w. BreidenthaI Gives His
Ideas of Campaign.
Says Many Bankers Who OPP
posed Party Before
NOW IN LINE FOR HIM.
Sees More Gains Than Losses For
Eusfonists.
But Full Vote Must Be Out in
Order to Win.

Wichita. Oct. 25.-J. W. Breidenthal
passed through wichita wednesday on
his way to Topeka. In speaking of the
prospects of the fusion party he said:
1.-THE indications point to a complete
victory for the fusion forces in Kansas,
provided full vote is polled. While it
is true that a few former Populists and
Democrats as well as a small percent
age of Silver Republicans will vote for
Mckinley all these claims of large gains
that are being made by Republicans
are absolutely without foundation in
fact except in counties where there has
been a large increase in the vote as in
Cowley county, where the increase in
the vote in Winfield has been largely
Republican and IN Crawford county
where the Republicans will receive the
benefit of about 500 Alabama negro
voters that have come into the county
since 1896.
I'm Usage county several hundred fu-
sion voters from among the coal miners
have removed to Illinois thus reducing
the fusion majority. Republicans are
reporting great gains in these counties
and pretend that the gains are the re-
suit of hopS4 Wherever 1 go / have
made special inquiry and I am confident
that we have more gains than losses.
The gains from Gold Democrats who
voted for Mckinley in 1896 will alone
more than overcome the desertions. The
Socialist vote will come largely from
former PopuliSts, but it must not be
forgotten that the 1850 middle of the
road Populists are largely supporting
the fusion ticket Those who do not
will vote the Socialist ticket In 1896
many German fusionists voted for Nc
Kinley on the money issue. Today prac-
tically all such are supporting Mr.. Bryan
and many who never voted our ticket
are now with u.s.
Another element of strength is the
fact that the bankers of our state are
not now alarmed with reference to the
result Of the campaign. In 1886 but few
men whose notes matured in October
could secure an extension. They were
told to wait until after election, that il
Mr.. Bryan was elected they would not
care to renew the loan. This materially
alarmed many men and caused them
to exert themselves in behalf of Mr..
Mckinley. Today this is all changed.
Kansas bankers have an abundance of
money to loan and are ready and
anxious to make any good loan that is
offered. They will not take the risk of
losing a good loan by refusing to grant
an extension Our deposits as q result
Of our great crops have doubled since
1895 and our banks now hold $17 000 600
available for loans and no banker will
undertake to say that the election of
either Mckinley or Bryan will affeet
our bank deposits. If a full vote is
polled Mr.. Bryan viii carry the state
by an increased plurality over 1885,"

New York. Oct. 25.-Tom Sharkey feels
a bit sore over the ignoring of his def

ager. BILLY Madden.
My 81, $780," says Sharkey, sis up and
it is not stage money, as Madden would
like to make the sporting public believe.
I mean business and am not four flush

Now, to make my proposition clearer
and to force Madden and Rubin to show
their hand and get down to business or
quit altogether. 1 will make them this
offer:
81 will bet the 81, 500 I have now up
in this city that I can defeat Rubin in
six rounds either in Philadelphia or Chi
cago. or I will wager $1,000 that I can
beat him in 20 rounds before any respon-
sible athletic club in the country.
I think this statement makes it plain
just where I stand and puts the game
up to Madden and Rubin. My money is
posted and talks better than all the
wind bluffs of Madden not backed up by
the dough"

CUBBISON SPOKE.
Delivered an Address at Marquette
Club Prosperity Banquet.

Chicago, Oct 25.-The Marquette club
held prosperity harvest home festival
at the Coliseum last night. Twenty five
hundred people sat at banquet tables on
the main floor, beside number OF spec
tators in the galleries. The immense hall
was decorated with grain, fruits, pump
kins and other products of the farm,
giving the appearance OF the floral
building of an old-fashioned county
fair Four columns u feet high stool
behind the speakers platform, wreathed
with corn and oats. The supper consist
ed of turkey, pork and beans, doughnuts,
cider and other rural viands.
Speeches were delivered by Senator
Hanna, J. K. Cubbison of Kansas and
Henry D. Estabrook of Chicago.
Senator Hanna was very late in reach
ing the Coliseum, having addressed
meeting at Aurora earlier in the even
When Senator Hanna made his APP
pearance he was given a tremendous
ovation, the entire assemblage rising
and cheering him for several moments
He said, in part:
prosperity in this country is a nor
NAL condition and it is only interfered
with when clouds arise in the horizon
which brighten capital and drive 1t from
the channels of trade into hiding places
and capital Withdrawn from its useful
ness brings idleness and poverty with It
No business man will risk his capital IN
any venture if those clouds arise, ana
that will be the condition just as soon
as there is any change in the present
administration. Mr.. Bryan has descend
ed to the lowest plane of demagoguery
when he attempts to array employer
against employee, labor against capital
It is a significant fact to me; it means
sure defeat, because nothing but des-
peratfon or demogoguery would drive a
man who aspires to the highest office in
this country to such arguments He is
sowing the seed of anarchism and so
cialism. He is driving apart these great
forces Of capital and labor which united

ties and two heavily backed second

card was one of the very best offered by

thinks Pennsylvania is strong this fall.
and says Hare is the greatest football
player who ever lived Although he saw
Penn beat Brown by only a small score
he does not regard the Brown team as
at all strong, and was surprised at its
defeat Of Chicago. Referring to Lafay-
cites good game against Princeton, he
expressed the opinion that the Lafayette
team, which he has also seen, was vast
ly better than Browns.
Irwin says the promoters of the new

are doing a lot of talking throughout
the east, and making a good many peo-

good organization. Ball players, how
