Result of "Straw Vote on Presiden-
tia1 Preferences of Chicagoans.
Chicago, Aug. 22.-The Tribune,
which has just completed a ''straw vote"
of presidential preferences of all classes
of Chicago voters, found remarkable Re-
publican gains among all classes of citi-
zens. 1t says:
''The canvass was concluded yester-
day, after 1O,9SS persons had explained
their preferences for presidential candi-
dates. Of the number 6,5O4 gave Roose-
welt as their choice, $3.50 said their bal
lots would be cast for Parker in No
vember, and 548 expressed themselves
for Debs, the Socialist candidate.
"There is a gain shown of 498 in the
usual Republican vote and loss of 420
from the usual Democratic vote. This
indicated practically the same percent
age as last week, when there was a Re
publican gain of 17S over the regular
Republican vote and a Democratic loss
of 251 out of 3,6O5 persons polled.

The fact OF the business is that the
big democrats of the nation who have
visited the national capital In the past
few days all are wearing smiles, says
our Washington correspondent They
feel that the situation Is clarifying it
self SO far as the presidential question
is concerned. From the action of the
different states all over the country
in sending uninsructed delegations to
the national convention, they feel that
the purpose Of the democracy this year
is to get together. 1t looks like the
watchword is and will be at the CON
vention to meet in the city of st Louis
on July 8 next, get together, take
counsel, get the best man and man
who can and will win. put out a plat
form that the people at large will en-
dorse and then all go out and fight like
tigers until victory comes to the party
OF the people and rebukes the party
OF spoliation, OF special privilege, of
combines, Of trusts, OF treasury loot
ers, and postofhce grafters. 1t no
longer now is the question of any
single individual. It is the question
of the man who can I'LL the public eve,
in the estimation OF the delegated de-
mocracy in convention assembled, and
who can compel the democratic hosts
to get out and get red In the face IN
support of him. They feel that the
people not only are sore at but really
afraid of the political "four flush" and
"fakir' now In the white house and
only await the opportunity to vote him
out and place therein some man who
will execute the laws of the country
and not attempt to usurp the preroea,
tiyes Of the legislative branch OF the
government. 1t is the consensus Of
opinion here that such a man will b,
nominated at st Louis and will b,
elected.
