SURVEYING THE FIELD. 7 'The best summing up of the politi- cal situation and the chances for elec- tion of the two principal candidates tbat the Herald-Review has seen is made by the Washington Post, an independent and very able paper. The Post says that it must be very evident to intelligent observers of the campaign that Mr. Bryan’s one chance of elec- tion depends upon the hearty and en- thusiastic alliance between the demo- cratic and populistic ma: . In de- fault of such alliance he cannot pos- sibly carry California, Indiana, Illi- nois, Wisconsin. Michigan, Minone- sota or Iowa, to say nothing of Neb- raska, Kansas, Maryland, Kentucky and North Carolina. In default, thorefooe, of Democratic-Populistic fusion in all or most of the states named, McKinley will win by a hand- some majority. ‘Thusit happens that in making an estimate of the possi- Dilities, we are reduced to this con- sideration of the question and this alone. The Post says nobody expects Bryan to carry any of the New Eng- land states, or New York, New Jer- sey, Pensylvania or Ohio. The fol- lowing states may as well be conceded to McKinley at one Connecticut. Maine .. Massachusetts ee Seton Ohio Pennsylvania. Vermont. . | oe BSS expects McKinley to carry any of the southern states, with the possible ex- ception of West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky and North Carolina, The following states may, therefere, be t Rohookaack To these may be safely adde E comes Rercoccorm 30 making for Bryana grand total of 148. This disposes of 288 out of 447 votes which now constitute the electoral college. ‘To carry the election, a candidate must have 224 votes, and thus McKinley has yet to gain 84 and Bryan 76 votes out of the states that are in doubt, and chiefly so because of the uncertainty as to the consumma- tion of the genuine fusion already re- ferred to ass essential, between the Democrats and Populists. Should that fusion be effected with heartiness Mr. Bryan will very likely carry Kentucky B Kan 0 Neb 8 Indians 6B North Ca u Total... 87 This will bring up his vote to 205, leaving the battle ground in the ten states not yet accounted for. Maryland: Deliware West Vi | Eb Roacconl® & Thus we have— Bryan votes... 5 hicKinley vote re he The Post admits the doubtfulness of some of the states put in the bat-|{ tleground column. ‘They are confi- dently claimed by both sides, so that any estimate that classes them as un- Certain must displease both. The fact is, however, that most of them are doubtful — quite enough so to furnish Mr. Bryan with the 19 votes he needs, supposing the Post's figures as given above to be correct. And another fact not to be overlooked, is that fusion between the Democrats and Populists is as necessary to bryan in getting those 19 votes as it is anywhere else. The extravagant | and sometimes ridiculous Statements made by various campaign commit- tees need not be considered. ‘They are wholly unreliable and are sent out ply to keep up the campaign hur) Every fair-minded man will admit that the above estimates are warranted by a dispassionate and impartial analysis of the situation. to all such it will be apparent that McKinley’s chances in almost all Five ceitis. ceitts of the ten states assigned to the| doubtful column seem at present better thang Bryan’s, and yet, with only 19 votes needed to land him, and with a genuine fusion of Democrats and Populists at his back, the outlook for Bryan is by no means desperate. LINCOLN AND BRYAN, Abraham Lincoln was nominated at Chicago, as was William J. Bryan. Abraham -Lincoln was as toully tra- duced by a section of the press of the country as William J. Bryan is bein traduced today. Abraham Lincoln went to New York and, like Bryan, he was denounced by the metropolitan 8 | neck ties, newspapers and became the target forall the vile epithets which they could apply to him. Here is what the New York Herald of May 19, 1860, said of Abraham Lincoln: ‘The re- publicas convention at Chicago have nominated Abraham Lincoln of Tlilnois for president of the United States—a third-rate western lawyer, poorer even than poor Price. * * * The conduct of the Repulican party in this nomination is a remarkable instance of small intellect growing smaller. They pass over Seward,Chase and Banks, who are statesmen and able men, and they take up a forth- rate lecturer who cannot speak good grammer, and who, to raise the wind, delivers his hackneyed, illiterate com- position at $200 apiece. Our aeaders will recollect that this periptetic politician visited New York two or three months ago on his financial tour, when, in return for the most unmitigated trash interlaced with coarse and clumsy jokes, he filled his empty pockets with dollers coined out of Republican fanaticism.’’ Today the New York Herald and the other goldbug organs are calling William J. Bryan a fanatic, a repudiationist, a man of small intellect and: a dema- gogue. But Abraham Lincoln was elected, in spite of the metropolitian press, which derided and denounced him. And William J. Bryan will be elected by an equally overwhelming majority, in spite of the bitter and unfair denunciations of the goldbug press. Like Lincoln, he is beloved by the people. In him they recognize a great leader, who has sprung from among themselves to carry on the great battle against the gold syndicates, the trusts and the combines.—Duluth Herald. A Political Family. He said thst his family was mixed as to politics. He was for sound money, his wife was for silver, and the hired girl stood up for the copper op that beat.
