GEN. EASLEY AT HOME.
The SurveyOr-GeneralH Has Returned
from the East Convinced That Bry-
an, Sewall and Silver Will
Win in November.

Surveyor General Easley, who returned
yesterday from attendance upon the su'
preme lodge of the Knights of Pythias
talked cheerfully and confidently to. q

ing the outlook for silver Democracy
in the pending campaign. He does not
seem to entertain the color of doubt OF
the election of Bryan and Sewall on the
Sd of November by an overwhelming
popular maj orlty and decisive major
ity in the electoral college.
Instead of "dying out" as the McHan.
Mates are industriously representing,
Gen. Easley says the scenes he witnessed
in the middle west and the testimony OF
clouds of witnesses convince him that
the SILVER craze" Is steadily spreading
among the people and now seems likely
to sweep Ohio from the eager hands OF
the Canton statesman. The ovation Mr.
Bryan received at Cleveland, Hanna'e
home, like those accorded him by en-.
thusiastic thousands wherever he has
spoken, was simply immense and IN.
precedented, proving beyond all doubt
that the peerless Nebraska orator and
statesman-the great commemorate q
hold upon the affections, respect and con.
tidence of the people that no power on
earth can weaken.
While in Cleveland, Gen. Easley met
both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and was charmed
by both of them. He said that Mr.. Bry
an instantly recognized him and recalled
with evident pleasure his visit to Santa
Fe last January.
Gen. Easley also met DR.. Sawyer, for.
merly of Gallup and Albuquerque, who ia
now living near Cleveland. Dr.. Sawyer
is an enthusiastic supporter of Bryan
Sewall and silver aud expressed the full
est confidence that the electoral vote Of
Ohio would be cast for Bryan.
On his way home Gen. Eaeley stopped
at his old home in Harrisonville, Mo.
and met many of his old neighbors and
friends. His visit there and at other
places in Missouri convinced him that
that great commonwealth would give an
overwhelming majority for Bryan as well
as for the entire Democratic state ticket
He never saw the people of Missouri sc
stirred up in a political campaign before.
They are all talking politics and the sill.
YER sentiment dominates everywhere
among the people. The woods are liter
ally full of silver Republicans, who are
among Mr.. Bryan's most steadfast and
enthusiastic supporters. Democrats dc
do not have to talk for their candidates
and cause. The silver Republicans fully
cover the ground and leave precious little
more to be said.
