A LANDSLIDE IN WASHINGTON.

Seattle. November s.
MCKINLEY and Roosevelt will carry the State OF
Washington by more than 5000 majority. 1t may
easily double that Bryan carried this State in 1885
by 1900 majority. The principal causes of the
change IN PUBLIC sentiment here first. the great
prosperity OF This State and the Nation under the
Republican Administration; second. the pronounced
sentiment the Pacific Coast in favor OF the ex
pansion policy of the Mckinley Administration.
The total vote of the State will probably exceed
1O0o 600. The Legislature will be Republican In both
branches. and the entire Republican State ticket
will be elected. Both Republican candidates for
Congress will be elected by 5000 majority.
