BOTH CLAIM NDIANA.
J. W. Kern Says Bryan VIII Get
10000 to 10000 Majority.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-The Dem
ocrats express themselves as confident
at state headquarters, and John w.
Kern, candidate for governor, who has
been in every COUNT in the state, says
Indiana is safely Democratic by from
10000 to 10000, with the national ticket
running about the same It is con-
coded by both sides that the national
and state tickets will run close to-
gether.
A poll by q Republican paper. made
public this afternoon, gives Mckinley
a plurality Of 1900 in the state. An
other afternoon papers postal card
poll gives Mckinley a little more than
one-third of this figure Indiana went
for Mckinley four years ago by 1881,
and Marion county gave him 6,f00 plu-
raIity. Democrats are claiming the
election of their county ticket in Ma
rion county, while the Republicans
claim a plurality for Mckinley in the
county of 5000.
The betting is Still two to one that
Mckinley viii carry the state While
the Democratic leaders express conf
de zee in the result, the Republican
managers are enthusiastic in their
claims of an overwhelming victory.
Conservative Republicans, however, do
not claim the state by more than 1000.
Senator BeveTidge says Indiana is
Republican by 10000. Senator Fair
banks is confident, he says, but gives
no figures.

paign has been fought almost entirely
on national issues. and i1 is conceded
that the Republicans have won over
many forEuer members Of the party
VINO have lately been af1liating with
the Popuiists and silver Republicans.
1t remains to be seen whether their
gains are large enough to overcome the
plurality OF 12,0o0 given Bryan in 1895
or 10 onset gains made by the fusionists
from other elements.
Secretary Curran. in charge of the
Populist headquarters. said:
Every indication at this hour au-
gurs fusion victory IN Kansas. The
immense labor vote Of the state. aug
mented by immigration from Demo-
cratic strOnghOlds from Missouri and
elsewhere, viii go almost unanimously
for Bryan this year. The majority for
Bryan and the state ticket viii run
considerably ahead Of that of 1896 We
VIII elect seven fusion congressman out
Of the eight and have q margin Of p
on joint ballot in the legislature.
The governor and the whole state
ticket viii be elected by a good ma

this statement on the very latest re-
ports and making allowances for zeal
and hopefulness on the part of leaders
of the various counties. We will elect
Within one or two Of our present con-
gressional representation. The entire
Democratic state ticket viii be elected
and we VIII make large gains in the
assembly. l have had reports daily
since the last two weeks from nearly
every part of the state, and every re-
port shows immense gains for the
party up the state.
I am confident Bryan viii carry the
state, and if he carries the state he is
elected beyond a doubt
Frank Campbell, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, said:
Not in years, in my opinion, has
such an aggressive fight been made by
the Democrats in this state as has been
made this year. A thorough canvass
has been made of the state and the
total Democratic vote has been regis
tered Our reports show that in the
upstate counties thousands OF Repub-
hcans have expressed their intention
to vote the Democratic ticket. 1 do
nOf care TO give any figures. but 1 am
very hopeful almost to the extent of
confidence that Bryan Will carry the
state.
Il want also to say that I firmly be-
lieve that John H. Stanchfield will be
elected governor of New York
Benjamin B. Odell chairman of the
Republican state committee and Re
publican candidate for governor, in
speaking Of the situation in the state
at the Republican state headquarters
today, said;
The reports / have had up to today
indicate a very much larger plurality
than my former estimate of 100. 900.
Take, for example, Erie county. The
viii get 10, 600 plurality there. Now. 1
do not claim anything approaching
that, as I make allowance for enthu-
siasm. After considering all the re-
ports and taking a conservative estf-
mate of them 1 feel confident in as
sorting that my claim of 100000 plural
ity for the ticket still holds good.
Chairman Mcclure Of the Democrat
ic state committee has stated that Nc
Kinley will not come to the Bronx with
so 600 plurality. This statement is ri
diculOus. 1 state now that every cOun-
" up the state, with the exception of
SchoOharie, will be Republican. In
making this statement / feel confident
that I have underestimate rather than
overestimated the strength of the Re
publican vote in New York state"

Louisville, KY, Nov. 3.-In Kentucky
the lines cannot be said TO be drawn
between Democrats and Republicans
for the Goebel assassination and the
last gubernatoriaI election are issues
which overshadOw the present gUber-
material race and the presidential con-
test as well.
Beckham. the Democratic governor

and has stumped the state from end to

the strongest Republican in Kentucky.
has done likewise and the leaders of
both sides express the sinCerest conf
dence of success on Tuesday
On account Of the GOebel ASA ssina-
ton there have been 50 many breaks
in the ranks on both sides that little
stress can be placed on the claims of
either, and a landslide one way or the
other would not be surprising. While
the campaign has been exciting and at
times unusually bitter. there has been
very little trouble and no more than
the ordinary election day disorder is
anticipated Tuesday.

Kinley would get at least 10000 ma

Tuesday. -Four years ago Mckinley

parties claim victories for their respective
sides. The Republican factions. known
as me Adoicks and Dupont wings of the
party. which. at the last presidential
election were united in their support of
the national ticket. are again a unit in
their support of the Republican electors
and in addition have on their tickets the

also for the regular term They are also
united on the same state candidates, but
in two of the three counties of the state.
Kent and SUSSEX, they are opposed to

opinion, gives the general result most
doubtful aspect, with the odds. II any,

IN favor OF the Democrats for control Of
