But Democrats and Republi
cans Are Sure of Success
in Several States.
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.
