DRAWING TO A CLOSE
Last Fortnight of the Cam
paign Will be Vigorous.
TREMENDOUS GAINS NOW SHOWN
Anarchistic Statements of the Opposition
and the False Tales They Are
Circulating.
Cuicagg, Oct. IS. Special to Tiik
ChbonicleJ With increased yigor the
closing fortnight in the campaign was
entered upon at the Republican national
headquarters today. The leaders were
very much encouraged by telegrams
from almost every city in the country
confirming their estimate of 302 elec
toral votes certain for McKinley and
Hobart, given to the press through yes
terday morning's papers." A number of
telegrams have- been ' received from
states thai were heretofore regarded as
somewhat 'doubtful, assuring the com
mittee of their electoral votes, and every
element of doubt that might have en
tered into the doubtful statement mak
ing up the 302 electoral votes, was esti
mated by the telegrams and assurances
received. The reports indicated in
every instance great encouragement, re
newed efforts and splendid progress.
The reports from the Pacific slope Btates
were especially gratifying. Tbey showed
that rapid pains have been made since
the speakers sent by. the Republican
national committee invaded ' that field.
Reports from' states south of the Ohio
river which have formerly gfven their
votes to the Democratic national ticket
are equally encouraging and assure Mc
Kinley and Hobart the electoral votes of
West Virginia, Kentucky and probably
North Carolina and Tennessee with
more than an even chance in Missouri.
There is great activity today among
Illinois Republicans and sound money
Democrats in preparations for Illinois
day at Canton. All indications point to
an enormous outpouring of the people
from this state on Wednesday. One es
pecially interesting feature is the large
proportion of Democrats who will be
there. . .
Reports received today from western
and some southern btates indicate great
dissatisfaction among the Popnlists from
the treatment that has' been accorded
Thomas . Watson in urging h'lB retire
ment from the national Populist ticket
There is evidence tbat the genuine Pop
ulists will not support McKinley and
Hobart. Reports have been received
from central and some' southern stated
indicating an increased determination
on the part of sound money Democrats
to secure the defect of Bryan, and their
column is steadily growing in volume
and activity. '
Something of a sensation was created
at Republican national headquarters
this afternoon by the receipt of a publi
cation now being circulated in pamphlet
form as from the South Omaha (Neb.)
Daily. Sun, of 1st and 3d insts, -which
supports Bryan and attacking the indi
vidual members of General Alger's party
of old soldiers. The article refers to the
generals "As a carload of old bummers j
called generals now touring the country
at the expense .of Hanna, telling the
people how to vote, designating them as :
.'skunks' and 'those hired pups styling
themselves generals who have sold every
atom of " manhood they possess,' " and
again as "Simply a lot of old run-down-at-the-heel
bummers' living Off' the peo
ple," etc. Information .has been re-
ceived that throughout the west another
article is being circulated in the form of
a letter written by. Samuel T. Presaily,
of Boston, alleging 1 that Mr.' Hanna
stated to him that if McKinley is
. elected '"the standing army will be in
creased about 250,000 men, that .strikes
and riots will -be suppressed-by armed

Chicago, Oct. 19. Wheat made a record-breaking
.jump today. December
option, which closed Saturday at 75
79Jc, steadying at the latter, figure, an
advance of 3c. The wildest excitemen c
characterized the trading. There was
talk of possible failures. After a. mo
mentary reaction to 79c. December
wheat soon went beyond the top figures,
touching 79 several times within the
first 15 minutes of business. Just before
10 a. m.. the market took a sudden
plunge downward to 784, reacting later
to 78c. :
Shortly after 10 the price receded to
7Sc, then within a few minutes it ad
vanced a full cent. During the frenzy
at the opening a few trades were made
as high as 79c, while sales at the same
moment in other parts of the pit were at
different figures, ranging all the way to
78c. '

Stray Notice.
Wheat's Jump Causes Much Comment
in New York.
New Yobk, Oct. 19. Wheat made a 1
perpendicular advance of , 4,V cetita a
bushel following the stupendous jump
of 6 cents at Liverpool, and the general
speculative excitement throughout the
whole of Europe. , The bull movement
was accompanied by immense local ex
citement and heavy -trading during the
first few minutes. Buying orders, of
course, predominated. Eve.n the bulls'
were amazed at the enormous advance,
which has riot been equaled in years.
At noon the tremendous strain of ex
citement in wheat exhausted itself and
the price fell off a cent a bushel through
the cessation of the strong demand which
had been a feature of the morning. The
fact that late cables wert a ehade easier
contributed not a little to the reaction.
It, was estimated up to 1 o'clock that
over 12,000,000 bushel9 had been traded
in. There have been many entire days
the past month when the sales did not
average over 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 bushels.
