Washington, Aug. Representative
Brumm of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania
district, who was nominated last Mon
day, in discussing the political outlook
this morning admitted that there was
quite free silver sentiment among the
anthracite coal miners in his district.
He believes, however, that, with the
proper campaign, these men will be re-
strained from voting against the re-
publican ticket. There has been talk Of
putting a free silver republican In NOM
ination in his district, but this will
probably not be done. AS to the result
in the state, there Is, Mr.. Brumm says
absolutely no doubt thar Mckinley win
carry it by an old-time majority.
Chairman Faulkner of the democratic
congressional committee Is daily in re-
ceipt of letters from various parts of
Pennsylvania showing that the free sill
yer sentiment is growing stronger
there. He said to-day
sEx- Congressman Mutchler of the
Eighth Pennsylvania district was in
this city this morning and says we will
make very large gains The democrat
ic representation in congress from this
state will surprise the republicans. We
have made q careful canvass of the sit
uation but do not propose at this day
to indicate what our expectations are"
The statement of Vice Chairman APPS
ley of the republican committee that
the silver sentiment is receding, and
that the reaction has already set in,
AZ MI "a VITO n
man Faulkner IT fail to see," he said.
where Mr.. Apsley gets his informa-
ton. Our advices are to the contrary.
and we have been conscientious in en-
deavoring to get at the exact situation.
I am convinced that If Mr. Apsley gets
out among the laboring classes, among
the people who are talking seriously
and soberly about the money question,
and places little less reliance upon
the utterances of politicians who re-
fuse to see the trend Of public senti-
ment, he will change the views he now
entertains. Our mail is something
enormous and 1t Is all one way. The
information Is not from professional
politicians, but from the farmer, the
workman, the inha bitants of the towns
and the residents about the country
crossroads. These are the men who
are doing the thinking, and they are
the people who will do the independent
voting this year. The people will not
this year vote as the politician dictates,
but will vote their own sentiments.
'It is campaign of the people and
by the people, and does not require any
management. Here is an illustration
in my mail this morning of the per-
sonal interest being taken in this cam
paign I have just received a request
from a merchant in Huntingdon, w.
Va, asking how much 500 cabinet pho
tographs of Mr.. Bryan will cost He
wants to give them away to his GUS
toners He is willing to spend this
money on his own account for the good
of the cause. He is but one of thou
sands who are zealously spreading the
doctrine for which the democratic par
ty stands, and asking no assistance
from this or any other committee. Such
zeal is bound to be fruitful in good re-
SUITS
At republican headquarters this
morning an address to the American
people by the West End Mckinley Re
publican club (colored) was put in cir
culation. It is a strong appeal to the
colored voters of the United States to
stand by the republican party, and
among other things quotes the Ian
guage of the late Fred Douglass, "The
republican party is the ship; all else
the sea- 1t will be given large circu-
lation by the congressional committee.
