Support That He Had in 1875 EA-
cept a Few Silver Republicans.
A Republican Forecast

The following statement over the
signature of j. A. Edgerton, the Sec
rotary, was given out by the peoples
party national committee:
Bryan will be elected; he has lost
none of the support he had in 1896,
exceot few silver republicans in the
mountain states. OF these there will
not be enough to effect a single
electoral vote. He will hold his own
west OF the Mississippi, and will carry
every state in that region that he
carried in 1896 with the possible ex-
ception of Wyoming. He will gain
heavily in the central west and east;
he will not only have all the demo-
Gratis and populists who supported
him in 1896, but, added to these, he
will receive the votes of large num-
Der of gold democrats who have left
their party on the issues of imperial
ism and trusts.
1.-The following states may be
classed as certain to cast their elect
oral vote for Bryan;
Alabama, II; Arkansas, 8; Col
orado, 4 Florida, 4 Georgia, IL;

Missouri, II; Montana, 3; Nebraska,
s; Nevada, 3; North Carolina, IL;
South Carolina 9; Tennessee, -;

Bryan:
illinois, "a Indiana, 10; Kansas,
10; Kentucky, 10; Maryland, s;
South Dakota, 4 Washington, 4;
West Virginia, 6. Total, 81.
"These, added to 153 certain, give
237, or 10 more than majority in
the electoral college. Outside OF
these certain and probable states are
