To Gold Democrats.

To Gold Democrats.
Mr.. Bryan himself is willing to be
known. first and foremost, as an advo-
cate Of free silver. He demonstrated
to the committee on the democratic
platform that he would withdraw
from his candidacy rather than con-
sent to the excelsior OF the free silver
clause from the creed. In his advo.
cacy Of free silver he has been consist
ent and given no Indication OF any 10
tention to forsake the arguments of
'96. The gold democrats who have de-
termined to vote for Mr.. Bryan. rely
ing upon republican senate Ito pre-.
vent what they call fatal monetary
legislation and national dishonor are
invited to consider these figures
selected from recent statement in
Harper's Weekly.
"The terms of one-third of the sem
ators expire next March. Those OF an
other one third will end with March,
1903. The states which Mr.. Bryan
must carry to be elected president,
would at the same time, pretty GER
tainly elect legislatures in sympathy
with his policies and such legislatures
could very soon change the complex
ion Of the senate.
In the group Of states reckoned on
BY the Bryanite party, there are
twelve senators to be elected in place
Of twelve outgoing sOund-money men.
while the present republican repre-
sentatiOn in the senate numbers only
fifty one, or five more than a bare ma.
jOrity Of full senate. 1t is certain
that Bryan cannot carry all of these
states. 1t is doubtful that he will
carry any OF them, except possibly the
two or three that gave mesger NC
Kinley majorities in the last election.
But in order TO be elected president.
he must carry enough Of them to give
him fOrty-eight more electoral votes
than he secured last time, and if that
should happen it would pretty certain
ly carry with it the choice Of enough
free silver senators to make Mr.. Bryan
master Of the upper as we'll as the
lower house. 1t would enable him at
once to carry through congress and
write into the statute book, An act
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the pres.
sent legal ratio of Is to L."
Therefore, the free silver issue is as
directly involved in this election IS in
the campaign Of 1896.

The girls college, which ne founded

The great Robert college. six miles

make light Of. The sultan fastened
to send word to DR.. Hamlin that he
