Senator Qusy's announcement, BY
authority Of the Republican National
Committee, that Mckinley and Hobart's
election is now assured and that they
are absolutely certain Of getting 270
electoral votes, with strong probability
Of receiving more than 800, was not
made for bluffing purposes, but a. an
assurances to the business interests Of
the country that the danger, more ap.
pretended than real, OF Bryan's election
and its consequent upsetting Of values ID
over, that capitalists may now 60 ahead
with the business enterprises which
they have been holding back, causing
general stagnation in all lines of bust.
ness, with the certainty that they will
receive 1O0-cent dollars, instead Of Bry.
an 50-cent dollars, from all the invest.
ments they make. This information has
been anxiously sought after by those
interested in large business enterprises
all over the country, and ~ soon as the
members Of the National committee
were assured that no mistake had been
made by those who had been charged
with the task Of ascertaining the actual
status of all the states it was deemed
best to give it to the whole country a.
we'll as to the individuals who had ak
ed for it. 1t is merely in line with the
general policy of the Republican party
to stand by the business and industrial
interests of the country ct all times.
There is no occasion for the Republicans
to make bluff at this time, when every
intelligent man knows how strongly the
tide of public opinion is running against
Bryan and his 60-cent dollars, and the
the Popocratic platform Of riot, ruin and
reputation. This country is once more
proving to the world that common sense
is its ruling sentiment, whenever time
is given to consider any important ques-
ton, just as it has proved hundreds of
times in the past and will continue to
prove in the future and common sense
teaches that honesty is the best policy
for governments as we'll as individuals.

taken Texas is going to give the people
OF this country the greatest surprise on
the Sd Of November. There ID no pre-.
dieting results on account of the mixed
up state of things, but the conditins are
very squally for the silver Democrats.
Their candidate for governor, Oulbert-
son, will, I think suffer defeat at the
hands of Kearby, the Populist candidate.
In the district now represented by Judge
Culbertson, "Cyclone" Davis is sure of
being elected to Congress. It is pretty
certain that he was elected in '94, but
the count was against him. Hawley,
Republican, will be Miles Crowley's
successor in the Galveston district.
jenkins, Populist, will have the fight of
his life to keep Populist from getting
his seat in the House. In the San An.
tonic district Judge Noonan will be re.
elected by the Republicans, and in the
Dallas district Barney Gibbs, formerly
