Virginia Claimed for Mckinley.
Washington, Sept. 9.-Ex-G Governor
Fletcher, of Missouri. is in from Mis-
souri, and reports the prospects for
the Republican party in that state as
full of promise.
EX-State Senator ]. Sloat Fassett,
of New York, has no patience with
the Bryanite pretensions. He says:
'They are long on wind and short on
facts. Our people know that cheap
money means cheap labor, and they
don't want any of either. Ii Hung
Chang said America needed cheap la
Dor, but he did not state that misera-
bly, low wages ruled in his own
country, where cheap labor prevails.
The working man ought to think of
this"
After a trip through Wisconsin and
Minnesota, Robert p. Porter, of Cleve-
land, says:
"Hhe people believe that the cleo
ton of Mckinley will be followed by
n revival of business. There are
thousands of men out of work in the
lumber and mining districts, and if
Bryan should win there would be
thousands more. Workingmen and
farmers both understand that Repub-
lican success is their only hope. They
will save themselves from further suf-
fering by voting the Republican
ticket"
II think the third ticket will help
us in Illinois, Indinana and Ken
lucky" says Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia. 1T is not likely to affect
the result in my state, which, pre-
dict, will give at least 10000 Repub-
lican majority in November. believe
that the trend of public sentiment is
fixed in favor of sound money.
feel confident the workingmen and
| farmers are with us in this fight
II feel confident of success in
Maryland. North Carolina and
West Virginia in the south, and
we may also carry Virginia. Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Louisiana"
II say that the people of Maryland
are just as honest as the people of
Vermont" said James A. Gray today.
"My state will give proof of its integ-
rity and devotion to the union in No
vember. | was a memeber of the ma
tional Republican committee for six
teen years, and know our people thor
oughly. The sound money Democrats
will see that there is a majority roll
ed up that will exercise the free sill
yer devil for all time. Our state went
Republican last year for the first time.
and elected Lowndes governor by
10000. look for a $4,000 majority
this fall"
| Congressman Brewster, Of ROches-
ter, n. Y, in telling Senator Quay that
he believed Mckinley would sweep
the country as Gen. Grant did, said:
Il believe he will carry all the west
ern states to the Mississippi, and sew
eral beyond it. Minnesota and Ne
braska are both going Republican
The silver craze surely is subsiding
Republicans who sought information
on this issue were promptly classed
as silver men, when they were moth
ing of the kind. The money question
is a great moral issue, and we can
depend on the honesty of the Ameri-
can people to solve it rightly. All the
principles of the Chicago platform
mean anarchy, and this country will
never subscribe to any such doctrine.
I don't believe the farmers of the em-
pire state are for Bryan, and can see
no reason to doubt that New York
will give 100000 for the Republican
/ ticket"
