CHICAGO, Nov. 6. The following state
ment was given out at the headquarters
of too Republican National Committee:
"There are few surface indications at
this time dissimilar to those of four
years ago, when McKinley swept this
country by the greatest majority ever
given to a Presidential candidate? The
work of tho Republicans during the past
four weeks has been marvelously effect-
lve. It has been marked everywhere by
completeness in detail of machinery, har
monious action and desired results. In
the history of the party no better organ
ization has ever existed. McKinley will
carry every state which voted for McKin
ley and Hobart four years ago, and cer
tainly seven or eight others that voted
for Bryan in 1S96. The alleged hopes of
Croker and Bryan as to carrying Indiana
and New Tork are rimply following out
the programme of claiming everything In
sight for the purpose of encouraging their
followers in close states to make the most
desperate efforts for success. The claims
of the Republicans are based upon the
result of actual work reported by men
In the field, brought up through precinct,
ward, township, city, county and state
organizations, and upon actual facts as
shown by the closest vote-poll ever made
by any organization."
for Governor, Is at his home in Newburgh.
He will receive returns at his home, and
will not return here until Wednesday.
Before leaving he said that he had. noth
ing to add to his statement that McKln
led would carry New Trk State by 100,000,
Greater New York Included.
There was very little betting done to
night on the election. The odds dropped
to to 1 on McKinley toward the latter
part of the evening, and remained there.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM MARYLAKD.
Republican nnd Democratic- Chair
men Confident Of Success.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 6 The leaders of
both political parties profess to be con
fident of victory, and both sides are claim
ing the state by pronounced majorities.
Before leaving for nis nome in iiarx
ford County tonight Chairman Murray
Vandlver, of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, said:
"I have no hesitancy in claiming that
we will carry the state by from 5000 to
10,000 majority, and that both city and
county will contribute to that end. "Wo
will not only carry the state for Bryan,
but will elect four Congressmen sure, and
it would not surprise me In the least if
Major Little should defeat Pearre In the
Sixth District."
Secretary W. F. Porter, of the City
Democratic Committee, supplemented Mr.
Vandlver's statement by adding:
"We have made a careful poll of the
city by men experienced in the work; who
made polls in the two previous campaigns.
I have the utmost confidence In the ac
curacy of this latest pll, and will soy
that the outlook Is bright, and that the
city will go Democratic by -a. substantial
majority. I will not give any figures but
am confident of a favorable result."
Chairman Goldboro, of the Republican
State Committee, said today that he
looked for even a larger majority than
11.000, which he gave last night as his
estimate, and insisted that Maryland's
Congressional delegation will be entirely
Republican.

they will carry the county, they have no

which have not been polled by them.

Chairman Jones' Statement.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5. Chairman James K.
Jones; of the Democratlo National Gom
jnlttoe, gave out the following outlook
on the eve of election: ,. ,,
"T have ho doubt that the result of the
ballot tomorrow will bo tho triumphant
eectiqn of Bryan, and Stertepson. The
Democratic party has appealed In this
campaign to the reason and conscience of
the people, while tne Republicans have
appealed to passion and prejudice. In the
great forum jof public opinion, x nave no
doubt the Democratic party has won in
this, the greatest of its JNational political
struggles. Four years ago the Democratic
Twu-rv was deficient In organization.
whereas now it Is perfectly organized and
more efficient than It has been in any
campaign. The National Committee has
been in touch with every part of the
country and Is familiar with all the de
tails of the work. While the campaign
fund has not been enriched by. the con
tributions of great trusts, it has received
the patriotic mites of the great working
classes in sufficient quantity to defray
the expenses of the campaign, which is
more satisfactory than If it had been
otherwise. The country Is now aroused
as it has never been before since i.ne
treat Civil War, and the result can be
nothing less than tho triumphant election
of tbe National Democratic ticket,"
SITUATION IN THE EMPIRE STATE.
Republicans Have Wo Donbt of Car
rying Nevr Torlc.
NETW TORK, Nov. S. The most Inter
esting development In New Tork on the
eve of election is in the Indictment found
by tho local crand Jury against Chief of
Police W. S. Devery, "on the charge of In
terfering with the work of Superintendent
of State Elections McCullagh. Chief
Devery's ball was fixed and arrange
ments were made for hearing the case
the day after election. The Indictment
has creaetd a great deal of excitement
In political circles. The points involved
appear to hinge on the representation of
men who swear in tnear votes wnen cnui
lenged by any deputies of the State Su
perintendent of Elections. The legal as
pects of tho case are interesting to Repub
licans and Democrats alike, for it is feared
that a clash may occur at tho polls to
morrow between the 800 policemen and the
800 deputies. At the political headquar
ters, at the office of the Chief of Police
and at the Democratic Club, the con
census of opinion seemed to be that tho
election would prove a quiet one, despite
the differences of opinion between the
Chief of Police and the State Superin
tendent.
Everywhere confidence is expressed that
a full vote will be polled and Republlcans
and Democrats alike agree that more
than 600,000 citizens in Greater New Tork.
will vote tomorrow. Indications are that
the. vote of the city will be at least 65.000
larger than ever before In the history of
Greater Now Tork.
Generally speaking Republicans concede
that Bryan will carry Greater New Tork.
On the other hand Democrats admit that
McKinley -will carry the state. If Greater
New Tork is excluded. The differences
of opinion arise on the question of the
nluralitles of the Democrats In the me
tropolis, and oftthe Republicans in the up
state districts. Richard Croker claims
that Bryan will carry Greater Now Tork
by between 80,000 and 90.000. As a gen
eral thlnr. Republican leaders will not
admit that the borough of Manhattan will
be carried for Bryan by more than 30.000
plurality. Both sides claim the borough
of Brooklyn, the Republicans by 12,000 and
tho Democrats by 8000. The population in
the boroughs of the Bronx. Queens and
Richmond is relatively smalL Democrats
and Republicans claim all three boroughs,
but the Democrats usually carry Queens
and Richmond. As to the Bronx, the
Increase In population, owing to the up
town movement, has been so great tnat
all estimates are worthless, the popula
tion In some districts havtair doubled. It
wlM probably give a decisive majority
either way.
Democrats are Inclined to concede the
state outside ot Greater New Tork to Mc
Kinley by 5A000. This Is 100.000 less than
the Republicans allow McKinley In the
i'same territory.
Chairman Odell. Republican, candidate
Republicans Claim the State
Five Thousand Plurality.
OMAHA, Nov. 6. Tho Republican State
Committee is still claiming the state by
6000 plurality for McKinley, but this is
placed against tho positive assertion by
L Chairman Hall, of the Democratic com-
nnttee, that Bryan will receive a plurality,
of at least 12,000. Republicans generally

publican, will be elected over Governor
Poynter, Populist, "and Chairman Ldndsey
declares that the Legislature Is safe for
the Republicans. On the other hand.
Chairman Hall says that the whole state
ticket will not run behind Bryan, and
that the Legislature Is positively fusion.
In the Congressional districts, the hon
ors will bo divided, In all probability.

It Was Put Out Yesterday, and Is the' Usual Appeal to
Class Hatred.
Hopeless of winning; the Presidency by fairness and honesty, tbe
Bryanltes have resorted to their favorite ally, the roorback. The first
one made Its appearance yesterday, and -was stealthily left at the
homes of worklngmen. It Is a yellow-colored dodger entitled, "A Few
Words to Worklngmen." It makes the prediction that the Supreme
Court of the United States wi 11 decide that "all the peoples of the ac
quired Islands are full American citizens," and that "the Republican
party proposes to make these many millions of brown men your ab
solute political equals in all respects." Here we have a characteris
tic example of Bryanlte duplicity. How can any one say In advance
what the Supreme Court of the United States, as at present consti
tuted, will decide on any question? If the Bryanltes had control of
the Government, such a thin g would be possible, for thy have vi
ciously attacked the Integrity of the Supreme Court, and are pledged
to pack It with creatures that con be depended upon to do their
bidding. From the very beginning of the campaign Bryan and the
Bryanltes have most emphatically declared that It is the purpose of
the Republican party to enslave the Filipinos, the Hawallans and
'the Porto RIcans. Now they say with equal empliaslB that the Re
publicans are-going to make free men of them. Worklngmen of Ore
gon: Let not these appeals to class hatred affect your vote for
President today. Tou well know that If there was any merit in
them the Democracy would not keep them until the last moment and
then leave them on your door steps in the dead of night. These
"words to worklngmen" prove the desperation of the Bryanltes. The
little yellow dodger is only the beginning. As you approach the
polls today you will probably see on telegraph poles, dead walls and
fences, posters containing fake Indorsements of Bryan by leading
laborers and agriculturists. Some idle fellow may hand you a
dodger like "A Few Words to Worklngmen," containing other will
ful misrepresentations of Republican policy. It your attention should
be called to these posters, or If a "ward striker should pass one of
these dodgers Into your hand, ask the cause of this sudden champlon-

Voting. Never have the plans of cam
paign managers in this state been more
comprehensive or iaia wiin greater cue,
and no Presidential campaign since that
of Blaine and Cleveland in 1884 has been
fought out with greater energy in this
state than the one that has Just closed.
Bdth Democratic and Republican manag
ers have made many preparations against
unlawful action at the polls by their op
ponents, but there has been less talk
of such things this year than in prior
campaigns. The chances axe that there
will be no more fraudulent voting than
occurs at every city election.
A very full vote will be polled in the
state at large, and especially in Chicago
and Cook County. The fight here has
been of the warmest description, and
every effort will be mode to bring tha
full voting strength of both parties into
the field. The Republicans in particular
are elated at the prospect of fine weather
tomorrow, and say It means their sure
success. The Democratic managers de
clare that the weather will njake no dif
ference, and that, rain or shine, the elec
tion is certain to result in a sweeping
Democratic triumph.

and that it is a cry raised by the Bryanltes to obscure the real Issue.
The thing that concerns you Is the dollar your receive for your day's
labor, the dollar that you pay out for the support of your family.
If McKinley is elected, you will have the silver dollar that Is worth

If Bryan is elected, you will h ave a silver dollar that will be worth

LOUISVILLE. Nov. 5. A campaign that

both sides claiming the state in published
reports by 20,000, though disinterested re
ports put the majority either way about
6000 to 8003 The Republicans made the
issue and named it civil liberty, which

the Independent Democrats, who, in the
last election, cast 12,140 votes for John
Toung Brown for Governor., has indorsed
Terkes, Republican, for Governor, and
Bryan. The Democrats claim that the
bulk of the independents have returned
to the party, It is generally believed that
Bryan will run ahead of Beckham, Dem
ocrat, for Governor, and that Terkea will
run ahead of McKinley, whether the
Democrats or Republicans carry the state.

to elect Congressman M. C. Dockery as
Governor by 30,000 or more, and of giv
ing Bryan a majority of 40 000 to 60,000.
The Republicans are equally boastful.
Many are of the opinion that the counting
of the ballots Tuesday night will find Mc
Kinley with a slight mijo-ity over Bryan,
and Railroad Commissioner Joseph Flory
entitled to take his seat in the Governor's
chair. Others not as sanguine of success
as their fellows console themselves with

bers of both parties that tomorrow's vote
will show surprising changes.

no change in the political situation In

years ago vote tomorrow, the state will
go for Bryan. Thejincrease in registrar.
larger. There is no doubt that the great
er percentage of the stay-at-home vole
in June is Republican. At the opening
of the campaign the appearances were
that we would lose the largest portion
of the Sound-money Democratic vote that
went for McKinley in 1896. This has
changed so that we are now confident of
more than making up for such loss from
farmers, mechanics and stockmen that
voted for Bryan In 18S6. The Prohibition
ote will be larger than is generally sup
posed, which, of course. Is mostly Re
publican. This, however, will be largely
offset by the Social Democratic and regu
lar People's tickets, which will draw
mostly from the Democratic ranks. In
the final alignment of parties we will
get the full gold and prosperity vote,
and Bryan the calamity vote. The peo
ple of Oregon have had unbounded pros
perity in the past four years, and they
will demonstrate by their votes tomor
row that they want four years more of it.
The good times have extended into every
section of the state and have affected
every industry and occupation In which
our people engage. xue Bc"i."i.
throughout the state is that we are en
tering upon an era of vast agricultural,
commercial and industrial development,
and that it would be folly to arrest this
healthy growth by accepting the fallacies

This apparently closed the controversy
that has been going on between Mr.
McCullagh and the police for some time.
A minor incident that figured In the
controversy was a request made by the
police officials for Superintendent of Elec
tions McCullagh to turn over to them any
Information in his possession tending to
show that the eleotlon laws were being
violated In sections of the city where ho
claimed wrong-doing was going on. Mr.
McCullagh, however, declined to answer
the Police Commissioners, but tonight ha
announced that he had unoarlhed a big
scheme to bring repeaters into the Bor
ough of Manhattan on election day from'
Jersey City, and that one of the men,
Peter Frl8nd, a saloon-keeper In Jersey
City, had been arrested and was being
held at the Jersey CUty police headquar
ters in default of S1000 ball.
In all quarters -e opinion is expressed
that the election tomorrow in New Tork
City will be a quiet one, and that no seri
ous clash will occur between the police
and the state deputies, because of the
misunderstanding growing out of Chief
Devery's order of last Sunday night, in
which he declared that the rights of
citizens to vote will be protected, regard
less of Interference en the part of Super
intendent McCullagh.
Chief Devery, Just before leaving his
office for the night, said:
"Tomorrow's election will be the fairest
ever held In New Tork City. I will do all
that lies In my power to see that tb5i
end Is accomplished."
