considered the fighting ground in
the campaign should 90 for Nc
Kinley, If the reaction against
Hanna's Doodle campaign contin-
ues, as it has set IN during the last
ten days. Bryan will have votes to
spare in the electoral college. To
day, even Ohio is trembling in the
balance, and may 90 for Bryan.
As we have said above, there is,
in fact, but one danger now, and
that is Hanna's efforts to try to
get dissentions on the joint electo-
raj tickets.
LABOR VOTE LINING UP AGAINST
MCKINLEY.
The information received at
headquarters show that the labor
vote will probably vote more unit
ed this year than ever before.
The efforts at coercion and intimi-
dation by the employers of labor
was never greater than it is this
year, and the manhood of the la
boring man is now beginning to
rebel against his master, who, not
satisfied with making him an in
dustrial slave, is now trying to
make him a political vassal also.
The gold people made an appoint
ment few days ago for Powderly,
in Chicago, advertised him as a
great labor leader, and did every
thing in their power to get the la
boring men out to hear him. But
the laboring people believing that
Powderly was in the pay of their
enemy, refused to 60 out to hear
him. He had only handful of
people in large Opera House.
Information is received from
number of points where emissaries
are sent to talk to labOring men in
the interest of the gold standard,
to the effect that the results of all
these efforts have been to arouse
the manhood of the laboring men
and make them come out boldly
and declare for BRYAN and silver.
The state election in Florida
shows falling off in the demo-
cratic vote. 1t is understood that
the two great Railway systems in
that state will do everything in
their power to give the electoral
vote of their state to Mckinley.
But if a joint electoral ticket can
be arranged there, the state Is safe.
THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
In answer to telegram receiv-
ed from the Evening Journal of
Atlanta, to-day, Chairman Butler
sent the following dispatch to that
paper, which gives the view of
headquarters here concerning the
Georgia election. 1t is as follows:
The Evening Journal, Atlanta,
Georgia.
1t is almost certain that major
ity of the white votes of Georgia
was cast for the Peoples party
State ticket. This is a great gain
over the party's last vote, and is
due to the personal popularity Of
Tom Watson in his own state, and
to the desire of the people to re-
buke the management of the Dem
ocratic party in the state affairs of
Georgia. Evidently the demo-
cratic party is indebted to the ne
gro vote for whatever kind of vic
tory they have won.
The outlook for Bryan and free
silver is much better than it was
ten days ago. The reaction
against the schemes and methods
of the Republican party has al
ready set in and will grow in force
until the day of election. This
proves the impotency of a Doodle
campaign when the people are
aroused on great and vital issue. |
The present indications show two
hundred and thirty-two electoral
votes reasonably certain for Bryan,

Special To The POpuIist.
Washington, d. c. Oct. 10th, '96.

Washington, d. C.. Oct. 10th, '96.
During the last week joint
electoral ticket has been arranged
in West Virginia, by which the
Populists get the two Electors-at-
large, and the Democrats the four
District electors. This arrange
ment makes West Virginia certain,
while before the Mckinley people
were claiming the State. So far
Joint electoral tickets have been
made in twenty-eight states, in
nearly everyone of which the Peo-
ple's party has secured a larger
proportion of the electoral vote
than than the strength of the res
poctive parties would seem to JUS
tify.
The Republicans are greatly
chagrined over the arrangement
recently made in Indiana and West
Virginia. Through their emissa-
ries they did every thing in their
power to prevent joint electoral
tickets from being made in these
two states; and now have these
same emissaries at work in these
two.states, as well as in nearly
every other state, trying to breed
dissensions and get as many demo-
Gratis and populists as possible to
rebel against these joint electoral
tickets, under one pretext or an
other. In fact, joint electoral
tickets have been arranged in a
sufficient number of states to make
the defeat of Mckinley and the
gold standard certain. Mark Han
ma realizes that his only hope now
is to try to prevent the people
from supporting these joint cleo
toral tickets. The patriotism of
the voters can be depended upon,
however, to defeat this last hope
and scheme to fasten the gold stan
dard upon the nation.
HOW THE SITUATION STANDS.
The outlook has greatly improv-
ed during the last ten days. The
reaction has set in all over the
country against the republican
Doodle campaign. CThe masses of
the voters have begun to realize
that the monopolists and trusts are
putting up millions of dollars to
try to buy the election in order
that these trusts and monopolists
can fatten upon the masses OF the
people for another four years.
Information received at headquar-
ters of the Peoples party and of
the Democratic party, so far, indi-
cate that the following states are
almost absolutely safe, with the
prospects Frightening each day.

IN THE ISLAND REPUBLIC
The Cruiser Baltimore Weathers Two
Tremendous Storms
The Lottery Co1spirators Committed for Trial
Without Baii-No Word From the
Kissing Steamer Miowera

HONOLULU, Dec. 26.-lPer steamer Res
ina, via Astoria, Ore, Jan. 8. The United
States steamship Baltimore arrived on the
23d, twenty-one days from Yokohama.
Tho cruiser left Yokohama on the Sd,
and when six days out struck one of the
most terrific gales ever encountered at sea
Although the warship labored hard and
was tossed like cork on the waves, rolling
mountain high, she managed to pass
through the storm with but little damage.
Another, and ie anything, harder blow
was encountered, which Sept up for six
days. The ship behaved we'll under the
steady blow, but at times it seemed almost
impossible to weather the storm. The
Baltimore presented somewhat disman-
tied appearance, with her boats smashed,
rigging torn and other evidences OF having
passed through critical siege.
On the way over q boatswain named
Jessen was washed overheard by a series
OF waves that swept the decks continuously
during the first gale through which the
Baltimore passed. The Gurs had to be re-
moved from the turlets and the cannon,
forward and deck machinery, placed below.
During the second blow j. Cooper, car
penter of the ship, WAS thrown about lhe
deck and had his skull frac ured. Several
others were more or less injured, but none
seriously.
1t was necessary to keep the matches
close for ten days, during which time the
boats were dashed from their positions and
though badly smashed, were not swept
away, owing to the almost herculean efforts
of the crew.
On the arrival of the vessel Carpenter
Cooper was taken 10 the hospital, where he
died the same day.

son, from Victoria, was captured on the

European People Fail to Understand the United
States Position in the venezueIa
Boundary Hatter

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--Senator Wolcott
of Colorado, who recently returned from
Europe. gave his views today on the eilver
and foreign affairs discussion. He said:
IAN International committee of the
European bmetallic leagues, including
Mr.. Allard, Belgian delegate to the Brus-
sels conference, and the leading bimetal-
lists from England, Austria, Germany and
France, held an important conference re-
Gently in Paris, and had several inter-
views with it's members. We have little
idea in this country of the unselfish and
important efforts throughout England and
the continent in favor of the recognition of
silver. There is hardly an intelligent land
owner in Europe who is not bimetal-
list. There we're two important results
of the meeting at Paris: A plan
for an identical resolution of the inn
portance of International legislation
to be introduced in the English parlia-
ment, the French assembly and the Ger
man reichstag was agreed upon; another
important result was The establishment of
cordial and closer relations between the
bmetalist associations of the different
countries of Europe, notably betweel,
accorded the committee by the president
of the French republic was, from foreign
point of view, important and significant.
The statesmen of France and the manager
of the Bank of France are bimetallists and
public opinion favors bimetallism. Paris
newspapers, however, with one or two ex-
ceptions, controlled by private monied in
terests, are gold monometallists.
"While bimetallists abroad are actively
at work. it must nevertheless be admitted
that the prospect of any action is not
favorable. In Germany. where there has
Ill
aroused by the possibility of action by the
reichstag, is expending much effort in
favor of the single gold standard and its
influence is naturally widely telt. Who
ever invites this country to await European
agreement before opening up our mints to
silver offers no hope of definite relief.
LAS to the Venezuelan manifesto, every
country in Europe, republican France in
cluded, viewed the presidents message and
Mr.. Olney's letter to Lord Salisbury, pub
lished in full in the London Times, with
amazement. The truculent threats of the
administration were not taken seriously
except in England, but were viewed a.
campaign politics. 1t would be difficult to
convince them that this country was anx-
ious to intervene in Central American
boundary dispute to the extent of going to
war with a nation of our own civilization,
blood, language and religion, in behalf of
no contiguous American states, whose
republics are usually military despotisms
with an average duration of few months
concerning Equestions which can never
vitality affect our own integrity or in
dependeuce.

THE C0UNTRY'S DEFENSE

Demands the Passage OF Senator Squ!re's Edu-
ca.iOnaI Measure
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Generai Francis
A. Walker, president of thu Massachusetts
institute of technology, has written very
earnest letter in support of Senator Squire IS
naval engineer and educational measure.
he declares that any one must be inn
pressed with the fact that the Squire bill
concerns the defense of the country.
he maintains that the condition of the
corps of naval engineers, by reason of hav-
ing an insufficient number of officers, is
most painful aud distressing and affects
the honor of the nation. He therefore ap-
peals to The congress of the United States
10 give immediate consideration to the re-
organization of the corps of naval EN-
eineers.
As to the qualification of the scientific
ard technical schools of our land to train
officers for the engineer corps, General
Walker has very positive views. He be-
lieves when such institutions, as he has the
honor of directing, are brought into
friendly rivalry with the work of the naval
academy, it will be shown that the young
men from these colleges can be developed
to become highly trained and scientific
naval engineers.

SOLE RECEIVER APPOINTED
Andrew F. BurIeigh Now Directs North

The Change Is nade In the Interest Of Har-
nonious Management Passenger Asso-
citation Troubles Unsettled

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 9.-Judge Gilbert
of Portland, in the United States district
court today appointed Andrew +. Burleigh
Pacific road. The court convened shortly
after 1O:3O, and Attorney James w. Ash
ton, representing Mr.. Burleigh, asked that
a more harmonious arrangement be made
in the Northern Pacific receiv-
ership by appointing a sole receiver. He
was entirely willing to leave the matter to
the discretion of the court. Attorney W.
+. Sanders, representing the company was
asked if he had ANYTHING to say. He re-
piled in the negative. ". E. Cullen ad-
dressed the ', court IN hehalf OF
they had conducted the road, and
requested that compensation be fixed
for past duties. AS regards the new re-
ceivers, he left the matter entirely in The
hands of the court Attorney Clayburg,
representing the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, said be was disposed to let the
court act without any suggestion from him.
Judge Gilbert then briefly stated the
matter before the court and said a change
was necessary, not for any personal rea-
sons concerning The present receivers, but
for a more harmonious management of the
road. He said no imputations had been
ers and praised them highly. He did not
coincide with Judge Knowles concerning
the managing of the road, and therefors
set aside the order appointing Messrs.
Bonner and Mills, and in their stead APP
pointed Andrew E. Burleigh, fixing his
bond at 100000.
THERE'S TROUBLE AHEAD
CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The meeting of the
lines of the Western Passenger associa-
ton was continued today. Considerable
feeling was expressed agninst the Denver
and Rio Grande for it's refusal TO become
member of the essociation, as its action
would leave the Union Pacific and all
other roads which have interests in Mon
tana business free to ignore their agree
ment to make all tickets from Montana
points good for continuous passage only.
J he Union Pacific agreed to the continu-
Gus passage tickets only on condition that
the Denver and Rio Grande should be-
come a member of the Wes Iern Passenger
association. AS the matter now stands,
there is an excellent chance of all sorts of
trouble among ,he Western roads on pass
enger business and the majority of the
roads of the association are inclined to lay
all the blame on the Denver and Rio
Grande.
TICKETS TO CARNIvALS
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 9.-At the regular

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Dan 9.-Tbe Journal
reviews the recent stories of attempts be-
ing made to corner the output of ives :ern
gold mines and asserts that through busi-
ness transactions of the Wells.Fargo Ex-
press company it has developed that agents
of the Rothschilds have secured contracts
with the mine owners of Cripp,s Creek,
Colo., under which most of the gold taken
from the mines there during the coming
year will go into the Golfers of the bankers.
1t is stated that n few months ago the ex-
press company experienced great falling
OF in its revenues, due to a sudden cessa-
lion of gold shipments from Denver. Pueblo
and other western cities. The company
sent General Agent Andrews here to see
whether the business could not be recov-
cred. Mr.. Andrews ascertained, il is said,
that contracts had been made between the
miners and smelters and the bankers, and
the output of many of the gold mines was
being regularly stored in he western cities.
Mr.. Andrews refuses to confirm this state
ment, but the Journal asserts that the in
formation leaked out through authentic
sources.
