KANSAS SAFE FOR M'KINLEY.
Republican Chairman Says the PIu-
rality Will BE $4,000.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 3.-The campaign
which practically ended tonight in every
county in the State has been one of the
least exciting ever known. There is, how
ever. lack of interest, for the regis
tration in all the cities and towns is larg-
er than in 1896. The campaign has been
fought almost entirely national issues
and IL Is conceded that the Republicans
have won over many former members of
the party who had been affiliated with
the Populists and Silver Republicans. II
remains to be seen whether their gains
are large enough to overcome the plural
ity of 1900 given Bryan in 1896.
Chairman Albaugh, of the Republican
State committee, said tonight: "Mckin-
ley will carry Kansas next Tuesday by 25,-
900 plurality. The Republican state ticket
will be elected by almost as much The
Republicans will elect the congressman
at large, and in six of the seven districts.

Conservative Men Say Plurality
Either Way VIII Not Exceed 5000.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-The cam
paign in California closed tonight. Both
the Democrats and Republicans seem con-
fident of victory. Colonel Stone, chairman
of the Republican State central commit
tee made the following statement TO an
Associated Press representative to-day:
I'VE have had canvassers throughout the
State and their reports during the last
few days lead me 10 believe that Nc
kinley will carry the State of California by
at least 1900, and that the Republicans
will elect all seven of their congressional
rominees. For time 1 thought that 1900
would be the limit of Republican plurality,
but 1 now think that 1900 is a conserva-
tive estimate"
State Senator Symms, chairman of the
From reports | have received from all
sections of California, / am of the opinion
that the State is safe for Bryan by 1900
The Democrats will positively elect four
congressman. You can quote me as esti-
mating the Democratic plurality IN this
State from 1900 to $1,000"
Both these estimates are probably exag-
gerated. Conservative estimates say the
State will not go to exceed 5000 for either
party. As regards &C congressman, the indica-
tons are that the Republicans will elect
at least five Nonpartisan observers think
the issue doubtful in the Second and
Fourth districts.

Republicans Claim Everything and
Democrats Say Maybury VIII Win.

DETROIT. Nov. 3.-Excepting a few po-
litical meetings Monday night. the cam
paign in Michigan closed tonight. The
state committees of both parties profess to
be confident of success. Both Colonel Aaron
T. Bliss. of Saginaw the Republican can
didate for Governor, and Mayor William
G. Maybury, of Detroit, the Democratic
candidate have made a thorough canvass
of the State, perhaps the most thorough
that has ever been made. The Republicans
claim not only all the electoral votes, but
the entire Republican state ticket, all the
Republican congressman and Republican
majority of the State Legislature.
Chairman Campau, of the Democratic
committee, issued statement tonight in
which he says that Mayer Maybury will
run far ahead of his ticket and will be
elected, and hopes that the rest of the state
ticket will be elected by a close vote. Mr..
Campau asserts that the Democrats will
elect several Democratic congressman His
statement concludes as follows: From all
points of view the situation in the Nation
and State presents a prospectively encour-
aging and inspiring outlook for the De-
mocracy."
The Legislature which will be elected on
Tuesday will elect a successor to Senator
Mcmillan.

LITTLE ENTHUSIASM.


PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. S.-The campaign
in Oregon, which closed tonight. has prob
ably been attended by less enthusiasm than
any national political contest in the his
tory of the State. The political managers
OF both Democratic and Republican parties
account for this apathy from the fact that
there is no State ticket to be elected, and
the general opinion that the State will give
q plurality for the Republican national
ticket In all the estimates made by both
Republican and Democratic committees,
Oregon is placed in the Republican column.
These estimates seem to be well founded
the vote in June last showd a plurality
CT 1900 for the Republican ticket, and the
issues in the campaign then were prac-
ucally the same as the present contest The
Republicans claim that the State will give
Mckinley a plurality of more than 10000,
While the chairman of the Democratic State
committee is of opinion that the Repub-
lican plurality of last June will be reduced
materially.

Nebraska Republicans Think They
Will Sweep the State Clean.

Will Sweep the State Clean.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 3.-One of the most
Systematically fought campaigns in the his
tory of Nebraska practically closed with
tonight. The final meetings of Importance
will be on Monday, when William j. Bryan
will make a number of speeches through
the State and address several audiences
in Omaha in the evening, and the Repub-
licans are planning monster parade and
demonstration. The Democrats are decided
ly confident of the result, but the Repub-
licans are making large claims which
they allege will be borne out when the
returns are counted. Chairman Lindsay,
of the Republican committee, says Mckin-
ley will get 5000 to 1000 plurality and the
whole State ticket with four congressman
will be elected.
Chairman Hall says his most conservative
estimate is that Bryan will carry Nebras ska
by 5000 plurality and that four congress
sional districts are sure, with the others,
the First and Second, very likely to return a
Republican and Democratic member re-
spectively. The Legislature is claimed by
both committees with a majority of ten
to twenty on joint ballot. Two United
State senators are to be elected, to
fill the vacancy made by the death of
Senator Hayward before taking his seat,
and the other TO succeed Senator Thurston,
whose term expires March 4. The real
fight has been on the Legislature, with both
sides claiming a victory.

MONTANA FOR BRIAN.
His Electors May Win by Ten Thou
sand-LegisIutureU Uncertain.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. S.-There is no
reason 10 doubt that Montana will give her
electoral vote TO Bryan by majority
ranging from 10000 10 $1,000. 1t may be
higher. The State and legislative situation
is more mixed, but conservative observers
concede the election of Joseph NJ. Toole as
Governor. with the chances decidedly in
favor of the entire Democratic ticket. The
legislative situation is more uncertain than
any other part of the ticket. The Repub-
lican membership In the Legislature was
less than one-hfth Of the entire member
ship. This year there will be some Repub-
lican gains in all probability, and the In
dependent Democratic ticket will DE sue
cessful in one or two large counties, per-
haps, giving the Independents the balance
of power in the Legislature. The friends
OF Senator Clark, however. stoutly claim
that the straight Democrats will have a
clear majority in the Legislature. There is
but one thing that seems absolutely certain
about the Legislature, and that is that the
Republicans will net control 1t on joint
ballot.

Both Parties Claiming Utah.

SALT LANE, Utah, Nov. 3.-The cam
paign in Utah will not close until Monday
night when n joint debate will take place
in this city between Sutherland and Kind,
the two candidates for Congress. The
registration has been large, and indications
point TO a large vote. The most vigorous
canvass in the history of the State
has been carried on during the past thirty
days Party feeling is worked up TO the
highest pitch, and both parties appear con-
fdent of the result. The Republicans
claim the State and national ticket by a
good margin, while the Democrats claim to
have safe poll of the State. Repub-
lican State Chairman McAllister says that
the Republican majority will not be less
than 1900. State Chairman Burton says
the Democratic majority will not b. less
than 1900 TO 5000

BANNER REPUBLICAN STATE.
Pennsylvania May Give Republican
Electors over 100000 Plurality.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 3.-The presiden-
tiaI campaign in Pennsylvania closed to-
night with the result in no doubt as 10
the success of the Republican electors. al
though the Democrats confidently cle.m
that they will considerably reduce the
Mckinley plurality four years ago OF near
~ 100000. but the Republican leaders assert
that il will DE as much If not more. With
respect to the national ticket the cam
paign in this State may be said to have
been almost featureless.
The fight of four years ago in the Re
publican ranks over the control Of the
Legislature when United States Senator
PenrOse. then a State senator, and ex-
Postmaster General John Wanamaker were
the opposing candidates for United States
senator, and which was followed two years
later by the more bitter opposition TO the
reelection of Senator Quay. Is again the
feature of the campaign. In all parts or
the State candidates representing both fac
tons OF the party are opposed TO each
other for the State Senate and the State
House of Representatives. and in many
districts the Anti-Quay Republicans and
Democrats have fused, the former with the
Democrats, or vice versa. As to what the
result will be only the count of the ballots
can tell. Ex-senator Quay, Senator Pen
rose. Governor Stone and number of
others have stumped the State for over a
month past, and ex-Postmaster General
Wanamaker and other speakers have with
in the past few weeks done likewise for
their respective sides.
In some parts OF the State the congress
sional districts show warm contests. and
the Democrats claim that the present Re-
publican representation will be reduced.
The Republicans. on the other hand, say it
will not. A notable fight is in this city in
the district formerly represented for many
years by the late Hon. Samuel j. Randall.
Congressman McAleer, Democrat, and pres
ent incumbent, is being bitterly opposed by
the Republican city administration In the
person of Henry Burk The Republican
county ticket in Philadelphia is also meet
ing with opposition by the fusion of the
Democrats and anti-Quay Republicans.

Republicans, However, Say Their PIu-
rality VIII BE About 10000.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 3.-The campaign
in Minnesota has been closely contested
by both Republican and Fusion committees
and both sides claim a share in Tues
days victory. On the national ticket the
Democrats only claim that the result will
be close. asserting. however, belief in
the possibility that Bryan may carry the
State by a small figure. On the other hand
the Republicans aver that Mckinley will
have anywhere from $1,000 20 $1,000 plurality
in the State. On the State ticket Chair
man Rosing. OF the Democratic committee,
stands to his earlier prediction, based on
a poll of the State, that Governor Lind
will be reelected by at least 2. 600 plurality,
and that the figure may go higher. Chair
man Bixby. of the Republican committee,
placed the plurality for Van SAINT. Repub-
Ecan candidate for Governor, at 1900 in a
statement issued a few days ago, and to-
day said the only change ne would make
in that was TO increase the figures. The
rest OF the State ticket has received less
attention. and il is admitted that the Re-
publicans will win most OF the positions.

Democratic Chairman Says Republic

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-William B. Gour-

ooratic state committee, to-day made
the following prediction concerning
the election in his State: 1.-THE State is in a
splendid condition. If general should tell
how many men he had in his army he
might be considered an incapable COM
mander. 1 do not care TO say by what ma
jority we shall carry the State. If the Re-
publicans elect two senators that will be
their share. We shall elect four and per-
haps five congressman. 1t is a common
opinion among alert politicians whom L
have seen that the people are seldom so
stirred up as they have been by this can
vass. There is every indication for which
political manager would look who hoped for
the success of his party, and they point to
Democratic success We hear from all
sides of the large corruption fund which
the Republicans have in this State, but they
cannot debauch 1T. At this hour the State is
for Bryan, and propose to see him
through on election day."

Democratic vote this year, which departed
from us in 1896, will come back to the party.
We estimate that our gains from various
sources the Democratic vote this year in
Massachusetts will rise to the figures of

Republican majority will not be greater
