( Special. ) Chairman Orlando Tcftt of the republican state qentral commlttco this afternoon gave out the fol lowing Interview : "Advlcce Indicate thnt the otato will bo republican by from G.OOO to 10,000 majorltj. Our opponents have done everything possible to secure the election of their candidates , but I think it Is perfectly safe to assume that the stnto IB safely republican. "I am ndvtscd from reports throughout the etate that on account cf the prosperity which 1 * everywhere manifest , contrary to the predictions which have confidently been made by Mr. Uryan. the drift of sentiment is unquestionably toward the republican party. The reports that come to three head quarters from nil over the state of changes to the republican party of thoie who have been Impressed by the failure of Mr. llrajn's predictions In the past , and by the unex ampled prosperity of the nation , are good indications thnt the entire ticket will bo elected. These change * nrc reported from every locality. The west with Ha great cattle Interests was never more prosperous. Every one Is at work thnt wants work and wages are good and the Indications arc strong that the people can no longer be deluded b > np- peal to their discontent and the shrieks of calamity bowlers. "Since Bryan has taken up the campaign In his own Interests It has assumed , to quite an extent , a national character. The fusionIsts - Ists have done all that Is possible and Mr. Ilrjan Is feverishly engaged In going about the state speaking from railroad trains and making desperate efforts to secure the elec tion of ex-Governor Holcomb. " Prom claims of 20,000 to 25,000 majority for Holcomb , Chairman ndinlsten of the pop ulist state central committee has collapsed Into eullon silence. Secretary Nelson has re vised his cstlmato of from 18,000 to 2.1,000 majority for Holcomb and when asked this afternoon for an estimate of Holcomb's prob able majority said that ho was too busy with other work to give one. County CamnnlBii Dwindle * . The fight that Is being made In and around Lincoln on the two state tickets has completely overshadowed the- Lancaster county campaign. Meetings have been held In moat of the country precincts In the Interests of the various county candidates , but In the city they have received but very little attention. The fuslontsts have no hope of carrying the county for cither ths county or the state ticket , but they claim that last year's majority will be cut down considerably. Chairman John H. McClay of the repub lican county committee claims the county for Reese by 1,800 majority , for re gents by 1,300 majority , and for the county candidates by 1,200 majority. These figures are slightly above the republican vote of last year. An extra effort is being made to get out the full vote , out the In dications are that it will fall slightly below the total of last year. ' Chairman O. E. Laws of the county fusion committee concedes the county to most of the republican candidates and claims suc cess for only two or three fusion candidates. The efforts of the fuslonists have been di rected against three republican candidates , but no attempt has been made to carry the entire ticket. The republicans are conn- dent of the success of the entire ticket , notwithstanding the personal attacks that have been made against one or two of the candidates. All Indications point to an un usually largo vote for the head of the ticket. Dnten of Field Worker * * .

S Summers , United States district attorney , addressed a largo and enthusiastic audience In Mar- quardt's hall. Mr. Summers Eald It was Im material to republicans whether the demo- crats wanted to discuss either national or state Issues , that nationally the rnly ques tion before the people waa ono cf patriotism , nnd now , as In the past , the repub lean party stood ns the party of patriotism. On the question of expansion Mr. Summers said he was considerable of a democrat , is ho took for his pattern such grand expansionists as Thomas Jefferson , who cnado It possible for the territory where we stand today to be come n part of the United , States ; James Monroe- , who acquired Florida ; Plorco and Polk , who acquired Texas , New Mexico , UlnU , Nevada , Arlrona and California.

( Special Telegram ) Reliable advlcci from Beemer today state that the address of W. J Uryan there was a distinct failure. Less than 100 people were In attendance , empty floats being largely In the majority , Mr. Bryan had only spoken fifteen minutes when he became Impressed with thf evident lack of sympathy and left the platform. One man applauded. The Oascn IE the common topic of conversation on the streets Mr. Bryan's address nt West Point Is said to have stimulated llttlo more enthusiasm than that at Becmcr. WISNDR , Neb. , Nov. 4 ( Special. ) W J. Bryan arrived here this afternoon and spoke for about fifteen minutes to a crowd esti mated at about 450. Bryan scored the ad ministration and spoke against trusts. The crowd was not as large as expected and the applause did not ehow entire sympathy with the speaker. OAKOALE , Neb. , Nov. . ( Special. ) W. J , Bryan ppoke here this morning to a mea ger audience. At Intervals during his talk cheers could bo heard for McKInlcy. It was decidedly a republican meeting. Judge Hol comb also made a brief address. ATKINSON , Neb. . Nov. 4. ( Special. ) W. J , Bryan spoke to n large audience here last night. His principal theme was the condem nation of the present administration. The meeting was conspicuous for lick of enthu siasm. STANTON. Neb. . Nov. I. ( Special. ) W. J. Drjan and Judge Holcomb arrived on their special train from the west one hour late. They were met at the depot by about 700 people , a largo part being composed of the school children of Stanton. So notice able was this feature of the audience that Mr. Bryan could not help lamenting thit the men did not como out to hear him In stead of permitting the children to come. His talk of ten minutes was devoted to Im perialism and trusts , delivered In his ste reotyped language GO familiar to the people of the state at this time. Holcomb made a few remarks , the burden of which was to "vote the fusion ticket. " The meeting was without Incident. FREMONT , Neb , Nov. 4 ( Special. ) W. J. Bryan spoke to a crowd in front ot a local hotel thin afternoon. His speech was along the line of others he Is making throughout the state. He began with an at tack upon trusts which ho claimed were fos tered by the republican party. Ho then branched off upon the theme of prosperity which he claimed was not In any way due to the policy of the republican party. The price of farm products he sold was estab lished by other things than legislation. He spoke at some length upon the Philippine question and against a standing army. Judge Holccmb accompanied Bryan , but did not speak. The special train was about an hour late and the party was in the city leas than an hour. MCADOW GROVE , Neb. . Nov. 4 ( Special Telegram. ) W. J. Bryan arrived on his spe cial this morning. The fus.onlsts had built a platform against a grain h'uso nnd decor ated It with flags and bunting displaying Lincoln , Washington and Dewey's pictures , but not one democrat. Bryan made the usual talk condemning the republican party that hi hai made everywhere. He epoko'abjut fifteen minutes and at the clcso someone cried : "Threo cheers for Bryan ! " but only ono was given , and that was very faint. Unfavorable comment wns heard on every side , even by some who say they will vote th fusion ticket. - NORFOLK , Neb , Nov. 4. ( Special Tele gram. ) iAt 11.30 .today . a special train bear ing W. J. Bryan , Governor Poyntcr , Judge Holcomb and other fuslonists pulled up at the depot , where Mr. Bryan addressed a crowd of about GOO , three-fourths of which were non-voters , women and children. Mr. Bryan gave the usual speech In which ho berated the gold standard , trusts , Mark Hanna , militarism and Imperialism. LINCOLN , Nov. 4. ( Special Telegram ) W. J. Bryan and John P. Altgeld spoke here tonight to good audiences. Bryan had been speaking to email crowds all day and his addrees this evening was devoted chiefly to abuse of McKInlcy and his policy on the Philippine question. Altgeld spoke on trusts and In tbo course of his remarks said that they now have control of the government , most of the states and municipalities and further that no federal Judge had ever been appointed that was not satisfactory to tbo corporations. Brjan opened at Bohanan's ball and Altgeld at the Oliver theater , both of them afterwards exchanging places. Many peonM left the opera houao while Bryan was apoaulng and the audience displayed but very little enthusiasm , Even populists were disgusted at the remarks of Bryan In his attempts to apply biblical quotations to the political Issues.

( Special. ) Senator Hnyward , accompanied by Congress man Taylor of Ohio , arrived In the city this evening and addressed an audience of more than 300 at Gcrmanla ball. Tbo senator talked far about fifteen minutes on uta.to Issues , especially calling attention to the fact that bo Is an attorney for a mutual Insurance company of which ex-Governor Holcomb Is president , and that Holcomb would scarcely be the proper man to bo on the supreme bench and bo the arbiter In lit igated matters wherein tbo company may be Interested. Congressman Taylor spoke on national Issue * and held the Interest of his audience for au hour and a half. Ills arraignment of democracy on Its attitude toward the ad ministration and government nt this tlnio was a scathing rebuke and Hryanlsm was thonn up In all its absurdity. Mnjor Wnriier nt Crete , CIinTU , Neb. Nov. 4 ( Special Tele gram. ) The first and only republican speech during the campaign was made to night In this city by Major Warner of Kan sas City A large and Intelligent audience greeted the speaker. Mr Warner handled the political question as to differences between republicans and democrats In a masterly manner. When he came to answer Tow no's speech of last night on the Philippine war ho convinced his audlenco that the main question Is left to congress and the people must stand by the government and our agreement with Spain. With all the fusion work which has beeji done lately in this county Reese will have a majority of 250 In tbo county and the republicans will elect four out of six county officers. Cronnie Speak * nt HASTINGS , Neb. . Nov. 4. ( Special Tele gram , ) Lorenzo Crouuso spoke here tonight to V large and most enthusiastic audience. His address was frequently Interrupted with loud and prolonged applause and proved a vote winner. He showed from tbo ctart the splendid and prosperous condition of affairs I In the United States today and eald no other country In the world has ever had euch a magnificent showing. 1 Bryan's cpreer in congress was shown up | In a clear light and he w849 given quite a dressing down Mr CrounAc epoko at length J Upon the money queitlon and said there was | ( .

' In speaking of the war Mr Crounao said that Brian wns anxious to rush the United States Into a war against Spain without gun , powder nor shot. Hut MeKlnley wns not the man to be caught in such a trnp. "Tho present war we have In the Philip pines , " said Odr Crounsc , "began there under a treaty which Mr. Hrjon supported and Insisted upon , and now ho Is trying to tear down the Hag over there.
