might go into the booths with a secret bal
lot for Bryan. He insisted that he was
thoroughly acquainted with what was go
ing on in railroad circles among the en-
ployes, and it all turned upon what he had
already Indicated. that they had fully made
up their minds, that there was no margin
that needed consideration Of those who
might be deemed uncertain.
Gen. Boynton, 'it is unquestionably
fact that with the many excellent facii-
ties l have had for ascertaihing the drift
of political sentiment in the central west
l discovered no evidence that in any ap-
probable degree justifies assertions here
among the democrats that the drift In the
central western states is now for Bryan
This is significant in view of the fact
that all of the gentlemen who talked to
me throughout this trip agreed in the opin-
ion that if the election had been held with
in a month of the Chicago convention
BRYAN would have been elected but that
now the current had entirely changed, and
the sweep was strong away from him.
Administration Influence.
Those gentlemen at democratic head
quarters here who are sneering at the
course of the administration and at the
President, and who think that their con-
domination of the President at Chicago is
influencing the democratic masses in the
west, as they expected it would, will find
themselves very thoroughly deceived when
the result of democratic voting becomes
known. Wherever I came in contact with
demo rats. and very large number OF
my most prominent army friends were Of
that party, there was unwavering and most
severe criticism of the uncalled-for attacks
upon MI. Cleveland and his administra-
ton which were made so prominent at
the Chicago convention. Among the masses
of his party the President is undoubtedly
regarded as an honest and courageous
man. and among business men everywhere,
in all parties. his course in upholding the
credit of the government, against the OBJ
stacles placed in his way by Congress. is
a matter of admiration and praise. These
men. Impractical in the management of a
political campaign. will. unless all indica-
tiCns which came within my view are
thoroughly decetful. awake to find that
the power and influence of an administra-
ticn cannot be eliminated from a cam

case rhe-public declarations of the Presi-
dent, over his own signature. and a strong
and unequivocal support he is receiving
from every member of his administration
will exert tremendous influence AND
wholesome effect upon democratic voting.
Indeed. 1t is probably not too much to say
that if the republicans succeed, and of re.

convinced, it will be due largely to the
courageous and patriotic course of the
administration. supported by the sound

Crime FoIIow& Prosperity.
rom the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Rev. Samuel G. Smith of the Minnesota
State University, who was one Of the speak
ers at the national prison congress, which
has just been held in milwaukee,. brought
out the interesting fact that crime is more
prevalent in times of prosperity than dur
ing time of business depression. This he
added, was in part explained by the fact
that during times Of prosperity drunken
ness and dissipation led up 30 the commit
ting of crimes He said that The PROPOSE
ton to the effect that crime had Increased
in the United States, while il had decreas-
ed in Europe, was entirely fallacy. His
observation had shown him ;hat the great
est number of crimes We're committed by
the most advanced and morally most pro-
gressive nations. For instance, the En-
glshman was much more addct ted 10 crime
than the East Indian. This was due 10 the
fact that the East Indian was one of an
old nation. satisfied 20 go along in his es-
tabltshed way. He did not take to- drink
and a result lid hot seek the paths
which led away from law and order.

Chairman Jones of the democratic ma

Jones states that in all the states classed

For the same reason he classes as doubtful
the states Of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin,
and claims for Bryan the electoral votes of
Illinois. Indiana, Kansas. Kentucky, Michi

The second days session Of the Interna-
t!onal Typographical Union at Colorado
springs yesterday was largely given over
to the transaction of routine business. The
subject of the coercion of the labor vote
in various parts of the country was
brought up. and the following resolution
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the International Typo
graphical Union denounces the efforts be-
ing made by certain corporations to coerce
or influence their employees in their votes
as a defiance of the most sacred rights of
the citizens as guaranteed to them by the
Constitution of the United States. and. be-
lieving that the permanency of republican
institutions depends upon an honest ballot.
we demsnd that the laws relating to the
intimidation IF voters no matter to which
class, rich or poor. the offender belongs, lie
rigidly enforced
A communication was received from the
International Association of Machinists
protesting against the International Typo-
graphical Union undertaking to control the
machine tenders in printing offices all over

Plan for Draining the Zuydcr Zee.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The special commission appointed by the
Dutch government to discuss the scheme
of draining the Zuyder Zee has just cub
n1ftted its report. which states that such
an undertaking is quite possible of success.
The work would take thirty-one years for
completion. and every year 1OO@0 Hectares
of land would be restored to cultivation. A
dixie thirty miles in legth will have to be
constructed extending from the extreme
end of south Holland to the eastern coast
of Friesland. The building of this dixie
which will be a width of thirry-five meters
at the base ard six meters high, will take
nine years. The total cost of the work is
estimated at f26N0,WU, which includes the
amount to be paid in indemnl,irs to the
fishermen of the Zuyder Zee. The total
value of the land thus grasped from the
ocean is estimated at f21,SWGW. so that
the Dutch treasury will net a profit Of a
clear n.UnWO. without reckoning the sub
stantial gain to the public wealth and a
corresponding increase in the annual reye-
nues from duties and taxes.

Chicago, giving the results yesterday of
the Chicago Record postal card vote says:
More than 1900 ballots were counted to-

1000 to the total of the former candidate
and more than 10000 to the vote OF the lat
