Thus Mt W. VI. Hoyt. the great mer-
7 chant prince. has become a repud.ator
and an anarchist. In this connection
I IL is well TO note that 500 OF the men
employed by w VI. HOyt & Co. march
ed fin the Chicago Cay Sound money
parade. Four hundred and fifty OF
them will vote for Bryan.

great business mems meeting of next
. We 1esd7y. October 2S. which Will be
addressed by W. J. Bryan. These three
notable accessions 10 the cause Of hon

a-ei q profound sensation.
/ Chicago has just finished its regis
+ 3r8t.Cn. tt shows Democratic gains all
along the line. If any doubt existed
. before tt is dispelled by the strength
shown in the s-rOnghOlds Of the Bryan
men.
The city has listed S77319 legal yot-
T. ers. an increase Of 109S9 over the reg
is-aGon of 1892. OF these 70,136 are in
the wards which have been reliably
+ araRapulHc3l for years, leaving but
80 762 for the adversary, a gain Of 30
/ 214 for Bryan In 1892 Cleveland car
/ rie5 the city. In 1894 Wu,1, for State
+ Treasurer. carried it for the ReDubli-
cans in q landslide. He beat his Demo-
cratic opponent by 44065. But the
. P9pu'ias and Pr0hibitionists, solidly
with Bryan TODAY rolled up vote OF
$3.50 reducing Wuin's majority over
| all to $500.
WILD CALCULATIONS.
The Republican organs here by
| wholly disregarding the third party
/ strength. have figured out a gain for
/ Mckinley. The facts are wholly in
/ B~yan's favor. This years increase
over the registration o. 1894. the larg-
est I'm the city's history, is 1886 OF
/ this % 500 goes TO the wards Which show
O Bryan majority, and 1891 70 the
/ N3nna.ta fortress. leaving the net in
crease for Bryan S.662.
Some OF The details sound the trump
that Will dealen Hanna's ears Novem-
/ Der 8. In the Third ward there is an
actual loss Of CD votes, and in the Thir-
| tenth POP. Hanna expected gain of
| thousands in the Third. They are
\ strong Republican districts. But they
I are no stronger than the Eleventh and
+ Twelfth wards. where the gains are
only go and 147 respectively. Five
/ thousand additional were looked for the
/ Republicans i'm the Twelfth.
With these heartbreaking disap-
pon,meuts for the trusts and mOnOpO-
I lies are to be placed the Democratic
I gains. Bryan is going to win like a
scared steer in clearing. The Tenth
ward bears the palm with 3.2S5. Cleye-
land carried It by $500. The Fifteenth
increases It's vote by 1883 and the Six
teeuth by 2.052. Both are Democratic
. fooresses. The Twenty-sixth has p
/ 9i2. aad the Thirteenth 2,479. Every
where there is encouragement for the
I lovers Of liberty and despair for the
/ pets of pluJocracy. Chicago is safely
for Bryan by a majority Of $4,000.
