The Journal adds:
Bryan will be elected without New
York-and he will carry this State, too.
Leaving this State out of the calcula-
ton he is certain of 1877 votes With
the So votes of this State, Bryan will
have 233, or more than enough to elect.
Leaving New York out, Bryan will need
only q votes to triumph. Illinois and
Delaware will do it, or Illinois and Wash
ington. Any two of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio will win for him. .t
The States that are conceded to be
doubtful have a total of III electoral
votes Out of this III Bryan is as sure
of getting the needed q as he is sure
that he is a candidate. Bryan's chances
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are better
than McKinley's. There are a dozen COM
binations that mean defeat for Mckinley,
and William j. Bryan will be the next
President of these United States.

One of the advantages the Demo-
Gratis have in the Middle West this
year is that they are in control of
most of the large cities. In appealing
for money to- be used in Chicago, the
Illinois Republican committee recog-

control of our city by the Democrats
has increased the work which must
be performed by the Republicans in

was boils and sores on his body to such
an extent that he could not rest while

weeks he had to lie with his face down,

rest it. After consulting a prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy,
which did After using it a short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little boy

his bowels were in very bad condition,
and this medicine effected a complete
cure of them.

Senator Pritchard urged that another
opportunity be given the South to
hold an honest election and adds:
..He knows better now" The Gazette
saws the Southern States will loose AZ
electoral votes in the next apportion-
ment. That is the punishment for adj
vocating and enforcing White Suprem-

the South, and he will rue the day
he casts such vote in sackcloth ana

THE ENEMY OF THE SOUTH.

Col. A. X. Lawton, of Georgia, who
recently announced he would vote for
Mckinley, doubtless now wishes he
had not committed that blunder. He
has letter in the New York Sun pro-
testing against the Suns SANDER of
Robert e. Lee. His letter is long and
shows that he has been hurt by the
Suns vicious filings. He ought to feel
hurt because he contemplates voting
with a party that has always won by
villifying Southern men, and that IN
this campaign is trying to make votes
because certain Southern States are
unwilling to remain under negro rule.
Gen. Lawton says:
Taking previous communications
of mine on the pending election as
text, you have recently urged South
ern men to join the men of the North
and abandon old traditions and affl-
iations. The greatest obstacle in the
path of any Southern man who be-
lieves that the election of Mckinley
is best for all sections, and that our
interests and those of the North are
identical is the demand which you and
a few others very few-make of
them, that they shall dishonor the
memories and blac<en the characters
of their fathers by affliating and
sympathizing- with those who attack
them as you do. Did they comply
with this demand, they would merit
the contempt of all self-respecting men
and the scorn of all posterity. Might
Sc 1of nd hn hn
result aofs the war settled the seces-
sion question for the future, but the
right of the question as it stood in
1861 cannot be settled by the ancient
and barbarous trial by combat"
1.-The Sun stands almost alone in it's
intolerance.
rs it possible that you do not de-
sire Southern men to vote the Repub-
lican ticket; that you prefer for polit-
ical reasons, that the solidity of the
South should be maintained? Are
your recent editorials written with
this abject in view?
''You are certainly making it is diff
ficult as possible for Southern man
to vote the Republican ticket
The mistake Gen. Lawton makes is
in supposing that ''the Sun stands al
most alone in it's intolerance" The
Sun voices the sentiment of the domi-
nant element of the Republican par
ty. Mckinley voted for the Force bill.
The Republican National platform de-
nounced anti-negro rule constitutional
amendments as revolutionary"
Roosevelt has been bitter in his
speeches upon the South and called all
Democrats towards at home and
skulkers abroad" How can any self
respecting Southern man vote for such
a party2 Gen. Lawton ought to follow
Gen. Wade Hampton and earnestly
advocate the election of Bryan, and
ought to return to his old-time faith
and not be party to putting the
Force.sb and other hostile legisla-
ton upon the South.

Three distinguished Democrats Of
New Aork-Perry Belmont, b. Nj.
Shepard and Bourke Cockran-wno
voaed against Bryan in 1896, are
heartily supporting him in 1900.
The issue on which they return to
Democracy is imperialism. MIR. Cock
rams letter was read to the Liberty
Congress at Indianapolis.
When Chairman Smith. in his
speech, alluded to the presence of many
who preferred TO suppor, Bryan, the
cheering was the loudest and m,ost
significant heard during that gather-
ing.
Mr.. Cocklan's letter had similar,
but intensified effect upon the Liberty
Congress. He declared that when
the Republic is in danger the only
place for the patriot is in the ranks
of it's active defenders. He showed
that the silver issue was not a dang
err and declared that Bryan's open
fight for free coinage compelled the
Republicans "insincerely" to adopt
the gold standard. He spoke of
Bryan's integrity and truthfulness as
among the salutary influences of this
generation
Mr. Shepard, in an interview de-
clared imperialism 10 be the prime
issue. ''If a panic be necessary to
preserve our ideal of Democratic self
government, he said, sit lis a small
price Ito pay. We have in 1900 true
battle for the precedence of the man
over the dollar
Perry Belmont declares that If Nc
Kinley is reelected, 'there will be an
end of the great political experiment
based upon the strict observance of
our written Constitution.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

Pekin, the capital city of China, has
fallen before the combined forces of
Iuhe allied powers. Dispatches an
nouncing this add THAT iuhe foreign
legations and Christian Chinese who
were housed with them in the foreign
quarders, have been rescued safely.
If this be true we believe the object
which called the American troops ito
China has been attained. Indemnity
for the loss of life and monetary out
lay necessary TO accomplish our part
in this bloody drama is of course to be
demanded. Already the imperialistic
advisers of President Mckinley talk
of absorbing Chinese eerribory as a
recompense instead of waiting for a
monetary consideration which may
never come.
Earnestly VIE would here suggest
that we believe the sentiment of the
American people is decidedly against
.ahis. Were we to acquire any portion
of the Celestial Empire lit would mean
simply the privilege and expense of
policing that territory and an addi-
ti0n to our standing army. A privilege
this, it seems 0o us, which the major
portion of the people of these United
States do not wish to enjoy. 1t savors
strongly of monarchical government
and should have no abiding place in
a Republic. Becker far for lis as a
nation, in our opinion, would it be for
our government 10 secure and remove
from danger all those entitled TO our
protection, recall our troops, and if
there never comes to us any other in
demnity than a sense of having sue
cored those claiming the protection
of our flag, there will be more lasting
satisfaction, honor and glory in lit
than there would be i'm the forcible
absorption and possession of a useless
and undesired province or two in the
Orient.
