DEAR SHINY business has tax
en- me into almost every part of the
country during the past two years,
and basing an estimate on the senti-
ment of the people as l have found
it, submit enclosed forecast of the
election.
1t is safe to count the solid South
with 1852 votes for Bryan, because
Democratic majorities there have al
ways been certain. and people in
that section are more thoroughly
aroused this year than since the war.
By comparison of the State votes
of 1890, '92, '94 and '95, the Demo
cratic vote in that section has stead
/ lily maintained with very small loss
es, while the Populists have drawn
mostly from Republican ranks As
the Populists and Democrats have
fused this year, this makes Demo
cratic pluralities all the more Ger
tain.
Pennsylvania's labor vote will go
for Bryan, because the workingmen
are not such dummies as the Repub-
lican press takes them to be; and
the same is true of Illinois and Indi-
ana.
Election returns also show con-
clusively that the Populist vote of
the Western States comes mostly
from the ranks of dissatisfied Repub-
licans, as the Democratic vote is
nearly as large as formerly, while the
Republican vote is greatly decreased,
and in one or two States is almost
entirely wiped out.
The largest number of votes so far
polled by the Populists was in Kan
sas, 1911 Texas, 159, 224; North
Carolina, 14S,334; Nebraska, 97,S15;
Georgia, 96,sSS; Minnesota, 1881
Alabama, 82,2S3; Colorado, 66,712;
Virginia, 1929; California, 81 ,304;
while Ohio cast 52,675, and Michi-
gan and other doubtful States east
enough Populist votes to determine
the election.
This means that the balance Of
power in Kansas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Colorado and California, doubt
full States generally, is held this
year by the Populists, and that fu
sion will make these States solid fol
Bryan, Both Republican delegates
to the Republican Convention, and
Democratic delegates to the Demo
cratic Convention were instructed
for silver, which means that the ma
jority in both parties in these pivot
al States, are for silver and Bryan.
Again, desertion from Republican
ranks to silver ranks far outweigh
Democratic assertions, and if the
gold Democrats put an independent
ticket in the field it means that Re
publican assertions will be clear gair
to Democracy, and Democratic de
sertions will not count with Repub-
lican votes.
Basing my estimate purely on the
sentiment of the country, outside OF
New York and Chicago, l feel NOR
ally certain that it will be found
nearly correct. A. M. A.

Republican orators have strings
of falsehoods which they retail with
much oratorical bombast.
They tell you that ''only $S,000,-
900 of silver were coined during a
hundred years of free coinage
Not true, but reckless idiotic
statement.
THAT gold is the money Of the
world"
There is no such thing as money
of the world. Nothing is money un
til it is made so by law
THAT the balance of trade is
against the United States"
Not word of truth in it.
THAT free coinage would make a
fifty cent dollar" If so, how is the
silver miner to get rich?
THAT an American gold dollar
circulates as dollar in Europe"
All lie, there is no such thing as a
dollar in England or France, and our
gold money is measured by weight
THAT foreigners would dump
their silver on us and demand gold
for their goods" We would be fools
to buy from such people, because we
don't have to.
THAT hard times are due to the
Democratic tariff" This is the pre-.
MUM idiocy, and is contended for
by Mckinley. We will bet ten dol
lars and are ready to stake the mon
ey, that no Republican orator can
prove it. We know he cannot prove
it because it is lie Wetzet Demo
crat.

HON. cHAS. POWELL
Nominated for Judge OF the Second Ju-
dicial Circuit.


The action of the Democratic Ju
dicial Convention, composed Of dele
gates from Harrison, Monongalia
and this county, which met here yes
terday and nominated Charles Pow
ell, of this place, for Judge of the
Circuit Court, will meet the univer-
sal appreciation of the party in the
three counties. Mr.. Powell is one of
the ablest lawyers in the Circuit,
with clear judicial mind and habits
of application and analysis which
will make him an able Judge. He
is self-made man, having under
gone unusual struggles to secure an
education and fit himselffor his pro-
fession, but from his first entrance
at the bar of his native county he
has taken front rank, and now en-
joys reputation and practice which
but few lawyers attain after many
years of constant and unremitting
labors. He is strong candidate,
not only in the sense of sterling in
tegrity and excellent legal equip
ments for the place, but in the num-
Der of devoted friends which he pos
sesses in every part of the Circuit.
His popularity in this county gave
him majority for Prosecuting At
torney of nearly 500 over capable
and popular opponent four years
ago, and he could have been elected
to that office again without serious
opposition, but he declined the nom
ination in advance of the Democrat
ic primary election. OF course in a
Circuit so largely Republican as
this, the chances of electing Demo
crat are somewhat remote, but all
m ay be assured that if Mr.. Powell
should be elected we will have an
honest, capable and popular Judge
who will fill the high office with
credit to himself and thorough sat
isfaction to the people. His nomi-
nation in all events was high COM
pliment to a deserving young man,
who by his labors, character and ca
pacity has proved himself eminent
ly worthy of it.

We call the attention of our read
ers to a letter from Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, printed elsewhere in our columns.
The letter was an answer to some
questions asked about certain state
ments which had been made here by
a speaker sfrom Bryan's home. =
The statements were in themselves
SO contradictory that they raised
some doubts in the mind of at laast
one of the auditors. No questions
were asked about the character Of
the Judge and the revelations about
him are incidental merely. The writ
er Of the letter seems very sincere in
his assertions and his desire that it
be published is in itself full s'ubstan-
tiation of the charges. We are ex-
tremely sorry to find that such things
are true about SO prominent mem
Der Of the opposition.

The Republican platform declares
for the existing standard until the
consent of other nations can be secur-
ed. 1t does not promise TO endeayor
to secure this consent nor point out
any maEner by which 1t Is to be OBJ
tanned. In other words it will not at
tempt to make any change in existing
conditions. The Republican speakers
ask the laboring classes to vote for the
present gold standard and this, is
equivalent to telling them that they
are as prosperous as their condition
can be made. II the gold standard is
good thing for the laboring classes
they ought now to be reyeling in pros
perity, but to state such proposition
is an insult to their intelligence. 1t
is estimated that in this country near
| ly two millions OF laboring men are at
present out Of employment, and many
OF those who are employed are worx-
| ing short hours and are barely able to
exc an existence while those who are
working full time are poorly paid and
are anything but prosperous. To ask
laboring man, therefore, to vote for
a continuation of the existing gold
standard is to ask him to vote for the
perpetuation of his own misery. More
over, the laboring men in their var
ious organizations have been studying
the silver question and its relation for
the last twenty years, all the great
trade unions have united in general
call for free coinage, and they under
stand it infinitely better than the
eleventh-hour gold converts who are
trying to teach them. AS the Repub-
licans have no remedy to propose the
workingmen will take the only one Of
fered them. even if they are not en-
tirely satisfied Of its efficacy, and so
will vote for the Chicago platform,
Bryan and Sewall.

When the records of Palmer and
Buckner are published it will be found
that both of them have been for free
silver. OF course this makes no diff
ference to the voters, for the ticket
was not put up to receive any votes but
as an ambush from behind which to
fire upon the Democracy.

Palmer and Buckner.

The excellence of the personnel of
the Indianapolis ticket is universally
admitted, but somehow it happens
that nobody seems to take the Palmer
Buckner Presidential ticket in earn
est or considers it real thing 1t is
by long odds the most effective ally
the Mckinley and Hobart ticket has
found, and is confidently expected to
render aid where aid is most needed.
The platform which it represents con-
tains the strongest declaration for
gold yet put forth, and is honest
enough to omit all nonsense and de-
ceit as to the effort for international
bimetalism. While there are Repub-
licans so uncompromising that they
would not vote for an angel il named on
an opposing ticket, there are Demo-
Gratis who place their gold above ev-
erything else in their affections; and
where these latter think Republican
protection preferable to Democratic
free silver, the Indianapolis platform
and nominations will be a welcome
relief to their Bourbonism. Republic
cans who are equally irreconcilable
have found in the present campaign
no such test as has been required of
their opponents, or at least no such
escape from their dilemma. The prob
ability is therefore, that while in the
States where ''sound money! Demo
Gratis most do dwell the ardent Repub-
lican silver voters may support Bryan,
their number will fall below those of
the Democratic fold estranged from
that candidate by reason of his BIZ
metallic pledges and platform. The
net loss will be his-which after all is
what the promoters of the second
Democratic ticket have planned for.
Paraphrasing Brutus, they are no
doubt ready to Justify themselves in
the pious chorus: ''Not that we love
our party's success the less, but our
gold the more"

BRYAN SURE TO WIN
Nothing But 0verconidence
Can Defeat Him.
Election In Maine and Vermont Cut No
Figure Mckinley Gets One Fifth
Of the Electoral Vote II will be Per-
sonal Triumph.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-Bryan will car
ry every State west Of Pennsylvania
and south Of the Potomac river. Such
is the deliberate opinion Of those who
have kept in touch of the free silver
sentiment which now pervades the
great producing section Of the United
States
Nothing but overconfdence can lose
this fight. 1t is true that the forces
of the people are not yet thoroughly
organized A perfect political organ
ization is possible only by the prodlgal
expenditure Of money. The victims
Of the gold conspiracy are not able to
meet Mark Hanna when il comes to
raising money. Every trust which
feeds upon the people is contributor
to the Republican corruption fund.
Every man who has grown rich at the
hands Of the Belmont Morgan-Rot
child syndicate has been compelled to
disgorge part of his plumber and to
turn it into the Golfers Of the Repub-
lican campaign fund.
We can and will win this battle In
spite Of all the money which the con-
federated syndicates, trusts and GRIM
inal combines in the United States
are able to collect and squander.
They make much ado about Maine.
Maine is not on the political map OF
the United States. Neither is Yer.
mont. The good citizens of these two
States have no sympathy and are not
in accord with the current thought OF
the nation. Vermont is the only
State in the Union which showed a
decrease in population in 1890. The
great west ships corn and wheat into
Vermont and Maine the same as Il
England and non-agricultural coun-
tries. You cannot expect Maine to
vote for dollar wheat. Show Maine
how she can increase the price Of red
herring, and on that issue you can
sweep the State.
| Oregon, Alabama, Tennessee and
Arkansas have recently been carried
against the single gold standard by
record breaking maiorities. Against
this gold has carried Maine and Yer.

stands on the electoral votes of these

go ask the sailors of the great

thugs in Cleveland shot and beat
and starved into submission. Go ask
the miners of Michigan, Ohio
and West Virginia. Every dollar
of the millions which he has accu-
mulated is tainted with the sweat
and blood of oppressed and down
trodden labor.
''He glories in the fact that his
money and his work secured McKin-
ley's nomination, and expects them
to secure his election.
with HIM ARE ENGAGED
