dHl IcqueS'eu to RiNc ny HkufeS ioi the electoral vote. think w. J. Bryan will receive Nov. 6'hY, sptpy reasons,for so thinking. As to the first proposition: 1 do not regard myself any pore competen to foreteIl the result than sev Yntelligen citizen who has only read the papers easu. ally. As to the second p int, do zelaiI superior wisdom land who does not) In be ing able to give reasons why he ought to be. But these last ould fill severali. sues of your parer and column iss much as your readers could probably eI dUre.
 It is necessary for a candidate to receive PA electoral votes to be elected. Bryan in 1896 received I76. The states of Kansas, Wyoming, and Washington then voting for him are now considered doubtful. He also received vote from California and from Kentucky. Dedutting these and adding Kentucky and Maryland gives starter. Indiana is conceded by good Re- publicans authority a..d claimed by demo- era as sure for Bryan. l also give him New York these 5I votes added to the I7S would give Bryan 22o votes and elect him.
 Among my reasons for thinking New York and Indiana will vJte together in in November are these Indiana was ad- mtted Into the Union in ISl6. She has, with three exceptions, cast her vote for the winning candidate. Since 1868, and probably before, when Indiana voted for Grant and New York for Seymour, these two states have voted together for the inni candidate. They have alternated that is. one election going tor one pnrty and the next eiectipn tor the other. The enailas s;c.Sivi. ts,e v sIaestJ go demo- cratic. Many will say these things are condolences or mere oh nee; but do not believe in chance, but, rather that they are the result ol physiological laws, the workings of which we have not yet falhumed When the democratic party Is firmly united as it now is, New York is utmOCTdllC StdIc.
 The other states put in the doubtful column are Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota. New Jersey Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. think the same influences which decide indiana and New York If they do decide] to go for Byan, will influence New Jersey, Kansas, Michigan, and Illinois as likely, and in the order named, to also vote for Bryan. These States added to the 22o heretofore given him, would make his electoral vote 2o6 or about its equivalent in ioseing some of the states named and gain ing others.
 The two predominating reasons for ex- pecting these great changes in pub lie opinion are the trust question and i'm perialism. The first will have the greater influence on native American voters and the second over the votes of our adopted citizens, They better know the danger and more fear the consequences of mllitar- 1 ism.
 1 believe in the influences of those issues in controlling the general result, because have confidence in the intelligence and judgment of the people, and their verdets in the past. In I8oo Thomas Jefferson, who represented the people and the Delara- tion of Independence, was elected over John Adams, who with Hamilton repre- sented the monarchial principles of gov- ernment or the rule of the "better classes, V The contest was bitter and terrible pre- dictions of disaster were made in case of his success by the federalists. Their prophecies Of disaster by the rule Of the people were happily Lnfulfllled
 During the last session o congress of Andrew Jackson's first term as president, an act was passed removing the charter Of the U. s. bank. Jackson vetoed 1t. In spite of all the money power ot the coun- try and powerful faction ot his own party, he was rec lected in 1892. Again the people and their right and ability to rule triumphed.
 In 1896 the greatest party revolution Tn our history occurred at Chicago. Bryan was nominated. All the moneyed irstl' tutlons were arrayed against him. Ire
 people had not then become aroused tc
