Washington, Sept I.--Represen-
tativo Leon Livingston, Of Georgia,
has boon in Washington Cor fcw
days attending to his duties on tho
industrial commission. tIo loaves
here this evening for Now Jersey,
where he will engage actively in tho
campaign for tho election Of Bryan
and tho Democratic ticket.
Col. Livingston is of the opinion
that the Chinese question is in worry
bad shape as a result Of tho policy
of the diplomats Of tho republican
party, and ho is very anxious as to
the final outcome Of the present diff
ficulties growing out of the Russian
proposition and the acceptance by
the Uniteh States ef that proposi.
ton. Ho declared that people who
have been following the Chinese do
volopment from day to day, to the
neglect altogether Of national pol.
tics, now seem to take little interest
i'll tho diplomatic negotiations which
arc progressing slowly bctv cen the
powers. tn Il very few weeks, poll
ties will bo tho one theme for dis
cussion on the street corners, in the
country stores and everywhere else
in the United States where men con-
gregate to gossip over national af-
fairs.
Col. Livingston regards Bryan
landslide rs almost certainty, and
said in connection with the announce
ment Of former Secretary of State
Olney and fosmor Postmaster Gencr-
al Wilson for Bryan: The whole
gold standard faction of tho demo-
cratic party is falling into limo for
Bryan to emphasizo their disapproval
of McKlnley's vacillating and uncer-
tain foreign policy. Tho letter which
AIr. Olney submitted in announcing
his allegiance to tho regular demo
cratic ticket is in itself ono Of The
strongest campaign documents that
can bo produced, and tho democratic
national and congressional campaign
committee should place it in tho
hands Of every votor from ono ond Of
the country to the other. His reas-
ons for rejecting NIcKinleyism and
accepting Organism arc unaswcrable
and contain the same snap, vigor and
anadulterated Americanism which
characterized his vigorous and sue
cessful administration Of the depart
ment Of State during Cleveland's
last administration.
"These announcements on the part
Of Mr.. Olney and AR. Wilson are
calculated to strike CONSERVATION in
to the republican ranks and it is very
probable they will DO followed by
public declaration by former Prcsi-
dent Cleveland to tho samo effect.
"Another thing that ] regard as
particularly favorable to the cause
of democracy" Col. Livingston went
on to say, "is the result Of the recent
campaign in Vermont. The aston
ishing result in that State, which
has always becn regarded as ono of
the strongholds Of tho republicans, is
worry encouraging to tho Bryan lead
org. Then too, the polls which have
beon taken in different States
throughout tho country, and particu-
larly the ono taken in Indiana by
the republicans themselves, in which
they acknowledge that the State is
democratic by thirty thousand ma
jority, will encourage tho democrats,
and will help convince many votors,
who arc at present undecided by
reason Of the Misrepresentation of
tho republicans, that tho country is
overwhelming for Bryan and that he
is tho man for them to vote for.
The masses Of tho United States arc
dissatisfied with the high handed
manner IN which the Mckinley ad.
ministration has carried on foreign
wars; taxed tho people; holpod tho
trusts and corporations to the dctri
mont Of the small manufacturers
throughout tho country, aud gener-
ally mismanaged delicate affairs Of
national Importance, and they arc
| prepared to show this dissatisfaction
at the polls in November"
