NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Republic
ran national committee gave out to-
DAY the following final statement:
"On the eve OF election. the Rcpubli-
can national committees forecast based
on absolutely authentic and unimpeach-
able figures and facts. differs from It's
previous forecasts only in increasing
the magnitude of the triumph which
Tuesday will bring to the cause OF ma
/ lGonal honor and prosperity. All the
sources OF the committees information.
Including many that are very unwill-
ing witnesses concur in indicating the
conclusion that Tuesdays election will
prove o veritable landslide for McKIn-
ley and seal the doom Of Bryan and
Bryansm forever.
"The prime cause Of this irresistible
and overwhelming popular revolt
against the Bryan Populist ticket is
perfectly obvious. 1t consists In the de-
clre OF the people to maintain the pros
perity which they have enjoyed and
now enjoy under the policies Of the
Mckinley administration and In their
well grounded fear OF calamity in case
Bryan were to be elected.
Remember the Dark Days.
1.-THE laboring man. his wife and chill
tren remember the poverty. misery and
despair which shrouded their lives ir
the black years previous to McKinley's
Inauguration, and they remember with
gratitude the relief which has come to
them since then, with abundant en-
plOyment and largely Increased wages.
They listen now to Bryan's invita-
tons to throw away their advantage.
but they respectfully decline them.
THE business men OF the United
States remember what happened to
them in those same dark years and they
know what the practical result of the
election of 1896 has been, in reference
to the rehabilitation and prosperity OF
oil lines OF commercial enterprise, DUR
iaS the past four years. They correct
y regard the proposition TO endorse
Bryan and his free silver and free
trade theories as nothing short of In
eaHlty.
Farmers VIII Not Forget.
THE farmers are not likely to forget
the evil days when they were reduced
to bankruptcy and almost to beggnry
and now, with mortgages lifted. their
farm products bringing greatly increas-
cd prices and their homes filled with
comfort and Joy, they 90 not propose to
change their conditions at the behes. OF
the false prophet OF 1896 and the an
arcaial agitation of 1900. All who have
Sremunerat!vc work to do; all who have
tWaSes paid them and who have bust
ness to protect and develop. all who
nave money deposited In savings banks
sor invested In homes OF their own. have
sSpeen confronted with 4 threat TO reduce
me value OF their prosperity by ore
h"lt and have been asked TO ratlfy this
suicidal proposition by their votes.
AS they constitute the great mass
OF tfe American people and as they are
eane' sensible and honorable men. the
overwhelming majority for Mckinley
and against Bryan which Tuesday will
record is thus accounted for.
Country Has Prospercd.
The people know that the country
mas prospered under Mckinley; that
wages have risen to higher rate than
ever before, that employment is nbund-
ant for all; that the savings of labor
have increased 4 half billion dollars;
that commercial prosperity has been
universal and commercial honor safe
guarded against the advocates of repu-
oiston, and so they naturally have de-
ciaed to re-elect him. and continue the
present conditions OF prosperity and
Eafety.
