BRYAN'S ELEC>
TON ASSURED.
Views Of II. A. McCraney on
the Situation in the East.

H. A. McCraney, ex-Secretary OF
the Silver Repu blican National Com
mittee, who has been travelling extern
sive!y for several weeks past in the in
terest of Bryan and Stevenson, thus
speaks OF the outlook in the East:
Yes! l was east as far as Chi
cago, says Mr.. h. A. McCraney, and
must confess that the more I look into
the political situation the more con-
WINGED I become that Bryan has lead
pipe cinch on being elected. Why.
nea, ly every organization. political, re-
ligions, and social, except the Repub-
lican party and those organizations in
the interests of the trusts, that have
held a national meeting Of late have
passed resolutions endorsing Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic platform. What
States il the list DO think Bry:n will
carry that he did not before? New
York, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky
sure. l know you will smile when
say that | believe he will also carry
Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan, and
possibly Delaware and West Virginia.
Ia Ohio there were over Ice, 900 vote cast
for Mayor Jones, most of which were
cast as rebuke to the Administrat ton.
Now, 1t is not reasonable to presume
that a man or a lot of men who would
vote against the policy of an admins
tration would surely vote against the
istration. The Republicans only car
lied Ohio by about so. 600 ma jo,.itv last
! election. The vote given to Mayor
Jones, If voted FOR Mr.. BRYAN, hich
! believe it will be, will give him a safe
, 81, coo ma ority. But the Democratic
! gains 10 Ohio do not end here The
! German and Irish citizens of that state
no have but recently left the Repub
llcan ranks on account q the position
taken by that party on the Boer ues-
! tlon. were not included n the jones
vote for the reason that the Republi-
can party had not defined It's position
on that question. 1t is safe to figure
at least % 900 of these votes, thus max
ing another so, 600 votes to be counted
against Mckinley. and assuring Ohio

able doubt.
In Minnesota there has only got to
be change made in the vote OF about
%, 600 out Of $40, 600 of the total vote
ID that state. At least one-quarter OF
the whole are Scandanavians. who
have been Republicans in the past, al
most to man. Now they are nearly
all Silver Republicans or Democrats
| Governor Lind has made them mos,
excellent governor and they are al
proud OF him, ami viii follow hin
wherever he goes. He is to-day mos
| enthusiastic supporter Of Mr. Bryan
There are enough Scandanavians alon,
to turn the tide in that state, but tina
Is not all. The followers and admirer
OF Chas y. Towne, and he has host

are making an extra effort to carr,
Minnesota for Bryan and Stevenson
Mr.. TOwne is beloved and revered by
his people and they will see to it ,ha
his home state is in the right column
