Legislation they may levy silve]

tell you how. The silver revolt
will sweep the west between the
Missouri and Pacific. You NAV
buy a gold plank in Dakota and
again in Oregon, but you can't
buy the people; you can't bribe
the public in the wide region
named from the coast to the Mis-
souri,. from the Rio Grande to the
English line. Silver will sweep
all before it. Teller will get
most of them, but at least Nc
Kinley has lost every electoral
vote after you leave the Missouri
river. They will go to the Popu
lists, to Democrats, to silver Re-
publicans, but they will none of
them go to Mckinley. that candi-
date hand made by Hanna on a
platform to which in his heart of
hearts he is false.
Heaven hates d coward: and
Mckinley has not been brave.
the people are against him and
the goods will not fight on his
side. Give the West to silver,
California, Oregon. Washington.
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah.
Colorado, Wyoming, the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas and Texas.
Silver has already conquered
them ALL And the South-Mc-
Kinley cannot win or hold foot of
it. Every former slave state, bar
Delaware, will go Democratic.
There is no doubt in Il national
war with the Democracy for free
silver of such states as Missouri,
Kentucky and Maryland.
Even West Virginia would be
hard to hold, Mckinley may kiss
hope good bye as far as Missouri,
Arkansas. louisiana, Mississippi.
Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Florida, the two Carroll
mas, Virginia and Maryland, are
involved. He'll get none of them,
Count up the others, and see if
he'd have enough if he would
carry them all. He will be made
to sup defeat. But even were
they enough, fate has not decid-
ed that Mckinley rrythe others.
He can carry Maine, New Hamp-
shire. Vermont. Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island and Connecticut,
the five New England States. I'm
less split occur at Chicago, and it
well may happen and a gold De-
mocrat do in the East what Teller
is doing in the West, Mckinley
will carry New Jersey and Della
ware
Mckinley is sure: too. Of Penn
sylvania, despite the cloud Of
Cameron and his silver lining.
Steve Elkins, adept, may steal
him West Virginia. There is
streak of solemn Dutch all through
Wisconsin which may save to Nc
kinley that sober com monwealth.
For the deeenoy otthe thing count
Ohio for Mckinley, albeit should
the Democrats name Campbell.
Mckinley would be driven to the
buckeye wal! ia q moment: Count
all those states for Mckinley.
But the others Of the north Min
nesota, Iowa, Illinois. Michigan,
Indiana, and New Ik-are de-
batahle tightishle ground.
Mckinley Is Rot sure OF any Of them.
In the doctrine of chances, he's sure to
lose one-third of them. Illinois in In
stance is almost certain to turn on re-
publicanism and rend it. Hammer,
whom the republicans name for gov.
ernor. is bad and the people know It.
Altgefd. after one gets through with
his Anarchistic side, has been the best
governor the state ever saw, and al
eoncede it. The state is a riot for fret
silver. Mckinley can't carry coun
try Or city in that state Illinois Is
about as certain against Mckinley a:
Texas itself. There you are
When the Democrats come together
at Chicago we will know more Bu
We are already assured of Mckinley,
defeat. 4 bolt at Chicago hurts him
It is a paradox OF politics, but it,
true All Mckinley has is the gol'

division of that strength. For Oh
thing it would make his overthrow Ii
New York which seems sure already
certain.
