clan to a friend here, says: 1.-THE
Democratic party never had such an
opportunity to elect their ticket as
they have this time, and should they
fall 1T will be due to some blunder of
their party" Thus the encouraging
news comes to US from Republican
strongholds. We predict there will
be no blunder committed.

The Chattanooga News gives good
reasons why Democrats may indulge
the hope that Bryan will carry New

they are for him enthusiastically,
David b. Hill was making speeches
against him; at present he is on the
stump making strong speeches for
him. Tammany Hall was doing moth

now. Hundreds of Democratic lead.

CONGRESSMAN NcLAIN'S CLEAR DEMO-
CRATIC VIEWS.
speech Delivered at the Court House
Saturday Night.

congressman Frank A. McLain
spoke to a large and appreciative
audience at the Court House on Sat-
urday night last on the political
issues OF the day. He discussed in a
powerful and masterful manner the
platform OF the Democratic party as
promulgated by the Kansas City con.
vention, paying particular attention
to Imperialism and trusts. His dis
cussion OF these two planks of the
platform was peculiarly lucid and car
ried conviction, no doubt, to those
who had not accepted them, Mr.. Nc
Lain concluded by urging the neces-
slty OF every voter to cast his ballot at
this election so as to ~forestall the
Crumpacker bill having for its object
the reduction Of the South's repre-
sentation in Congress, This latter
advice on the part of our distinguish
ed Congressman was most timely for
In the event that the vote In the
Democratic Congressional district in
the South is small, Congress will like.
ly pass the Crumpacker bill, which
will reduce the South's representation
in Congress. The Crumpacker bill is
intended to so change the law as to base
the representation ON the number OF
votes actually cast instead of repre-
S%entation being based upon each 49,
900 OF population. The average vote
FOR congressman in Republican DIS
tricts is between 30, 200 and ~. 900.
The actual white Democratic register
ed vote in this Congressional district
is $4,000, yet at the last Congressional
election there were cast less than 5000
votes including Populist, Republican
and Democrat.
