The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-10-15

The above States which are now rea-
sonably certain for Bryan, with a GER
tainty of gaining steadily to the cleo
ton, gives two hundred and thirty
two electoral votes, or eight more than
enough to elect.
1t will be noticed that in the above
table is not included States like Hi
nois, with twenty-four votes; Della
ware with three; Minnesota, with
nine, Michigan with fourteen, and
Iowa with thirteen. In these States
Bryan's chances are at least even. In
fact, if the election was to take
place tomorrow, it is almost certain
that he would carry several Of these
States, if not all OF them; and there is
every Indication that the silver senti-
ment will be stronger in these States
on the third of November than at
present. Thus it will be seen that
Bryan can be elected if all these Ger
tral Western States, which are con-
sidered the fighting ground in the
campaign should go for Mckinley. If
the reaction against Hanna's Doodle
campaign continues, as it has set in
during the last ten days, Bryan will
have votes to spare in the electoral
college. Today, even Ohio is tremb-
ling in the balance, and may go for
Bryan. AS we have said above, there
is, in fact, but one danger now, and
that is Hanna's efforts to try to get
dssensiOns on the joint electoral
tickets.
The information received at head
quarters show that the labor vote will
probably vote more unitediy this year
than ever before. The efforts at CO.
ercion aud intimidation by the EN-.
plOyers of labor was never before
greater than it is this year, and the
manhood of the laboring man is now
who, not satisfied with making hin
an industrial slave, is now trying tt
make him a political vassal also. The
gold people made an appointment /;
few days ago for POWderly, in Chicago
advertised him as great labor leader
and did everything in their power t.
get the laboring men out to hear him
But the laboring people, believing
that Powderly was in the pay of thei
enemy, refused to go out to hear him
He had only handful of people in
large Opera House. Information i
|. received from number of points
where emissaries are sent to talk to Ia
!, boring men in the interest of the gol'
standard, to the effect that the result
OF all of these efforts have been t.
arouse the manhood of the laborin:
. men, and make them come out bold!
!, and declare for Bryan and silver.
The State election in Florida show
a falling off in the Democratic vote
:, 1t is understood that the two grea
= Railway systems in that State will
q everything in their power to give tn
! electoral vote of the State to Mckin
= ley. But if joint electoral ticket ca
Y be arranged there, the State is safe.
o THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
oI In answer to a telegram receive
n from the evening Journal of Atlant
'G tot day, Chairman Butler sent the fo
II lowing dispatch to that paper, whic
u gives the view of headquarters her
8 concerning the Georgia election.
Is is as follows:
l. TIE Evening Journal, Atlanta Ga:
n 1t is almost certain that majorit
G. of the white votes of Georgia was ca
for the Peoples Party State ticke
This is a great gain over the party
last vote, and is due to the person
popularity of Tom Watson in his OW
State. and to the desire of the peop
r to rebuke the management OF the Del
ocratic party in the State affairs
Georgia. Evidently the Democrat
party is indebted to the negro vote +
