BRYAN WILL WIN.
PREDICTION OF COL. BLANToN DUNCAN,
Who Has FOretO]d Four Elections.

Los ANGEl-fo, Shl~', aug - III WI i'i"h-
ton Duncan, of Los Angeles, California has a
man inspired with prophetic vision, in so far as
elections are concerned. In September, 1888,
he told Grover Cleveland that the national
Democratic ticket would be defeated the sue
ceeding November, and gave list of the states,
with the votes each would cast. His prediction
was exactly realized.
In 1902, he informed Mr.. Cleveland immedi-
atey after the New Yorker was given the pres
idential nomination that victory was in store
for the Democracy. He again gave list OF
states and an estimate of their votes, and again
his prophesies were fulfilled.
In 1896, responding to all inquiry from SEN
ator Joe Blackburn, he predicted the defeat of
Bryan, and correctly foretold the vote of Ken
lucky, California, New York and several other
states
For forty years he has been true prophet,
and persons OF excellent repute, who know his
record for prophecy, are enthusiastic believers
in him.
"Mr Bryan will be the next president. F"
"In round numbers, there will be cast ID ,ooo,-
900 votes in the presidential election this year,
of which Mr. Bryan will receive 7,4oo, 900, and
Mr.. Mckinley $4,000
'In 1896, Mr.. Bryan carried Alabama, Az
kansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,
Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North
Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota Ten
nessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington
and Wyoming-I76 electoral votes. Mr.. Nc
Kiney received 27I electoral votes.
"In 1000, Mr. Bryan will carry Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
West Virginia, Virginia, California, Nevada,
Montana, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Minneso-
ta Nebraska, New York and Utah. This gives
Mr.. Bryan ESQ electoral votes.
"Bryan will have the next house of repre-
sentatives by majority Of fifteen.
'In the senate, during the Bryan administra-
ton, Matt Quay will have seat. So will
Clark, of Montana. Delaware and Utah will
send Democratic senators to Washington. Allen
will retain his position as senator from Nebras-
ka 1t is probable that when the senate is re-
arranged by the legislatures of 1901, Mr. Bryan
will have fortystx supporters in that body-a
majority of two. By 1905, the senate will be
much more strongly Democratic
Gin 1896, only I33,I4S gold Democrats stood
together, all the others voting for Mr.. McKin-
ley. This year, most of the gold Democrats
will vote for Mr.. Bryan.
"Of the Scandinavians, the Dutch and the
Germans, vast proportion will this year sup
port Mr.. Bryan--not fewer than 1000, 900 who,
in 1885, voted for Nh. Mckinley.
"Mr. Bryan will carry New York by 10000.
This will be matter of clear evolution of pub
lie opinion In 1896, Mr.. Mckinley received
in New York 268, 4o8 more votes than Mr..
Bryan. In 1897, there was reaction, and
Judge Parker (Dem.) defeated Judge Wallace
(Rep.) by 6o,88o votes. In 1898, the strong
personality of Colonel Roosevelt served to lit
the Republican vote above its due level, and
the figures stood Roosevelt (Rep.), 6oI,7o7;
Van Wyck (Dem. }, 643,92I. This year, with
Governor Roosevelt again factor, but national
issues strong influence, the result will be
Democratic plurality of 10000.
"Kentucky will give Mr. Bryan plurality,
next autumn, Of 1000 votes. The people OF
that state will vote their protest against all that
Taylor and his gang of thugs have stood for.
"California will give Mr.. Bryan plurality
of ~ 900 votes. The strife within the Repub-
lican party in this state will be the principal
factor in swinging California so thoroughly in
to the Democratic column.
"The id-roaders will not poll more than
200 600 votes--oue- half Of which will be cast
