CramtoTui : Hut ] The following address
to Iho traveling mon of the First coagrss-
iloiial district was Issued this evening. It
bears tbo signatures of nearly 100 of the best
known commercial men of this city :
"As traveling men of Lincoln , wo want to
protest atialnst balng used by Mr. Hyran
nnd quoted by him as his backers in Ibis con
gressional lUht. Two years ago Mr Uryan
abused the kindness of a few of Iho boys
who were hint ] enough to support him by
publishing It ovorvwhero and having his
friends herald It from every street corner
that the traveling men ot Lincoln as a class
were bis Rupportors. Sincothonbo und his
friends have purslstontly crowded this Idea
bolero the public until many traveling mon ,
llko ourselves , have become disgusted with
what wo consider nn unwarranted and Impu
dent presumption on his part.
"Tbo traveling men of Lincoln as a class
were not for Mr. Uryan two years ao and
they nre not for him now. Some of them nro ,
nnd tboy have a right to bo , and it Is his
light and privilege to make such use of their
support as ho mav dc&iro. but ho has no richt
to make a constant parade of the Iravolliig
men of Lincoln .is being his supporters.
Judge fluid' * Irli-k.
"Judge Field Is popular among all travel
ing mon regardless of policy nnd is receiving
now vho onthiislasilc support of republicans
In our fraternity , and especially so for his
manly and dignified course In this
campaign in that ho hns never had
Iho gall to go whispering it around
into tbo oars of every ono thnt ho
carries the traveling man's vote In his vest
pocktit. Allen Field has been n Nobrasknn
slnco his boyhood , twenty-nine years , and
we ono nnd u'll nro proud of what ho Is and
what hohas achieved ns n citizen , as n public
ofllclal and as ono of the business pushers
and builder * of Lincoln. Manv a working
man of Lincoln has found employment
wnd good pnv in the business opera
tions ot Allen Field , but what
laboring man or Lincoln over saw a dollar
of Bryjn'.s monov or what citizen of Lincoln
or of Nebraska has over felt his city or his
state lonclltcd and its property enhanced in
value bv anything that Mr. Uryan has
ever said or done !
"Wo have no fault to llnd with Mr. Uryan
in his desperate effort to save his election al
tub lime so long in ho is fair in his methods ,
but when ho BOSS to the business men out
side of Lincoln and tells them that all the
traveling men nro for him , that the people of
Lincoln , as u city , have laid aside their busi
ness and nre devoting themselves entirely
tn "Pndlng him to congress , his j'all becomes
Offensive.
\Vn.y did Mr. Hryan , after having ono
nicotine at whih ho addressed the iravel-
ing men of Liucoln , cancel another of his
cntf.igemiMils und ndveitlao n second meel-
inc on the same date ihnt Mr : Field's only
traveling tnun's meeting had been adver
tised for Iho Lansing theater ! If the num
ber of traveling ; men In attendance upon
either of Mr. llrynn'.s mooting ; ! 1 * to bo
taken as a test of his strength among them ,
Mr. Fiord's majority will be overwhelming ,
"
us It should IKS from" business standpoint
co far as traveling men ns a class nro con
cerned. As n manor of fact every traveling
man represents directly or indirectly the
manufacturer , and we are only too willing lo
cast , our votes for Iho protocllon of the man-
tifacturor as well us ourselves , and for Mr.
Allen Field , who champions the protective
platform , rather than fora man with nono. "

nKTiiiCK , Web. , Nov. 7. [ Spccl.il Tele
gram to Tun Dec , | The outlook for tomor
row's election in this countv and city is very
encouraging for the republican ticket. The
election of the entire ticket is enthusiasti
cally claimed tiy the republicans and Is
p\rtly conceded by the democrats , who are
equally certain that they will elect Marvin
nnd Kuthorford to the legislature and Dlbb
for county attorney. On the other hand the
independents nro equally cortaln'of Iho elec
tion of their candidate for county attorney ,
Krotsingcr.
The fact that there nro two independent
candidates In the field for county attorney ,
Krotsln er and Wnsson , makes the attorney
question somiwhat complex. It.V Sabm ,
the republican candidate for
county attor
ney , is very popular In the county and city ,
and the most conservative concede his elec
tion by n small plurality. Tim county and
city will give a good round majority for the |
republican presidential uleetors and for
Crounso for governor and llaincr for con
gress. In brief , the outlook In Claire county
tonight is docldedly uncour.iging to the re
publicans , ( inga county is ull right for pro
tection In Nobrasun.

CIIICHOO. 111. , Nov. 7. The close of the

dent In Iho northwest. Tbo democrats for
iho mist mrt , feel nsiiiraj th.it they will
elect their governor In this stive , and there
nre many who own expect thu electoral vote
of Illinois to bo cast for Cleveland. Tno ro-
nublicans laugh at thaso m-eionslons , nud
their Htato com iittto appears to bi quilo as
conlldentof republican victory all along thu
line In Illinois.
The democratic national campaign commit
tee , whose western headquarter- , have been
In charge of Congressman Hen T. Cable of
Illinois , sent out telegrams to nil local com

thorn lhat a careful poll loft no rood for
aoubt of Cleveland's success it ) Illinois nnd
\ \ leconsln and Dial all that remained was to
get out the full domocratlo vota tomorrow.
This committee has praclically managed the
entire democratic campaign in the doubtful
states of the northwest , and If ono or moro
of iheso status should go Democratic it would
bo justly regarded as n great victory for
Chairman Cable and his colleagues , who
have waged n contest without precedent In
the west , and have made this lUhl without
assistance from the national committee ut

DPinoriMlIu Claims.
To the Associated press Chairman Cable , of
tno western branch of the national campaign
committee , this oveulng gave the following
statement of the committee's opinion of the
situation in Iho norihwest and tbo part
which the cornmlttec's work was playing In
the result :
"In Illinois the democratic organ'zatlon '
was never in bettor condition. There have
been sent from thcso headquarters , in nddi- _
lion lo moro iban : i,03JOOJ documents boar-
Ing on i the questions at issue in the campaign ,

Known is ardent democrats , but passed
the time of life when they can oe expected to

have boon moro than encouraging. t-Voni all
pan of the state 1 hnvo received letters
showing ' that the democrats ai-o enthused
will the prosDeet. The polls sent lo this
ofllco show evidences of having b3cn prepared -
pared with more than tun ordinary care.
The speech delivered by Hon.Yayno Mac-
Vo.igh lust Saturday has bjon of vast ser
vice in bringing to our ticket tbo support of
n largo class of Independent thinkers who
nnvo been republicans , but have apieod with
the platform doolaratlons rather than with
the party action in congress. From a careful
oxiiminailon of tbo pjlls received from tha
mate I believe the two parties will conio to
Coo county very nearly oven , and iho ma
jority hero will bo over 10,000. which will

Handsome plurality.

that the presence of so much force will

Nr.w VOIIK , Xov. 7. [ Special ToloRratn to
Tun HBK.J "Jr drover Cleveland Is licked
ho ui'.l be awfully licked , " said Uourko
Coclmm lo a friend this afternoon.
The Tammany orator was evidently foolIng -
Ing the force of his talk at the Chicago cen
vonllon when ho lold Iho dumocrals of Iho
nation that Mr. Cleveland was popular every
day in the year except election day. Tomor
row's verdict ot tha polls is to show how far
right Shoohan.Crottor and the other members
of the Now Vorlf delegation were In Ihoir be
lief that Cleveland could cairv the stato.
It may bo said impartially that today they
hnvo shnwu fewer signs of confidence In
their own oampaicn boasts us distinguished
from tbcir prophecies nt the Chicago con
vention than at any time for the last ten
days. There nro evidences that the ground
is slipping from under them.
The republicans , on the other hand , ex-
proas the most absolute confidence. They
believe that they are on the crest of Iho
tide , nud that all the undercurrents nro
with thorn. They know lhat the democratic
hope of reducing Harrison's ' 80,000 majority
above , the Elurlem by 20.000 is the wildest
dream , and they feel pretty sure that they
have the democratic majority below the
Harlem dam-nod UP so that it can by no
posslolllty go beyond SU.OOO.
Ho\v IliirrNoit Is 1'Uvored.
Their conviction is that Harrison will win
IT about tne plurality ho hud four years ago
Some ot thorn think with itDiirko Cichnin
that ' if Urover Cleveland Is Hcnod it will DO
mi awful licking , and they sny it is possible
toRlvoUcnor.il Harmon 31,000. It should
be said i , however , that the mon In both par
ties who nrj lecocnizod for conservative
judgment stick lo the belief that the plural-
H.V either way will bo between 3,000 and 7,000.
There are moro of those mon tonight who
think that this plurality will bo in favor of
Harrison than there wai'o forty-clh'ht hours
a.o.
a.o.The r ; democratic confidence of the la.st week
was ; artificial , worked up to cover the disap-
pointmcnt over the failure In registration and
to fool f the countrv generally inlo the belief
that Now York was safe for Cleveland , but
the inevitable reaction from Ibu sluttlnc. bus
come , and the nervous uncertainty in the
democratic camp is much creator tha'n among
the republicans , though thu latter have tolr !
share of it.

Chairman Harrlty and his millionaire asso

not inane certain lhat ho can c.iuso a stam

Burchard the campaign bun produced has
been Wayne MatVench , and his friondj ull

that speech caused in the democratic ranks.
Tbo republican committed , with Carter and

' ' 'ho close of the campaign In
finds the republicans conildont of oloctlng
their entire state ticket , it nns been n cam
paign of education. As u reunt republican
Ism has gained ground .
const.intlv ana the.
only reason for doubt that the Harrison
electors ! will receive a plnnilltv of the vote
cast Is the cowardly action of the democrats
In deserting their national
ticket and throw-
Inp their I votes to Weaver. Tno campaign
opened dlscouraingly for republican * , li.
appeared as though tbo parly had dolcrl *
oratod. Hut ns the campaign progrosiod
discouragement gsyo place to bopn , nnd hopa
was succeeded br confluence. Now that tha
preliminary skirmishing is over and the bnt
tie of the ballots Is on in earnest , republi
cans nro solidly In tha forefront and putting-
forth ! every effort to secure victory.
The republicans h.ivo the best reasons in
the world ' for their coufldonco in ibo success
of their state ticket. They have flguroi
llgurcs that do not lie -to baci : them up.
These figures show th'U ' the republican can
didates on the state ticket , with possi
lily ono or two exceptions , will have a.
plurality of from 5,000 to 13,000. The
republicans are almoit absolutely certain to
elect two congressmen , wltn a fair chunco of
.
carrying the other four districts. The legis
lature will bo close , but again the chances
for controlling ( it are slightly in favor of tna
republicans. So much for a general state
ment ol the situation.
\Vluit i\ Shonri ,
Tin : Iiii : : has just linlshod its Until canvass
of iho siato and has carefully compiled tuo
llgurcs received from each of the uluoiy
counties. This canvass included the total
votoou posidont , povoi-iior , congressman ,
stnlo senators and ropt-jsontatlves. Tlm
result of the canvass shows Ibal tha
total veto of the ktato will
bo very close to UiXi.UlO , au increase of about
i'J.OOO ' ever a year nco nud n decienso ot
nearly 10,000ns compared with 1SHO. Two
years ago. owing to iho fervid campaign on
Iho prohlbllion question , every vote In tint
state was brought out , while mis year thero-
has been n luck of intercut in certain
( inarters which will result in a falling off In
Iho democratic and Independent vole. In
making compurisoiiR the vole of IsOJ 1ms
nccessnt ily beer. usud. Four voars ago tboro-
w.is no Independent party in Nebraska , Two-
years ago the party sprang up ann cast nearly
one-third ot the
vote of iho stale , making
the first real triangular political richt Ne
braska had over know n. Although Iho pop-
ullsls have lost , a good portion of theii- follow
Ing , the battle this vuar is ncain triangular
on Iho state ticket , but with the atmo-
oral in the rear. On the national
ticket , however , there are really
but two opposing forossHthe republicans
tuo-onc siao and tno inoeponacntrnmrtlijmtK-
era is on iho oilier. The Offorls inado by
Governor Boyd and Iho democratic sltuo ceu
tral committee lo have Iho democialic vet
tnrown , . lo the Weaver electors are well
known.
Very Clone on I'rcNldent ,
Their efforts will prove only partially suc
cessful , but it Is evident that' enough Jlcmo-
cral will cast their voles for Weaver to
make the sialo considerably closer on presi
dent than on governor. Many democrats
will rofusu to vote on electors nt nil , others
will cast their balloU for thulr own party
nominees , while a largo number of Independents
cut who will vote for Ihoir stale lickot will
place tncir murks opposite the Harrison
electors. Of course all this , changing about
gren'ly complicated matters .and hai
made the labor of
securing a
reliable osllmuto u diftlculi task. There will
probably bo 4,000 less votes cast for presi
dent than fur governor , making the total
vote on the national ticket nbout ' " 01,000.
This will be divided about as follows : Har
rison. 84,000 ; Cleveland , : ilOOU ; Weaver , S-V
000 ; Hldwell , U.OOO. The margin for tuo republican -
publican electors is a narrow ojo , nnd every
vote limn bo polled to suvo the Btato fur
Harrison.
CrouinH-H Snio I'lurnllly.
The full voting strength of the state will
be polled on governor. The issues between
the republicans and pnpullsia have Deem to
sharply defined that the great struggle will
be between thcao two parties , leavlnr th6
democrats lo trail in the rear. Tin ; HiH'3 !

bition , aboutll.OOO. !
Two \oars ago Hiebards , the republican
candldalo for governor , received OS,87b {
lioyd , democrat , 7I'I1 ! und Powers , paoulist ,
) , 187. Thu change In iho relative strength
the parties this year Is easily accouulnii
for. Two years ago the prohibition question
placed lioyd in iho gubernuiot'lal chair , not
because ho xvas a democrat , but for the sim
ple reason that he
was an untl-prohlbillonlst ,
whllo Iho republican candldalo was "on the
fence" und refused
to declare tils position oa
the loading IBSUO of Iho campaign , Tli
question [ ! ' of prohibition , having uoun settled ,
plays no part In the campaign this
year , and with n popular and
Ihoiuughl.v upright republican candidate for
L'ovoruor in the Hold iho two old parties
will resumu prnponliinulcly iholr voting
strength pluvious to the struggle of 18VO.
Out of ihelr Ktrongth , howuvur , Is to bo
taken the populist voto. Two years ago the
larger portion of thu indcpundont strength

Cumlliliitrii U'lio Will l.cuil.
This year Ihe situation will bo partially re
versed. Tin : Hii'h : canvass shows that Van
Wvck will ruco'vo very nearly the same vote
polled by Powers , but Van Wyck'a
slrengih comes from ft different souroo tli mi
did that of tbo Urst populist cuburnatorltl
candldalo. Powers'
sirouglh lay almost en-
llroly IP the country districts and ho drew
little support from the cities. Vim Wyck
has lost strength In tbo country , but
has gained enough from tha
worklngmon of tlio cities to otTsot the foiling
away of the farmers , Whllo Powers only
polled l,17i : votes in Oaiahn and Douglas
county , Van Wvck will show a nironirth of
about 5,000 votes. Mortoq'a vote In this city
will show moro than a corresponding falling
off.
Nearly all the other candidates on the state
licliets will run even with thu gubernatorial
nominees , bbrader and VYolbauh , for lieu
tenant governor , may run ahead of their
tickets , and It is probable that llackman.
democratic candidatu for Iruusurer , will load
Uckel by S.OOO to 0.000 volet , secured
from HcanJiuiivians of both the republican
and Independent parties ,
Hard I'lK'it ' on t-uncrmiincn.
In tbo congressional districts all the par
ties nave made vlporouacanvasses , Probably
the hardest Until over mauo by the democrats
this stnto has been waged In thu First dli-
let in favor of Uryan. Largo amounts of
monev have hron rushed into the district to
save the younK congressman from defeat for
tucond term. The commote canvass of the
district shows that a tola ) vole of UO.OOO will
cast. Of this , Hliamp , the Independent ,
will receive loss than r.OOJ , llrynu will poll
I'J.OOO , uud l iold will have nearly 111,000.
Neither sldo has n vole to spare.
In the .Second district the fight will be very
> o , with iho Indications slgntly lo favor of
David H Mercer , iho republican candidate.
Tun HKK'S canvass shows that Kev , Uobarl
