We received too late for publication in
our issue before the elections of Nov. Sd,
from friend in Manhasset, New York, a
letter on the political situation and last
week, with the pressure of other matter, it
was overlooked. 1t is worth reprinting
now in part to show that the writer was
remarkably accurate in his prophecies.
Writing under date of Oct. 9th, he says:
Voters in this State, and all over the
Nation as well, waited and watched for
Maine to speak on the 18th of September
as she never spoke before in condemna
ton OF treason to the constitution and in
favor Of sound money and protection.
And now that we are to vote so soon. |
suppose it is a matter of great anxiety
with the people of Maine to know what
New Y ork State will do on election day,
as well as the country at large. AS to
New York State, Bryan will be showed
under by an avalanche of votes. Put it
down, if you please, anywhere from $780,
900 to 300, 900 majority for Mckinley,
New York city and Brooklyn giving great
| ma orities for the first time in a Presiden-
tial election. Pennsylvania and Ohio will
not be far behind in their majorities. In
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Mlnneso-
ia, where the contest has been fierce,
the majorities will not be SO large, but
will be, l have no doubt, satisfactory to
all except Mr.. Bryan. In fact the indica-
lions from this standpoint are that Bryan
will get Fps votes in the electoral college,
and no more-and this is 125 more votes
than he should have. The people here
are impatient to get at him; So let the
cannon roar and the ballots fly on election
day for Old Glory and renewed pros
perity.

Bryan is demagogical to the last. He
has given out for publication a statement
in which he saws.

Bryan is demagogical to the last He
has given out for publication statement
in which he says:
Conscious that millions of loyal hearts
are saddened by temporary defeat, l beg
to offer a word of hope and encourage
ment. No cause ever had supporters
more brave, earnest and devoted than
those who have espoused the cause of BIZ
metailiSm.
Bryan did not represent in the cam
paign just closed the cause of BIZ metal
lism, but the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l, which could only have
resulted in silver recommendation. The
Republican platform pledged that party
to promote the free coinage of silver by
the only method possibility ''interna-
tional agreement with the leading com
mercial nations of the world.' Adher-
ence to the gold standard does not mean
gold recommendation. Silver will con-
tinue part of our currency as hereto
fore, and the silver dollar will be worth
one hundred cents in gold.
The Republican leaders and the Repub-
lican press give unstinted praise to the
sound money Democrats who contributed
SO materially to save the nation from
threatened bankruptcy and dishonor.
The New York Press, Republican, singles
out for special commentator Charles A.
Dana of the New York Sun. The Press
says:
Never in any one campaign has any
other editor been the power for good in
this land that this editor has been. 1t
was not his, like Greeley or Weed or Ray
mond, slowly to educate people in his
beliefs. 1t was his to command a stag
gering and stricken party-the honest
money Democrats of the United States
to his following.
His was the first voice raised among the
Democrats Of America against the Chica-
go platform. His must be among Demo-
Gratis the first honor for its overthrow.
This is we'll said, and well deserved.
While the result of the Presidential
election was definitely known a week ago,
there is still doubt as to the vote of sever
al States. Kentucky is claimed by botl
parties, but the Republican managers say
that only one Bryan elector, if any, car
win. South Dakota is still in doubt, Will
the indications favoring the Bryan cleo
tors, while the Republican State ticket,
with the exception of Governor, is
thought to have been elected by small
majorties. The Democrats claim 3S(
majority for the Bryan electors in Wy
oming. A Republican majority of about
100 in the National House is assured
but the Senate will be close

1t is positively stated that the Republi-
cans were counted out in Virginia this
year, as they have been in the past in
more than one of the Southern States.
Fortunately the vote of Virginia is not
an important factor this year. When
Blaine was counted out in New York, in
1854. it gave the election to Cleveland.

policy for any party to keep one set of

Since the election of Mckinley gold has
plethora of the yellow metal. The gov

was the theme of SO many Republican

would have been reversed Gold would
have gone out of the country and into

been general shutting down of mills and
