There has been considerable comment

that at the election at which the cleo

that tie bonds were to be issued "for the

land necessary for the same; for repair
ing and enlarging existing school build
ings, aud for the purchase of school
furniture and equipments"
The entire proceeds of the bonds were
placed IN the building fund Of the dis

ieved that the furniture and equipments

The Outlook In New York.

residence in the White House will
not, as at first planned, be laid out
in converting" the voters of the
West and Middle West to the gold
standard. From the present lock OF
things considerable slice of it will
be needed in New York.
When the intrepid leader of the
national Democracy suggested, after
his nomination, that there was a
chance to carry the Empire State for
bimetallism, there were those, even
in bis own party, who regarded the
suggestion as visionary and imprac-
tlcable. The Hanna Republicans
and boiling Democrats laughed at
the idea
Since the Democratic candidate
made his mastery speech in Madi-
son Square Garden, tide of free
silver sentiment has risen in New
York that is filing Hannas Presi-
dental Trust with apprehension and
giving hope to the Democratic lead
ers.
The farmers OF the State, who
have heretofore been the 1nainstay
ofthe Republican party, are arraying
themselves in large numbers on the
side of Bryan aud bimetallism, and
the detection of this class from the
Republican ranks will 90 on increas
ing as the canvass progresses.
Thousands of workingmen in the
populous manufacturing cities have
declared their intention to vote for
Bryan and Sewall Tammany, the
most compact and perfect politi-
cal organic alton in the country,
that has always been the chief con
tributor to the almost unbroken
chain of Democratic victories in New
York in past contests, is solidlY in
line for the Democratic candidates
and platform. There is scant doubt
that Senator Hill will place himself,
as he has always done, at the head
of the Democratic hosts, ani lead
the battle.
Wall street will need the biggest

York for Mckinley, aud there is Sc
