Bryan's View.
LINCOLN. Neb. Nov. THE fight
~has been made and won Money and
coercion robbed us of the victory in
1896. but 1 believe they will be pow
eriess to- change the result this time
The people are very earnest and very
few can be sought. Our organization
is much better than it was i'll 1896 and
therefore there is less danger from
election frauds So far attempts at in
timidation have been rare this year.

in charge reiterated last nights state

figures would stand the final pre-
diction and they are counted conserva-

work until the votes are counted
Cornelius y. Bliss. Senator Scott
and Joseph II. Manley said today it
