BRYAN IN ILLINOIS.
He Is Converting Voters in Close Districts
His Speech at Quincy.

Mr.. Bryan Illinois tour has beef
a continuous ovation, and the Demo
cratic leaders in the Congressional
districts where he has spoken assert
that he has turned the tide in theil
favor. In several doubtful districts
where Mr.. Bryan emphasized the vita
issues the campaign he was assured
that bis eloquence had won hun.
dreds, if not thousands, of hesitating
voters, and that the result would be
the election of Democrats to Congress
from those districts. And the votes
thus won were for the whole ticket.
All the members of the Bryan party
were asleep when their train arrived
at Quincy at 6 a. m. Tuesday morning,
but they were not, however, permitted
to continue their slumbers long, owing
to the calls of the crowd for Bryan.
He was driven to Washington Park,
where, Notwithstanding the early
hour, there was vast throng of people
waiting. many of whom had been
standing in the chilly air since day.
light.
Mr.. Bryan spoke on the general is
sues OF the campaign, saying that SO

the day. indicated that the people were
interested in themselves rather than In
him. In this connection, be said: 'As
l pass along the street, and as l look
into the faces of some of the careworn
women, who never get a chance to take
a summer vacation at some pleasant
watering place, wonder how the
husbands and sons OF those women can
find it in their hearts to support the
policies which are today smassing great
wealth in the hands of a few people,
with rapidity never known before in
the history of this world.
Il wonder how it is that men who
are not interested in getting their
hands into other people s pockets, but
merely in keepin5 other peoples hands

Trend Toward Bryan.

The campaign for the Presidency,
says the Boston Post, now enters upon
it's last month. Three weeks from next
Tuesday the vote will be cast and the
choice made. Into these concluding
days will be crowded whatever of effort
the campaign committees can put forth
for their respective candidates. The
problem before the Mckinley mana
gers is to check and turn in some way,
if possible, the strong popular tide that
is setting toward Bryan. This prob
ably is impossible; such movement of
public sentiment as we now see. once
started, is irresistible. In default of
success on this line, the effort will be
made to swing over States which may
appear to be ''pivotal. and there are
enough in the doubtful column to
render the result problematical at this
moment. The feature of the situation
which inspires Democratic confidence
is the unquestioned trend of public
sentiment toward Bryan. This is so
apparent that it cannot be ignored.

VERY SENSIBLE.

Col. Bryan's book just published has
brought him $50, 600, which was invested
by his publishers in government bonds
in the name of Mrs. Bryan. OF course
would not sound nice to read of Bryan
investing in the corrupting bonds.
Bryan is a money getter all right. An
exchange remarks:
Mrs Bryan is to be congratulated
upon the investment of this sum so
wisely invested. By reason of the tri-
umph of the republican party and the
defeat of her distinguished husband,
these bonds win never be repudiated in
whole or in part, and in a few weeks
from now congress will have. taken
measures which will insure to an ALSO
lutte certainty that they will be paid,
principal and interest, in standard gold
coin of stfe United States. Perhaps
after having enjoyed the results of this
income for awhile, both Bryan and his
wife will conclude that after all bond
holders are fairly good people. It may
also occur to them that it is possible for
government bonds to be in the possession
of somebody besides plntocrats and ma
tional bank officials"
