GOVERNOR RICHARDS HOPEFUL.
Thinks Wyoming Can BE Carried for
MckiRley-Other Surprises In
Store for Bryanites.

Oakland. Cal. Sept. s.-Governor William
A. Richards. Of Wyoming. is in Oakland.
He said yesterday: 81 believe we can carry
the state for Mckinley. We are not a
large state, having only about 900 voters
and three electoral votes, but things might
so happen that these three votes would be
necessary. and We shall do everything to
place them in the Mckinley column.
wyoming is not the only state IN which
the supporters of Bryan may receive a sur
prise. In colorado, although II will go for
Bryan, there is going to be much larger
vote for Mckinley than even newspapers
would like to admit. and l think the Re:
course, Senator Teller has been told by the
silver men that he will be returned to the
senate, but there are others who have
been scheming for many years to capture
the senatorship, and it is within the bounds
of possibility that Teller will find himself
deceived. The upshot of it all will be that
Senator Wolcott will emerge from the
confusion as master of the situation"
