What the Comm ittee SAYS.

ssThe Democratic National Committee
awaits the result of next weeks cleo
tion with serene confidence. William
j. Bryan will be elected by the largest
popular majority given any President
in quarter OF a century. He will
have more than 800 electoral votes in
the electoral college. Reports from
the Middle Western States show the
effect OF his wonderful campaigning
tour through them. His majority will
be increased by many thousands as q
result of his great journey. Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Mime
sofa are absolutely safe and our chances
of success In Ohio and Wisconsin are
very fattering. The eyer-rising tide
of enthusiasm for the great leader Of
the common people will sweep those
States along with their sisters already
won.
"Senator German, one OF the most
astute political leaders of the Union,
guarantees Maryland. Our reports
from Kentucky are that the Re
publican monopoly and Democratic
treason will be out-voted by more
than 10000. The desperate and des
potic effort to coerce and buy the
American people came TO dism al ant
humiliating failure. The solid South
and the silver West will join hands Ii
impregnable alliance at the polls. The
great Middle West is with them in al
invincible union.n

This national conference of American

tration, profoundly convinced that ex-
perience has shown that war as n

~ Founded
The period covered since the first IL.
auguration of President Grant in 1s6o
is without parallel in the history %
nations.
At the beginning of that aslministra.
ton the country was just free from the
civil war. The national debt was large,
gold was ut premium. the problem oil
the failure of the conquered south was
pressing. and IL was well known that
mistakes in government or in national
finances might involve widespread dis
aster. Ihe republican party hravely an
stunned to responsibility put upon IL by
the votes of the people. and for 20 years
longer ii was kept in charge of national
affairs.
During that time the country de.
,eloped beyond the dreams of the mose
visionary. Population. industries and
settled area grew rapidly under the
stimulus of wise laws and wise adminis-
tration, coupled with popular condolences
in the men ut the helm of the ship Of
state. a new south sprang from tho
ruins of the old, and the land devastated
by war began n quick return toward
prosperous times. Protection, sound
money, and revenues sufficient for de.
fraying the expenses of tho government
and for gradual reduction of the public
debt were the policies enforced. There
were dark days, but the depression was
of short duration, and the people quick
~ rose TO new hope and new opportuni-
ties.
Then came change. A democratic
administration followed. but n republic
an senate stood between it and demo-
cratic policies, and the national life went
on as before. Another term of repub-
lican rule. and then came resort TO full
democratic responsibility. What fol.

cARLIsLE AND THE CANDIDACY
Unpopuiarity OF tho Secretary with IN.

Unpopularity OF tho Secretary with m.
Own Party.
Secretary Carlislc's friends say his
letter does not take him out of the list
of nomination possibilities. The letter
said he thought his duty to his party
would be best performed by declining
TO participate In n contest for the nom
nation" and IL added that he would re-
gard the Endorsement OF his course by
his state in the national convention as
reward for what he has "bcen able
to accomplish in behalf of honest AL
ministration and OF sound financial pol
icy" All this means that while he will
not enter into any scramble for the
nomination he would bc pleased To have
his state give him complimentary
vote in the Chicago convention. His
admirers are justified in considering
this declaration that, i'm the cant os
the day. he is lin the hands of his
friends"
In an important sense the nominu-
ton of Secretary Carlisle would be an
advantage TO his party. The Courier

sown; tobacco plant coming on well in
Switzerland county. Fruit is in bloom.

He expressed his sympathy with the
