CHICAGO , Oct. 31. The campaign in the
middle wuitcrn ktatts ( or the mem part
came to au end tonight. In Chicago and Cook
county , where the heat o ( the fight ban bceu ,
tbc rounding up fur thu candidates wa
finished this evening , " " ' 1 the last speeches
were in a Jo. Doth parlies claim to be sure
of tin- result and exprviut confidence that the
count on Tuesday night will show a large
majority fur their men. The only change
that has been nude In the estimates
of rlther party Is thu most Important as
sertion of Chairman Jones that Illinois Is a
doubtful utate. He haa always claimed It
heretofore as certain for liryau.
Chairman Jones naya that Mr. Ilryiu
lia at least l'u2 votes In the
electoral college- , and that nothing can talte
them auay from lilm. Chairman Hanna Is
far more sweeping In hit estimates of Major
McKlnley'8 prospects , and Hays that the
Ohio man will have not less than 311 votce
and others may conic later. Doth chairmen
Issued todhy their last appeals to the people ,
and say that they have the victory already
won , and all that remains to clinch the
matter IK the counting of the votes.
In the matter of congressmen and mem
bers of the state legislatures and ntnaller
officers on the tickets the claims nre of the
same nature.
The campaign In the middle west , and
particularly In the upper Mississippi val
ley , has been o' the most detcrmlne-d char
acter on both side's. U lias been the center
of the fighting ground and neither party
has Fpared any etfort to win. Statements
have been Issued tonight by the chairmen
of the three parties us to the actual situa
tion at the close of the campaign.
FROM MARK HANNA.
Chairman Mark Hanna of the republican
national committee gave out the following :
. "The earnest support which the loyal cltl-
; tens of the United Statin , Irrespective of
former political alllllatioiib , have rendered
the republican party In the cause of sound
money In the campaign about to end Justi
fies an expression from those who have been
called upon to conduct it. No campaign
since tbc war of the rebellion has presented
such grave responsibilities to those entitled
to the elective franchise. Tbc dangerous
. enunciated by the Chicago plat-
Term , which proposes not only a debasement
of the currency but the destruction of the
highest Judicial authority of the land , have
justified good citizens. Irrespective of past
party preferences. In uniting to rebuke those
. who would thus endanger the very fuunda-
tlons of our national organization.
j "The developments of the closing week
of the campaign leave no doubt that the
judgment of nn overwhelming majority of
the people of the nation Is against the plat
form and candidate of repudiation and na
tion dishonor. It now remains for thevotero
to register at the polls their answer to the
attempt * to excite passion , prejudice and sel
fishness for the benefit of a few who are
willing to drstroy national honor and en
danger national credit for their personal
ambitions and Individual profit. Good citi
zens In every section and of every party
have In public expressed themselves upon
thl subject. Their duty now Is to do e-o
In such a manner as will forever put an
rnd to further attempts In this line. There
la hut one way of doing thin , and that Is
at the pollB. While each man has his espe
cial field In the preliminary work of the
campaign , the duty of election day Is com
mon to nil. No man. however much he has
done In Influencing others , can neglect his
personal duty at the polls and no citizen ,
however humble or devoted to employment
or business , should fall to cxerclee his prlvl
lege and duty on election day. It Is not
merely a prlvlle-ge , but a duty. And while-
It Is the duty of every good citizen to ex
press hl will nt the polls on all occasions ,
that duty was never more serious or Im
portant than now. Sound arguments anil
expressions of loyalty count for nothing un
less those who offer them or are convinced
by them exercise thai universal privilege ol
participating In the actual direction of the
government by voting on election day.
ALL JOIN HANDS AT THE POLLS.
"It Is hoped , therefore , that all good citi
zens will join hands on Tuesday In inaln-
- . inlnlng the honor of the nation by regls-
r'terlng their ballots In favor cf that can-ll-
date who has been honored by the support
of loynl men of all partle1 * William > Ic-
Klnlcy. The Issue Is between two men anil
throe two platforms , the one representing
national honor , government , sound inonej
M-d sound principles : the other standing fnr
doctrines dangerous to .he pe-ace nnd pros
jwrlty of the nation and promising only a
( fi. system which must debase the currency
j destroy business nnd end employment. It
is , as has been recently bald by Major Mc
Klnlcy hlmrelf. a time when the voice of
thu partisan Is hushetl In the chorus of pa
triotism which sounds from one end cf the
country to the other. Let every loyal citi
zen take this thought to the polls with bin
on election day and the country will he
uavcd from the danger which confronts I
nnd saved by the same loyal devotion whleh
obliterated party line's In defence of the
nation en an occasion of eiual but no
greater peril. "
"I am confident that the strength of Me
Klnley and Hobart In the electoral college , a
a result of next Tuesday's election , will no
bet Irss than 311 votes. This estimate I
made- upon figures just received from chair
I * men of state committees , the result of Una
polls taken In eucli a careful manner as to
f give them the highest credence. Thes
' polls indicate that the vote by states wll
be as follows :

JONES DH1UE I100IE.
Chairman James K. Jones has given out
t-o fo'.lowlnr statement as to the general
i-PSUltl
"The great struggle to right the wrong
nf 1S73 has been w-on. The only work re
maining to be done Is to see that the people
have the opportunity to vote as consciences
dictate and that their votes shall be counte- ' .
as cast. I urge all lovers of the country and
our Institutions to exert themselves as they
never have before in this holy cause. Watch
the polling places , fcrutlnlzo every act at
the polls and see to It that the law shall
not bo violated. This committee has of
fered a reward of J500 for evidence necessary
to convict anyone guilty of bribing or at
tempting to bribe any voter to vote or to
tcfraln from voting. Also a reward of $500
for evidence to convict any one of coercing ,
attempting to coerce- , Intimidating or at
tempting to intimidate any voter.
"I have received from our chairman of
each state committee full estimates of the
standing of voters In each state nnd am
confident that Mr. liryan's election Is as
sured by a very large majority. He will
carry each one of the following states :

"There are other states I regard as doubt-
ul. JAMES K. JONES. "
IJUTLEU ALSO CONFIDENT.
Chairman llutler of the populists has also
made a statement , which has been tcle-
gruyhed to the Associated press from Wash-
nglon. He says :
"The election of IJryan Is an absolute cer-
alnty. Bryan now bui nbaolutely certain
25S electoral votes , and his popular majority
will be larger than the electoral majority ,
and It will be at least 2,01)0.000. ) which Is
about the size ofthe populist vote. The
, rrangi-ments are perfected and the lining
up of voters , both populists and democrats ,
s far beyond our expectations , due more
: o the Intense Interest of the people In the
fight than to the diplomacy of committees ,
who. however , did all they could. The re
sult now achieved Is wonderful , In view of
he difficulties confronting us. Our party
came in the west from the republican party ,
n the south from the democratic party , and
o some extent , the old party prejudices
still exist. To line up this vote solidly for
a candidate was extremely difficult , and
though the democratic committee met us
half way , yet In many states local managers ,
unappreclatlve of conditions , added to the
difficulty , and the campaign would have been
simplified if Sewall had seen his way clear
; o withdraw. Hut falling this , we had
.o organize Joint electoral tickets all around.
The party , us well as Watson , was disap
pointed In not having one ticket , but It
would be a slander on him to say he would
consequently keep Ilryan from getting votes ,
and he will make no further fight. The free
. .liver republican vote that will be given to
Ilrynn will be much larger than McKlnley's
gold standard democratic vole. The
2,000.000 populist votes will be practically
solid for Itryan. There Is a much larger
percentage of the labor vote , both organized
and unorganized , for Bryan , than has ever
been cast for a democratic candidate , and
the people's party strength , even were the
free silver republicans and labor vote ab
sent , could elect Ilryan. Chicago Is doubt
ful , but wo will get 40.000 majority In the
country districts to overcome that. Bryan
docs not have to gel Illinois , and he could
lose all of the middle western states , except
Indiana or Michigan , or Minnesota ( which
are certain ) , and be elected. The repub
licans will come nearer to getting Wyoming
than any state west of Iowa.
OSCEOLA , la. , Oct. 31. Mr. Bryan was
shown a telegram here giving the estimate
of Chairman Mark Hanna of the republican
national committee. In response to an In
quiry as to Its correctness Mr. Bryan said :
"I shall leave the national committee to
Usue an estimate , but If I were to express
an opinion upon his table ( meaning Mr.
Hanna'a ) . I should say that fully one-half
of the ele-ctoral votes which he counts upon
will be found In thu free silver column. Un
less the reports which come to us from
various states are entirely erroneous , we
shall have considerably more than 200 elec
toral votes. "
Mr. Hryan also stated that he was con
firmed in the opinion , uttered some time
ago , that the study of the money question
had Increased the number of republicans
who would support free. silver and de-
ct eased the number of gold standard demo
crats.
JO.M2S SAYS ILLINOIS IS l.V DOl'lIT.

CoiK'iMlfH Hit * 1'riilrlt * Sliilf.
CHICAGO , Oct. 31. The fight for Illinois
thit has been waged by both of the leading
political parties In the campaign that Is just
closing has been one of the hottest struggles
ever known In American polities. Both
partl ( have all along made sweeping claims
of their ability to curry the state , but at
the end the republicans seem to be the
more sanguine of success. Chairman Ht.nnc
said today that he was sure of the state
for McKlnley by a majority rather ovr than
under 100,000 , while Chairman Jones , In
his estimate of the result which he sent
to the press this evening , puts the state
In the doubtful column. Thli Is more of a
concession than the democracy has made
regarding the state at any time since the
opening of the campaign. Thu democratic
leaders have always Insisted that they would
carry the state by a large majority , and
after the speeches of Mr. Bryan In this city
during the Ut lew days bars expressed
When you pet what you \vnnt-anrt It's
as represented , \ou tell your neighbors-
that's why our trade Is always p'ttlnj ; i

themselves as being very jubilant over the
outlook.
Tne flght on the national ticket has to a
large extent pushed the struggles In the
congressional district to the background ,
people generally being of the opinion that
the congressmen would fare pretty much
In the same manner as the head of the ticket
upon which they are running. The leadeta
of the two parties have said they were going
to have all the congressmen , but have In
most respects let them make a good part
of their contest alone. The congressmen
have In this campaign been largely the tall
of the kite. The Third Chicago district has
been the scene of a hot fight , and the re
publicans admit that they arc not over-suro
of success there. Clarence Darrow , the
democratic nominee has made a strong cam
palgn and he IIAR had all the aid th t Gov
ernor Altgcld can give him. Congressman
Bclknap. his opponent on the republican
ticket. Is confident of re election , but the
fight Is very close. A hot fight has been
going on also In the Second district , but
Congressman Lorlrner claims that he will
go to Washington again.
In the state at large republicans claim
nearly everything , and the democrats' as
sertions are In no way less sweeping. The
latter claim that HInrlchscn Is sure of elec
tion and assert that they will have a ma
jority of the Illinois delegation In congress
the next session. Claims on the state legis
lature , which will elect a United States
senator , are made In the same general man
ner by both rarMcs and nothing but the
count of the votes on the night of Novem
ber 3 will convince either party that It has
made any mistake In counting the majori
ties of Ita candidates.
II. E. Spanglcr , secretary of the national
democratic state committee. Issued the fol-
lowltir ; statement tonight : "There will be
1.000.000 votes polled In Illinois next Tues
day. Of this number McKlnley will receive
520.000 ; Bryan. 440.000 ; Palmer and Buck
ner , i'5.000. and the balance scattering. 1
reach this conclusion in this manner : The
voteof this state In 1SH2 In round numbers
was S73.000. divided as follows : Cleveland.
42C.OOO ; Hrralson. 400,000 ; indwell 27.000 ;
Weaver 22.000. Of the 27.000 BIdwcIl votes
I estimate that 15.000 will vote for Bryan.
5,000 for McKlnlcy and the balance for Lev
ering. Of the 22,000 votes cast for Weaver.
15.000 will go to Bryan , r.,000 to MoKlnlcy ,
the balance scattering. I estimate that 20.-
000 republicans will vote for Bryan , and
that there are In the state 75.000 democrats
who will not vote for Ilryan and populism.
Of this mnr.l-cr 50.000 wUI vote for McKinley -
ley and 25.000 will vote for Palmer and
Buckner. There will be 125,000 more votes
cast this year than In 1S92. Of this number
80.000 will be for McKinley , 40.000 for Bryan
and 5.000 scattering.
BOTH PARTIES CLAIM MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE. Md. , Oct. 31. The fight for
presidential electors In Maryland ended to
night with great demonstrations on both
sides. In the afternoon the gold standard
democrats and republicans had a parade In
which at least 4.000 men took part , after
which a meeting was held at Music hall.
Thomas J. Gargan of Beaten , Henry Austin
Adams and John Byrne of New York and
local speakers addressed the meeting. The
silver men held a meeting at the same
placetonight. . United States Sena
tors Gorman of Maryland and Dan
iel of Virginia being the prin
cipal speakers. There Is a wide divergence
between the claims of the chairmen of the
opposing committees as to the results of
next Tuesday's fight. Chairman Wellington
of the republican state committee Insists
that his party will get not less than 1S.COO
majority In the city and that they will
carry the state by at least 25.000 and that
every congressman , with the possible ex
ception of Miles In the First district , will
he republican and In favor of a gold stand
ard. On the other hand Chairman Hatteraly
W. Talbot of the democratic state committee
claims the state by 9.000 to 10.000 and thinks
the democrats will certainly elect three and
possibly five congressmen.
ONLY A QUESTION OF MAJORITY.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31. With the setting of
the sun today the active work of one of the
most remarkable campaigns ever conducted
In New York state was brought to a close.
It has been a struggle upon the part of
the democrats In New York state to keep the
majority of the republicans down to a normal
figure and to carry. If possible , enough ol
assembly districts to prevent the sending of
a republican successor to David B. Hill , to
: he senate of the United States. Chairman
Charles W. Hackctt of the republican state
committee says In finally reviewing the
campaign : "The majority for the republican
electoral ticket In this state will reach at
least 250,000 ; In New York City alone I am
sure that we shall obtain over 50.000 plu
rality. In addition to this we expect to
clinch the question of national control stll
further by tending to congress a solid re
publican -delegation. I do not think that a
slnglo democrat can be elected in this state
to congress. In the assembly districts , al
though the democrats are making dickers for
members , I believe that wo shall carry ai
least 112 of the 150 districts , and posslbl )
120. That will give us a big margin to aid
In electing a successor to Senator Hill. "
Chalrmin Elliot Danforth of the demo
cratic state committee says to the Asso
ciated press : "We shall carry the city of
New York by at least GO.OOO. and that wll
elect the Bryan ticket In this state. The
republicans are counting upon a majority o
100,000 or more up the state , but they wil
not It. The farmers'
get vote will be a
great surprise and the normal republican
majority up the state , which Is about C3-
000 , will be cut In half. We expect to In
crease the democratic list of cotgressmet
by at least five , and are pretty sure of ere
atlng a surprise In the election of assem
blymen. Jn this latter canvass the demo
cratlc party Is at a great disadvantage , be
cause of the rank apportionment of the dls
trlcts by the republicans two years ago. "
From thc-so statements of the leaders o
the two parties a fairly accurate Idea can
be obtained from these claims by consider
Ing the usual standing of the relative ma
jorltles of the democrats in New York Cltj
and the republicans above the Harlem.
Leader Sheehan of Tammany hall believe
that the democrats will carry New Yorl
City by 30.000 , and does not exceed thos
figures In any quoted Interviews.
It seems probable that the democrat
wllj make some gain In the assembly dls
trlcts , but hardly enough to gain a majorlt )
of the lower house. The statements of th
chairmen of the two state committees , I
will bo noted , Ignore two things the clec
tlon of governor and the probable effec
of the third , or gold , ticket. In thu matte
of the election of governor , it U concedc <
by both parties that the vote for the hem
of the fctate ticket will not vary much
from the national. The democrats cxpec
that the republican candidate , Black , wll
run behind In his own county , and posslbl
In New York. The gold democrats expec
to poll about 2C.OOO In the state , and sa
that this will be drawn from tbo regula
democratic vote , thus preventing any prob-

ists , and on Monday evening one or two
addresses by republican speakers. HepUb-
Ican orators made 1,200 speeches during

State Chairman Coe said tonight that
IB was confident the republicans would
rarry the state by GO.OOO. and quoted figures
by counties , giving McKlnley a plurality
of Gl.450. He clilms that the ten Wis
consin congressmen will be republican , and
hat. but six counties In the state will give

eglslature will be largely republican , and

lave about 110 of the 133 votes.

CLAIMS AHE EVEN IN MICHIGAN.
DETROIT , Mich. . Oct. 31. At the close
of a campaign of almost unparalleled Intercut
> oth the republican and democrntlc'people's-
inion-sllvcr state committee-store claiming
Michigan by 35.000. In Detroit the demon
strations culminated this afternoon In a
street parade In which upwards of 15.00ft
men marched to display their enthusiasm
'or gold standard principles. A marked
'cature of the proves 'nn was the number of
prominent citizens past middle Jlfe who
marched with their employes and other
younger comrades. Flag day was generally
celebrated throughout the state , fair veather
v.Ith a snapping fresh breeze showing oft'
the flags and banners merrily. The silver
campaign wound up tonight hi Detroit with
a lil ? mass meeting in the Auditorium ad
dressed by state leaders of tha fusion party.
The republican state central committee
lias made three separate canvasses , which
It asset ts have been very thorough. Its
figures on the last canvass , jest completed ,
give It a 35,000 lead , equal ute 7- : per cent
of the total registration of about 000,000.
The earlier canvasses showed nearer 20.000.
although the exact figures had not been an
nounced. The democrats made no systematic
canvasses , but figured their majority by es
timates made from actual canvasses of cer
tain scattered localities. They al o antici
pate the entire populist vote and a large
part of the prohibition vote , the latter b ( ing
expected to approximately offset the loss
of the gold standard democrats.
Split tickets will be numerous throughout
the state. The Plngree vote for governor
Is asserted to be an uncertain factor as
o free silver republicans are e * ectcd
to scratch him and the railroads i".id many
other large coroorate Interests oppose Im.
All things considered Michigan Is rcgar.led
as one of the close states and ouly T-jes-
day's events can prove whether this Hitherto
strongly icpubllccn state has really declared
for free silver.
The republican state committee officer *
declare emphatically that they expect tc
again sweep the state on congressmen , while
the democrats more modestly claim at least
six of the twelve representatives. The gold
democrats have no candidates nominated for
congress.
PUT INDIANA AS DOUBTFUL.
INDIANAPOLIS , Oct. 31. The campaign
In Indiana closed today and speakers from
the state ore congregating here to main
final estimates of ihe result. That the
state Is in doubt , there Is no questiu-i and
betting tonight is livelier than It has been
tefore.
The monster demonstrations were made
by the republicans and demo.-rats In this
tity. both having parades mil's long. ( hair-
man Gowdy of the republican oo umittte
today claimed the state by 25.000 with ten
congressmen out of thirteenth. "The silc.it
democratic vote will be cast for McKlnloy. "
said he , "and If I am correct In this , McKln
ley will carry the- state by 60,000. "
Chairman Martin of the democratic com
mittee says the democrats will carry the
state by from 25.000 to 40.000. "There Is no
way I can figure It , " said he tonight , "by
which * our majority will be less than 5.000.
We shall certainly carry the state and will
elect nine congressmen. In 1RS2 we carried
the state by ever 7,000. and In every county

DEMOCRATS STILL CLAIM OHIO.
CINCINNA'U , 0. . Oct. 31. The Ohio cam-
nr.l ii closed tonight with unusually large
demonstrations In the cities and In many
parts of the rural districts. There has beei
much speaking and much parading during
thi canvass , and especially on the part of
the republicans In this state. The pilgrim
ages to Canton have done much to Increase
the Interest In this state. Before the cam
paign closed tonight there was a routes !
during the clay between the republican and
the democratic organizations as to how
the returns should be compared next Tues
day night. The democrats wanted compari
sons with the vole for Bushnell and Camu-
bell for governor In 1S95 and the republican * ,
with the vote for presluf.- 1SS2. A com
promise was secured by which comparisons
will bo made at least on the returns of ill-
larger cities , where the polls close at 4 p.
m. with the vote for governor last ye-ar and
also with the vote for president In 1S92. But
when the returns come In fast at a late
hour Tuesday night thcss double comparisons
may be found Impossible and then com
parisons will be made only with tbo
presidential vote of 1S92. In 1S92 the Harrison
risen electoral ticket carried Ohio by only
1.000 and the lowest man on the Harrison
electoral ticket had less votes than the
highest candidate on the Cleveland electoral
ticket , so that one electoral vote of Ohio ,
out of Its twenty-three electors , was cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson. In 1S93 Mc
Klnley had a plurality of over 80.000 for
governor , and In lSt'4 ' the republicans carried
Ohio by over 137.000. Last } car Bushnell.
republican , had n plurality cf over 92,000
over Campbell , democrat , for governor. If
the vote had been compared with that of
last year It would not be likely to show-
gains for McKlnley In his own state. If
the. vote Is compared with that of 1692 It
Is claimed there will be large republican
gains In McKinley's state. * as the repub
licans say they will carry Ohio next Tues
day by the largest plurality ever known ,
except ihat of 1S' < 4. The democrats claim
they have an even chance on Ohio and
that the result will be even closer than at
the last presidential election with a prob
ability on their advices of Bryan getting
the electoral vote. While It Is claimed that
McKlnley will get a larger vote In this city
than tbc republican ticket has ever had
hi Ohio the democrats state that the rural
districts will more ( ban overcome these
changes by the republican farmers voting
the fusion ticket. There are now nineteen
republican and only two democratic mem
bers of congress from Ohio and the demo
crats claim they will make gains on con
gressmen.
IT'S ONE SIDED IN IOWA.
DES MOINES. ' la. , Oct. 31. The cam
paign In central Iowa closed tonight with
a demonstration in DCS Molnes under the
gold standard nonpartlsan association. It
Is estimated moro than 5,000 men were in
line. The silver men closed thelr's with a
parade on Wednesday.
Chairman Curry of the democratic state
committee , through Secretary Carr , has Is
sued a claim that the state will give Bryan
30,000 plurality. This claim Is not based
on a poll of the state , but on letters from
the different county chairmen.
Chairman McMllllau of the republican
state committee estimates that MrKlnley
will have at least 75.000 plurality. This
estimate is based on a careful poll of ' .he-
state. The later counties to rejio-t Kvo
strengthened rather than weakened ihe ettl-
inatcs. Mr. McMlllian says he will not be
surprised If the plurality will go much cbovc
the first estimate.
In DCS Moines practically every voter has
registered. The vote will be very full all
over the state. The McKlnlcy campaign
resolved Itself Into a uonpartlsan one lar
and In DCS Molnes It Is believed that the
vote will be at least three to 1 for the
Ohl'i candidate.
LINCOLN , Oct. 31. ( Special. ) Chairman
Post of the republican state central com
mittee gives out the following statement :
"My former estimate of the result of
Tuesday's election stands ; our average ma
jorities should be r.ear 20,000. We have
made Gains everywhere during the past
ten days. There Is not a weak spot In our
Hues. Our people are confident and fully
ready for the final contest. Too high
praise cannot be given to the splendid
corps of speakers and workers who have
made the coming victory In this state pos
sible. We expect Bryan to attract consid
erable crowds of people , but what would
It bo If McKlnley should come to this
state ? The opposition Is already In full re
treat. One more supreme effort will make
victory overwhelmingly complete. "
BRYAN1TES BARELY CLAIM THIS.
TRENTON , N. JOct. . 31. The campaign
In this mate practically came to a close
tonight. While a few party rallies are
scheduled for Monday evening all the big
meetings have ended. The last one was
held In Patereon tonight. Bourke Cochrun.
the New York orator , delivered a gold
standard oddrets to a large crowd.
The republicans are confident of carrying
the state and say that the majority for Mc
Klnley and Hobart In New Jersey will be It
the neighborhood of 40,000. The democrats
do not admit this , and claim-that when the
returns are counted It will be found that
Bryan and Sewall have received a majority
of about 7,000 over the republican candi
dates.
The republicans are confident of electing
seven out of the eight congressmen , and the )
claim that Congressman Mahlong Pitney o
Morrlstown , who Is running for re-clectlo :
In tbc Fourth district , has good prospects o
success. His democratic opponent Is Former
'Congressman Cutler , also of Morrlstown
Thle Is one of the districts the democrats
ore confident of carrying.
The legislature tbc republicans are eon
fidint of controlling and they say they wil
elect a majority of the senators and assem
blymen to be cbotien.
DELAWARE SAFE FOR M'KINLEY.
WILMINGTON. Del. . Oct. 31. The polltl
cat situation In Delaware Is full of unccr
talnty. owing to the fight In the republlcat
ranks and the defection of the gold standan
democrats. Both the regular republican
and the union republicans ( Addlckb ) ar
united on electors , tbo regulars having en
dorsed the union electors. From thu best In
formation obtainable tonight It would ap
pear McKlnley ought to have 15,000 majority
Much depends upon the control of the float
Ing vote of 4,000 In thu lower counties. Th
gold standard democratic vote Is estlmatei
at about 7,000 and the single tax vote a
about 1.000. Thu election of the democrat !

and a democratic legislature Is practical !
conceded by the opposition.

CANTON , Oct. 31. In the awful crush
bout the stand In the McKlnley yard thU
fternoou to shake Major McKlulcy by the
and , a Youngstown woman fainted dead
way. She was tarried through the throng
o the cast side of the street , where restora-
Ives were applied. She recovered after a
Ime and was taken away In a carriage. Sev-
ral others were overcome. Two little girls
bout C years old -were caught In the crush
nd almost smothered. Strong arms grasped
hem and quickly carried them beyond dnn-
er. Soon after this Incident the Nllcs citl
ens were ciowded so about the stand that
panic was Imminent. Major McKlnley , cer-
ng this , opportunely proposed three chcert
or the old Hag In the following words
'My fellon- citizens , I propose. Inasmuch at-
his Is flag day In honor of the old stand
ard wnlch we love no much , we give three
rousing cheers for It and what It represent ! ,
n our national life. "
The people paused , the crush was stayer.
and with great vehemence the cheers were
given. The crowd moved away and Major
IcKlnlcy passed quickly Into the house. Tin-
Maneuver was most timely and doubtlesi
averted serious Injury to many In the crowd
Senator J. B Foraker emphasized the. un
larallcled scenes witnessed In Canton In
ils address from the historic platform this
afternoon. The crowd assembled toda >
about the McKinley home exceeded any bt-
ore seen. It was not only impossible lor
he women and children organized parade to
ltd room on 'lie street or the large Mc
Klnlcy lawn , but 2.400 school children hac
o be marched into the Whiting door yard ,
across Market street so as to be able to hear
he major's response to their greeting. Doorstep -
step talking wa * again out of the question.
Thousands could not get within hearing Uis
ancc of Major McKlnley'a voice. The scenes
of enthusiasm were made more glorious by
he thousands of flags carried by every ont
who marched. At one time there was a line
of countermarching paraders two miles Ions
Superintendent H. A. Kennedy of the
rievcland. Canton & Southern railway , which
nought in the last single delegation of this
nemorable campaign , and the Youngstown
ransporatlon committees cald there weie
11.500 tickets sold for that monster party
"Jelcgatlons from Warren and nearby towut
oincd with them. Nine special trains , 117
coaches In all. were required for the party.
Major McKlnley. with Mrs. J. G. Butler
and Roger Evans of Youngstown reviewed
he parade from the reviewing stand on
he front of the lawn.
SENATOR FORAKER ASSISTS.
Senator Foraker arrived from Canton about
> o'clock. He was met at the Valley Ela
tion by Mr. McKlnley , accompanied by the
citizens reception committee. The ride
: o the house in an open carriage was a
'ull mile and through the he-art of ihe
city. The approach of the two famous
3hloans , sitting side by side , was heralded
jy such a tremendous cheering all along the
line , that the throng at the McKinley home
caught the noise a half mile away , and
soon the ex'raordlnary ovation extended
nearly that distance. No attempt was made
: > y the distinguished visitors to get through
the surging mass of humanity into
the house. Mr. McKlnley and the sci.a'or.
arm and arm , mounted the speakers' plat
form , just as the dim twilight made
necessary the lighting of tbc electrical arch
overhead. As the bright Illumination n
them plainly visible , the great gathering
again took up the cheering and one of the
most enthusiastic sct'nes cf the evt-itful
campaign was witnessed. Governor MuIn -
Icy then Introduced Senator Foraker , who
responded with a brief . .ppcch , v.n n was
received with great enthusiasm.
Saturday's have been 'he notable days
of this notable campaign. This , the List
Saturday before the casting of t.ie ballots
which shall decide who -is to rule Ihe
destinies of 70,000,000 of people for the neM

volumeas the day advanced. Major Mc-
Klnley w-as called upon for a speech befo-e
9 o'clock and bad scarcely finished : rat
ere there was a demand for ano'nu'uii '

strations of the day In which were In
termingled the calls of smaller parties from
Michigan , Indiana , Ohio and other itutci
The first delegation today reached the

morning. It was composed of the tinplate
makers of Elwood , Ind. . who arrived on a
special train of nine coaches , and headed by
the uniformed McKinley Marching club of
Elwood. marched to the McKlnley home.
The crowd left the train with a round of
cheers , which continued until the IIOUHC wa&
reachd. When Major McKlnlcy appeared on
the pyrch the crowd gave him a most en
thusiastic demonstration. The party was
Introduced by James Swat mini , a member
of the company. In response Major McKln
