San Francisco. Nov. 5.-The campaign
IN this state has been attended with lit
tie excitement In this city there has
been no general parade, nor attempt to
combine the nightly political meetings
into a big demonstra ton. The leaders
of both parties seem equally confident
and 1t IS impossible from surface indi-
cations to predict the result of tOmor-
rows election. Chairman Stone of the
Republican state committee. in a signed
statement declares that California. will
give Mckinley at least $4,000 plurality
and send full Republican defega ton to

cratic committee, states over his sig
nature that Bryan will have Is 900
plurality in the state and not less than
four of the seven congressman elected

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Boston, Nov. 5.-Quiet prevailed at the
several political headquarters today. On
the Democratic side the leaders were
pleased to hear an enthusiastic report
from George Fred Williams who reach
ed home yesterday after a speech max
ing tour of six weeks for Bryan. cover
ing points in IA states. Mr. Williams ex-
pressed the greatest confidence that Mr..
Bryan would be elected. Nothing had
developed to change the claim made by
the Democrats on Saturday that they
would elect four congressman in Mas
sachusetts and cut the plurality for Nc
kinley down to $4,000.
The Republican leaders are waiting as
patiently as possible in the expectation
that Tuesday nights figures will confirm
their claim that Mckinley Will receive
100000 plurality in Massa chusetts and
that only one Democrat will be sent to
congress from this state.

Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 5.-With fair
weather a record breaking vote will be
cast in this city ard county tomorrow.

the Republican plurality in the balance
of the county. L. A. Toilette, Republi-

EAGLE HAS A FIT.
Wichita Paper Abuses Topeka
For Not Supporting Stanley.

The following is from Sundays Wich-
ita Eagle:
Topeka is going to scratch Stanley a
thousand votes. Breidentha1 is a To-
peka man. Topeka is his home. The
claim made that notwithstanding Nc
Kinley will carry Kansas, Breidentha1
will be elected governor, is based upon
Topeka desires and sentiment. Stanley
is a Wichita man, and Topeka is going
to scratch Stanley outrageously. The
Capitals poll gives Mckinley nearly one
thousand more votes in Topeka than
Stanley, and the same authority gives
Breidenthal SedgWick county by 3l5-
AS Topeka Republicans are going to
scratch Wichita's candidate for COVER
nor / 600 votes, and there is little doubt
that the cut will be nearer l, 800, Wich-
ita ought in turn to give our home man
2 500 majority. Topeka has hampered
Wichita S interests at every turn and
fought Wichita in every way possible
for years. Topeka would not scratch
Republican candidate for governor
from any other town in the state, and
Wichita owes it to herself to resent the
outrage for it is not because Topeka
loves Breidenthal a Topeka prOh1bl-
zionist less but hates Stanley more be-
cause he halls from Wichita Topeka
can offer no other excuse for scratching
Stanley than her opposition to Wichita,
for Stanley has given Topeka more posi-
tions under his administration than he
=
state Every Democratic and PopuliSt
property holder and business man of
Wichita ought to resent it. The
Capital poll gives Breidenthal 70
more votes in Wichita than Bryan
upon the supposition. we suppose, that
the Prohibitionists of Wichita will sac
rifice their home man and home inter
ests for Topeka fanaticism and hatred.
Topeka, influences deprived Wichita of
a new federal district and a United
States judge and marshal. and for years
against Wichita. and has regularly de
feated Wichita in every attempt to have
a state institution located at this point.
Topeka defrauded Wichita of an oppOr-
tunity to bid for the states semi
NAL celebration. Let every Wichitan
stand by his home, by his business, and
by himself when he goes to the polls
next Tuesday by voting for the man
whom Topeka hates only because they
can't run him and because he lives in
Wichita and loves his home town"

ILLINOIS.

Chicago, Nov. 5-The state of Illinois
has been regarded at both the national
headquarters as one of the pivotal states
of the contest. Both the Democrats and
the Republicans have been very active
and the chairmen Of the state central
committees each claim a majority for
the national and state ticket. Mr.. Bryan
spent nearly a week of his tour in Ill-
nois and Governor Roosevelt visited the
state four times. The candidates for
governor have devoted particular atten-
ton to Chicago and Cook county. The
most distinguished speakers of the two
parties have also been brought in to
give their advice to the voters. The con-
tests for congressman and members of
the legislature have been warm and
the interest throughout the state is very
great the largest vote ever cast in the
state is looked for.

Sunday was political day at the To-
peka churches. In nearly every church
in the city the ministers delivered ser
mons bearing upon the local situation.
There was little excitement at any Of
the services but the advice Of the preach
ers Was received with hand-clapping
and with other manifestations of ap-
proval. Only at one place-the First
Baptist church-were the views of the
minister combatted by any member of
the congregation. There John r. Null
vane, Topekas richest man, protested,
but when Judge J. L. Elridge. a prohi-
bitionist, criticised the banker he was
applauded.
The editorial from a Topeka German
paper from which quotations were made
in the citizens address" published in
Saturdays State Journal was read and
furnished the basis for nearly all the
discussion.
The ministers went farther than the
citizens committee" for they urged not
only the defeat of Galen Nichols for
county attorney but Of Il. T. Hazen for
district judge, though nearly all stud
iOusly avoided naming the candidates
or making their sermons personal The
advice was, as a rule, of a general char
acter but was made plain enough 50
that there could be no misunderstanding
about what was meant.

TENNESSEE.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 5.-The cam
paign has been one of the most unevent-
ful and Enenthusiastic ever waged in
the state in presidential year and the
vote will fall far below that of 1896
The only interest attaching to the re-
suit IS to be found in the race for con-
greSs in the Third and Eighth congress
sional districts. which the Republicans
are making a strenuous effort to wrest
from the Democrats. Bryan's plurality
will be about 10000 and McMilin will
fall about 1900 behind the presidential
nominee.

MINNESOTA.

St Paul. Nov. 5.-There is today no
change in the figures previously given
by the state committees of the two 1,a1--
ties in Minnesota. The Republicans
claim the state for Mckinley by a large
majority while the Dem ocrats only claim
close vote on president Both parties
assert confidence in the result Of the
fight for governor
Railroad commissioners are also
claimed by both parties. but the rest of
the state ticket will probably be Re
publican The legislature will probably
be Republican, though the Democra IS
claim a certainty of gains. Republicans
claim all seven congressman but the
Democrats confidently expect two and
perhaps three of the number.

total vote.

Derver, Nov. 5.-The registration has
been largely increased throughout Colo
rado this year mainly through the activ-
ity of the women voters. In Denver 60
O16 names are registered, 10000 more
than in 1896. Charges Of padding the
registration and of colonizing have been
made on both sides. On the national
ticket the question appears to be merely
the size Of Bryan's majority.
The fusion state ticket will not receive
the entire Bryan vote, but its success is
regarded as probable nevertheless.
The incoming legislature will elect a
United States senator to succeed VOL
colt and the fusi0nists claim that prob
ably not over a dozen members pledged
to Wolcott will be elected.

IOWA.

Des AIoines, Ia, Nov 5-Iowa will
cast 600, 600 votes tomorrow if the weather
continues favorable. for the first time
in its history. Both Republican and
Democratic chairmen are agreed that
Mckinley will carry the state, and the
only disagreement existing is as to the
size OF the majority. Chairman Weaver,
Republican, stakes his reputation on
$4,000, an increase of 10000 over four
years ago, while Huffman, Democrat,
looks for a Is. 900 decrease. The total
vote will be 1000 larger than two years
ago, regardless of apathy, according to
figures of registration. Every city shows
a marked increase in registration. and
while some apathy exists in country dis
tricts it will not materially affect the
total vote.
