Bryan's Election Assured

statement made by the National
Democratic Committee when it
asserts that William Jennings
Bryan will receive the electoral
votes of New York, Indiana and
Illinois.
The claim is based upon careful
convasses Of the states in question.
THIS means the election of Mr..
Bryan, as it resulted in the Demo
cratic victory in 1892.
The party OF the people-the
Democratic party-will also carry
Michigan, Ohio and North Dakota
three states claimed as certain
for Mckinley by the Hanna peo-
pie.
The latter three are not neces-
sary-but they will participate in
the landslide.
Hannaism in Ohio, rannerism in
Illinois, Standard Oillsm in 1ndi-
ana, Rooseveltian mountebankery
IN New York have contributed to
the result.
As to Kentucky, Maryland,
Delaware and West Virginia, there
never was any substantial doubt.
They are not less sure to return
Bryan electoral votes than Ala
hanna, Tennessee and Virginia.
The border states have become dis
gusted with their brief regimes OF
Addickses, raylors, McComases
and Atkinsons.
Michigan is naturally > Demo-
cratic state. 1t has been held by
the enemy tor two reasons; Money
first, then Pingree. That is all
past. The Algers no longer buy
and the Pingrees no longer divide
the popular strength. Michigan
will come into the Democratic col
umn.
Minnesota is . fighting state.
That sturdy Scandinavian, Gov.
Lind, has made the Northland COLI
monwealth a political problem.
Lind carried the sons of the
Vikings with him once, and he can
do it again.
The western states that gave al
legiance to Bryan in 1896 will
do SO again. Despite Hanna, aud
Roosevelt, not a vote of the pied
mont and mountain states will be
missing. Bryan will probably
carry Oregon and add it to the
electoral votes of Washington and
Idaho.
The Republican leaders gave up
Nebraska and Kansas three weeks
ago. They have centered their
forces on South Dakota, where they
hope to defeat Senator Pettigrew.
1t is understood they will trade
Mckinley votes to accomplish this
end. They will not succeed.
Pettigrew will carry his state be-
cause he is an honest man-which
Hanna, who purchased his own
election, is not.
New York is the political pendu-
lum. 1t has swung back and forth
for forty years. 1t is swinging to
Democracy and Bryan. History
is being repeated.

Lieut. Lyles says Ny work during the
past month or more has been in the heart
OF the mountains. north central section of
the island where I have been constructing
military road over what was formerly
considered an impossible mountain trail.
Il is now complete and l got uumeasured
credit from everybody. including General
Funston. our brigade commander. The first
United States supply trains to go into that
section followed my little white and blue
engineers standard over the Alps Of the
Philippines What was once a precipitous
and rocky hillside and mountain canyon is
now a winding road. twenty feet wide,
ditched Oh both sides and rendered as per
feet as American ingenuity and dynamite
could make It. Grizzled old war dogs said
it was a fool proposition. but the mountain
Of Carabello del Sur is conquered.
You may have read Of the fight l had
there Insurgents ambushed me at
O'Clock on the night OF January 10 and
fred on my camp. l lost one man killed
and two wounded and killed three and
wounded six OF mere of the enemy. The
treacher0us presideute Of Carranglan I shot
ard killed with Colts revolver. The en-
emy retired.
When the pass was completed ! was
ordered to superintend more road construc-
tion. The maps / have made have all been
copied and forwarded TO the different or
CARNATIONS in the field
Il have just returned from a trip to San
Ysidro, with the colonel to see General

the great pathfinder The Adjutant Cen
eral also made some iattering remarks on
the character Of the work performed by
