senator stewart Happy.

United States Senator Stewart sat
in the corridor of the Planters Hotel
last night says correspondent OF
the St. Louis Republic. talking to a
coterie of friends. He was in the
best of humor, in fact he chuckled
with satisfaction as he spoke OF
Bryan's prospects.
II think the Republicans will
carry four States," he remarked
after pause. "We shall have to
concede them Rhode Island and
possibly Delaware and" "Seri-
ously, Senator" interrupted the
Republic representative, show will
the doings of the Populist Conven-
tion affect Mr.. BryanW
''They simply clinch his election.
Bryan will get the bulk of the Pop
ulist vote in all States and the en-
tire vote in the States where it will
benefit him most. The Populists
should have nominated Bryan and
Sewall, but they did not. They
made a mistake and they will see
it before long. Bryan and Sewall
will sweep the country"

Henry George for Bryan.

Henry George has given out that
he will support Bryan for President
and gives the following as his rea-
sons:
81 shall vote for him, not because
he is the regular Democratic nomi-
nee, nor because hold his views on
the currency, but because in the
choice now offered us he clearly
represents the Jeffersonian principle
that prin ciple of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none,
which is, to my mind, the only
thing worth struggling for in our
politics, and the only thing by and
through which the American repub-
lie can be preserved in the dangers
that now menace it. All other is
sues are small to me besides this,
and from what I know and have
heard of the man shall vote for
Bryan with greater satisfaction and
firmer conscience than have voted
for and presidential candidate since
Abraham Lincoln"
