ONO thus becomes a pivotal state
II carried for Mckinley It would elect
him. although all others should go for
Bryan. Mckinley will probably carry
West Virginia, reducing his needs to
thirteen electoral votes, but he can
get these (without a combination 81
states) from only Ohio. Indiana or
Kentucky. Kentucky will almost sure
y be Democratic. Indiana and Ohio
remain. Indiana was Republican in
1896 by only $4,000. and is always a
close state. McKinley's prospects are
good in Kansas and also in South Da-
kota and Wyoming. The combinatioz
OF either of these states with Kansas
would elect him. even though he
should lose Indiana and Ohio. Ne

Bryan states contested by Republ

The Mckinley states contested by
the Democrats include New York, with
thirty-six electoral votes. New York
IS somewhat erratic. but votes with a
great deal of conscience. In 1896 it
gave a plurality OF 250.0O0 against
Organism. II IS extremely unlikely
that a change Of nearly 20 per cent
can be made In four years; yet this
would berequired to turn the state over
to Bryan. Il is quite safe. therefore to
put New York in the Mckinley col
umn
A change Of little more than per
cent. would turn Ohio. which was Re-
publican. but very close in 1892; but
Ohio is McKinley,s own state and
Ohioans generally stand together
There was q factional fight in the
state In 1896 which cut down McKin-
ley's majority, but now there is no
such contest within the party. For
the present. however, Ohio may be
classed as doubtful.
Illinois is much more strongly Re
publican. and. in spite of the anarchis-
/ tic vote of Chicago. should be nut inth
Republican column. There is not the
slightest reason Tor doubling the Re
lpublicanism OF Iowa, Michigan, Mime
sofa or Wisconsin. We may add
therefore, to the ninety-seven electora

WATCH THEM AND SCOTCH THEM

In the various negotiations between
the Republican State Committee
and the Union Republican State
Committee. no action has
been taken which binds any Re
publican organization or individual to
do anything which will promote or in
anywise assist j. Edward Addlcks in
his effort to obtain a seat in the United
States Senate.
1t has been understood at all times
and in all places that under no circum-
stance will the Republican voters enter
into any compact with the Union Re
publican voters having such an end in
view. They are opposed as bitterly to
Addicks and his pretensions now as
they always have been since he used

ture TO prevent the rejection Of An

Saturday they wiz vote for no man for

We have in the field to-day three
classes OF candidates for legislative
honors. namely: Those who openly
avow that they are for Addicls, FIRST,

for Addicks first. last and all the time
and yet who strive to deceive Repub-
lican voters by concealing the fact;
and those who openly announce thai
they will vote for any representativ,
Republican for United States senator
but not for Addicks.
This Is the situation which confront
the Republican voters in New Castl
county, and one with which they mus
deal wisely and firmly. laying asid

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Presidential Outlook

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In all presidential election cam
paigns the country gets into a condi-
tiOn of uncertainty about the 1st C,f Oc-
tober. This year offers no exception.
Neither party Is entirely confident of
the result of the election, which is to
be held in little more than a month.
The rank and file of the Republican
party are quite sure that President
Mckinley viii be reelected; but the
rank and file of the Democratic party
are equally hopeful of Bryan's cleo
tioD. Astute party leaders on both
sides are less confident. They fully
appreciate the uncertainties Of the
popular vote, and more especially the
uncertainties OF the electoral vote.
President Mckinley was elected in 1896
by unusually large maiorities in the
states that voted for him. 1t is con-
ceded that he will not receive as large
popular vote, and the question is
really what effect the loss sure TO be
sustained by the Republicans will have
upon the electoral vote. II is also be-
lieyed by observing politicians that
though he will lose in the aggregate
he viii make some gains in the Pacific
coast and Rocky Mountain States and
possibly, in the South, Mr.. Bryan gain
ing in the Middle West and East. To
get an idea Of the probable result
these tables have been made. showing
the states in which no change is ex-
pected and those which are rendered
doubtful by being hopefully contested
by the party that was ia the minority
in 1896. Some OF these states are not
really doubtful, but they are put in the /
contested list for further discussion.

For then the fab grew bigger far

They never caught . sucker then
That didn't weigh q ton,
And pickcrel were longer than
A modern Armstrong gun.
They used TO yank out halibut
In hundreds from our bays.
And shsd ran UP the banks to bite
At least. 50 father says
They never thought Of using bait
To lure the willy trout;
They reached ht5shel basket down
And simply ysnked them out,
And in about an hour or two
They'd I'LL Up several drays
Ard show them through the neighborhood-
At least. so father saya
IN Short they caught 50 many fish
That fore their sport was through

Go down yard or two.
