Mackinac say shey eiuo'h sse
Bryan buttons. Two hack drivers told
me they see eight and tep Mckinley
buttons 10 n silver button Others tell
mo they notice the great difference.
These people handle the masses, all do
9aethriving business and these men have
4 the best of opportunities &f0r finding
tout the political standing. What Is true
3of Mckinley buttons here s true on all
Z the trains, tho lake steamers and else
where Among the 800 people who
camerup on the steamer City Of Mack
inac from Louisville, Cincinnati. Day
ton, indianapolis. st. Louis. New Or
Jeans and other cities ! noticed ten Nc
Klnley buttons to one Bryan. This Is
lsaid to be true, of the crowds that come
from Chicago, Buffalo and other cities.
II have talked with Democrats who say
theyfcannot stand Bryan.
Among these is n prominent business
man and a politician of Louisville, who
has held several offices and who Was
prominently mentioned for mayor OF
that city on the Democratic ticket. He
is gold Democrat and what he SAYS
lis pleasing to the Republicans. This
gentleman said:
t:McKinley will carry Kentucky. Our
state Is the birthplace OF sound money.
The Sentiment Is very strong down our
way. l. propose to vote the national
ticket and I will have lots OF company.
1t Is an outrage to have Bryan forced
upon us, and we VIII not stand It. He is
no financier andtI am opposed to him
as we'll as Tillman, Altgeld and others
who ran that conventions. You ought to
have! seen the sound money convention
held at Louisville. 1t was the finest
convention ever held In Louisville.
Hundreds of the leading business men
colour city were there. You could not
find a prominent business man at his
place during the time of THAT conven-
ton, which has sown great seed"
Another Louisville man made a SINH
lar report OF politics In the blue grass
state.
asked a conductor running on the
wheeling & Lake Eric Railroad be-
tween Wheeling and Massillon if It is
true that nine-tenths OF the railroad
conductors and other railroad men are
for sound money, and he replied that
they are almost unanimous because
they know It Is to their interest and
they will vote this way. A conductor
who rms between Masslllon and ToIe-
do was asked the same question and
!! he answered..,sYes, you will find u large
majority OF the men on the road are for
the gold standard. We know that free
U silver would be a bad thing for both
tbs railroad companies and the en-
Moves. I can not understand why any
Z railroad man or any ]workingman
xsf,ould be for N tfty.cent dollar, Yes,
believe the majority of the travellers
want the gold standard: The sentimen,
IS growing"
~? On this same train a Chicago mar
mid me he believed Mckinley would
carry Illinois II he wa afraid hltgeld
wouid5 he reelected. He said the free
silver tIments ia not nearly SO str0nt
in his state MS II was aboutstte time OF
Chica convention,
