SENATOR HARRIS sANGUINE.
Mr. German, He Says, Will Garry Mary
land For Bryan.


III an interview with reporter of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal Isham G..
Harris expressed entire confidence III the
election of the silver Presidential ticket
There is no question in my mind
said he, that the great majority of the
voters in these United States are for the
free coinage of silver and the sentiment
is growing ut Il most marvellous rate.
In my personal mail to-day received
three letters from well-informed men of
Pennsylvania asking me to send them
literature on the silver question. All of
the writers assured me that, with the
proper effort on our part, we would be
able To carry the keystone State for our
ticket IN November. In New York the
sentiment has just commenced to come
to the front, and it is becoming Il regular
tidal wave Senator Smith, of New .Ter-
sey, is one of the strongest advocates of
the gold standard that | know, and he
says that the gold men are by no means
certain of his State There is Maj kland,
for instance. When commenced the or
SaniZing OF the country for silver last
year | gave Maryland and all of the
Eastern States up for hopeless. We did
absolutely nothing for silver in that
State. Both the Senator's We're against
us and the whole force of the admins
uratlOh was uSeu Tor goa, yet maryland
sent seven silver men to the Chicago CON
vcntion. We are certain of Maryland in
the November election. Senator Cor
man, who has always been for gold, told
me "a few days since that lac would take
place on the national executive com
mittec and do all that he could for the
ticket. He said that if he had had control
of the national convention the result
would have been different, but he added
i cannot always have my own way. If
cannot get you all with me will come
to you The carrying of his own State
means good deal to the Senator, and
am sure he will do so, besides being of
invaluable service to the committee in
other parts of the country. Anything
like Il union OF the silAer forces in Novem-
Der would give the biggest electoral ma
jority Tor Bryan chat this country has
seen for thirty years. -
