MR. BRYAN IS ALARMED CALLS OX ALL SILVER CLUBS TO GUARD TUB POLLS TUESDAY. Fears Some Evil Report May Be Circulated at the Last Mlnnte, and the Boys" Should Be Ready. LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 1. Mr. Br'an tonight sent the following dispatch to Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee at Chicago: "I suggest that you urgo all members of silver clubs throughout the United States to give the entire day Tuesday, if possible, to our cause. In States where the bolting Democrats have been allowed to use the party name it will be necessary for our people to warn voters against the deception, and at all polling places they will be useful to meet the misrepresentations which may be circulated too late to be answered by our speakers or through tho press. TUo gold syndicate and the trusts are fighting for existence, and we must bo prepared to meet them at every point. W. J. BRYAN." Mr. and Mrs. Bryan reached their home In this city at 10 o'clock to-day, after an absence of several weeks' duration. In order to be ablo to spend the day with their children It was necessary for Mr. Bryan to depart from the rule which he has Invariably followed since his nomination of not traveling on Sunday. They came from Council Bluffs, where they spent last night with friends, on their special train, covering the distanco In little over an hour. There were no stops or demonstrations on the way, as It was not known in advance whether the home coming would occur last night or to-day. There was quite an assemblage of personal friends at the Lincoln station, and the candidate and his wife were welcomed by many cordial handshakes. Immediately upon their arrival they were ushered into a carriage and driven directly to their residence. Mr. Bryan might have been anything but a presidential candidate, so quietly was tho day spent after reaching home. There were a few callers, but they consisted, for the most part, of fellow-townsmen, and none of them epent more than sufficient time to inquire after the personal welfare of Mr. Bryan and his wife. Mr. Brjan confessed to all that he felt the need of securing a good day's rest. He accordingy retired early in the afternoon, and wa still sleeping at 5 o'clock, Mrs. Bry?n standing guard at the door to prevent intrusion cf any kind. In the few words that he did sp ak to callers, Mr. Bryan assorted his unshaken confidence in the success of his ca'i&.Q, and he has never, since the beginning of the campaign, appeared more cheerful or more hopeful that he was today. He believes the people are thoroughly aroused and will sustain him at the polls, but said that if perchance they should fail to do so he would by no means consider the cause of bimetallism lost. He thinks that in the contingency of defeat at this time, immediate preparation should be begun for the campaign of 1900. The last day of the campaign will be devoted wholly to Mr. Bryan's own State, and will be a long and bU3y one. Leaving Lincoln at 6:30 a. m. to-morrow, he will go westward as far as Grand Island, and from that point return over another road in time to reach Lincoln at 3:30. making speeches of a few minutes' duration at all Important points going and coming. Ho will stop at Lincoln cn his return long enough to make a last address to the people of Jiis home town, and will then proceed to Omaha where. letwcen the hours of 7 and 12 o'clock, he Is expected to make from five to seven speeches. Immediately after the last speech In Omalia Mr. Bryan will return again to Lincoln, so as to bo here on election day. Mrs. Brvan will accompany her husbanJ through the State, but will not go to Omaha with him. Will Do,t IJrjxm'n Footstep. OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 1. One of the most exciting as v.ell as immensely interesting features of Ihis campaign will occur tomorrow, when William J. Bryan, In his rapid fiight through Nebraska, will be closely followed by Hon. John P. Irish, of California. Mr. Bryan will spend the dav along th Burlington road, 'starting his spechm. iking in the early hours in the morning, closing hi- campaign r Omaha Monday evening. Shortly after Mr. Bryan has commenced his addresses the special train carrying Mr. Trteh and other goM-stand.ini orators ot Nebraska will fol ow him closely. MISSING ALBERT POWERS. The Cuban Ajrent YV'.i Found Dementeel In Tennessee. CHICAGO. Nov. 1. Albert D. Powers, manager of the Cuban relief bureau of this city, has been found demented In Tennessee. News of hi3 discovery was telegraphed to tho Chicago police to-day by Col. J. D. Powers, of Owensboro. lather of the man whoso ellsappearance from Chicago a month ago mystified alike th rolice and t"rlt-nls of th mlssins manager. Col. Powers's telegram contained no details of his son's condition or wanderings and does not name the city in which he was found. The disappearance of young Powers lust at the launching of the ambitious project of the CuLon relief bureau gave rise to a belief at tirst that he had been murdered. Col. Powers, father of the young man. Is the president of the First National Bank, cf Owensboro, Ky.

Figures Indiana Will (Jive McKinley at Least U.I.OOO Plurality. Chairman Gowdy yesterday gave out the following statement of the political situation: "The campaign of ISO' will be recorded as one of the greatest contests In the history of Indiana politics. To-morrow the voters will settle, by ballot, the Issues upon which tlits campaign has been made. The people of Indiana realize that the country is threatened with a crisis which' can fce averted only by tho defeat of the freesilver Democratic party. And with an abiding faith in the intelligence and patriotism of the people, we are contidrnt that the result will be one' of-the most .decisive victories in favor of the Republicans ever given to any party in the State. "A conservative estimate of the situation at this time shows that Indiana will give a Republican plurality of not less than 25,000, and if, as we have reason to believe, a large per cent, of tho silent vote Is cant for the Republican ticket, the plurality may reach 60,010. "The Re-publican organization In Indiana Is so compact and perfect In every detail that we do not believe that any attempt by the advocates of free silver, by corruption or other methods, can effect any material change In the situation. "The Republicans will elect all of the thirteen Congressmen, sixty-one members of the lower house of the General Assembly and sixteen out of the twenty-five Senators to elect. With the nineteen Republican holdover Senators this will give us thirty-five in the Senate, a majority of twenty. The Republicans will have a majority of twenty-two In the House, giving us a majority on Joint ballot of forty-two. This will Insure the election of a Republican to the United States Senate to succeed Dat.lel W. Voorhees. "JOHN K. GOWDY. Chairman. THE KEXTICKY ESTIMATES. Blackburn Says Bryan Will Win hy ut Leant 1S.OOO. CINCINNATI, Nov. 1. - Senator Blackburn, who has been replying to Secretary Carlisle throughout Kentucky, spoke last night at Covington, Ky.; the home of Secretary Carlisle. Senator Blackburn said: "My estimate, which I consider conservative, gives Kentucky to Bryan by from RO'K) to 30.000. 1 would not compromise on 10,OO. Colonel Whallen and others assure me that Louisville will give Brvan a majority. The Republicans claim that district by o.OOO and upwards. They will not carry It by more than 3.0O0. at their best." "How do you figure yours, the famous 'Ashland (Seventh) district?" "My table is not by counties, but by precincts, and I give Settle 2.000 majority for Congress over Breckinridge. 1 was born and brought up in that district and I have lived there all my life, and I think I ought to know something about it. I spoke in Lexington to two Immense audiences, and never in my life have I ever spoken to such enthusiastic and determined people in Kentucky. Anyone who witnessed the o.itpojring must have been convinced that Democracy will be victorious in that district, beyond the shadow of a doubt. I speak at Paris Monday afternoon and at Frankfort that night. The Republicans claim both Bourbon and Frank.ln counties, but each will give Evan Settle a good majority. They are claiming my county, Woodford, but it will give Bryan and Settle a hundre'd majority." "How is the Tenth district, where you spoke before reaching Lexington?" "That district will given Bryan and Fitzpatrick 1.5'A and the Ninth will give Bryan and Thomas 1.003. on a conservative count. Berry will be elected to Congress In the Sixth, and that district will give Bryan 4.0h) majority." "How about the Eighth?" "It is a close contest, but John Thompson will be elected Congressman und Bryan will get a nice, neat majority." Senator Blackburn said that 9.000 people, nt least, were out. to hear him speak at Owensboro when he followed Carlisle last Wednesday, and be puts the Democratic majority in that district at CO). Ho says the Fourth will give several thousand majority for Bryan a"d Smith. The Senator is sure of Bryan and free-silver success. TEXAS IS IIOI IITFI L. Democrat and 1'optdlnts AH Split I'p, nml MrKIiiley .May Win. AUSTIN, Tex.. Nov. 1. The campaign, which Is now practically closed, has been one of the most exciting In the history of tho State for the reason that while the Democrats have been claiming the State as safe all along the line, the Republicans and Populists, with the assistance of the gold Democrats, have be-.n making such an Interesting fight that It has kept the Democrats busy beating the brush. Now that the election Is within forty-eight

hours tho situation, while it looks as if It were leaning favorably to Democracy, is In such a position as to be problematic. The situation is such that the Populists hold the balance of power and whichever way they go will tell the story, and In their present chaotic condition they are the uncertain quantity. Democratic State Chairman Blake says there will be 5u0,C00 votes cast in the State Tuesday, of which number Brvan and Sewall will get 275.000. Bryan and Watson McKinley and Hobart 125,030 and Palmer and Buckner 10,-0-W. Blake also says that the State Democratic tickc-t will be elected by anywhere from 50,000 to 75.000 majority. Chairman John Grant, of the Republican party, who h.-.s managed tho organization of the Republican party in Texas and Is In touch with every part of the State, also figures the total vote at 450,000. but claims from 2'5.000 to 210,000 votes for the McKinley electors and the Populist State ticket on the fusion arrangement. Conservative politicians figure out that of the 500.000 votes the Democrats are sure of 200.000 and the fuslonists, comprising the Republicans, Populists and gold Democrats, are also sure of 200,000, thus leaving 100.000 votes a the uncertain quantity. Of this number it Is estimated that most of it is a vestpocket vote that cannot be placed and it Is therefore very unreliable and cannot be depended on. The Republican leaders are arranging matters so as to have the Populists and silver Democrats waste their strength between the Bryan and Sewall and Bryan and Watson t'ekets In the hope that by this means they can get the Republican electoral ticket cafe in line. If they can be successful '.n dividing the vote they will undoubtedly get the McKinley electors. As to the congressional lists Democratic Chairman Blake Is claiming all thirteen districts, while the Republicans claim two and the Populists two. It Is safe to say that the Democrats will win in all but two districts. The Tenth and Sixth will go to Republicans and i'opulists unless a wonderful change takes pinee to-morrow. UrnnbltcanH Claim Tennessee. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 1. The campaign virtually closed yesterday, though there will be a few speeches to-morrow. Both Republican and Democratic committees claim the State. Democratic- Commltteman Coleman says Bryan will carry the Stato by 25,000 to 30,000, and Taylor, for Governor, by 17.000 to 20,000; Democratic Congressmen in the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth districts and the Legislature. The Republican committee claims McKinley will carry the Stato by 15.000; Tiliman, for Governor, by 20,000, four Congressmen certain, to wit: First, Second. Third and Eighth, and two doubtful. Seventh and Fourth. The committee also claims the National Democratic-Republican fusion candidate for Congress in thin (Sixth) district will be elected, and it Is claimed the Legislature will be Republican. The National Democratic committee claims that from 13,000 to 20.000 Democrat will not vote for Bryan, but will not give an estimate of how mny of them will vote for McKinley. The Populist committee refuses to give an estimate. National Democrats claim a Congressman in the Sixth and Tenth districts. Conservative men think the committee's claims are somewhat extravagant, especially the Republican committee's claims. Bryan, they estimate, will carry the State by 20,ooo. Taylor by 15.000, seven Democratic Congressmen certain, with the best show in the Third, district, and that Republicans ran only count on Congressmen from the First and 8econd districts. In the Tenth district I'aterson, National Democrat, may defeat Car mack, free-silver Democrat, but this Is not a certainty. A large vote will be polled, larger than for years, and this complicate estimates somewhat. 100,000 In Pciiunylvmila. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. l.-The campaign in Pennsylvania closed last night with the meetings that were helel all over the State. Although the electoral vote has been conceded to McKinley from the start. Republican orators have traveled up and down the State making speeches In behalf of their candidate. This activity has been due largely to two causes. First, the fact . that tho Legislature to b chosen on Tuesday next will elect a successor to United States-Senator J. Donald Cameron: second, the business-merfa rational campaign committee and the leading Republican crean-

izatlors in the large cities have provided an nrmy of speakers and the means of holding innumerable meetings nil over the State. The three leading candidates for United States Senator Governor Hastings. Jchn Wanamaker and State Senator Boies Penrose have iKen cn the stump elurlng the campaign and have spoken In nearly every county. The uncertain situation in several of the congressional districts Is the caup of much anxiety to the Republican leaders. In tho landslide of iwo years ago the Republicans elected twenty-eight out of thirty Congressmen, but the chances are that this yeor the Democrats will elect four or possibly six Congressmen. At the headquarters of the Republican State committee it '.s claimed that Pennsylvania will give McKln'ev and Hobart anywhere from 30.C0U to 300.0CO plurality. The Democratic chairman hopes to keep the Republican Plurality be'ow 100,000. The Palmer and Buckner followers, under the title of Jefferson!an Democracy, have a verv active organization In the State, and Chairman Given hope the ticket will poll from 40,000 to 30.000 votes. Roth Claim evr Jersey. TRENTON. N. J.. Nov. 1. The campaign in New Jersey has practically closed, and the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties are claiming the State. Chairman Franklin Murphy, of the Republican State committee, declarer, that McKinley will carry the State by between 40,000 and 50.000 and that they will secure the entire eight Congressmen and seven of the eight State Senators, nor would he be surprised If the lower house of the next Legislature were solidly Republican. Colonel L. Price, chairman of the Democratic State committee, claims the State for Bryan by from 10.000 to 12,000. and says the Democrats will get three or four Congressmen, live State Senators and a majority of the lower house. Kx-Senator WInton, chairman of the National Democratic State committee, concede the State to McKinley. and asks all gold Democrats to vote for Palmer, so as to give a total vote sufficient to permit hereafter the nomination of candidates by convention instead of by petition. The Republicans have been aggressive throughout the. campaign and prominent speakers have advocated their cause in every locality. On the other hand, the Fourth congressional district has been tho only section of the State where the Democrats have been active. This Includes Newark, Jersey City and Patterson, and it was through this district that Bryan spoke. Augustus W. Cutter is opposing Congressman Pitney for re-election in the Fourth. Xo Donht About Arknninn. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 1. Comparatively little Interest has been taken in the campaign in this State, the electoral vole being conceded by all to Mr. Bryan, but the public has eagerly watched political affairs In tho other States. Few speeches have been mado in Arkansas, except by local orators, the only campaign of consequence being made by congressional candidates in the Third and Fourth districts. Congressman Mcltae and Frledheim. his Republican opponent, in the Third district, closed their campaign Saturday. Terry, Democrat, in the Fourth, delivered his last campaign address yesterday, and Waters, his Republican opponent, will cloe tomorrow. The Democrats claim that they will return a full congressional delegation, but Frledheim and Waters elo not concede their defeat. The Democratic-Populist fusion electoral ticket wl.l be elected by about the normal Democratic majority, but there is likely to be considerable scratching of the three Populists by the Democrats. Chairman Armstrong, of the Democratic committee, estimates that Bryan will poll about 05.0O0 votea In tho State and McKinley about 35.0W. Chairman cooper, of the Republican committee, e-t-timates Bryan's vote at about S0.MX) and McKlnley's at about 30,000 to 43,000. Democrat Claim a Chnnre. HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 1. Chairman O. R. Flyer, of the Republican State central committee, makes the following statement: "A conservative canvass of this State, just completed, shows a plurality for McKinley of 30.000; will probably exceed this. State ticket will have a plurality of not le?s than 25.CX). Will elect four Republican Congressman. The House of Representatives will have not le.j than 200 Republican members out of a total of 232. Indications point to a. solid Republican Senate." To-day Alexander Troup, chairman of th Democratic State central committee, said: "At the last meeting of our committee I requested the various members to report the situation In their districts, giving estlrnates the very darkest tor Bryan and the (Continued on Second lffe.)

FIGURES ON RESULT

ESTIMATES BY" COl'XTIES OF M'KIXLEY'S PLl ItALITY IX THIS- STATE Show that the Ohio Man Will Carry Indiana by 21, GOO on n Conservative Calculation. NINE CONGRESSMEN AT LEAST THE LANDSLIDE MAY GIVE REPUBLICANS ALL DISTRICTS. The Minimum Republican Majority In the Leelulnture on Joint Ballot Not Less than Eight. The hottest sort of a fight has been kept up in Indiana to the end. The last week of the campaign has been one of bis demonstrations throughout the State by both parties. Incessant work by the county committees and manifestoes every few minutes by the State committees. Tho chief Incident of the week was a letter by Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State committee, Instructing the Republican election olfleers to count the votes for fusion candidates where they appear upon two tickets as though they were two different men. Tho natural effect of thl3 .vas to drive all Populists to vote the strai.-xht Democratic ticket, thus robbing the RepubU"an Sate ticket of the advantage gala?d by having a Populist State ticket in the field. It might also have lost the party a gooi many votes on moral grounds had the Republican arty or any considerable portisn of it sustained the chairman's view. However, the vcice of the party was unanimous In repudiating the letter, and Chairman Gow-lv bowed gracefully and'resclnded it. The last speech and the last demonstrations have been made. The last pret rations for election day have ben completed, and the last day before the ballots, with the lines all drawn for the fiir'it, will be occupied by Lie managers in figuring upon results. For over a month tne elrlft has been steadily for McKinley In lndiiaa. and It depends now upon which way the doubtful vote goes as to whether wo curries the State as low as 10.COO or by as high as 70.C0O. The Democratic managers decline to make an estimate by counties. Cha.rma t Martin declared last night that Bryan wo.i'd carry the State by from 33,000 to 40,000. He said these figures were not taken lrom a re 11, becau3e he would not regard any poll of the State this year as reliable. Wh-Je he would not admit it, the truth Is well known that his committee has never obtained anything like a complete poll o? tho State. "The silver Republicans," he said, will average three to the precinct, while the gold Democrats will average about one and one-half to the precinct. This makes about 10,000 silver Republicans and about 5,000 gold Democrats. On a party vote Indiana stands about where it did in 1S92 that is, 7.C0O Democratic. Add to this the 10,0o0 silver Republicans, the 20.CC0 Populists and 8.000 Prohibitionists who will vote for Bryan, and dc-eiuct the 5.000 gold Democrats and vou will have the size cf Mr. Bryan's majority in Indiana, which Is 40,000. Now I will throw on: a few thousand to give you good measure, and we have the Stale anywhere from KM) to 40,000." The Republicans figure directly f:om tbelt poll and while they nase cjmnu'.sms vpon. 11:2. they set aside all dgurea up n how the State has gone in the past and make their estimate from the knovklgc ti.ey have gained by three thorough cj.nvi'es oi the State. , , . , The estimate by counties given below is not guesswork, but a conservative ctrratc by a member of the State exe-utlv crmmlttee, made up from the returns, rfter placing in the doubtful column every vote ubout which there Is the lean doubt. nd crivinT thp Pnnnrracv 0 Der cent.

Every one of these, however, has the utmost faith In his election, and It Is not unlikely that the history of 1S01 will be repeated, when all the Republican congressional candidates ran away ahead of the rest of the ticket. This estimate gives the Republicans sixteen of the twenty-five State Senators to be elected this year, and makes sure fortyfour members of the House. Thes. with the nineteen holdover Senators they already have, mokes 79 of the 150 members of the Ler-is'ature. giving them a majority of eight on Joint ballot. THE CONGRESSMEN.

An Estimate on Hie Renult In the Thirteen Dintrlctn. The Republicans are sure to elect nine Congressmen, will probably elect ten and may elect twelve. The Journal reporter making the estimates given below has, within the past week, had nccess to the "figures" in every county, has talked with nearly even Republican county chairman In the State and compared notes with the candidates for Congress and other Republicans having intimate knowledge of conditions in various counties. The estimates given are the result of a careful digestion of the information and views drawn from these various sources. The Democrats and Populists have fused in nil but the First and Second districts. The Republican candidates are sure to be elected in the First, Fifth, Sixth. Seventh. Eigrhth. Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth districts. The Republican candidate. Mr. Hardy, will probably carry the Second and the Republican nominees may pull through in the Twelfth and Fourth, but the Third does not look very hopeful. In the First and Second districts the failure to fuse will give the Republican candidates an advantage over the national ticket. Therefore the estimates on the national ticket are set out separately in these districts. In the others the congressional and national tickets will not vary a great deal.

BALTIMORE. Md., Nov. L Cardinal Gibbons, in his sermon at the Cathedral thU morning, took occasion to touch lightly and in a thoroughly impartial way on the approaching presidential election and its results. He spoke In the highest terms of the many good qualities of the American people, such as their fundamental belief in religion, their love of fair play, their Intelligence and their courage, lib then went on to say: "We art on tho eve of a presidential election, both great parties contending for the mastery. They are leaving no stone unturned to be successful. A foreigner looking on and witnessing tho violent denunciation that one party Is uttering ugainst the other and the terrible predictions in regard to the future of the country if the other party were' to win, would think that we were on the verge of a dreadful revolution. On next Wednesday morning he woulu lind that it was but a bloodless revolution, one effected not by budets, but by ballots. A man is to bo chosen to the highest position In the gift of his fellows and Important Issues are at stake. Yet on next Wednesday morning the minority will bow gracefully to the wUi of the majority. The country will surviva and the Nation will flourish and be per-' petuate-d. Is this not good evidence that we are subject to the law? And the peoplo that bow so to civil law are not tho kind to reject divine law. "The Catholic Church adapts Itself to all kinds of men and all systems of government, but she is most nt home with us. She exists under the most absolute sway, but .che blooms like the rose under tho tree or liberty. Nowhero is he so free as here. She holds in her hands the scale of even-handed justice between capital and labor, tho employer and the employe. While she Is in sympathy with the tolling masses she knows how to curb their prejudices. In all times of political excitement her power for good is potent and she says to all, "Peace, be still.
