DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL
CONGREsSMEN TAKE GOOD RE-
 PORTS TO WASHINGTON.
Messrs Clayton, Henry and Beall Say Bryan Will Carry Several Western States--ColoneI
 Herbert May Speak.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Democratic Congressmen on their way from the West to i'll appointments for speeches In Eastern States report party pros poets In the former sections as high ly encouraging. Not only do they feel confident that the Republicans will lose the next house of Representa- tives but that Bryan will carry several of the Western states essential to his success.
 In their stumping tours these mem- bers say that the enthusiasm out Vest for the Democratic ticket Is greater than they had any idea of The labor vote has undoubtedly cut loose from the Republican party in numbers great enough to make it certain that the Republicans will lose heavily in number of States and this is bound to result in substantial Dem- ocratie gains in the congressional dis triets.
 Among the Congressman who have come East to speak in the campaign are Representatives Clayton, of Ala bama and Henry and Beall, of Texas. All are positive Bryan will be elected.
 MT. Clayton insists that Ohio will be Democratic beyond doubt and he says that Nebraska is as safely Demo- cratic as Alabama and that Indiana. West Virginia and New York will be Democratic as surely as Missouri.

Have You Noticed,

Reader, how -roitly the Leaders of the Labor Trust york to gain more and more control over the liberties of the people7
 Do you realize they are aiming at absolute domination of the daily affairs of citizens?
 Do you think 1t would be safe to all low yourself to be gradually tied hand and foot until your inherited freedom and liberty wa taken from you? Have a look at their methods and draw your own conclusions.
 Threats are mode to City County, State and National officers and public men. either = defeat or violence for judges and jurors, and the number of citizens assaulted or murdered and property destroyed in an active Labor Trust year exceeds by far the amount of violence which ever occurred in any one year during pro-slaveRy days. The black man was not his own master. The present day union man is not. He must quit when the Labor Trust leader "orders." Involuntary idleness is no less deplorable than involuntary servi- tude.
 The disobedient black man was at times driven with a whip. back to his work The disobedient union" man has. in thousands cases, been driv- en away from his work. with clubs. missiles, revolvers. and knives; assault ed. slugged unconscious. maimed for life or murdered. Or perhaps his steps dogged for weeks, he and his family subjected to insults innumerable homes destroyed and property blown up The most damnable cruelty and brutality that hate could devise and rufian outlaws execute has been put upon American workmen, who have dared to disobey the orders" of the Labor Trust ) aders.
 There were above 5000 citizens as saulted in ore city CChicago) during one strike (the teamsters) and many men crippled for life. Some 12 or IA were wilfully murdered outright and yet there have been but few convictions and trifing if any punishment.

Impudent Pretence.

The Labor rust leaders proclaim peaceful intent and publicly decry vio- lence. Such bare faced assertions as that of the President of the American Federation of Labor that "Organized Labor Is one of the most potent faetors for the preservation of peace" is only interesting as an illustration of the extreme impudence of these lead CTS with most terrible record of criminal procedure behind them It lately became public that this Trust expended upwards of $150, ,00OO0 to de- fend its members in the Haywood Mover trial, securing acquittal by a Tact that the judge who presided at the trial announced afterward that the tes- tlmony duplicating the members of the Labor Trust in the deeds of Vio- lence was in his opinion true.
 The Labor Trust shouts for the pub lie ear. and winks in another direct lon while 1t finds 1t necessary to rush to the support of it's criminal mem bers. in order to keep up the work"
 Without certainty of protection the slugger would quickly become discour> aged. The victims of the Labor Trust dare not publicly protest even If he lives through the entertainment by the "entertainmI nit committee" and the wives, widows and children have no way to bring their wrongs to the pub- lie ear. The poorhouse may take care of some and the streets Of some but the suffering, terror and agony put upon the children, wives and widows of in- dependent workingmen Is known only to themselves and their God and no one seems to have the humanity or bravery to speak In their defense.
 Thousands of individual members of organized labor have hearts as tender as can be found in all human nature, but they seem powerless in the iron grasp of impudent and desperate ty- rants who hold them bound and who extort from them not only money but 'obedience' and bring reproach on the very name of Labor. ,/

San Francisco, Cal. Oct Is.-Ser. vian residents of San Francisco and vi. cinity tonight assembled in a mass meeting at Golden Gate Hall. to inaug- urate a movement in support of the independence of Bosnia and Herze- govina, the provinces recently annexed to Austria. Resolutions already su- dorsed by the Servian Club dcnouncing Austria ps a tyrannical oppressor, will be submitted for approval and 1t is probable that there will be a call for volunteers to enlist in case of a war in the Balkans.
 Women of the Servian colony have taken active part in the movement as matters have progressed to such an ex- tent that Ser''ian bands are being or ganized in several coast cities by for mer officers of the Austrian and Mon tenegran armies.
