a way BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

One Of the Examiners Chicago cores
pondents sends the following to to that
paper under date OF July L:
L. was this afternoon that I encoun-
tered a silver Senator from the far North
west. He didn't behave at Sc. Louis 10
a way to cover himself with crimson
glory and undying fame. and so he is not
haunting Chicago with his silver brethren
Just now. Colloquially speaking. he's
looking solemn and lying dead, but he
chirped up and discussed the silver sit
nation.
"Free silver, 10 to l, will win" he
said. at will have the House aud White
House after March 4. Ii has the Senate
now. Whether the Populists and Re
publicans out West indorse the Chicago
nominee or not, is not so important. 1t
is assured in advance-the electors Of the
Western States will never vote for Nc
Kinley, who runs on a gold platform.
Here's how they are managing politics
just now out in the mountains. The
free silver people in some of the Western
States have already begun operations on
a line Indicative Of their general policy
throughout the silver States hitherto
Republican.
"In Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon.
tana. Utah, California and Wyoming
there is a Union Bimetsllic party in the
process of formation. 1t is to be united
on the electoral ticket, as well as Con-
gressional nominees, but in local matters
the parties seem inclined to run separ.
ate tickets.
THE Bimetallic party in Oregon has
already been organized by formal con-
vention. The convention contained 60C
delegates. representing Populists. Dem
ocrats and free silver Republicans. One
Of the delegates from the Republican
side was Jonathan Bourne, Secretary Of
the Republican State Central COMMITTEES
aud elected to the Legislature as q Re-
publican.
at was unanimously agreed that the
silver forces would have but one electoral
ticket there this campaign, to be called
the Union Republican ticket. Two o.
the candidates for Electors will be Pop
ulists, n Democrat and one Republi-
can. The Republican Elector on th'
ticket is likely to be Bourne. All will
pledge themselves to vote in the Elec
toral College only for a free silver can
didste for President.
"Calls have been issued for exactly thu
same kind Of conventions in Washington
Idaho and California, and the movemenI
is developing in other States of th'
West. Ii is expected that this plan will
be adopted in the Dakotas, Nebraski
and Kansas. If so, the votes of thos'
States are certain to be swept from tn
Republican column.
"The electoral votes Of the Republican
silver States west of the Mississippi rive
foot up a total of 81, thus: Washington
4; Oregon, A; California. 9; Nevada, 3
Utah, 3; Montana, 3; Idaho, 3; Wyom
ing, 3; Colorado, 4; North Dakota. 8
South Dakota, A; Nebraska, s; Kansas
10. These, with the l56 from the South
make PIT, or s short of a majority Of the
Electoral College. If the free silve
forces carry the South and West the!
will only need Indiana or Illinois to com
plete their victory. The Populists il
Illinois will doubtless support the Demo
cratic electors. They cast 40. 900 votel
two years ago.
"In my own opinion. the free silve
people will carry Iowa, Illinois, Indians
and New York. This sounds like wilt
talk. Go about a bit, however, ant
you'll find il sustained by every sort o
proof. Mckinley and gold haven't a lei
to stand on"
