AN INDEPENDENT ESTIMATE.

Best of the Race

The Washington Post Gives Bryan the
Best of the Race
The Washington Post, an independ-
ent gold-standard paper that is sup
porting Mckinley, is by no means con
fident that the Ohioan's chances for
election are better than those of his
opponent. After careful canvass of
the situation it is convinced that with
out fusion with populists and indepen-
dent of outside influence. Bryan is
certain to carry Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mlssis-
sippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Ten
nessre, Texas, Virginia, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, N. Dakota,
S. Dakota, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming, with a total vote of 14S. In
the event of fusion with the populists,
it says Bryan is reasonably certain of
the 81 votes of Kentucky, Kansas. Ne
braska, Indiana and North Cai olina.
leaving him only 10 short of election.
In concluding it's estimate of the final
result, and expressing it's doubt of
McKinley's success, the Post says:
"We still mlintain that in the event
of fusion between the populists and
democrats everywhere. Bryan may
safely count upon 205 votes to begin
with, and we will stand to the list OF
doubtful states from which Mckinley
must get 81 votes. while Bryan needs
to get only 10, in order to be elected.

Free Excursions to Canton Makes Votes
Against Mckinley.

A gentleman of this city received
communication from q relative who
resides at Moticelo, Ind., who recently
went on one of those free excursions
to Canton, from which the following
extracts are taken:
Il was over to Mecca few days ago
Il suppose you know where that isl and
saw the golden calf" but could not
worship at his shrine.
.sYou know l have been q republI
can all my life. When 1 read the St.
Lonis pn ,rm it shocked my faith
considerably, for I expected something
b TT -, tn II thought over the matter
and concluded it was probably for the
best.
son my rounds [ met good many
men who tad been to Canton. Most
of them denounced it as a sham and
farce, some did not care to say much
about it, and others considered it
grand. I decided if there was another
chance I would go and see for myself.
The chance came, SO 1 arranged to go,
and tho head manager seemed pleased
to have me. We arrived at Canton
about A. NJ. and were marched direct
to Mr.. McKinley's home. We had a
pleasant reception. He made US a
speech, appeared to know all about our
occupation, and trimmed his speech to
suit. After the reception, many men
passed through the crowd inviting US
to have refreshments. We were led
down the street about two blocks where
they led US into q large beer hall
where there were many walters. all
very busy. They told me this hall
brought more money on the capital in
vested than any other investment in
Carton; that it was not uncommon for
this place to take in S140O to $500
day during these excursions, also that
the property belonged to Mr.. McKin-
ley and has been rented for a saloon
for many years. A company had pro-
ceeded US from Southern Ohio and
many of them were reeliEg in the
streets shouting for Mckinley. We
left the beer hall in disgust and hunted
for other amusements, and visited the
principal factories of the city, where
we found the working men wearing
Mckinley buttons, but were informed
that over 80 per cent of the men will
vote for Bryan. Others told me that
one-third the members of the McKin-
ley clubs have gone over to Bryan,
and many who stay in will vote for
him at the polls.
"In Canton met Hanna's foreman,
the one he discharged for attending
the populist convention at ST. Louis.
He told me Canton would give Bryan a I
good majority, and the state would
give him from 10000 to 10000. He
says silver is sweeping Ohio like cy-
clone. This man is making more votes
for silver than Hanna and Mckinley
are for the gold standard.
"After my trip to Canton have de-
cided to vote for Bryan, and 25 out of
the go who went with me have come !
out openly for him. don't know how /
many more of them will do likewise on
election day."

THE REruBL1oAN RALLY.
Last Saturdays Meeting Was the Event
of the Republican Campaign.

Last Saturdays Meeting Was the Event
of tne Republican Campaign.
The republican rally last Saturday
night was intended to be the crowning
event of the campaign as waged by
the supporters of Major Mckinley in
Wasco county, and neither time nor
expense was spared to make the meet
ing success. The Mckinley zouaves
had been properly uniformed. L brigade
Of torch carriers had been supplied and
The Dalles concert baud was secured
TO produce ch; ering strains of music:
aad with all these tla 5orate demon
stratiOns the process sion that formed at
the republican headquarters and
marched through the streets co1tajned
just l43 by actual count. When The
procession reached the Vogt opera
house that spa.io.s hall was cuia
fortably filled, bat not to overilowing,
as the seating capacity was not over
taxed.
The prominence of the speaker, and
the high regard in which he is held by
all would no doubt have drawn fully as
large crowd without any demonstra-
tion, or had he been billed TO deliver an
address on any other subject than the
political issues of the day, for there is
no other man ia the state to whom the
people OF Oregon would more readily
listen than ex-Attorney-General Will
liams.
General Williams entered upon the
discussion of his subject in a mastery
manner, and from a republican stand
point handled it ably. The people of
The Dalles he said were sufficiently
conversant with the question of tariff.
hence he gave it only passing notice,
and devoted his attention to consid-
Grafton of the money question. He
and his party. he declared, adhered
strictly TO the gold standard, and any
deviation from this policy would be
disastrous, even unto proc ucing blood
shed, he feared, though he did not ex-
plain how this disaster and blood
spilIing were to be brought about.
whether or not tie gold standard peo-
pie would take up arms and go to
shooting down the masses for voting
for Bryan, or whether the latter would
spill their own blood voluntarily after
having voted for free coinage.
Mir. Williams address was indeed
strongly partisan in every utterance,
which can be accounted for in the
long service he has rendered the re-
publican party, and has no doubt mar
rowed his views to some extent, full
filling the fears of General Washing
ton, that partisanship is liable to blind
patriotism and cause statesmen to
steer the ship of state upon shoals

An Innovation.

The matinee given by the Guild at
the Baldwin last Saturday was indeed
something unusual as an entertain
ment in this city, since it was one to
which ladies and children only were
admitted. This being the case, of
course no newspaper reporters were
there, hence all that could be learned
regarding the play was through hear
say. This however is to the effect
that the entertainment was success
in every sense Of the word, as are all
events conducted exclusively by and
for the ladies'. The farce, "The Gar
roters." was handsomely rendered.
evidencing the fact that Miss Grubbs
carefully and successfully drilled the
participants Another feature of the
entertainment was a male quartett
rendered by the ladies, which, if re-
ports are true, would have put all our
base and tenor singers to shame. The
entertairment-drew a fair house. the
Baldwin being comfortably filed, and
all who were fortunate enough to have
been admitted, pronounce the enter
tainment first class.
