OF campaign of almost unparalleled interest
both the republican and demoeratic- peoples s.
union-silver state committees are claiming
Michigan by $4,000 In Detroit the demon
stratons eliminated this afternoon in a

men marched to display their enthusiasm
for gold standard principles. A marked

younger comrades. Flag day was generally

biz mass meeting in the AuditOrium ad-
dressed by state leaders OF the fusion party

has made three separate canvasses. which
it asserts have been very thorough. Its

Of the total registration Of about 500, 900
The earlier canyasses showed nearer 10000,
although the exact figures had not been an
nounced. The democrats made no systematic
canvasses. but figured their majority by es-
Inmates made from actual canvasses of GER
tain scattered localities They also autici-
pate the entire populist vote and large
part OF the prohibition vote, the latter bCing
expected TO approximately Offset the loss
of the gold standard democrats
Split tickets will be numerous throughout
the state The Pingree vote for governor
is asserted to be uncertain factrr as
come free silver republicans are ey ected

as one OF the close states and only Tues
days events can prove whether this hitherto
strongly republican state has really declared
for free silver.
The republican state committee officers
declare emphaticslly that they expect tc
again sweep the state on congressmen n, while
the democrats more modestly claim AT least
six of the twelve representatives. The gold
democrats have no candidates nominated for
congress.
