"Here is a totul of 278 votes, or TA

which are practically sure for McKin

"T come now to some states which
nre still In doubt, lint which under the
hinh tide of Republican success noiv
sweeping over the country will be al
most sure to vote for McKinley, If not
all of them, at least a very large pro.
portion of them, to wit:
Kansas W Wyoming 3

"Here are thirty-live electoral votes
from .which McKinley will surely re
ceive enough to make Rood any acci
dent that may befall the total of 27.
Of the remaining states, Louisiana,
with 8 electoral vols, Tennessee, 12;
Missouri, 17; Texas, in; and Virginia,
with 12, or B4 lu all, one or more of
them Is within the line of possibility, I
might almost say reasonable probabil

"These are practically sure for the
opposition, although there may be a
possible dispute even along that line.
CHANG B IN 8ENTIMKNT.
"I put my estimate upon the facts
within my own personal knowledge of
the rapid and mighty change in public
sentiment that has been going on ever
since the actual campaign of IMS be
gan. I believe that the vote of Arkan
sas, to which our opponents nre point
ing with pride, is more significant of
coming results in the middle and west
ern states than Is even the magnificent
victory in Maine. The fact that a state
like Arkansas, with the character of
whose elections we have become fa
miliar, exhibited such a splendid in
crease of Republican votes and such a
significant decrease of Democratic
votes, is In the highest degree import
ant and a relative Increase of Republi
can votes In the other stntes of the
middle and west would give us prac
tically a solid vote. No sensible man
can shut his eyes to the fact that the
McKinley tide has been rising since
about the first of AtPrust and that the
ratio of its Inc grows greater
every day. The e cumpaign is
suggestive of 1872, ,.'u In July and
August there was a grave apprehen
sion that Ureely might be elected. Yet
In November he was overwhelmingly
and disastrously defeated.
"I may add in this connection that
estimates and prophetic utterances of
our opponents may be well illustrated
by the situation in Ohio. During my
reecrt trip to the east I found scores of
P.i 'i'-ans who were anxiously ,ln
qtiir.rr if Ohio would be carried by
McKinley and scores of Democrats who
insisted that the'r Information left no
possible doubt of McKinley's defeat
in his patty state. Sinee my return
I have had advices from every con
gressional district In the state and I
predict with confidence that McKinley
will have more than 100,CKiO majority in
Ohio and that he will carry as many
congressional districts as we did in
1SD4, or In no event will we lose more
than one district."
SAT IN LINCOLN'S PEW.
Mr. Bryan Attended Religions Scr
vice While, in Washington.
Washington, Sept 20. Accompanied
by his host, Mr. Bryan attended service
this morning at the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church. The announce
ment of this fact attracted to the
church a number of persons not accus
tomed to worship there, Mr. Bryan
was not a stranger to the members of
the New York Avenue church. During
his congressional career, and while
Rev. Wr. A. Bartlett was pastor, Mr.
Bryan was a fraquent attendant upon
his services. Today Mr. Bryan had a
seat In the pew occupied by President
Lincoln, who attended the church un
der the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Gurley.
Rev. Dr. Radcllffe, the pastor, had
no previous knowledge of the intended
presence of the presidential candidate,
was nl th slightest reference
in any part of the service to the pres
ent political struggle. In his prayer
the preacher asked that In this time
of commotion, the "Lord would be with
the people, and that the president
whom they might select would be one
of the Lord's r vn chosen, giving the
country "peace tnd honor.' "
At the close of the service, Mr. Bry
an went forward to the pulpit, as had
been his custom, and spoke a few words
to the preacher. Many of the congre
gation took advantage of the oppor
tunity to rress forward and pay their
respects. As he left the church there
was slight cheering by the crowd that
waited for his appearance.

him at Washington. The i:owmitten
consists of It chard K. Kenney, nation

Mr. Bryan that in order to keep
engagement at Dover it would be ne-cess.ir:-

ing Baltimore :tt .l!) tomorrow morn
ii'K. This ciUM'il ir. Ui.vaii to aban
don his plan to rest over night In
Washington, and to leave there at 10
o'clock.
This seeming lack oil consideration
for the physical comfort of the riimli
ilnte caused some criticism on the train
and Mr. Kenney. when questioned
about It, explained that the early ris
ing plan was necessary because an en
gagement for lilin to speak at Porteis
had been made and eonnection could
be made for tin', place only by fak
ing the 6.10 train out of Baltimore.
Mr. Kenney also said that a big ex
cursion was to go to Porters for which
liiu cxt'-u curs had been ordered, and
unless his plans were carried out a
great number of peoule would be dis
nppointed. Mr. Hrvun wanted the ex
tra sleep but bowed to the Inevitable.
VERY LIVELYPOLITICS.
I tab Republicans Com: to Blows Over
the Silver Question an J Pande
monium Temporarily Reigns.
Salt Lake.rtnh.8cpt. 20. Yesterday
was a day of conventions in this city,
no fewer than four being held, two
Republican, one Democratic, and one
Populist. The two latter were for the
nomination of county otllcers and Fuss
ed off tiletly. One of the Republican
conventions was to elect delegates to
the McKinley Republican state conven
tion to be held on Sept. S8 and the other
to elect delegutes to the silver Repub
lican convention. This gathering was
an exceeedlngly lively affair.
Thecominitteeou resolutions brought
In two reports. The majority recom
mended thut the delegates elected on
Friday by the Independent or third
wing of the Republicans, be chosen us
delegates to the silver Republican con
vention ami the minority report rec
ommended thut the convention proceed
to elect deb-gates In the usual number.
This precipitated u light on the adop
tion of the reiiorts and for a. while
pandemonium reigned.
Ardent silver men jumped on to the
platform and seizing a large portrait
of Major McKinley, which uilorned the
chairman's table, proceeded to tear It
to pieces. The McKinley followers
rushed to the rescue of the picture aud
a free light followed which the ser-geants-at-arms
were powerless to stop.
Finally some of the ring-leaders were
ejected from the hull and peace was re
stored. The minority report was adopt
ed by a large majority und the business
of electing delegates proceeded with
out interruption.

WKI.I. OKS1AN1ZF.D.
It Is Mr. Haima's opinion and In
this he Is supported by muny who
have in-own gray In the working of
political machinery that today the
Republican party has the strongest
and best national political organization
. ever formed In the United States, not
I excepting even the famous Tlldcn or
Igunixatlon of the centennial year. Illi
nois, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana,
Nebraska and Minnesota and the two
Dakotas are organized to the very
core, through what is known as the
township system, by which the state
eommlttee works In direct connection
with the county committee, the latter
j in turn with the township organiza
tion, this in turn with 'the ward com
mittee, and the latter with the pre
cinct board. Thus the state commit
tee, and through it the national com
mittee, has Its ringer, as It were, upon
the pulse of every voter already on the
side of patriotism and of every one
who has in him the making of a con
vert. A WOXDKRFL'L SYSTKM.
It Is a wonderful system, and yet
simplicity itself. To ipiote Mr. Hanna:
"This systematic organization is
about complete, und if organization is
of any use in elections, then we have
that much advantage over the Demo
crats. I honestly do not believe that
there were ever so many people ac
tively engaged in electing a president
as there are In the present Republican
cumpaign. My representatives show
that-tens of thousands of men, who
never before have taken any Interest
In politics beyond going to the polls,
are today wearing themselves out talk
ing for McKinley. distributing litera
ture or making polls of their business
places or residences. This remarkable
and extraordinary willingness to work
I regard as one of the most encourag
ing phases of the campaign."
Nebraska appears to have reached
the finest point in its method of town
ship organization. In a detailed state
ment rendered to headquarters, by
Chairman tleorge W. Post, It is shown
that every square mile of land In the
stHte has a Republican worker, whose
duty It is to look after the voters or
voter residing thereon. In some of the
prntre regions such worker has only
one man In his bailiwick, while others
have but four or Ave.
VOTERS MARSHALED.
In this way the state committee has
the voters marshaled almost as though
they were rounded up on a plain with
a general looking down upon them from
the heights. It has enabled, moreover,
a correct poll to be made, which shows
that McKinley will earry the state by
a safe majority. There remains a good
deal of silver sentiment in Omaha and
Lincoln, but it Is gradually yielding to
treatment.

NED CRANE KILLS HIMSELF.
In His Palmy Days He Was One of
the Star Pitchers.
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 20. Edward
N. Crane, who was In his day one of
the finest base ball pltohers In the
country, ended his life at Congress
Hall last nlirht. He had been drinking
heavily of late and became despond
ent. An empty chloral found on the
dresser this morning; tells the story,
Mr. Crane has for twelve years been
prominently identified with the na
tional game. He first sprang Into
prominence In 1887, when he pitched
phenomenal series and won Hie Inter
national championship for Torontow
He was eagerly sought after the
next year, aud went to New York for
a princely sum. He won the champion
ship of the world for the New Yorks
over the St. Louis Browns, the cham
pions of the American assocaton. He
duplcated his phenomenal work the
next year. Since that time he did some
steady playing- but for the past two
years his work has been ragged. Lat
year he was released by the Toronto
club and played the season out with
Rochester.
This year he began with Providence
and thn with Springfield, and was
then left In the lurch. He was encaged
as an umpire by President Powers, but
did not give satisfaction. Since that
time he was given to dissipation. His
body will be taken to Boston. Ho
leaves a wife nud two children. An
Inquest will be held tomorrow.
HOODLUMS HARRASS HIM.
Tlicy Rutbly Interrupt Mr. Powder'y at
ClcvdaaJ and Necessitate lbs in
tervention ol :hc Police.
Cleveland. O.. Sept. 20. A bitter po
litical battle was waged In Central
Army hall last night, where Torrence
V. Powderly addressed a Republican
meeting. Pandemonium broke loose
j when the chulrmati was Introduced and
j a crow d In the gullery made it almost
I impossible fur him to proceed with the
meeting.
i When he finally managed to Intro
duce Mr. Powderly the scene was inde
seribuble. The ex-lubor leader was plied
with the vilest epithets and for fully
five minutes such a racket was kept up
that it was impossible for Powderly t
begin. A riot seemed imminent. The
police were summoned and several pr
iests made. Finally, when Powderly
opened his speech a great many peo
ple evidently by a pre-arranged plan
left the hall in a body, making all the
noise they could, shouting, slandering
and hooting as they left.
When Powderly mentioned Bryan's
name there were cheers and hisses,
mingled with cheers for McKinley. In
the midst of the excitement, a Populist
leader named Howard Dennis climbed
on the stage and prepared to ask Pow
derly questions. The police were again
called and Dennis was taken off the
platform. Mr. Powderly then proceed
ed. IN AID OF DR. GALLAGHER.
Public Demonstration Arranged by
Irish Societies.
Philadelphia, Sept. 20. A number of
delegates from the various Irish soci
eties of Philadelphia met at Industrial
Art hall this afternoon for a public
demonstration in aid of Dr. Gallagher
and other recently released Irish pris
oners. There was a large representa
tion present.
Addresses were made by Patrick
O'Nell, James F. Lennon, Joseph Car
ten, of Sc ronton; Edward Mullally, vt
Washington, and several others. Near
ly all the speaker agreed that this
was not the time to dlscusss the wis
dom of the acts which placed the Irish
prisoners in England's grasp, nor tie
time to discuss means for Ireland's
advancement. It was time, however,
to do all that was possible to keep
these men from want and privation. A
committee was finally authorized to
secure the Academy of Music or some
other large hall for an early date. Ar
rangements are being made for a sim
ilar movement to be held in Pittsburg.
MEDAL OF HONOR LEGION.
What Will Scrnnton Do to F.nterlain
Its Members f
"What is Scranton going; to do to
entertain the members of the Medal of
Honor Legion when they meet in this
city early next summer?" Is a question
that is frequently asked.
As yet nothing has been done In the
way of organizing a committee to take
charge of the matter but the supposi
tion Is that steps will be taken In time
to enable Scranton to give a fitting re
ception to the men whose gallant deeds
have won for them the country's high
est recognition the medal of honor.
General Miles, who is now at the
head of the United States army, is the
president of the legion, whose mem
bership is made up of the most dis
tinguished soldiers in the country. In
honoring such men Scranton will but
honor herself.

HOW IT STARTED.
The scene of the affray was a dingy
three-Btory brick house, 612 Baker

Italian district. About midnight Spe.
olal Otllcers llamin and Baker, to
KOther with Policemen Sibert, Mitchell,
Thayer, Wapier, Phillips and Roney,
all attired In citizen's clothes, arrived
at the Baker street house with a war
rant for the arrest of Michael Wolfa,
charging him with selling liquor with
out a license and on Hunday. The
raiders, with a concerted rush, forced
the front door from its hinges. In
Fkle were a dozen frenzied men, armed
with hatchets, knives, coupling pins,
