McKINLEY MONEY
IN NEVADA

Already note Of warning has gon.
out from the Republican Nationa
Committee for the followers of the
Republican administration not to be
too sanguine of success. They are
claiming a certain victory through
their newspapers, and then sending
out private circulars OF the real stu
alton and making frantic appeals fol
more money.
Four years ago they did not spend
a dollar in Nevada as they had dead
thing in the Middle States ard die
not need Nevada's electoral vote.
Now they have every reason to fear
the loss of Illinois. Ohio aud Indiana
and must rus-le among the snalle:
States for sufficient votes to make up
for the losses elsewhere which now
stare them in the face.
Recently the National Republican
Committee sent out FIVE thousand
dollars to the Republicans of Nevada
to be spent for Mckinley, and ten
thousand more is promised. The
money is now in Reno and will be
used on election day for Mckinley
alone. The Committee have asked
for the other ten thousand end will
have it before election day.
The thing that confronts them
however, is the Australian ballot.
They cannot sshandle the vote with
any certainty with the Australian
ballot and they must realize that
twice or three times that SUM could
not break the Bryan phalanx in this
State.
These facts are published, how
ever, to show the really desperate ex-
tren,ity of the Republican party in
the east.
Bryan IS now in the lead and gain
ing every day, and the trusts kknc"
that the last stand III the last ditch
must be fight over breastworks Of
money heaped up as high as it can
be piled.

rill, such favorite in Nashville.
"Mr. Moore's literary work has given
him place of high regard in the es-
TEEN of wide circle of literary people,

not gown in pure white, but after all her

there was touch of individuality
about it which rendered it only the
more lovely. Immediately after the
ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs. Hutton left FOL
