Bryan on the Republican Plat
form.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June %
Col. w. j. Bryan, en- route to
Chicago and Lincoln for his va.
cation, said regarding the Re,
publican platform adopted at
Philadelphia;
1.-The Philadelphia platform
is the best evidence thus far
given of the deception attempted
by the Republican party. Taken
in connection with the speeches
made at the convention, it shows
that the Republican party's plat.
form of 1896 was deliberate
fraud us far as the promise of in,
ternational bimetaliSm were
concerned; that the party's at
titude on the trust question is in.
sincere, and that the party is not
willing to state its attitude on he
Philippine question and to invite
the confidence of the people.
Nothing was more manifest in
the convention than the military
spirit, and yet the convention
did not dare indorse the demand
of the President in 1898, for a
standing army of 10000 men,"
Colonel Bryan declared that
the reports Of serious differences
between himself and chairman
Jones were absolutely false.

Vermont chooses in the same
month, but week earlier than
Maine, a governor, lieutenant
governor, secretary Of State and
treasurer for the like term of two
Years. and also two representa-
tiveS in Congress.
1t is noticeable that all the
doubtful and uncertain States
have by degrees fallen out of the
list of those which hold prelimi
nary elections, and this list now
includes only such strong Demo
cratic States as Alabama, Kansas
and Georgia, and such strong Re
publican States as Maine, Yer
mont and Rhode Island. BY this
means the indirect influence of
these preliminary elections has
been very much reduced and the
influence of the other doubtful
States correspondence enhanced.
In the year of the last PreSi-
dental election-1S96-the State
elections were fewer in number
than this year. Kentucky had no
State election in 1896: neither did
Utah. This years election for
members Of the House of Repre-
SentativeS will be the last held
under the division of districts
now existing. The census will be
completed this year and the next
succeeding Congress will be
chosen on the basis of the appor,
tionment following the 1900 cen
sus and there will be a reappor-
tionment of Presidential electors
at the same time.

Relub.

Here are the al electoral
votes which the Republicans
themselves believe the Democrats
have a chance of winning. Four
years ago Bryan got one of the
nine electoral votes of California,
and one of the Ii of Kentucky.
1t is practically certain that
Kentucky will go Democratic
this year; which will leave only
thirty five votes needed to insure
Democratic success. If the Re-
publicans lose New York they
will lose the nation.
The reverse of the situation,
however, is that the loss of New
York to the Democrats might not
affect a Democratic victory.
Needing only 4S votes, with the
176 contributed by States that
are certain to stand by him this
year, Bryan can win if he can
add to them Kentucky, Califor-
mia, Maryland, Minnesota and
Indiana. Or he can win by car.
rying West Virginia, Delaware,
! Michigan, Illinois and Maryland.
California can be safely de.
pended upon, it is believed, to GO
Democratic. 1t cast all but one
of its electoral votes for Hancock
i'll 1880 and for Cleveland in 1892.
In the last national fight it cast
2,OO6 votes for Palmer, the gold
Democratic candidate. This vote
was only 79l less than McKin.
ley's plurality.
Kentucky gave Palmer 5,1O4
4,733 more than McKinley's plu
rality.
For the first time Maryland il
1896 gave her electoral vote to q
Republican candidate for the
Presidency.
Counting the States in the
Democratic column Bryan vii
need only twenty more electora
votes to win.
Indiana is a pivotal State. Il
has gone alternately Democratic
and Republican. 1t is due to &c
Democratic this year. This Stat,
has fifteen electoral votes, so thai
if Bryan wins it and gets Cali
fornia, Kentucky and West Vir
| ginia he will be the next Presi
dent.

states:
"There are no cases of small
pox in this city, nor have there
been any, or any liability of there
being any; in fact there have
been none for the past thirty (3O)

What possibly prompted the
report was that there were several

WHEAT CROP A FAILURE
AN EXPERT CALLS 1T
THE WORST EVER
KNOWN.
A Shortage Reported in Min
nesota and the two Dako.
tas of S125, 100000
Bushels.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 22-The
Times Herald tomorrow will pub
lish a crop report prepared by
Snow, the crop expert, who has
Just completed a two weeks trip
through the States of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota. He
declares the situation a national
calamity and claims the wheat
failure the worst ever known.
He estimates the Dakotas as
promising only 10000, 600 bushels
each, and Minnesota, 80, 600, 900,
a total Of $4,000, 600, against
200, 100000 last year and 225, 200,
600 in 1898.
AN EVENT OF IMPORTANCE.
NEW YORK, June OR. G.
Dunn & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade tomorrow will say: "The
damage to the wheat crop in the
northwest is the event of chief i'm.
pOrtance. How extensive the
the loss may prove, in view of
widely conflicting accounts, can
only be judged from the specu.
lative markets, in which informa-
ton gathered at the West has
caused a remarkable advance
at Chicago 10 cents in 10 days
and the price here has advanced
IL cents per bushel, though for
the September option only nine
cents.
"The belief is that so large
a part of the spring wheat has
been killed as to reduce a yield
expected to be the largest on
record to considerably less than
the world has required during
the crop year now ending.
MAY BE A SURPRISING DEMAND.
"Until within the past three
years it would have been reason
ed that any material advance in
price would neutralize the for
eign conditions which had caused
exports of about 100000, 900
bushels of wheat flour included)
in the closing year, after 222, 1000
600 in the previous year and 217-
600, 600 bushels in the year 1898,
besides exports Of $4,000, 900
bushels of corn in the closing
year, against 177,OOO,0OO last
year and 212,OOO,OOO in the !,
previous year. But the facts
seems to indicate a more extern
sive and lasting increase of for
eign demand than has been con-
sidered probable. Other sources
of heavy export have been found
disappointing.
'"The United States continues
to show enormous power of in
crease, if supported by prices
which until recent years, would
hardly have been regarded re-
markably high. If the coming
crop falls much below expecta-
tions, the demand for it may
prove surprising, even though
prices average more than has
been expected"
