Mr. ApsIey also predicts the election of at |
least 224 Republican Representatives out OF
the total Of 35S.
Secretary of Agriculture Morton stirred up |
the Free Silverites to fearful pitch last week !
by saying: The finance which they teach Is |
entirely Confederate fiat. In the Southern |
Confederacy the same leaders who now are IN |
command of the picket. guards-for Free Silver |
at 16 to 1-were leading financers. And Har- |
ris Pugh. Morgan, and the other Confederate |
Generals now in command of the Bryan cani- |
paign seem to desire TO accomplish, by false |
finance, that which they failed to bring about |
by unconstitutional dishonor and disgrace"
Chairman Hanna now thinks that Missouri
is possible for Mckinley, and has given dircc- |
tons for opening a red-hot fight in the State.
The conference at Atlanta between the Popu-
list and Popocratic Committees resulted IN
bitter iisag reement, and fusion WAS declared
permanently off, Chairman Buck, of the Re-
publican Committee, says that this will give
the State to Mckinley. The Palmer. Bsekner
party in the State has gone to pieces, many OF
the leading men announcing their intention
to vote for Mckinley. They are men of wide
influence, but it hardly seems probable that Nc
kiney can carry the State, even with the
Populists doing their best for Watson. The
Republican vote in Georgia is well-nigh ex-
tnguished At the Gubernatorial election in
Democrats cast 55l per cent. of the vote Of the
State, and had plurality of 24167. The
Populists cast 46t per cent. of the VOTE SO that
there was 90 per cent. of the vote between
them.
Tams Bixby. Chairman of the Republican
Committee of Minnesota. says that there WILL
be no landslide m tho State, but Mckinley
will carry it by fair majority. The St Paul
Globe-Sound Money Democrat-says there
will be total voteAof 49,, 600. Of which Nc
Kinley will get l63.9a5. Bryan 145. $50. and
Palmer and Levering about $4,000. This
gives Mckinley 1853 plurality. The Mime
apolis Journal :. Republican = figures that
Clough. Governor, will have 5000 plurality,
the State ticket $1,000. and Mckinley $1,000
Lind will run ahcHf for Governor on account
Of the Swedish tote. Tho ST. Paul Dispatch
places Mckinleyss plurality at 10000, and
claims solid Sohnsi Money delegation from
the State to Congress. Chairman Cutcheon. Of
the Sound Money Democratic Committee says
that 40, 600 Dcmociats In tho State will either
vote for Mex inIey or Palmer. The Popncratic
Chairman has sent dispatch East claiming
the State for Bryan by 10000.
Right Rev. Geo. L. Seymour, Of Springfield
ILL.,, Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
has written 4 letter in Which he denouuces
the Chicago platform very strongly.
The Pop0crats are said to be preparing
another forgery akin to the infamous MOrey
letter, to spring ut late hour in the campaign.
1t will be u pretended autograph letter from
Mai Mckinley to the leaders of the A. p. A.,
aud is intended to Offset the effect of Arch
bishop Ireland's splendid letter among CaiEo-
lies especially foreigners. 1t will not work.
The American people remember the Morcy
letter too well.
Bryan roughs disturbed Secretary Carlisle's
speech at CoviDgton, Ky, by cat-caIls, misses,
cheers for Bryan. and throwing eggs at The
speaker the scene was disgraceiuI. but tho
police made no arrests. The trouble originated
with the keeper Of the saloon under the hall,
Who is an ardent Bryan n,an, getting men half
drunk aud melting them to insult the Secre-
tary.
Ex-Govs. Pattison, of Pennsylvania. end
Cam bell. of Ohio, have been stumping New
York in the interest of Bryan.
w. r. Morrison. of Illinois states that he
| only bolted AItgeii aud his administration of
tho affairs of Illinois.
| Only u few bets have been made in Michigan,
and these are generally three to two on the State
going for Mckinley, aud five to three. and two
| to one on McKinlcy's election.
! President Ingalls,, of the Big Four Railroad.
| lifelong Democrat says that Mckinley will
| carry Virginia. He has been canvassing the
State for two months.
| The Republicans and Sound Money Demo-
Gratis Of Virginia propose to have the tally
keepers at every polling place to keep record
| Of tho number of votes cast, to prevent the
! PopOcrats from stuffng the returns. The Pop
ocrats threaten to prevent these under the law,
| but the Republicans have consulted the best
lawyers of the State, and arc frau in their posi-
tion.
j. B. Nelson of the Seattle Post InteUigencer,
| says that there is no doubt that Washington
| will be carried for Bryan and for the fusion
candidates for Congress. But there is no such
certainty about the Legislature, which is of es-
pecial interest Oh account OF the election OF a
successor to Senator Squire. The latter las
lost all his chances, whether tho Legislature be
Republican or Free Silver. The Sound Money
men are for Gov. McGraw, while the Free
Silvertes will want someone who has beef,
longer in the fold than Senator Squire.
Senator Watson C. Squire. of Washington
says that the vote Of the State will probably
be about $4,000, of which the Democrats will
poll $1,000, the Popuists $4,000. aud the Silver
Republicans $4,000, making total of $4,000
Against these the regular Republicans vii
have only $4,000. aud lhe Sound Money Demo
Gratis 5000. giving Bryan Il majority Of $4,000
The registration laws of Virginia do not com
pei the registrars TO record names when thi:
will interfere with their other business. This
is one Of the old-tiRe tricks to shut out ohnoxi
| GUS voters. 10 meet TINS, THIS year inc NJ
publicans and Sound Money Democrats have
made propositions to the registrars to pay then
, 30 cents Ill hour and Is cents name for eaci
, one registered.
! All over the South the manufacturers wh'
have been developing the resources of that sec
ton are dong good work for Sound Money
. They are supporting Mckinley almost to
man.
. | A circumstantiahatory that Mark Hanna hat
+ assessed every bank inf Connecticut for cam
{ paign funds has been as enthusiastically denie
by every man in volved in the story.
The growth of Mckinley sentiment in Mort
Carolina continues to alarm the POpocratt
many of whom advise throwing over Bryan il
order to save the State ticket.
Col Geo. b. Mcclellan who is running for re
election in the Twelfth New York Congress
sional District, is il, a bad way. After nom
mating him the Tammany leaders have abar
doned him. Ho is afraid to cOIne out for Col
for fear his Reputation votes will be lost an
he is afraid to come out for Reputation fo
| fear of losing his Gold support.
