Bryan, making the total conceded 205.
Bryan has only to obtain nineteen
more votes from all the other states
which we claim, to insure his election.

Jersey and Kansas would do 1t, or eth

prodigy has virtually given up the con-
test for his masters. The Herald is the
quintessence Of Wall street. Its ut

that palace of MammOn. Its agents to

cans to register the edicts. In contro-
vertible figures will prove this. The
oracle says: "Elkins may be defeated
in West Virginia" Sure. And with
him Mckinley will go down. In 1893
the Democrats asserted that fraud and
false voting carried the small Republi-
can majority. For more than year
the Bryan gains have been continuous
and very marked.
Delaware has Democratic governor;
a united Democracy, and the majority
will be 2,200. Maryland elected the
Democratic governor last year by 12,-
2O3. The detection of Senator yelling

not less than 10000. 1t is not neces-

prising that the Republicans were en-
abled in a poll of 637, 1876 to secure a
plurality Of 1881. The Democrats are
perfectly sanguine of success, and to
friends here leading Republicans have
admitted their defeat in Indiana.
In Illinois the corruption and false
registration exceeded everything in
1896. The vote was jumped up from
HarrisOn's 307, ,2SS in 1902 to McIlin-
ley's GO7,13O; while Stevenson's 42U,-

South of Chicago there have been great
Bryan gains. Stevenson carried Illi-
nois in 1892; Cleveland was dead
weight. The strength of Stevenson
added to Bryan's makes it unquesti0n-
able to me as to Democratic victory;
and the Republicans know 1t. The reg
, istratiOn shows 1t. October gives to-
tai of 4O1. .4O3. 1t exceeds that of 1893
by 1856" Every sensible man fore
sees that an Increase in Democratic To-
calities means increased Democratic
majOrities. And similarly In Republl-
can strOnghOlds, increased Republican
majorities.
The consolation is telegraphed to Re-
publlcans that the registration is
greatest In the "Republican wards"-
no doubt the wards which were SO In
1S96-but since have turned over to
Bryan. All the comparisons made by
Republicans are with the votes OF 1906
for they despise the new sunlight af-
forded by the returns of 1900 and 1900.
There will be a great vote for Debs In
Chicago. and he will take far more
from Mckinley than from Bryan.

they got? San Francisco gave 3OS for

to blot that out In each OF twenty coun-
