The outlook for the election Of
VIM. ]. Bryan to the Presidency of
the United States on the 3rd Of next
month is becoming surer and surer.
Fusion will make his election an
assured fact, and every day that
passes gives the Democratic party
renewed hopes and confidence.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
1t begins to look as if Illinois,
Michigan, California, Minnesota,
Oregon, Indiana, Iowa, Delaware
and possibly Ohio will fall into line
next month under the old battlefiag
of Democracy.
The estimates of the various
State Democratic Committees are
interesting. Chairman Hinrichsen
claims that Illinois, outside of
Chicago, will give Bryan majority
of 1000, while the chances are
good that he will carry the city.
In California, the Democrats and
Populists have fused, and Chair
man Gould claims the State by a
majority of 10000 votes.
Chairman Martin, of Indiana, is
satisfied with the outlook in the
Hoosier State, and counts upon a
majority of $4,000 votes for the
Democratic ticket.
Kentucky is safely Democratic.
In spite of Republican claims,
which are based solely on the power
of Doodle and not on the situation
as it exists today in that State,
Chairman Summers gives it as his
deliberate opinion that Kentucky
will poll majority of no less than
80, 600 for the Democratic nominee,
and that free coinage Legislature
will be elected. This means that
Senator Joseph G. S. Blackburn
will succeed himself in the United
States Senate.
Oregon is claimed by 5000, and
Delaware by 5000 majority. The
chairman of Michigan State Com
mittee counts on a majority OF
Is, 900, while the chairman of the
Minnesota and Iowa State Commit.
tees, without giving definite figures,
are nevertheless confident of Demo
cratic success.
In addition to the States which
are considered safe for Bryan, it is
only necessary to carry one or two
of the doubtful States to insure his
election. From these encouraging
reports it is evident that free coin
age is moving OH toward glorious
triumph in November. Atlanta

The following is true extract OF
speech made by Alexis Benoit. about a
week or ten days prior to the last Con-
pressionai election, in which he filed a
contest against the Hon. c. J.. Boat
ner. This speech was made by Mr..
Benoit in the first ward Of our parish,
and the Hon. Alexis stopped a
colored funeral procession to make it.
The speech is part OF the testimony
of Geo. C. King, given before U. s.
commissioner. Some will perhaps
doubt its truthfulness. but it can be
substantiated by dozen OF the very
best men of the first ward.
1t is horrible to think that this man
would have the cheek to stop funeral
cortege and talk for half an hour on
politics and disturb the solemnity Of
such an occasion. This shows what
the man would do:
am Mr.. Benoit, the colored peo'
pies friend. / am running against
Boatner. a gold bug, and am free
silver man. DO any of you know the
meaning of free silver man and 9
gold bugp A gold bug means, IL an

affairs" and free silver means. 81 an

Your wives have as much right to sil
at sewing machine and sew as any
white person and your children to be
at school as much as white children
but as long as you vote for Mr.. Boat
ner against your interests You deserve
all the punishment your prosecutors
will put upon you. have been work
ing for you for twenty years, and am
going to work for you until ! die, and
| wish for you to come out on the day
of election and vote for me. l hear
there is Boatner club organized here
1t makes no difference about signing
that. Sign the id club and vote fol

l hear there are some negro Democrats
here. No. a colored man could be q
traitor, but not Democrat.
