LINCOLN. Nov. 6.-CSpecial 1.-The cam
paign in Lancaster county will close to-
morrow night with a big republican rally
at the Auditorium, at which Senator Burk-
EFT. VIII Hayward and others will speak.
The democrats had their final fling insofar
as Lincoln meetings are concerned last
night, when Gilbert M. Hitchcock and John
Mcguire, candidate for congress, spoke.
While the managers OF the republican
county organization are positive that Sens-
tor Aldrich will carry the county by at
least 1900, and Burkett and Hayward will
get through with majorities equally large,
II not larger, the democratic managers will
make no such admissions, but on the other
hand they claim the county viii be an
even break, or that if the republicans
carry the county the majority on governor
will be no more than 800 or whereabouts,
Others say that Dahlman will carry the
county The impression seems TO be gen
eral that he will carry the city wards, but
in the country the Aldrich majority Is
expected to be heavy.
hitchcock speech Loses Supporters.
An awful fight has been made on Senator
Burkett in his home county. the self-styled
insurgents here opposing him. as they did
in the primary. What effect they viii
have cannot be foretold. but this much is
certain, Congressman Hitchcock lost many
supporters by his speech last night at the
Auditorium. There has never been a ques-
ton but what the most popular candidate
on the democratic ticket insofar as this
county is concerned is Mayor Dahlman.
When Mr.. Hitchcock did not mention his
name last night or In any way try to
offset the Bryan speech against Dahlman
hundreds of the supporters OF tho Omaha
mayor, who have been for Hitchcock only
incidentally, deserted his cause, and on
| the streets today they said they would not
vote for him and would not ask others to
I help him.
! The self-styled insurgents were also in
suited by Hitchcock when he said the in
surgent republicans in Nebraska could ac-
compllsh nothing because they had no
leader Of ability. This Of course, included
Judge Norris, who led the insurgent fac
/ ton IN congress, and Il included Judge w.
II. England, who sent the famous author
iEed' telegram from Wisconsin saying what
LaFollette thought of Burkett. when he
had never seen LaFollette, according to a
later telegram sent by the latter. Con
siderable surprise was expressed that Mr.

Legislative Ticket Mixed.
So far as the legislative ticket is con
cerned in Lancaster county everything II
Just as much mixed as II Is on the STATE
ticket There Is every indication that g
majority of the republican candidates will
be elected though 1t is possible that one
or more democrats may squeeze through
Regarding the congressional fight ther'
seems to be an impression that win Hay
ward will receive q good majority in tn,
county, though IL 10 the home OF Con
gresham Mcguire. AS Hayward stands
for county option, which Is in his STATE
platform, and as It has been announced
that he will vote for the Curtis bill II
congress, he will lose some OF the we
vote here. even though many Of that clas
are his personal friends. However, tn
general impression is that Hayward viii
be elected. hands down, even IL the factioI
OF the republican party which fought hin

numerous politicians interviewed are o
the opinion that the result on governo

on the vote in Douglas county. In fac
these politicians seem to believe that tn
defeat OF Dahlman, II accomplished, mus
be secured by the voters OF Omaha. Con
siderable money was put up here yester
day on the result. there being no odd
