MARYLAND FOR BRYAN.

When James Creelman, special
correspondent Of the n. \. World,
was giving away one State after an
other in the west to Mckinley, |
thought him really liberal, but when
he turned Maryland in too, it rather
''riled'' me, and now that West Nir-
ginia is also thrown in. enter pro-
test. Let us see2
In 1888 Maryland had Demo
cratic plurality of CLIO. In 80 it
was 22,04S. In 81 Frank Brown

it was 2l,130, yet in '95 Lowndes'
Rep plurality 1910. The state
was then more soldily Democratic
than I ever knew it to be, but they
voted with the opposition, to correct
some real or supposed wrong. 1t was
clear case of laying down its life,
for the time, with a positive knowl
edge of being able to take 1t up
again, which they are doing in earn
est this year
This State, under normal condi-
tions, has plurality of over 10000,
as former votes show. so il 10000

him the State, But all put them be-
low 10000. while the most eonserv-
ate estimate, over two Republicans
will vote for Bryan for every Demo
cratic bolter.
While in West Virginia few
weeks ago said the State would go
for Bryan, but his majority might
be small. / now say that, after the
most thorough investigation, it will
exceed 10000. but more likely to go
above 10000.

Long. and Painted Like Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also a trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

Bynum Takes a Gloomy View.

Congressman w. ID. Bynum, who
recently resigned as chairman of the
National (Gold) Democratic Com
mittee, was in New York a few days
ago Mr. Bynums business is to
raise money for the campaign, that
Indiana, Illinois and other States
may be carried for Mckinley.
Don NJ. Dickinson, of Michigan,
also arrived in the city yesterday,
and it is expected that Mr.. Dickin-
son and Mr. Bynum will have a con
ference with the Republican leaders
to-day
The eS-chairman of the Hanna
cratic Committee is not as certain OF
the outcome of the election as he
was two weeks ago. Speaking Of
the situation in Illinois and Indiana
Mr.. Bynum said:
Anybody who talks about what
Indiana or Illinois will do does not
know whnt he is talking about. In
the southern part of Illinois | know
that the whole country is for free
silver. | know from gold Democrats
that men wearing Mckinley buttons
are visiting Democratic National
headqE srseys in Chicago every day
and soaring free silver terature
which they are distribut ( to their
fellow workmen The Il publicans
have a perfect organization. They
are sending out about three carloads
of literature every day.
I'm Indiana many Democrats will
vote for Mckinley, but many Repub-
lieans are going to vote for Bry-
an or course, the Democrats lack
organization, but anybody who
thinks they have no votes is badly
mistaken. Nobody knows just how
the farmer vote and the working
mems vote is going.
A friend of mine, gold Demo
crat, but who has stayed in the Or
ganization, talking to me the other
day, said that he addressed meet
ing of 300 men. The meeting was
secret one of railroad men. The 300
were for Bryan OF that number
more than half wore Mckinley and
Hobart buttons.
II met a man whose brother is
running for Congress in one of the
districts. He himself is gold man,
but, naturally, wants to help his
brother. who is running on the sill
yer platform. asked him how
things were going and where he had
been, and he told me he had been
around in three counties and he had
never had such an experience in his
| life. He said that nearly every 9th
er man he had met had changed his
politics one way or the other, but
from what he had heard he thought
the silver men had the best of it.
The situation all over the West is
just the same, so far as / can learn"

OF course there may be differences
as to the doubtfulness of the states
we have put in the column of the bat
tie ground. They are confidently
claimed by both sides, and it follows
that we must displease both by this
estimate. The fact remains, however,
that most, If not all, of them are
doubtful--qulte enough so to- furnish
Mr.. Bryan with the 10 votes he needs,
surprising our figures given above to
be correct. And another fact remains,
at least from our point of view, which
is that, without fusion between the
Democrats and Populists, Bryan can
not get those 10 votes.
This is the conclusion of a journal
that has hitherto favored Mckinley
and predicted his election. 1t con-
ciudes Bryan's election depends on 10
electoral votes out of 102 in 10 states
which may or may not be gained by
fusion.
The news the last few days looks
like thorough and complete fusion in
every state where it is desirable or
necessary. For our own part, we have
never had doubt that differences about
vice president, congressman and state
officers would not be allowed as cleo
tion approached to stand in the way
of thorough union on Bryan. That is
the supreme issue. The Others are of
secondary Importance. The American
people are practical. If they want
Bryan and free silver, as we believe
they do, personal considerations in
two or three states about minor offices
will not be allowed to stand In the
way.
The Washington Post having been
taken roundly to task by its Republic
can friends for the favorable review of
the Bryan canvass that it presented
rejoined in its next issue:
We cannot elect Mckinley sby get
ting together under an umbrella ard
resolving that Bryan is as good as de-
feated at the present moment. 1t is
foolish to blind ourselves to the exis-
tence of the earnest millions who dwell
beyond the Potomac and the Alleghen-
les. Those millions are there and
| they must be taken into account. We
can not dispose of them by making a
great hullabaloo over here on the At
lantic coast.
We still maintain that in the event
OF fusion between the Populists and
the Democrats everywhere Bryan may
safely count upon 205 votes to begin
with, and we still stand to the list OF
doubtful states from among which
Mckinley must get "a votes, while
Bryan needs to get only 10, in order
to be elected.

The gold Democrats forsake the
party which has in many cases be-
friended them financially because they
cannot vote against their principles.
What noble self sacrifice, what hero
ism, what great denial this costs these
wiling martyrs. How much gratitude
an admiring people should have for
these patriots. They are willing to
turn their backs on the grand polit-
ical organization to which they have
belonged for years, to go with no
hopes of victory, merely for conscience
sake. Free silver is so utterly foreign
to Democratic principles. These are
the specious pleas put up by this ag-
gregation of political swindlers. These
are the falsehoods our Gondly imagin-
ed) gullible people are asked to swal-
low If they cannot vote against
their sentiments, why are they doing
something that will aid in the cleo
ton of Mckinley. Who is Mckinley
any way that he deserves the suffrage
of true Democrats? A supporter OF
free coinage twice, voting another
time to pass such bill over the Pres
ident's veto. A self styled friend Of
silver, now a political renegade fol
profit. A champion of a 'fraud and
robbery in the shape of tariff bill.
The creature of Mark Hanna and his
ilk. A man of every political belief
and firm advocate of but one and in
that he is practically alone. This is
the man that those true Democrats
are supporting and endeavoring t.
elect over a regularly chosen Demo
cratic nominee. Was there ever il
history such spectacle of disgusting
hypocricy presented to the eyes of in
telligent voters? Will they be mis-
lead?

General John NJ. Palmer, nominee
of the Gold Democrats for President,
used the following language in the
senate of the United States no far
Their back than in the year 1892, just
four years ago:
ut is all very well to abuse the
friends of the silver dollar as infla-
tionists, thieves, repudiationists and
all sorts of things, but really the
friends of the gold dollar ought to
pay the same attention to the mem
bers of the convention who framed
the United States constitution, and
who made the silver dollar the unit
and standard of value in this coun
try"
He further said, IF there can be
such thing as a dishonest dollar,
that miserable, sham trick and trav-
esty of a coin, gold dollar, exactly
fills that designation

A canvass made by Star reporters
through the congressional delegations In
dicates that the silver men are apt to have
. majority Of the delegates to the demo-
cratic national convention. It takes two
thirds to nominate. but a majority adopts
the platform. There are expected to be
R8O delegates, including six from each ter
rttory and the District of Columbia. The
choice of candidates does not yet enter
much into the discussion of the national
convention. This choice depends so muef
upon the policy adopted by the party thai
It seems useless to discuss candidates unit
1t Is determined which faction of the party
II going to control the convention.
The first question is. What are demo
cratic principles? A large element, COM
posed chiefly Of the old-fashioned demo-
Gratis and those holding to old-fashioned
theories, insist that bimetallism in the true
sense of the word; that is. silver and gold
on equal footing as standard money, is one
OF the articles of democratic faith. An
other element, of which Mr.. Cleveland is
the recognized leader, hold to a gold stand
ard of value and the use of silver only in
subordinate capacity, If at all. measured
In its value by gold. Which Of these ele-
ments repr esents the party is to be deter
mined
Candidates are spoken of in a tentative
way. but there is not even a boom start
ed yet for any of them. Though most peo-
pie have come to the conclusion that Mr.
Cleveland himself will not again be a can
dfdate. the opinion is held by men eminent
In the party and of the widest political ex-
