Strong for Bryan.

Chicago, Sept 24.-Reports received
at the Democratic head quarters dur
Jug the last three days strengthen the
belief that Bryan will carry at least
t%wo-thirds Of the ELECTORAL votes OF the
United States. During the last week
fusion between the Democrats and
Populists has been consumated in
North Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois
and Wyoming. This union with silver
strength in those States assures them
all for Bryan by overwhelming maj
critics. Even the Republicans concedc
that they no longer have any chance
in North Carolina and Kentucky. 10
Kentucky fusion was reached yester-
day under an agreement whereby the
Populists Withdrew their ELECTORAL
ticket and were given two places on
the Democratic ticket. In North Caro-
lima the Democratic, POpulist and Sii
yer parties have united on a Bryan
ELECTORAL ticket, the Democrats nam
ing five electors, the Populists five and
the silvor party one. In Illinois foul
Democratic electors have withdrawn
and their places were filled by four
Populists. This completes fusion in
Illinois, gives 60, 900 Populist votes in
this State to Mr.. Bryan, and a
majority of at least 10000 for free sill
yer. The Democrats and Populists OF
Wyoming "a also arranged fusion
on the basis of two Democrats and one
Populist. This assures the ELECTORAL
vote of Wyoming to Bryau-Wyom'
ing having been the only Western
State in regard to which there has pre-
viously been any doubt.
Mark Hanna will have to look aftej
his fences in Iowa, which seem to b
brakipg down before the stampede o

Instead of fifty or seventy five thou
sand Republican majority which b
has been looking for in that state,
staff reporter of the New York Worl
finds, as the starting result Of his IN
vestigations, that as Iowa stands t(
day the vote is about a tie. The prt
liminary canvass of the Republica
state committee reveals a Republica
bolt of more than thirty thousan
while the Democrats detection is n
over 10000. The Republican in low
do not attempt to conceal these facl
which almost exactly tally with the r
port of the Democratic committee. III

The present silence of Govern

duty OF all the people to acquiesce in
the verdict of the majority. He was
overruled by the vast majority, and,
living up to the doctrine which he
preached. followed the majority and his
state into the Confederacy and entered

in the western department OF the Con-

After the war he returned to Cam

In 1866. while on visit to his old home
in New York, he found himself elected
to the state senate without any effort
on his own behalf. This brought him
into New York state politics, where he
has since been a strong factor. He
served for many years as assistant dis
trict attorney, and then succeeded
Judge MARITIME as district attorney. He
resigned this position to take his seat
in the Fifty-second and Fifty-third
congress, where his ability and elo-

Mckinley Will Have $50 to Consider Dur
ing His First Few Weeks I'm Office.
Washington. Dec. S.-During the first
few weeks after President Elect Nc
Kinley assumes his duties he will have
the privilege OF making about $50 NOM
nations OF presidential postmasters.
The senate during its session beginning
Monday will have about 400 cases up
for action. During the recess of con-
gress there have been 164 nominations
of postmasters which must now be sub
mitted TO the senate for confirmation
or rejection. All nominations to fill
vacancies caused by the expiration OF
commissions of postmasters at presi-
Dental offices during this month and
January and February must also be
submitted, together with nominations
for about fifty lower class offices which
will be raised to the presidential rank
on Jan. /. These swell the list to about
400.
Every congress, however. leaves some
cases not acted upon. These are re-
turned to the postmaster general as not
confirmed. Judging from past records
II Is probable that there may be in the
neighborhood of half a hundred of
these unacted on cases whose disposal
will be left to Mr.. Mckinley. The re-
mainder OF the list to be considered by
Mr.. Mckinley during the early weeks
OF his administration will be made up
by about 100 offices where the official
commissions expire during the first
three weeks of March. Practically all
of the offices where commissions expire
between now and the incoming Of the
