the languages of those countries. There
was also request for speakers for Wis

be carried for silver.
These letters, as well as all the others

most encouraging nature. They tell that
the people are rising in every state, re-
gardless of party, and will vote for Bryan

presses a doubt as to the ultimate result
They say that work may be necessary, but
that 1t will win. From every direction
