upon whose Chicago machine the demo-
cratic national committee must rely II
even so much a. q feeble effort 10 made
to carry the state.
Z In New York city there ID Croker,
whose loyal support of Bryan is no E
longer questioned. but in the state at
large there Is Hill, whose loyalty 10 q
matter OF doubt.
In Ohio, where twenty three electoral
votes are to be won or lost, John r. Nc
Lean has an spparent case of sulks.
Does Carter Harrison want Bryan to
win? Democratic opinion is divided.
The Chicago machine complains that It
has no money. There are democrats
whose name is legion who are openly
talking that the Garter Harrison ma
chine does not Want to raise any
money. Harrison Is watched. HIS
friends denounce the intimatioas OF
disloyalty as ISLANDERS emanat ting from
his enemies. but for all this the nation-
| al leaders are uneasy. At the same
| time they are powerless. Bryan and
Bryan,s friends have made much OF
Altgeld. They have never taken Harri-
son into their csnfidence and ne has
never sat in the inner circles. Demo-
cratic national leaders declare that
4 Harrison Is in earnest because ne cam
1 not afford to betray Bryan. II ne DID.
A they declare, Bryan's friends would
4 rend his machine In the spring. But u
lis Harrison who holds the whip hand
i now. and the natioEal committee must
4 sit idly down and wait upon his pleas
ure. The Bryan men say Harrison ana
4 his city hall machine could give Bryan.
+ lin this city majority proportionateiy
as large as Croker can give IN Greater
New York. If he doesn't do It the
county democrats can never be con-
yinced that he sought to have Alsshuier
elected governor.
John r, Mclean gave the democratic
llnational committee $4,000 and started
for Europe. He has not been heard from
: during the Ohio campaign. Even the
& chairman Of the Ohio state committee
: has only been actively engaged for q
\ month past. There come no reports
from Ohio which would indicate Una.
