a guest at the Capitol The ways aud
means committee was appointed by the
National committee for the purpose of
raising by popular subscription fund tc
defray the expenses of the campaign
of 1900. Mr.. Love has made his head

In speaking OF his mission Mr., Love
said: The work III this section OF the
| state has been very favorably begun be-
| fore my arrival, thu committee having al
ready received very handsome coDIrihu-
| tons from The Houston Post, Colonel
| j. NJ Moore OF Richmond Congressman
! r. II. Ball, Captain S Taliafcrro and MIR.
| j. j. PastoriSa. This beginning, largely
! effected through the efforts OF Tho Post,
makes me extremely hopeful as to the
ultimate result of my mission here" Mr.
! Love has recently visited the hoaduuar-
! tors of the National committee at Chicago
anu is well posted on the situation In gem
eral He was accordingly asked for an
expression of opinion regarding the probs-
BILE results of the election In ohio and
elsewhere and in reply said II believe
that the result of the election tomorrow
Will be IN the nature of robuke 70 re-
publicanism as excmplified by the present
administration, but the situation is en-
veloped by much uncertainty. I am con-
ident that we win carry Nebraska, think
we are practically certain OF Kcn'ucky
and that We have an even chance In ohio.
In the first States named tho anti-republ;-
can vote is divided. in Kentucky. by one
John Young Brown movement and IL Ohio
by the candidacy of Golden Rule Jones'.
II we win IN either or both OF these States
the victory will be tremendously signii-
cant. II we lose in either or both the
result will be attributable rather TO the
division of the forces opposed TO The re-
publicans than to republican strength"

Prof Puryear wishes to assure everyone
interested in the sport that there is alb
solutely no danger of a repetition OF the

the high standard it deserves said Prof.
