header among the Silver Republicans i"v
years ago Now hs is chaifmah Of the
county Republican central committee ana
gue lf the most Jealous workers Ia the
state.
MANY populists. hna, VIII this year
openly support the Republican ticket Gr
openly work for the defeat Of the fusion
ticket In fact. my observations lead
me 10 believe that many Popnilsss. nearly
all the Silver Republicans and the great
majority OF Gold Democrats. viii sup
port the Republican ticket. The Repub-
lean vote viii be larger than mas been
cas-, In this state for many years and,
there beng less interest m the outcome
oY the election by the fuslou-Sts, The Re-
puOlicans Will have less acllV" oppCsi-
ton than they haEe ever had IA any M
portanE election in the state
Il also md everywhere mat al those
who att acting with the Republicans are
really bodstfuIly proud OF the Increased
stature OF Amer casfsfn cddseu by the
achievements of tho Mckinley adulinIstfa-
ton, and they are anxious 20 exhibit
their pride by the largest possible vote.
] also lind that among tue fus-on-sts
themselves there Is "a great deal Of Il
concealed pride of the same klnd, In that
they viii not stra!r ths nselves TO send
any opposition 10 Washington.
Now, the main thing that the fusion
lists have been given by their leaders as
a campaign issue Is petty fault-fnd.ng
with admin -airai.on thal has added
more population, more W Attn more ter
ritory and more customers 10 the Ameri-
can repu bic than any mo preceding Sd

where fer four years before most men
were idle There never before In the MS
