Fusion Presidential Candidate, in
an Interview at Chicago, Con-
fidentIy Predicts His
Own Election.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Hon. w. ]. Bryan,
Democratic presidential candidate, to-
night gave out the following statement
in the form of an interview:
THE Republican campaign has been a
failure. The full diuner pail argument
has been repudiatcd by the worEingmen,
confess That large proportion III the Ia
Dor vote will be cast for the Democratic
ticket Besides believing with the Dem
ocrats in the general doctrine Of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none, the Iaboring men are against the
trusts, the large army and the colonial
policy. The laboring men are also drawn
to the Democratic party by the fact that
our party is opposed to government by
injunction, to the blacklist and to Chinese
immigration, and in favor of arbitrat ion
and OF a cabinet officer selected to repre-
sent the Wage. earners.
The Republicans are now hoping to
hold their strength among the farmers
but they have no policy which will benefit
living on the farm is the victim of all
the vicious legislation for which the Re-
publican party is responsible and re-
ceiVes none of the benefits conferred by
special legislation upon corporations and
syndicat ties. The farmer pays more than
his share of the taxes and receives less
than his share of the consideration of
Iessened the value of farm lands, in
creased the proportion of tenants ard
have driven the farmers sons away from
the farm thus intensifying the struggle
for existence in the cities.
OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
THE farmers are almost unanimously
opposed to the trusts, and they can have
no sympathy with the imperidlistic pol
icy of the Republican party with its at
tendant increase in the military estab-
Hshment.
II believe that the election will show
that we have gained among farmers as
well as in the cities.
The small business men and the pro-
fess1onal men are also feeling the effect
of the industrial despotism which las
grown up with this administration.
The poor are coming to the Democratic
the race for life, and many of the we'll
TODD are coming because they realize that
the Democratic party affords better pro-
lection to honest wealth than the Re
publican party, -
The Republican party is under the
control OF those who seek advantage
through governmental favOTitism and
grow rich by the exploitation OF citizens
at home and subjects abroad 1t is a
fight between Democracy on the one side
and pIutocracy on the other, and Demcc-
racy appeals to the judgment and to the
conscience of those who are willing TO let
live as Well as to live
MADE TWELVE SPEECHES.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2,-WIIiam Jennings
Bryan,,s programme in Chicago today
comprised twelve speeches. The
crowds that greeted him were greater
than those. at the meetings of yesterday
and last night. The candidate began his
itinerary at. Handel hail. in the down
town business district, going from there
to the public library, where he spoke to
an outdoor gathering of workingmen.
After luncheon he made two addresses in
Old Vienna pavilion, at Sixtieth street
and Cottage. Grove avenue, one to the
crowd in the building and the other to
the thIong that was unable to gain adj
mittance: Here was the only sembIance
OF disturbance manifested during the day.
Two OF the men in the audience followed.
almost simultaneously. How about
North Carolina?" and Mr.. Bryan was re-
plying when one. of the questioners in
sisted on, asking a question concerning
trusts, Whereupon the crowd demanded
that he be thrown out and threatened to
lynch him. Mr.. Bryan insisted upon an
sWering, however, but could not do so for
some time, owing to the uproar made by
the crowd by expressing its resentment
towards the 1nquisitor, The latter was
saved from violence only by police inter
fering.
