CLAIMS FOR Mr.. BRYAN
Chairman Johnson Confident the
NebraSkan VIII Win.
Declines to Change His Estimate of
Three Hundred Electoral Votes for
the Democratic Candidate--He De-
ciares That the Republicans
Are SIumberins Volcano.

CHICAGO. Oct go. G. Johnson, of
Kansas. Chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, said today:
I'VE expect Mr.. Bryan's speeches. to be
delivered here this week, to carry Chicago
and Illinois for the Democratic National
ticket. Mr.. Bryan's tongue has not lost
its cunning. Four years ago his speeches
n Chicago in the closing days of the cam
paign saved 0,00O votes for the ticket.
This year he can do better because condi-
tions have changed. Today our chances OF
carrying Illinois are as good as those Of
the Republicans. Mr.. Bryan's speeches
here will change the tide and l believe car
Ty the State.
Mr. Johnson was asked today if he was
going TO make a final estimate of the re-
suit of the election by States. He said
in reply:
"A short time ago I issued an estimate
claiming more than 900 electoral votes for
Mr. Bryan. l shall not change that table
unless it is to take few States out of the
doubtful column and add them to Mr., Bry
ans grand total. Why. the Republicans
are sIumbering on volcano, and they do
not know it. The eruption will take place
AC[Al L uCSusiS, dLI1 Inc pa ~ WA 10 AuSFN%
to escape determination"
These statements by Chairman Johnson
were made deliberately and seriously in
reply to a request for his final estimate
OF the situation. He insists with much
emphasis that the Democratic National
Committee mas made two polls Of Ohio
and Indiana, has received an elaborate
system of Independent reports from those
States, and that Bryan will carry both.
He says that he has personally investi-
gated the situation in Kansas and Ne
braska, and that Bryan will carry these
States by larger pluralities that he had
four years ago. Maryland, Delaware.
West Virginia, and Kentucky, Mr.. John
son asserts. have not been in doubt at
any stage of the campaign.
The claim of New York, he admits, is
based upon letters and reports received
from there since Bryan began his first
tour OF the State. He asserts in all Sc
robustness that these letters and reports
show that Bryan's speeches have won
thousands of Republican votes.
This statement by Mr.. Johnson he puts
forth as his final summing up CT the po-
Htical situation.

THINKS BRYAN WILL WIN.
Ex-President Cleveland Says Mckin-
ley VIII BE Defemted.

ley VIII Be Defeated
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S0.-A despatch
from Princeton, y. j., to the "Philadel-
phia Times from its special correspond
ent says:
''Ex-President Grover Cleveland. in an
interview which I had with him, predict
ed landslide to William Jennings Bryan,
the Democratic candidate for President.
He advanced several reasons for this
For an hour the great Democratic
statesman fought shy of any reference to
The political situation. He urged that he
no longer took any active interest in poll
tics and was content to look on Then
our conversation turned to the conditions
in the West. and after little remlnls-
cent talk Mr.. Cleveland said:
g You will see a landslide for Bryan
the morning after election. Of this I am
confident
Il replied that the indications, accord
ing to the Republican leaders. were favor
able to Mckinley, but he quickly retorted:
of course they are. That is policy.
What I tell you is my private opinion.
There was no doubt concerning the
ex-President's sincerity in his expressed
belief When I asked him what reasons
he had for so thinking he continued:
- You do not understand the conditions
There are elements all over the country
at work which it would be impossible to
draw into line for Mckinley. In the first
place, union labor is for Bryan. In re-
cent years this section Of labor has been
factor in politics and it certainly is not
favorable TO the interests Of capital.
q The travelling men are for Bryan
These men, who are a small army, are of
the opinion that the Republican party is
the protector of corporations, and by the
amalgamation of Industrial interests many
of them have been thrown out of employ
ment.
q In the Northwest, in Minnesota. in
Dakota and Iowa there are many Hollan-
der=. Sympathy for the Beers, who are
their own flesh and blood, will induce
them to support Bryan, See if I am not
correct.
81 I have no desire to be drawn into any
controversy over the results CT the cleo
ton, 5ut If the Republican managers hon
estiy think that President Mckinley will
be reelected, it is my opinion they
mistaken. They do not know the situa-
ton
Further than this Mr. Cleveland re-
fused TO discuss the campaign. He said
that Mr.. Bryan is a remarkable orator and
has a magnetic personality, which is re
sponsible for his tremendous popularity
I asked him what the effect of an ora
torical campaign IS. He said:
Well, for man who can talk like
Bryan it is successful method; for a
candidate who is not an orator it would
be dismal failure
Mr.. Cleveland concluded by saying that
he was out of active politics.

AN UNFULFILLED PROMISE.
a Campaign Trick of Republican
managers to Get Votes.

PARKERSBURG, ". Va, Oct. 30.-His-
tory is repeating itself, and the words of
President Cowen, of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, spoken at Balti-
more last Thursday night, have a ring
that is very much ike the utterances of
another railroad president Just four years
ago At that time persons who were al
legged to represent Eastern capitalists were
out here in West Virginia representing
that they were going TO bu Id a railroad
up the valley of tie Guyandotte River
from Huntington to Logan Courthouse.
At the same time they were working
against the election of William Jennings
Bryan. Just four years ago today General
Avery, who was the secretary CT the com
pany which proposed to build the road,
which was known as the Virginias Rail
road, received the following telegram from
General Dacey, the president of the COM
pany, who was in the East:
Il have thoroughly canyassed the finan-
cial situation and am firmly convinced that
the success of Bryan would most seriously
retard the construction of the Virginias
Railway and the development of coal mines
diOHS ilS line anu DILIS CiSdStSI u west
Virginia, l have taken special pains to
ascertain the feeling in financial circles in
this country and Europe and am satisfied
that no money can be had for new enter
prises until the gold standard is assured in
this country. While | am a Democrat of
the most pronounced type, ard hope to re-
main one l shall vote and work for Nc
Kinley. and if he is elected l will put at
least a thousand men on the Virginias
Railway within sixty days following his
election The opening of mines and the
development of timber land will speedily
follow. I am not politician or empIoye
OF the Republican National Committee, but
am deeply interested in West Virginia S
development
Mckinley was elected and within sixty
days the company was out Of existence,
and instead of a thousand men the COM
pany never had so much as one man at
work on the road at any time after the
election of Mckinley.
Those who remember the circumstances
of this railroad presidents utterances and
who see now that there was never the
slightest attempt to fulfill his promises
will not be misled by the promises of
President CoWen OF the same general char

The Georgetown University football

tomorrow afternoon at $50 o'clock. This
game marks the real opening of George

games will follow each week until the
close Of the football season. Since the
game with the Naval Cadets the George

account Of the cancellation OF games by

journeyed up to the Pennsylvania Chicago
game at Philadelphia on Saturday last
That Devlin picked up a point or two was
evidenced, it is said, by the manner in
which he worked his men yesterday after
noon against what was probably the
strongest scrub team yet lined up against
the Varsity eleven. The enthusiasm Of
the students is gradually being aroused
and the work of the men is being watched
with increasing interest from day to day.
The Richmond College eleven, who are
to be Georgetcwns opponents tomorrow,
have played several hard games this year
and proved themselves strong team.
They are being coached by Ed Kenna,
Georgetown fu1lback CT two years ago.
He has his men playing a fast game and
promises to give his old alma mater a hard
fight.

CALLS 1T GIGANTIC FRAUD
JUSTICE MATTICE SPEAKS IN SEVERE
TERMS OF a TRANSACTION BY
FRANK A. BARNABY.
We fiji orders
by mail.

Justice Mattice handed down decision in Brook
lyn yesterday whereby he declares that Frank A.
Barnaby, well known real estate broker in Mon
tague-st has committed fraud. The case was that
of James B. Healy. formerly a tailor In Montague
ST.. against Frank A. Barnaby, W. Clarence Martin.
c. Grayson Martin and James w. Golden to be
relieved of real estate contract in which Healy
declared fraud had been committed.
Early in 1899 Mr.. Heay wished to buy some prop
erty in Manhattan. Barnaby told him that Will
lam Reed would sell some property at Fffth-ave.
and Nneteenth-st.. Manhattan, for s35OOOO The
transaction was completed. and afterward Mr..
Healy discovered it is alleged that Reed had asked
and had received only $25OOO0 for the property.
Healy had paid Barnaby some cash. had trans
ferred seven parcels of property at Atlantic-ave.
and Court-st.. Brooklyn. and had given to Mrs
Barnaby mortgage on other property for $4,000.
Justice Mattce decided that Barnaby must trans
fer the Atlantic-ave property back to Healy and
release the mortgage. The latter may keep the
Fifth-ave. property at proper price IL he desires.
Justice Mattice's decision follows
As matter Of fact Barnaby had not personally
he had represented to the paintir Plantif % ex &s
amined the property and instructed Barnaby to
purchased the Fifth-ave. property from Mr. Reed
i6e t6e $zSGUo The CONTRACT and sale were made in
Martins Martins He paid Sl0C9G, and agreed to pay the
the deeds of his parcels to James W. Golden. who
was said TO be the private secretary of Mr.. Reed
erty and executed two mortgages. one for $25O.o6O
to the Lawyers Mortgage Insurance Company and
one for $4,000 to the wife of Barnaby Golden
was not the private secretary Of Mr.. Reed but
vas a representative or dummy of the Martins
Reed did not know anything about this transaction
except that he received $2500OO for his property
from the Martins. Barnaby collected rent from
the Brooklyn parcels until August. when HeaIy
found out that Mr.. Reed did not sell him his prop
erty for S35OOOO
Nj MIR Reed had & offered red his 7 property for $500 GO
which he accepted. 1t may never appear Just how
much the Martins knew of or participated in
Barnabys fraud. and it IS not necessary to inquire
The very fact of this division whereby Barnaby
gets property amounting to over $4,000 convinces
that the Martins knew that the agents were
practising a gigantic fraud the principals.
| convinced that the final division Of what
may be properly termed the "spOils'' was the
ward the Martins received for active participation
in Barnaby's fraud Judgment for the plaintiff
and $l0O extra costs.
