our reports from the mdce western
states show the effect OF his wonderful
campaigning tour through them. His
majorities will be Increased by many
thousands, as result of his great
journey. Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
Idaho and Minnesota are absolutely
safe. and our chance OF success In Ohio
and Wisconsin are more than fiattering.
The ever rising tide OF enthusiasm for
the great cause and the great leader OF
the common people. will sweep those
states, along with their sisters. already
won.
Senator German, one OF the most
sstute political leaders OF the Union,
guarantees Maryland. Our reports from
Kentucky are that Republican monop-
oily and Democratic treason will be out
voted by more than 10000. The desper-
ate and despotic effort TO coerce and buy
the American people is doomed to dismal
md humiliating failure. The solid south
and the silver west will join hands In
impregnable alliance at the, polls. The
great middle west is with them In an in
vincible union. Our intrepid leader Is
sure to get magnificent victory. These

but the peoples cause has never ceased
In its steady march to victory. Sue
cess is now in plain sight. The brag and
buster of the Republican national COM
nittee, in claiming $50 electoral votes, is
shown In including such states as Texas.
Idaho. Utah and Montana, where the
majority for Bryan can only be meas
ured by considering almost the whole

time OF our signing the memorial, nearly
three years ago. we have learned enough
since on the subject to warrant us in de-
nouncing the attempt at free coinage OF
silver at 16 to 1, believing II to be directly
against the interests OF labor, and also
believing that under condition OF free
coinage this country >ill be subjected to
one OF the most frightful panics that any
country in this world has ever seen"
