c. NJ. Crane of Canton, O., McKinley's
own town, is at the Knutsford for day
or so. THE chances for Bryan in Ohio
are more than good he said to re-
publicans by about 2S000, but this is a
year when all bets are off. The people
generally lose sight of the fact there are
about 5000 Populists, who will vote for
great many Democrats who are going to
vote for Mckinley, but then there are
great many Republicans who will vote for
Bryan. The percentage in favor Of the
latter is far greater than the percentage

continued Mr. Crane. But if any one
thinks all the men who go to Canton
wearing Mckinley buttons are going to
vote for Mckinley, he is mistaken.
Plenty of them come there wearing the
buttons because they are afraid to do
anything else, but when they get away
and up town they break loose and heller

talked with great many of them and
