QUESTION OF MAJORITY IN MICHIGAN
The result in Michigan is merely a question OF
majority. Mckinley will carry the State by at
least $1,000. His plurality is more likely to reach
1900. and few would be surprised il il mounted 70
1000. Four years ago McKinIey-s majority over
Bryan 56.17O. Two years ago in the State cleo
ton the average Republican plurality 100
The conditions for Republican success are more
favorable this year than they two four

POpulsts and Silver Republicans We're gathered
into single fold Many Democrats or the old
school refused to recognize or affiliate with this

the Democracy lost through the Sound Money de-
fectiOn it more than made good from It's Silver
Republican and PopullsJ recruits The total Bry-
ante vote 237. loo. while 1882 Cleveland
ceived only 22. 296 This year the Silver Repub-
Ican party does not exist; few OF it's members
still with the Bryanites but the great majority
have returned TO the Republican party, and es-
pecially is this among the farmers and labor
ing classes Some of the Populists are FOR Bryan
but the Popusts have a ticket of their IN

come out for the Republican ticket. Some Of the
Sound Money Democrats who bolJed Bryan four
years ago viii vote for Bryan. but where one has

mote the reelection Of Mckinley and are doing
it openly, instead Of by of third ticket
