They might as well stop hoping on that account, for it Is not probable that the Republicans will lose a single Quaker vote. In fact, at sll demonstrations held here, the Cuakers have been in the lead ami taken the most prominent part, and Earlham College, which Is a Quaker Institution. Is made up almost entirely of Republicans. There Is no dissatisfaction among the Quakers here, and, for that matter, 1 have found none In any part

Congressman James E. Watson Is Just as busy as though there were no possibility of the Democrats defeating hi this year. He Is on the go all the time, making speeches In every part of the Sixth district, and when he has a few minutes to spare he goes Into some other district and tells why the Republicans

I feel certain that McKinley will also have a safe majority. This Is based on reports and polls from the most reliable sources and made under the most conservative circumstances, and I have no doubt that they are absolutely trustworthy.” These are the ante-election forecasts of three well-known leaders who have facta aiul figures whlah must have been secured from the most reliable sources.

There Is every reason for believing that election day will witness some scenes quite as stirring an those of last year when nerves were wrought up to such a pitch a few notches more of tension would have snapped them. The one struggle tn the State next In Importance to the Governorship contest is the race for Appellate Judge In the Beventh Appellate district Judge Kd O'Rear Is the Republican candidate
On the reeult in this district hinges the polltlea! majority of the Appellate bench. At present tho Democrats have a majority of one, but Chief Justice Hazelirigg. Democrat, retires In November, and if the Republicans elect O'Rear they will have a majority. The district as now arranged, having been gerrymandered since Judge HazetlJlqg's election. Is Republican, but the Democrats are said to be arranging to use the Goebel law for all It Is worth in the district, and are putting forth desperate efforts on the stump and Ih the retiks of the voters to prevent the succe** of Judge O'Rear. The political Importance of this partictlar race may be seen when it Is known that the Appellate Court will, after Nb'ember, be called upon to decide whether t ueb Powers. Jim Howard and Henry Vuitsey, convicted as accomplices In the murder of Benator Goebel, shall have new trials or not. WHERE BRTAN LIVES.

to reduce the Republican plurality In the district, and thus add to the strength of the Democratic ticket throughout the State. Mr. McKee Is a good orator and many people like to hear h m talk, whether they will vote for him or not. Of course Mr. Watson will be elected, and It Is only a question of the size of his plurality. The Sixth district Is In pretty good shape for the Republicans. It Is the district that sent Henry U. Johnson, of R.chmond. to Congress. Everybody liked Johnson, and It was with regret that the Republicans saw him leave their party. That he will have Intluence enough to gain votes for the Democratic party In any county In the district Is not admitted by the Republicans. Some of the Democratic leaders are Inclined to rejoice because Johnson Is with them. The fact that Johnson Is now a Democrat simply caused the Republicans to work all the harder to overcome any Intluence that his change In political faith might have. Mr. Johnson was elected, the last time. In 1S!>6. He carried Fayette county by 514, Henry county by 1.093. Rush county by 240, I’nlon county by 1*9 and Wayne county by 2,562. He lost Franklin county by 1.091, Hancock county by BHK, and Shelby county by 692. The total Democratic vote In the district was 21.967. The total Republican vote was 24.083. giving Johnson a plurality of 2.218. The presidential ticket the same year, In the same district, was elected by 2.449, or 233 more than Johnson received for Congress. Last Vote for Watson. In 1891) James E. Watson made his first race for Congress In the present sixth district. He had defeated W. 8. Holman In the Sixth district as formerly constituted. and was heralded all over the country us ’'the man who beat Holman." This Is his vote for 1898:

Totals.... ...2,261 4.458 This gives Watson a plurality of 2,191. wnlle the State ticket had a plurality ot 2.291. Watson thus running within 94 votes of the State ticket. Every Indication Is that Walson will have a larger plurality this year than he had in 1898, a id that the State and national tickets will have a larger plurality than Watson received. In Fayette county the Repuo-
1 say that they MU' the county Franklin coun-
ty Is a reliable Democratic stronghold, but it has had trouble with Its county atfulrs. and the Supreme Court recently rendered a decision In favor of some cltlscAs who were not satisfied with the way tho public books of Franklin county were kept. It Is thought that the dissension there will reduce the Democratic plurality beiow what It was In 1S98, when the Democrats carried the county by 980. There are some Republicans In Hancock county who think that they can win there This Is extremely doubtful. There are a good many gold Democrats In Hancock county, but the larger part of them has returned to the Democratic fold.

the Republicans are having about as much trouble among themselves as the Democrats are, and It is generally believed. in Shelby county, that a good many Indlctmenls were brought more for political effect than for the purpose of reforming the political morals of the county. H l» hard to estimate Shelby coupty'p vote, but the most conservative men In both parlies say that Shelby will probably give a Democratic plurality of about 5u0. Little Union county can always be depended upon to go Republican. The soldiers down In that county—and there are lota of them—are lighters at th« t olls, as they were lighters in the ranks But the banner Republican county In the banner Republican district is old Wayne. Wayne county never wavers. On Stale and national Issues It has been Republican ever since It was a county. Once In a while It slips a cog and lets a Democrat get into a county office, but when lhat happens It le for the purpose of disciplining the Republican party into making better nominations. The leaders insist that they are going to give the Republicans a plurality that will be close to 3,500. 1 believe this Is a little high, in 1898. on the State ticket, Wayne was Republican by 2.299. In 1890. on the national ticket, Wayne was Republican by * Vf the managers In Wayne county pull ut with 2.900 of 3,000 they will be doing rell. In Richmond there are a number
of factories, employing many men. and the greater part of these are Republicans. The Democratic x-ote In the factories Is small, and that will be cut down by the Debs vote. The railroad vote In Richmond and Cambridge City Is largely Republican. There will be no material changes In the railroad and labor vote of Wayne, except that the Debs movement will cut in some on the Democrats. In 1896 Wayne dounty gave 33 gold standard votes, but that did not represent onetenth the number of sound money Democrats In th* county. The majority of the sound money Democrats In Wayne county stand luet where they did In 1898.

Richard Buchanan Is home. He got In Sunday from the neighborhood of Llcksklllet, Ind., and Is the same valiant Democrat as when he went away—after listening to the tirades of his Republican neighbors, swallowing his Adam's apple and saying nothing. His absence from his home at 3135 North New Jersey street was due to the fact that he had a vacation coming. It was for two weeks —the vacation was—and he arrived home Saturday afternoon, because, as with many another good man. the usual telegram asking for "three days more.' - was turned down by his employer, and the usual answer sent: "Report for duty Monday morning.' So he wondered when he would be his own boss, when

CARROLL COUNTY HAPPY.
That lg the Democrats Are, Over
Bryan’s Coming Visit. fApeclaJ to The IndlanapollB
DELPHI. Ind.. October 30.—Carroll county Democrats are In high glee over the announcement that Mr. Bryan will speak here next Thursday. The local committee had hoped that It could secure Mr. Bryan on his return West, but had advertised the big meeting for Friday. The date for the big day of the campaign In Carroll county was changed when It was learned that Mr. Bryan will be here Thursday. Already thousands of bills and posters have been circulated over the country announcing Bryan day, and If there are less than 15.000 people here Thursday, It will be a great disap-
pointment to Democrats.
Mr. Bryan will arrive In the city at
10:66 and will spend an hour here, speaking from the same stand as did Mr. Hanna on hts recent visit here. That Mr. Bryan Is to spend an hour In Delphi Is due to the fact that Senator Hanna was here for about the same length of time. Mr. Bryan will make several other

His remarks were free from partisan bitterness. He plainly shows the strain of the campaign, appearing feeble and tired. Thomas Taggart spoke for ten minutes. preceding the candidate, and predicted Democratic saccess all along the line. In passing out of the hall he fondled every baby he came to. taking one In his arms. An old Democratic enthusiast hailed him as a "second Hol-

Political Train Stoned.
[Special to The Indianapolis News.] FRANKFORT. Ind.. October 30—Last

It was all plain to him. but that did not alter the situation, i nd he straightway fell lo saying things Then there was an attack on McKinley lhat would put the efforts of "Pitchfork'' Tillman to shame. It was all over tn an Incredibly short space of time, but there promises to be developments that will start a feud equal to the Phllpot pleasantry In Kentucky, or an orderly lynching In South Carolina. Mr. Buchanan Is now at work, but he Is doing a side line as a detective. He still remains true to the Democracy of Bryan, and If his neighbor.) continue their political mass plays and drop kicking he may vote for the Nebraskan thirty-five times.

Chairman of the National Gold Democratic Committee Discusoes the
Political Outlook.
"The candidate who will say that 'Great is Tammany, and Croker is Its prophet,' Is killed politically, as sure aa fate. The people of New York will never see the leader of Tammany Hall dictating the policy of the White House, and I believe the people of the country at large are just as hostile to such a situation.” Gen. Charles Tracey, of Albany, N. Y.. chairman of the gold Democfat national committee, last night expressed the New York opinion of the Bryan-Croker alli-
ance In the foregoing words.
"Bryan threw away the State of New York." he continued."or whatever chance he had in the State, when he made that expression. It Is not so much the domIratlon of Croker to which our people object- The feeling would be Jhe same If p.ny other man had Keen at the head of Tammany, and Bryan had referred to him In such terms.

No OrMtingg Exchanged at Elmira— The Governor’s Itinerary—Last Night’s Rioting Discussed. ELMIRA, N. Y., October 30.—The Roosevelt party made an early start westward to-day. Many stops were scheduled for the tour, ending in Rochester to-night. The general conversation of the party was of the riotous times of last night. Governor Roosevelt said that the first attack on the carriage In which he and Benator Fassett were tiding came
from small boys.
“I saw the boys ‘Are' the vegetables and decayed fruit," said the Governor, “and a few sticks also were thrown." “It was a body of grown men. however, who pushed up against the carriage and thrust lithographs of Stanchfleld In my face. Several times It looked as If It was the Intention of the crowd to rush us out of the carriage, but a number of men on horseback gathered around
and prevented that."

The first speech of the morning was scheduled for Corning at 8:25 o’clock. An Incident of the morning was the passing of three presidential trains at Elmira. Candidate Woolley, of the Frohltlon party, went by one on one side of the Roosevelt train and Mr. Bryan went by on his train a few minutes later, no courtesies being exchanged. Speak* at Corning, t It was raining hard when the train reached Corning, but there was a dense crowd awaiting It. The Governor remarked: “More umbrellas than 1 have ever seen In my life before." It was some time before the Governor could speak because of the cheering, but finally he said: "It Is perfectly evident that Corning has not been daunted by its reception tn Elmira, last night.

Tammany’s Boss Tells Voters What to Do on Election Day. NEW YORK, October 30 —"My advice to Democratic, voters the country over la to congregate about the polling places on the evening of election day, count noses, and then. If the election returns for Bryan don't tally with their count, to go Into the polling places and thn those fellows in charge of the returns

Into the street." This startling recommendation, which was made by Richard Croker at Tammany Hall during the course of a talk on several subjects, caused politicians In general to open their eyes, and many compared It with David B. Hill’s remark of some months ago. when. In a speech referring to McCullagh's depu-
ties, he said:
“If any man attempts to stop you from voting, take a club and knock him down.” Croker’s remark was In answer to a query concerning the political outlook, and especially with regard to Bryan's chances In New York snrre: The Tam-
» in New vork Stnre.—The Tammany chieftain requested the publication of his advice on this particular subject. "Bryan will not only carry New York State,” said Croker, "but he will carry It by a big majority, and he will run the same way all over the country. He will be elected as certain ns his name la Bryan. I never felt so confident of a thing In
my life.
“Of course, the Republicans are going to resort to all kinds of tricks and crookedness to cheat him out of the election. I know thla to be true, and that is why the Democrats want to be on the alert. "They are going to buy votes, and those they can't buy they are going to pay to stay at home. But they are going to try something worse than that. They are going to try not to count thousands of Democratic votes, and this Is what we have got to look out for. Every man who votes for Bryan should see that his vote Is counted, and there Is only one way to do that safely." Then followed his advice to Democratic voters to "count noses" and "throw those fellows tn charge of the returns Into the
street."
"This cheating." he resumed, “won't be tempted so much In the cities as In untry towns, nnd that Is where the

“While the gold Democrats have not had as effective and us complete an organisation as they had four years ago, still they have done a great deal, particularly In places where their work was needed, and I am proud of the part we have had in the campaign that will be the death of Bryanlsm. The address Issued by the gold Democrats has had great Influence. and then we have had a large

Tha Board will Not Register Frank Juarbe, Declaring He is
Not a Citizen.
NEW Y'ORK, October 3n.—The application of Frank Juarbe, a Porto Rican, for a peremptory writ of mandamus directing the hoard of registry to register him as a voter on the ground that he became an American citizen by virtue of the cession of Porto Rico by Spain to the United States, has been denied by Justice Freedman, in the Supreme Court. Justice Freedman, in his opinion, cites Article 4 of the constitution of the United States, stating that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of tho United States and of the State where they reside. Tho moving papers, he says, show that Juarbe was not born In the United States and do not show that he was naturalized. Justice Freedman. In his decision, says that the treaty tn taking over the Island of Porto Rico did not make the inhabitants of tho territory citizens of the United States, but on the contrary, left the determination of their civil rights and of their political status to the future action of Congress, and, he says. Congress has not yet acted. He therefore denied the motion to compel the board of registry
to enroll Juarbe.

His View* of the Political Situation
in Indiana.
Republican State Chairman Hernly today gave out a statement containing his views on the situation in Indiana. He says there la nothing In the declarations of the Democrats that they will carry the State, as they have been making the same assertions since '94. and the State has been in the Republican columns continuously since then. The conditions, he thinks, are the same as they were In '94. when there was a Republican landslide. The farmers, miners, railroaders and oth-
er branches of labor, he says, have never

anltes have claimed 95 per cent, of
iry-
_ the gold Democrats, have claimed the tr ellng men, the gas belt voters, tho farmers. the Germans and then the Quakers. He can see nothing that bears out these claim*. He says that the Republicans have carefully polled the State three tlmee, and. without giving figures, he desires to assure the party that the returns are satisfactory, and prove that the assertions of the Democrats are a "We shall carry three congressional districts, in which the plurality in anyone will be larger than the plurality of the Bryanltes In all of the districts they can carry put together," says he. "We shall elect eleven Congressmen In Indiana, and nobody knows that better than the Bryan managers and the gentlemen who are running for Congress on the tickets In those districts. We shall have both branches of the Legislature, and the plurality for McKinley In Indiana will be larger than ever was given to a Republican candidate for the pres-
idency."
To Buy Election Boards.
Continuing. Chairman Hernly says: "We have positive Information that a systematic attempt will be made by the Democrats to buy election boards throughout the State, the same as was

use the State of Indiana for tho same purposes that they have used the city of Indianapolis—that Is, to sell bonds and borrow money to run the State government. But the honest, patriotic people of Indiana, will not subscribe to Mr. Taggart's boodle proposition, and when he attemp* to spread out over the State he will find that the people will repudiate
him at every turn.
"There has been a systematic effort on the part of this same Taggart machine to trade off Bryan votes for votes for Kern, but this has been so vehementlydenied by Mr. Kern that the probabilities are that they will drop that. Still
