CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The following
statement was given out at the head
quarters of the Republican national
committee:
There are few surface Indications at
this time dIssimilar to those Of four
years ago. when Mckinley swept tho
country by tho greatest majority prob

Gate. The work Of the Republicans
during the past four weeks has been
mnrvellously effective. It has been
marked everywhere by completeness In
detail OF machinery, harmonious action
and desired results. In the history Of
the party no better organization has
ever existed. Mckinley and Roosevelt
will carry every state which voted for
Mckinley and Hobart four years ago
and certainly seven or eight others that
voted for Bryan In 1886. The alleged
hopes Of Croker and Bryan as to carry

following out the programme of claim
ing everything in sight for the purpose
OF encouraging their followers In Gloss
states to mako the most desperate ef-
forts for success. The claims Of the
Republicans arc based upon the result
Of actual work reported by men in the
field. brought up through precinct.
ward, township, city, county and state
organizations and upon actual facts as
shown by the closest poll ever, made by

CANTON, o., Nov. 5.-The Mckinley
lawn. so famous In the campaign Of

innexible all through the campaign,
and he made q short address to his
neIghbors and fellow townsmen. free
from partisanshlp. but apropos Of the
election tomorrow. He also introduce
cd Judge Day for q short speech from
the famous front porch.
The occasion was an unndvertlsed
and unannounced serenade by the
Grand Army band. with several thou
sand people following the band with
loud cheers and hurrahs and a glare of
red fire that Illuminated the whole scsnc
roundabout the Mckinley horne. The
band appeared upon the streets come
time after dark and the report that the
President was to be serenadcd spread
like wild-hre. First score fell In be-

That the Democrats are Sure to Win.
Same Assertion Made Four Years

That the Democrats are Sure to Win.
Same Assertion Made Four Years
Ago.
CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-Chairman James
X. Jones, Of the Democratic national
committee, on the eve Of the election,
said: ,lesf @
II have no doubt that the resul. of
the ballot tomorrow will be the trium-
plant election of Bryan and Stevenson.
The Democrats party has appealed In
this campaign to the reason and con-
science OF the people, while the Repub-
licans have appealed to passion and
prejudice. In the great forum OF pub
lie opinion, l have no doubt the Demo-
cratic party has won In this, the great
est OF Its national political struggles.
-Four years ago the Democratic party
was deficient In organization, whereas
now 1t Is more perfectly organized and
more efficient than 1t has been in any
campaign. The national committee has
been In touch with every part OF the
country and familiar with all the de-
tails OF the work. While the cam
paisn fund has not been enriched by
the contributions OF great trusts. 1t has
received the patriotic mites Of the great
working classes In sufficient quantity to
aeifay The expenses Of the campaign
which was even more satisfactory than
II 1t had been otherwise.
The country is now aroused as It has
never been before since the great civil
war, and the result can be. nothing less
'han the triumphant election OF the
national Democratic ticket"
