Anticipating Defeat. /,

After claiming everything and having
a full assortment OF paramount Issues
to use In different sections OF the coun-
try, and now realizing that their cause
is hopeless one, the Democrats are
hedging on the result. The other day
John F. Alleged. the man who pardoned
the Chicago anarchists, said TO Cleve-
land reporter: ~ ;i
Tho Republican campaign managers
are not figuring on what will go into the
ballot-box. but what will come out OF
It." Asked to explain his meaning. he
said: They expect to win by false
counts after the vote has been taken"
This is the sheerest kind OF nonsense
"Altgeld knows" says the Cleveland
Leader that there is no chance for
either party to win the election by
fraud in any Of the states whose votes
will decide the contest. In every state
which is expected to give Its electoral
vote to Mckinley the ballot-box is
hedged about by safeguards which rem
der fraud impossible. Take Ohio, for
Instance, where the Australian ballot
law is in force. as 1t is in practically
every northern state. Here the voter Is
free to exercise the privilege Of voting
without interference of any kind. In
every precinct OF the state the vote will
be counted by Democratic and Republic
can election officers, and there will be
no chance OF fraud. The only place in
the country where the votes will be
fraudulently returned Is the south.
