WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Especial /
There is great interest here In the sena-
torial contests which are to take place in a
number of state legislatures next month.
There are likely to be some bitter string.
giles in such states as North Carolina.
Washington, South Dakota, Idaho and
Utah. In Indiana and Wisconsin the re
suit appears to be conceded. In the former
state there Is not much doubt that Charles
w. Fairbanks of indianapolis will be the
hepubllcan choice and, of course that
means the new senator, as the Republicans
have control of the Legislature. There has
been some talk to the effect that ex. Presi-
dent Harrison would be candidate for
the senate, but recent announcement re-
moves him from the list of possibilities 7
have never regarded Mr.. Harrison "a n
candidate. In fact, am assured General
Harrison has had no thought of re-enterino
pubic life. He would have been willing
to be his party's candidate for the presi.
oency again had the st. Louis convention
CHOSEN to nominate him, but General Har
rison was indifferent even to that honor.
AS Tor the senatorship, he long ago gave
the friends Of Mr.. Fairbanks to understand
he would not be in the way, and. of course
he has never had any thought of disregard.
Ing that pledge.

AS the campaign progresses the
Mckinley wave is gathering increas-
ed force and volume. Every avenue
of reliable information cOrrObOrates
this statement, and even on the prai-
ries of the western states it is becOm-
ing recognized fact. To satisfy
ones self all a person has to do is
move in any direction where there
are people gathered together for
any purpose. The Middle and west
ern states, including Nebraska, both
Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, etc,
at one time called doubtful, are fair
ly ablaze for Mckinley. This, OF
course, will be called partisan view,
but it is warranted by the very best
and most reliable information to be
had. The PRESS believes it, and ii
any reader thinks different, we hope
he will cut out this item and either
prove it to be wrong after election,
or give the PRESS credit for its
prophecy.

Business Confidence.

| All business men know that the
greatest impetus to business is con-
| 1dence. When there is q lack Of coy
fdence money will 90 into hiding.
And this means not only the money
OF capitalists, but the same thing is
SO OF the people in general. When
there is q lack of confidence men hold
on to every dollar. Keep it right in
their pockets. This being done in
every community by thousands of
individuals is what makes money
scarce and hard to get. The mere
promise OF good times, establish
ment of confidence, will bring money
out, and throw it into the channels
OF business. 1t will circulate freely,
men will spend more and undertake
more enterprises OF all kinds, because
they expect things to be all right;
mechanics and laborers will be en-
ployed to make improvements; they
will live better with the promise of
better times; the farmer improves
his place and supplies the wants of
his family; the business man in all
lines of trade turns his stock oftenQr.
and does far more business.
SO, confidence is what we want.
We have the resources; the country
has the money-plenty OF it. Now
how are we going to get that conf
dence into the minds of the people? ?
You know reader-we don't care what
your politics be. Now be honest
with yourself. Just make up your
mind, regardless of what your past
connections have been. to vote for
Mckinley and sound money, and Oh
November Sd, you will contribute all
that lies in the power of man to do
to establish confidence, and start
the wheels OF prosperity to spinning
again. We will not have to wait for
republican legislation. Just this
country stating in plain terms by
the ballot that our people favor
progress and honesty, will be suffi-
cient. The good republican laws
will soon follow. But the PRESS be-
lieyes, honestly and sincerely, that
as soon as November 3D. is passed,
and Mckinley's election is an abso-
lutte certainty, all classes OF people
will have confidence, that business
will Immediately improve; and that
money will begin to circulate every
where. And believing this we think
the election of Major Mckinley is the
most important act OF this country
since the civil war.

The Chicago Commercial demo-
cratic Mckinley club, composed OF
$50 lifelong democrats, called upon
Major Mckinley last week. 1t is the
first time in the history of this coun-

indorsing Mckinley, is only one OF
hundreds of indications that he will

As silver production has increased,

As silver production has increased,
the cost OF silver ware and plate has
become cheaper. Who has bought

OF course. Ii a free coinage law
would raise the price of silver, would
not wealthy silverware owners as

Vermont, Arkansas. Maine.

Three states have voted this month
| for state officers. The battle in each
was upon national lines. and it is a
remarkably strong Indication OF the
Mckinley and sound money land
slide coming on Noy. Sd.
Vermont voted first, and gave re
publican majority of 80, ,O39. At the
September election of 1892, she gave
the republicans Il majority Of only
10000
Arkansas voted next. 1t is always
soIidly democratic; is the home or
Chairman Jones, OF the democratic
committee; Snd is in the south west
where the silverites look for help.
OF course it went largely democrat
ic this month, but not SO largely as
it has for several years, and the re-
publican vote was increased from
26,OOO in 1894 to 5000 in 1896,
and the populist vote fell OIL several
thousands from their vote OF 1894.
Then came Maine on September
| 18th, with republican majority OF
nearly $4,000, the largest eyer re-
corded in the states History. Four
years ago in September Maine only
gave the republicans n majority OF
14,9OO.
Here we have the record OF three
states, one the home OF chairman
Jones, who is at the head of the Bry-
IN campaign, and another the home
OF the democratic vice presidential
candidate, but Notwithstanding
these facts, all three states largely
increased their republican vote.
These are facts which no intelligent
man will dispute.
Now what do these remarkable re-
publican gains mean? They mean
that the republicans have the best
facts and logic to present to the peo-
pie in this campaign; that the peo-
pie are both intelligent and honest;
that they are thinking and voting
for what is right according to their
best Judgment. 1t means further
that the free silver Bryan campaign
is one of noise and boastful claims
not based upon reliable information.
Every state that has voted indi-
Gates that the people strongly | favor
Mckinley and sound money. Every
straw vote recorded any where in
this country gives the same result.
If any man refuses to accept the del
mite. and reliable information, or
tries to discredit the great volume OF
evidence pointing to republican sue
success, it is simply because he will
not believe-because he does not
want to believe.
