ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS
 EXPECT SOME GAINS.

Chicago. November 3.-The actual work of the state and county campaign was finished tonight with mass meetings in all parts of the city of Chicago, and in many places throughout the state. The apathy which characterized the campaign in the early stages has vanished. and there has been during the last three weeks much more favor and interest shown.
 It has been, however, decidedly an off year political fight In this state the only officers to be elected are state tras- urer state superintendent of public in struction and three trustees Of the state university. Congressional elections Will De held in all of the districts and In some of them the fight has been hot. It is generally believed the republican ticket will win on the state officers proper, but the claims of the party managers diifer widely regarding the congressional elec- tions. Chairman West of the republican state central committee said today that he expected the republican party to carry the state by an overwhelming majority. He also predicted victory for his party in Cook county.
 Chairman Boeschenstein of the demo- cratic committee declared that the demo- crats will surely carry eight congression- al districts probably ten, and possibly fourteen He also claimed that the demo- crats will make substantial gains in the next legislature, which is to elect sue cessor to Senator Shelby Cullom, He dld not assert, however, that the democrats will be able to elect the next United States senator. while Chairman West of the republican committee declared that there was not the slightest doubt the sue cessor of Senator Cullom will be a repub- lican. The democrats have but one con gressman. Rainey of the Twenty-frst dis trict, from this state at the present time, and the republicans concede that he Will be reelected. In the Twentieth district thev also concede the election of q demo- crat
 They are making strong fight in the latter. however, and the result either way is not d certainty. The managers of the Independence league and the socialists are both making claims of large gains.

KENTUCKY SITUATION IS BADLY MUNDLED.

Louisville, November 3.-The situation in Kentucky as regards the congressional race offers no certainty Of any chanse from the present representation of nine democrats and two republicans. How ever, the republicans claim they will gain the Third and Fifth districts, the latter consisting of Louisville and Jefferson county In any event these two dlstrlets promise to be close.
 The races for governor and United States senator to succeed McCreary in the democratic primary. which will be held on election day, are much befogged by deals and rumors of deals between candidates ia tbe two races. The result Tn these cases seems to hinge on the size of the majority given in the First and Fifth districts. Governor Beckham IS credited tonight with a slight advantage over Senator McCreary for the senator ship, and s. W. Hager. probably has bet ter prospects than N. B. Hays for the governorship.

papers, the assassination of President Mckinley and denouncing him in no un- certain terms.
 Anomalous Situation In Brooklyn.
 In Brooklyn, Kings county, is an anomalous situation. State Senator Me Carren, democratic leader, and in ab- solute control of the democratic machine, has consistently opposed MT. Hearst both before and since the Buffalo convention At a recent political gathering Senator McCarren denounced Mir Hearst, and then moved the endorsement of the state democratic ticket, which was carried with a rush. Subsequently the meeting en- dorsed McCarrens stand in opposing MT. Hearst. Kings county nominally is demo- cratic by large majority.
 In Manhattan, as in other boroughs of the city, Richard Croker's views on Hearst's candidacy caused mild sensa- ton, particularly among Tammany fol- lowers, While declining to discuss Croker's stand, Murphy has reiterated his declaration that Tamnany would do everything it could to elect Hearst He did not believe, he said, that Crokers s opinions would turn any considerable number of Tammany voters away from Hearst.
 Three of the Independence league state candidates are on the democratic ticket, namely Mr. Hearst for governor, Lewis Stuyvesant Chandler for lieutenant gov ernor, and John Whaen for secretary of state

HUGHES AND HEA RST FINISH
 IN A BLAZE OF ENTHUSIASM
Last GHns Are Fired By
 The Leaders in NeAp York
MR. HEARST

New York. November 3-After a day of rest, broken only by trip to Yonkers, where he spoke briefly, William R. Hearst tonight made lively tour of Manhattan, where seven monster mass meetings had been arranged in his interest
 The candidates failing voice was a severe handicap to his oratorical efforts, but he was cheered by thousands.
 We have made a good fight and we will win a great victory" he said. The victory will be great in the number of our plurality, for l believe that we will win by over 100000. But the victory will be greater ill another way. It will be a great victory for the people against the power of corrupt corporations. It will be a great victory for the democracy of Thomas Jefferson and the republicanism of Abraham Lincoln
 'It will be more than a victory for political principles. It will be victory for essential morality in public life; for truth in public statement, and for hon- esty in public service.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars, per- haps millions of dollars, will be thrown into this Astate and city on election day by corrupt corporations to debauch the ballot, and corrupt election officials. Ger tainly these great trusts that make mil lions and hundreds of millions by gov ernmental favors and through the failure of public officials to enforce the law will spend part of these millions to pre- serve their special privileges.
 sProtect your ballots next Tuesday. See that the vote is honestly cast, and hon estly counted, and we will win great victory for the people of this state, a great victory for American principles which all patriotic American citizens everywhere will applaud On Tuesday my friends, we will restore the power In this republic to the people, and whip these corrupt corporations out of the temple of our government"

BRYAN SAYS DREAMS
 WILL YET COME TRUE
Compares Beveridge to Alexan-
 der Hamilton as Kicker
JEFFERSON WAS DREAMER
Bryan Characterizes Dreams of Democ' racy as Popular Election of Sena- tors, Tariff Reform, Arbitration
 and Trust Regulation.

Lincoln. Neb. November 3-W. J. Bryan spoke here tonight on the subject or 'Dreams." His address was an answer to republican orators who have spoken in Nebraska this fall criticising MT. Bryan, and more especially in reply to Senator Beveridge, who said in Lincoln several weeks ago that MT. Bryan was a splen- did man, but in politics an impracticable dreamer. Mir Bryan said Jefferson had been called d dreamer and in his day they had a Beverdge in the person of Alexander Hamilton one of whose pet ideas was that Presidents should be elected for life.
 T do not like that plan,' said MT. Bryan. Roosevelt Is only a year and a half older than l. and he is in perfect health. What chance would a man of my age have to be President? If such plan were in vogue you never would have had Roosevelt. Grover Cleveland still lives, my friends.
 Some of the dreams of democracy were described by Mr. Bryan as being the election of United States senators by di- rect vote, tariff reform, arbitration and trust regulation These were dreams, he declared which would in time come true.
 Mr Bryan said, considering his environ ment President Roosevelt had done well, but that there had been no part of his popularity that had not been derived from his advocacy of democratic principles.

MIR. HUGHES.

New York, November 3.-The hardest work of a particularly hard week had been reserved by his campaign managers for today, when Charles F. Hughes made six day and four evening addresses be- audiences that yet had heard the repub- lican gubernatorial candidate.
 Tonight there were three indoor meet ings. He said among other things
 Forty years ago we had a great crisis in this country-a little more than forty years ago-and to preserve the Union we poured out our money and the lives of many of our best citizens. We desired to have equality before the law. We de- sired to have the benefits of free institu- tions extended to all those that were Juss as much entitled to them as those that already enjoyed them.
 ''The Union was preserved but our ef- forts to preserve our free government must be unremitting.
 "In this campaign there has been brought home to all the citizens Of thls state that they must be alive to what IS essential to the perpetuity of decent, Tree and honorable government.
 "Once you abandon that conscientious desire to do right, that desire to accord to vour neighbor the right that you de- mand for yourself. you enter upon path that leads straight to anarchy.
 we don't want any lynch law in this country We don't want any lynch law in criticism We don't want any lynch law in newspapers. We don't want lynch law or the spirit that manifests itself in lynch law anywhere.
 we can accomplish our reforms Tn an orderly and sober manner. Screeehlng ana .opdioor tba air with SlriekS and shouts do not settle any vital question either in our business or ill our political life. We want sincere and disinterested leader chin
