nor so harmonious as they are now, tho
Republican party organization was new
er in better shape than it is today. Michi-
gan is normally Republican, and it is eX-
pected that the full Republican vote will
| be polled, the detection from the ranks
being counterbalanced by the accession
of those Democrats who cannot stand
with Bryan on the 16 to 1 platform of
| the Kansas City convention.
When the campaign first opened 1t was
thought that the action of congress as to
Porto Rico would have distinct effect on
the national ticket in the state. With this
supposiion Republican candidates for
congressional honors sprung up all over
the state, but when the conventions were
held there were no factional fights and
all of the twelve Republican congress-
men except Mesick were unanimously re-
nominated, and strong resolutions were
passed in each case commencing the
nominee for his course in congress AMI
indorsing the administration of Presi-
| dent Mckinley.
Secretary Moore, of the Republican
state central committee, is very reticent
| about giving figures to either Detroit
! or other papers, by Senator Mcmillan,
| who has just returned from a tour of
the northern and central portions of the
| state, says he is confident that Michigan
| will go for Mckinley and Roosevelt by
| at least 10000 plurality
| With the exception of Chairman Cam
| pau, of the Democratic state central
| committee, none Of the Democrats have
| ventured an opinion of Bryan's probable
plurality, although they Loyalty contend
| that he will carry the state. Mr.. Cam
| pau has issued no official figures, but In
| private conversation has expressed the
| opinion that the state will go for Bryan
| and Stevenson by about 10000 plurality.

INDIANA
Men who IRE watching the Indiana
| campaign closely and who speak from q
non-partisan standpoint are asserting
that the Republicans will have safe ma
jority Nov. 6. The more conservative
politicians are not predicting in figures,
although Republican state officers are
claiming the state for the Republican
ticket by from 2G000 to 80, goo. Gov. Mount
says the state will give an increased
plurality this year over that of 1886.
In spite of the declarations of Republi-
can politicians and managers Democratic
leaders are claiming the state. They say
Bryan is going to get large vote from
the laboring classes, who will vote
against the JuSlS. IAGtlS I'll lllG 1uOSI SlO~
stantial citizens, they say, are not in
sympathy with McKfnley's policy and are
SO dissatisfied with it that they will cast
their votes for Bryan. 1t is thought the
open letter of Gen. Harrison strengthened
Democratic hopes in Indiana The min
ing vote is a feature in the campaign this
year and both parties have sent some CT
their best speakers into the bitumineus
coal district
1t is asserted that Eugene V. Debs will
poll a pretty good vote among the miners,
The Republicans have more money to dfs-
tribute than the Democrats and probably
g. better organiza ton by which it may be
distributed Thomas Taggart vigorously
denies the story that he touched Tam
many for $4,000 in his recent New York
trip. Both he and Harry S. New, the ma
ticnal committeeman of the two parties
for this state, are now in Chicago.
NEVADA.
Senator Stewart, who has just arrived
here from Washington, was interviewed
relative to the political situation. He
said:
forecast of the situation. as I have not
! been in the state long enough this time
and have been about but little. You
can say that | believe this state will give
Mckinley a majority"
Gov. SadIer, who was present stated:
This state will positively give Bryan
over 4,0G0 A great effort is being made
by the Republicans to cut Bryan's ma
jority down here, but no power IN poll
ties can defeat Bryan in this state
William Sharon figured organs major
ity at over 3,00o and Newland's, for
congress, whose campaign he is manag
ing, at 1000. Fitzgerald, Democratic
nominee for supreme judge, will carry
the state by fully as large vote as
Bryan and some estimate 1t at more.

ocrats, and this alliance is counted on to
give 5000 votes for Bryan out of 10000.
Senator Stewards detection has thrown
additional fat into the flames, and the
| feeling toward him on the part of his
former political associates is very tor
rid He will not speak in the state, but
has issued a ten-page pamphlet explain
ing the reasons for his adherence to
Mckinley after being a Bryan man four
years ago.
WYOMING.
Four years ago Wyoming gave Bryan
majority of less than 500. Republicans
claim that the sentiment has died out
| and while the Democrats admit that
| silver is not the issue here. they are
! confident that Bryan will have larger
majority this fall than he did in 1896.
The Democratic committee has not made
| a vigorous campaign this year, owing
| to the lack of funds, but the party feid-
ers are sanguine of success. Secretary
| VOORHEES,, of the Democratic committee,
! saws Bryan's majority will be in excess
| of $50, and that Thompson, for congress,
| will run equally as Well. Chairman Van
! Orsdell, of the Republican committee,
| SAYS Mckinley will carry Wyoming by
! a very comfortable majority, but he re-
| fuses to go into figures.
| A conserva tive non-partisan estimate
| of the election in Wyoming gives Nc
Kfnley a majority of from Loco to 1000.
