IDAHO ALSO FOR SILVER
WHITE METAL ATTACKED BY
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

New York. Nov. 4.-The Republican
committee gave out today the following
official statement:
ION the eve of the election, the Re
publican national committees forecast
of the result, based on absolutely au-
thentic and unimpeachable figures and
facts, differs from its previous fore
casts only in increasing the magnitude
of the triumph which Tuesday will
bring to the cause of national honor
and prosperity. All the sources of the
committees Information, including
many who are unwilling witnesses, con-
cur in the conclusions that Tuesdays
election Will prove a landslide for Nc
Kinley and seal the doom of Bryan and
Organism forever.
1.-THE prime cause of this irresistible
and overwhelming popular vote against
the Bryan PoDuust ticket is perfectly
obvious. It consists in the desire of the
people to maintain the prosperity which
they have enjoyed and now enjoy un-
der the policies of McKiHley's admins
tration, and it is their well-grOunded
fear of public calamity in case Bryan
were to be elected.
THE 1aborinS man, his wife and
children remember the poverty. misery
and despair which surrounded their
lives in the black years previous to Nc
KinIey's Inauguration, and they 80
member with gratitude the relief which
has come to them since. with abundant
employment and increased wages.
They listen now TO BTvan's invita-
tons to throw away their advantage,
but they respectfully decline them.
Sheer at Free Silver.
THE business men of the United
States remember what happened to
them in those same dark days, and
they know what the practical result of
the election Of 1886 has been, in refer
ence TO the rehabilitation and prosper
ity Of all lines of commercial enter
prises during the past four years. They
correctly regard the proposition 20 en-
dOTEe Bryan and his free silver and
free trade theories as nothing short of
insanity.
''Che farmers are not likely to forget
the evil days when they were reduced
TO bankruptcy and almost to beggars,
and with their mortgages lifted, their
farm products bringing greatly in
creased prices. and their homes filled
with comfort and joy. they do not pro-
pose to change their conditiOnSsat the

The people know that the country
has proSpered under Mckinley: that
wages have risen to higher rate; that
employment is abundant for all; that
the savings of labor have increased
half a million dollars; that commercial
prosperity has been universal, and
commercial honor safeguarded against
the advocates of reputation, and so
they naturally have decided to re-eleCt
