DEPEw ON THE ISSUES.
The New Yorker DfsprOves Some of
Mr.. Bryan's Assertions.

GALESBURG, ILL.,, Oct. DIR. Chauncey
M. Depew, of New York. addressed the
largest political gathering in many years
here tonight. All the evening trains
brought in large crowds from the outside
In the procession We're three to four thou
sand, representing Republican clubs from
twenty-five or thirty cities and towns. DR.
Depew followed closely the lines of his
Brooklyn speech. He said in part:
'Mr. Bryan tries to prejudice the West
against the East conveying the idea that
the East loans money to the West and by
some process secures gains which come
from labor on the farms in the prairie
States All the Western States are the
creations of credit. Borrowed money built
the railroads, built their cities and their
manufactures, and enabled the young
farmer who had taken quarter section
from the government to buy his stock,
build his house and barns and fences. or
this borrowed money, so far as the rail-
roads are concerned at least, nearly one
e Santa Fe road and the Northern Pacific
road are conspicuous examples of the mill
lions on millions of Eastern money. where
the creditor, by the failure of the roads,
has had his capital cut in two. But the
West has the railroads just the same.
Since 1873 the prosperity of the country
on the gold basis has created confidence
Confidence has made money plenty and
loanable upon such security as the West
had to offer The rate of interest which
in 1913 was per cent. month on the best
security and per cent. a month on poor
SCtuilly, Ieto SOilc uOWH 20 per ana b per
cent. a year.
The farmer suffers from low prices be-
cause of competition in foreign markets by
the Argentine Republic, Australia, Egypt
and India, whose wheat has come to Lon
don only in the last ten years. But the
low prices would be made up to him if he
had a home market
Lost of credit and confidence in the last
three years has paralyzed the industries of
the country, and has paralyzed the pur-
chasing power of the wage earners In such
cases the change in the purchase of food
products is simply incalculable. | cite an
instance on one of the roads of which I ri
director. in a mining district, which form
erly received fourteen cars a day of dressed
beef. Now the iron mines are closed and
the furnaces have gone out of blast This
large district has no employment The peo-
pie had to live on saving deposits and on
sales Of their scanty effects. They had to
change their mode of living to a cheaper
one, and from fourteen carloads of beef
daily there is now shipped there but one
n week. This meant the throwing back of
stock on the farmers, to feed or kill. If
they cannot afford to keep them thew must
sell. This shows how many hundreds are
affected"
DR.. Depew made strong plea for the
gold standard especially benefitinz the
farmers OF the West, and appealed to them
TO vote for Mckinley.

ATLANTA, Ga. Oct. Wv. Y. Atkinson,
Democrat is reelected Governor by a
jority of not less than $4,000, which is an
increase of 5000 over the party majority of
two years ago. The situation at midnight
was very complex, and the result is largely
guess work. Fulton county, in which this
city is situated, has given Atkinson ma
jority of 1000, where two years ago it gave
a majority of 1880. Bibb county this year
gives a majority of 600 and two years ago
it gave the Democrats a majority Of 5000
In the Tenth district, which is the home of
Thomas Watson, the Democratic majority
has dropped from 5000 to 1000 1t is gen.
orally conceded, however. that Atkinson
has carried the State by at least $1,000 and
the returns are expected by his friends to
show that he has a majority of $4,000 This,
if true, will mean that the rest of the
ticket has been successful by majority of
40 000
Ex-Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith
in an interview tonight said: THE con-

Every possible element antagonlstic to
Democracy has been arrayed against the
State ticket in this fight. The Popuiists
combined with the Prohibitionists. They
hDte had many active agents at work In
their behalf. In the cities the A. F. As
have been fighting Atkinson from one end
of the State to the other. The Republican
leaders have been using their influence in
the interest of the Populist ticket. The gold
Democrats have also worked against the
State ticket The returns point to an al
most uniform Democratic gain Wherever
there has been a Democratic loss it has
been solely to local reasons. Atkinson's
plurality is less than that received by the
others on the State ticket. The other State
officers have majoritieS that run over 40, 0C0.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic. The PopuliSts may have four mem
