But the fool-kller has been travelling in the
West, and has done good work of late. AL
though Bryan is about giving us four-days'
itn' riry, we shall give the state to McKin-
lev by good majority, and the news from
Ohio and Indiana is just as consoling With
MCkinley's election and a republican con-
gress, we shall have, in short time, as
booming times as we ever had. Every body
is ready to branch out into business imme-
diately after McKinley's election. | am not
col6den that it will increase the monu-
mental business to have Bryan defeated, as
they erect no monuments to fools"
