start With there are TOUR SOuUuOrH
states Maryland, Delaware, West
Virginia and neutrality-suspicious. are al
most certain to be carried by McKin-
ley and Hobart, and which are con-
coded by many silver men as being
already lost to Bryan. There is a
fighting chance for the republicans to
carry North Carolina, although it has
been lessened by the fusing of the
democrats and populists, which some
republicans think ought to have been
and could have been prevented. Ten
nessee republicans have assured the
| National committee that the state can
be carried for Mckinley, if the COM
mittee will lend it's help to get out the
full republican vote, and the commit
tee has promised to do so. The re-
publicans will also make lively fight
in Alabama, not with the expecta-
ton of electing the Mckinley and Ho-
bart electors, but of indirerectly
helping the sound money democrats
of that state to carry some of the con-
gressional districts and to select the
Palmer and Buckner electors. The
Alabama democrats and populists are
so hot against each other that they
will probably not fuse.
According to Comptroller Eckels,
who has been making sound money
speeches in Illinois, Bryan is thor
oughly beaten and will not carry
single one of the Mississippi valley
states. He also says that Altgeld is
making his canvass for Gov. Of Ill
inois Independent of the Bryan cause,
but that he will be beaten anyway.
Even the women in the district of
Columbia are taking an active part in
the fight for Mckinley and Hobart
and honest money and the right to
earn it by honest toll. The Auxiliary
Women's Republican Association has
been organized, to assist the McKin-
icy and Hobart marching Campaign
Club. This is the first women's club
organized in Washington during the
present campaign, its object being, as
stated in it's constitution, 'sto unite
the women of this community in edu-
cational work and social influence for
the maintenance of the principles of
the republican party in the home, in
the state, and in the nation"
Bryan has proven himself to be a
bigger man with the democratic ma
chine of New York than Senator Hill
is. He said when Hill's candidate for
governor, John Boyd Thacher, wrote
that letter, expressing his willingness
to run for governor on a platform en-
dorsing the Chicago platform, while
declaring himself unalterably opposed
to the free coinage of silver, that
Thatcher would have to get off the
ticket. And now, 10 and behold,
Thacher is off the ticket Democrats
in Washington will not be surprised
if this last humiliation put upon Hill
for Palmer and Buckner Or sulking
during the campaign.
Chairman Babcock, of the Repub
lican Congressional committee, has
just returned from New York, where
he conferred with Chairman Hanna,
Senator Quay and other members of
the Republican National committee,
and he is in a very jubilant state of
mind. He says that everything is 60
ing McKinleywards, and that the re-
publican who isn't contented with the |
present drift Of public sentiment must |
be hard to satisfy indeed.
There is great joy among repub
licans hereabouts. Speaker Reed has
promised to address a big Mckinley
and Hobart meeting to be held in
early in October, under
the auspices of the National Union
Republican Club, and Representative
Cowen, of Maryland, democrat who
is doing good work for Mckinley and
has promised to address the same
Many republican organiza-
tions in Maryland, Virginia and West
have already signified their
to take part in this meeting
and there is little doubt that it will be
a mammoth affair.
A hacking cough is not only annoying to
others, but is dangerous to the person who |
has it. One Minute Cough Cure will quickly |
put an end to it. III. G. Pierce, Barton.
