Ascending 70 Jones. Mckinley wins.

Absorbing 20 Jones, Mckinley Wins.
The siection Of Mckinley can now be
safely predicted. That In the only conclu-
sion 10 b. drawn from the manifesto
issued Saturday by Chairman Jones. of the
national Democratic committee. In that
manifesto Chairman Jones said
Tho nght Is won Bryan and Steven
son VIII be elected. The Democratic ma

pie The Democrats will hold all the
states they carried In 1895. with the possi-
BILE exception Of Wyoming. We will also
carry New York. New Jersey, Delaware.
Maryland, West virginia, Kentucky. In

the ststescommittes Of California has Just
wired me that We vii, carry that state by
1000 majority"

With the seaboard. ana which cares only
for cheap transportation rates to the for
eign markets which absorb its surplus
crop, and which fx the price at which all
of 1t Is sold Hence neither OF these oues-
tons appeals In any measure to MI
Bryan. whose vision is so limited that
ne can see nothing save from the Ne
braska standpoint
1t is. or at least the Eebraska people
think IT is, nothing to them whether
mighty trade shall be built up between
ports of the United States. Nebraska
does not expect to share in that trade.
and Mr. Bryan takes the Nebraska view
of it. That the manufacturers OF the
United States are grasping the markets
OF the world is Of less interest TO the
average Nebraskan than the fact that
he has to pay a tribe more for the arti-
Giles produced outside Of his state than
ne would have to pay should he bs per-
United to purchase them abroad.
In short. a local condition prevails,
which puts Nebraska out OF sympathy
with the great Industrial ana commercial
centers Of the United States. and which
likewise puts Mr.. Bryan out Of sympathy
with them. His mind IL not sufficiently
broad to take in the whole country. He
has been mentally dwarfed by consid-
ering everything from the standpoint Of
its supposed influence on Nebraska. hence
ne advocates nothing save what he be-
iieves would be for the interests OF an
insulated community. without regard for
what its effect would be on the interests
OF the country as q whole.
The state OF washington stands pre-
cisely at the other extreme in the conn
parison. Its future growth and devei-
opment depend on the expansion of its
commerce, especially with Asia. and the
expansion Of its manufacturing indus
tries. Tts agriculture looks to its widest
margin Of profit through the growth Of
.he local markets. Its every material In
tsrest lies in the continuance OF the poll
Giles of the present Republican admins
tration; and reversicn of the policies
which Mr.. Bryan, from his Nebraska
standpoint, advocates, would arrest the
present marvellous growth and expansion
Of Washington. as nothing else could ar
rest them.
These facts are clearly realised BY the
thinking men Of this state. without regard
to previous political affiliations; which
IL why the electoral vote of Washington
IS counted. with absolute confidence. as
certain to be recorded in the Republican
column in the election next week.

the task It was two years ago. II only
remains for the Republicans to vote, and
the plurality for the Republican candi-
dates both national and state will be
such ~ to prevent this state ever being
placed in the doubtful column.
The last few years ail over the land
have been Republican years. They have
been prosperity and contentment, on
neither OF which the Democratic party
thrives. Good times have come under a
Republican administration. and It Is only
