NSAS AN
missionary work for the silver cause.
He paid the INDEPENDENT Office Il
pleasant call this forenoon and kindly
gave us the following concerning
Bryan s chances in Kentucky and the
middle west:
The situation in the East has reach
ed the critical stage. Without much
effort the spontaneous uprising Of the
people has resulted i'll such 4 change
Of sentiment that were the election
held Tomorrow Bryan's election
would be a certainty.
Two months careful observation
and study OF the situation
has led me to believe that
although the Mark Hanna syndicate
have aggregated wealth behind them
and an unlimited supply of money
with which to conduct the campaign
that this question has assumed
such intensity that any attempt TO
tamper with the American people i'll
their present aroused condition will
react upon the Republican managers.
My observation justifies me in pre-
dieting the election OF Bryan the sue.
cess Of the ticket in Ohio, Michigan,
Illinois and Indiana.
THINK my enthusiasm. natural TO
II Nevada man, is tempered with judg-
ment. base my predictions upon
actual incidents.
\ manufacturer in Cincinnati told
Inc that he had in his employ 500 men
10 per cent OF whom were for Bryan
and Scwall. ] heard rs much silver
talk rs gold talk i'll Cincinnati. The
candidate for the Court OF Appeals in
Ohio on the Democratic Ticket. who
accepted the nomination under pro
test, yet, feeling certain he would
not be elected, becoming convinced
OF Democratic success has resigned
his place. onthe ticket. | heard a man
on the Tobacco brakes i'll Cincinnati
offer 500 on Bryan without II takcr.
Money is eve on Bryan o while
IL month ago the odds were against
him.
Jno. g. HIurmOny, Secretary Of the
Canton Bryan Club, wrote me that
many Republicans were boiling
Mckinley and that their club con
tains G2 Republicans.
y gentleman from Canton. a life
long Republican. told me that he con-
coded Bryan's election. Fifteen Com
mercial men whom ! interviewed all
admitted that to-day Bryan's election
was a certainty and the commercial
men are to Il unit for gold and sound
money.
In travelling through Ohio | find an
enthuaiasm on silver amounting to
the intensity of religious fervor. The
farmers are all boiling. Fifty-sevcn
thou.and Populists will vote for Bry-
an. and enough Republicans holt TO
markc the state extremely doubtful.
The contest is centercd on the labor
vote.
\ similar coalition Of affairs exist
in Kentucky, Indiana aud Illinois.
This campaign il assuming a
broad scope. and the lines indepcnd-
ent OF party are being drawn be-
tween aggregated wealth. the creditor
and rich man, and the laborer. farmer,
producer and debtor. 1t is an omen
revolt against the power OF the
National banks. bond holders and
Wall street.
The future Of this State, the hone,
prosperity and success OF every
young man il involved in this great
contest. The great cry and demand
IN those states is for cnlightment and
education. ! was besciGcd for silver
literature. y silver pamphlet is more
potent for good than one of Humans
S2O gold pieces. ! urge onthe people
OF the West the great neccessity OF
sending men into the doubtful States.
Prominent silver men, chairmen Of
county and state committees, urged
me to collect literature Of any kind
and | hope that every man in
Nevada who has "A pamphlet speech
or article will save il and mail il East.
| regard tho independent attitude
OF Nevada as the main cauge o,
silyer's prominence. Thc,pcreiG.cncy
OF her Senators and congressman has
forced the Issue upon the people and
to-day the people Of the West with
literaturc-backcd by justice and
tho Lords help can overcome ever
the millions Of Hanna.
