There is no doubt that there are
some of the POpulist leaders in Texas
in dead earnest over the attempt to
deliver the state to the Mckinley
forces, and while the movement
meets with opposition there is a
growing acceptance of the situation
of the necessity of doing so on the
part of the state Populists, who have
banked their all on the election of
Kearbey. 1t is now probable that two
thirds of the POpulist vote of the state
will go for Mckinley electors. This
will make the race for Culberson a
tight one and if the sound money
Democrats turn their votes that way
the issue will be in doubt to the very
end. The Democrats themselves
are getting anxious over the situation
and by no means are they certain of
victory.

The national campaign committee
is advertised as being ready to. take
the field for the Republican candi-
date in the Ninth Texas district
and help the nominee out of the hole.
1t is in order for the national commit

Twelfth. There is field here that
it will pay well to till. The Republi-
caifS. unaided redeemed the old
Twelfth district two Years ago, and
now that the Democracy are putting
forth every effort to recapture it, 1T
is in order for the Republicans of the
national house who are going to put
a shoulder to the Texas campaign to
send man or two Down into this sec

things: One, that Mckinley lost all
that he had in putting up for a friend
and that he turned over every particle
of his own fortune and that of his
wife to satisfy the creditors of his
friend for whom he had endorsed.
Another, that Slayden had himself
not long before actually failed in bus
mess, and was running for congress
ION the strtngth of that failure. 1t
was his mistake in thinking that his
audience were unacquainted with
these facts Slayden's methods of
treating this thing lost him votes
right where he thought he had driven
a spike in McKinley's coffin. 1t is

Little Boy Bryan announces with

Little Boy Bryan announces with
a flourish of trumpets that he will
carry the country without a doubt,
and when asked if he had any GER
tainty of carrying any of the New
England states, answered, Eyes, sew
eral of them" Webster defines, sew
eral, to mean more than two, but not
a great many. More than two is three
at the lowest computation, and as
there are only six states in the New
England group, three is half of them.
1t would be Interesting for Bryan as
a political prophet to designate the
three New England states he
will carry. More than that, he says
that he will not carry Maine, or at
least that Sewall will not Does he
think that Watson is going to knock
the stuffiing out of Sewall in Maine
while Bryan carries the state. The
confidence of the Boy Orator of the
Platte, is like unto that Of Napoleon
on his landing after his Imprisonment
at Elbe. Fate was his and could not
mar his destiny, but the fateful field
\pf Waterloo followed and so will
fryan face his Waterloo on the third
November.

There is no fusion with the Repub,
'licans and PopLlists in sight any
where that has for its object the cut
ting dOw Of the electoral ticket of
the Republican party, Fusion for the
purpose of increasing the Republican
congressional vote is the only order.
1t is no fusion of how great McKin.
ley's plurality will be, but that of cut
ting down the electoral vote of Bryan
to the smallest possible figures through
sound money detection.

County fusion is opposed all over the
state in spots, and the attempt to de-
liver the state over to the Populists is
complicated with the attempt to fuse
on county matters. The prevailing
opinion of the Republicans is that
the committee of adjustment went too
far when it included the county tickets
in the fusion with the Populists. Flu
sion for state and electoral officers is
as far as the majority of the Repub-
lictans of the state are inclined to go.

There is no longer any words vast
ed by the Popocrats over any of the
states east of the Mississippi, save
Michigan and Illinois. In the first
there is now certainty of ten of the
electoral votes of the state going for

more and more certain that both Alt
geld and Bryan will be actually clos
ed out of the race, distanced.

1t is confidently asserted in certain
sections of Oregon that the poll shows
decided gain for the sound money
forces within the past two months.
Where Bryan had a secure hold on
the voters even one month ago, there
the tide has turned and the state is
no longer certain for him. McKin-
ley's forces are pushing the fighting
and there is a chance to win.

California is a good way from Can
ton, but the faithful are going to
make pilgrimage to the shrine of

fornia is in the Mckinley ranks.

Bryan is under two masters now,
and the old scripture hath it that no
man can serve so many. He will al
so find that in sitting on two stools,
or in trying to, that he will come to
the ground. This also is destiny, and
the witches of this generation declare
that Bryan is in every essential the
child of prophesied success and pre-
arranged destinies.

The campaign in the southern
states will be largely carried by
the sound money Democrats against
the Popocrats, the Republicans aid
ing them to secure the electoral votes
of such states as would otherwise
give majority for Bryan. Florida,
Alabama and others are going to be
taken out of the Popocratic column
in this way, and sound money con-
gressmen elected as well as Palmer
and Buckner electors. There is no
doubt of Mckinley having votes
enough in the electoral college to car
~ that body, and the election of as
many sound money congressman as
can be returned is as an object, as
well as cutting out every state from
Bryan.

1t is estimated that the sound money
movement of the Democracy has di-
verted forty percent of Bryan's
strength in the states of Oregon,
Washington, California, Wyoming

Bryan is not going to carry one of
those states.

Douglass made more speeches than
any man who ever was nominated
for president, in trying to induce the
people to vote for him, at least he did
so until Bryan took the bit and ran
away with his campaign committee,
but Douglass was beaten by the man
who as president made very few
speeches, Bryan will be beaten by
the dignified gentleman who stays
at home.
