Now Play as You Will With
His Majority of Fifty
One Votes.
DOUBTS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Not Even a Divided Silver Vote
Appears Needed to Assure
Republican Victory.

With the nomination of Bryan and
Sewal the political battle that will be
ended November is practically planned
and now forecasts are reasonably in order.
Disinterested calculations show, at this
time. that the chances are all in favor Nc
Kinley's election. His defeat is without
the bounds of probability, and in the
minds of the mallory of people is without
the bounds of possibility.
The work of the Populist and Silver
National conventions at ST. Louis, be-
ginning on the 22d inst, will soon enter
into calculations of the future, but the
work, or at least the effect, of these con-
ventions is well promised in advance.
The Populists will not indorse Bryan
and Sewan. This, as the party leaders
we'll recognize, would mean suicide to the
Peoples party, which thinks that 1t has a
great mission not bounded by the silver
plank in the Democratic platform.
The D resent indications are that the Sill
yer Convention will indorse the Demo
cratic ticket. This Endorsement will not
mean so very much. The Silver Conven-
ton will not be a gathering representing a
National party, but rather one represent
ing an lnchoate movement begun before
the silver issue was outlined among the
old parties and one for which the need
and call are already largely past.
Its work will amount to recommends
ton to which comparatively few voters
will pay attention. 1t will put up nc
ticket of its own, and the attitudes and
the campaign influences of the three par
ties will exert their influences quite indie
pendently of what the nondescript gather
ing of silver men, already having their
party affiliations formed, may do.
In the South the hostility between the
Democratic and Populist parties is bitter
and deep-seated. This is but one of many
indications that the Populist party will
not merge its existence in that OF the Dem
ocratic party, rent in twain as it is and
standing as it does under a banner
snatched from mere party opportunity.
The division of the unlimited free silver
coinage vote and the vote of the discon
tented generally among the Democratic
Populist, Socialist, Prohibition and Ma
tional Reform parties seems at this houl
certain.
The vote of the conservative patriotic
clear minded people, of the business inter
ests of the people who are influenced by
the press and the brains of the Nation, O.
of the people who realize what the doc
trine of protection and what the rule o.
the Republican party means in the Ggh
of history. will support Mckinley.
In the light of these considerations con
slider the following tables showing wha
is now to be fairly considered the Repub
lican and Democratic electoral vote:
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-07-14

1867, Indiana (15), and still win by one
The Republicans could lose: New York
1861, Nebraska (S), Maine (6), and still win
by two majority.
The R. publicans could lose. Illinois
(2D. California (9), Kansas (10), Nebraska
t8). and still win by / majority.
The Republicans could lose: Illinois
(24), Indiana Q5), Kansas (1O), and still
win by majority.
The Republicans could lose: Illinois
(24, Indiana (15), Nebraska (S), Delaware
(3), and still win by 2 majority.
If the Republicans carried Kentucky
OBJ they could lose, for instance, Indiana
Isl. illinois (24), California co., Oregon
az, Washington a. Maryland (S) and
still win by majority.
These are but sample calculations, which
any one may make with certain and with
doubtful States to illustrate the mora
certainty of William McKinley's election

The Olympic Club Will Entertain Its
Members This Month.
The Olympic Club is arranging for
first-class fistic entertainment, which will
be held in the gymnasium on the evening
of the 31st inst. Matchmaker Kennedy
was busy last evening selecting talent for
the occasion.
After wedding out several applicants for
positions, be matched Van Buskirk and
Jack Davis, heavy-weights, for eight
rounds; Frank Smith and D. Moboney for
eight rounds, and Sullivan and Riley, the
feather-weights, who put up such clever
exhibition at a recent entertainment held
at the Pavilion, for eight rounds. II is
the general opinion that the most interest
ing bout OF the evening will be the Smith
and Mohoney meeting, as those boxers are
extremely clever.
Members will be charged an admission
fee of 81 and guests of members will be
taxed 81 90.

Tricks of an o1d-Time Landlord.

Fragrant memories cluster around most
OF the old-time tavern-keepers OF Maine !;
but the first landlord of ancient Ruxton
seems to have had ill-smelling talents for
swtndling. One of his tricks was to bore
holes in the bottom OF the horse cribs
where the horses of strangers were stalled,
so that while the beasts were eating their
grain portion would fall through into q
box underneath, kept there to receive it.
After being found out ne tried another
trick, worth two of that. A man came
along one day and had his horse put up
for feed. He had heard of the tricks OF
the landlord and determined 10 see that
his horse had the amount of grain that he
had paid for. So be stood by to see the
landlord come out of the grainroom with
the measure we'll heaped up, and
congratulated himself on getting a
good, liberal feed for his horse by
seeing to it himself. But while
he was waiting near by the horse
began to paw and whinny for more.
The man was surprised, and to be sure
about it he examined the crib and found
the grain all gone. There we're no leaks
in the crib, and IL puzzled him for while,
but after some investigation he found that
the oats had been heaped all so generously
on the bottom of the measure. What a
mean-spirited rogue was he who would
cheat a tired horse.-Biddeford Journal

Birmingham state herald., 1896-06-30

conference of C. A Walsh, secretary of the Iowa state central committee and delegate at large, with Grand Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor in the formers room at the Palmer house. The meeting related to the re- ported antagonism of the knights aud other labor organizations towards MT. Boies on account of his public utterances at the time of the Pullman-American Railway union strike upholding the ac- tion of President Cleveland in sending soldiers to Chicago. The Boies boomers are also said to be a bit worried because they had heard of petition which was being signed by Chicago democrats ad- dressed to the county central committee urging them to take up arms against Boies on that account for the purpose of keeping the Illinois delegation away from Iowa's candidate. Neither party to the conference would speak as to the re- suit But the Boies men said everything was all right with the labor people, and Mir Walsh said: There is absolutely no truth in these stories about trouble be- tween Mr -Boies and organized labor. They are silly and unfounded. MT. Boies has been good and consistent friend of labor, and he will have the unstinted sup port of that element"
 Ex-Mayor Hopkins, one of the gold standard leaders in Cook county, said before the national committee on ere dentials and demand the seating of their delegates in cases where contests existed. In other words, he continued, we propose to fight to the last ditch, although we have no show of winning. It is matter of principle with us, and we will have entered our protest if nothing else.

 The cases werenot concluded and went over to some future date.
