said:
There can no longer be a doubt in
the mind of any one who considers the
situation that at least 1900, 600 of the %
100000 populist votes cast for Bryan in
1896 will this year be lost to him and
cast for the presidential candidate Of the
people party. That the democratic Lead
3ers know this fact is made clear by the
course Of Hill, Pattison, German and
their associates.
The democrats will probably give the:
nomination to some one else, and thus
invite the gold democrats back into the
fold
