HE SEES RENEWED PROS
PERITY IN IT'S VICTORY.
SOUTH AND WEST
SOLID.
THE CELEBRATED PREACHER
GIVES HIS VIEWS FREELY.
BUT SAYS he Is NOT A PARTS AN

Reports the South as Almost to a man
in Favor OF tha Inm ,dlate Rsnonitlzation
of the White Metal.
"If the silver people win, l believe
there will be such revival in business,
uch booming 10 industries, which are
n ow inactive, and such a general shake
ing up of commercial interests that the
country will be sure to prosper :"
These words were spoken by the Rev.
DR., T. De Witt Talmage, at Easthamton'
l.. l., after long tour of the Southern
States.
The reverend gentlem an is a keen OBJ
server and can see which way the wind
blows as quickly and with as much GER
tainty as the shrewdest of politicians.
Hs ,ioes not on:y preacl TO the pe"pie,
but be mlngles with them, feeling the
popular pulse and searching the hearts of
his country.men.
DR.. Talmage arrived at E4sthamton
on Friday last from Chautauqua, where
he had attended an educational conven-
ZION. Not only in the big cities did tn Q
Doctor mingIe with the resident, but In
minor townships and villages
| ALMOST ALL FOR SILVER
During my entire trip" be said, II
did not ind more than one OR two men
who were not silverites. The unanimity
was astounding. The sentiment down
South is universally for the white metal.
BrSa an and Sswall will get very large
vote from that section of the country
| Dr.. Talmage is too little or Two much
of politician to come out fat-footed for
free silver, but bis utterances are perhaps
sufficiently significant to show the teL>
denotes of his personal feelings.
INV associatins and training and
my POLITICAL affiliations of the past place
me on the side of single standard, he
cautiusly said, and then as q twinkle
came into his eye he added: "But GER
tsinly believe that instead of disaster and
ruin following in the wake OF the silver
movement, the opposite will be the re-
! suit.
"I am not advocating that side of th'
? POLITICAL question:" said the diplomatic
divine, "but l do not belevs, with goot
many of my Christian friends, that in tn
success of that movement the country
;, will greatly suffer.
y "This is strong nation" he added. NV
are engaged in q great POLITICAL cam
: paign, and 1t will i'll beit me to be
J strong PARTISAN on either side. Their
= are honest, Christian, patriotic men o.
both sides, and the life of the countr
- and welfare of its interest will be grea
- incentive to lead men in the right direc
;. ton. I have great faith in the peo pl
~ of vast Southern 9 nd Western tract ar
=, ,f vehemently in favor of silver"
