 (Communicated)
 To THE EDITOR OF THE PREss.-R you will permit, would like to say a word in regard to the communications from Un- ion, concerning the Bryan tickets at the last election, viz that of November 9th. (which I heartily endorse) also the one of November 23d, in reply to same. Would say in the first place that l do not know the author of the first communication, probably would not have seen it had not a copy of The Press been handed to me. There were no Bryan tickets at the polls, and was informed that hey had been returned, as the party to whom they came refused to pay ten cents charges on same. As to there being but two silver men in Union, would say that know of at least three who would have voted for Bryan had an opportunity been given, and any one of whom would have willingly paid the drivers charges had they known the circumstances. As 1 understand, there were but 21, or whereabouts, democratic votes cast in Union at the last election, it is fair to suppose Bryan would have had a few votes if tickets had been at the polls. As to it's being common report on election day, that the tickets were at the stage drivers home, nothing to that effect was told me while at the town house, nor to any of the others referred to, so far as have heard. Now I am not 8 rabid free silver man, as some have reported, but in all fairness think the free silver ballots should have been at the polls, the same as the republican or the prohibition bal
