NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The Republican
national committee gave out to-day the
following final official statement:
ION the eve of election, the Republican
national committees forecast Of the result,
based on absolutely authentic and unim-
peachable figures and facts, differs from its
previous forecasts only in increasing the
magnitude OF the triumph which Tuesday
will bring TO the cause Of national honor
and prosperity. All the sources OF the
committees information. including many
who are unwilling witnesses. concur in in
dicating the conclusion that Tuesdays
election viii prove a veritable landslide
for Mckinley, and seal the doom OF Bryan
and Organism forever.
"The prime cause OF this irresistible and
overwhelming popular revolt against the
Bryan Populist ticket is perfectly obvious.
1t consists in the desire of the people to
maintain the prosperity which they have
enjoyed, and now enjoy. under the policies
OF the Mckinley administration, and I'm
their well-grounded fear OF public calamity
In case Bryan were to be elected.
THE laboring man, his wife and chill
dren remember the poverty, misery and
despair which shrouded their lives in the
black years previous to Mckinley's in
auguration, and they remember with
gratitude the relief which has come to
them since then. with abundant employ
ment and largely increased wages. Iney
listen now TO Bryan's invitations to throw
away their advantage. but they respect
fully decline them
1.-THE business men of the United States
remember what happened to them in those
same dark years, and they know what the
practical result of the election of 1886 has
been. In reference TO the rehabilitation and
prosperity OF all lines of commercial enter
prise during the past four years. They cor
rectly regard the proposition to indorse
Byan and his free silver and free trade
theories as nothing short OF insanity.
'The farmers are not likely to forget the
evil days when they were reduced to bank
ruptcy and almost TO beggary, and now
with mortgages lifted, their farm products
bringing greatly increased prices and their
homes filled with comfort and joy they do
not propose 70 change their conditions at
the behest of the false prophet of 1896 and
the anarchical agitation of 1900.
"All who have remunerative work to do.
ell who have wages paid them and who
have a business TO protect and develop.
all who have money deposited in savings
banks or invested In homes of their own
have been confronted with a threat to re-
duce the value of their prosperity by one
half and have been asked to ratify this
suicidal proposition by their votes.
las they constitute the great mass of
the American people and as they are sane.
sensible and honorable men the over
whelming majority for Mckinley and
against Bryan which Tuesday will record is
thus accounted for.
The people know that the country has
prospered under Mckinley, that wages
have risen TO higher rate than ever be-
fore. that employment is abundant for all.
that tho savings OF labor have increased
half billion dollars. that commercial pros.
rerity has been universal and commercial
honor safeguarded against the advocates
OF Reputation, and so they naturally have
decided to re-clect him and continue the
present conditions of prosperity and safety.
