The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1896-07-01

Tue MISSOURI, from the Rio Grande to
the English line. Silver will sweep all
before it. Teller will get most of them.
but at least Mckinley has lost every
electoral vote after you leave the Mis-
souri, river. They will go to populists,
TO democrats, to silver republicans. but
rhey will none of them go to Mckinley,
that candidate handmade by Hanna on
a platform to which in his heart of
hearts he is false.
Heaven hates coward, and Mckinley
has not been brave. The people are
against him, and the gods will not fight
on his side. Give the vest to silver.
California, Oregon, Washington, Mon
tana, IdahV, Nevada, Utah, Colorado,
Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nebraska. Kan
sas and Texas-silver has already con
quered them all. And the south-Mc-
Kinley cannot win or hold foot of it.
Every former slave state, excepting Del
aware, will go democratic. There is no
doubt in national war with the democ-
racy for free silver of such states as Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Maryland. Even
West Virginia would be hard to hold.
Mckinley may kiss hope goodbye SO far
as Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, Virgin
ia and Maryland are involved. He'll
get none of them.
Count up the others and see if he'd
have enough should he carry them all.
He'll be made to sup defeat. But even
were they enough, faith has not deci led
that Mckinley can carry the others. He
can carry Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut, the six New England states.
Reed, the republican Achilles, will sulk
in his tent, but his region will go for Nc
Kinley. Unless a split occurs at Chica-
go, and it well may happen, and gold
democrat do in the east what Teller is
doing in the west, Mckinley will carry
New Jersey and Delaware.
Mckinley is sure, too, of Pennsylya-
mia, despite the cloud of Cameron and
his silver lining. Steve Elkins. adept.
may steal him West Virginia. There is
streak of solemn Dutch all through
Wisconsin which may save to Mckinley
that sober commonwealth. For the de-
cency CT the thing count Ohio for Nc
KinleY, albeit, should the democrats
name Campbell, Mckinley would be
driven to the Buckeye wall in moment.
Count all those states for Mckinley.
But the others of the north-Minnesota
Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and
New York-are debatable, fighting
ground.
Mckinley is not sure of any of them.
In the doctrine of chances he's sure to
lose one-third of them. Illinois, for in

publicanism and rend it. Tanner.

Of, is bad and the people know it. Alt.
geld, after one gets through with his
anarchistic side, has been the best gov
ernor the state ever saw, and all concede
it. The state is a-riot for free silver.
Mckinley can't carry country or city in
that state. Illinois is about as certain
against Mckinley as Texas itself. There
you are.
When the democrats come together at
Chicago we will know more. But we

is paradox of politics, but it's true.
All Mckinley has is the gold strength.
A bolt at Chicago means division of
that strength. For one thing, it would
make his overthrow IN New York, which
seems sure already, certain.
A BIG HOG.
