SOME BOLD BRYAN FIGURES.
Mr.. John WILDER enl1ins Shows That
Bryan is elected With 16 to Spare.

W
Bryan is elected With 16 to Spare.
TO the Editor: Tt is apparent that
the election will be decided by the
vote of the following States:
Illinois. "a; Indiana, Is; Iowa, -;
Kentucky, 10; Michigan, IA; West Nlr-
ginia, 6 Maryland, s; and Minnesota,
Q.
These States are claimed by both
parties, and put down by both parties
as certain.
Outside of these really doubtful
States there is in the Bryan column:
Alabama, II: Arkansas, s; California,
o; Colorado, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia,
IS; Idaho, s; Kansas, 10; Louisiana, s;
Mississippi, 9; Missouri, II; Montana,
8: Nebraska, s; Nevada, B; North Car
DINA. II; North Dakota, 3; Oregon, 4;
South Carolina, o; South Dakota, 4;
Tennessee, 10; Texas, IS; Utah, 81;
Virginia. IL; Washington, 4; and
Wyoming, 3.
In the Mckinley column the States
not claimed as certain" by both par
ties are:
Connecticut, G; Delaware, 3; Maine,
6; Massachusetts, Is; Minnesota, 81;
New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10;
New York, 30; Ohio, %; Pennsylvania,
SO; Rhode Island, 4; Vermont, 4; Wis
consin 10.
Therefore it viii be seen that in the
really doubtful column, that is, States
claimed as certain by both parties.
there are 102 electoral votes.
In the Bryan column the States not
claimed by the Republicans aggregate
$50 electoral votes.
In the Mckinley column the States
not claimed by the Democrats aggre-
gate 164 electoral votes.
These figures are based on the New
| York Herald table and the most con-
sentative table given out by he Demo
| cratic committee.
In all these are 447 electoral votes
| making 224 votes necessary to q
| choice According to these figures tc
| be elected Mr.. Bryan must receive A.
| electoral votes from the doubtful.
| States, and from the same source Mr.
| Mckinley must receive go electoral
| votes.
In most of the doubtful States Mr.
Bryan appears to us to have the best
| chance to win, but the most conserva.
| dive men on the other side concede
| that the Democrats have greatly the
advantage in Maryland, 8; West Vir
| ginia. 6; Indiana, IS; Michigan, II;
and Kentucky, 10; total, So, 16 more
votes than Mr.. Bryan requires.
This is the most conservative esti
mate that can be made from the
standpoint of an impartial observer
From the calmest most impassion
ate point of view it appears that Mr.
| Bryan has a better chance of elec
| ton than Mr. Mckinley.

DIR. KNOX TO THE JOURNAL.

The following letter should have
been published a month ago, but the
delay does not detract from its value;
Raleigh, N. G. Sept. 10, 1896.
w. r. Hearst:
II hereby subscribe the sum of SIS
to the New York Journals fund for
the education Of the voters of the Uni
ted States.
Success to your splendid efforts in
behalf of the true Democracy; all
praise to your happy thought, in
starting this method of popular sub
scription. If each individual who be
Heves in our cause win give his little
mite, and not withhold it because
he cannot give largely, the fund will
be ample to meet all needful pur-
poses. Mr.. Bryan has just completed
his tour of North Carolina, and has
made the splendid impression every
where in our State that he is the man
of destiny. Very truly yours,

SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.

Mr.. James Jones, OF the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with La Grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pana could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
of it, he took bottle home, and to
the surprise of all she began to get
better from first dose, and half dozen
dollar bottles cured her sound and
well. DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at John Y. Mac

Silver Men Compelled to Sign Pledge
That They win Vote for Gold.
Findlay, O., Oct 1s.-A tremendous
sensation was created here to-day by
the announcement of the action of the
Standard Oil Company towards its en-
ployes.
For some time the company has had
its officers instruct its men how they
shall vote, and has been holding regu-
lar schools of instruction, which all
employees have been obliged to attend.
and at which the gold standard doc
trine was inculcated
Yesterday Alexander Johnson, field,
foreman of the Ohio Old Company,
which is the operating branch of the
Standard in this field, took to each of
the men under him a slip of paper,
printed with the words Gold" and
"Silver" in large type, and every man
was compelled to mark which ticket
he would vote and sign the printed
pledge that he would vote as he had
marked.
Nearly all Of the men marked their
cross after the word gold, although
they had been almost unanimously
for silver before the coerciye meaures
were adopted.

IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE
SOUTH, o, MY!

The Black Patti Troubadours, con-
sisting of "fifty refined lady vocalists,"
went to Hartford, Conn, last Friday
to fill an engagement billed for next
week. They waited at the railroad
station while their manager made the
rounds of the hotels in the fruitless
endeavor to secure them accommoda-
ton. Every hotel became suddenly
"full," and the fifty black PATHS spent
the night on the benches of the wait
ing room. The manager is furious
and says he will cancel the Hartford
engagement and sue all the hotel land
lords in the city. 1t is not stated what
the Courant will do about it.

THE cHAp1ArNs OF MONOPOLY.
Lynn's Labor Pastor Replies to Preach
ers who Advocate Mckinley.


Lynn, Mass, Oct. 23.--In the Labor
church Sunday Rev. Herbert N. Cas-
son preached on 1.-THE Chaplains Of
Monopoly" Replying to the ministers
who have advocated gold and McKin-
ley, he said: This campaign presents
no sectarian issues. The best men of
oil creeds should unite, for the aris-
tocrats and apostles have combined.
Archbishop Ireland and the A. =. A.
leaders have shaken hands, Macarthur
and Ingersoll have embraced, Reed and
Cleveland have forgotten the tariff,
Bishop Newman and Breckenridge 90
arm in arm, Morgan Dix and Herr
Most have smoked the peace pipe.
'NNone of these gold standard cler-
gymen dare mention the liquor pro-
blem in this campaign, though it is
their hobby at other times. DO they
not know that Mckinley is renting
property for saloon purposes2 DO they
not know that Hobart is a trustee Of
the Paterson Brewing Company? or
that the President of the Whiskey
Trust has an honored place upon the
Republican National committee?
Either they are not sincere in their
advocacy of prohibition or they are
very ignorant Of the political situa-
ton. When the people asked for bread
in Chicago and Cleveland gave them
troops these clergymen applauded
These ministers may be in the line Of
APOSTOLIC succession, but they date
from Judas. If they have been hired
to strike at the impoverished West
why must they use the Bible for their
sand bag? Their creed is not saliva
ton by faith in Christ, but salvation
by confidence in England.
The gold basis superstition is a
relic of the gold craze that swept Eu-
rope into a money-malling frenzy in
1894. Two hundred years ago it caus-
ed piracy and war. To-day it causes
poverty, despotism, and corruption.
1t was gold that caused the trouble
in Venezuela, South Africa, and Ar
menia. Gold is not now and never
has been the money of the people.
There is not an employer in the world
who pays his men in gold. Tt is but
the toy and fetch of our industrial
childhood

matters and things pertaining to the
welfare of my country, and now we
have reached the climax of the most
critical juncture in the history OF
America.
This is not a political, ,erisis-it is
concentrated capital arrayed against
labor; it's Europe against America;
it's the life or death of our nation at
stake; it's liberty or abject slavery to
the domination of British gold; a
diabolical project born in London,
reared in Wall street, made visible in
Washington in '73, partially effected
through Grover Cleveland and meant

A CURIOUS QUESTION.
Where was Methuselah During the De-
luge-Was he in the ark?

DR.. Halsey, L. Wood, Of New York
city, says the Literary Digest, has
raised the curious question, to which
he has found no satisfactory answer,
where was Methuselah during the De-
luge?
AS reported by the Literary Digest
DR.. Wood says the distinguished pa
triareh seems to have been forgotten
at that time, "for no mention is made
of him as among the chosen few to
enter the Ark, and, on the other hand,
we are told that every living creature
persisted without the Ark, and every
man." Methuselah, however, lived
mine hundred and sixty and nine
years." and "since he had fully ten
months Of life left to him at the be-
ginning of the flood, he could have
completed his grand total of years
nowhere else than inside the Ark
At Noah's birth, the argument is
further made, Meth mBelah chad full
six hundred years to live" The flood
occurred in the six hundredth year of
Noah's life; Noah was, therefore, 500
years old when the flood began, and
"Methuselah had still ten months to
live ere his 969th year was complete.
Where was he ? The dwellers in the
Ark remained in it year and ten
days. ''Methuselah must therefore
have died during the interval, and
presumably he was buried, but strange
to say nothing is said of his singular
circumstances.

and all are better citizens
fol being better educated. Almost all
civilized countries Of modern times have
considered the education of its people
the fundamental principle of good and
permanent government, and by estab-
fishing or fostering educational instltu-
tions endeavor to perpetuate govern
mental theories.
One of Americas gre atest statesmen
has said that I'VE must educate or we
must perish by our own prosperity. A
nation, be it never so prosperous, can
not hope to endure unless the great mass
of it's people are educated. Therefore,
ii you expect to be in the front rank
OF the citizens Of this Nation and be
filled with the inspirations of true pat
riotism and love of country, you must
not fall behind in the march of progress,
but must thoroughly prepare yourselves
in youth for your life work. There is
no place for such preparation so good as
the public school, and there is no Amer
lean institution which so much deserves
the undivided support of every true
American citizen as the public school
system.
1 hope that every pupil of this class
will, at the beginning of the next term,
enter the high school. 1t is a duty you
owe to your parents, to your teachers,
but most of all to yourselves.
