HOW BUSINESS MEN
Look at the Chances For the
election of Mckinley At
the Polls Next
tuesday.

| Special Officer Rayner of the G.. H.
stirred up a hornets nest yesterday
afternoon while crowd was waiting
for the delayed train from the east.
Nh. Rayner is a democrat, il being a
we'll known fact that he comes from a
prominent democratic farmily. the
memebers OF which have been actively
identified with important political
movements almost as long as there has
/ been such a thing as a United States
government
I With Major Loughborough, who was
waiting for the tram In order to meet
Captain Sibley. he commenced talking
over the political outlook. The two
were soon Joined by Mr. Krakauer. who
was waiting foT the =. p. train to go to
iordsburg. and il tnen stood two to
one ill., favor of Mckinley. but MIR. Ray
ner was firm in his belief that Bryan
would be elected and stated his reason
for believing so. giving statistics of the
result OF last election and showing
where Bryan would receive an increase
in number of electoral votes over last
election. Mr.. Rayner has a strong
voice and soon had a large crowd gath
cred arounr him. IL the crowd had
just gathered and listened all might
have been well. but the crowd was
about ten-tenths republican and it be-
gan To shoot question marks into the
officer until he became ratified. Throw
ing up his hands and looking wildly
around. he asked. My God, is it pos
sible that I am the only democrat on
the ground?"
One of the persons attracted by the
argument was Chas. w. Guild. a prom
inent real estate man of Dallas. who
was on his way to California, and he
entered into the argument in a manner
that showed him to he well drilled in
political tactics. After he had silenced
Mr. Rayner. he made some predictions
concerning the result in Dallas
the state and the nation. Mr.. Guild
says that il is very conserva-
tive estimate to say that
the city OF Dallas Will give McKin-
ley majority of 800. Speaking OF the
registration of Dallas this year he said
that it showed failing off of 1900
compared with last year. He says the
reason for this is that the democrats
had rather go fishing than to vote for
Bryan and did not register because
they do not intend to vote. The re-
publicans are all highly pleased with
their candidates and will turn out in
entirety to vote for them

Strange as it may seem these moods
are mingled with brief periods of the

from black despair and nervous col
lapse to almost smiling confidence and
