentive
| and aDprc.i;tiye than at Trenton yester-
| day."
Judge Thomas J. Stealey, of Parkers-
| burg, W Va has returned from Phila-
delphia, where he met prominent men
| from several of the adjoining counties of
| Penns ylvania. He called at Democratic
headquarters today. He said
..The gold men in Pennsylvania made
| strong effort to prevent the Democratic con
vention from rca assembling at Harrisburg,
but without avail The electoral ticket
for Bryan and Sewan will be in the field.
| The rank and file of the Democratic party
are for the Chicago ticket and there will
he but few boilers, and many more Repub
leans will vote for Bryan than we will lose
My information also wasthat the Democrats
will gain from five to seven Congressional
districts and perhaps more. The agricul-
tural sections are undoubtedly for Bryan
and the lahoring men are also for the
Democratic ticket.
