Besides these states placed in the

voted the Democratic ticket in 1898 as
well as in 1896. Conservative Repub.
leans do not claim Delaware, Mary

ably be Republican, but with the bit
ter fight now on between the two
rival Republican factions the chances
are that the Democrats will carry the

always been Democratic, except in

to 1896, and, if Democratic, adding it
to the Republican plurality in 1896, or
if Republican, subtracting it, the re-
suit should show the Republican gain
which would be twice the number Of
the excess of Democrats supporting
Mckinley over that of Republicans
supporting Bryan. On the supposition
that half of this excess will return to
the support of the Democratic ticket,
the Democrats would make the follow
ing gains:

This would leave the Republicans in
control of all these states except Ken
lucky, but it would so reduce their
pluralitics that a change of even 10
per cent in the German vote, only
one-fourth of DR.. Habercom's estl-
mate, would carry Maryland, Ohio and
Indiana into the Democratic column,
and these, with Kentucky, would add
So to Bryan's vote, giving him 232
votes against 215 for Mckinley.

as if their votes had already been

FIGURES FAVOR BRYAN.
The Germans and Gold Democrats will
Elect Him

A Washington correspondent of the
st. Iaul Globe has the following to
say on the coming election:
No man is in n better position to
speak for the German voters of the
United States than DR.. l.. w. Haber-
com. He was fifth auditor of the
treasury during the Harrison admins,
tration and, what is more to the pur.
pose, he was for many years the Ger
man secretary of the Republican ma,
tional committee, resigning that posi-
ton only few months ago because
he was unable to follow his party any
further in what he considered it's de-
parture from the old faith.
DR.. Habercom says that so per cent,
and possibly So, of the German
American voters supported Mckinley
in 1896 Assuming that the lower fig
urc is correct and that the remaining
20 per cent voted for Bryan the Ger
man vote stood: Mckinley, 1,7GO, 900:
Bryan, 100000. McKinley's German
plurality, 100000. AS McKinlcy's
plurality of the entire vote was only
GO3,5OO it follows that if DR.. Haber
CONS estimate is correct Bryan's
plurality of the non German vote wos
1G,5O0.
DR.. Habcrcom expresses the opin,
ion that 60 per cent of the German
American voters this year will support
Bryan. If so the German vote, in
creased to 2,325,OOO, will stand:
Bryan, 1,395,000, and Mckinley, $780,
600; Bryan's plurality Of the German
vote, 4Go00O. Add to this his plural
ity Of the non-German vote in 1896
and his total plurality would be ISL.
500, which is nearly twice as large as
any plurality of the popular vote ever
known.
DIR. Iabcrcom mentions three states
to which his estimates do not apply
New York. Kansas and Nebraska.
Taking it for granted that the contll-
lions are the same in the North Attain
tic states as in New York, and the
same in the states west of Kansas and
Nebraska as in these two states Of the
Middle West and the Southern States
carried by the Republicans would be
lett as the battle ground. Leaving all
changes except those in the German
vote out Of consideration and accept
ing DR.. Habcrcom's opinion Of the
changes as correct in these states the
following table will show what Demo-
cratic gains would be and what the
Republican pluralitics were in 1896:
