REPUBLICAN OPINION.
Former Attorney General of Ohio on
the Issues OF Campaign.

Nashville. Tenn, July % Congress
man John W. Gaines OF this district, today
received red-hot letter from former At
torney- General F. s, Monnett, of Ohio,
Who led the fight In that State against the
Standard oil trust. The latter bears up
on trusts and the policies used so far in
the Mckinley Roosevelt campaign.
Mr.. Gaines recently delivered speech
in congress upon the trust question in
which he used many OF the fac,s and ilg-
ures with regard to thS Ohio fight, and
the letter was one OF oongratulaton. In
speaking of the trust question and the
manner IN which it is viewed by the
masses OF the people. General Monnett
says;
I "One Is surprised at the cold indiffer-
enoe ON the part OF the ignorant. pillnged
/ victims of the trust, who are only too
willing to look at the balloon while the
trust robbers reach their hands into their
pockets and enter their homes and rob

BRYAN LIKED EAST.
Republicans and Gold Democrats
Flock to dis support.

Flock to dis support.
Milwaukee, Wis, July 30.-William
George Bruce, chairman of the democratic
county committee, has just returned from
a southern trip. He is more enthusiastic
for MIR. Bryan than ever as result of
what he saw and heard in the South. He
says:
My visit to the South and the East
strengthens me in my belief that Bryan
will be the next president of the United
States l am not usually al optilnist, but
the things that have come under my no.
tice confirm my faith. The South Is as
solid as ever. In the East, however,
the transformation is more than percepti-
BILE. The democrats who fought the ticket
hardest four years ago, are not only in
line, but are leading htmh ehrdluuu
f, line, but are lending their best efforts for
democratic success In 1896 there was
enthusiasm that is widespread and that
not only includes the gold democrat but
the republican who sees the menace OF
imperialism or who has felt the iron hand
of the trust. In New York there Ia COM
plete harmony among the democrats. On
the other hand, there Is trouble in the re-
publican ranks.
During my absence find that my name
was mentioned for the democratic State
craftsmanship. You may say that l am
not candidate, My duty lie here atShome
I have but one ambition and that Is 10
do my share toward carrying this dis
trict for the democratic congressional,
county, legislative and state ticket next
fall I have become an enthusiast on Mr..
Pecks candidacy. I find at Washington
that he enjoys great popularity among
the leading democrats OF the nation AS

plish more for Milwaukee's growing In
