BIG VOTE IN THE
STATES OF INDIANA
AND ILLINOIS
The Electioo on Tuesday Will Result in
Mist Decisive Republican Plurality.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM EVERYWHERE
Chairman Hitch, of the Republican
State Central Committee ol Illinois
Give, McKinley' Majority, Not
Founded on ;uesse--Chcrring
Multitude tJive Evidence of Sue
com in the Hoosicr State Rousing
Finish of General Harrison's Cam
paign.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 1. Chairman
Hitch, of the Republican State Central
Committee, saltl last night that the
net vote in Illinois would be 950.000, niul
that outside of Cook county the poll
would be 3iU,0uu for McKinley, and 2.".7,
000 for the opposition. In Cook county
Mr. Hitch allowed McKinley 240,01)0 and
Bryan 114.000. The total for the State
are, therefore, 571,000 for McKinley and
271,000 for Bryan, or a majority of 200.
U00 for McKinley. Mr. Hitch further
said:
"The election on Tuesday will Rive
to McKinley and the Republican Slate
ticket the most decisive plurality ever
known In Illinois. This positive de
claration is not founded upon guess
work or mere conjecture. It la deliber
ate conclusion from facts in possession
of the committee which show the re
lative standing of the opposing parties
in the 2.22S precincts in the State at
lurge and the 1,020 precincts of Cook
county.
THE POLL MADE WITH CAKE.
"The poll has been taken with ex
traordinary care, the Committee on Or
ganization having done Its work sys
tematically, so as to be advised of all
changes of conditions from time to
time. The work from these headquar
ters would have availed little but for
this Intelligent and active co-operation.
These county and precinct com
mittees have been in close alliance with
the State headquarters, and we know
that they are not deceived as to the
situation. They have repeatedly can
vassed the same territory and revised
the poll in every case.
"John R. Tanner will be elected by
the largest majority ever given for a
Governor in this State. We will re
turn a united licnuhllcan delegation to
the lower House of Congress and secure
the Legislature, which elects a suc
cessor to Senator John M. Palmer."
Chairman Hintichsen. of the Popo-
cratic state 'committee, says Palmer
nnd Bucknor will not receive more
than 7.000 votes in Illinois. As to the
general situation in the state, he said
to me tonight:
'We have more votes In the city of
Chicago than the Republicans, and I
look for a majority In this city. The
Mate outside is overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic and making every allowance
for doubtful voters and surplus en
thusiasm, I feel that we shall carry this
state for the whole ticket by 25,000 or
30,000 plurality. We will elect fourteen
of the twenty-two congressmen with
out question, and may elect sixteen.
We will elect a majority of the assem
bly, while the Republicans will control
the senate owing to the large number of
holdovers. The Populists will hold the
balance of power In the joint assembly,
which insures the election of a silver
United States senator to succeed Pal
mer. "Governoil Altgeld will lead the ticket
In Chicago and in the laboring centers
outside. Bryan will probably run
ahead in the agricultural districts.
FEELS SURE OF ILLINOIS.
"Bryan's tour of the state and his
speeches in Chicago have aided the fu
sion ticket materially. From every
county in the state we are receiving
advices of Democratic gains over the
last poll taken. In some voting pre
cints in agricultural districts the vote
for Bryan will be almost unanimous.
I feel that In Illinois we cannot be
beaten.
"There Is complete fusion with the
people's party on the state ticket since
the withdrawal of Watson, and the fu
sion on presidential electors is on the
basis of four Popuiists to twenty Dem
ocrats. Fusion has been accomplished
In all congressional distrlsts except the
Twentieth, and this has fusion on the
legislative candidates In half the dis
tricts, wherever it wns considered nec
essary to Insure election."
CINCHING INDIANA.
Rousing Finish of General Harrison's
Briiliaot Campaign in the
State.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 1. General
Harrison began his last day of talking
to the people of Indiana at Auburn at
half-past nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing. About three thousand people gather
ed, and half of them carried transpar
encies. He was heartily cheered and
began his address with a beautiful
tribute to the American flag, speaking
about twenty minutes, and addressing
himself almost entirely to the political
questions.
A run of five miles brought the train
to Waterloo, where an enthusiastic
crowd of twenty-five hundred were
waiting, composed largely of farmers.
General Harrison was taken to a stand
and talked for about twenty minutes,
enlarging upon the effects free silver
would have in ruining the farmers'
market and the industries of the coun
try. Another brief run brought the party
to Kendallville, where a crowd of about
5.000 surrounded a stand erected a few
yards from the stution. General Har
rison was escorted to the stand by the
Reception Committee, who had board
ed the train at Waterloo, and was re
ceived with prolonged cheering. He
was introduced by A. J. Graves, and
spoke about fifteen minutes.
At Liglonier the arrival of the train
was greeted with loud cheering from
the crowd of about 4,000 people about
the stand. General Harrison was re
ceived with enthusiastic cheering, and
talked about fifteen, minutes, declaring
that the victory was already won. The
Bryan people were basing their hopes
of success, he said, upon two proposi
tions', one that the farmers were fooled
with the notion that free coinage would
help them to get something for nothing,
and the other that the workingmen in
tended to go to the polls and vote di
rectly against what they have been de
claring they Intended to do.
Goshen was reached at one o'clock,
nnd ri-re a crowd of fully 20,000 was
, not. r o. 'rtv.t preparations had
' i i u'! lor II. event IV the Repub
;:. :: i managers, und when the train ar
rived they were Just finishing a pa
fade, with Mmethkna; over 6,000 men In
line. An elaborately decorated stand
had been erected at the Court House
square, and thither General Harrison
and party were taken in carriages, es
corted by a section of the parade
through the streets, crowded with
cheering multitudes. The former pres
ident received a great ovation when
he appeared upon the stand.
General Harrison spoke for nearly an
hour, making a thorough review of the
issues, and his speech was received
with the greatest enthusiasm.
HAS FAITH IN THE PEOPLE.
Cardinal Gibbons' Touches on the
Political Situation.
Baltimore, Nov. 1. Cardinal Gibbons
touched upon the political situation In
his speech at the Cathedral this morn
ing. "I hold that the American peo
ple," he said, "are fudamentally a re
ligious people and possess In an emi
nent degree the natural virtues which
are the basis of a supernatural life.
They are endowed with a high order of
intelligence. They are brave, generous
and courageous. They have a sense of
justice and fair play and have gener
ally the courage of their convictions.
Above all. they are law-abiding.
"We are on the eve of a presidential
election, both great parties contending
lor the mastery. They are leaving no
stone unturned In order to be success
ful. A foreigner looking on and wit
nessing the violent denunciation that
one party is uttering uiialnst another.
and the terrible predictions In regard j
ioo me rutuiv or me country it me
other party Were to win, would think
that we were on the verge of a dread
ful revolution.
"On next Wednesday he would find
that it was but a bloodies revolution;
one effected not by bullets, but by bal
lots. A num Is to be chosen to the
highest position In the gift of his fel
lowmen, and Important Issues arc ut
stake. On next Wednesday morning
the minority will bow gracefully to
the will of the majority, the country
will survive and the nation will flour
ish and be perpetuated. Is this not
good evidence that we are subject to
the laws. And the people that bow to
the civil law are not the. kind to reject
the divine Invv.
'Tlie Catholic church adupts Itself
to all kinds of men and all systems
of government. She holds that ull dif
ferences between labor and capital are
suicidal. While she Is In sympathy
with the tolling masses, she knows
how to curb their prejudices. In all
times of political excitement her power
for good is potent, and she says to all,
'peace, be still.' "
HANNA WAS POPULAR.
Greatly Admired by His Assistants in
the National HeadquartersChicago
Campaign Bureaus Closed.
Chicago, Nov, 1. National head
quarters of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties were almost deserted
to-day. There wus no business of Im
portance to transact, members of the
campaign committees and heads of de
partments having either gone home to
vote or were preparing to leave thr
headquarter;! until after the decisive
day, and were at their desks for n
short time only In the afternoon, while
few visitors from outside Chicago
strayed In to tell the political news or
be Informed before going to tholr
homes to vote. .
Chairman Hannn will remain at his
post here until to-morrow evening,
when he will depart for Cleveland and
receive the returns there. Wednesday

and then to New York, to return here
early next week, and wind up the
strictly business affairs of the head

ployes called to bid him good by last

sented his photographic portrait and
autograph. Mr. Hunna has made a
popular chairman.
Secretary Walsh, of the Democratic
committee, is still absent In Iowa,
whither he accompanied Mr. Bryan,
but he will return to headquarters to
morrow. Campaign Committeeman
Johnson, of Knnsns, does not consider
his State is in ruch doubt as to make
his vote necessary, and will remain
here until he knows the news. Cam
paign Chairman Campau went home
to Detroit yesterday to vote and put
the finishing touches on Michigan. Sun

publican ticket will be triumphant by
more than 325 votes In the electoral col

LAST DAYS OF THE
BRYAN CAMPAIGN
Preparing to Make a Flying Trip Through
Nebraska.
WILL MAKE FINAL SPEECHES TODAY
The lioy Orator Arrives at His Home
in Lincoln. Nebraska, and Sleeps
Through the Day--IIappy Reunion
of the ilryan Faniily.-Telcgram to
Chairman Jones.
Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 1. A long sleep
this afternoon and a longer one to
night was William J. Bryan's way of
preparing for his Hying trip through
Nebrask4 to-morrow. The unprece
dented campaign of the candidate
practically ended this morning, when
he stepped from his private car, "Id
ler," furnished by the Democratic Na
tional Committee, in the Burlington
stution here. He and Mrs. Bryan spent
last night in Council Bluffs and rode
over to Omaha this morning on an
electric car to take the 8.30 train for
Lincoln, to which the "Idler" was at
tached. About 200 people were wait
ing for Mr. Bryan here. They gale
him u suppressed Sunday morning
cheer, and many shook hands with him
us he walked smilingly to the carriage
In waiting. There was a joyous scene,
of course, at the Bryan residence, when
the three children of the candidate
welcomed their father and mother.
Mr. Bryan was tired, and went to bed
soon after reaching home. He slept
until supper time, and retired again
early to-night to secure a good rest for
to-morrow's journey. His own State
of Nebraska was selected by Mr. Bryan
for the final rally of tne sliver forces.
The confidence he had felt that he
would carry the State was the reason
for not making a tour within its boun
daries earlier In the campaign. It wus
the same with regard to Kansas, but
I hut State and bis nwn are the only
two previously in the Republican
column, with the exception of those
West of here, where the free silver
sentiment Is considered the strongest,
that was neglected in his fight for
Democratic victory. The long and hard
working campaign Mr. Bryan has pur
sued began with his departure from
Chicago on July 13, the Monday follow
ing his nomination. From that time
tri this he has been on the go, barring
three weeks spent In Lincoln prior to
his departure for New York City to be
formally notified of his selection as the
Democratic standard bearer, and a
week in the quiet surroundings of Up
per Red Hook.
THE ORATOR'S TRAVELS.
He went ns far north as Duluth,
Minn., and as far south as Memphis,
Tenn., while the Atlantic coast was
covered from North Carolina to Maine.
How many miles Mr. Bryan will huve
traveled when he returns to Lincoln
again Tuesday morning, after his Ne
braska roundup, has not been accur
ately computed, but seme oil those w ho
accompanied him Intend to give out the
correct figures by a careful study of
railroad maps and tables of distances.
Seventeen thousand miles Is an ap
proximate estimate. The Democratic
candidate visited twenty-seven states
and also made a speech in the District
of Columbia.
Mr. Bryan will leo'e Lincoln on the
"Idler" by a special train at 6.45 o'clock
and is due in Omaha at six In the even
ing. Mr. Bryan tonight sent the following
dispatch to Senator Jones:
Hon. J. K. Jones, Chairman Democratic
National Committee, Chicago:
I suggest that you urge ull members of
silver clubs throughout the United States
to give the entire day Tuesday if pos
sible to our cause. In states where the
bolting Democrats have been allowed to
use the parly name. It will be necessary
for our people to warn voters of the de
ception Hinl at nil polling places they will
be useful to meet the misrepresentations
which may be circulated too late to be
arrested by our speakers or through the
press. The gold sndieates und trusts
are hunting for existence nnd we must
be prepared to meet them at every point.
W. J. Bryan.
BISHOP KEANE HONORED.
Will lie Appointed a Titular Arch
bihop by the Pope.
London, Nov. 1. A dispatch from
Rome to the Central News says that the
Pope will raise the diocese of Buffalo,
N. Y., to a tnetroplUtan see with Juris
diction over Rochester, Syracuse and
Ebnira.
His Holiness today received Cardinal
Satolll, late papal delegate to the United
States, who recently returned to Rome.
The Pope. It Is said, will appoint
Biahop Keane a titular archbishop.
The Daily News will to-morrow pub
lish a dispatch from Rome saying that
Cardinal Satolll made a lengthy report
to the Pope regarding the situation
In the United States, especially the
political situation. Although the Car
linal considers that Mr. McKlnley's
success is certain he apprehends the
consequences, which, if they are 'not!
immediately grave, will be so at the
next election, when the present dif
ferences will be augmented.
DELAWARE NOT DOUBTFUL.
Hugh ('. Browne Says the State Mill
Give Mckinley 1,500 Majority.
Wilmington. Del., Nov. 1 Hugh C.
Browne, chairman of the Republican
state committee, this afternoon tele
graphed the United Associated Presses
as follows:
"The reports that Delaware Is doubt
ful for McKinley are without founda
tion. It is untrue that, because Mr.
Addicks lay down, the Republican Vote
was not qualified.
"It was never better qualified by pay
ment of poll taxes and full registration
than this year.- Mr. Addicks' organiza
tion did not qualify the vote. That wus
done by the regular Republicans, who
are In excellent shape. The assertion
that the financial condition of Mr. Ad
dicks had anything to do with qualify
ing the vote. Is not true. We undertook
and completed the work. Delaware will
surely give McKinley 1,000 majority,
barring treachery."
CRASH ON THE PENNSY.
One Man Killed and Another fieri
onsly Wonnded.
West Chester, Pa., Nov. 1. The sec
ond section of the day express on the
Pennsylvania railroad, four hours late,
crashed Into the rear end of a freight
train at Whitford, at 9 o'clock last
night, killing one man and seriously
wounding another. The caboose. In
which was John Clark, a drover, of
Pleasant, Ohio, was smashed into
splinters. Clark was fearfully man
gled and when taken out was dead.
His body was conveyed to Downlngton.
The conductor, brakeman and flag
man of the freight were all quite ser
iously Injured and were removed to the
hospital at Philadelphia. Except a
damaged locomotive and a badly shak
en up lot of passengers the passenger
train was none the worse for the collision.
BLIZZARD APPROACHES.
Ilearv Snowfall in Dakota and
Wisconsin.
Huron, S. D., Nov. 1. Friday's wind
and snow storm was more severe over
the northern and western portion of the
state than was first supposed. Many
ranchmen on the upper Missouri and
Cheyenne river ranges will suffer heavy
losses of cattle, the storm being very
heavy in those sections. Snow is re
ported from twelve to fifteen inches
deep and badly drifted. No telegraphic
communications from here west to
Pierre has been had since Thursday
evening and it is feared stock In the
foot hills and on the Sioux reservation
suffered greatly.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 1. A genuine
blizzard prevailed throughout the west
ern and central sections of the state
yesterday. Snow began to fall early in
the morning. Heavy falls are reported
from Watertown, Grand Rapids, Maus
ton. Beaver Dam, Chilton, Juneau,
Horlcon and a number of other points.
INDIANA'S MAJORITY.
The Re publicau Plurality May Reach
Sixty Thousand.
Indianapolis, Nov. 1. Chairman
Gowdy, of the Republican state com
mittee this afternoon furnished the fol
lowing signed statement:
"A conservative estimate of the slttt
ntiott at this time, shows that Indiana
will give a Republican plurality of not
less than 2fi,000, and if as we have rea
son to believe a large per cent, of silent
voting Is cast for the Republican tlclcet,
the plurality may reach 60,000. The
Republicans will elect all of the thir
teen congressmen and a Republican to
lie United States senate to succeed
. nlel W. Voorhees."
DEFENCE OF SEAPORTS.
General Cralghlll Saya That in Another
Year the Country Will Be One-fifth
Prepared to Resist Attacks.
Washington, Nov. I. Under the head
of fortifications in his annual report
General Cralghlll, Chief of Engineers,
says that detailed projects have been
approved for the artillery defence of
Portland, Me.; Portsmouth, N. H.; Bos
ton, Narrugansett Bay, eastern en
trance to Long Island Sound (partial).
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Hampton Roads, Wil
mington, N. C; Charleston, Savannah,
Key West, Pensacola, Mobile, New Or
leans, Galveston, San Diego, San Fran
cisco, mouth of Columbia River and
I'll get Sound. In addition partial pro
jects have been approved for the de
fence of the lake ports, Cumberland
Sound, Kennebec, New Bedford, Pen
obscot Itiver, New Haven and New
London. Complete projects for the de
fence of these places are under con
sideration, and also for Port Roval, S.
C. nnd Tortugas, Fla.
During the year there have been nego
tiations for the purchase of sites at
Charleston, Baltimore, Narragansctt
Bay and Portland, Me, At several
points where fortifications are urgently
desired nothing can be done, because tho
land has not yet been acquired. The
appropriation of $.",00,000 made by the
last congress for the purchase of sites
has been pledged, and to continue the
work an appropriation of the same
amount for next year Is requestetd.
General Craighill urgently recommends
an appropriation of $100,000 for the
preservation and repair of fortifica
tions, saying that, as a result of the
failure of congress to make proper pro
vision in the past for their care, the
ungarrisoned fortifications and reser
vations are now In a deplorable state,
with the perishable portions almost
worthless, and the heavy masonry
work slowly being destroyed.
He says that the work of prepalring
emplacements for guns has been push
ed with much vigor where the money
was available, particularly Bt New
York, Delaware River and Charleston.
The first consideration was to provide
for the needs of the seaports for which
projects are approved, so as to protect
as many as practicable against isolat
ed cruiser attacks. Of guns of large
calibre there are a total of 616, and of
mortars 1,072, for which emplacements
will have to be constructed, and of
these congress has provided for 19 per
cent, of the guns and 15 per cent, of
the mortars. These figures, says Gen
eral Craighill, show approximately
what will be the condition of the coun
try at the end of 1S97 to resist attacks
on the coasts by a first-class power
as judged by expert opinion that is,
as regards coast defence the country
in another year will be about one-fifth
prepared.
Kentucky Urntlemen Meet.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 1. A desperate
fight took plnee yesterduy on a train

CHANGES IN DOUBTFUL STATES.
The changes made by Mr. Hanna In
his tables since Oct. 24 are Interesting.
Then he counted Kansas and Washing
ton, with 14 votes, as safe Republican
states. Now they are put down as only
probably Republican. On the other
hand. Tennessee and North Carolina,
with 23 votes, have been taken from the
doubtful column and put In the list o(
states certain to be carried by McKin
ley and Hobart. Idaho, Louisiana,
Montana and Utah, with 17 votes, have
also been shifted from the doubtful col
umn to that of states certain to be car
lied by Bryan. Mr. Hanna says:
"I am confident that the strength of
McKinley and Hobart In the electoral
college as a result of next Tuesday's
election will not be less than 311 votes.
This estimate is made upon figures just,
received from chairmen of state com
mittees, the result of final polls taken
in such a careful manner as to give
them the highest credence."
