OUTLOOK FOR BRYAN IS BRIGHT
Chairman Butler Says the Tide IL
Rolling In.

Chicago, Oct. ia meeting of the
populist national executive committee
was held at the Sherman mousse today to
consider the question of fusion in Kansas
and Colorado, over which considerable
friction has arisen. 1t is probable that
action will be taken looking toward the
displacement of some of the democratic
electors In the states named and putting
pcpulist electors in their places. All the
members of the national executive COM
mittee are present except Secretary Ed
son and Chairman Dorr of California.
Senator Butler Of North Carolina,
chairman of the national populist COM
mittee, when aske4 if Watson would
come out In a letter opposing the fusion
arrangements made In the west, stated
that no such letter was expected:
we are all pulling to defeat McKin-
ley" said Butler land while there is
some friction over the division of electors
In several states, no action will be taken
that will in the least compromise the
chances of our ticket. 1t is sure it will
be adjusted amicably. You can state au-
thoritively that Watson will remain on
tho ticket. No thought Of his resignation
is entertained by u.s.
What do you think Of the presidential
outlook?"
'Bryan's chances are improving every
day. There has been a perceptible change
In the las two weeks. One of the
strongest factors Of the republican cam
paign Is now one OF It's greatest weak
nesses, and that is it's prodigal use of
money"
What do you think OF the solution In
Illjnois?'
illinois is doubtful. Bryan, however,
can be elected without Illinois, Michi-
gan. Minnesota or Iowa. Ohio is tremb-
ling in its balance If the sentiment
continues to grow in our favor in that
state at the rate it is now growing, there
is no doubt that the state will go for
Bryan by a large majority. In Kentucky
there is hard fight. but fusion makes ii
safe"

Upon his arrival in this city he was met
by reception committee. and with MIS-.
Bryan was escorted to the st. Louis ho-
tel for dinner. He was then driven to
the Lyceum theater, where he addressed
an enthusiastic meeting of women.
Thence he proceeded to the car barn,
which was packed to the utmost with the
laboringmen Of Duluth. Here Mr. Bryan
was presented with the last utensil nee
essary for the signing of a silver bill.
when 1t should reach him, providing he
should be elected an elegant silver bottle
filled with the fluid necessary for the
purpose. Charles A Towne was chair
man of both meetings. and at each of
them he presented the nominee in a neat
little speech.
In the speech at the Lyceum theater,
Mr.. Bryan told the women that a dollar
could not be compared with yardsticlt.
as claimed by the supporters of the gold
standard, and in the few minutes during
NiiSil lie spoke devoted nlINS6lI GnllTtly
to the discussion of the yardstick propo-
sition, along the same lines pursued by
him many times before.
In the meeting at the car barn Mr.. Bry-
an spoke at some length upon the fusion
feature of the campaign, declaring that
the people had laid aside minor differen-
ces and Joined in a patriotic effort to eff

Mr.. Bryan said: Il desire to thank the
organized labor in this city for having

Bryan Says That "a Big Man Has
Only One Vote.

Duluth, MINI, Oct. 13.-The Bryan train
stopped at Staples today and Mr.. Bryan
eApounded ibis doctrine to a crowd of
several hundred. Among other things
he said:
The gold papers always say that there
were no men of prominence on the plat
form; they call attention to the absence
or the bankers and railroad presidents
and say somehow that these interests
are against the candidate. My friends,
they overlook the fact that a big man
does not vote any further than a lit
tie man. big man has only one vote
and sometimes he is so connected with
business interests that he can not con-
troll that. According to the constitu-
ton and the declaration OF independence
all men are equal. You can not judge a
cause by asking whether a man Is promi-
nent or not. Truth is truth and right
is right, even If they do not have bank
ers and railroad presidents on their
side"
At Brainerd. where Mr.. Bryan spoke
from stand to a large and enthusiastic
crowd, he said in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen 1 do not know
what arguments are most Familiarity ad-
Vanced here against free coinage
was going to say coercion was the ar
gument that is being resorted to now
by our opponents more than any other
argument But there is one advantage
about the voting in the states where --.ey
have the Australian ballot, and that is
that while q man may wear a badge In
order to save his employment, he has
a right to use his vote in order to save
his country. 1 do not find 1t in my heart
to criticise the men who wear republican
badges under compulsion.
These are hard times, and they will
be harder than this if the gold standard
continues, and it is no wonder a man
who has a job does not like to risk
having his job taken away from him be-
cause he insists upon being an Ameri-
can citizen But 1 DO rejoice that TIE
laboring men of this country were in
strumental In getting an Australian bal
lot to protect them in just such a crisis
as we are passing through. Without it
we could hardly hope for victory. But
my friends the secret ballot, where a
man votes as he wants to, and not as
somebody else wants him to- the Aus
tralan ballot Is the protection of the
American working men, and tyranny
awaits outside while he goes IN to vote
Some one has said that a man wears
the republican badge to save his en-
ployment and votes for free silver to
make his job worth saving"
AT Aitken Mr.. Bryan explained from
the platform the workings Of the bond
syndicate deal
Brief stops were also made at Carleton
and West Superior, where the candidate
made a short address to n good sized
crowd at each place.

IL is said by a well known attorney
here familiar with the cases. that an
adverse ruling in each may be anticipat-

the Capital.

Boise, oct. Ex-senator Dubois arrived
here from the north today and was given
an ovation at The Columbia thcator to-
night. lie spoke for an hour and half
TO an enthusiastic house. His address
was marked with that calm ana polished
dignity so characteristic of the senator
1t was one of the best speeches he hls

not intend that the world shall lay to

Senator Dubois in opening his remarks

northern part of Idaho to Washington.

a leader i'm the anti-MOrmon crusade. but
he said, conditions had changed, the Nor

Senator Dubois related the defeat Of the
Dingley bill and his experience in the

the fate of the country was threatened
to be sealed with the single gold stand e.

his audience listened breathlessly.

THE FURY OF THE GALE
LONG ISLAND COAST A STRETCH ss
RUINS.
stendy Do,vnpour OF Rain CompIes-
ing the Destruction Done by
the Hurricane.

New York, Oct l3-Dhe great storm Of
1896 has not been relegated to the annals
Of the past. and the story has not 1een
half told. No one has so far been able to
estimate the damage wrought by the wtao
and waves, not to say how far-reacnin8
was the fury of the gale. But as far as
the eye can see, from any point along the
shores of Long island, along the Jersey
coast, over in the lowlands and in some
instances over the highlands, wherever
one may turn, there are evidences that
hurricane has been passing through ms
section of the country. 1t was the tail OF
a storm that came from the Indies broad
and destructive. 1t lifted the seas to
giant height and forced in the waters
with sweep that carried them high over
the land to begin the work the wind and
rain would finish. For two days and "a
night the gale blew with ever increaA-
ing fury, and today there was steady
downpour of rain to complete the miser-
able devastation already done.

at Idgmer, at Far Rockaway and at y
dozen other points along the sea line tbs

foundations of the buildings one hotel

at Sea Island City, the finest structure Of
its kind in that section. The reports that
have already come in are to the effect
that in some sections whole districts on
the coast were clean-swept of the frame
buildings. Jersey City was in places
practically inundated, and boats were II

The railroads in that section of New
Jersey were sufferers to the extent Of
suspending business for a period, and

ADMITTED sILvER,s STRENGTH
Secretary Morton Says Gold Men
Make n Mistake.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Secretary Nor
ton has returned to Washington and re-
sumed his official duties after an extend
ed vacation in the west. He announced
today that he would take no part in the
elections, but added that if he was to
vote he would cast his ballot for Palmer
and Buckner, whose platform he regard
ed as satisfactory. His reasons for not
voting. he said, is the distance of his
Nebraska home from Washington, and
the lack of necessity for his vote which
he said he would cast II it were likely to
make any essential difference.
Il personally hope for Mckinley
election as between Mckinley and Bry-
an" he said. but I don't think anyone
Of the candidates can rest on their oars
with assurance. The republican party
is making a great mistake now in brag-
ging of it's strength and not doing more
work. There is no certainty until the
election IS an assured fact, and less noise
and more work in convincing voters OF
the right principles and the right creed
for them to support IS needed. This fail
ure to appreciate the strength of the 0p-
position was evident when the election
note was first sounded. I belong to a
political party which beittled the extent
Of the free silver craze in it's own ranks.
This is an unfortunate and mistaken idea,
and the sooner the party managers put
forth all their efforts to bring out all the
votes possible. the better it will be-"

MR. QUAY's FIGURES ARE ABSURD
So Chairman Jones Thinks, and Pro.
goods 10 Show WHY.

Chicago, Oct. 13-Chairman Jones, OF
the democratic national committee, gave
out a statement tonight characterizing
as absurd the figures showing the prob
able result of the election as given out by
Senator Quay Chairman Jones states
that in all states classed by Senator Quay
as doubtful a complete and harmonious
fusion between the democrats, populists
and silver republicans exists, rendering
them certain for Bryan. For the same
reason he classes as doubtful the states
Of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin. and claims
for Bryan the electoral votes OF Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, North Dakota and West Vir-
glnia, all of which were claimed for No
Kinley by Quay.
The table given out by Chairman Jones
gives 81 votes as certain for Mckinley, 279
for Bryan and 81 as doubtful.
