TOPEKA STATE JOUKNAI EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1900.
ELECTION
Republican and Democratic Politicians and Newspaper Corre
spondents Give Out Estimates-
Payne, Manley, New York Herald and New
York Republican Headquarters, Say
a Landslide For McKinley.
New York. Oct. !4. Daily bclletics
are being issued now from the various
campaign headquarters as to the man
ner in which the electoral votes will be
cast of the forty-five states in this union.
Following are some of the forecasts
made. from Republican and Democratic
standpoints:
REPUBLICAN FORECAST.
The Republican campaigners at the
national headquarters have received a
number of reports during the past week
Trom ail parts of the country in regard
to the political situation, and as a result
of them Senator Nathan B. Scott of
West Virginia said yesterday that he
had made up this table which showed
about what the Republicans expect to
get. This table gives to McKinley 2S4
votes in the electoral coiieg-e. allows 11
to Bryan, and places 51 in the doubtful
column, 27 of them being- probably Re
publican. Here is Senator Scott's table:

Vice Chairman Henry C. Payne of the
Republican committee is the author of
Tbe Piep-ubiican forecast. It was made
by him partly in reply to the foregoing
Democratic table, though, aside from
that Mr. Payne declares that his divis
ion of the electors is based upon entire
ly trustworthy reports from every state
about which there is any room for areri

electoral voters as certain, and. on the
claim that the Republicans have an even

"We have an even chance with the

formation tipon which these claims are
made is both doubtful and qualified.
TT.T.INOIS RATHER DOUBTFUL.
In the middle west the Herald finds
that Illinois and Indiana and the other
states that went for McKinley In lSittJ
will support him this year. As to Illi
nois', however, "Cook county is the key
to the situation. If the Democrats get
a very large plurality there, the state is
doubtful and likely to go to Bryan.
Alschuler, the Democratic candidate for
governor, may be elected over Tates,
the Republican candidate, and the fight
between Senator Cullom and Governor
Tanner for the control of the legislature
may give it to the Democrats, resulting
in the election of a Democrat from Illi
nois." The farmer vote Is depended upon to
hold Indiana in line for McKinley. Kan
sas is given to the Republican candi
date by a p.robable plurality of 12,0u0,
North and South Dakota are also placed
in the Republican column
Minor changes are touched upon In the

Manley'a Figures.
Joseph H. Manley, of the Republican
national committee, is so sure now that
Indiana. i3 in the Republican column of
etates that he today gave out what will
doubtless be his final forecast of the
campaign. He figures that McKinley
and Roosevelt will carry 26 states, giv
ing the Republican ticket 2S1 votes.while
the Democrats will carry 14 states, giv
ing Bryan US electoral votes, and they
wiil also appropriate the electoral vote
cf Kentucky, although Mr. Manley says
the Republicans will undoubtedly carry
the state. Idaho. Colorado, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska and Utah are con
sidered doubtful by Mr. Manley, who
says, among other things: i
"On October 3 I gave the probable re
sult of electoral votes, assigning to Mc
Kinley and Roosevelt 26S votes. The poll
rtrcei-el at the headquarters from the
several states corroborates fully the es
timate I gave -on October 3. and places,
an addition, Indiana in the sure Republi
can column. If we add to tne 81 votes
the 13 votes of Kentucky, which are
surely to be cast for the Republican
ticket, it will make 2&4 electoral votes,
an 1 McKinley and Roosevelt will hon
estly receive these votes, but we do not
expect these Kentucky electoral votes
to be giver, as they are cast.
'The following states will undoubtedly
be carried by th Repub''cans:

New Tork Life's Idea.
For the purpose of getting unprejudic
ed opinions as to how the electoral votes
of each state will be cast the New Tork
Life Insurance company has for the past
two months been sending out circulars
offering souvenir albums to each person
who would send in his estimate of the
result in every state and particularly of
the result in his own state. Up to Thurs
day night 44, MS answers had been re
ceived. They came from every state and
territory and from policyholders and
non-policyholders. The officials of the
company put a score of clerks to work
cn the returns yesterday and the result
is the following estimate based on the
majority opinion:

DEMOCRATIC EC-RECAST.
. How Stevenson See It
Adlal E. Stevenson made the flat-footed
declaration that the Democrats would
carry Indiana, and he added:
"Ohio should be put down as very
likely to give its electoral votes for
Bryan. To my mind, the two great
doubtful states which lean more strong
ly to the Democratic than to the Re
publican side in this fight are New Tork
and Ohio."
Mr. Stevenson then made the following
estimate of the situation as it stands to
day: "For McKinley California, 9; Connec
ticut, fi; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Massachu
setts, 15; Michigan, 14; Minnesota, 9;

"Willis J. Abbot's Forecast.
Willis J. Abbot, manager of the Dem
ocratic national campaign burea.u, made
his first prediction today as to the re
sult of the election. According to Man
ager Abbot, Bryan is sure of the elec
tion, with 272 electoral votes, or 4i to
spare, while McKinley will get only 11,

W. R. BELL,
The Philadelphia North. American (Rep.)
Sees a Bryan Victory.
W. S. Daniels of the SL Louis Repub
lic, of opinion the Democratic! candidate
is stronger than ever before.
I think Mr. Bryan will hold all the
states he secured in 1S36 and will gain
in addition New Tork and Kentucky.
This would insure his election by 225,
regardless of the result in Indiana. Illi
nois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland, or
West Virginia. As -viewed from Wash
ington, Bryan seems stronger every
where than he was four years ago.
In IS; Bryan secured 176 electors. Of
these he may lose ten in Kansas, but I
think he is more likely to regain eight in
Maryland, which went to McKinley four
years ago.
It seems to me. recalling all the cir
cumstances o-f 1496. and comparing them
with conditions of today, the result in
any event is likely to be close, and that
the present situation does not at all
warrant a confident claim by either
party of an overwhelming victory. In
twenty-eight years no president has been
re-elected, which of itself is ominous i'r
the Republicans, aside from the history
of New Tork and Indiana, which shows
their tendency to alternate regularly be
tween the two parties in presidential
campaigns.
In short. I think the result promises to
be close: that the Democrats have excel
lent prospects of carrying New Tork
and regaining Kentucky, with good
chances of success in Maryland. Indiana
and West Virginia. In other words, that
the fight will be ciose. with the chances
this time favoring Mr. Bryan.
W. S. DANIELS,
St. Louis Republic (Deo.)
Mc Glare's Prediction.
Chairman McGuire today made a pre
diction at Democratic state headquarters
in reference to the Republican claims
that McKinley would come down to the
Harlem river with 100.000 majority were
erroneous. He said:
"I feei confident McKinley will come
to the borders cf greater New Tork with
less than 75.000 majority. This will be
offset by the Democratic majority ia
greater New Tork, and Ifeel confident
that Mr. Bryan will carry New Tork
state and will be elected president. The
demonstrations for Mr. Bryan up the
state are unparalleled and they have ex
ceeded Mr. Bryan's expectations.
"We have received considerable money
cf late in New Jersey, and now we are
confident that it will be in the Demo
cratic column. I .have been surprised
at the call for speakers from Ohio. This
is a good sign. It shows that even in
Ohio the Democrats are active and have
a chance to win."
Stone on the Issue.
W. J. Stone of the Democratic national
committee, shares the belief of State
Chairman McGuire that Bryan can and
will get the electoral vote of New Tork.
Moreover, he declares that New Jersey
and Ohio will be found in the Demo
cratic column.
"I don't know about New Tork being
the storm-center," he said today, "but
we will make a strong fight here, and I
am confident, too, that we will win In
New Jersey. A week ago the New Jersey
Democratic leaders told me they had no
chance to win. Today the same men
came to me and said that Bryan would
carry New Jersey. This is no Muff.
Their statement was based on informa
tion. Another thing we could carry In
diana today by SO.ftOO plurality, and I am
positive that we will have the Presi
dent's own state, too. This may sound
Etartling, but a revolution is in progress,
and if my predictions do not turn out
tc be true, I have been very badly
fooled.
"We can elect Bryan without New
Tork state,"said Mr. Stone, in conclusion,
"but we will give him this state's elec
toral vote, too."
Mack Sees Victory.
Norman E. Mack, the national com
mitteeman for the state of New Tork, is
thoroughly convinced now that Bryan
will carry the state. Mr. Mack is one of
the shrewdest politicians in New Tork.
He is a resident of Buffalo, and has
made a record there as a political man
ager of far more than ordinary ability.
Mr. Mack, furthermore, ia a. very con
servative man.
"I have been in 35 out of the 60 coun
ties in the state since the Kansas City
convention, and I am now more than
ever satisfied that the Republican man
agers will not go to Manhattan island
with over 60,000 majority. Tou will ob
serve that I am allowing them a very
liberal majority when I say this. Men
who are accustomed to the political
conditions in Greater New Tork ail con
cede, and concede it openly, that Greater
New Tork will give Mr. Bryan, outside
of Kings county, a majority of at least
75.(Xi0. I have talked with the Kings
county leaders, and those that know
them are aware of their conservatism.
They all feel certain that Kings county
will give Bryan a majority of 15.000. I
believe that Mr. Bryan's tour of the
state is one of the most remarkable dem
onstrations ever given any candidate for
office. James G. Blaine's tour in 1&S4
(and he was the greatest campaigner of
his time) can not be compared to it.
Mr. Bryan was through here in 1S56,
and there is no comparison with the
crowds and enthusiasm of then and now.
This all means that the New Tork of
1900 is not the New Tork of lsHL In
the former year the Germans of the
state, and there are lots of them here,
were ail for McKinley. Bryan didn't
get enough German votes to consider.
This year, in my opinion, 65 per cent, of
the German citizens of the state will
vote for Bryan on the imperialistic is
sue alone.
"In 1S82 the state went over 192.000 for
Cleveland and two years later it gave
him onlv 1.100. At that time we polled
but 1,200,000 votes. We poll 1.600.000
votes cow. and it will not require so
great a change this year to overcome
the 250.000 given McKinley in 1SSS as it
required when we polled fewer votes to
cut the Cleveland majority down to
1,100.
"Erie county, where I live, went for
McKinley by 1.500, but the Democrats
have carried the county twice since then.
Cleveland never carried it. but Bryan
will carry it this time as sure as the sun
shines. New Tork state's electoral vote
will be in the Bryan column this year."
Discusses Herald's Poll.
O. O. Stealey, Louisville Courier-Journal
eastern correspondent:
The forecast of the election by the
New Tork Herald today is the talk of
the politicians. It gives McKinley 2S1
votes and Bryan 165. The Herald fore
cast the election of Cleveland in 1892 antf
McKinley in 1S&6, but each of these elec
tions was discounted also by the intel
ligent voters a month before the elec
tions. The Herald gives Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois. Maryland and West Virginia to
McKinley. It also gives him Kansas and
four of the extreme western states that
Bryan carried in ISMS. It gives Bryan
eleven less votes than he received in
1896. The only gain it gives Bryan i3
the vote of Kentucky. If there is a tidal
wave f or McKinley the Herald's f orecast
may prove true, otherwise Bryan will be
elected. If Indiana goes for McKinley.
then I do not believe that Bryan will
get as large a vote as the Herald gives
him.
How the Herald can concede a Repub
lican loss of 150,000 in New Tork stat
and still give McKinley states that Bry
an carried in the west in 1596 is per
plexing. Is Bryan stronger east now
and weaker in the west than in 1S96? T!
so, why would he not carry Maryland
Delaware and West Virginia ? If Bryan,
according- to the Herald forecast, has
gained 156.000 votes in New Tork and
40,000 votes in New Jersey in four years,
would not the same percentage of gaint
give him Maryland. Indiana. West Vir
ginia and Delaware? Certainly it would.

Topeka Local Freight Agents'
Association Organizing.
Representatives of the SeTeral
Koads in Close Toueh.
WELL HATE SAXCTI0X
Of the Companies to Their
Mutual Agreements.
Hock Island Freight Station to
Be Enlarged.
The organization of a local freight
agents' association la undp way In To
peka. The several local agents have
held a number of conferences recently
and a formal organization, to be known
as the Topeka Local Freight Agents
association, has been determined upon.
The association will have the recognition
and support of the agents' several com
panies, it is said, when its formation is
completed by them, of which only the
election of officers remains to be cone.
An agreement on the five o'clock rule
regarding the receiving of freight is in
force at ail the depots, by joint consent
of the agents. The belief that further
good will result from a closer organiza
tion is responsible for the proposed new
association. There is a desire on the part
of the agents to have uniform treatment
accorded shippers and patrons in other
phases of the business, as in collections,
for instance, and by working in har
mony these ends will be better obtained.
The freights agents of this citv are
W. H. Nichols. Rock Island; W. C.
Garvey, Santa F; J. C. Fulton. ITnion
Pacific; F. E. Nipps, Missouri Pacific;
R. Stevens, Rock Island depot, North
Topeka, and Charles Gertiesen, o' the
Santa Fe depot in North Topeka.
"We have been holding several meet
ings," said one local agent, "with a view
to organizing a local freight agents' as
sociation. All the local agents are agreed
upon it and its final and formal organiz
ation is practically assured. I think we
will all get together and elect officers
one of these days. At our meeting a
week ago everyone was in favor of the
proposition. Testerday we couldn't
muster our forces in full, but I think it
was because business rush prevented
some from keeping the engagement."
TO ENLASGE FREIGHT DEPOT.
E-ock Island Station Uets New Offices
and Covered Platform.
Within a week or two extensive Im
provements will be made to the Topeka
freight depot of the Rock Island rail
road. The volume of business trans
acted demands more room for storage,
for handling and for the office force
The structure proper will be extended
40 feet to the east by a two-story ad
dition. This is for the freight clerks'
office and the room now occupied by
them will be given over to freight
room.
A platform SO feet In length will also
be built on the west end of the station.
This platform will be roofed and will in
itself be a great convenience in the
handling of freight.
The Rock Island reports its share of
Topeka's freight traffic to be very large
and constantly increasing. The present
enlargement of their freight depot, giv
ing improved shipping facilities, will no
doubt be much appreciated by shippers.
Work upon the alterations and additions
will be commenced immediately upon the
completion of the changes now being
made at the North Topeka depot. A
construction gang was put on there
Tuesday, and when they have that job
completed the station on this side of
the river will receive their attention.
OB.IE2JT EOAD SET-BACK.
Financial Fight is On Against Presi
dent Stilwell's Big Railway Project
The financial fight between John W.
Gates and Arthur E. Stilwell, as oppos
ing factors in the Guardian Trust com
pany, has been "plunged" into court at
Kansas City. Testerday Frank Hager
man, as counsel for Mr. Gates and sev
eral associates, filed a bill cf complaint,
in which he makes various charges
against Mr. Stilwell, chief among which
is the liabiity of his using the Guardian
Trust cempany to its disadvantage to
further the interests of the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient railroad.
The eompiainant asks for an injunc
tion restraining him from doing this
and that a receiver he appointed for the
Trust company. Judge Philips, in the
United States court, yesterday granted a
temporary injunction, and set the hear
ing as to whether it should be made
permanent for 9:30 o'clock this morn
ing. A meeting of the stockholders of
the Trust company was to have been
held today, when eight new directors
were to have been elected. Mr. Stilwell
has secured enough proxies to enable
him to control the election of these di
rectors, and they will control the future
action of the board of directors.
Gates, in his suit, is joined by several
other stockholders, who allege they pur
chased stock in the company under false
representations as to the value of secu
rities held by it. The total amount of
stock represented in the suit is some
what more than 10 per cent, of the total
Mr. Stiiwell believes the suit is the re
sult of a personal fight against him
and that it gains strength by the sup
port of interests that are opposed to the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient road, of
which he is promoter.
In regard to the whole contention,
which appears to have been started to
prevent the Trust company aiding in the
financing of the Orient railway, Mr. Stil
well says:
"Mr. Gates tried to rule the Trust
company, and failing he is now endeav
oring to ruin it. The suit is a personal
attack on me and an effort to prevent
the Orient line from being built. It will
be a severe blow to Kansas City if a
receiver is appointed for the Guardian
Trust company. Tfie company is in
good financial condition and its pros
pects are of the brightest kind. It is
not interested in any way in the Orient
railroad enterprise beyond acting as
trustee for which it is to be paid. I
have been particular to keep the affairs
of both companies separate and distinct
and the statement that the Trust com
pany's money was being used for the
railroad is false. Gates and his friend
only own about 10 per cent, of the stock
of the Guardian Trtrst company."
PASS AGREEMENT RENEWED.
Abolishing Resolution Fails Again,
Bat Penalty Clause is Adopted,
St. Lcuis, Mo., Oct. 24. All railway
lines west and southwest of the Mississippi

tion of the agreement. Each line is to
put up a deposit of t"00 and upon con
viction for violation of the agreement by
the local committees a fine of tVnt wiil
be imposed and at once collected.
A resolution was Introduced to abolish
free transportation entirely for the com
ing year, but on being put to a vote it
was lost as was a similar resolution at
the meeting held here last year. It was
felt that the conditions were not ripe
for such a radical measure, but a cem
mittee was appointed t confer with ex
ecutive officers of lines in all other sec
tions of the country, looking to the adula
tion of such action in the future.
Local committees were appointed at
St. Louis, Chicago, St Paul. Kaca
City and Omaha, with discretionary
power as to the issuance of passes.
