jority for Bryan.
Nj. ]. E. Clements, OF Alexandra

many gold democrats in MS county,
and that he believes most OF them,
realizing the absurd position IN winch
they would place themselves by voting
for Palmer, will vote the straight demo
cratic ticket.
The hearts OF the democrats here are
sladdened to-day by the information
that Senator German will take charge
OF the democratic campaign in the Last,
and that Mr.. Sewall has not only showed
the democratic committee papers prov
ing bis constaucy 10 free silver, but mas
subscribed so, 900 TO the democratic
campaign fund.
MI. Bynum mas been deposed from
his chairmanship OF the boilers ma
tional committee for the assigned rea,
son that ne sought TO make that com
mittee "a Mckinley adjunct" As il
Is nothing else, Mr.. Byuum showed MS
common sense in doing so. But people
here who know him best, say the bolt.
ers have lost nothing by sending hin
East.
The chairman OF the democratic com
mittee OF Kentucky writes here to-day
that the detection OF gold democrats
there will be more than Offset By the
detection OF the silver republicans, apd
that he is confident his State will 60 ior
