~ UR LATEST sdvices from New
~ York are. conclusive that the
state VIII give a large majority
Tor Mckinley. Local conditions in
Greater New York, better known to
the country, will increase Mr.. Brvap's
vote in the metropolis. but we believe
mat a majority for Mckinley in the
state is a most conservative estimate.
Lately there has been some question
as to the result in Maryland Nr.
Bryan's visit to that state proved in
curious to his cause, and there has been
IN the last three weeks a great revival
OF Keeling among sound money Demo
Gratis and especially in Baltimore.

As to Ohio. while there may be some
losses in CuyahOsa county and in
Cleveland. and perhaps one or two Of
the other large cities. this VIII be made
up IN the rural districts of the state.
We predict with the greatest confidence
a larger majority in the state than was
given in 1896
Undoubtedly Indiana has been the
great battle-ground IN the states of the
middle west. Every vote has been
thoroughly contested. The Republicans
VIII suffer losses in a few of the larger
cities, but there viii be gains among
the farmers and the first voters of the
young men, Developments show that
the young men of the state are almost

can be that Kaneas. Wyoming, South
Dakota and Washington viii be carried
by the Republicans by decisive major

and Nevada are more likely to give
their votes to Mckinley than to Bryan.

AN OLD DISPUTE

One of the most famous and
most beautiful of our civil war
poems is Call Quiet Along the
Potomac Tonight"
Who wrote it?
Very soon after its first publ
cation a dispute arose over this
question and the number of
claimants has increased until it
has reached at least a half
dozen.
The poem is generally attrib-
uted to Lamar Fontaine, Mississ
sippl; and he resents with in
dignation the slightest sugges.
ton that he is no. it's author.
The WATERFORD IS. CD Press
and Standard has revived the
discussion Of this disputed au-
thorship in a way that is likely
to provoke a warn controversy.
It says:
Recurring from the Colfed-
crate reunion in Charleston last
May, the editor of the Press and
Standard rode for sumo distance
in the same car with Fontaine,
who, having attended the reun~
ion, was going back to his home
in Lynn. Miss. After a few Minis
utes' study of him, we were sat.
isfied that he did not write that
beautiful poem. In appearance
and manner F'ontaine is rough
and uncouth. His conversation
sbounds in oaths and vulgarisms
In fact he is one of the most
profane men We have ever come
in contact with. Such a man is,
in our Judgment, utterly incap'
able Of distinguishing a poem
from a bit of the meanest dog
gerel."
However this may be in regard
to Captain Fontaine, the evidence
to our mind is conclusive that
he is the author of the aboys
beautiful poem.
