CHICAGO, November 3.-Chairman
Jones, of the National Democratic COM
mittee, furnished the Associated Press
tonight, with the following statement
covering the outlook from his stand
point:
The fight is won. Bryan and Stew
,enSon will be elected. The Democratic
majority in the electoral college Will
be ample. The Democrats will hold all
the States they carried in 1896 with the
possible exception of Wyoming. We
will also carry New YORK, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and ILL.,
I>nois. The chairman OF the State COM
mittee of California has Just wired me
that we Will carry that State by 10000
majority. In a general way | should
say that there Will be somewhat OF a
falling off of Bryan's strength compar-
ed with 1896 west of the Mississippi
and that east of the Mississippi he will
make overwhelming gains. The cam
paign has been spirited from the start
The Democrats were somewhat handi-
capped for want of funds, while the
Republicans, as four years ago, had
more money than they could use. The
Republicans have endeavored 10 in
timidate laboringmen and alarm bus
mess men, but not with the fierce OPP
preston they brought TO bear in 1896
1t is my opinion that intimidation has
been a failure this year and that both
workingmen and businessmen will vote
according to the dictates of conscience.
OF course the trusts, the great aggrega-
tons of combined capital, the seekers
for franchises in Porto Rico and the
Philippines, the promoters and exploit
ers generally, nave spared no effort
and will spare no effort to re-elect Nc
Kinley. 1t is my firm belief, however,
that the electorate cannot be debauch-
ed this year to d sufficient extent to
throttle he public will The country
is aroused as it has not been since the
days preceding the civil war. The ex-
istence of the form of government es-
tablished by the fathers is at stake.
Whether the trusts shall govern the
country or the country regulate the
trusts, must be decided. 1t will be
found when the votes are counted that
the people have determined with em-
phasis that the republic must be pre-
served, that the power of the trusts
may be curbed, that the man is to be
considered before the dollar and that
the choice of the people cannot be sup
pressed by attempted intimidation or
corruption.
THE States that will vote for Bryan
will show that the people have conf
dence in him from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific and from the northermost 10
the southernmost boundaries of the re-
public.

HOUSE WILL BE DEMOCRATIC.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Chair-
man Richardson, Of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee, to-
night made the following statement as
to the next House OF representatives,:
We are absolutely certain that the
next House win be Democratic, and we
believe that the Republican leaders well
know It. many prominent Republicans
having admitted H. The majority will
be a good safe one. at least %. This
committee has not deemed Il wise 70 go
into detailed estimates showing the dis
tricts they are confident OF carrying. or
those that they are making a fight for.
for the reason that we do not wish 20
invite greater opposition or arouse the
Republicans 10 concentrate their forces
ia those districts where our Democratic
candidates are making hopeful battle
The wisdom OF this must be apparent
10 every good Democrat and is certainly
appreciated by every intelligent man.
The claims Of the Republicans that
they expect to carry the House by a de-
eided majority is all for political effect.
The prominent men OF the party have
conceded for some time past that the
situation was desperate and probably
hopeless so far as the House was con-
cerned. and the claims now are made TO
keep their spirits up"

CHARLESTON, w. Va, November 8
Chairman Miller, of the Democratic
State Committee, has given out the fol-
lowing forecast of the election in West
Virginia:
''The outlook for Democratic success
is thoroughly satisfactory. Our major
ity will be at least ten thousand for
the State ticket with a safe majority
in each branch of the legislature. This
estimate is made after verification
of a careful and conservative poll of
the State. The Republicans are now
devoting their attention to the purchase
of individual voters and the location
of the colonists who have been shifted
in the last few days TO different points.
These people are being carefully look
ed after. A scheme of certain Republic
can politicians which seems to have
originated in Fayette county is to Sc
cure possession of an official ballot to
be used at each precinct with the name
of the clerks forged thereon, this bal
lot to be voted and the one furnished
by the commissioners of the election
returned to a trusty man on the out
side to be used by others and an end
less chain maintained. The fight of the
Democracy is to secure an honest cleo
ton and a fair count This they pro-
pose to nave at all hazards. The pres
ent indications are that we will secure
the election of a Congressman from
each district West Virginia will be
in the Democratic column.

THE GREAT PARADE.

CHICAGO, November 3.-When VIM.
]. Bryan stepped down tonight from
the reviewing stand at the intersection
of Plymouth Place and Jackson boule
ward, from which he had watched the
Democratic parade, and left for his
home in Lincoln, the Democratic cam
paign in Chicago, Cook county and the
State of Illinois, was practically over.
For hours after Mr. Bryan had gone,
the cheering thousands swept down the
boulevard, for it was a great parade
the greatest and most successful affair
of the kind ever managed by the local
Democracy. 1t was intended to be the
GROWING effort Of Mr.. Bryan's folloy-
ers in Chicago and the county of Coca,
and it proved in realization all that the
most ardent Democrat could have de-
sired.
The weather was perfect, a clear
bright moonlight night with a cool
breeze blowing off Lake Michigan. The
streets were filled with cheering multi
tudes that packed the sidewalks, and
windows and found points OF vantage
upon tops Of street cars and the roofs
of buildings. II would be difficult to
tell which eheered the more-the crowd
of marchers or the crowd OF on-loOkers.
but while the parade was in progress
the streets gave forth one continuous
roar Of human voices. punctuated by
shrill blasts from tin horns and the
crash OF music from the bands. All
along the line OF march. which was
confined entirely to the downtown
streets, men had been stationed With
unlimited supplies OF red fire and pos
tive injunctions 10 keep her burn
ing" The orders were obeyed TO the
letter and the pale yellow CLANS from
the torchers Of the marchers We're
throughout many portions OF the route
made insignificant by the bright Grim
son glare from the many fires along the
sidewalks.
Upon the reviewing stand stood Mr..
Bryan. Senator James X. Jones, Chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee: Samuel Alschuler. the candi-
date of the party for Governor of Illi-
nois; Mayor Harrison and a number of
lesser lights of the Democracy. The
greetings extended to the Democratic
candidate by the men in the line OF
march were enthusiastic in the ex-
IRENE. There were Bryan clubs, Bryan
leagues, Alschuler clubs and leagues.
and Bryan and Alschuler clubs and
leagues, seemingly without limit. The
great strength of the parade lay, how
ever, in the ward clubs turned out 10
greet Yr. Bryan. Even in the COM
mand Of General Mcdonald. whose men
came chiefly from wards which In all
elections are eternally and hoDelessly
Republican, the members of the ward
clubs were present in full force.
Great numbers of transparencies were
carried. many of the sentiments evok-
ing much laughter and applause.

CHICAGO, November 3.-With four
addresses in Chicago and one at Har-
vey, VIM. Jennings Bryan to-day prac-
tically closed his long campaigning in
the struggle for the presidency. To-
night from in front Of the Union
League Club on Jackson boulevard, Mr.
Bryan reviewed, amid a din of cannon
and glare of fireworks, an immense pa
rade of Democrats which marked the
close of the campaign in Chicago and
late tonight he left over the Burling-
ton road for his home in Lincoln, where
with his family he will receive election
returns next Tuesday. To-day, the
third of Mr.. Bryan's speech-making in
Chicago was marked by tremendous
crowds at each of the five meetings ad-
dressed by him and the parade tonight
developed into one long ovation, the
cheering for the Democratic presiden-
tial candidate being almost incessant
from the time he stepped onto the re-
viewing stand until rather weary from
his arduous work of the past three days
he stepped into his carriage and was
driven to the Union Station.
At noon to-day the Iroquois club gave
a banquet in honor of Mr.. Bryan,
at which many of the members who OPP
posed him in 1896 pledged him support
on next Tuesday. At 10 O'Clock Mr..
Bryan began his days speechmakinG
at big meeting in front of the Transit
house, Forty-second and Halstead
streets, the center of the stock yards
district Three other meetings were also
addressed by Mr.. Bryan during the
afternoon. At 2:30 p. m. he spoke at
an open-air meeting at Maxwell and
Union streets, and at A p. m. at an
open-air meeting on the lake front.
Washington street and Michigan ave-
nue.. From there Mr.. Bryan took a
suburban train to Harvey, where he
addressed a big meeting of foundry
men and mill hands. The final meet
ing of the day and the last of Mr..
Bryans remarkable campaign, outside
of his own State, was at the Calumet
theatre, at South Chicago. From there
Mr.. Bryan went at once to the review
ing stand on Jackson boulevard. For
more than an hour he stood and bowed
as the hosts of Democracy marched by
and cheered their leader.

CHICAGO. November 3.-The cam

city, and have strong hopes of carry

claim that they are not at all anxious
as TO Chicago. their poll showing that
a considerable majority of the voters
will support their State and national
ticket. The chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee said that
Mckinley will get at least $4,000 ma
jority in Illinois. The chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee
said:
Bryan will receive an increased
vote as compared with 1896 in every
precinct" and he had little doubt that
Bryan and the Democratic ticket viii
receive a substantial majority Tues
day. Four years ago Mckinley had a
plurality of 142,498 The Republicans
expect TO succeed in every congression-
al district they carried two years ago.
and TO gain two Congressman. The
Democrats, on the other hand, look for
gain of five Congressman, one or two
of them in Chicago. Both sides have
fought hard for the Legislature. which
will elect a successor TO Senator Gull
lon. To secure majority on joint
ballot the Democrats will have to carry
all the districts in which they were
successful two years ago. and gain ff-
teen others. The control of the Legis-
lature is largely dependent upon the
vote of Chicago

STARTLING EVIDENCE
OF Proposed Attempts at Fraud Dis
covered in Huntington.

Special to the Register
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, November g..
Startling evidences of fraud have
been developing daily among the Re-
publican gang in control of this city
and county. Hundreds of negroes are
colonized here for the purpose of illegal
voting, and the situation is aggravated
by the fact that smallpox has broken
out among the Migrants.
An affidavit from a Chicago man sent
here as a detective was given out to-
day, setting forth that he had been in
carcerated in the city Jail, supplied with
food and good bed, and promised
forty dollars ii he would remain here
and vote eight times next Tuesday.
Full instructions were given him as to
what his pretended occupation was and
the different names under which he
was to vote. This is only an example
of existing conditions among the des-
perate Republicans.
A largely attended meeting of bust
ness Democrats was held at the city
hall tonight for the purpose of devils
ing ways and means for checking the
intended fraud. Great indignation was
expressed and an organization effected
looking to active work on election day
Judge Jackson, of the Feredal Court,
was here to-day and gave the strongest
sort of instructions to United States
Commissioner Bryan and District At
torney Northcott to uphold the purity
of the ballot at all hazards. The Re-
publicans are desperate and realize that
nothing put the grossest frauds in the
election can save them.
