|. Congressman Newlands passed
through from his eastern trip today.
He is looking well and seems to have
enjoyed hie campaign among the gold
bugs. MIR. Newtands started East in
the carly part OF October in response
to urgent kilograms from the Demo.
cratic National Committee to lid in
the campaign in the doubtful
States.
His first speech was made at the
meeting of the Silver clubs ut st.
Louis at which Vice. President Stew
enson presided. Bryan addressed
the clubs the same day. He had pre-
viously spoken sixteen times that day
and followed his long speech to $4,000
people by speaking twice at open air
meetings. Mr.. Newlande saw Mr..
Bryan about IL o'clock that night and
chatted quite while with him. He
seemed as fresh as y boy Mr.. New.
lands then went to MARY land and
commenced the campaign. He spoke
several times in Maryland and was ell
Enthusiastically received. A ter stump
ing Maryland he proceeded slowly
through Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
Minnesota At Detroit, he met Mr..
Bryan again and addressed the same
auiiences that night. they spoke to

MIR. Nswland's work was in strong
Republican localities and his speeches
presented the protective aspects Of
the silver question. Mr.. Newlands is
confident that Town win be elected.
He also reports Michigan, Indiana.
and Minnesota as sure for Bryan and
Is confident that these States. though
the other States Of the Middle west
go against him, will insure Bryan's
election.
Asked as 10 the situation IN Mary
land, Illinois and Ohio, he replied
that Senator German had assured
him in Chicago few days ago that
Maryland was absolutely safe for
Bryan, and that he had no doubt Of
it. The result In Illinois depended
to large extent upon the labor vote
lin Chicago. The prospects there
/ wore that Bryan would carry the
State. Ohio he said ives extremely
doubtful. rs
