to suppose tina y the campaign is all over
over-confidenoei is aiways premonitory Of

Teller, sa is: II am going home tonight to

DUBOIS PROMISES IDAHO.
I'm my State says Senator Dubois OF
| Idaho, There will be poIlcd almost an
unanimous vote for Bryan. He will carry
Idaho With whirl. L believe that he
Will carry all OF the mountain States, and
that the Pacific coast States will also
give him their electoral votes. We pre-
ferred Teller, but Bryan is in full sympathy
with our cause, and he will receive our
cordial and hearty support
Bryan will carry North Dakota" says
Senator Roach of that State. ''Our people
are nearly all free silver advocates. and
Bran will suit them because he haslons been
a cha alnpion of that idea. am going home
tonight, and shall spare no effort to bring
no .lsAct or nre nta INF 3 h..
Bryan column"
The figures which we gave the delegates
in Teiler's behalf, Will stand good for
Bryan" says Senator Stewart OF Nevada.
I'VE concede Mckinley all OF the Eastern
States, including Connecticut, New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland. All OF those
States belong to the gold bugs. But we
will have AZ electoral votes in the solid
South, and siSty-one west of the Missouri
river. That makes 203 electoral votes
that we are sure OF for Bryan. We will get
the other needful twenty-five votes in
Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota or Iowa. We
will try to carry Iowa. for the prairies
there are full OF silver men,"
APoPULIsT CANDIDATE.
The above interviews are but samples
OF the expressions which have been made
since Bryan's nomination, and they tend to
show a spirit OF confidence and deter
rnlnation. The P-2uists have captured
the Democratic party, and are riding it
recklessly.
AS 4 matter OF fact Bryan is the Populist
candidate, because his nomination was
brought about by the Populistic element
which dominated the Chica go convention.
The real Democrats constituted but one
third OF the convention. But, no matter
about that now. 1t was regarded as n
Democratic convention, and Rryan's name
will stand at the head of the regular Demo-
cratic ticket.
'.It.is not true that Missouri Demo-
crats Will bolt" says Senator Vest. There
will be a faction OF bolters, but they will
not affect the fesuit. Fred Lehman. of
st. Louis, is a gold man, and lie might
as well declare himself to be Republican,
for all the infuence he will have with
Missouri Democrats The old time rock
ribbed hidcbound democrats OF Missouri,
like CockreIl. BRnds pnd myself, will stand
by the ticket.
VEST FfELS SURE OF 1T.
1--WE will vote and work for Bryan.
There need be no doubt that Missouri's
ELECTORAL vote Wal go to Bryan. We may
be awfuIly mistaken; but we sincerely be-
lieve that Bryan will be elected. The
boiling of gold Democratic newspapers will
not scare US. We Southern fellows are
fond OF oratory, and will tell OFT story
on the hustings, ami thus get along with
out the newspapers"
On the other hand, the sound money men
of the West have views diametricaIly op-
posite to those expressed by the silver men.
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin, says:
Until this convention was held, there
was hope that Wisconsin might be again
redeemed from Republican rule. But We
can do nothing in the face of adversely Of
this intense character. l do not see how
1t is possible for Wisconsin to be held in
the Democratic column this year. But,
am not downcast and discouraged. The
Democratic party has made an awful
biunder; but there will be n future for u.s.
We have blundered before. but never so
badly. We have recovered before, but it
will be harder to recover this time. We
are pretty deep in the mire.''
CANNOT CARRY MICHIGAN.
Don NJ. Dickinson left for Michigan early
yesterday. He said: 1T is nonsense for
gan. There are tens softhousands of Demo-
Gratis in Michigan who would gladly have
taken part in a campaign on straight
Democratic principles; but those Democrats
are not Populists, and cannot be dragged
into support of Populism.''
Hon. .J.~J. Richardson. Democratic ma
tional committeeman for Iowa, sa VS.: Iowa
is for sound money. Not even Governor
Boies Gould have carried the State on
free silver platform. 1t is all cheap talk
that these SILVER men are giving you
about making a campaign in Iowa and
Minnesota. I believe That they can carry
Nebraska and Kansas: but they cannot
touch Iowa., Ainnesota, Illinois. wiscon-
sin, or Michigan. On q straight Demo-
cratic issue, with q straight Democratic
ticket. our party would have had fight
ing chance this year. but under existing cir
cumstances weare not init"
Thus the silver men talk. Thus the
sound money men talk. And there you
are.
