How Members of the State Grange
Stand in Sentiment.


1t has been claimed by the advocates
OF free silver that the farmers were IN
favor Of free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at liz to l, on the ground that II
would benefit them greatly and that the
State would therefore be carried FOR
Bryan with whoop and by large
majority.
During this week. however, a large
body of representative farmers has been
in session here-the State Grange-not
only representative of the farmers but
sent as representatives of the oranges,
where questions of political economy
are largely discussed from a non-par-
tisan standpoint The preponderance or
opinion and intention to vote in the
coming election would seem, therefore,
to be good indication of the feeling OF
the farmers throughout the State, VINO
VIE re represented by these men.
One of the members of the State
Grange, out of curiosity and for his own
individual information. conceived the
plan of polling the grange during an al
ternOOn session. He sat down in the
ante-rOom and as his fellow members
came in he asked them to express their
individual preferences. Sixty members
passed in as he waited there and the re-
suit astonished him. Out of the sixty
forty We're for Mckinley, eighteen for
bryan and two were undecided. One OF
those two, however, stated that he
would vote for neither Bryan nor Pal
mer.
If this can be taken as a fair index OF
the feeling among the farmers, and II
would certainly seem to be the faires1
and most representative kind of test
the prospects for Bryan carrying the
State are not at all rosy.
