cific coast in order to judge for them
selves of the sentiment in all parts Of
the country and to report the prospects
Of the party in the coming election.
The Republican committee today re-
cieved word from Mr.. Bryan's home
town, Lincoln, Neb., of a partial can
vass that had been made there The
county committee had distributed
blanks, and the returns were as accu-
rate as it was possible to secure. They
showed that there is a Republican gain
of at least 80 per cent over the last vote,
and this right in Mr.. Bryan's own city
and county.
The colored organization in this city
known as the National Republican Pro-
tective association. is doing great work.
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina has
written the following to Chairman Poe
of this association, regarding the situ-
alton in his state:
1--WE win he able to carry North Car
DINA for the Mckinley electors. and
elect our state ticket We will do this
much if no more. The Democratic
state executive committee disreputed
its party by attempting cooperation
with the Populists.''
Branch headquarters of this associa-
ton WIFI be established in Martinsburg,
w. Va; Greensboro, n. c., and Louis
vile, KY. Offers are being received
every day from leading colored men
throughout the south promising assist
ance, and suggesting plans for an eff
fective prosecution of the association 5
work.
The Democrats have been claiming
that Maryland will give majority OF
10000 for the Democratic ticket this faN.
This estimate is said to be based on a
prediction made by Senator German.
Correspondence to an evening paper
here indicates the estimates OF Demo-
cratic success are not well founded.
Among other things the writer says:
The Democratic party at present is
in an extremely chaotic condition, and
unless the sound money faction can be
induced to abandon its present inten-
ton of scratching the ticket or a cuff
GENTLY large number Of silver recruits
can be won over from the Republicans
IL is difficult to see, not only how Il
can save the state for Bryan. but how
1t can even secure the representation
in congress with the Republicans. It
had been the hope of the old line lead
ers, prior to the Chicago convention, TO
insure the nomination Of sound money
candidates in ali Of the six congress
ional districts but the headlong rush
of the silver food renders the success
OF such a scheme impossible, and they
are now compelled 10 accept the inevi-
table. Many close observers believe
that could the election be held today
Bryan would carry the state, but the
sound money forces hold that long be-

IN addition to the anticipated de-
fecGon, the Democratic organization
will have the new registration LAW TO
contend with, and the difficulty and eN-
pense Of getting out the rural vote cal
readily be appreciated. Experience
