CANNOT FCrD TEE11 ALL.
In other words. should Mckinley carry
eyt,y SAFE east of the Missouri and
G0.,a CT the Ohio and the Mason and
Dixon line he would have a majority Of
in ,he Electoral College. The beauty
OF il all Is ne can't do il. And Hanna
VIII all his money and all his lack of
Sc.upie added TO his coarse Sorce can't
GO j, for him.
Ia an Of these States the Democrats
fuse with The PODul.s,s and pTes5n, an
uIbDken sU<er front. The only bolts
in these bailiw.cfs are silver bolts from
thc Republicans, ana in passing one may
say OF the POpulsJs refUsals TO fus= with
The Democrats, tha, the Republicans can
gain no aid, no comfort from them.
These fuse-rtfUsai only occur in States
like Alabama where. Whatever happens
Rem5licanism and McKinley.sm stand
no more Of q show than feather in a
furnace.
But. TO 20 back TO this table Of the
Middle WcS,. the North and the North
fast: Mckinley has SIX 10 the good,
should be carry them all; but there are
several Of these peIs.mmons beyond the
reach OF the E2nHa syndicate pos. But
they ever so wisely. corrupt they ever
so cunD.ng.y. hey can, get them.
SILNER'S HOLD On MINNESOTA.
Take Minnesota .or eXamp.e-and
without /, Mckinley is swept away and
a lamp rises and lives in the Hanna
taIcaj ev ny time he thinks OF lake
Minnesota with is nine woes: what man
allows NcEnl Y Minnesota in his
count? The Republicans ara ,wo-thircs
for silver there. They are leaving the
party for the Democracy by squads pla-
icons and compan.es. It's been nothing
bu- bolt NcKinl v in Minnesota ever
snce llama got his nomination in ST.
Louis. Ex-Governor Merriam and Mike
Doran may carry caucuses, and even
domir5s state c0nyentcCs; but they
are HELPLESS al The polls. They may lead
The Minnesota horse with a corporation
halter TO the water, but they can't make
nm drink. Minnesota VIII be Tor BIy-
an.
With a hop and a skip over Iowa,
where gold IS IN a corner fighting for It's
lie and bidding fair 10 lose ii, come 10
the great State Of Illinois. Every Hi
MS sian is a silver one. Altgeld, for
Governor. is to win over John Tanner;
even Republicans admit that. Ii the
SAFE is 10 90 locally Democratic. how
VII il resist an even stronger national
Impulse. Does Yesterdays Chicago 5
reception to Bryan, popular outpour-
ing such as never had a parellel: does
such a demonstration show Repubu-
can ability TO defend itself n Illinois?
The State is half way on It's way to Bry-
an now. and by November the world viii
witness a silver stampede in The corn
stalk commonwealth.
HOCSIER VOTES NEEDED.
Ii indiana and Michigan the McKin-
Icy dove. wi0n cast loose by Hanna, r.
tuIns vita weary pin.on TO The synd.-
cale ark. finding no rest for the sole Of
its foot. They say about Washington
-hat the millions Hanna will pour forth
on the Hoos'ers will make the former fl
nanc,al operations in politics o. blocks
oi-flye-Dudiey look pale and wan. It's
20 be hored that Hanna VIII break open
his barrels on the bank OF the Wabash.
The Hoosi rs need money And such IS
their thrift and such is their political
direction that they viii take all Hanna
VIII bring them and then vo,e for Bry-
an Jus, the same.
The truth is the Mckinley chances are
aGre. as this is written, in Indiana, in
Michigan. in Ohio itself; while from the
smudges going up in the parts of the
Emn.re SAFE !, would appear as if NV
/ YorN itse., was in direct range of the
sharks and liable 10 burst into silver
burning az any hour. Even the staid
and solemn State Of Pennsylvania is
acting peculiarly. and from what flcJ-
sam com row ashore from the Key
stone community one might reasonably
/ look for Republican woe n that direct
ion.
That is the situation, and there are the
/ table and figUr-s by which Mckinley
mus make his conquest OF the White
/ House. one will have 10 stand on his
/ head before he sees or reads any Hanna
syndicate encouragement n them.
