oswald Ottendorfer, editor OF the
lew York Staats-Zeitung says:
German Americans always feel UNI
,sy when the finaocial question is he
,rs the country. They are q scaying
eople, and the uncertainty OF the va
> OF their savings Is bound to agitate
lem. They insist upon a dollar OF
nv kind of money being worth loo
,ots-no more and no less. In fact.
lille they may know that free silver
dead for at least some years to come,
lev fear that Bryan's election would
,courage the free silverites to con-
nue. their fight. They realize, too,
lat as long as one Of the great par
es stands on record as indorsing Is
/ it gives rise TO an uncertainty
,out our currency, and business OF all
nds is bound to suffer.
Interviews with prominent Germans
the st. Louis Globe Democrat:
speaking for myself alone. / will
y that | intend to support President
cKinley as against Mr.. Bryan" said
r. Hugo Muench, the son of one OF
e "mea of 1S4S," yesterday. MY OBJ
rvation leads me to believe that the
.rman- Americans will not vote for a
preciated currency, and that is what
-yan and the Democratic platform
can"
DR.. H. NJ. Starkloff, another well,
lown citizen of German birth, said:
am going to vote for Mckinley, and
all do all in my power to insure his
ection. So far as my observation
es, / believe the Germans generally
ke that view of the case"
Mr.. Charles Nagel, whose intimate
lations with the German Americans
the city gives him exceptional OPP
rtunities for judging of their senti-
ects, said yesterday: In my judg-
ent, there will be no disaffection to
eak Of in the German vote. The sem
nent Of the citizens of German de-
emit Is, as it has always been, for
ind government. They will support
administration that promises and
sures prosperity and stability"
i shall support not only Mckinley
I the entire Republican ticket" said
dge G. A. Finkelburg. "The admin
ration OF President Mckinley has
en- wise one, worthy OF the conf
zee OF the American people, and de-
wing of their support. Further
IRE, the success of the Democratic
rty in the national election would
danger the sentiment which has been
med on the silver question, and
uld reopen the agitation for cheap
'ney."
Judge Leo Rassieur is not only a
pporter Of Mckinley, but an enthu-
site expansionist as we'll. He has
died the question In all its bearings,
has reached decision in the light
modern ideas. Judge Rassieur has
lde number of speeches supporting
Administration, and their hearty
option by audiences of German-Am-
cans shows that sentiments of pa
otlsm and common sense predomin-
among that class of citizens.
Yes, have heard it stated that dis
ectlon existed among the German
ierlcan voters" said Judge Rassieur
IL | have so far seen no evidence of
Those who I have found to disa-

'iably ascribed their feelings to per-

PRESIDENT Mckinley has walked

'geerous nation can encounter, dur
the period of war and reconstruc-
Tor the past year or two, and we
