Systematically fought campaigns in the
history of Nebraska practically closed with

The Democrats are decidedly confident nf
the result. but the Republicans ar. making
large claims. which they aliege will be

Chairman Lindsay. of the Republican Com
mittee. says Mckinley will get 500 to 100
plurality. and the whole State ticket with
four Congressman will he elected.
Chairman Hall says his most conserya-
tive estimate is that Bryan will carry Ne

congressional districts are sure. with The
other two, the First and Second. likely 10
return Populist and Democratic member,

KENTUCKY.

Louisville, Ky. Nov. S.-One of the most
memorable political campaigns ever known
in Kentucky came to a remarkably quiet
close tonight. with both Democrats and
Republicans claiming to be stronger than
ever before.
The lines however, cannot be said 10 be
drawn between Democrats and Republicans,
for the Goebel assassination and the last
gubernatorial election are issues which over

made a most vigorous campaign and has
stumped the State from end to end. John
w Yerkes. conceded the strongest Repub-
lican in Kentucky has done likewise, and
the leaders on both sides express the sin
cerest confidence of success on Tuesday.
The Republicans brought their campaign
to a close in Louisville last night. when
Mr.. Yerkes and other Republican leaders
spoke in various parts of the city; and to-
night the Democrats ended their campaign
here with Mr.. Beckham as the principal
speaker at four meetings throughout the
city.
Both campaigns We're closed amid the
greatest enthusiasm and with more wide
spread interest, Jerhaps. than ever attended
any other election in Kentucky.
On account of the Goebel assassination.
there have been so many breaks in the
ranks on both sides that little stress can

a landslide one way or the other would
not be surprising to many. While the
campaigns have been exciting. and at times
unusually bitter. there has been very little

True SituatiOn-interest
Becomes Intense.

The presidential campaign in the Cnited
States practically closed last night In
few States and a comparatively small num-
ber of cities and towns final rallies ana
speechmaking will take place tomorrow
the day before election. But. generally
speaking the fight is over and the leaders
of the two great political parties will rest
from their labors.
The close of the campaign finds both par
ties confident. In the numerous States
where it is conceded either ticket may be
elected the claims of the State leaders OF
the two parties differ only in the size of
the majorities they claim for their tickets.
Conservatives make many States doubtful
which have been confidently claimed b. Re
puhlicaus OH the strength of the vote OF
four years ago.
The campaign in Delaware. Kentucky ana
q few other States has been Affected by To-
cal issues and factional fights, but i'll the
great ma jorjty of States the fight has been
a claan-cut one on national issues alone
and State and congressional tickets Will
stand or fall with the national electors OF
the party.
The campaign just closed has been re-
dous exertions of the chief orators of the
two parties. In most States the final DEM
onstrations of the Democratic and Repup-
lican parties, held yesterday, were intensely
enthusiastic and proved that no matter
how apathetic was the opening OF the cam
raigD the wind-up was warm enough TO

OHiO.

Cincinnati U, Nov. :. = The campaign
closed to-day with daylight meetings ev-
erywhere. Senator Hanna was at the
opening at Youngstown. but later he de-
voted his attention to other States. while
Senator Foraker. Governor Nash Repub-
lcan congressional candidates and others
canvassed the counties.
The Democratic State Committee had
Bryan in Ohio twice. Hin once, Bourke
Cochran several times. and other prom
iIcnt speakers. John r. Mclean. proprie-
tor of the Cincinnati Enquirer and the
Democratic candidate for Governor last
year. spent the last week with the State
and local committees.
The campaign has been animated. but
free from disturbances and such personals
ties and bitterness characterized other
campaigns.
The Republicans nave been betting every
thing on carrying Ohio by a larger plur-
ality than four years ago, when Mckinley
had 5l.1o9 but to-day they were betting
on 10000. Odds as high as 10 to have been
given on Mckinley carrying Ohio.
Most of the canvassers anticipate Repub-
lican gains in rural districts. and Demo-
cratic gains in cities. and most of the spec
ulation is on the probability Of the change
in the cities exceeding those in the rural
districts or vice versa.
