NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-senator Scott,
at Republican national headquarters to-

substituting another date The Chicago
people did not want Roosevelt to speak
on Sept. and Sept 10, as the dates were
too near together This will allow
Roosevelt to speak in Deadwood, 8. D.

INDIANA GONE.

Ex-President Harrison and ex-Speaker
Keifer agree that the Democrats will
probably carry Indiana. These states
have forty-four electoral votes which,
AIDED to the number makes 1879 strongly
probably for Bryan. In 1896 or 1898 the
Democrats received votes from the fol-
lowing states: Minnesota g. Kansas,
10; Wyoming, 8; Washington, 4, and Calf
fornia, Total q. Giving the Democrats
thirteen of these they would still be
twenty-five votes short of ma jority. The
chances are that they will get twenty
three votes from Ohio-one more than
majority. The Republican plurality was
only 1923 in that state last year. and
Sam Jones and Independent candidate,
polled JOG, III votes. He is now working
for Bryan. If he can carry three-fourths
of mis- vote with him it would be sufficient
to give a Democratic plurality. If he can
carry twO-thirds of it with him the Re
publican plurality would be cut down TO
ID. 449, and the return of half the Gold
Democrats to the party or change in
favor of the Democrats on one-thirtieth
Of the German vote would do the rest.
This would elect Bryan without the
changes that are taking place in NIichi-
gan, Wisconsin. Illinois and Iowa. A
return of half the Gold Democrats to the
party and change from the Republicans
to the Democrats Of one-fifth of the Ger
man vote-only half of Dr. Habercom's
estimate-would give Mr.. Bryan. in addi-
ton to the states helcarried In 1896, Del
| aware, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois,
received in 1886. would give an electoral
majority of 160 votes. "

MORE DEMOCRATIC VOTES.


But the Democrats will win votes from
another class, the Gold Democrats. who
supported Mckinley in 1896 1t is not
so easy to estimate their number as the
number of German4 Ame1fcan voters, bu.
an estimate may be made that will prob
ably not be far from the truth. In tffs
estimate lit is not necessary to include
the Southern states which voted for
Bryan, for they will not change; nor the
Nerth Atlantic states which voted for
Mckinley, except New York and New
Jersey, for no conceivable changes would
affect the results in these states 1t is
also useless to consider the changes in
the states west of Minnesota and Iowa,
for the Democrats who voted for Nc
Kinley in 1896 and will not in 1900. will
be fully offset by the Silver Republicans
or Populists who will change from Bryan
to Mckinley. Taking the average plu-
rallty for the four presidential elections
prior to 1896, and. if Democratic, adding
1t to the Republican plurality in 1896, or
If Republican, subtracting it. the result
should show the republican gain which
would be twice the number of the excess
of Democrats supporting Mckinley over
that of Republicans supporting Bryan.
On the supposition that half of this ex-
cess will return to the support of the
Democratic ticket, the Democrats would

made as to whother new appli-
cations would have to be made,
when parties were already on tho pen
sion rolls The now law seems to re-
quiro fresh start. The provision as to
applications reads:
Section 5. Before any soldier or sailor
shall receive any payment provided in
this Act he shall make an application in
writing, through the township repro
sentative, addressed to tho county pen
sion board, to DO appointed as herein
after directed for each county of the
State, setting forth in detail the nature
of the disabling wound if any, tho
company and regiment or battalion in
which ho served and tho time and
place of receiving tho wound, and show
ing that neither he nor his wife is in re-
ccipt of tho income as hereinafter spcc-
fed, and showing further the time and
place of residence within the State by
the applicant. Such application shall be
verified by tho oath of the applicant,
made before any officer in the State
authorized to administer oaths, and
shall be accompanied by the aflida-
Wit OF one or moro credible witnesses,
