Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 26.-With such
diligent inquiries as could make. have
not yet been able to find and evidence OF
the movement away from Bryan, Of which
the high appdyltee of President Cleveland
whom I met ON my arrival here told me
he had observed in journeying through the
state. It is certainly not among the
workingmen Of Cleveland organized or
unorganized. According to the best infor-
nation I can get the proportion OF work
! ingment who propose to vote for Bryan
| is even greater here than in Chicago. and
is generally expressed by such phrases as
mckinley is not in it, while polls pri-
vately taken by delegates among their fell
| lows in the>plasterers' national convention
that met here last week and in that OF the
carpenters now in session, shows that
nine-tenths of the representatives from all
parts of the Union are for Bryan. s.
That the Palmer Democrats Of Ohio

that in order to get the 5000 signatures

We discovered any rapidly growing re-
lpugnance to silver, is best evidenced by
such speeches as that of Cliff Beech, the
Republican candidate for congress In the

almost entirely to the outright advocacy

Ex-Judge E. j. Blanc1in, of Cleveland, a
| lawyer of high standing and large prac-
| tice, was nominated by the Democrats for
| judge of the supreme court. The ctHce
| he did not want, as to take it would much
reduce his income, yet as stanch Demo-
1 .crat and an earnest free silver man, he
was willing to accept the nomination if, as
he first thought might be the case, it
| would involve no danger of election; but,
] becoming convinced that if he remained
on the ticket he would be elected he last
month declined, and another nomination
| has been made in his place.
I asked Judge Blandin, whom l have
knows for years to have the character and
reputation of an extremely careful and
conservative man, whether he was still Of
opinion that it was necessary for him to
/ decline the nomination In order to avoid

| part of the state a counter movement be-
ginning.
/ His reply was that he could see the mat

! duced him to decline; that there might
have been some little sagging when the
news of the Maine election was received,
but that, if it had been the case, it had
been only temporary, and that throughout
4 Northern Ohio the movement Of the farm
| ers to free silver was now going on faster
| than ever, while the defections from the
Democratic vote were so small as hardly
to be worth taking into account.

polled, in round numbers, $4,000 votes.
