REASONS WHY THIS REPUB-
LICAN WILL VOTE DEMO
CRATIC TICET.
Washin gton, Oct. %.

George W. Wilcox, of this city, ha'
received a letter from P. E. Wall, {
wooden manufacturer at Hampden
Mass, in which he announces that
though lifelong Republican, he will
&C the coming election vote against
Hanna and Mckinley Mr.. Wall, in
part, says;
II believe there has never been in
the history of Cur country political
contest involving such momentous
consequences as are to be settled by
the American people in November. Il
is not O question of the respective
qualification of Mckinley or Bryan for
the Presidency-through the incapac-
ity of either the country would suffer
only four years. 1t is not question
of free silver or high or low tariff;
these questions are virtually settled
for the coming four years. The matter
to be settled transcends all three-in
fact, all other matters are Of minor
importance compared to it.
"The question which awaits the de-
cision of the American people is, shall
this government continue to be re-
public, guided by the teachings and
advice of its founders ami their sue
cessors, strictly adhering to its funda-
mental law, or shall it ignore the
teachings and advice OF the fathers
and evade or disregard its fundamental
laws9
"The wise counsels of Lincoln and
the other great men of our country are
now disregarded; their principles are
no longer our guide, Ths Almighty
Dollar is now in the saddle. Trade
profits, conquest and not patriotism are
the watchwords; ignore the constitution
as in Porto Rico; disregard the Decla-
ration of Independence and the Con-
stitution as in the Philippines. What
do we care for the rights of the weak ?
Why should we have any regard for
their aspirations for freedom Z? The
Philippines are but the stepping stone
10 China. and then the fabulous wealth
of the Orient is at our feet
"The American people will have IN
the coming election the first real op-
portunity of expressing their approval
or disappreval Of this departure from
their old landmark

REPUBLICANS IN Il PhNIC.

The magnificent reception given
Bryan in New York has thrown the
Hannaites into q panic. They are te-
sorting to desperate means to recover
from the effects of it, Republican
committees at once submitted revised
estimates of the vote of the State in
which they claim increased majorlti- S
for Mckinley. Even all honest AID
fair Republican papers admit that the
demonstration IN honor Of Bryan was
all that could be asked, and the great
est political demonstration that city, 'r
the country had ever witnessed, yet
after it is over the Republicans increa sc
tie estimate of Their majority in the
State. This is, of itself, proof conclu
sive that their revised estimates are
nothing but bluff. The gamblers. who
from the beginning have been backed
BY the Republican committee, began to
increase their bluff in the way of offer.
ing increased odds OIL Mckinley. Every
sensible man knows that there is
nothing in the biggest demonstration
the country has ever seen against Nc
Klnley, to justify increased odds in his
favor in the betting. This is aleo pure
bluff. Democrats cannot get money to
defray the legitimate expenses Of their
campaign, much less TO bet. Besides
we do not hope to win this election by
betting, but by hard work and the
honest sentiment of the people.

DOUBTFUL STATES.

Many States claimed by the Demo
Gratis are, of course, not included in
this estimate, because they more prop
erly come under the head of doubtful
States. Illinois, for instance, which
will cast "a votes in the electoral COL
lege, is believed to be Democratic
State. The candidate of the party for
Governor in that State is German
American, who has strong hold upon
thai element in the State, besides the
support which he will receive from the
business interests. The reports from
Illinois ale quite encouraging to the
Democrats. Then, there is Connec ticut,
witt its 6 vctes, This was formerly a
Democratic State, and it is believed
that it will once more swing itself into
the Democratic column, South Dakota,
with its 4 votes, is reported to he safely
Democratic, although the Republican
spellblnders are exercising every effort
to move it out of line. 1t Is believed
by not few that Wyoming, with its 3
votes, will g. Democratic.
The result OF this analysis Of the
political situation should strike the
most partisan reader as showing that
the election will not be one-sided. aud
that there is nothing to justify the ex-
tiavagant claims of he Republicans Of
an assured Mckinley victory.
