Germans for BRYAN.

The German edition of the New
York Journal has for some time pas
been printing coupon daily. which
Germans opposed to imperialism anc
militarism were asked to sign and
also to record their preference for
President and these issues alone
The result is surprising. Thousands
upon thousands of coupons have been
returned, in a majority of which the
signers have declared that, although
they voted for Mckinley in 1896
they will vote this year for Bryan,
because Of their violent opposition to
imperialism and militarism.
The great mass of the Germans in
Greater New York cherish the same
prejudice, if prejudice it can be called.
against these policies of the present
administration. In the Fatherland
they groaned under military yoke.
they were forced into a service dis.
tasteful to them and taxed heavily
for its support. Thus the average
German-American can see no good in |
Imperialism and its natural resultant |
and he will not vote for
and military establish

The Washington correspondent OF
the Nashville Baaner saws:

The Washington correspondent Of
the Nashville Banner says:
The declarations of ex- Secretary of
State Olney and ex-Postmaster Gen
eral Wilson in favor of Bryan have
created considerable CONSERVATION
among leaders of the administration
in Washington, accompanied as this
has been by indications in Vermont
that gold democrats in considerable
numbers are returning to their party.
The rumor that seems to have some
foundation, that ex-President Cleve-
land may declare for Bryan, adds to
republican anxiety. Up to the pres
ent the president and his advisers
have been living in rosy atmosphere
of confidence. The president still
continues to be confident, hut some of
his advisors are disturbed. 1t is fear
ed that Olney's and Wilson's declar-
ations will bring large number Of
gold democrats who have been on the
fence to the support OF Bryan. 1t is
said that the announcements of Olney
and Wilson were made after a con-
sultation with Mr.. Cleveland and
other members of his cabinet. This
statement increases the belief that
Cleveland may ultimately declare for
Bryan. The latter's vigorous cam
paigning is also cause for anxiety
