In the Southern states and the
Southwest there is the most feeling for
Mr.. Bryan: but | was very much sur
prised to find how much more of the
sound money sentiment there is in the
South than / would have expected.
There seems to be as many people talk
ing that side as talking silver The
general feeling seems to be that there
is no doubt of Mr. Mckinley's cleo
ton. At the same time there is an
anxiety among business men in the
fear that something might happen that
would carry the election the other way.
although they do not see how it is
possible. l notice that a great many
people from doubtful states asserted
that had the election been held a few
weeks ago Mr.. Bryan would have car
ried those states. but that the great ed
ucational campaign Of the Republican
committee had entirely changed the
feeling and sentiment Of the people
The gains have all been made for the
sound money side lately.
Another feature of the campaign is
the large number of American flags
lying everywhere on the Republican
side. Over confidence is bad thing
but every indication points TO Major
McKinley's election by very large

TREND OF OPINION
Of West and South on the Presidential Ques-
tion-A Great Fight On.

A reporter of the Journal met an Au-
gusta gentleman. who has been trav-
cling in the West and South. and who
has unusual opportunities for observ-
ing the trend of public opinion. We
print for the interest of our readers
some of the conversation regarding
political affairs in the Western and
Southern states. He said in part:
The people of the East have very
little conception of the fight which is
being carried on in the middle West
Throughout New England and the
Eastern states generally the sentiment
is entirely for Mr.. Mckinley. 1t is
overwhelmingly so in New York state.
The business interests throughout the
country seem all one way, and are
daily growing stronger in opposition to
Mr.. Bryans election.
But the moment the middle West
is reached the evidences of a great
fight are on every hand. l have been

no case have l ever seen anything like
the present year 1t is the one topic
of conversation on the cars, streets. in
hotels and everywhere and it is all
that you hear Business is absolutely
at a standstill, and what orders are
being placed are contingent on the re-
suits of the election.
1T is generally felt and openly stated
ness will revive this winter, and on
sure foundation; and that confidence
will be Immediately felt On the other
hand it is equally certain, and even
allowed by the silver people, that
should Mr. Bryan be elected it would
be the most disastrous winter we have
ever seen. His supporters claim, how
ever, that Immediately after every
thing would adjust itself and that we
much more prosperity than we now
have.
THE interest in politics is of almost
an intense nature. You see everywhere
in cities the curbstone orators with
crowds around arguing, and open air
meetings day and night. I was told
that there have never been such great
meetings held in the West and South
as are there this year. The parade in
Chicago was an immense affair. There
were very few uniformed clubs but an
immense number of men marching. |

this procession was passing and the !
sidewalks jammed with people. 1t was
estimated that over 10000 people |
were on the sidewalks, roofs and win
dows along the line of march, which !
was a comparatively short one The |
enthusiasm was intense
"The two striking features of the |
campaign seem to be the number Of
people that go to Canton and the

very difficult thing, where every story
is contradicted. for stranger to place
much reliance on wnat he gathers, but
at the National headquarters both in
New York and Chicago the Republi-
cans are certain that the election of
Mr. Mckinley is beyond the possibility
of doubt. and the claims of MIR. Bry-
ans managers are looked on much in
