The Republican Party stands
; for honest money and the chance
: to earn it by honest toll.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
THE POLITICIAN.

Good news continues TO flow into
Republican headquarters. Conspicu-
GUS among the many cheering reports
of the week was that brought by Rep
resentative Hainer, of Nebraska, con-
cerning the situation in that state.
He said: II don't want to make any
extreme statement, but | know that
am conservative in saying that Nc
Kinley will get the electoral vote OF
my state. There has been a decided
reaction. At first state pride entered
very largely into the problem, but the
Nebraska people are not repudiators
and can always be relied upon for their
loyalty to the welfare of the country.
We shall not have a walk-over, for
Nebraska has become something OF
battle field in this. campaign, Every
store window in the cities has litho-
graph of either Mckinley or Bryan,
but five out of every six business men,
even in Lincoln, are for sound money.
The farming classes are all right de-
spite the fact that they have suffered
.nnder great prostration of business
and the successive crop failures. I'm
der such propagation not many states
would be true to conservative lines.
We have not forgotten how one crop
failure caused famine in Russia in
1891, and how the people of Nebraska
got together and fitted out ship load
of provisions to relieve the distress in
that rich agricultural country; nor
has it been forgotten that when Con-
gress was asked to pay for the trans
portation William j. Bryan was among
those who voted against the appropri-
alton to send the ship across the
waters on its mission of mercy. You
will find in spite of the confusing
statements made about the result in
Nebraska that in the final roundup
Nebraska will be Republican state
still"
Representative Leighty, of Indiana,
says: II know of no reason why those
who voted with US in 1884 will not do
SO now, and | believe we will get 1000
sound money democratic votes in the
district" and Representative Eddy, of
Maine, says of his district: This dis
trict is improving each day. The dem
ocrats and populists have become alarm
ed and have sent their ablest speakers
into the district in an endeavor to stay
the tide, which is turning our way"
These are fair specimens of the re-
ports from Congressional districts.
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee is sending out the following ex-
tract from President Grants first in
augural address; ITO protect the ma
tional honor, every dollar of govern
ment indebtedness should be paid in
gold, unless otherwise expressly pro-
yided for. Let it be understood that
public debt will be trusted in public
place, and it will go far towards
strengthening credit that should be
the best in the world"
Mr.. c. M. Woodbury., prominent
business man of Kentucky, who is
now in Washington, said of that state
my judgment is that Mckinley will
carry Kentucky. At any rate the men
who are believers in sound money have
great confidence in his ability to do so.
They estimate that he will have ma
jority of $1,000 to 10000 while the Bry,
an advocates are not making claims to
any such figures. From the way they
talk it does not seem that they have
