lie had made any converts IN tho throngs
that crowded to see him Flo may have
strengthened the wavering si!verites in
their faith, but he made 10 inroads upon
the hosts Of Republicans and sound money
men.
Perhaps the effect of his trip through
this section of the country may best be de-
scribed In the words of Governor. elect
Powers of Maine, who was asked what
was the effect of Bryan's recent trip in
Maine. He replied
at was absolutely without effect MS far
as any conversions of Republicans are CON
cerned. do not think he made solitary
convert in Maine. The people of that state
have already expressed their opinion of
Bryanism: but, like all other people, they
are curious md this is the motive that led
them to attend tine meetings Bryan ad-
dressed The mere fact that the people in
. stRta which had voted against Organism
by the largest vote ever recorded in Maine
against any public policy tiocked by thou
SANDS to see Bryan shows that it was SIM

erence to the net results of Bryau's trip
through New York, Now Jersey and other
states in the east In fact in some places,
notably in New Jersey, his violent attacks
upon the established order of things, and
his demagoyical attempt to array the
masses against the classes" lost for him
many votes which might otherwise have
been cast for the Popocrat ticket
While it Is conceded that the bottom has
dropped out of the Bryan boom in the east,
there has heen no relaxation in the efforts
of the Republican national committee to
make the victory so overwhelming that the
romans of the Popocrat party will hardly
be worth intcrment.
The closing If the campaign here will
be made memorable by two of the most
striking political monstrations ever wit
messed in this or any other city. On Oct.
"a the harbor of New York will be the
scene of a marine pageant in honor of Nc
Kinley, Hobart and sound money which
promises to be the most brilliant marine
spectacle that the people of this city have
seen since the famous naval parade before
the Worlds fair. The demonstration will
take the form of a huge marine parade
thrn,,rb tho xrutors ~ tho b,,- mud III,
Enst and Hudson rivers in which hun
dreds of vessels, barDes, TUGS and floats
will take part The demonstration will
take place at night so as to allow album
dnut opportunitics for illumination and
pyrotechnic display, in which at least $40
600 will he suent for fireworks alone, This
magnificent nautical spectnclci is the tribute
which the shining and marine interests of
the METROPOLIS will uuy to the cause of
sound money.
