SILVER SENTIMENT SPREADING.
Chairman Jones is Certain Bryan VIII
Win in November.

CHICAGO, IL, Sept 5.-The political
situation based upon reports received al
National Democratic headquarters
during the last three days is such as TO
convince Chairman Jones that Bryan
will win in November. Mr.. Bryan 5
political managers believe that he viii
not only carry the solid South and
West, but also Ohio, Indiana. Michigan
and Iowa, with a good chance Of
winning in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The growth of the free silver sentiment
in these states is increasing at an
astounding rate. The reports from
each of them indicate that from 10 20
per cent of the Republican vote in the
agricultural and laboring districts will
be cast for Bryan and free silver. while
the detection Of gold Democrats is
light.
In Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa.
Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana
fusion with Populists and silver
Republicans upon electoral, state and
congressional tickets has been con.
summated and the utmost confidence is
expressed at national headquarters that
each of these states will be found In the
Bryan column in November.
Reports received at national head
quarters from various state head
quarters are of the most fattering
nature. The secretary of the Iowa
state central committee has forwarded
report from that state, which
embraces nearly every county, and
shows that the Democratic gain will
exceed Is per cent, while the detection
of gold Democrats amounts to little.
Similar reports are being received
daily from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
while in Nebraska the more conservative
estimates place Mr.. Bryan majority
at 20, 900, some estimates being as high
as so, 900.
Reports from the agricultural districts
in Indiana, especially in the southern
portion of the state, shows that 50 pei
cent of the entire vote will be cast fol
Bryan, and the same reports come from
the southern portion of Illinois.
A private letter to Chairman Jones
from John G.. Maher, of the Nebrasks
state central committee, says:
Bryan will carry Nebraska by al
least 25 900.
Chairman Jones has also received
encouraging reports from Kentucky.
Reports received at headquarters from
| the mountain states and Pacific Coas
assure the managers that every STATE
from the Missouri River to the Pacific
Ocean will give its electoral vote fol
| Bryan.

Missouri and Alabama.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ar. H. Kern
Democratic nominee for Congress in the
Twelfth Missouri District, said to The
Republic correspondent this evening
that he was very much amused in Boston
during recent visit to hear reports
from Republican sources of Democratic
defections in Missouri.
There is no doubt, - said he THAT
Missouri is in line and will roll up a
larger Democratic majority than usual
We certainly will elect 10 Democratic
Congressman out of Is, and maybe IA.
AS for my district, have no doubt
about it. will carry it. In st. Louis
we will gain more silver Republican
votes than we will lose gold Democrats.
AS for the interior of the state it is all
one way-for free silver-and Republi-
cans are joining Bryan Clubs all over
the state.
General Joseph Wheeler of Alabama
was at headquarters today. He said:
1.-The people of Alabama are for the
coinage of the gold and silver of the
Constitution, and there is no question
that the state will cast her electoral
vote for Bryan and Sewall. The clean
cut logical speeches of Mr.. Bryan are
read and understood throughout the
state and are having marked effect
The Indianapolis nominees will poll
but few votes in Alabama. AS to the
Congressional districts, there will be a
solid Democratic delegation from Ala
bama. -

East ern Mortgage Holders Demanding
Payment in Gold on Their
Kansas Holdings.

WICHITA, Kas., Sept. 5.-The
Eastern mortgage holders are beginning
to demand payment in gold in this state
and are asking the Federal courts to
enforce their demands.
The first case in this state in which
the demand is specifically made was
put on record in the United States
District Court today and it is stated
that many similar suits will soon be
brought.
Anna NJ Bigelow, a wealthy Eastern
woman, brought foreclosure proceed
ings against II. S. Lands, of Barber
county, and prays the court to decree
that the amount of the mortgage and
accrued interest be paid in gold,
according to the terms of the mortgage.
There is law in this state prohibiting
the making of contracts on such terms,
and this law has yet to be passed upon
by the supreme court. A large per
cent of the mortgages in Kansas
stipulate that they shall be paid in gold,
but up to the present time no particular
effort has been made by mortgages to
collect gold. Attorneys here state that
the effort to secure payment in gold on
mortgages will be made in several
other Western States.
