CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-The following state
ment was given out at the headquarters
of the Republican national committee to-
night:
There are few surface indications at this
time dissimilar to those of four years ago.
when Mckinley swept the country by the
greatest majority probably ever given TO
presidential candidate. The work of the
Republicans during the past four weeks
has been marvelously effective. IL has
been marked everywhere by completeness
in detail OF machinery. harmonious action
and desired results. In the history of the
party no better organization has ever ex-
listed Mckinley and Roosevelt will carry
every State which voted for Mckinley and
Hobart four years ago. and certainly seven
or eight others that voted for Bryan I'm 1896
The alleged hopes of Croker and Bryan
as TO carrying Indiana and New York are
simply following out the programme of
claiming everything in sight for the pur-
pose OF encouraging their followers in close
States 10 make the most desperate efforts
for success The claims of the Republicans
are based on the result of actual work re-
ported by men in the field, brought I'D
through precinct, ward, township, city,
county and State organization, and on ac-
tual facts as shown by the closest poll
ever made by any political organization"

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 5.-A campaign
that really began before any nominations
were made closed tonight in Kentucky
with both sides claiming the State in

interested estimates do not put the ma
jority either way above 6.Ooo or 5000 The

who in the last election cast 12,140 votes
for John Young Brown for Governor. has
Endorsed Yerkes. Republican. for Governor,
and Bryan. The Democrats claim that the
bulk of the Independents have returned
TO the party. 1t is generally believed that
Bryan will run ahead of Beckham (Dem.)
for Governor. and that Yerkes will run
ahead Of Mckinley, whether Democrats or
Republicans carry the State The Repub-
licans hope by fusion with Brown DEM
ocrats'' TO carry several congressional dis
tricts now represented by Democrats.
Already arrests have been made in vari-
Gus parts of the State for alleged brib-
cry and alleged plans to invalidate ballots
before they are cast. Both sides are un-
usually watchful and alert and the cleo
ton viii be conducted under a yeritable
searchlight of public scrutiny.

Van wyck's Order.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor Roose-
velt's message to the mayor was delivered
to Mr. Van Wyck at the Democratic Club
tonight The mayor at once took a cab
and was driven TO police headquarters,
where he called upon Chief Devery. The
mayor and the chief of police were closet
ed together for an hour. At the conclusion
o. the conference Chief Devery announced
that, in accordance with the mayors or
ders, the order issued on Sunday to cap
tains regarding the McCullagh deputies and
voters would be rescinded. The order of
the mayor read as follows: You will at
once revoke the order issued from your
office on the 4th inst, relative TO the du-
ties of the police force on election day,
and YOU will issue Immediately such fur
Their orders as will require your subor-
dinates to cooperate with and assist in
the execution and enforcement of the met
ropolitan election district law and amend
ments thereto"
Later Van Wyck made the following
statement: There will be no intimidation
or violence at the election tomorrow. 1t
will pass off as quietly as that Of a country
village. The chief of police will take
charge of that, and will preserve order.
L have the utmost confidence in the chief.
He knows his duties and is perfectly eff
ficient chief, and understands how to main
tain peace and order

eral, and are not based on reason. They
always make sweeping claims. even in the
face OF conditions they know to be against
them. There Is such wide difference be-
tween the Industrial and commercial con-
ditions now and four years ago that the
failure OF the Republicans to achieve an
unprecedented victory tomorrow would

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Nov. 5.-With the
close of the campaign the election of Mr..
Holiday TO Congress from the Fifth dis
trict becomes more of certainty. AS a
matter of fact, all the discussion Of the
district as "doubtful' has been based on
a misapprehension. Because Mr. Faris car
ried it by only 365 in 1896 and 252 in 1898 too
many persons have taken IL for granted
that the district is that close. Mr.. Nc
Kinley carried it in 1896 by 922. and in 1898
1t gave the Republican secretary of state,
the head of the ticket, 1,l27 plurality. No
one pretends that Mr.. Holiday will run
behind his ticket as Mr.. Faris did in 1896
and 1898. The only hope the Democrats
have had has been that the Republicans
of Vigo county would quarrel and that
ono faction or the other would cause Mr..
Holiday TO lose votes. That hope has
been abandoned. Not in fifteen years has
the party in this county been as sincere
and unanimous in its effort to elect a
member of Congress as it is now to elect
Mr.. Holiday. In 1896 Mr.. Mckinley car
ried this county by 462, and I'm 1898 il went
100 Republican In vote that was about
1,60v short of the total of 1896. There may
be some scratching or splitting of the
county ticket, but there will be none on
the congressional ticket. The probability Is
that Holiday will carry this county by
400 or more. In his own county. Clay,
which is also Mr.. Horner's county, Mr..
Holiday will run ahead of his ticket. In
none of the other counties in the district
is he likely TO lose votes Of Republicans,
and it will not be surprising If his plurality
in the district is as great as 1000.

IN NEW JERSEY.
Republicans Confident of Big Plural
ity-NO Democratic Figures.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--There has been no
change in the political situation in New
Jersey to-day. The Republicans are con-
fdent Of success, but the Democrats claim
that If the members of their party who
remained away from the polls four years
ago turn out tomorrow the State will go
for Bryan. The increase in registration,
the Republicans claim, is due to the nor
NAL growth of the voting people The
Democrats, however, claim that the in
crease shows that those Democrats who
remained away from the polls four years
ago expect to vote tomorrow. The great
fight i'm the State will be for the legis-
lative officers. The eight State senators to
be elected will have a vote next year for
successor to Senator William j. SeweE,
ordinary circumstances the Democrats
would hope to elect seven of the eight
senator's. because the counties from which
they are TO be elected are Democratic.
but IL being a presidential year, the Re-
publicans claim the the big vote that will
be polled for Mckinley will enable them
to pull through five of the senator's, which
would give them such a majority in the
Senate that only a landslide next year
would prevent them having a majority
on joint ballot.
Chairman Franklin, Of the Republican
State committee. to-day said There is
very little that can be said that has not
been said already. The Republican party
seems to be in very good condition all over
