hundred and thirty-two electoral votes, or
eight more than enough to elect.
1t will be noticed that in the above table
is not included states like Illinois, with "a
votes; Delaware, with three; Minnesota,
with nine; Michigan with IA; and Iowa,
with IL. In these states Bryans chances
are at least even. In fact, if the election
was to take place tomorrow, it is almost
certain that he would carry several Of these
states, If not all of them, and there is ev-
cry indication that the silver sentiment will
be stronger in these states on the third Of
November than at present. Thus it will
be seen that Bryan can be elected if all of
these central western states, which are
considered the fighting ground in the cam
paign, should go for Mckinley. If the re-
action against Hanna S Doodle campaign
continues, as 1t has set in during the last
10 days. Bryan will have votes to spare in
the electoral college. Today even Ohio is
trembling in the balance, and may go for
Bryan. AS we have said above, there is,
in fact, but one danger now, and that is
Hannas efforts to try to get dissentions on
the joint electoral tickets.
LABOR VOTE LINING UP AGAINST
MKINLEY.
The information received at headquarters
more unitedly this year than ever before.
The efforts at coercion and intimidation by
the employers of labor was never greater
than it was this year, and the manhood of
the laboring man is now beginning to rebel
against his master, who, not satisfied with
making him an Industrial slave, is now try.
ing to make him a political vassal also.
TIE gold people made an appointment a few
days ago for Powderly, in Chicago; adver-
tised him as a great labor leader, and did
everything in their power to get the labor
ing men out to hear him. But the laboring
people, believing that Powderly was in the
pay of their enemy, refused to go out to
hear him. He had only a handful of peo-
pie in a large opera house. Information is
received from a number of points where
emissaries are sent to talk to labOring men
in the interests of the gold standard. to
the eject that the results of all of these eff
forts have been to arouse the manhood of
the laboring men, and make them come out
bo.uly and declare for Bryan and silver.
The state election in Florida shows
falling off in the Democratic vote. 1t is un-
derstood that the two great railway sys.
TENS in that State will do everything in
their power to give the electoral vote Of
the state to Mckinley. But if a joint cleo
toral ticket can pc arranged tnere the state
is safe.
THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
In answer to telegram received from
the Evening Journal, Of Atlanta, today,
Chairman Butler sent the following dis
patch to that pa1Ir, which gives the view
Of headquartersAre concerning the Geor-
gia election. ItS as follows:
1.-The Evening Purnal, Atlanta, Ga: 1t
is almost certai4 Hhat majority of the
white votes of georgia was cast for the
Peoples Party state ticket. This is a
great gain over the party's last vote, and
is due to the personal popularity of Tom
Watson in his own state, and to the de-
sire of the people to rebuke the manage
ment' of the Democratic party in the state
affairs Of Georgia. Evidently the Demo.
cratic party is indebted to the negro vote
