DOES SILVER GR0W2
Contradictory Advicas From PennsyI-
vania-JaDes, New York Trip.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s 1886. Represen-
tatiye Brumm, of the Thirteenth Penn-
sylvania District, who was renominated
last Monday. in discussing the political
situation this morning. admitted that
there was quite a free silver sentiment
among the anthracite coal miners in his
district. He believes, however that with
the proper sort of a campaign these men
will be restrained from voting against
the Republican ticket. There has been
some talk Of putting a free silver Repuh-
lean in nomination in his DISTRICT, but
this viii PROBABLY not be done. Mr..
Brumm realizes that he has a hard fight
before him, but says he will take off his
coat ard work for the success of the
ticket which he heads, believing that 1t
will be triumphant. AS to the result in
the State there Is, in his mind absolutely
no doubt but that Mckinley will carry
it by an old-time majority
Chairman Faulkner of the Democratic
Congressional Committee is daily in re-
ceipt of letters from various parts of
Pennsylvania showing that the free sill
yer sentiment is growing stronger there
"Ex- Congressman Mutchler OF the
Eighth Pennsylvania district was in this
morning and tells me that we will make
very large gains in our representation in
Congress from mis- State'' said the Chair
man. In the Eighth district, Mr. Hart
was elected two years ago by a ma
jority, as / reeollect the figures, of 1856
We will carry the same district now by
a majority variously estimated at from
1000 to 1000 This indicates the wonder
ful change that has come over the State
ana IS due entirely to the agitation of
the subject of free coinage The Demo-
cratic representation in Congress from
this State will surprise the Republicans.

pectations are.n

morning. The question: of the location

Tnlttee are understood to favor the selec-
ton Of this city but the choice will de-
pend largely upon the wishes Of Mr. Bry-
an. Senator Jones has laid before the
candidate all the arguments for and

made up his mind as to what he wishes
IN this respect by the time he reaches New

sitting of the committee. There is a feel
ing OF commence among the leaders in
Washington that this city will be chosen
The statement of Vice-Chairnan Apsley
of the Republican Committee that the sill
yer sentiment is receding and that the re-
action has already set in meets with the
vigorous negative of Chairman Faulkner

information. Our advices are to the con-
trery. and we have been conscientious in
endeavoring to get at the exact situa-
tioa," remarked Mr.. Faulkner when he
had read what the Republican vice-char-
man had said. II am convinced that if
Mr.. Apsley gets out among the laboring
classes, among the people who are talk
ing seriously and soberly about the money
question, and places a little less reliance
upon the utteranees OF politicians who re-

Here is an illustration In my mail This

taken I'm this campaign. I have lust re-

800. 500 cabinet photos of Mr.. Bryan viii
cost him. He says heA wants to give
them away to his customers and he de-
ciared his belief that no campaign liter

picture of the candidate himself. Here
IS a man willing to spend this amount
of money on his own account for tha
good of the cause. He is but one Of
