and as Bryan Will EaFSely uEpeha
upon the gains in the rural districts,
it may be day or two before the re
suit is known.
Stilson Hutchins, founder of the
Washington Post, who is AN acute OBJ
server. declares that labor is for Bryan,
and that labor turned the scale for
Cleveland in 1884, turned it against
him for Harrison In 1888, and Will turn
it now for Bryan.
The Chicago Inter Ocean, a strong
Mckinley paper, can figure out only
235 votes for Mckinley, and to get so
many it has to claim Illionis, Iowa,
Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, and
West Virginia. Bryan will carry at
least half of these.
The New York Herald Michigan cor
respondent says that 10000 Republican
farmers i'm that State will vote for
Bryan, and adds: 'tIf 1T were not for
Don M. Dickinson and his old Demo-
cratic organization, which is now
fighting Bryan, Michigan would he lost

expects certainly to carry, giving him
251 votes In the doubtful column he
embraces Delaware 3; Illinois "a;
Maryland s; and Minnesota 8. 1t may
be that some friend of Mr. Bryan be-
lieves he will carry these States. Mr..
Bryan himself has steadfastly refused
to give out any figures.
The news from Illinois is that Bryan
will come to Cook county tChi-
cago), with 10000 majority
Cleveland carried Chicago by over
10000. Ex-Governor Altgeld be-
lieyes Bryan will do better, but
there is so much uncertainty about the
result in Chicago that NO figures are
reliable. The fact that organized
labor invited Mr.. Bryan to speak on
Labor Day, and nearly all the leaders
are active for him, seems ito indicate
that he will carry the city. All sides
admit that which ever way the labor
vote goes, SO will go the city.
Mr.. H. f. Siiksdorf, a German farmer
and stock raiser of Washington State,
who is in Washington, tells the Post
that those who think the German vote
is going to Mckinley do not under
stand the situation at all. He says:
ST think the German vote will general
Nv divide upon the same lines as the
native vote. The laiboring and pro-
ducing classes will lean toward free
silver and more money, while those
who have grown quite wealthy, those
who are connected with large CONNER
cial and industrial institutions, will
advocate the gold standard. My own
personal acquaintance among the Ger
mans, which is confined generally to
the laiboring and producing classes, in
dictate about 90 per cent of these for
Bryan"
Mrs. Josephine X. Henry, the woman
suffrage orator, who is stumping Ken
lucky for Bryan, created quite a SEN
sation in "a speech at Versailles last
Thursday might by a scathing attack
upon Breckenridge. She said: Among
the candidates who are appealing for
your votes in the coming election is
a silver-tongmed wretch who tTampled
on the hottest emotions of woman's
soul in every relation of life, and who
brought such shame and humiliation
to the people of this State that Ken
lucky has become 'byword and a re-
proach to the outside world. Yet, not
content with this, he has seized a
double-edged stiletto, and now he at
tempts to plunge it into the heart OF
the Democratic party, that has honored
and trusted him, only to be betrayed.
