REPUBLICAN CLAM OF $1,000 is
SHOWN TO BE BASED ON
PARTY DESPERATION.
WHAT POLL ACTUALLY SHOWS
is A MAJORITY OF LESS THAN FOUR
THOUSAND For THE REPUB-
LICAN TICKET.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBuRG, w. Va, October
15.-Hon. James H.. Miller, chairman
OF the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, Hon John T. McGraw, Hon. w.
E.. Chiffon. Hon. w. A. Ohley n
on. John H. Holt were here this morn
ing comforting with each other in re-
gard to the situation and the work for
the remaining three weeks of the cam
paign. They all report the outlook
as favorable Tor the Democracy and all
are enthusiastic over the prospects.
Chairman Miller, particularly, stated
that every thing is moving along all
right and that ne had no fears but
that the State would roll up a Demo-
cratic majority On the sixth OF NO
vember.
Mr.. Miller stated that the Democratic
poll, which shows the State to be at
least $500 Democratic, was made from
an actual poll of most of the counties
and that In estimating the others the
most liberal estimates had been made.
The entire poll has been gone over the
second time and verified and the orig
inal figures were not changed.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Miller that
there was considerable difference be-
tween the Democratic poll and that OF
the Republicans, who claim their poll
shows a Republican plurality in the
State of II, 1000. That" said he, lis
the figures they are giving out to the
public. | have the means of knowing
that their poll shows a Republican ma
jority of only $500 in the State instead
of q, 900 as they have been stating,
and that in the figures which make up
this total they count on a Republic
can majority of a thousand in Kanaw-
ha county, which they have practically
given up as Democratic, and five hun
dred in Wood county, which every n
knows Is more than Wood county will
give the Republicans, eve If it gives
a Republican majority at all. By such
figures as these they have figured up a
plurality in the State of $500, which
they are giving to the public as H.
600. The fact is that our poll is as near
correct as 1t is possible to make a poll
before the election and the results will
bear me out in this statement"
Col. McGraw, Mr.. Chiffon and Mr..
Ohley, all experienced politicians, agree
with Mr.. Miller that the prospects are
very encouraging.

candidates and adopt their platform,
but after all the question is left in the
hands of the citizens. No candidate
has any claim upon a voter unless the
voter believes that that candidate is
the best person to work out his ideas
of government and to protect his in

TRAIN AT YOUNGSTOWN.

Mr.. Bryan spoke twice in Youngs-
town, first in the public square II
then in the opera house. His exper-
fence at the open air meeting striking
Iy illustrated the futility of getting to-
gether excessively large crowds for a
political meeting. In the one import
ant respect of attracting many people to
see the national candidate, the meet
ing was an unsurpassed triumph; in
the other respect of giving people an
opportunity to heal him. it was a fall
ure and the success in the one way
was the cause of the failure in the other.
People had been coming into the city
from Ohio and Pennsylvania all day,
SO that when Mr.. Bryan arrived at 2:30
in the afternoon. all the principal
streets were crowded and the square
around the speakers stand, possibly
four hundred feet on each side, was
densely packed with people struggling
to get lear the platform and to secure a
glimpse of the lion of the occasion.
There was no effort to create trouble,
but the natural hum of the thousands
of voices and the struggle for place
was such as to almost destroy he effect
of the speech. The stand, provided
with accommodations to seat sixty per-
sons, held four hundred standing. The
arms of newspapermen on the stand
were pinioned so close that they could
not raise them to write, and those who
were twenty feet away could n 0 hear

JAM WAS TERRIFIC.

Mr.. Bryan himself had scarcely more
room than was necessary for him to
stand erect, and a squad of policemen
was necessary to preserve this space for
him. Those who were able to hear .e-
ceived the speech with frequent bursts
of applause and this was often taken up
by others far away from the range Of
the speakers voice, so that 1t may be
said that the meeting was enthusiastic,
even though most of those present fall
ed to hear what was said.
After the outdoor meeting at
Youngstown closed, Mr.. Bryan was es-
corted to the Opera House, where he
spoke to as many people, most of them
ladies, as could find accommodations
inside of that building. Both speeches
were general reviews of the political
situation. In the Opera House speech
he spoke of the Importance OF the cam-
paign, saying that the contest was not
more his than it was that of other
pectle who were concerned about the
welfare of the nation at large. He
referred to the presence Of so many
ladies', and addressing himself to them,
spoke as quoted at the opening of this
column.
