The committee has been encour-
aged over the registration returns IN
Chicago. bhe figures show marked
increase in the Republican wards and
a consequent falling off in the Demo-
cratic wards.
Illinois political leaders claim on
the basis of these figures the election
of Mr. Taft and Gov. Deneen In Ill
inois by more than $1,000 votes.
A number of Chicago's most promi-
nent business men issued a state
ment saying that in their opinion the
election of Mr.. Bryan would bring
industrial and business depression.
Norman r. Mack, chairman OF the
Democrttic national committee, has
taken exceptions to these remarks,
claiming that no one has a right to
foster panic in this way. The
dispute has waged back and forth.
The business men told Mr.. Mack that
his attitude was an insult to the In
telligence of the American voters.
In this connection an editorial
which appeared in the New York
Stats Zeitung, the paper owned by
the vi lllC btlhONioAiN tpAi
paign fund. is interesting. Mr. Rid
der wrote:
Mr.. Bryan's election surely would
cause disturbance of the Industrial
and economic development of the
country. We deem Republican
victory less dangerous for the coun-
try than the election of Mr.. Bryan.
Nothing better could happen to the
party than to get rid of this incubus.
The east is too conservative and level
headed TO give a majority to man
who on economical questions Is
ignorant and who, promted by his
confused notions, would grasp the
first opportunity to cause terrible
catastrophe. He does not possess
real knowledge or comprehension OF
the problem with which he seeks 10
concern himsef."

also contributes to that literature In
which the Democratic candidate is
condemned by the big men OF his
own party. Mr.. Waterson writes:

though not in 1900, ! am so sensible
of my lack of desert that, while In
the coming campaign | shall labor to
elect him-still distressing him
shall not expect any other than
negative results from his advent 10
power. nor dream Of crossing his
threshold after his election.
Just before Mr. Bryan's return
last summer and his bad break at
Madison Square garden, Mr.. John G.
lei al tn II Il y
Bryan know him WE'LL like him,
but he has no more idea of the res
possibilities of government than a
child.
So positive are Silberman Brothers
the Chicago wool firm, that the
election of Mr. Bryan means big
slum in the wool market, that .they
have taken out 100000 policy
with the English Lloyds, insuring
their wool against a declining mar
kef. The premium paid on this in
suranee was $4,000. The wool men
believe that in the event of Mr.
Bryan's election the sheep markets
of the country will be glutted and the
price OF mutton will go down 10 the
lowest figure in the history of the
country. Within ten days after the
election of Judge Taft, it is predicted
that the price of breeding ewes Will
advance from 81 to 81 a head.
