The Republican view is quite different.
They prophesy Mckinley's reelection on
the following grounds:
l. McKinley's successful administra-
ton Of civil and military affairs.
2. The prosperity that has come from
the Dingley tariff and the gold standard.
3. Gold Democrats will not support
Bryan and the Democratic party cannot
be made to unite on any one.
The study Of election figures of 1897
and 1898 is interesting at this time. No
one will claim that they necessarily fore
tell the result in 1900, but they do give
pretty correct idea of what the Demo
Gratis must overcome in order to win. The
two diagrams given herewith show the
results Of the elections In 1896 and 1898,
the Republican States being shaded. 1t
will be noted that Mckinley carried a
compact body of States covering the
northeast section of the country and Ore
gon and California in addition. These
States represented a total of 2iI electoral
votes, Bryan capturing one in California
and one in Kentucky. The vote for the
two leading candidates was:

Go HE active work Of the presidential
campaign Of 1900 began recently in
& Chicago, where the Democratic ma
tionaI committee met and indorsed the
Chicago platform of 1896 and Mr.. Bry-
an, who was present. Mr.. Bryan at pres
ent has control Of the machinery of the
party, and there seems little doubt of his
denomination. Some of the leading gold
Democrats Of 1896 are announcing their
opposition to the platform and candidate
once more, but the exact amount Of oppo-
sition within the party cannot be deter
mined for some time.
Mr.. Bryan's friends lay claim to sue
cess on the following grounds:
1. Most gold Democrats will vote for
Bryan either because they do not like
the treatment they have received from
Republicans or because they are opposed
to imperialism.
2. Many former Republicans will vote
for Bryan because they a.e opposed to
trusts and imperialism and because they
think free silver would help the situation
3. A reaction against an administration
always sets in, and in normal times it Is
virtually impossible to re-elect any Pres
ident.

NATURES WAR PAINT,
Dark Backs and Light Breasts Make
Birds Almost Invis bic.

Passing through the Natural His
tory Museum a day or two ago, my
eye was arrested by case which APP
parently contained gray. duck-like
bird facing its own ghost. The mo
passage" barrier precluded closer in
spection. and for five minutes | stood
staring at the case. unable to make out
what that wraith-like, almost invisible
bird-form might be.
l had given it up, when the descrip-
tive tablet. which had been pushed
aside, came to my assistance. The ex-
hibit is designed by clever American
naturalist to show why Nature has
colored most wild beasts and birds
dark above and light below.
The visible bird was model clad in
flannel of dingy gray. and against n
background of similar hue it showed
up distinctly, thanks to the light on
its back and its own shade.
Its ghost-like companion, clad in the
same way, owed its invisibillty to the
application OF little dark point on
Its back and little white paint un-
derneath after the fashion affected by
scores of birds.
1t seems incredible that such paint
ing could make the difference, but so
it Is.

had its attention called to the fact that
1t Is possible to collect the malls by
means of horscless carriages. Expert
ments SO far seem to demonstrate the
practlcabilty of the Idea In Buffalo
y. Y, the use OF such cars has been
successful. but 1t should be borne in
mind that Buffalo Is city Of asphalt
streets and lack of grades. Chicago
postal authorities do not believe that
they will prove successful In the outly-
ing districts of Chicago, although
swlfter service is a thing much to be
desired.
SO long as the project Is wholly in
the experimental stage no special type
of mail car to be operated automatic
ally can be fixed upon as the style Of
greatest utility. But in the cases
where cars have been used a general
type has been used. Capacity for the
storage of bundles of letters Is pre-
requisite. The express wagons used
have great storage capacity. They are
electric cars with storage batteries as
motors. In the mail cars the same gen.
eral plan has so far been carried out.

The Fear of Fear,

Some one says the only thing to fear
Is fear, and that's about right That
doesn't mean that one is to go about in
a state of cheerful id ocy, caressing ev-
cry buzz saw he comes across in the
absurd idea that nothing can do him
harm. That would be invoking the fool
killer, who does sometimes catch up
with such people. 1t means the practi-
cal application Of the idea that there
are two things one need not worry
about-what he can help and what he
cannot help. If thing can be helped
It's help and not worry that it needs
and If it cannot he helped. it is high
time that the incident be closed" as
the diplomats say.-Chicago Drovers

others give the average. McKinley's to-
tai plurality was little more than his plu'
ralities in New York and Pennsylvania
combined.
There were few State elections in 1897,
and in none Of them were the changes
important except that New York and
Kentucky went Democratic.
In 1898 there were State elections In
all but few of the States and in all
the congressional districts. The diagram
above shows which States were carried
by each party. those by Republicans be.
ing shaded. 1t will be noted that the
Democrats gained over 1896 only two
States-Kentucky and Minnesota-and
the latter only on the governorship, where
fusion elected popular Scandinavian
by 10000 plurality, though the Republi-
cans carried every congressional district
by pluralities aggregating over $1,000.
On the other hand. the Republicans,
gained Washington. Wyoming. Kansas
and South Dakota, which have twenty
one electoral votes, the same as Ken
lucky and Minnesota. The total vote in
1895 in the various States foots up as
follows: Republican, 5,499,06 Demo.
cratic, 5,427, 224.

sented by these States are: Republican.

The wagons are much like those now
in use. They have covered seat,
where the operator can sit and manage
the machine. They lie low on sturdy
trucks of iron, but light in construc-
ton. They have the covered body with
a door In the rear, which can be locked
after the collector has deposited the
contents of a mail box. They have
thirty-inch Wheels with pneumatic
tires and are otherwise the same wag-

What Mr.. Bryan must have to win Is
forty more electoral votes than his
party carried last fall. In all probability
he must have fifty-eight votes, for Min

sure Democratic State. AS to where
these votes would come from in case Of
Mr.. Bryan's election. those interested in
the subject may figure out for them
