He Urges Supporters of Bryan to Show Their Colors. General Harrison closed the first day of his second Indiana tour at Fort Wayne, where he spoke briefly, at 8 o'clock last evening. At Anderson he said in part: “We are hearing a good deal in this cam- paign about coercion, and it has seemed to me that we have a fair illustration of it here this morning. These thousands of people, their intelligent and interested faces, their cheers and enthusiasm, are the t ble refutation of the suggestion that our people are being coerced.

It is not good advice. It is advice that does not recognize the indepen- dent manhood and individual worth of the men who toil in these great factories. I say to you as a republican who believes that your interest Is to be found in the maintenance of republican principles and in the election of William McKinley, that if the reasons I advance for this faith and that have been advanced by others more able te sent them, do not convince your intellect that it is to your interest to do so.

FOR SREACH OF PROMISE. A Verdict of $4,500 Given Robinson. A Jury in the supreme court returned a verdict at New York Wednesday awarding Bertha Robinson of Chicago $4,500 dam- ages from David Wiesenberger of New York for breach of promise of mar- riage. The plaintiff sued for $50,000. She claimed that she met the defendant while visiting in New York In the winter of 1893- 9% and they became engaged; the wedding was set for May 15, 1804, and she pur- chased an elaborate trousseau at consider- eble expense and made other preparations for wedding. The defendant pleaded that he had become bethrothed under false representations, and that instead of moving in high social circles in Chicago, Miss Rob- imson's family were beneath him in standing; that her parents had been di- vorced, and that her uncle had a bad record. Counsel for Wiesenberger asked a stay of ninety days in which to appeal from the verdict.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN Ss The following interesting letter on the political outlook in Texas, from Charles Hedges, the well-known newspaper writer, was received yesterday by a prominent re- publican in the city. Early in the cam- paign Mr. Hedges was attached to the re- publican national headquarters at Chicago, but when the national committee deter- mined to make a fight for the Texas elec- toral vote, J. N. Huston of Indiana and Mr. Hedges, because of their experience, were selected by Chairman Hanna to go to Texas and aid in the conduct of the campaign. Mr. Hedges, who is a citizen of Texas, was chesen secretary of the re- publican plenary committee, which fs a body peculiar to the politics of Texas, and has supreme control in all party affairs, even over the state executive and cam- paign comimttees. His explanation of the plan of fusion and forecast of the result not only has a news interest at this time, but may be regarded as a semil-official statement of the situation from a repub- lican standpoint. “DALLAS, Tex., October 26, 1896. “The campaign in Texas is now at a white heat, and it is not rash to predict t the country will be treated to a sur- prise when the returns from the lone star state come in, about November 5. The free silver democrats centinue to claim the state, but not with any great degree of confidence. Before the republicans opened their campaign the democrats confidently placed their plurality at 150,000 on the Bryan and Sewall electoral ticket. At the present writing they have shaded their fig- ures to less than 50,000, and some of their leaders are known to place their plurality as low as 15,000, which would amply sat- isfy them, so desperate does the outlook seem. Populists and Republicans. “Only within the past ten days have the democrats begun to seriously realize the danger of their losing the state, and many evidences of their fright are coming to the surface. The defection of the sound money vote is causing consternation in the free silver camp. As reports from over the state come in to the sound money and re- publican headquarters, {t is clear that this sound money vote is going to far exceed any ca'culations that were made a month ago. The sound money leaders then esti- mated their vote at about 50,000, whereas now they are confidently claiming at least $0,000, two-thirds of which will be cast for the McKinley and Hobart electors, and the remainder for the Palmer and Buckner ticket. The much-talked-of fusion between the republicans and the populists has re- sulted entirely different from what was expected a month ago. At that time every- bedy was predicting that the two parties would agree upem a fusion ticket of presi- de (lal electors, with about ten republican mes and five populists. This was the plan which the free silver democratic lead- ers heralded through their organs was going to be adopted, but no such plan was ever seriously contemplated either by the republicans or the populists. The so-called fusion is of an entirely different character. It is, in brief, nothing more nor less than a pping of votes upon election day be- tween the populists and the republicans as individuals. Each party has out a full presidential electoral ticket, but the 200,000 populist voters of the state, from all re- ports, take but little interest in the welfare of their candidates, Bryan and Watson. On the other hand, they are manifesting the greatest interest in the election of their State ticket, headed by Jerome C. Kearby, a prominent attorney of Dallas, What They Want. “The populists desire to secure possession of the state government. This result is necessary to the preservation of their or- ganization. They cannot possibly elect their state ticket without the assistance of republican voters, and the republicans, having no state ticket of their own, are openly and earnestly supporting the Kear- by ticket, and every indication points to the defeat of the Culberson state ticket. Now, in return for this aid, given at a critical period in their history, what is more natural than that the populists should support the republican electoral. ticket? This is what their 4,000 precinct leaders have been requested to do. The fusion, therefore, is likely to prove far more ef- fective than though a combination ticket had been agreed upon, for in that case fully 70,000 of the populists would have gone back into the old democratic party. As it 1s, it 1s estimated that fully sev- enty-five per cent of the populist vote will go to the McKinley electors, which, when added to the 100,000 straign* resublican votes and 50,000 sound mcney democrat votes, will readily assure a plurality of from 30,000 to 50,000 for the McKinley elec- tors. The Bryan and Sewall vote, it ts es- timated by republican leaders, will scarce- ly exceed 175,000. The vote for Bryan and Watson will be about 50,000, which is twen- ty-five per cent of the populist vote, and it is estimated that the Palmer and Buckner vote will reach about 15,000. These results, as above said, would result in the election of the McKinley ticket, which Chairman Green is confidently predicting. Birthplace of Populism, ‘The character of the populist party in Texas is but poorly understood outside of the staie. Ii should be borne in mind that the people's party of the United States had its birth here in the city of Dailas, and had its origin in antagonism to the democratic party, through disgust of democratic prin- ciples and distrust of democratic leaders. Its training school was the Farmers’ Alli- ance, which also had its birth in Texas in a little farm house near the town of Dub- in, in Erath county. This Farmers’ Alli- ance had a wonderfully rapid growth, and was an organization of education, holding weckly metings in every oue of its many lodges, and their discussions and delibera- tions were secret. The people’s party has inherited not only the principles of the alliance, but its method of organization, and while no longer secret, yet the secret work of the alllance has left an indelible impression upon the people's party of Texas, which is, to all intents and purposes, a lodge organization, as perfect as the Tammany organization, and hence all their voters can be easily and directly reached. Herein lies the strength of the peculiar fu- sion that has taken place. E “In brief, the success of the McKinley electoral ticket in Texas depends absolute- ly upon getting at least 50 per cent of the populist vote, and, on the other hand, the success of Gubernatorial Candidate Kearby depends absolutely upon republican ald. The result of his fusion plan is doubtless being looked forward to with the keenest interest throughout the entire country. Election re- turns, however, will be slow in coming in, as the distances are very great and facili- ties poor as compared with the north and east. “Only nine cities In the state have the Australian ballot system, and these cities represent only about 70,000 votes out of an expected 300,000. Therefore, the returns from these nine cities, which will be the earliest, may not accurately indicate the real result, as the heavy populist vote is in the country precincts. —_—_— The Fanciulli Testimonial. ‘The first rehearsal of the big chorus which fs to sing at the testimonial concert to be tendered Prof. Fanciulli at Conven- tion Hall November 11, will take place Monday evening at Carroll Institute Hall at 8 o'clock.

EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1896—TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES. 11 LAST WEE FRIGHT IN TENNESSEE. McKinley May Have « Plerality of From 2,000 to 16,000 There. Correspondence of The Evening Star. MEMPHIS, October 29, 1896. Leading politicians here declare that Bryan's flying trip through Tennessee did more harm than’ good. In this district his interference in the congressional contest has cost him a few thousand votes. He is the only prominent free silver man who has been through the state, whereas the sound money democrats have had Messrs. Cockran, Fellows and others, in addition to able home talent. The free silver cause has been badly managed, but the leaders contend that :t is ell right, and that the state is sure to go for Bryan. When asked for specifications, they decline to give any; and The Star correspondent is more than ever inclined to think that Tennessee will be a surprise to the country. It is a fact, not a surmise, that the chairman of the state democratic committee is thoroughly alarmed over the situation, and that he is now calling on sound money democrats to help out the democratic nominee and the Chicago candidates. The meeting at the Auditorium Monday night, at which Bourke Cockran spoke, was enough to frighten the Bryanites. It was the greatest political meeting ever held in Memphis, and the distinguished New York orator had a much larger audience than had Bryan on an open lot in the suburbs. It was moreover a meeting almost entirely in sympathy with the speaker. Col. Fellows was present, after having made a number of speeches in Tennessee, and he gave it as the result of his observation throughout the state that Bryan would lose the elec- toral vote of Tennessee. Examining the state by districts, it will be found that there is little encouragement for the democrats in the outlook. ‘The first district will give McKinley a plurality of 10,000 over Bryan. About this there will be no dispute. The second district ought to give him a plurality of at least 15,000. It is easy enough to present reasons for it. In the August election for judges of the chancery court of appeals, the republicans in this dis- trict gave a majority of about 15,000 for their candidates. If the congressional con- test of two years ago there were two re- publican candidates who polled a vote of about 30,000, there being no democrat in the race at all. A plurality of 15,000 is therefore a moderate and safe estimate. In the third district, in the August elec- tion the democrats had about 500 votes the better of the republicans, but two years ago the latter elected their Congress- man by a plurality of 3,072. There are a great many democrats in Chattanooga who are going to vote for McKinley, and the republican plurality of two years ago ts apt to be duplicated. The probabilities are that McKinley will carry the third district by 3,000 plurality. Two years ago, in the fourth district the democrats elected a Congressman by @& plurality of 1,833; this year their plurality, will probably reach 2,500. In the fifth district the democratic plural+ ity In 1894 was 1,897. It will be 2,000 this year. Yn the sixth district Joe Washington, sound money democrat, was elected two years ago by a plurality of 6,436. This year the chances are about even. In the seventh district the democrats will probably increase their normal plurality of 00 up to 3,000. ° In the eighth district, now representedhy @ republican, who had a plurality of 821, the democrats will probably show up 1,006 stronger than the republicans. In the ninth the democrats had 2,651 the better of the populists and republicans two years ago, but, as the democratic nominee this year is just out of the ranks of popu- lism, and the republicans and. populists have fused in this district, the democrats will just about maintain their lead, and will probably have a majority of 2,500. In the tenth district, where the sound money men have a club now of over 6,000 members, Bryan and McKinley will run a neck-and-neck race, with the chances that Bryan will carry it by 1,000 plurality. By grouping these estimates in tabular form, the following result is reached: Pluralitics, McKinley. First district 10,000 Be Bryan. Ninth distric Totals... .. entenctic esses 28,000 This would give the state to McKinley by a plurality of about 16,000. Even, how- ever, should the sound money districts—the 12,008 aixth and the tenth—give their norma? democratic majorities, 6,500 and 8,500, for Bryan, which ts entirely out of the ques- tion, McKinley would still have a plurality of 2,000 in the state. But, as a matter of fact, the sound money democrats here have been solidified in their determination to vote for McKinley by the Carlisle episode at Covington, and the visits here of men like Cockran, Fellows and Buckner. the day of election approaches It is evident that the free silver managers are badly scared. ———__ KANSAS IN DOUBT. A Majority of 2,000 to 5,000 Expected for McKinley. Correspondence of The Evening Star. INDEPENDENCE, Kan., October 29, 1898. Sixty days ago it was expected that be- fore now the situation in this state would clear up somewhat, so one might judge as to the final outcome with some degree of certainty, but such is not the case. Both sides have polled the state, after a thor- cugh and energetic canvass, and both are claiming it, just as they did in July and August. After visiting the headquarters of the republican and fusion state com- mittees and talking with the men who are managing the campaign on both sides, one comes away with only one thing settled in his mind, and that is that Kansas has been correctly set down as doubtful. : And yet, while al! predictions are largely guesswork, the drift has seemed to favor the republicans for the two wecks past, and among the more careful and conserva- tive observers there appears to be a grow- ing opinion that the republican state ticket will be elected by from 5,000 to 10,000 and that McKinley will carry the state by a small majority of 2,000 to 5,000. _ The rule, of course, has been that the presidential candidate runs ahead of the state ticket, but this year a good many silver republicans express a purpose to vote the republican state ticket and local tickets, while voting with the popocrats on President and Congressmen. Hence, the prediction that McKinley will fall behind the vote for governor in Kansas. As to Congressmen the republicans feel certain that Broderick in the first and Curtis in the fourth district will be re- elected by safe majorities, and that proba- bly Harris will win in the second. Blue, it is hoped, will pull through with the elec- toral ticket. Long in the seventh district appears confident of beating Jerry Simpson, while Kirkpatrick in the third and Calder- head in the fifth are fighting hard, as ts also Ellis in the sixth. But outside the first, second and fourth districts, nobody can tell the result till the votes are cast and count- ed. Watson’s visit to Kansas, a month or more ago, and his fight against the fuston here on Bryan and Sewall, has stirred up considerable feeling among middle of the road populists, which promiges to help the republicans to some extent, While the sound money democrats are quite active, and will in a measure offset the republican loss on the silver question. In fact, the silver ques- tion, which overshadowed al lothers in the beginning of the campaign, is not now a! tracting s0 much attention, and the repul licans have certainly succeeded in pushing the question of the tariff to the front, with apparent advantage to their cause. This is a noticeable feature of the campaign dis- cussions, and seems to give substani ground for the hope expressed by repun- Neans that they will carry the state. This is also reinforced by recent manifestations. It is, by all odds, the most singular cam- paign ever seen in Kansas in some and certainly there is tacky eve ell sisng ‘eed cies Ui in the doubtful list, when we rememinn thet is rd ¥ ATA A sine ~ CAMPAIGN politics, Kentucky ivering @emotracy, luge of radical re- memory of all these years, own is said to be posite. poles.of : the Gibraltar un} 2nd Kansas the, publicanism, where Lane has been and the soul of John still marching on: a OREGON FOR: McKINLEY Ex-Minister Hirsch Says There .Oan Be.

There is no denying the fact that the result of the élection in Oregon is to be decided by the vote of Multnomah county. That both partles'are of this mind is evi- denced by the work donz-and the program outlined for the city of Portland and vicin- ity. The popocrats will strain every nerve to reduce the natural republican majority in this county to a minimum, and to that end the‘entire machinery of the city gov- ernment will be devoted, as the republicans say, to a policy of obstruction and intimida- tion-at the polls. It is generally believed by them that no practicable means, how- ever desperate, will be spared to swell the Bryan vote at the various polling places in this city. An organization has been per- fected by which a well considered and sys- tematic plan of campaign will be carried out. The various parties sailing under the Bryan colors have reached a harmonious understanding and have delegated to Jona- than Bourne, jr., control of the Bryan cam- paign in this city and county. Plenipoten- tlary powers have been delegated to him by the chairmen of the several campaign committees of the opposition, and Mr. Bourne himself brings to the combination all the authority and enthusiasm of the silver republicans who have bolted the St. Louis platform. To Mr. Bourne. Mayor Pennoyer has given carte blanche for the appointment of policemen and firemen, and has placed at his disposal the entire pat- ronage of the city government. He has likewise empowered him to enter jnto such negotiations as he may see fit with any one and every one.who might be instrumental } in securing: votes for the Bryan electors.

Mr. Bourne was elected a representative in the legisla- ture at the June election as a Mitchell republican. _ His first move in the sena- torial contest will be to secure his election as speaker of the house, and failing in this to name the man who will be chosen. In this the popocratic leader may not be successful, for the canvass made in his behalf has not, it is sald, been productive of good results. The republican members of the next legisiature, who are in a ma- jority, do not take kindly to 2 man who, elected as a republican, is now employed in trying to encompass the defeat of that party, and who is an open advacate of the election of Bryan for President. The admission by some of the more con- servative republicans that Bryan will prob- ably have 2,000 majority outside of the city of Portland has given rise to the rumor that the republican leaders have conceded the election of Bryan. Sol Hirsch, ex- minister to Turkey and chairman of the re- publican state central committee, said to- day, when this rumor was repeated to im: “I consider Oregon won for McKinley. It is entirely out of the doubtful list of states and placed in the McKinley column.

IN THE COLUMN OF DOUBT. North Carolina Confidently Claimed by Both Sides. Correspondence of The. Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., October 29. It remained for the last week.in the cam- paign in North Carolina to develop its greatest sensation—one which is of an un- paralleled character. Tuesday night Will- jam A. Guthrie, who had all during his campaign defied the populist committee as the “machine” of the party, issued an ad- dress. In this he said: “Will you now, on the eve of the election, desert your party flag and the principles you profess to love? Will you be allured into the camp of Mark Hanna and politi- cally slaughtered? I refuse to believe it, and will not be convinced to the contrary until your vote shalt be counted and re- turned. Will you take the earnest advice and listen to this last appeal of him whom you honored with your confidence at our Jast state convention by nominating me as your choice for the office of governor? Will you fail to vote for each and every elector on the Bryan presidential ticket? Will you vote for a goldbug to represent you in the next Congress of the United States? Will you throw away your votes for a Congressman upon populist ‘decoys’ in the fifth and ninth congressional districts and thereby help to elect goldbugs instead of free silver Congressmen in those districts? Will you vote for members for the general assembly pledged to support SenatorPritch- ard or any other goldbug republican for a seat in the Senate of the United States? Have you forgotten so soon the principle laid down at your state convention only two years ago relating to a non-partisan judiciary? Are you mindful of the fact that if you vote for Col. Douglas for su- preme court judge you will do so in direct violation of that principle and give to the republican party three members out of five ef the supreme court justices?” This aroused the wrath of the populist committee, and the chairman of the latter, against whom Guthrie's attack was plainly directed, sat up all night to answer the ad- dress with a counter blast. ‘This was is- sued last night. It is long and exceedingly bitter. Here are some extracts: “The first three lines of the address con- vey a gross and unpardonable insult to ihe ‘peopie’s party state committee, and every member of the party who sympathizes with the efforts the committee has made and the course it has pursued. It would be superfluous here to recite the co-operative arrangements which the state committee, dy virtual authority of the state conven- tion, has entered into with other political parties. One of them is a co-operation with the republican party on state and con- gressional tickets. This ig referred to by Major Guthrie in these ‘words: ‘Allured into the camp of Mark Hanna and politi- is..far, a; Marion.county man. Elder Batic + cally slaughtered.’ And after this outrage- ous insult, which every true populist in the state will avenge in some way, the address turns into a disgraceful and disgusting plea for the people’s party to walk into the pdemocratic party and be swallowed. “Much more might be said concerning this astonishing address, but its full pur- pose and meaning can safely be left to the insight and comprehension of the members of the party. They will easily understand that it comes with bad grace and gra- ‘tuitous impertinence for their gubernatorial nominee to advise the ‘scraiching’ of the party ticket on which his own name ap- ‘pears, and waich name can be as easily ‘scratched’ as any other. “To briefly summarize the unauthorized surrender by Major Guthrie to the demo- cratic party, there is this to say: “First. He vilely insults his party and the members of the state committee. “Second. He bolts the action of his state convention in certain cases; he bolts the action of his own congressional district convention, and also the action of his ju- dicial district convention. “Third. He pleads that populists will vote for democrats, but nowhere pleads that a pepulist shall vote for a populist. “Fourth. He declares he cares nothing about the results of the greatest compli- ment and honor that the people's party state convention could bestow on any man, and this gives the members of the party a full right to care nothing about what be- comes of him. “For these and other reasons which there is now neither time nor inclination to men-. ‘tion, it is the calm and candid opinion of the state chairman that Major Guthrie has forfeited all right to the confidence of the members of the people’s party. He is, how- ever, still the party nominee, and his name will appear on all the tickets-issued from People’s party state headquarters. “A firm conviction of the state chairman is that the course of Major Guthrie has been such as will make it impossible for } him to receive the suffrage of the full mem- |.bership of the people's party, and here ia advance of election day it is declared that the number of votes cast for Maj. Guthrie, as the people’s party nominee for governor, must not and cannot be accepted as an in- dication of people's party strength.” The democratic state committee is cir- culating an enormous number of the Guth- rie address, while the republican committee is sending out ihe populist state chairman’s reply. The democratic papers today were full of attacks on the populist state chairman, signed by populists. Some of these charge him with selling out the party for the of- fice of auditor, to which republicans and populists have nominated him. The chair- man sald today: “The people who ere rep- resented as populists, and who attack me, are either men who are paid to do so with mean whisky, or else were tempted by the democrats with offices.” The three parties are keeping their elec- tion tickets in secret. The populists are making great delay in sending them out. The republican state chairman says: “You can state that I think Russell, our nominee for governor, will get a majority. Of McKiniey’s carrying the state, I have now no doubt. The democratic and populist state chair- men stated to Chairman Campau that Bry- an would carry the state by 30,000. 7 populist state chairman doesn’t believe ii, however. He declines to give any figures. Populist committeemen say that Guthrie will get a very light populist vote. All he loses Russell will gain, they add. Republicans offer large odds that Bry. on possibly get all the electors in this state. —_———_ A PECULIAR PENNSYLVANIA TRADE. Two Republican Congressmen to Be Slaughtered for Candidate Crow. Correspondence of The Evening Star. HARRISBURG, October 29, 1896. Advices from the nineteenth congres- sional district are to the effect that Hollar, the republican candidate from Cumberland county, will be defeated by Benner of York, @ democrat, who has a large personal following. Hollar defeated Col. Stahle, the prezent Congressman, and the only re- publican who ever carried the district, and Stahle has sworn vengeance. Efforts have been made to placate him and his friends, but they will not have it, and Benner, the democrat, will certainly be elected unless there is a very radical change in the next couple of days. News also comes that “Farmer” Kulp, in the Columbia district, the first republican from that district, is also marked for the kmife, the democratic candidate having made large inroads on his independent fol- lowing. State Chairman Garman, who is the democratic nominee for Congress in the Luzerne district, says he is going to win, and is very hopeful. It ts said here that the democratic state chairman has recently received a large sum of money to put into the close congressional districts, and it must be said that there is an air of cheerfulness about the democratic state headquarters here that was lacking pre- vious to the making public of the story. The money is said te have been aubscribed by the friends of Crow, the independent ‘candidate for sheriff in Philadelphia, and in return for ths hard cash the democrats are to cast their votes for Crow. it is certain that up to the time Crcw was nom- inated money was very scarce, both here and in Philadelphia. Crow is a protege of Quey’s, and helped fight the combine, led by Dave Martin, last year. He was beaten in the sheriff's convention two to one, but that only served as an excurse to bolt. ‘The Crow bolt, and the money given democratic state chairman, Bryan cause at least state, and may ful congressional crats. USELESS HARMONY Louisiana Republicans Come Together Eight Days Behind Time. THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES Outlook Better for Them Than for Presidential Candidates. OUND MONEY DEMOCRATS pe Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW ORLEANS, La., October 26, 1806. To all intents and purposes, the warring republican factions of this state have em- braced, but harmony came too late to en- able them to have the combine tickets on the official ballot. Therefore, as the bal- lots will be presented to the voters, they will be the same as if no harmony had been effected. Peremptory orders were received by the leaders of both factions to come together. They wrangled over the terms, and finally, after a good deal of bickering, agreed to this: The new re- publieans, through Capt. Donnally, the chairman of the executive committee, were to pull down their electoral ticket and sup- pert the regular electoral ticket, composed of seven white men and one negro, and the regulars were to pull down all their can- didates for Congress, Livaudalis in the first, Wicker in the second and Maher in the third, and support. the new republican nominees, Romain, Legendre and Beattie. When the compact was signed and sealed they hired a special train to go to Baton Rouge, ninety miles away, to pull down the names agreed on. They understood that they had until 5 o'clock on that day to withdraw any names desired, and that was the reason they hired a special train. They left at half-past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and made the run in cighty minutes, only to find out that the time had expired about eight days before, according to the new law. The secretary of state would make no allowances, and they re- turned to the city disconsolate. Fighting for Congressmen. Then Romain and Legendre filed suits for Mandamus agajnst the board of supervis- ors in this city to compel them to give the white republicans representation at the polls. This caused a hitch in the arrange- ment of an address to be issued by the two executive committees jointly, urging the voters to vote for the tickets agreed on in the harmony plan. The suits were put off from day to day, and finally yesterday, weary of waiting for the hearing of the cases in court, they issued their address. It is a matter of doubt whether the new republicans gained anything by the sacrifice they made. They have recanted their boasted principle that it was a white man’s movement, and there- by lost a good many white supporters, who, while they may not go over into the Bryan camp, wifi not fight for the success of the republican tickets. On the other hand, they have gained probably a few negroes, who could not be controlled by the democrats, and do not amount to any- thing as a factor in the result, for they already had a large following of the re- spectablennegroes. 5, -. The excuse given for this is that they had no hope of carrying the state for Mc- Kinley, knowing very well the election methods to be used in the country parishes, and, therefore, they thought it wise to strengthen their candidates for Congress as much as possible. It is an open secret that many of Mr. Howell's state committee are yery much dissatisfied with Capt. Don- nally’s compromise, but they cannot afford to repudiate it, thereby endangering the success of their congressional candidate: and possibly estranging a good many negroes who are friendly to them. Expect to W In the meantime, Romain, Legendre, Beattie and Duson are making an aggres- sive campaign, and it might also be said an effective one. If there was the slightest show for a fair count there is no doubt that Louisiana would send four republicans to Congress. The best chance for a fair count-is in the third district, where the re- publicans are in control of several of tre parish governments, and are also so strong that they can enforce a fair deal. That is the sugar district. Judge Beattle is an ag- gressive man, and will make a hard fight. It seems to be generally conceded, except by the extreme silverites, that he will land. Duson has been making rapid strides in the sixth district, where he was a power before he espoused republicanism. This district is largely populated with a class known here as *’Cadians,” generally illiterate, ignorant people, who place great contidence in Du- son, and they will stand by him. He is also making an effective use of his record in the state. convention last December, when he made a fight for silver, and was downed by Sam Robertson, his present op- pcnent, who has been on the fence on the silver. question. Now Robertson is trying to make them believe that he is a silver man, but Duson is pulling his record on tem. Duson is reaily a bimetailist, and stands on the republican platform of bi- metallism by international agreement. There is little or no hope for the two popu- list pominees in the northern part of the state. Sound Money Democra: The sound money democrats are making an effective campaign in south Louisiana, thus indirectly aiding the republicans. They have put out no candidate except an elec- toral ticket, which will hardly poll more than five thousand votes in the whole state. Generals Palmer and Buckner spoke here recently, but there were many silverites in the audience, and they made themselves decidedly objectionable. They started off by shouting for Bryan, and endeavoring to interrupt and break up the meeting, but the local people in charge had fureseen this, and stationed fifty policemen in the crowd, and after half a dozen hoodlums had been jerked off their feet, the silver ehouters subsided. Gen. Palmer made a very good impression on the crowd by his ready an- swers to questions. One man, who pro- claimed himself a silverite, asked him sev- eral questions, which he answered readily, and then the questioner announced his con- version to the cause of sound money. The meeting, which was a pretty large one, had a very good effect here for sound money, but it also showed that there would not be many votes cast for the Indianapolis nomi- nees. Silver Victory Claimed. The silverites are making a pretty hot campaign in the city, and in the third dis- trict, while Sam Robertson, the congress- fonal nominee in the sixth district. has his hands full chasing Duson around. Chair- man Cunningham of the state democratic campaign committee. claims that the state will give Bryan 50,000 majority, while they will also elect six free silver Congressmen. if they have discovered the secret of ma- n:pulating the new ballots, watch they no aay have, there is no doubt his claim is Chairman Howell of the republican state central committee claims that they will elect at least three Congressmen, and if they get a square deal, four. If they do this, it will mark a new era in politics in Louisiana, and may result in the estab- lishment on a permanent basis of a white republican party, which can ceriainly carry the state any time if they once get a chance.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina will not be side-tracked. The national, state and city committees declined his services at Chicago, fearing his incendiary speeches, but he invaded the stockyards district and spoke to a frantic crowd at 42d and Union streets Thursday night. He sai “The goldbug newspapers report that the men who are supporting Bryan—they charge, I would prefer to say—that the men who are supporting Bryan are opposed to law and order, and desire to overturn the government, array the poor against the rich, and take from them what they have honestly earned. (Applause.) That is not true, and you know it 1s not true: you have no such desire or aspiration. None of us have, and I come to you from South Caro- lina to let you see and know and under- stand that We reach our hands out and say to you: ‘We are all Americans. (Applause.) We are all equal, and, so help us God, we intend to assert our manhood and’ our rights.’ (Applause.) “They call me an anarchist. I am proud of the name. (A voice: “You're all right.”) ‘They call any man an anarchist who does not crawl on his knees to lick the crumbs that fall from their tables. (Applause.) They cail any man an anarchist who stands up and declares that all men are born free and equal and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. ‘They called Jef- ferson an anarchist in his day; they called Jackson an anarchist in his day: they called Lincoln an anarchist in 1860—i mean the southern slaveholders did. “I have seen the time when I was such a partisan, so blinded to the right and wrong as far as party was concerned, that It did not matter who was nominated on the dem- ocratic ticket, I would vote for him. I have seen the time when I would have voted for a yellow dog if they put him on the ticket. (Laughter.)

(Appiause.) . Now, they say we appeal to class preju- dice; that we are endeavoring to array the poor against the rich. What are they try- ing to do?

(Applause.) “My friends, the cry that the republican party should be put in power today because the democrats have been in power the last four years is false. Cleveland has been a better republican than Harrison ever dared to be. Cleveland followed the policy dic- tated by Harrison and John Foster, and McKinley stands pledged to continue that policy.” ——Ee“ REAR PLATFORM SPEECHES. Candidate Bryan Spent Yesterday 1 Wisconsin. Democratic Candidate Wm. J. Bryan yesterday made speeches ai Green Bay, Depere, Kaukauna,Appleton, Neenah, Men asha, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Chester, Ju- neau, Watertown, Jefferson, Fort Atkin- son, Janesville, Evansville and Madison, Wis. None of the speeches was of more. than thirty minutcs’ duration, except those which were made at night at Madison. All exccpt the Madison speech were de- livered from the rear platform of the silver nominee's special car. This arrangement proved of benefit to Mr. Bryan physically, saving him the wear and tear of making his way back and forth through immense crowds of people. From almost the begin- ning of the day's tour the train ran ahead of time, bringing Mr. Bryan into Madison so that he began his speech in advance of the hour scheduled for his appearance. Mr. Bryan left last night for Iowa. Be- ginning at Mount Pleasant at 7 o'clock this morning, he will speak in that state throughout the day. In the evening he will address an audience at Council Bluffs and probably two or three more at Omaha. ——_ +e+ ONE VOTE SAVED FROM BRYAN. ‘The Old Man Would Have Voted fox Anything Free.
