A PRIVATE letter to Chairman Jones
from John G. Maher, of the Nebraska
state central committee, says:
'Bryan will carry Nebraska by at
least 5000. | am told that CORE
spondents for eastern papers send out
reports to the effect that he will lose the
state, but the fact of the matter is that
those who are well informed on the sit
uation in the Republican party contiden-
tally predict the loss of the state. The
silver sentiment is growing stronger
every day"
Chairman Jones has also received en-
couraging reports from Kentucky. The
situation there was for time somewhat
complicated by difficulty in effecting a
fusion between the Democrats and Pop
ulists. This, however, ihas been sue
cessfully accomplished, and no doubts
ire entertained that Kentucky will rol
mp an increased majority for the Demo
cratic ticket
The demand for silver literature is in.
creasing at rate that is pulling the
national committee to meet. Last week
alone 3 500, 900 copies of campaign doc
uments have been sent out. and 5 ,OOO,-
900 would not have been enough tc

MAJOR JOHN BRYNE, president of the
Democratic Honest Money League, of
New York city, returned home a few
days ago from a trip of several days
through the state of New York, and re-
ported at headquarters as follows:
Both Central, Western and Northern
New York are rotten on silver, and un-
less something is done we will lose the
state. Bryan had wildly enthusiastic
meetings and has left an ugly trail be-
hind him.
81 am alarmed, because if the esti
mates on the other critical states are as
erroneous as those on New York there is
no hope for the country To-day an
election would give this state to BRYAN
by 100,0 majority.
Tho truth is the campaign is going
by defanlt; there is too much confidence
and not enough work.

Lynching.

Homestead, Pa, September L
Prompt action by the police authorities
yesterday prevented probable lynchine
here. Early in the morning four ne
groes broke into the residence of Will
lam Marsh, prominent picture dealer,
for the purpose of robbery and probably
a more heinOus crime. They entered
the sleeping apartment of Mr.. Marsh s
three daughters, and upon discovery one
tried to strangle Miss Annie Marsh.
The father came to the rescue and the
negroes fled. One of them, Isaac Mills,
jumped from the second story window
and was so badly hurt that he will proba-
bly, die. The others were arrested and a
crowd of about 800 planned to lynch
them, but the officials smuggled them
out of town and lodged them safely in

their prosperity depends upon the farm

them. This is more sensible view of
the situation than is generally taken of
1t by the eastern bank officials.
