Iap Showing Election Results Of 1885, Republican States Shad
Republican 710779 Representing
Democratic G5O2025 Representing

The Republican view IS quite different.
They prophesy McKinley's reelection on
the following grounds:
1. McKinley's successful administra-
tion of civil and military affairs.
2. The prosperity that has come from
the Dingley tariff and the gold standard.
B. 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
a 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 1893,
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 total Of 2iI electoral
votes, Bryan capturing one in California
and one in Kentucky. The vote for the
two leading candidates was:
Mckinley ................... lO4, 779
Bryan ............... .o,0UZ, ,9ZO
being the largest vote ever cast in u
presidential election. These totals vary
slightly from some other estimates, as
some persons count the votes of the high
est electors and some the lowest, while

real thing. But the Government has
had Its attention called to the fact that
1t Is possible to collect the malls by
means of horseless carriages. Expert
ments so far seem to demonstrate the
practlcability of the idea In Buffalo
n. 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 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 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
state of cheerful id.ocy, caressing ey-
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 nm
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 1t cannot be helped, it is high
time that the incident be closed" "a
the diplomats say.-Chicago Droyers'
Journal.

these wagons is that the rear trucks
carry nearly all Of the carrying capa-
city. The gearing will be rugged
much like a four-wheeled hose reel of
light steel, with space back Of the
forward trucks for the placing Of the
battery or whatever kind Of motor Is
to be used. The vehicle back Of this
VIII hang low as the ordinary mail
wagon does, thus providing a recepta-
Gle for the collections. The machine
can be operated by one man, as Is the
case at present. He will sit in the box
seat In front, where the motor and
steering gear Will come close to the
hand. When the vehicle is stopped
for any purpose he can dismount and
take on or discharge his collections as
readily If not more so than he does
now while his nag Is browsing ON the
grass plats near the curb.
Strength and lightness are the two
essentials in the construction. Recent
experiments seem to demonstrate that
the automobile can be used on country
roads with as much success as the BIZ
cycle can.

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
thlrty-inch wheels with pneumatic
tires and are otherwise the same wag
ons now in use where bedraggled and
melancholy horse Is the drawing power

NATURES WAR PAINT,
Dark Backs and Light Breasts Make
Birds Almost Invisi ible.

Birds Almost lnviS bic.
Passing through the Natural His
tory Museum a day or two ago, my
eye was arrested by a case which ap-
parently contained a gray, duck-like
bird facing its own ghost. The mo
passage" barrier precluded closer in
spection, and for five minutes l stood
staring at the case, unable to make out
what that wraith-like, almost invisible
birdform might be.
l had given it up, when the descrip-
tive tablet, which had been pushed
aside, came to my assistance. The ex-
hiblt 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 a 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 compaQion, clad in the
same way, owed it's invisibility to the
application Of little dark point on
its back and little white paint I'M
derneath after the fashion affected by
scores of birds.
1t seems incredible that such paint
ing could make the difference, but so
it Is.

accounted FOR 10y the Bryan vote Ia Cal
ifornia.
What Mr. Bryan must have to win Is
forty-nine more electoral votes than his
party carried last fall. In all probability
he must have fifty-eight votes, for Min
nesota can scarcely be imagined as a
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
selves with the aid Of the above maps
and the following table, which gives the
electoral vote of each State:

CO HE active work of the presidential
campaign Of 1900 began recently in
- Chicago, where the Democratic ma
tional 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 are 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.
4. Bryan is better known than in 1896,
fear of a panic no longer exists and this
country is able to establish free silver on
Its own account and maintain it.
