that every sound money Democrat will
vote against Bryan. Democrats in the
Illinois state headquarters privately
concede the hopelessness Of their cam
paign and have practically given up
their attack. They will turn their at
tentIon to Michigan and Indiana. They
sent their chief Of the speakers OF the
speakers bureau 10 Michigan TO man
age the oratorical campaign in the sad
die. The first days experience has been
decidedly discouraging.
Telegrams Indicate that ex-Presldent
Harrisons stumping tour begun today
has thoroughly aroused Indiana, and the
generals and party Of old soldiers tour
ing in Michigan has aroused that state.
The Popocrat campaign Of misrep-

sound money, made by Bishop New
man OF the Methodist Episcopal church,
and Archbishop Ireland and Monsignore
Zeninger, of the Roman Catholic church
through letter to the state Republican
committee Of Illinois.

camp today over the discovery by am
bilious office seekers that promises of
certain official positions OF high grade
are being freely made and that they
are being duplicated in way extremely

which was promised to Marcus Daily, a
we'll known silver mine owner of Butte,
Mont, has now been re-pledged, this
time to Daly's bitter political enemy,
W. C. Clark, another Montana silver
mine owner.
1t is understood that a contribution
Of $4,000 was obtained from Clark in ad-
dition to $4,000 already given by him
to the campaign fund. Clark's ambition
being to shine in diplomatic circles.
