Democrats are Bracing Up.

Washington Pact
BALrrMoRE, Oct. % There was a
high tide of DcmocI attic confidence
in evidence at the State headquarters
at the Carrolton to day. Never
since the beginning of the campaign
have hopes run SO high, and never
before have the smiles on the faces
of the party officials in charge of the
rooms here been 80 broad This feel
ing of confidence was brought about
by the many cheering reports
brought in during the last day or two
from all parts of the State and the
city as well. There were more call
ers at headquarters than on any day
in the present campaign. The ma
iority of those who dropped IN were
of the rank aud fle of the party,
both in the city and the counties,
and the reports by all alike were of a
roseate hue.
J Among the visitors were some
ward leaders and others in the city
who up to this time, have not been
very conspicuous on account of their
activity in behalf of the Democratic
candidates. They expressed the be-
lief that the tide vas setting strongly
in the direction Of Democratic sue
cess Reports were received stating
that great many voters in the city
who had heretofore been silent had
in the last day or two expressed their
intention Of voting for Bryan and
SewalI.
But at the Republican headquar
ters there was nc evidence Of fear
that the tide was ebbing away from
the Republican candidates The
headquarters were crowded by parry
workers and speakers, and every
body was busy. Details of meetings
ere being organized, and the final
plans for the campaign laid. There
was no abatement CT the confidence
which has all along prevailed there,
and the statement was confidently
made that the reports that were com.
ing in justified all the Republican
prophecies that have been made.
The poll of the city, which it is said
had been completed, it now turns
out. has not. been fully finished.
Quite number Of precincts are yet
missing, but it is claimed that
enough have been turned in tc indi

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, o.. :6 1896.

w WASHINGTON, W. ~. Ao"o.
No such absasd claims arc being
made iD Mr.. Bryao's behalf as ;Ae &c
pub,icaos are putting out for McK'n!;-!y,
but every man connected With titasr
the democratic. populis, o: silver com
mit,ees at the Bryan Headquarters ex
presses tae utmost confidence IN the
election of Mr. Beyan. They claim
that there are several states in the
lates, Apsley bluff, that are certain TO
elect Bryan electors by majority Of not
less ,haa $4,000, aod half dozeO
m,re that will be carried by Bryan.
They also dispute both Apsley's and
Babcock's claims as 10 the number of
gold men who will be elected to the
next House, and say that the silver
men will coatrol the House. An
estimate made BY Secretary E1geT:oo,
of the Populiss National Committee,
which is regarded as beiog conservative,
gives Mr.. Bryan 233 certain electoral
votes. This estimate puts down as
doubtful, but probably for Bryan, the
IS electoral votes from Delaware, H.
linois, Iowa, Maryland. Michigan aud
Ohio, and gives Mckinley 129 elec'
toral votes.
Few men in public life had as many
and as warm personal friends as the Ex-
Speaker Crisp had, and fewer men had
as clean public record-aoOe could be
cleaner; his was absolutely sposless.
His death vas a great shock to bis
Washington friends and admirers al
though it was generally known that
his health vas not in good condition.
1t is as a man and lovable companion
that his friends will miss him, but the
democratic party lost in him one OF its
ablest leaders. He was a leader IN
every sense Of the word, being ever
ready to maintain tee principles of the
party he loved so we'll, either IN the

CHICAGO, Oct. 26 The executive
conmi.,ee Of the Trades Utionists'
Silver CLUB of Chicago with 1.-The ap-
p.oyal of the Democratic national com
mi,see. has addressed an appeal to The
farmers aud agricultural laboFers of
Illinois and Of the Mississippi valley
The document calls Marx Hanna an

to the farmers to redouble their efforts
to make the agricultural vote Of the
Mississippi valley as large as possible
for the free silver cause, to make good
apy possible loss of votes which may
result from coercion and bribery
The trades nuionisis say they refuse

Mr.. Crisp ever entertained was to be
elected Senator, and it would have
been attained had be lived few months
longer 1t will be remembered that he
declined a guber0atorinl appolntmen:
to the Senate.
The figures received at the head
quarters of the Na,icna! Association OF
Democratic Clubs, in reply to clrou-
lar letter asking that the previous po-
lisical afiliation of members of Bryan
aud silver clubs be given, are the best
answers to the claims Of the McKln
leyites that comparatively few repaol'-
cans are supporting Bryan. Ten clubs
in Iowa report a total membership Of
8, ,0S0, including 2. 100 democrats. 472
republicans, 400 popu!ists, II peob'h'-
sionists and 81 independents aud SIX
clubs in Ohio report a total member
ship of 944 including III democrats.
140 republicans, "a populists, 10 pro-
bibi,ionis's and 8 independents. If the
ratio Of republicans is the same in the
burdreds of Bryan clubs in those two
States, Iowa and Ohio will cast their
electoral votes for Brpan:
The appearance of Secretary Car
isle on the stump, nomiually for
Palmer and Buckner, but actually for
Mckinley. has recalled the fact that
Secretary Carlisle used all the inaa-
eoce be possessed to get democratic
members of the Nebraska legislature to
vote for Senator Allen, who was the
populiss candidate for the Senate aud
who was elected by democratic voters.
A COPY of telegram signed by Score
tary Carlisle aud Senators German and
Brice and addressed to democratic
member of the Nebraska legislature il
being circulated by the democratic Con
gressional committee. 1t reads 1--WE
hope you will vote for Judge Allen and
thus keep the Senatorship out of the
hands Of the republicans" Thus it ap.
pears that Secretary Carlisle aud Sen
ator Brice were not afraid to help elect
a silver man to the Senate 10 February,
1898, although they now profess great
fears of what will follow the election OF
a silver man to the Presidency.
