The Chicago American says the Demo-
cratic pool in Illinois shows Democratic
gains in every one OF the 101 counties
outside of Cook county except one. The
country districts are expected to give
Bryan a majority OF from 25 900 to 30. 600.
and Chicago is expected to give him n
big majority. The Republicans claim
that Mckinley will come to Cook county
With Is. 1000 majority. and that they Will

A staff CORRESPONDENT OF the Washing

in Ohio is remarkable. Democrats claim
that this means a Democratic victory.

1896, but that won't pull him through.
Columbus and Toledo are the strong

One hears a great deal Of talk out here
about the silent vote The politicians
are somewhat nonplusse1 in their polls
because Of the closc-mouthed attitude of
a large proportion OF voters whom they
cannot locate in the proper column this
year. There will undoubtedly be some
surprises on this score. It is believed.
however. that there is some connection
between the silent vote and the notable
falling off in registration for the first
two days OF registration. That is 20 say.
that some OF the silent vote will be ST.
lent, indeed. on election day. and will
stay al home. In Cincinnati the falling
off in registration occurred in both Dem
