| Ol lIlc oI }dulieS. NlHRS are flot
apparently going their way. i'hs
Bryanites publlcally make light
OF the immense republican MAORI
ty III Vermont, aud say that il
was no more than they expected;
but it is much more than they eX-
pected. They knew the state
would go republican, just as they
know that Maine will go republi-
can, but they hoped that the MA
Iiority would befless than ii was in
/ 1892. Those supporters Of Bryan
who have been condemning the
tendency of his managers to chase
ralnbows in the east, instead of
concentrating their efforts upon
the middle west, where they have
some show to win, regard the
Vermont election as proof that
they were right.
The result Of the Vermont cleo
ton has had very enthusing ef-
feet upon the republicans. From
the first they have had the best
management and the most money
and now they have the most con-
/ fldencea
The action of the Indianapolis
convention has had a depressing
effect upon the Bryan managers,
although they know that the tick
ct nominated will not cary sim
gle state. They fear that it may
help Mckinley TO carry more than
| one by getting votes that would
otherwise go to Bryan.
The money question is being
brought home to the Bryan man
ayers i'll a very disagreeable man
ner. They have been disappoint-
ed in their expectations of con-
trlbutious, and don't know where
they are to get the money needed
to pay their campaign bills.
The little game Of politics
which has been played over the
printers employed by Senator
Stewart to get his paper out has
been both interesting and anus
ing, and it is going to add, for a
time anyway, 25 per cent to the
wages of those printers. The fact
has been widely published that
Senator Stewards paper is set up
and printed in Alexandria, Va,
although it carries a Washington
date line, and that the work is
done there because there is no
Typographical union in that town
and printers work for about half
what they get in Washington Off
ces run under union rules. The
managers Of the gold campaign
thought they saw a chance to hit
the silver men a hard blow by
spreading these facts broadcast,
and then they made a direct play
at Senator Stewards pocketbook
/ by making arrangements to have
Alexandria placed under the iur-
isdiction of the Washington typo
graphical Union, The senator
headed off this move by getting.
the printers of Alexandria to ap-
| ply for a charter for a union of
their own, promising to pay what
ever scale they may adopt. So
the printers are certain of in
creased pay until the election is
over, whatever they may get aft
erwards.
The following, which explains
itself, was given out by Secretary
Difendorfer, of the silver commit
tee, and endorsed by Chairman
Faulkner, of the democratic COM
inittee: "NTy attention has just
been called to a certain publica-
ton called The Cross of Gold.
Upon the title page is displayed
cross in gilt, upon which is d
picture representing a working
man crucified. | have not ex-
anlined the script Of this work,
consequently am unable TO pass
an opinion upon what it contains,
but | desire the public generally
to understand that we, as silver
people, do not propose to shock
