1t might be we'll for Mr.. Bryan to as
certain whether or not there are any
gold Democrats who desire to get into
the Popocratic party before he issues
any proclamations. Since the election
there has been noticeable an extensive
scramble on the part of men who for
merly trained with the Democracy, to
cut loose from Organism and array
themselves under the banner of the
Indianapolis leaders. If Organism ever
figures in another presidential cam
paign, which is extremely doubtful, it
name of the Populist party.

1t is apparent from the returns re-
ceived. that Bryan and Sewall get in
round numbers 1000 less votes in this
State than did Mr.. Frank and that Mr..
Mckinleys plurality nearly reaches
that given Mr.. Powers and exceeds
that given to Mr.. Harrison by about
$4,000. Palmer and Buckner received
1871 votes and Clifford but 604, the diff
ference being in all probability chiefly
due to the fact that the latter's name
was not printed on the ticket.

Bryans efforts to substitute the term
bimetallism for free silver are anus
ing but hopeless. The American people
have been fairly well educated on the
currency question during the past few
months, and it is altogether too late
in the day to undertake to palm off
silver mono metallism for bi-metallism.
The American people understand how
vast the difference is between the two.
and are not to be deceived by Mr..
Bryan's attempted jugglery with
names.

The totals given are, Bryan 1922, Nc.

a grand total of only $4,000, against
1886 in 1892. What has become Of

land was $4,000 in 1892 The vote for
Bryan is $4,000 less than that. The
vote for Harrison in 1892 was $4,000. The
vote for Mckinley exceeds that by r..
900. Georgia is one of the few states
in which a Populist fusion
on electors was not fixed up. The re.
turns make it look as if a good many
thousands of disguised Populists and
disguised Democrats either did not
vote at all or voted for Mckinley. The
Bryan Democrats. however, succeeded
in carrying every Congressional dis
trict.
