WawhinKton. Oct. 6. The Republican
Nuliunal committee him accomplished a
wonderful work olnce it pitched Its tent
in the Windy City. Old campaigners
uy that nuch a superb purty organiza
tion was never seen before. The doubt
ful states have all been polled tw or
three times, and with a fair Idea of the
situation thus derived the Republicans
make bold to claim the election, and
buck up their claims by offering betting
odds.

UNCERTAINTY IN MICHIGAN.
The Republican managers have little
doubt of carrying Wyoming, Oregon,
mill Washington. They admit the un
certainty of the state of Michigan, but
National Committeeman Durbtn, who
has been especially commissioned to
look after that state, says that the lie
publicans had a hard tight there, and
hud the election been held a month ago
would have lost the state, but that
now he feels confident of carrying it.
The Republicans are more hopeful of
success in Nebraska than in Kansas.
California, they are willing to concede.
Is extremely doubtful.
There will be no rainbow chasing in
the southern states this year, notwith
standing the rumored designs on Tex
us, Louisiana, Alabama, and North
Carolina, attributed to Senator Quay.
One of the best informed of the Ke-
nublican managers today, who went
over the situation carefully, admitted
that the Republicans had no hopes ol
carrying any of the southern states,
except Kentucky, and that they re
graded as absolutely certain.
WISCONSIN CONCEDED TO RE
PUBLICANS. A month ago the Democrats were
confidently claiming Wisconsin, and
the Republicans thought it was doubt
ful. But after a close survey of the
situation they withdrew all of their
campaign efforts from that territory,
and since that time have sent no ora
tors into the state, and distributed no
literature there. The local leaders In
the Badger state assured the National
committee that there was no doubt
whatever concerning Wisconsin, and
urged 'the committee to send their lit
erature and orators elsewhere that
they might do some good. National
Committeeman Henry C. Payne is pre
pared to wager on Wisconsin giving
the Republican ticket 40.000. Private
ly the Democrats concede that they
have no hope of carrying Wisconsin,
and very little hope of carrying Iowa.
The Republican committee announced
today that It was ready to give odds
on Iowa, giving McKlnley iii.oOO.
The situation In Minnesota, Republi
cans say, has brightened up wonder
fully in the last three weeks, although
the Republicans do not feel sufficiently
assured to place it In the column of
McKlnley states. The Democrats have
made some stiff claims on Minnesota,
based upon the alleged defection of the
Swedish voters, who are usually Re
publicans, but who, It Is asserted, are
this year enamored of free silver. Sec
retary of State Berg, a popular repre
sentative of the Swedish Republican
vote in Minnesota, was here a day or
so ago and claimed that the state would
give fiO.000 Republican majority, but
the national Republican managers re
fuse to accept any such rosy claims, as
accurate, and will keep up their fight
until the eve of the election, on the
theory that Minnesota is a doubtful
state.
WYOMING MAY BE FOR M'KINLEY
Wyoming is one of the alleged doubt
ful states, in which the Republicans
have been doing efficient work lately,
and which they are now led to believe
they will carry. Senator Warren was
here Saturday, and dined with the
members of the Republican National
Executive committee. He went over
the field in detail, and told the man
agers that he believed the state would
be carried for McKlnley. A month ago
the outlook was not very favorable.
When Congressman Hartman was here
a few days ago, he expressed the opin
ion that Wyoming was the only doubt
ful state west of the Missouri river.
He conceded that the Republicans
would carry Wisconsin and Iowa, and
that it was useless for the Democrats
to make any light in these states. He
intimated that he thought the chances
for Republican success In Wyoming
were good, for the reason that the state
had no large mining interests like
Idaho. Montana, Colorado, and other
neighboring localities,
HOPING TO CARRY OREGON.
In spite of the optimistic view which
Congressman Hartman took of the oth
er Western states, the Republicans
have not given up the idea of carrying
Oregon, and have received some en
couraging news from the local leaders
there In the past week. No discourag
ing letters have come to the committee
from Republicans there. Another
"straw" from which the Republicans
take courage Is the fact that one of the
leading sporting characters of Port
land, who has won a reputation through
that region for "calling the turn" on
elections, and whose "tip" on results
passes current In sporting circles, is
wagering all his money on Oregon giv
ing its electoral vote to McKlnley, This
man Smith, whose rert In Portland la
widely known, has wagered already
$30,000 on McKlnley, and is taking alt
offer.
The Republicans arc not In the least
discouraged over the Democratic de-
signs on the state of Ohio. When the
subject was mentioned at the h;d
qarters today, William H. Hahn J
thoriaed the statement that he was
ready to wager any amount ot money
that Ohio would give McKlnley 60,000.
STATE COLLEQE COUNCIL
Governor Hastings Presides at V'ni
versity Meeting.
Harrlsburg, Oct. 6. Governor Hast
ings presided at a meeting of the state
college and university council this af
ternoon. A report on entrance require
ments for colleges was presented and a
minimum standard was adopted. The
council considered the preliminary
draft of the biennial report to be sub
mitted to the legislature. It will lie a
comprehensive report. Legislation is
recommended requiring approval by
the council before any changes can be
made in the names, location or govern
ing body of existing institutions. The
purpose of this legislation Is to prevent
abuses such as were practiced by cer
tain notorious medical colleges In Phil
adelphia, w hich sold degrees. Legisla
tion is also recommended with a view
to elevating the common school sys
tem. The report reviews post graduate
and original work done at our higher
Institutions and states the number of
students who have gone to college from
the state normal schools. There has
been an encouraging growth In the col
leges during the last quarter of a cen
tury. A committee on legislation was
appointed, consisting of Chancellor
Holland, of the Western University;
Provost Harrison, of the University of
Pennsylvania: Attorney General Mc
cormick and the superintendent of
public Instructions.
FLORIDA ELECTIONS.
People Are Dissatisfied with the Aus
traliao Ballot Law and a Very
Light Vote Is Cast.
Jacksonville. Flu.. Oct. fi.-Tlie elec
tion in Florida tuduy passed off quiet
ly, but the meagre returns so far re
ceived Indicate that u very light Vole
nui cast. Tile election wus held under
the Austrullnii ballot law and reports
show that Dctiiociuts. Republicans aud
Populist alike ure ilissiitlslled with it.
only very meagre returns are being
received, as the count Is exceedingly
slow, owing to the length of the bul
lot. otlblul returns will not be in until
tomorrow or next day, but estimates
tonight place the Democratic majority
at not over 2V,UUU, and It may fall con
siderably below that figure. There
were three complete suite tickets In the
Held Democrats. Republican and Pop
ulist and the Prohibitionists had a
candidate for governor. It was the
first time the Republicans had a ticket
in the Held since 184a. The lightness of
the vote Is attributed to the new elec
tion law and to the recent storm which
swept the state.
The Republicans will probably have
four und perhaps six members of the
legislature out of u total of one hun
dred. This legislature elects a succes
sor to I'nited States Senator Cull, and
It is not likely that he will be returned,
although a sliver Democrat will un
doubtedly be chosen. - '
GEORGE FRED DECLINES.
Will Not Accept the Moininiition for
Governor of Mussacliusctt.
Boston. Mass., Oct. 6. Hon.
George Fred Williams today noti
fied the secretary of slate, Olln,
that he would not accept the nomina
tion for governor made by the Fanueil
hall convention. Tills convention was
composed of the leaders of the regular
Democratic party, who declared that
they were unable to gain entrance to
Music Hall, where the Democratic state
convention was advertised to be held.
The question as to the legality of the
Fanueil hall and Music hull conven
tions will be heard by the ballot com
missioners tomorrow. In his letter Mr.
Williams declared the Faneuil hall
gathering was not a Democratic con
vention and had no authority to certify
his uoniinutlon for governor. Mr. Will
iams' name will not bo withdrawn,
however, as he did not fill out the speci
fied form of withdrawal. Hud he tilled
out the blank, the fact would have in
volved an admission that the Faneuil
hall meeting was really the "Demo
cratic convention."

Makes the I'snal Plea lor the Cioltl
and Silver Coinage ol' the Con
stitution. Seymour. Ind., Oct. 6. The Bryan
meeting at New Albany this morning
held a decided silver tince, four gray
horses drew the carriage that drew Mr.
Bryan from the station, where his
special train arrived at 8.10 through
Silver Btreet, to Silver Grove, the
place of the meeting, a few blocks dis
tant. An audience unusually large for
the hour of morning, was assembled
there. It numbered between BOO and
1,000, who were assembled around the
sides of a natural amphitheatre, in the
centre of which Mr. Bryan spoke. Fif
teen white roses, representing the fif
teen electoral votes of Indiana, were
presented to Mr. Bryun by the lady
clerks of the New Albany postofllce.
Mr. Bryan referred to the present in
his remarks. He said:
Mr. t'hairiiiuu. Luilles und Otitlemen:
From the manner in which you have ui
plailded the sentiment that there was not
enough money, I imagine thut there urn
very rew In l tits uudienee who ure ularnied
at any prospect of a flood of money.
tOlieersl. It Is one thing tliul hus excited
my sympathy to find occasionally the man
who hud never hud too much money in
all his life. Hoiiietimes u mun, not able
to pay his debts, even in llfty-ceiM dollurs
Uuynter und cheersl, u man who dues not
know where his provisions are coinint;
from next winter, is treuihlliiK In his bouts
for fear that under free eoiiiuge there will
be such u loud of money that he will lie
overwhelmed. (Applause!. My friends,
e are preaching a doctrine which we be
lieve to be sound, and thut doctrine is this
thai the only wuy to slop falling prices Is
to increase the umoiint of money to bj
exchuiiKcd for properly.
Iii conclusion he said:
I believe that If the people lire allowed
to vote US they pleuse, we will succeed,
and more tliun that, 1 believe that they
will sluihlv increase the number of our
votes, because men will insist thut If a
men bus good arguments und he will ap
peul to tile reason and that is an evldenc"
that he has no ease when he uttempt to
use force to buck up his position. (Cheers).
GREKTKI) WITH GOI,DKN ROD.
It was raining when Mr. itryan
reached Sellersburg at 9 o'clock. Hats
of golden hue were conspicuous among
the crowd of a thousund there, and u
number of people wore bunches of gol
den rod.
Mr. Bryan asked how many In the
crowd believed the gold slandurd was
a good thing and up went a score or
more of hands. "Quite a number," he
added. "Now, I want you people who
raise up your hands to tell me why did
not the Republican party pledge itself
to get rid of the gold standard and
substitute bimetallism as soon as for
eign nations will help us to do It," (This
caused loud cheering.)
"Now, you men who held up your
hands and said you thought a gold
standard Is a good thing. If the Repub
lican party thought so, why did not It
have the courage to say so and not de
clare that bimetallism is better than
the gold standard? (Cheers followed
by query).
A dozen or two held up their hands
and said the gold standard is a good
thing.
"Now. hold up some gold, some of
you, who said the gold standard was
a good thing. (Cheers of a wild char
acter). Let me see your gold." I'p
went a hand, and in it was a gold coin.
Mr. Bryan nodded and said one man
out of those not exceeding two dozen
who held up their hands had gold.
"It is not even 16 to 1, my friends. (Ap
plause and laughter). You take 16
men who believe In a gold standard
nnd there will be not more than one of
them that has any gold, the standard
that he said was good. We want a
standard that furnishes the kind of
money we want. We do not want to
praise one kind of money and never get
a chance to see It. We do not want
money so scarce that few financiers can
corner that money and then dole It out
at such a price as they will. A few
men can corner It at any time. Mr. Mc
Klnley said five years ago that when
you discriminate against sliver you
make money the master, and all things
else the servants. Those who want
money to be the master can vote for
the Republican ticket and all the rest
of you can loin with ub to restore the
gold and silvet coinage of the constitu
tion." (Great cheering).
All along the route to Indianapolis
the demonstrations were repeated. At
Seymour four or five thousand people
heard Mr. Bryan, a throng between
8.000 and 10.000 was at Columbus. Edln
bttrg turned out 3.000 and Franklin
nearly. If not quite, 5,000. Indianapolis
was reached at 1.15 and Mr. Bryan was
given a hearty reception along the
streets through which he passed to the
Grand hotel. '
SPEECH AT SEYMOUR.
Indianapolis, Oct. 6. In the course of
his speech to the crowd at Seymour,
Mr. Bryan said:
The vote from the west has usually been
Republican. This year the- people out
west-are solid on the mney question anil
no one doubts what the result Is going to
be there. (Cheersl. I want to cull your
attention here In Indiana to a portion of
a message sent to congress by .Mr. Harri
son when he was president In 1MH. Let
me reud you what he says about the effect
of legislation on silver. You will remem
ber thut this was Just after the passage
of the Sherman law. It was signed by
President Harrison, und after Its passage
the price of silver rose to $1.11 per ounce,
(in the first of December, of thut year.
President Harrison sent his message to
congress and In that messuge you will
find these words:
"The enlargement of our currency by
the silver undoubtedly gave uu upward
tendency to trude and hud a marked ef
fect on prices, but this natural und desired
effect of the silver legislation was by
many erroneously attlrbuted to the turlff
act."
My friends, principles do not change with
euch passing year and a truth spoken six
years ugo remains the truth, ulthough the
man who spuke It may be sorry that ho
ever spoke the truth und may be deter
mined never to do so aguin. (Cheers).
ATTENTION TO BYNUM.
At Columbus, among other things,
Mr. Bryan said:
You will remember that there was once
a member of congress from this slute
named William L. Bynum. Let me reud
to you what Mr. Bynum suld in regard to
the gold stunilard in lm. I quote 4 mm
the Congressional Record:
"It In because of the shrinkage of values,
as well as the detriment to labor thut 1
raise my voice and utter a protest una Inst
a Crusade which has been In the past so
persistently waged In the Hat money In
terests." -V.
My friends, we still wage this warfare
against the money Interests, although Mr.
Bynum has gone to the other side.
(Cheers). The people of the west are In
debt, their farms, their homes, nod In
many instances their beds are mortgaged.
They tutve been paying an exorbitant In
terest to the east until thev die Imnovm-.
lined. The prices' of their product hn
fallen, their lands have shrunk In value
until they begin to stagger under the
welKht of their burden.
My friends, those farmers are In worse
condition today than they were when Mr.
Bynum so eloquently pleaded their cause
and we shall still plead their cause, I
don't care how many turn their backs
upon them and turn oppressor. Instead of
leader. (Great applause).
Great crowds witnessed Mr. Bryan's
passage through the streets here to his
hotel. At the Grand hotel there was
a big fjsh and the throng cheered the
nominee enthusiastically. After lunch
eop he went to the state house, where
he delivered an address.
DANF0RTH ISENCOURAGED.
Kspects to Carry New York lor Bryan

New York, Oct. 6. The meeting of
the Democratic, county chairmen ot the
state this afternoon lasted two hours.
About forty of the county chairmen
were present and those who could not

Chairman Danforth. at the conclu
sion of the reading of the reports, ex
pr -sed his gratification at the bright
ounook for the Democratic purty in the

"I am much encouraged." said Mr.
Danforth. "ut the reports 1 have
heard, if the county chuirmen are cor
rect." suld he, "we will curry New

Fierce Battles at Loma Spanish Troops
Dislodge the Rebels After a Fight
of Five Hours.
Havana. Oct. 6. Lieutenant-Colonel
Orenudos reports that shortly after his
cidui'iu left Pluur del Rio city that he
found ul Giimu und Cautubria a Span
ish column surrounded by H.OOO rebels
whu had been sent by Maceo to utluck
the Spaniards. Lieutenunt-Cololiel
Grunudos made a vigorous attack upon
the enemy, who lired twelve cannon
shots ut close range. A prompt re
treat to Cuiitabria saved Grunudos'
fommjtml, as well us the Spanish
troops, which hud been surrounded.
The Spanish forces were united at
Cuntubrla and In the ' meantime the
rebels had taken positions at Loma,
The united Spanish forces made an at
tack upon he rebels, who were dis
lodged from their positions after a fight
lusting 'five hours. The rebels lost
eighty killed and a large number
wounded. The Spaniards had twelve
killed and ninety-two wounded, In
cluding four otllcers. Lieutenant-Colonel
Granudos had started to march
back to Plnur del Rio when at 3 p. m.
he heard cannonading on the other
side of the hills. The rebels occupied
good and extensive positions. The bat
tle began at 9 o'clock In the morning.
The enemy made a stubborn defense,
but were finally dislodged with a loss
of one hundred killed. It Is said that
when they retired they carried away
two hundred wounded. The Spanish
losses were: Lieutenant Colonel Ro
mero and General Rental's adjutant,
killed; Lieutenant Colonel Chattel and
eight other olllcers wounded; eighteen
privates killed and sixty-live wounded.
FIREMEN AT JOHNSTOWN.
Scrnnton's Xante Will .Not lie Pre
sentcd for the Next Convention.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Johnstown. Pa., Oct. 6. The streets
of Johnstown present a lively appear
ance, the occasion being the seven
teenth annual convention of the State
Firemen's association. The greatest
disappointment was that all saloons
close at JO o'clock sharp. During the
whole night caucuses were held in the
different headquarters and this morn
ing after some close figuring it was de
cided not to present the name of Scran
ton. That Scranton would have won
easily was apparent had the false ar
ticles appearing in the Scranton pa
pers not been used throughout the
stale by some unscrupulous persons at
the session. This afternoon Isudore
Goodman was nominated for vice-president
and will receive the support of
the entire Wllkes-Barre delegation. As
there are five other candidates besides
him and only four to be elected some
great hustling will have to be done this
evening. The banquet takes place this
evening and It is expected it will eclipse
any ever held in honor of the state as
sociation. The Scranton party are well
cared for at the Capital hotel.
Tomorrow mornins the vole Is to be
taken, but will not create any great
excitement as the only contest is that
for vice-president. I'nder the circum
stances it was decided to not present
Scranton for the next convention.
NO ARBITRATION YEl.
Great Britain Has No Time to Con-
sider the Venezuelan Question.
London.Oct. 6. Information has been
furnished to the United Associated
Presses that no communications have
passed between Great Britain and the
t'nlted States on the subject of arbi
tration In over a month. Important
developments In connection with Vene
zuela, however, will probably occur
within the month of October. A settle
ment of the Venezuela dispute Is by no
means Imminent and It is not true, as
has been alleged, that Great Britain
is making concessions to Venezuela.
Much depends upon Mr. Chamberlain,
secretary of state for the colonies, who
sailed from New York for England on
September H0, though his desires In the
matter are subject to the approval of
Lord Salisbury. The hitter, the foreign
office otliciuls say, Is hopeful that the
arbitration question will be soon solved,
but he is at present very much occu
pied with the eustern question.

LESSON OF THE BLAST FURNACE
The Champion ol Protection Points
Out the Causes of CxiABtjg Condi
tions--Srntimrut ia Favor ol' Plenty
ol Work; Good Times, iiood Wages
anjl Good Money.
Canton. O., Oct. 6. A delegation of
enthusiastic Republicans from Kast
Brady, in the Democratic county of
Clarion, Pa., came In the rain to call
on Major McKlnley this morning. The
spokesman, N. E. Graham, said that
there were thirty-one furnaces In the
county under the McKlnley law and
not one of them In Must. Some of the
men In the delegation bore banners in
scribed: "IMiitocruts from Clarion
county." The delegation was made up
of miners, farmers and workingmen.
Major McKlnley addressed it as fol
lows: Your spokesman tells us that In your
county thirty-one blast furnuces have been
stopped. What does that mean? It means
that wages have been stopped. It means
thut labor bus Is-en unemployed. It meuns
that comforts have been taken away from
hundreds or American homes which they
hud previously enjoyed. Jt means dis
tress, und what is true of this county,1
has been substantially true possibly not
to so laixw u deKree of other counties of
your stule and throughout tha entire
country. -Now, what we want to do,
whether we urn railroad men, or farmers,
or professional men, or mechanics, or la
boring men, Is .to get back to a policy
that will give us u chance, to increase our
iimniH'ttcturing, Improve or home market,
extend our foreign market, and give em
ployment every day In the year to every
wurkliiKinun who wants work. Itliva.1
cheering and cries of "Thai's whut we
want.")
If we will but follow the lamp of exper
ience and follow the direction which the
IlKhl of that lamp leads us, on the third
day of November will vote down the pol
icies which have brought us these condi
tions und vote to continue u monetary
system built upon a solid basis, which
will give us the best money In the world,
a money which panics cannot disturb und
business failure cannot depreciate, (Tre
mendous cheering and cries of "Pennsyl
vania will vote that way.") We want good
times, plenty of work, good wages and
good money. (Applause and cries of
"That's the stun".") How will you vote?
(Cries of "For .McKlnley, followed by great
cheering.")
Rain fell steadily through the after
noun today and Major McKlnley had
to welcome the visiting delegations at
the Tabernacle. A delegation of nlne-ty-five
lumbermen from Buffalo and
Tonawanda arrived on a special train
at 3 o'clock.
We represent one hundred and fifty
Arms, engHKcd in the lumber business and
our delega tlon is composed of almost equal
number of Democrat and Republicans,
sum tne spokesman, M. s. Barnes, to Ma
jor McKlnley, und what is more we
handled a thousund million feet of lumber
annually prior to the enactment of the
present revenue laws, worth 130,ullO,OUO.
TO THE LUMBERMEN.
Major McKlnley was vigorously and
repeatedly cheered when he arose to
speak. He said In part;
This Is a year, as you spokesman has
well said, that party ties are nut strong
enough to hold any patriot within H who
believes that his party has ceased to rep
resent the highest and best interests of
our glorious republic. (Applause). I do
not think we appreciate the great indus
try which you represent ujid of which you
are a part one of the greatest In the
country". In 1KD0 the lake trade in lumber
ut Buffalo was over .'IHi'.imo.imd feat, and at
Tonawanda. over 717.1SW.IKH feet. (Ap
plauce). Though, under the lumber pro
visions of the present tariff taw the trade
of Buffalo has since decreased until, ill
18!t., It was M.0),UM feet less than in 1890,
while thut of Tonawanda has shrunk In
the same time more than 2!,,nuil,fl00 feet.
Canadian free lumber has been encouraged
at the expense of the. lumber interests of
the great state of New York ind all the
other lumber stales of thi American
Union. I may be pardoned, gentlemen, If
I say In this presence that I believe in
the policy that gives preference to Buf
falo and Tonawanda rather than to Mon.
treal and Toronto. (Tremendous cheers).
Like all the other featuria of free trade
It has helped to make us poor for the ad
vantage of other people living In another
jurisdiction and who owe no allegiance to
our Hag. (Renewed cheering).
Did yoot ever reflect how it would help
the prices of real estate und of buildings
to have all values unsettled and the. valid
ity of contracts thrown Into Jeopardy?
The history of the world prove that real
estate suffers most severely in every pe
riod of financial distress and of all prop
erty It recovers the slowest. The triumph
of sound money und protection at the
polls in November will, in my Judgment,
restore confidence anil thereby help every
species of business and when that is doll"
your business will share in the general
advancement and prollt by the general
prosperity. (Great applause).
In the evening the Syracuse Repub
lican escort, bearing colored flambeaux,
and followed by the delegation from
that city and by all of the uniformed
campaign clubs of Canton, marched up
to Major McKlnley's residence and
were received by him. The visitors
were cordially applauded along the
line of march, and they made the most
effective night parade that has been
witnessed here.
Among Major McKlnley's callers to
day was A. M. Higgins, president of
the Republican League clubs, of Indi
ana, Mr. Hlgglns told Major McKln
ley that Indiana would give him a plur
ality exceeding 15,000. Mark Hannu. Is
expected here tomorrow afternoon.
