day az Republican National headquarters Com
ruuuicatious from trustworthy sources that have
been received lately have been in the nature Of
gratifying surprise. Hitherto the Republican
ayers had been conceding Missouri TO Bryan and not
regarding IL even as doubtful State. But since the
reception OF these communications they have come
70 the conclusion that there is very good chance
Of carving Missouri for Mckinley. and that they
are justified in making special efforts toward that
end. They are also advised that there is good
ground for hoping that the Republicans may gain
three Congressman IN the State, which would make
six Republican Congressman in all from Missouri
Owing this important change in the aspect OF
affairs Governor Roosevelt's itinerary has been
changed so as TO enable him 10 make some speeches
in Missouri and several other speakers will be
sent there by the National Committee, which has
determined 20 make a big fight for the State and
TO go to work with the utmost energy 10 win ii for

The communications from Missouri, 1t said
ar the headquarters declared that many business
men Of St Louis and other cities in the State have
the same feeling as the desrabeness OF con-
tinuing the present Administration that business
men elsewhere have. Furthermore, the voters in
