The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-10-01

The free silver organ of the city of
New York, on August ), asked: How
can they possibly beat Bryan claiming
that Bryan already had go electoral
votes. Mr.. Bryan then went to New
York and made speeches and on Septem-
Der the 25th Chairman Jones claimed in
the New York Herald 220 votes for Bry-
an in the electoral college. The logic of
the claim in August and the claim in the
latter part of September is that Bryan's
speeches lost him forty-tive electoral
votes, leaving him under the latter claim
only 300 votes. and not enough even of
the first claim to elect. which requires
224 votes in the electoral college. What
sacrifice to the free silver democracy.
According to their own authority he be-
gan canvass in New York with enough
votes to elect him and came out of the
canvass with not enough votes to elect
him. The New York speeches of Bryan
were very disastrous to his party.

Free silver orators harp on the condi-
ton of the farmer. asserting that it is in
finitely worse now than some years back.
The figures that appeared in The States
man yesterday morning Enthusiastically
show that the farmers condition is bet
ter. They show that with the products
of his farm today he can buy great
deal more of the necessities of life than
he could in 1850. OF some articles he
can buy twice as much as he could in
1850; of some, two and three times rs
much. Articles, too, that are of prime
necessity and that he can not do with
out The farmer is evidently all right
in spite of the free silver calamity howl,
crs.

THE ACTION OF THE CONGRES

UNEXPECTED.
some CAMPAIGN BETTING FIGURES.
They Show How to Gamble on the No
vember Election-A Full List of the
Presidential Candidates That Can
Be Voted for This Year.

The action of the republican congress
sional plenary committee in knocking out
Judge Makemson was not unexpected in
political circles. as it was known that
the committee had an opinion of its own
and did not propose to be dictated to by
Gen. Huston or anybody else. When
the general left here Sunday night he
said that Judge Makemson would get the
nomination without any trouble but it
seems that he was mistaken. This oX-
plains the uncertainty of politics in this
glorious Nineteenth century of ours.
Monday night Col. Nat Q. Henderson
was counting on three votes out of the
five, but yesterday the committee de-
cided that they wanted Maj. Burke and
they had him. 1t is now understood
that the friends of Judge Makemson pro-
pose to take steps looking to the decap-
itation of McGar, the congressional chair
man. In case this is done lively fight
will doubtless be resultant and there will
be some more fun in this congressional
district.

Most all the ring, after few days
rest, are again starting out to beat the
brush in all sections of the state. They
have been hard worked set of men this
year and no mistake about it. They are
rather badly frightened and are making
the fight of their lives. 1t is question
now as to whether their fight will not
be Il hopeless one in the end, but be that
as it may, the populists and republicans
say that they are going to poll a vote
for kearby this year that will make the
silver democrats so sore that they will
never recover from the result They
also say that they will win with hands
down on their bittle and are fighting TO
that end. The result will undoubtedly
be close, even if the populists do not win,
and the result will be anXiously awaited.
