WASHINGTON, Aug. q, 1S96-At Dem
ocratic Congressional headquarters it is
said that reports thus far received from
all sections of the country indicate great
er interest in the formation of clubs
than in any previous campaign The
National Association has enrolled up-
wards of 400 clubs within the past few
days. Each days mail brings in scores
of requests for information as to the
best manner for organization, and what
is required to become a member of the
National organization.
+. State and county organizers are being
named as fast as possible and all the
necessary information and blanks fur

Several of the States have already

Sineyvs of War Needed.

The latest effort on the part of the Alex
andria county citizens to rout the gamblers
and their like failed because Of the insult
ficiency Of the aid rendered by the local
authorities, and because of tampering
with witnesses, and now the dens are about
to be re-opened, it Is said, without any pre-
tense of concealment. Success has en-
boldened the gamblers, and they feel as
sured of immunity from the weak arm of
the law. Both Of the cities bounding the
infected area will necessarily feel the effect
of the proximity Of this moral plague
which seems so difficult of checking. Alex
andria is even now suffering from the work
of the fire bug and the thief who robs under
cover Of the excitement caused by confla-
grafton. Washington may escape from such
an experience, but there Is no guaran-
tee of public safety while colonies Of des-
peradoes are permitted to thrive at her
doors. The real burden of the campaign
against this evil rests upon the citizens of
the county, whose zeal is only limited by
their lack Of means. They are, as a rule
men of small incomes. who are striving to
pay for their homes, and they we'll deserve
the financial as well as the moral aid of the
people of both cities in this cause. 1t costs
in money as well as In energy to conduct
such crusade. The Alexandria county
citizens have made no formal appeal for
this sort of assistance, but they hope for
contributions. The business men of Wash
lnston, realizing the threat against the
public peace and security involved in the
continued existence of the Jackson City and
Rcslyn resorts, have aided the movement
of the people over the river, and will be
wise if they continue to cooperate in the
crusade.

and free silver a. an issue may be removed
from the arena Of active contention.
1t Is everything to Mr. Bryan to hold fast
to the silver issue. Without 1t. he could
prefer no claim to further leadership. With
it, he could still hope to keep the middle Of
the stage. He Is a born agitator, and has
carefully cultivated his natural talents.
There Is every reason to believe that his
own calculations agree with those Of his
more intimate friends, and that he Is play
ing his game in the hope Of coming near
enough to the mark, If he cannot win, to
save a second throw for the presidential
stakes.
The republican managers believe this,
and their belief explains the strenuous ef-
forts they still are making In a campaign
which they consider virtually as already
won. Mr.. Quay has Of course spoken for
all of his associates, and yet, feeling con-
fdent of success as they do. they are as
hard at work as they have at any time
been since the campaign began. They not
only want to win, but they see the i'm
portance of winning by the largest major
ity they can possibly secure. They want to
settle the silver question and retire Mr..
Bryan at one and the same time.
Evening star., 1896-10-20
Mr.. Bryan and 1900.

Senator Quay's figures or any other of
bimilar conservative" republican es.i-
|s should prove to he correct, or even
Pximately correct, MIR. Bryan viii have
a very poor race. The character of
funnins. even if he loses. Is of import
to Mr.. Bryan His followers have not
ky time refused to discuss the question
kfeat this year, but have always eou-
1t with talk about 1900. They have
Rong insisted that silver could not be
sed of at this one election; that defeat
year would simply mean a reorganized
ment with Mr.. Bryan at its head, and
title not only for control of the House
ss, but on presidential lines again four
hence.
3 plain enough, however, that Ii Mr..
n makes poor show at the polls next
n not only will free silver suffer hut
5 a leader will suffer. The loss Of
|ige both for the man and the cause
be inevitable. A big majority for Mr..
nley VIII mean great assistance in the
ing and passing of measures for the
ment Of vexed questions and for the
of the country. In the four years
zen now and 1900 wise legislation will
full time in which to justify itself,
