Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-08-26

TEEN of the radical free-silverites in every
part of the country. and his support Of
the Bryan movement will depend upon
the position taken by Mr.. Bryan upon this
one question. Governor Altgeld is OPP
posed to trusts and he is not in favor Of
expansion but he believes that the finan-
cial question is the mother of the whole
brood of evils ard that when this is set
tied the other great questions can easily
be met. If NJ. Bryan should deviate
from his former position, however, he
would certainly lose the support Of Mr..
Altgeld who has repeatedly asserted, I'VE
might as we'll drop the clause altogether
as to change the ratio from. the heaven
born 1S to l."
These are but a few of the political
leaders Of ~certaiiA sections of the country,
but they are of sufficient Importance to
entitle them to attention and there is no
doubt that their opinions will be consid-
cred by those who have the making or the
breaking of the democratic party in their
hands. The present opinion here seems
to be that the free silver plank will be re-
tanned, and that to it there will be added
planks embodyirg antitrust and anti
imperiallstlc sentiments. In certain parts
of the country the telling on the expansion
question: is very strong and there is also
a growing sentiment against the in
creasing development Of trusts and it is
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-08-26

upon this fact that the silver men base
their hopes that the gold democrats will
vote with the party because they are so
much opposed to these existing conditions.
The republicans, on the other hand, are
just as confident that the democratic
leaders are working upon a wrong theory.
They believe that the split in the party
is too wide to be bridged in any such
manner and that there is such a strong
expansion sentiment among the demo-
Gratis, especially in the eastern states,
that an anti-imperialism plank will SIM
ply tend to create another division. In adj
dition to this the republicans bank upon
the fact that the civil and military af-
fairs of the country nave been admins
tered under Mckinley and that, in ac-
cordance with their promises, prosperity
has come under the Dingley tariff and the
gold standard.
While there is l.ttle reason to believe
that the election Figures of 1896 will give
any accurate. indication of the results to
be expected in 1900, they are stillof inter-
est as indicating, to a certain degree what
Mr.. Bryan will have to overcome if he is
to carry his standard to victory. =
In 1896 the republican vote was Z, 104,779
as against 6,50o .925, cast for Bryan. In
electoral votes this represented 21l for the
republicans as against 116. At this time
Mokinley's strength was limited almost
entirely to the northeast section OF the
country, Oregon and California being
practically the only exceptions. -
In 1898, however. the republican
strength was extended, that party hav-

ing carried Kansas, South Dakota, Wy
oming and Washington, and atthat slime
the electoral vote. If one had been taken
would have stood as 272 for the IrepAbli-
cans as against 175 for the demdcratsilthe
democratic victories IN ~MineneOtasand
Kentucky offsetting the increase IN the
republican vote in the west. 1t is DOUBT
full, however, if the members of the pa
tional committee will look Minnesota. And
kentucky as democratic ~statesst Mime
sofa will probably vote repubNcanSand
unless peace is restored in KentucHl it
too viii be lost. At the very bert there-
fore, the democratic candidoths wiki be
obliged to find, forty-nine more votes in
the electoral college and it is more than
probable that this number wall be in
creased to forty-eight.
Without wishing to express any optnion
either for against either party I haveex-
planned the matter just as it was placed
before the naional committee and the
reader may follow the same curse that
was pursued by the members of that body
by taking a table showing h electoral
vote of each state and, with a map Of the
country before him, figure out any result

are living ones. Death has lost it's ter
rors, and it is often regarded as the last
and best friend.
One of the main causes of this remark
able change in sentiment is the improve
ment in modern sanitation and hygiene,
and the increased average duration of
life. In the Middle Ages nothing was SO
uncertain as life. Duels and private
wars, feuds and bandits, plaques and
pestilences, made men uncertain of their
lives from hou to hour. When mems
position in life depended upon the
strength of their right arm they ceased
to be effective when they became "stale'
as athletes. hus old g began for men
early in the %forties. The average age was
younger, yet death came more frequently,
so h his visits We're the more and more
unwelcome. When any day might be ones
last it was naturalist be always thinking
what came after death. Nowadays death
comes later, with more warnings of his
approach, and takes US less by surprise.
