REPUBLICANS LIKE CLEAN CUT ISSUE.
BRYANITE ACTION MAY DRIVE sCHOHARIE
COUNTY OUT OF DEMOCRATIC COLUMN.

The victory of the l6 to silver over the So
called "Conservatives' at Kansas City put the
Republican organization leaders in a jubilant frame
of mind last night. To man, almost, those who
were seen expressed the opinion that the situation
in this State had been simpliHed and that Repub-
lcan chances OF success are now better than ever.
Chairman Odell of the Republican State Commit
tee said little for publication when he was asked
about the IS to l plank in the Democratic plat
form.
There's nothing like having a good clean cut
issue said he. and then he smiled significantly.
William Barnes, jr chairman OF the Executive
Committee Of the Republican State Committee
said: Bryan knows that he will lose New-York 3
electoral vote and whether he loses II by 225 900 or
by 1900 IS OF small consequence TO him. He won't
cater to NewY ork at the risk OF losing support in

VIEWS OF HENRY CLEws.

Commenting upon the Democratic National Con-
venton. Henry Clews said yesterday:
The adoption at the Kansas City Convention OF
the l6 to silver plank indicating the Ratification
of the entire Chicago platform is simply nricting
hari kari upon their Presidential nominee The
people OF this country are not going vote from
a feeling OF desperation, they did when they
voted for that platform at the last Presidential
election Wheat was then 81 cents bushel-now
1T is so cents Cotton then cents a pound
now II Is 10 cents. These prices have made the
producers prosperous and contented therefore their
frame of mind is vastly different than when fore
closure of their property stared them In the face
Now that these people have had a taste of pros
perity, they want II continued, and that means
that they will vote accordingly, which insures Mr.
McKinley's reelection. To vote for Bryan means
reversal OF the National policy. with its resultant
general depression and serious disaster to all manu-
featuring and producing interests such as we ex-
perienced during the period from 1893 to 1897 I be-
lieve the American people can now commence to
predicate their business undertakings the
tainty Of the reelection of Mckinley More active
times in business circles, therefore, may be ex-
Dected henceforth.

DEMOCRATS HERE GIVE UP THE STATE.
THINK CROKER HAS THROWN AWAY THE
FIGHTING CHANCE THEY HAD

Local Democrats concede the State TO the Repub-
icans in the coming election by a plurality Of not
less than sixty thousand. The attack made by
Croker Hill at the caucus of the NewYork dele
gates Tuesday night. supplemented by the adop-
ton Of the 16 to 1 plank yesterday put the small
fry Democrats who for reason or another have
not gone to Kansas City, in ugly mood and
correspondingy elated the Republicans. One OF
the favorte gathering places for Tammany men
these days is the Brighton Beach Hotel, Half a
dozen that place when by Tribune re-
porter last night admitted that while there was a
fighting chance for the Democrats in this State
before Croker went away. the transactions at Kan
City have given the Republicans tremendous
advantage, matter how Loyalty Bryan may be
supported by Tammany. Tammany lawyer,
counsel to one of the large departments said:
Croker has shown his inexperience in National
politics by attacking Hill. The old (Croker).

out OF it bigger than Hill has lost control
of the State delegation but at the same time he
has increased his prestige that Croker will be
more afraid Of him than We had some show
of winning this State before the open break be-
tween Croker and Hill. but no one believes now
that the Democrats will come anywhere carry

Another thing that has given local Democrats a
chill is the way that Croker has taken up Van

and that 60 cents hundred pounds much
