IUTdT ..
Mr. Bryan lately has received in
formation from confidential and trust
worthy sources that the situation in
Idaho is not as hopeless as it is gem
orally regarded in the other two Nor
mon states of Utah and Wyoming. 1t
is conceded without argument that he
cannot hope to get the three Electoral
votes of Utah and Wyoming unless the
rulers of the Mormon Church should
become convinced within the next
week or 10 days that the Democratic
party is going to win the election, in
which event the politicians acquainted
with the peculiar condition in those
two states do not doubt that he would
carry them both.

BRYAN 5 FRIENDS
ANALYLE VOTE
States Which viii Give Him
Victory.

dispatch from Lincoln, Neb.. to
the New York Herald is as follows.
THE prospect of his election to the
Presidency as viewed from the stand
point of William J. Bryan is here
given for the first time. 1t represents
an ultra-conservative analysis of the
actual situation as viewed from the
Bryan standpoint today, and embodies
the Judgment of men here closest to
the candidate. The forecast takes no
account of the possibilities of a
Bryan landslide, which many of his
intimates believe is impending.
The tabulation was submitted to
two men with whom probably the
candidate talks more freely and frank
ly than with any other men in the
United States, Thomas S. Allen, Mr..
Bryans brother-in-law and Chairman
of the Nebraska Democratic State
Committee, and Richard L. Metcalfe,
editor of Mr.. BPyan's newspaper, the
Commoner Both of them approved
this tabulation with only one reserva-
tion-the possibility of landslide.
1T will be observed that this bed
rock estimate gives to Mr.. Bryan con-
ffdently the 106 votes of the Solid
South, which includes the votes of
Maryland and the 10 votes of Mis-
souri,. 1t also gives to him only
10 Electors west of the Missouri
River, being those of Nebraska, s:
Colorado 5; Montana 3; and Nevada 8.
Thus he is given, 'iron-c1ad' 1856,
of the 242 votes necessary for his
election. This leaves the Democratic
candidate 81 shy of the goal
Gives Him 213 Votes
Beyond the shadow of doubt it is
believed by his friends here he will
get both Wisconsin and Indiana,
bringing his assured strength in the
Electoral College up to 213, or 29l
short of the required number
Reduced to table these figures

culiarly gratified if he should win the
contest this time without receiving a

They contend that this would adj
minister a salutary lesson to the East,
