This State will give very large ma
jorlty for Bryant think. more than 0o'-

lines"
Enclosed with this is the following esu-
mate OF tho vote:
~At the last election Budd had n2.oo
votes and Estes III. 900. Weosters vote

The Republican party fought inc cam
paign of 1894 on two quesuons-DihetaI
ism and a protective tariff. From nearly
every stump the course OF the adInihistIa-
ton in favoring a gold standard was ne-
nounced. The only national cohVeiilSn
Of that year was the convention OF the
National Republican League. June a. 1871
at which the following resolution was
adopted on the money question:
1--WE believe in the use of both gold ana
silver as money metals, maintained on
perfect parity and interconyertibility. We
do not believe that there will be per
manent return OF prosperity 10 our coun-
try until the full use and highest position
of silver shah be restored, and we favor
such legislation as will bring about this
result"
PENNSYLVANIA BOLTERS RETURN
"Ponnsylvsna will surprise everybody
in November next" said a leading De-
mocrat from that State at Democratic
Headquarters this morning. The boiling
gold men are In bad way, and VIII cut
no figure in Pennsylvania in the prest-
Dental election Mr.. William r. Brin-
ton. Of Lancaster. In the following.
gives a picture OF what IL transpir-
ing in every section of the Keystone
State, and the example OF the Democratic
spoken OF might be followed In some
parts Of Virginia with advantage, per
haps" The sentiment I'm favor OF Bryan
and free silver IL growing very rapidly.
and the Democratic boilers are as rapid
" coming back into line. This county Is
the home OF b. Given and r. NJ. Reilly
There were our national delegates. ana
Given was our county chairman. Imme-
diately after the Democratic National
Convention they bolted the ticket. and
came out in favor of the gold standard
and they claim that a majority Of the
Democrats of this county were with them.
and endeayored to control the County
Committee. We had hard fight OF Il.
as most of our former leaders, men whom
the party had most honored, were against
us But In spite OF all this the County
Committee declared in favor Of our
platform and candidates by n large ma
jority, and we compelled all nominees
on our county and Legislative tickets,
who were not IN active sympathy with
the platform and ticket 10 get OFF, and
sent solid Bryan and free silver dele
cation to the Harrisburg convention. We
deposed Given from the chairmanship or
the county committee, and selected DR..
D. II. Mccormick, who is doing most ex-
cellent work for the party. The result
is that the boiling Democrats are re-
duced 20 a corporals guaTd-are leaders
without a following.
ION the other hand we are making
large accessions from the Republican
ranks especially in the rural districts. /
have been in almost every portion OF
the State, and careful polls show that the
Democrats will carry many of the dis
tricts which have heretofore always given
large Republican majorities Tho third
tickot movement will hardly cut a figure
here, although IL was supposed u be
stronger in this section than in any other
portion OF the State, outside OF Philadel-
phia."
MONEY ON THE SITUATION.
United States Senator II. ID. Money, OF
Mississippi, arrived here yesterday, and
is stopping at the Metropolitan. He pre-
sided over the meeting OF the National
Association of Democratic Clubs at St.
Louis and has since visited several OF
the Western States, and also West Vir-
ginia. The Senator, on his trip. had PEI
culiar advantages in asccrtaiping the po-
litical sentiment of the States through
which he passed, as he conyersed freely
with political leaders of all parties, with
whom he was intimately acquainted. He
says: 81 am confident that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected He will come to the
Mississippi river with every State west
Of 1t, including Iowa, which 10 certain
to be for him. and he viii carry every
State south Of the Ohio and Potomac,
including West Virginia and Kentucky
AS to these last two States there is no
doubt My information from Kentucky
IS derived from the best sources, and, as
TO West Virginia. have been making a
visit there, and speak with some know
ledge OF the conditions. Since I came
east l am informed that Maryland is
not in doubt. but will certainly choose
Bryan electors.
THE CENTRAL WEST.
Gas to the Central West, from what I
learned there + am sure that Illinois is
all right. IL is now as certain as any
State In the South or West. We have
the votes TO carry II, whatever Cook
county may do, and the mass OF the
workingmen in Chicago are for Bryan.
Michigan l am sure Of and believe we
shall carry Indiana and Minnesota AZ
for Ohio at the present time It Is as
likely TO 20 one way as the other, but
the Democratic strength there is in the
south and west, and is growing greater
every day.
LAS 10 the East. I have information
from New York. which leads me to re-
gard that State as In the doubtful
column. Reports are so conflicting. and
conditions so peculiar that il would not
surprise me 10 hear New York had gone
10000 either way The Bryan sentiment
in the interior Of New York Is so strong,
and the workmen IN the cities are SO
pronounced for Bryan. that nothing there
would surprise me. Notwithstanding the
tangled conditions existing.
"YOu can say" concluded Senator
Money, that my confidence increases
every dny. and while 7 always thought
Mr. Bryan would be elected now | feel
sure that he will be the next President"
