II have been urged for several weeks TO

the intelligent mind as to who would be elected.

nomination Of Bryan and Sewa by one faction
OF the Democratic party, and the substantial
absorption of the Populist party which sue

would finally go, and this condition of un-
certainty has not yet entirely disappeared; but

"Of these one or more within the line OF

II put my estimate upon the facts within my

been going on ever since the actual campaign OF
1896 began believe that the vote Of Arkansas.
To which our opponents pointing with pride,
is more significant Of coming results in the Mid
die and Western States than is even the mag
nifcent victory in Maine. The fact that a state
like Arkansas with the character of whose
elections have become so familiar. exhibited
such a splendid increase of Republican votes
and such a significant decrease OF Democratic
votes is in the highest degree important; and
relative increase of Republican votes in the
other Middle and Western States would give

man can shut his eyes To the fact that
the Mckinley tide has been rising since about

that Greeley might be elected Yet In Novem-
