until election. He Will compel all the
rub bosses to submit to him detailed re-
ports OF the exact situation in their re-s
epective districts, and will spur them on
to constantly increasing efforts.
All the Tammany district leaders
called on their chief and received in-9
structions for renewing the battle in a
final desperate effort to Offset the con-
stantly increasing republican gains One
of the plans is to abandon for the first
time In fifty years the Tammany mass
meeting In the last week OF the cans
Spaign and hold instead small rallies in
all the assembly districts on the night of
Nov. 3, that being the date Of the great
sound money parade and demonstration
for President Mckinley. In this way
Croker hopes to dim the glory OF what
|promiRes to be magnificent republican
day.
Mr.. Croker caused the following letter
to be sent to all his district leaders:
Pursuant to Instructions from Mr..
Croker the annual mass meeting at
Tammany hall, in the last week Of the
lcampaign, will not be held this year.
Instead, Saturday night, Nov. 3, will be
set apart In each district as Tammany
night and 1t is desired that you bring
about the combined efforts OF all demo-
cratic clubs and associations in your
ldistrict for final rally in your assem-
bly, district at the headquarters on that
night"

man Issues Address TO PopuIists.
Cincinnati, o., Oct 25.-Joe "A. Park
er, chairman of the national committee
of the middle readers has issued let
ter addressed to the true populists Of
the United States in which he says In
part:
Four years ago we were shamefully
betrayed by those whom we had en-
trusted with power, our organization
was given into the hands of our political
enemies and our sturdy voters We're de-
livered like sheep in the open market.
Today our organization Is once again in
the hands of the true populists who-will
never surrender 1t to either Of the old
parties. There are electoral tickets in
thirty states and opportunity is thus af-
forded all true populists of those states
to vote their conscientious sentiments.
the privilege Of which perf1dy and polit-
ical dishonesty denied them in 1896
The vote to be polled for this ticket
may not be as great as that OF 1896, but
| 1t will be large enough to demonstrate
beyond the shadow of doubt that our
party is not dead. This campaign has
accomplished this much, and more; the
election in November will put an end to
| the disastrous policy of fusion forever.
This alone is great victory for true
populism. With our party organization
once more in the hands OF our friends,
with fusion dead and damned forever,
we can go forward on the old lines to
Victory which awaits the true, the vigi-
liant and the brave. z

Hope Regarding state.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Democratic man
ayers have agreed upon a rush CAM
paign In Chicago from Nov. 1 until elec-
ton day. Bryan will reach Chicago the
first Of the month. AT national, state

agreed that he should spend three days
here. Will Bryan do it? Chairman.
Jones doesn't know, but he promised to-.
day to use every endeavor to bring it
about. The democrats have persuaded
themselves that there 10 chance for
Bryan to carry Illinois. Their polls of
the state show that Mckinley will not
receive to exceed $1,000 majority in the
state outside Cook county. They believe
that with rush campaign properly
managed q majority of $4,000 or more
can be piled up In Chicago for the demo-
cratic nominee for president and $4,000
or better for Alschulet The theory of
the national committee is that Bryan
