Why Democrats Will Win.

Sheldon, Ill , Oct 4-Mr. Bryan had
not expected to make any speeches on
his way to Indianapolis but he found
crowds wherever the train stopped for
any length Of time and to some h. spoke
briefly.
At Kankakee Q he said;
IL have been out in the northwest
where the republicans claim they are 60
ing to make gains, but my observation is
that the republican gains you hear Of
are alwAys in some other country than
the one you are in. When you get out
there they are going to carry the cas- ;
when you get east they are going to car
ry the west; and when you get about the
middle of the country they are little
shy on votes Just there and expect TO
make gains at both ends of the coun-
try.
1--WE are making gains everywhere for
many reasons. One of the principal
onss is that those who come into con-
tact with the trusts know that the trusts
exist notwithstanding what Mr.. Hanna
says. He ought to ask his wife for
every woman knows something about the
trusts.
"Another reason is that men who have
recently read the Declaration of lnde-
pepdence know that tue republican party
is violating tnat declaration and some OF
the republicans who have not read it re-
Gently. are looking it up and leaving the
republican party"
