Inc campaign in the state has opened
Win V1gor so far as the Republicans
and sound money men are concerned.
Meetings are being held nightly at all
the important places in each congress
s1onal district, and the smaller places
are not being neglected. Nearly all
the local orators are absent from tha
city talking for sound money, and re-
ports OF most favorable character
are received from every section of the
state.
Representative Henry Feig. of Kan
olyohl, VINO was In the city yesterday,
says the sound money men of the
TWenty-second district have organized
Tor strong fight all along the line.
ana that while they recognize the fact
that the silver people are making a
desperate effort to carry the farmers
with them, he believes the rural dis
tricts will after all vote in the right
direction for sound currency. I'VE
expect to carry the district for the Re-
publ1cans by the largest majority ever
known" said Mr.. Feig.

Congressman Towne is stirring I'D a.
hornets nest for himself down in
Illinois. He has been stumping the
rural districts for Bryan and trying
to make Illinoisans believe that Altgeld
is the whitest sheep in the flock Of de-
serters. One night recently he was in
Congressman Cannon's district and.
being far away from home, made use

would not be called into question. But

sents the Twelfth Illinois. And this

A. M. Schaffer, of ST. James, who
was in the city yesterday, a delegate
to the German-American sound money
conference, says the silver sentiment
is dying sure, If slow, death in his
district. The silver people flooded the
neighborhood with their printed argu-
ments for some weeks, but now that
the farmers are through their busy
season for q time and have time to
digest the solid facts that are being
disseminated by the sound money cam
paign managers, sentiment in the
rural communities is rapidly changing.
Recently a sound money club was or
ganized in st. James with nearly 300
members.
An immense amount of sound money
literature is being sent out from the
National Democratic headquarters. The
work Of securing q poll of the voters
OF the state is progressing rapidly and
with satisfaction to the campaign COM
mittee. Before long 1t is expected q
list, as nearly complete as Is possible
for human agencies to gather, will be
had and the exact strength of the
sound money Democratic vote will be
known. If there Is any discrepancy it
will be on the side of the sound money
sentiment, for 1t Is believed that there
are many who are for sound money
and who will vote for 1t that are now
credited to the silver side, but who. for
reasons, are unwilling or unable to
stand squarely on sound money plat
form. The headquarters Of the Ma
tional Democrats will soon be removed
to the old quarters in the Merchants
hotel.
Chairman Rosing, of the Democratic
state central committee is a busy man
these days. His mail is something
enormous and he works many hours
overtime, catching up with his work.
