THE CONTEST IS ACTIVE Senator Hanna Declares Himself as Being Positive That Ohio Will Elect Nash Governor. W. J. Bryan Predicts That Nebraska Will be Carried By The Fusionists by a Good Majority—Foraker Scored By Jones—Sherman Opposed to En forced Annexation. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 30. —In regard to ;he coming election. William J. Bryan lays: "We shall certainly carry Ne- Draska. I feel confident of it.l see :he Republicans claim this State, but :hey should make all their boasts be fore the election. The Fusionlst party is united here and is carrying on a most active campaign. We have tried to believe the issue close, and I be lieve that the new question as to weather this shall remain a republic or became a belligerent empire has aroused them greatly. "I cannot say as to the approximate majority in Nebraska, but I think it will be substantial. Poynter, the present Governor, carried the State last year by only 3,700 and I believe th.at we shall make good increase over thht.' Sullivan for Supreme Justice carried it by 7,000 in 1897, and my own majority in the Presidential race of 1896 was 13,000. "The imperialistic issue will gain votes for the Democrats everywhere. So far as my observation has extend ed at my own meetings m Ohio, lowa and Kentucky, the people are very' earnest and attentive, and I believe that they are studying with the great est seriousness the important subjects now at issue." Orlando Teft, Chairman of the P.e publlcan State Committee, said: "The Republican party is in position to win this year, and I am confident of cuccess. We are relying on the good times to carry us to victory." Hanna Sure of Ohio. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 30. —Senator Hanna. in discussing the political out look in the Buckeye State says:"ln many respects the forthcoming elec tion will be most important. The out come of this year's contest in the President's own State will be regard ed as a forerunner to the big cam paign of 1900, and for this reason alone I believe the voters, a great ma jority of whom are in hearty accord with President McKinley's Adminis tration, will not vote to discredit it." "You ask about the probable ma jority. I cannot say anything on this, because it would be in the nature of n guesß. "I know this, however, or at least I believe I know, that Judge Nash and the Republican ticket will be triumph antly elected." Hot Fight in Maryland. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 30. —The final week of the campaign promises to be a most lively one. In the city both parties are working hard for the in dependent vote. The publication of the address of the Committee of Forty of the Oold Democracy declaring for the Republican State ticket was a bombshell for the Democrats, but they have succeeded in securing the names of nearly every one of the presidents of local trust companies, and have published favorable letters from a number of influential independent Democrats, Including the President of the Reform League. Chairman Shryock, of the Republi can Committee, said: "Our party is in first-class shape in the city and county. There were dif ferences and some splits in a number of cases, but these have now all been adjusted, and the party machinery is working smoothly. In the city we shall poll practically the entire Inde pendent vote. This will elect Mr. Lowndes in November, as It did four years ago." Mr. John Walter Smith, the Demo cratic nominee, says: "I see no reason to change my opin ion that I will be elected. On the con trary I expect a larger majority than I at first hoped for." Mayor Jones Tackles Foraker. Toledo, Oct. 30. —Mayor Jones has given out an interview, replying to Sejjator Joseph B. Foraker, who re cently said in a Columbus speech that Jones represented nobody but him self. Said Mayor Jones, in reply: "It Is evident that Senator Foraker's conception of government is that it should be a government of Dosses. I wonder how the people who signed my petition will like his ill-tempered slur that I represent only myself. If I am elected Governor I will be ab solutely free of promises, of any kind, and will make appointments on the merit system without regard to party affiliations. "Senator Foraker knows that before a candidate can secure a nomination from any of the parties he is owned t-niil ami body by the party bosses. II ■ knows that the special privileges of Cincinnati are farmed out as a re ward for party service. I have by every honorable means tried to get Messrs. Nash and McLean to debate these issues and have failed, but I would be pleased to have Senator For aker take the place of either of them. 1 will divide my time with him from now until election." What's the Matter With America Republicanism. The events of the past forenight in South Africa have spoiled the criticisms of the faultfinders in re gard to the conduct of the war by the Mclvinley administration. Brit ish losses in Africa in this forenight have been as great as the American losses in Cuba and the Phillippines in an entire year of fighting.
