Prediction Made That He VIII Carry
New York.
Nashville SUM-
E. Il. DOZier, formerly of this city,
now travelling salesman for a Chi
cago paper mandatory, has written
letter to Douglas Anderson which
contains some interesting informa.
ton in regard to the political situa-
ton in "the enemy's country" 9TH
erwise known as york State.n The
letter was written at Syracuse, Aug.
30, and is as follows:
g wrote you four years ago on the
line of the presidential election. You
remember my prophesy and it's re-
suit. | will now write you within
two months of the election and tell
you that Bryan will be the next
President, just as l wrote you Cleve-
land would be elected. Bryan's
prospects are much brighter than
Cleveland's were, and his election is
going to be by an overwhelming
majority.
II was with him, or rather on the
same train, from Chicago to New
York. have nevor witnessed such
enthusiasm. The demonstration in
Pittsburg surpassed anything ever
seen in that city. Republicans
frankly admit that no public man
ever received such an ovation. His
swing around the circle, in this
State has created for his cause
an undying devotion. / saw the
great crowd in Buffalo, numbering
fully $4,000, amazed and captured by
his match lnGc To 10 lnnly
ed upon as the tribune of the COM
mon people, and in the agricultural
districts they fairly worship him.
II bave talked with the iobbers in
all these large cities, and they tell
me that their travelling men, who
visit every hamlet, Crossroads and
store in the country, hear nothing
but Bryan and silver, silver and
Bryan, and that the whole farming
vote is going to him.
Can this vote be won back by
the Republicans? Never. The cause
of free silver has been ground into
every fibre of their being, and there
is no power on earth that can change
them until they have tried it.
II was present at the great meet
ing at Niagara Falls, which is in the
heart of an agricultural district, and
has always been overwhelmingly
Republican. saw an assembly of
10000 farmers, 80 per cent. of whom
are Republicans, simply go wild
over this man. This assemblage
was presided over by a Republican,
who resigned the Craftsmanship of
the Republican County Committee
in order to work for the election OF
Bryan, whom he spoke of az second
Lincoln.
II tell you it is a peaceful revolu.
ton, and Pennsylvania, with its
100000 Republican majority, is
trembling in the balance. All the
effort of Mckinley to drag the tariff
into the campaign is Of no avail
The people will not heed it; they
are determined that this money
question shall be settled, and settled
in the cause of humanity and not ii
the interest of bond brokers anC
stock gamblers, who have used the
Government Treasury for the las
twenty years to further their owl
end.
"The masses of Republicans fee
that they have been outraged and
Inundated By their platform, anC
know that the election of Mckinley
means four years more of Cleveland
ism and its syndicate of bond sharks
and gold gamblers. They are now
determined to teach their party {
lesson it will never forget.
MARK my prediction This State
will be carried by Bryan, and th'
farmers are going to furnish the
votes. He will not get them in thu
cities, where the laboring man il
held as a chattel and his vote owned
by a corporation boss; they give thu
laboring man an object lesson when
ever they catch him with a Bryan
button on by telling him his services
are no longer needed"
Mr.. Dozier's territory embraces al
the large cities from Boston to New
Orleans, and he has a wide acquain
lance among political leaders o
Ohio and Illinois, having represent
ed the Chicago Herald as staff cor
respondent a few years ago. He ha
always taken an active interest il
politics. When he was in Nashville
June he felt certain that McKinle.
would be nominated and elected
The above letter, therefore, ma.
open the eyes of some people il
Nashville who should know that tn,
farmers of New York are just lik'
the farmers of Tennessee-in favO
