OUTLOOK IN lUZERNE.
Democrats Will Win According to the
..Newsdealer,s' Canvass.

The Wilkesbarre Nepsdedler has lust
completed systematic canvass of every
election district in the county and is in
a position to state that the outlook for
Democratic success was never better
1t says that sin some districts the sur
face indications for Bryan and the
county ticket are very strong, while in
Others there is a swift undercurrent run
ming the same way. There are any
number of Republicans who will go
quietly to the polls on election day and
vote for Bryan and Sewall-not that
they have any particular love for the
Democratic party, but because they be-
lieve in its policy on the money ques-
tion. 1t is this class of Republicans
that make up the undercurrent now
running towards the Democratic goal.
Then there is another class of Re-
publicans who are drawn to the Demo
cratic ticket by Garman's candidacy for
congress. Our canvass shows that Mr..
Garman will run away ahead of his
ticket. His strength will help the other
Democratic candidates considerably. 1t
is safe to say that Mr.. Garman's plurali-
ty will not be less than 1000 and the
balance of the ticket will win bv not
less than 1000 plurality.
"from every part of the county we
are assured that the full Democratic
vote will be polled. There is harmony
in the ranks and a determination upon
the part of the district leaders to get out
the vote.
'On the whole the outlook could not
be better. Our only advice is that the
army be keep intact until the blow is
struck on the third of November"

MANY residents of Lattimer and vicini-
