Committee. furnished the Associated
Press with the following statements
covering the outlook from his stand
point:
The fight is won. Bryan and Stew
enson will be elected. The Democratic
majority in the Electoral College will
be ample. The Democrats will hold all
the States they carried in 1896 with the
possible exception of Wyoming. We
VIII carry New York, New Jersey
Delaware. Maryland, West Virginia
kentucky. Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
The chairman of the State Committee
OF California has just wired me that
we will carry that State by 10000 ma
1ority. In general way l should say
thai there will be somewhat of "a fall
ing off of Bryan's strength compared
with 1876 west OF the mississippi and
That east OF the Mississippi he will
make overwhelming gains. The cam
naign has been spirited from the start.
Inc Democrats were somewhat handi-
CAPPED for want of funds, while the
Republicans as four years ago, had
more money Than they could use. The
i,epuDlicans have endeavored to intimi-
GATE iaboring men and alarm these
men. but not with the fierce oppres-
SION they brought to bear in 1896.

Eresntion of combined capital. the

Bryan and the State ticket would re-

years ago Mckinley had plurality of

they carried two years ago and to gain
two Congressman. The Democrats on
the other hand. look for a gain of FIVE
Congressman. one or two of them in
Chicago. Both sides have fought hard
for the Legislature. which will elect a
successor to Senator Cullom. To Sc
cure a majority on joint ballot the
Democrats will have to carry all the

The control of the Legislature is largely

IN OHIO
Cincinnati. o.. Nov. 3-The campaign
in Ohio closed to-day with day and
night meetings everywhere. While
there have been many meetings in
Ohio, they have not had many promi-
nent speakers from other States. 1t
was reported that the Democratic
managers thought they could use
leading national speakers in more
doubtful States to better advantage,
and that the national Republican man
ayers had so much confidence in Chair
man Dick that they left him without
much foreign assistance.
