Let us look at the facts. In every
western state there is perfect fusion
between democrats and populists and
silver republicans. These three ele-
ments hav gotten together and agreed
upon Bryan electors, and with their
forces combined every state west of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
will select Bryan electors. The single
one of these states IN which there is a
possible doubt is Iowa.
In the south we are absolutely sure
OF all but Maryland and West Virginia

There can be no excuse on the part

there is believed to he chance for the
republicans to- win. The republican
candidates in these places are especial

makes the election of the republican
