The republicans are making an ac, tive fight in Nebraska, but their claims of carrying the state for Mckinley are not seriously regarded. The plurality of lS,oco given Bryan four years ago will likely be reduced, and the vote close on governor and for members of the legislature, but Nebraska may be safely counted on to give the electoral vote to her favored son, William J.

Here is Ohio news from staff cor.
 respondent of the Chicago Record, a
 paper that Is conservative and non-
 partisan; From reliable republican
 sources word comes that Cuyahoga
 and Lucas counties are sure to give
 big maiorities to Bryan and the aggre-
 gate democratic gains in those cuun-
 ties Will have the effect of seriously
 reduc,ng the usually big republican
 plur silties in Ohio Estimates have
 been made ny republicans which show
 that the two counties will aggregate 9,ouo majority for Bryan and they at. tribute the slump from Mckinley Co the closing down of many mills that
 have been sold to the trusts since lsgf in spite of the promises of the bosses that votes for Bryan would mean hard times foc he miiluwners anu smaller wages for the employees The work ing people voted for Mckinley and Hobart because they thought repub- lican success meant steady work and better wages for them. Then the big steel and iron companies sold out to the trust and the shops began to 'close down for repalrs.' In the neighbor- hood of Toledo and Cleveland i'm. ported trust managers began to build barbed-wire truchas and stockades around the mills, and since McKinley's election, instead of permanent work and bigger earnings for the men, wages have fallen off and but eighteen months of steady work have rewarded the employees who voted the republi can ticket at their bosses bidding. The result politically became apparent in the gubarnatorial election when not republican candidate in Cuya. hoga county was elected. Golden Ruien Jones is said to he supreme in that portion ol the state. His cam paign for Brl an is reported as most disastrous for Mckinley, and there are conservative democrats who now in- sisr that repubIi 'au losses in that sec ton will be almost great enough to put the state in the doubtful column. There can be no douOJ that the demo- cratic gains in Ohio will be great, and republicans admit that 25,0OO majority is the best of their hopes this year.

Mir. Briedcnthal, nom. mated for governor in Kansas. We find Mir, Alschuler nominated for gov crnor m Illinois. and we find another German nominated by the demo. srats of Wisconsin, Mir. Bohmrich. In Indiana there are three Germans on the ticket, and l consider 1t con servative estim tte to say that i'll the states that l have mentioned, 80 per cent of the German vote wIli be cast for Mir Bryan. There are 64u Ger man newspapers in thIs country, and as near as can ascertain about twO- thirds of them are supporting the democratic ticket.

it's strength and the very life of the
 party in this state is dependent upon
 the imminent success of the demo.
 crats Under the common constitu-
 ton the state is to be redistricted
 under the next legislature, and it is
 admitted impossible 10 win then if the
 democracy is defeated in the presi-
 dential year, The leaders of Goebel's
 faction and of the Brown faction
 which fought him, are united in the effort to reunite the party till the state is again safely democratic. The present legislature, which has attempted but
 failed to repeal or amend the Goebel law, lays the blame upon the repub- lican minority, which they accuse of blocking it's repeal for the twofold pur- pose of preventing the democrats from reaping the political credit and in order to retain for the republicans the advantage of that unfair law should the democrats be busted. The imme- diate benefits must accrue to the dem. ocratS and although j. c. w. Beck. ham is supposed to be much weaker tbau his opponent, Yerkes, he stands good chance to be counted in. Even the republicans are not san. guine of success for Mckinley and Roosevelt in Kentucky. The prejudice against the power of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, the dominant cor poration of the state, and other natural democratic advantages satisfy both parties that Bryan will run far ahead of the state democratic ticket and win the electoral vote to d certainty.

The news from Ohio, like most of the political information given out, IS colored by the partisan views of the correspondent. IL K safe to conclude, however, that the plurality for Me- Kinley four years ago will be greatly reduced. Republicans generally be- little the influence of Mayor Jones of Toledo, but nevertheless it promises to be factor of some importance. There will also be a great change in the German vote which in 1896 went almost SolIdly for Mckinley.
