On the night before the battle , serene and unbounded con fidence reigns In the headquarters' camp of the democratic party , aad In that of their republican rivals as well. On neither Bide Is there a shadow of a doubt of the re-suit of the struggle , and , In fact , so sure arc the tvro parties of victory , that there is on both sides a feeling of astonlnhment that the other fellow has the audacity to claim anything at all.

Nov. 2. On the eve of ele-ctlon the- lines of the two great parties arc In practically about the same condition as when the situation was outlined forty-eight hours earlier. The admission of Chairman Jonee that this state could be classed among those In the "doubtful" column has not been over encouraging to tbo managers of * the state election on the democratic side . but they have not weakened In the least and Kay tonight that they are sure of carrying the state by a majority of from 25,000 to 10 000. They claim fourteen out of twenty- one congressmen , u majority of the lower house In the ctate legislature/ eay that with the aid of the populists to be elected they w-Ill elect n silver man to be the suc- ct'Esor of Senator John M. Palmer. The claims of the republicans are more exten sive. and. with two or three exceptions , they claim every one of the congressmen , all of the etate ticket and the electoral vote for McKlnley by anywhere from Sfi.OOO to 150- 000. They eay that they are absolutely sure of the result of the ntate and national tickets , us the poll of the state , which they liave been conducting , has been so thorough and so exact that there Is very little chance of any estimate made upon U being far out of the way. Allen Maxwell , the candidate for state auditor on the democratic silver ticket , sent word to Chairman Jones today that he had discovered "a plan of the republicans to ttcal the election In Lawrence county. " The re-publicans were disposed to ridicule the story and said that If anybody was caught trying to steal the election , no matter to whom he might be about to try to deliver It , they would join hands with the demo crats In prosecuting him. The struggle In the Fifth congressional district has been ono of the hottest of the campaign and Con gressman White , who Is pltte'd against E. T. Noanan , the fusion candidate , and Dr. John A. McDonnell , an Independent repub lican. Is having a sharp fight for election. Of the other Chicago congressmen , Cook of the Sixth district and Foss , In the Seventh , seem fairly well assured of , re-election. The opposition against them seems to be badly split up. The republicans say that they will have all the congrc smen In the nortncrn part of the state ) by Icrge majorities , and the only men they stand to lone ore from the roiillieru portion , where they admit they have no bright chances of winning out. They are. however , they assort , absolutely euro of carrying by far the larger portion of the congressional delegation.

( Special. ) The closing day of the campaign In this city was marked by an almost total cessation of the ordinary business of the day. Worklngmen. clerks , business men. lawyers and artlssns have naraded the streets since early morning. dressed In their Sunday clothes and Inter ested In nothing apparently but the out come of tomorrow's contest. The Bryan parade of this afternoon was a pltUblc farce. Five eighths of It was composed of hobble-do-hoy boys , under elghte-cn ; three- eighths of shouting women and children and one-eighth legal voters and brass band rlaycrs. The republicans of Lincoln are confident and are claiming the county for McKlnley by fully 2,000. They have perfected a splen did organization In each and every precinct and a full republican vote will be polled. A vigilance committee has been appointed In every precinct to see that every repub lican vote IB got out , and not Intimidated at the polling places. Chairman Stephenson furnished the following statement for pub- Bent Ion today : The campaign Is closed with the ex ception of counting the ballots. The followers of Bryan and re-pudlatlon are dectlm-d to be the v.-orst surprised rem- nunts of political parties that ever ad- \ocate d n hopeless caus < p. For the past two weeks they have flooded the streets with all forts of campaign dodgers for the wind to blow about , attacking every body. Intimidating voters and threat ening election otllcers. For weeks the opposition has been fighting with a dis organized and desperate effort that will avail them nothing but crushing de feat. The free silver campaign has de scended Into one of fraud and forgery and fit-nscless and foolish claims. For weeks we have been ready to BO to the polls at any hour fully confident of the result. We have no charges to make , no iipologleto offer for any one nor no characters to defend ; but submit our cause o.uarely upon Its merits as for the best Interests of all the people of the whole country. Below we give a statement of the majorities McKlnley will receive In Lincoln : First ward . SM St-cond ward . . . 1 Third -warel .

The republicans of Lincoln closed the campaign tonight with a fire works parade and two monster mass meetings. The prin cipal speaker was Hon. John 1' . insn. tne noted California orator , who met Bryan In Joint debate at the Crete Chautauqua July 4. The distinguished orator spoke at both the Funke and Lansing theaters , deliver ing a one-hour's address at each meeting- Hon. I. W. Lansing , the singing pilgrim , who has been making speeches In the east nd south , divided the time with Mr. Irish at the Funko. W. S. Summers assisted Mr. Irish at the Lansing theater. The mass meetings were preceded by o parade of the uniformed and ladle's' clubs and a fireworks display. The demonstration was the most brilliant of any teen In Lin coln during the campaign. Mr. Iriflh spoke at the Lansing first and at the Funke next. Hon. N. S. Harwood , thu well known -sound money democrat , presided at the Lansing meeting aud Hon. C. H. Gere * t the Funke meeting. Mr. Iritb llkencxl the present repudiation and anarchistic Chicago platform to the nullification acts of South Carolina , which we-re prompily stamped out by Andrew Jack son without the army or navy and without the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. Ho urged all sound money voters , Irrespective of party affiliations , to crush the head of the nullification snake at the polls tomorrow , and prophesied that even though the tall should dlo hard , the entire snake * would be dead as a door nail by Wednesday noon. Ono by ono he nailed Bryan's fallacious arguments for the demolition of the su preme court , national banks , railway cor porations and Insurance companies , and clearly proved to the voters present that In America there Is fusion between the masses and classes and not the discrimina tion claimed by populists and demagogues. After holding populist rule in Kansas up to the deTlslon of the whole country. Mr. Irish captured his house by characterizing Mary Ellen Lease as a Bryan in petticoats and Bryan as a Mary Ellen Lease In trousers. The speaker protested against the non- contract of the Chicago platform and went into the coinage question fit length. declaring that if It was the dollar of ' 73 which the Bryanltes want , they would have to coin a dollar which would telescope , readily to keep pace with the fluctuations of the silver market. As to there being less money In circulation now than some little time ago. he admitted that there was a great deal less In circula tion on the very day following Mr. Bryan's nomination , than upon the aay proceeding it. In conclusion he urged i.ound money voters to bury the Chicago platform so deep tomorrow that the third trump of Gabriel's born will not rouse It on the resurrection morn. Among the Omaha men on the stage were. Euclid Martin and Lee Spratiln. The meet ing was held under the auspices of the sound money democracy , as was also the overllow meeting at the Funke.

BITTERLY OPPOSED BY THE BRYANITES free Sliver Miontern Attempt to Ilrenk I'll ' Severn ! .MeetltiKN nml Pre vent tUe MieuUrr from Unparalleled In western politics were the scenes attendant upon John P. Irish's flying trip through the farms , the hamlets and the cities of Nebraska yesterday. Old campaign- ire who have stood In the forefront of many a political battle eay that the closing day of this most sensational campaign was without an equal in the enthusiasm dis played and the crowds that attended upon the meetings arranged by the sound money democracy for the orator from the Pacific slope. Coupled , however , with the fairly decorous treatment accorded the orator , who was born In Iowa and who dignified his native state by an upright , honorable life , were situations that showed how greatly the people were wrought up over the class prejudices preached by the popocratlc candidate , Wil liam J. Bryan. At Fairmont , In Flllmore county , the Irish special was hooted and Jeered , nnd when Mr. Irish endeavored to speak the crowd of 3.000 would not allow him to be heard , , although he appealed to them us men who held dear the right of free speech to accord him the same consid eration KK sound money republicans and democrats had accorded Mr. Bryan but an hour before. In epeakliig of the attempt to choke off free spicch Mr. Irish eald : "The first thing necessary to the general enlight enment of the friemen of the country Is the absolute freedom of speech. Free spttch U the first and highest American birthright , the foundation of good government , the guar anty of perpetual liberty. The political party which advlMs Its followers to stay away from discussion of all sides of every political Isruo or advises them to be present only to prevent such discussion and assassinate free speech Is a party In Its essence treasonable to the republic , and managed by leaders whose conduct Is cowardice , seasoned with treachery. Supporters of Mr. Bryan by their conduct In this campaign In many states their denial of free speech , their proffer of mob violence , have convinced the American people that nullification and treason , rotten morals , rotten manners , rotten money and rotten government have tbctr only and ap propriate expression In the rotten eggs which are the arguments addressed to the people by supporters of Mr. Bryau. " At Crete , where argument Is supposed to have Its highest education , some membero of the party accompanying Mr. Irish were compelled to go among the crowd collected at the station ecd forcibly Insist upon a proper hearing being accorded Irish and Mr. Mahoney. While the crowd was large-ly for McKlnley , small groups of men and women termed to get together by concerted action and by vociferous demonstration try to cm- harass and rattle the speakers. But above the Jeers and yells of the mobs at Fairmont and Crete. Irish and Mahoney forced atten tion and In that neutralizing the harangues of Bryan. Whether tfie men and women carrying white badges were advised to thus treat the Irish parti" Is net known , hut cer tain It Is that In some cases their efforts were decidedly effective. PERSONNEL OF THE PAnTY. Mr. Irish , accompanied by Lee Spratlcn , was met at Pacific Junction yesterday morn ing according to the schedule prepared for his trip through the South Platte coun try and the ewlng crouod the circle com menced. The special train was made up of an engine In charge of H. T. Beatty , spe cial ear No. 34 and a day coach , the train being operated by Assistant General Pas senger Agent A. B. Smith of the Burlington and Assistant Superintendent English ofthe northern division. The morning was cold and foggy , but by 8 o'clock people began U congregate at the small stations along the route , greeting the train as It passed with cntbuMasm. In addition to those already mentioned there were Included in the party Euclid Martin. T. J. Mahoney , C. S. Montgomery Jume E. North. J. E Kclby. Judge J. C. Crawford of West Point , W. A.

Mr. Irish began to unlimbcr himself for his day's campaign. The party was in the best of spirits , to be suddenly plunged In sadness on account of the Fpe- clal crashing Into the rear end of a freight train and Instantly killing a traveling ninu The engine hauling the Irish party was con siderably used up. while the caboose and ono freight car were completely shattered. The Jar accompanying the striking of the rear of the freight train threw a number of the party off their feet , dislocating the shoulder of Assistant Superintendent English and bruising others. But no other Eerlous Injury occurred. SPEAKS AT SEWARD. At Seward a crowd of people were con gregated , the arrival of the special being greeted by the playing of a brans band. Mr. Irish spoke from the station platform anil was accorded the closest attention. He cald he came to them as a man who wa < = seeking to bury his party affiliations for his country's honor. That patriotism should 1)0 placed high above every other considera tion , for he believed these dayij of 18 % were almost similar to the days of IKfil. He then touched upon the nullification spirit of the Chicago platform and asked all good citizens to Etamp out this spirit as did Andrew Jackoon when he put his "hickory heel flown upon the serpent , which remained crushed until its hiss echoed in Chicago in July , and resulted In the choice of William J. Bryan , a bolter from his party , as the poporratlc nominee. " At York the Irish party encountered a Bryan crowd and for prudential reasons It was thought best to have Irish Epcak from the court house steps. Instead of from the platform occupied by Bryan. Two thousand people faced the speaker as lie mounted the steps , and the cheers for McKlnle-y showed that York county would give a good account of Itself on election day. Mr. Irish having been furnished with the salient points ot Bryan's speech , started In to meet the popocratlc nominee on his own proposition In regard to the per head money circulation. "I want to ay right here. " said Irish , "that there was lees money In circulation the day after Bryan's nomination than the day before. His nomination brought about * conditions which now threaten to overthrow law and order and bring thU country upon a level with Mexico , China end Japan. And If Mr. Bryan loves these nations GO well. I bid him godspeed to them. " He then touched on the whef.t quw- tlon , ntatlng that lie had Just received a v.-rc from Chicago Indicating that wheat had advanced - cents over Palurday's clos ing prices , because of the demand abroad. Aurora turned out a thousand people to hear Irish and the predominance of McKln ley badges and gold colors showed how high the feeling was running. The rpeakrv tosk up the nuuttiun of contract sought to be Invalidated by the Chicago platform. He followed It through the varying ohangeli frcm the marrUn ( relation 1o the employe's contract and called upon hli hearers to lcup : It Invlolstc by their votes. "As for the crime of 1873.

The republican campaign In Douglai ouuty ended last night with the most re markable political demonstration ever seen u Nebraska. Never before was such a manifestation of public sentiment witnessed n Omaha. Sound money enthusiasm rau lot. It was echoed by the tramping feet f 15,000 voters marching under the banner f McKluley and MacColl. It gleamed In many torches which reemed to populate the ntlrc center of the city with scintillating tars. It rang in the shouts of the cnthus- astlc marchers and found response In the wild cheers of the thousands who lined the urbs and filled the windows of the butld- ugs. It rose again In the Inspiring strains f twenty bands and filled the atmosphere vlth buch rampant exuberance of patriotic entlment as has not been known In presl- cntlal campaigns since the American peo- ilo faced the Issue of freedom for the slave. Nothing could be more Mgulfleant than uch a spectacle. It war not a parade of he ward workers mid professional poll- Iclaus. Hundreds of grey-haired men narched In the ranks , who had taken no nc- Ivo part In politics for years. There wcro HisltifsE men , bankers , lawyers , physicians nd worklugmcn who had never before pnr- Icipated ! n such a demonstration. But ait night they marched for three hours nd helped to swell the parade In propor- lans that emphatically Indicated that Doug- as county will do its duty In the gcat ontest of today. The most tuugutne anticipations of the opubllcan managers were far exceeded. It md been expected that it would be the btg- ; cst demonstration ever seen in Omaha , lut It was more than that. It was fully wlcc as big an the bluest of previous ears , and more than twice as enthusiastic. A dozen Fourth of July celebrations wcro concentrated 'n one ticmcnclinic burst of hunderous clamor. From the early evening until long afcr the parade was over the noise was deafening end Incessant. The cheers of the multitude were drowned in ho blare of thoussndB of horns , the Inces sant fusillade of the sbotcuu brigades and he music of the bands. The city WHS ablaze with red fire and the tsy ! was lit by the ascending rockets and 'bombs. And in the ntdst of It all a candidate for the presidency came and went , hit- advent as unntfllccd as the chirp of a cricket beside the thunder ol a battery of twenty-pounders. CELEBRATION COMMENCES EARLY. Although the paiade was delayed In order hat Mr. Bryan might have the right of way o his hall the people began to gather on the streets soon after supper. They hung on he street cars by fmscrs. toes and eyelashes end for a couple of hours every downtown car was weighted to Its capacity. Most of he voters were congrciutlng ut their ward leadquarters to march In the parade and their wives and daughtiro and sisters and sweethearts came down town to stand on tbo sidewalks and cheer them as they pae > sed. This was In Itself u feature that would have > ecn Impossible In an nrdjnary campaign. In the crowd on the streets wcro thousands of women , who necinrd to be as thoroughly enthused as the men who inarched past them. They cheered until they were hoarto and clapped thiir hands and waved their handkerchiefs. Many of them had horns and they stood on their toes and blew them is energetically ae though the result of the election depended on tlulr Individual ef forts. Here and there a knot of Bryan shoot ers had congregated with the expressed tn- entlou of interfering with the parade. But hey changed their minds as the solid line of men marching from curb to curb tramped last them and the ImmctiFe army marched through the crowded streets without any material disorder. The presence of a heavy detail of police contributed materially to this result. There were a half dozen active bluecoats on every corner and the prospect of a night In a cell was not encouraging to the few hoodlums who were disposed for trouble. Soon after 7 o'clock thr various organiza tions began to form In dlvlslonH. It was a difficult task to mobilize such un array , jut It was finally successfully accomplished. Some of the clubs were a little out of their aligned order , but the constant exertloim of the marshals brought them into a better alignment than Is usually effected In a po litical parade. It was nearly ' . ' o'clock when Chief Marshal Frank E. Moores gave the order to march and the heart of the proccs * slon started from Eighteenth and Douglaj streets. As It passed donn Douglas street the varlouti divisions filed into line and for the first time the iir.mentity of the affair became uppaieiit. The men were massei ! as thickly as possible. The ranks marched In compact order and in many CBKCB fifteen and twenty abreast. Even then the parade was nearly two milt's lung , and the head had passed back up J'ciMtm. around tbo city hall and was counteringchlng at Sixteenth and Nicholas streets before the last division had fallen into line on Douglas Hired.
