one of the most carefully prepared he
has delivered this week and It was lis
tened to with the deepest Interest. The
visit of the school children was a beau
tiful Incident of the closing days of the
campaign. Three thousand boys march
ed in Hue. eucli carrying a small. Hug.
The siinall girls with their mothers clus
tered In dense groups about the hulls
and In all of the neighboring yards.
When the boys marched up they waved
their handkerchiefs and shouted: 'Hur
rah, hurrah, .Me Kinky is the man; I
can't vote, but daddy can." The air
was filled with the music of fresh
young Voices. The boys cheered lust
ily for several minutes and then three
small Ixiys, mounted the stand and told
Major Mckinley that all the boys were
for him and that it was the main re
gret of their lives .that they were not
old enough to vote. It wart dark iien
the children, after listening1 to Major
McKinley's pleusant, fatherly talk,

MR. IEPEV INTRODUCED.
At the conclusion of his remarks.
Major McKinley introduced Chauneey
M. Depew to the audience. Hundreds
of Cahtonians who had learned of Mr.
Depew's visit to the Republican candi
Inle had assembled at the McKinley
residence expecting a speech from the
widely known orator and the crowd
that surrounded the porch numbered a
thousand. As Mr. Depew stepped for
ward some on proposed "three cheers

with a great deal of vigor.
A few minutes after Mr. Depew fin
ished speaking a delegation of college
students from various parts of the
country marched Into the McKinley

gation and ftdwurd J. Henning for the
college league clubs. Responding to

ADDRESS TO THE STUDENTS.
In addressing the college students
Major McKinley said:
I am glad to be assured by your spokes
man that In the contest of this year in
which the nation's honor and the repub
lic's Integrity are Involved, the college men
not only of the east, but of the west,
teachers and pupils alike, are with us
in heart and purpose. I know, young
gentlemen, you are earnest Republicans
and appreciate most heartily your suport
of the Republican cause. If you were
not Republicans from convictions, how
ever, you were guided alone by enthusias
tic nnlnr I would say to you, in the
words of Webster: Study the constitution
of the Pnited States thoroughly; contrast
Its teachings with the doctrines of the
political parties of the day and vote with
the one you then believe wil do the most
for your country.
The Republican party can well afford
to submit to that teBt. It has never
shrunk from a severe test of the past and
has never suffered thereby. Hut In the
alignment of parties today and in the vital
questions at Issue between them it es
pecially and cheerfully invites com pari,
son and contrast. It has no aim but the
public good and the honor of the American
name and confidently submits Its Inten
tion not to a class or a section, but to the
whole American people. If L could give
the young men of the United States a
message that I would have them read
and heed it would be: "Stand up for
America; devote your life to Its cause;
love your own homes and provo as worthy
of our cherished free institutions as they
are wirtry of your allegiance and ser
vice.' I.i 1 rot ''ie 'iiah standard of na
lo"8i W,.icr. ied by the fathers, be
lnv rd by their sons. Let learning, lib
erty and law be suited and enthroned.
OVATION TO HARRISON.
Republicans of Muncie Display Inusna I
Enthusiasm Upon His Arrival
in the City.
Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 30. General
Harrison started on his second stump
ing tour of the state at 9 o'clock this
morning. During the day he stopped
at and addressed large crowds at
tiroenlield. Knlghtstown, Anderson,
Muncie, Winchester. Portland, Geneva.
Decatur and Fort Wayne.
.M uncle, 1ml., Ortt. 30. At Muncie,
where General Harrison's train arrived
at 12.U0, the streets were packed all
the way from the railroad to the court
house square. The announcement that
Harrison was to speak from the stand
at the court house, had drawn tegether
a great crowd of people who had taken
up positions near the stand and were
holding them during the morning until
he should come. With a foreknow
ledge of this condition of affairs, the
Democrats had biough Eugene Debs
to the steps. The Intention was to have
him speak from the same stand as Har
rison, but the Republicans guarded the
stand and would not permit him to
mount it. This ambuscade aroused the
wrath as well as the enthuslasm'of the
Republican and they were hardly ac
countable for the almost frenzied en
thusiasm they displayed for Harrison
upon his arrival. He was escorted
through the crowded streets to the
stand, where he found the big square
packed with people cheering themselves
hoarse. The ovation given him upon
his appearance lasted live minutes.
ESTIMATE OF RESULTS.

men to National ChairmanMo
Kialey'a Prospects Are Bright.
Chicago, Oct. 30. The Republican
national committee received more re
ports today from state committee chair
men, in response to the call sent out by

most conservative estimates of the re
sult, presidential, state and congres
sional. Following are extracts from
the reports:
California I have not the slightest
doubt we will win the electoral vote in
this state.
Colorado Bryan and Watson ticket will
pool six to ten thousand votes. Bryan
and St-wiill r..oiH; McKitlley 50,000.
Delaware Result as to presidential
electors doubtful.
North Dakota McKinley electors will
be elected by S.ikkI majority. Populists
and Democrats claim state by 3.0U0.
Oregon Confident Republicans will
curry state by 3,.'i"0.
Wyoming We will carry Wyoming for
our congressmen by 5.UU0 plurality and
justice of the supreme court by same.
The margin on electors too close and
changeable to make a close estimate.
Michigan Trend is all our way. I be
lieve we are safe for 3S.00D and we may
get -lu.liuu or W.miO.
Florida No doubt about Florida going
for Hryan.
Idaho Idaho's vote will be cast for
Bryan.
Iowa Complete poll Indicates 75,000 Re
publican plurality. Chances are It will
go above this.
Pennsylvania Pennsylvania will give
McKinley 25o,uuo plurality. Bryan will
get 4W,(XH) votes.
Minnesota The last poll shows a ma
jority for McKinley of 35,000.

ily and on private business, Consul

SENATOR TELLER
LOSES ALL HOPE
The Colorado Statesman Admits That
McKinley Will Win.
STATEMENT IN A PRIVATE LETTER
lie Sends a Communication to New
York City Conceding That There is
No Chnuce lor ilryauDenver Peo
ple Mailing Plans lor llusiuess En
terprises to Follow the Election of
McKiuley.
New York, Oct. 30. While Senator
Henry M. Teller is busy denying in Chi
cago that the bottom has dropped out
of the Hryan boom, lie has privately
admitted McKinley's election, and his
friends in Colorado are making plans
in regard to what they will do after
McKinley is elected.
The Senator's friends at home now
concede Hryan's defeat as a foregone
conclusion, and are preparing to launch
several Idg enterprises after McKin
ley's election.
These facts are brought out In a let
ter which was received a few days ago
by Edward M. F. Miller, a Wall street
broker.
The letter came from a personal busi
ness friend In Denver.
When Mr. Miller was asked about
the letter to-night he admitted its re
ceipt, but said it had been destroyed.
Mr. Miller was reluctant to discuss
its contents. He said, however, that
the following extract, which was shown
to him. was substantially correct.
"People in Denver are beginning to
reconcile themselves to McKinley's
election, and are looking about to see
what the conditions for prosperity will
be under his administration. They And
much of an encouraging nature, al
though the same people three months
since stoutly maintained that without
Bryan'a election Denver would go to
the dogs.
Denver was the hotbed of Bryanlsm
when the campaign opened. Then It
was hardly safe for a speaker to at
tempt the advocacy of sound money
principles.
Now, however, Mr. Miller's corres
pondent is only one of many Colorado
capitalists who are preparing to Invest
BEN'KT U. TELLER.
in several big enterprises on the
strength of McKinley's assured elec
tion. Mr. Miller declined either to verify
or deny thnt portion of the letter in
which Senator Teller Is said to have
admitted that Bryan would be defeat
'...7 . , 1. n.,ua
It was learned from other entires,
however, that the letter did contain
such an admission by the Colorado sen
ator. It further declared that Mr. Teller
had given up the middle west, conced
ing thnt McKinley would carry the
states in which the fight is now being
waged.
"POPS" GIVE FIGURES.
Election Day Probabilities as Viewed
From Their Standpoint Must Be Dis
couraging to All Other Parties.
Chicago, Oct. 30. The statement from
the Populist side as to election day
probabilities and expectations through
out the country was given tonight to
the United Associated Presses by
Chairman Washburn, of the Chicago
heudiiuurters:
In view of the fact that the people are
anxious to know what combinations of
states are likely to win, 1 have grouped
together several, any group of which is
liable to be the correct one In our elec
tion. It is conceded that the Democratic
gold defection was offset by the silver
Republicans, which leaves the normal
conditions of the two parties the same.
Then add to the Democratic vote the two
millions of Populist votes and it is ap
parent that Hryan must win. Fortunate
ly, the Populist vote is largest In states
In which it is most needed and while
Hryan cannot win without it, he is sure
to win with it and will get the full Popu
list vote.
In analysing the vote of the country I
have grouped as Bryan states the agri
cultural and mining states, wnere the
gold Democratic defections and floating
vote Is smallest, and where the success of
the ticket depends on the farmers, who
have been educated on the silver ques
tion through school house and alliance
meetings and who would feel insulted if
offered a price for their vote or were co
erced in any manner. Therefore, It Is
concerted that the 3t states west of the
Mississippi and south of the Ohio rivers,
representing 242 electoral votes 18 mo'e
than needed are the states 'which Bryan
is most likely to carry and the states
which are comparatively sure for Mc
Kinley are the New England states, to
gether with New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania, representing 81 electoral votes. The
doubtful states are the middle western.
Including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Ohio and Wisconsin, together with New
York, making 124 electoral votes. It is
apparent to any political student that
while Rrvan can be elected by half a
dozen different combinations, that on the
other hand McKinley must carry every
other state together with every one of the
central western doubtful states in order
to win. Therefore, he has one chance
where Bryan has six. While Bryan can
not win without the doubtful states, his
chances for carrying them are better
than McKinley and should he get tn?m
all it would prove to be a veritable Ixnd
sllde. Of the 31 Bryan states the most
doubtful are Iowa, Kentucky, Delaware
and Maryland. We can lose Iowa and
Delaware, or Kentucky and Delaware, or
Maryland and Delaware, and still win.
without carrying a single doubtful stale
In the middle west. "We can give McKin
ley all of the eastern and middle wer.tem
doubtful states together with Iowa, or
Kenturky, or Maryland and Delaware,
and then win. Or the doubtful states
Ohio is most likely to furnish the greatest
surprise. The sliver Republican vote will
be enormous. Our most conservative polls
and reports of Indiana, Illinois and Mich
Iran give these three states to Bryan.
Mw, concede the other three doubtful
states New York, Ohio and Wisconsin
to McKinley and We can afford to lose
Kentucky. Wyoming. Maryland, Dela
ware, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon,
West Virginia, Minnesota and Iowa, and
still win. Again, we can carry Indiana
and Michigan, which are sure for Hryan.
and loose Illinois, Ohio, New York and
Wiscoiisln, and in addition to all this give
them Kentucky. Maryland. I via ware,
North Dakota, West Virginia and Iowa
and all the eastern states and we will win.
There are several other combinations
which Include states naturally for Bryan,
and which la a like manner would enable
him to win.
"In Illinois Bryan will carry the state
outside t'hlcaKO by between thirty and
forty thousand majority. The uncertain
ty is Chicago, with its lm,wK unpluced
votes. If Uiyun carries the city he will
carry the state ami no combination can
beat him In the rest of the states.
SENATOR QUAY CONFIDENT.
Insists That Major McKinley Mill
Receive 270 Electoral Votes.
New York, Oct. SO. Senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania, left Republican national
headquarters this afternoon for Wash
ington and will thence go to his Jiome
in Heaver, Pu., where he will vote on
election day.
Senator Quay is confident of Major
McKinley's election. When seen today
he declined to make any statement in
regard to the number of electoral votes
McKinley would get.
"I have nothing further to say on the
subject," said Senator Quay with his
grave smile. He has already stated
that McKinley would get 270 electoral
votes.
BRYAN IS NOT AN A. P. A.
The Boy Orator's Statement Regarding
Society and Religious Affiliations.
Has No Objections to Free Schools.
Mndlson. Wis., Oct. SO. Mr. Bryan
to-night made the following statement
to the representatives of the United
Associated Presses, accompanying
him:
I have not attempted to answer all of
the misrepresentations which have been
circulated in this campaign, but in these
closing days I feel that it is necessary to
call your attention to nn attack which
was recently made by the enemy. I llnd
that the Republicans are circulating
among Catholic citizens the charge that
1 am or have been a member of the A. P.
A. 1 have also learned that 1 have been
ai-cused of being a member of a society
which I think is known as the Junior Or
der of American Mechanics. At the same
time I have been accused from other quar
ters of being opposed to the public school
system and of having voted against the
teachings of the Bnglish language in the
public schools of New Mexico. While I
have attempted to confine my discussion
of public Issues to the questions raised by
my platform and have considered the
money question as paramount to all oth
ers, I take this opportunity to explain my
position upon the religious controversy
which has been raised and ask the United
Associated Presses to givu tho matter
publicity.
1 am not and never have been a mem
ber of the American Protective associa
tion or of the Junior Order of American
Mechanics or of any other society hostile
to any church, religion or race, nor have
I ever applied for membership in any
such organisation. Wblle I am a member
of the Presbyterian church, I have al
ways believed that there should be no re
ligious test applied in the holding of pub
lic ohice and I have not allowed religious
differences to affect my oonduct in the
discharge of the duties of public otlice. I
am a believer in the public school system.
I attended public schools myself and my
children are now attending public school.
While I recognize the right of parents to
send their children to private schools and
colleges, if they so desire, I believe that
the free public school must remain a part
of our system of government In order that
means of education shall be within the
reach of every child in the land. The
Democratic members of congress who
voted against a proposed umendment to
the constitution of New Mexico which
compelled the teaching of English lan
guage In the public schools, not because
Democrats were opposed to public schools
or to the teaching of the Kngllsh lan
guage in such schools, but because they
did not deem It necessary or wise to re
quire a pledge from the people of New
Mexico which had not been required of
the people of tho other territories seek
ing admission. I trust that what I now
say may reach all of the voters, because
It Is the only opportunity I shall have of
meeting these mlsempresentatlons. I
trust that those who support the policies
set forth in the Democratic platform will
not allow themselves to be alienated from
my support by any affidavits which may
be circulated by political enemies. I have
tried so far a 1 could to conduct this
campaign in an open and honorable way
and have Insisted that those who are
with us should refrain from personal crit
icism of my opponent and leave the peo
ple to pass judgment upon the principles
which we represent.

longing to or in Charge or the Gov
ernment. Washington, Oct. 30. In reply to
rtatements In Governor' Altgeld'a
speech In Cooper union. New York, Oc
tober 17. in relation to the Debs riots
In Chicago, wherein he said that United
States troops were ordered to be in
readiness five days In advance of any
trouble, with a view to force employes
to work for their employers, a state
ment Is made, with the approval of
General Miles, who commanded the
United States forces on the occasion
in question, and with his endorsement
of its accuracy, as follows;
The hordes, or so-called armies of
Coxey, were orgunlzed in Kansas, Colo
rado, California, Oregon and other statea,
and swarmed across the country, in some
cases seizing trains for their transporta
tion and living upon the people of towns,
villages and communities in their route.
Followng this the employes of the North
ern Pacific struck and practically held
possession of that road when it was not
earning its running expenses. The same
thing was done on tho Great Northern,
the strikers holding possession of the
property for weeks, regardless of lane or
the rights of the propurty owners. Then
strikes occurred in nearly ail the coal
mines between, the Alleghenles and the
Rocky mountains. In many instances the
property was seized and unlawfully held
regardless of civil authorities. Following
this, In May, 1894. strike was ordored in
the Pullman works hi Chlrago, and when
that business was paralysed, a sympa
thetic strike was ordered on all the rail
roads, over which the Pullman cars moved.
This was In June and according to Gov
ernor Altgeld's own statement, published
In his Cooper Union speech, all freight
trains In certain portions of Illinois were
abandoned by the employes and prohibit
ed from moving by the strikers. Tialns
were ordered aide-tracked by tho hun
dreds, and the passengers were practical
ly held prisoners for weeks.
The lnter-state commerce of the entire
country west of Chicago was suspended
by the, end of June. A few maiV trains
were allowed to run, but In manv in

THE PRESIDENTS DL'TT.
This was the condition of affairs on the
last of June. Under the laws of congress
It was the duty of the president to protect
the lnter-state commerce, the mail routs,
the sub-treasury at Chicago, containing
twenty millions of government money,
and other United Statea property. When
the mall and lnter-state commerce lines
were obstructed and paralyzed it became
the duty of the United States court to take
action, which it did, although the lives of
Its marshals were threatened and they
were unable to carry out the lawful or
ders of the court.
It was then, and not till then, July 1,
that President Cleveland ordered fedirul
troops to protect United States marshals
In the lawful execution of their duties,
and also to protect property undr the
Jurisdiction of the United States authori
ties. At the same time the leaders public
ly declared that "it was no longer a strike,
but a rebellion." When the United States
marshals under the protection of the fed
eral troops had opened the lines of Inter
state oommerce and mail routes, and pro
tection had been obtained for the prop
erty under the jurisdiction of the United
States, the troops were removed tc thtlr
former stations, July 18. Henca they were
In Chicago only fifteen days, and did not
In any way Interfere with the municipal
or state authorities. The strike, however,
was not ordered off until two weeks later.
This demonstrates clearly that the fed
eral authorities had nothing whatever to
do with the so-called . strike. Neither
had they anything whatever to do wltU the
questions between capital and labor.
