most Systematically fought cam
paigns in the history of Nebraska
closed tonight, with the exception of
the final meetings Monday, when
Bryan will make speeches through the
state and address several audiences in
Omaha in the evening. The Republi-

Gratis are decidedly confident and are
making large claims, which they al
lege will be borne out when the re-
turns are counted. Chairman Lind

Mckinley will have from 5000 to 1000

Chinese force of regulars in the noun

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-Tonight
both state headquarters are busy.
County chairmen have been hurrying
in and out all day. The Republicans
are claiming a landslide for Mckinley,
and say that they will elect II out of
13 congressman. This estimate con-
cedes only the Second and Third dis
tricts to the Democrats. Senator Bev-
eridge says that Indiana will go Re-
publican by 10000, and Senator Fair
Lanks is equally as confident. During
the past week the Democrats have
thrown all their national speakers in
to the fight. Meetings have been held
in every county. Senator Beveridge
spent the week in the southern part of
the state. A poll by the independent
Republican paper was made public
this afternoon and gives Mckinley a
plurality of $4,000 in the state. Bet.
ting is still two to one that Mckinley
will carry the state, while the Demo-
cratic leaders express confidence in
the result The Republican managers
are enthusiastic in their claims of an
overwhelming victory. Conservative
Republicans do not claim the state by

Louisville, KY, Nov. 3.-Both cam

of enthusiasm, with more widespread
interest, perhaps, than ever attended
any other in Kentucky. On account of
Goebel's assassination there have been
so many breaks in the ranks on both
sides that little stress can be placed on
the claims of either side, and a land
slide one way or another would not be
surprising to many, While the cam

unusually so, there has been very lit

THE one vital question To be settled

Shall majority rule be upheld, or shall

else the principle is accepted as mat
ter Of fact. No party can survive ua-
less the minority submits tn the major
