be made fairly profitable. The farmer
thus situated should keep one or more

ELEcTroN PROBABILITIES.

Party leaders on the eve OF an election
always profess confidence OF victory and
they do this no matter what their act
ual belief may be. Amy other course
would be exceedingly poor generalship,
for it would dispirit the voters Of their
party and might be the cause Of turn
ing what would have been victory into
defeat. The claims OF the political gen.
eral the day before election are not there
fore worth much. They may represent
the actual opinions OF the men who make
them and they may not. Chairman
Hanna expresses confidence that McKin-
ley will be reelected by vote larger
than he received in 1895, and Chairman
Jones Processes to bs just as sure that
Bryan Is to sweep the country. The
best way to get correct idea OF the sit
uation Is to trent the predictions Of
both these gentlemen as nanifestoes
issued chiefly for inspiring the troops,
and turn to predictions of people who
are not managing either side Of the
campaign and who can have no motive
to prophecy what they do not believe ID
to some. The editors OF the Independent
newspapers belong to this class, and
without a single exception so far as we
have observed, they are either predicting
McKinley's election or not INDUCING in
proph soy at all Not one is predicting
the election OF Bryan. Even the Demo.
cratic newspapers betray lack of CON-
tidence by paving the way to explain de-
feat by shouting intimidation and fraud
In betting circles Mckinley is the favor
lite by long odds, and while betting is to
be condemned it Is more likely to cor
rectly indicate the result than anything
else, because men who bot usually very
carefully consider the situation and do
not take counsel of their feelings and
wishes, but of their Judgment. Every
sign that is worth anything indicates an
overwhelming success of the Republican
ticket. There is practically nothing that
points the other way except the claims
of the generals in command of the
Bryan campaign and few extreme
Democratic newspapers. 10 say that II
is absolutely sure that Mckinley will be
elected would be putting 1t too strong,
for there is remote possibility Of an I'M
derc1rrent setting in favor OF Bryan
which nobody has discovered but o say
that the probabilities are vastly on his
side is we'll within bounds.

WAR OF BALLOTS.
Marching Hosts in Gothsm Give Pvom-
Use of Victory.

New York, November S.-ThrouRh
streets made slippery by a cold drizzling
rain, the parade of the Business Men 8
Republican and Sound Money associ-
alton passed from Bowling Green to 10th
street today. The managers of the pa
rade express the livliest satisfaction that
the showing made was such a magnificent
one and their sentiments may best be
voiced by this telegram which Gov.
Roosevelt sent to President Mckinley af-
ter the last marcher had passed the Gov
ernor's reviewing stand:
'Nsw York, November 3, 1900.
president William Mckinley, Canton,
Ohio:
''In spite OF the unfavorable weather,
the sound money parade was an even
more magnificent demonstration than
four years ago. The aroused civic homes
ty and business intelligence of the ma
ton are behind you.
(Signed) Theodore Roosevelt. /"
Inc parade was noteworthy for the
despatch with which the different associ-
ations formed into and dropped out of
line. The cold rain driving directly
into the faces Of the marchers did not
seem to dampen the enthusiasm one
whit. The differenb organizations as
sembled at their respective rendezvous.
Flags flsw just as gaily and cheers were
as readily given as II the sun was shin
ing. The police were in perfect control
and at no time was there the slightest
re ri
The head of the parade reached the re-
viewing stand at 1885 O'Clock and the
last man passed there in review at 5.4s
O'Clock.
The parade was led by a squad OF
mounted police which reached the dis
banding point at Ills o'clock. Two
minutes later the first platoon or divis-
ion of the Dry Goods Republican club
reached 10th street. swung went into
that thoroughfare and disbanded at 18th
avenue. Nearly seven hours later the
last division OF the parade reached the
point of disbandment and at minutes
after six O'Clock the big demonstration
In the lower part OF the city began to
gather early and all along Broadway
thousands massed on the sidewalk and
waited for the formation to move up the
line of march.
Shortly aftsr 10 o'clock the head Of the
parade at which rode Gov. Roosevelt,
moved up the line OF march. When the
reviewing stand was reached az the Worth
monument. the Governors carriage was
halted and from the stand he reviewed
the ranks OF the marchers. For seven
hours Gov Roosevelt stood with head
uncovered and greeted the marchers as
they tiled past.
