creeIman on the Situation.

r. M. Yost, writing to the Cincinnati
Post refers to a conversation he had
with James Creelman in indianapolis
few days since, in which that gentle
man says as follows:
"My estimate of the situation, based
on actual contact with the people, is
this: The Southern States, with the
possible exception of Louisiana, will go
for Bryan. Iowa will give a decisive
majority for Mckinley. So will West
Virginia Nebraska is rather doubt
full but last year on square issue be-
tween gold and silver gold had the ad-
vantage by 1000. Kentucky is debat-
able, though believe Carlisle's popu-
larity will keep it out of the Bryan
column. This is Carlisle's last chance
to go into history as great Secretary
of the Treasury, and he must have the
support Of his own state. Watterson
will see that he gets it, too. Wiscon-
son, Michigan and Minnesota are solid
Mckinley. In the East the states of
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Delaware, and possibly Maryland are
for the Republican nominee. 1t is very
patriotic and righteous to deprecate
the use of money at elections, but
everybody knows that money is used
and frequently turns the scale. Bryan
has no money and cannot get any.
The men who are in the habit of put
ting up for the Democratic nominee
are now for Mckinley, and SO the cam
paign is practically ended right now"
II have been travelling recently on
bicycle" he said to me, through the
farms and villages of Southern Ohio:
! have talked to the farmers about
national finances, and my opinion is
that Bryan does not stand ghost of a
show of election. The farmers have
been maligned and misrepresented.
They are largely for sound money"

Electric RItters.

Electric Bitters is q medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed, when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
