CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-National Com
mitteeman Cummings of Iowa has been
receiving at Republican national head
quarters in the last few days reports
from the Chairmen of the County Com
mittees in Iowa. He said they indicated
that the silver sentiment which immedi-
ately followed the nomination of Bryan
was largely dispersed, and that the Re
publicanS who We're at that time favor
able to silver were rapidly returning
to the Republican ranks. OF the ninety
reports received, not more than twelve
express any doubt as to the mainten-
ance of the normal party strnegth. All
indications from these reports are that
the Republican majority will be much
larger than one year ago, when it was
$4,000. A poll of all the trains during
the Iowa State Fair, which was at
tended by 100000 people, is alleged to
have resulted in two and one-half votes
for Mckinley to one for Bryan.
Replies from 500 subscribers to a
prominent agricultural paper published
here show two votes for Mckinley TO
one for Bryan among the farmers of IL
linois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Missouri
d. I1uSlOll, ca Ilttu SidlSS TedS-
urer. who has been at Fort Worth,
Texas, in the interest of Republican
harmony and fusion, telegraphed to
headquarters to-day as follows: Con
vention just adjourned. Largest, most
representative, harmonious, enthusi-
astic and confident in the history of
the State. Grant nominated Greene for
Chairman, who was elected by acclama-
ton. Conditions even more favorable
than previously represented. Perfect
reconciliation effected between all ele-
ments. Such harmony and accord pre-
vailing that l feel confident Texas will
furnish electoral votes for Mckinley"
Mr.. Hanna was pleased to hear from
National Committeeman Jameson of IL
linois that a poll Of 442 precincts in
twenty counties of this State just made,
many of them being Democratic,
showed 33 per cent. Republican increase
over 1894. Mr.. Jameson said he had
heard from the County Chairmen that
the Bryan speakers We're giving much
less attention to the silver question now.
Mr.. Hanna said he had received rep
resentatives of labor unions, who called
to assure him that he was right in his
| assertion that organized labor, outside
Of agitators and those who lived off the
unions, were for Mckinley personally,
and because of the principles he advo-
Gated in the labor class. Mr.. Hanna de-
clared his belief that Mr. Bryan was go
ing back to New York to stir up the pas
sions of the most dangerous class of
men. Mr.. Hanna said his hopes of sue
cess had been greatly strengthened
since Mr. Bryan's new policy had been
outlined in his letter of acceptance
Perry Heath said that after October
1St over twenty speakers sent out by
the National Committee would talk pro-
lection and tariff. He declared the
County Chairmen of the party are re-
porting that the Bryan speakers are
preaching revolution bald-headed and
nothing else''
