Show I Tim MORNINGS LIOIT31RS II The letters published this morning from Utah men who serve The Herald at the front in the capacity of special I commissioners will be found of much Interest Mr Varians report from Ohio is decidedly encouraging and it Is i I apparent that he has studied the situation situ-ation very closely I the claim stated I by him as being made respecting Harrison Har-rison county hould beymalntainec throughout the state the Democrats would make a total gain of about 100000 over the figure of last year That would give Bryan a majority of 10000 Of course that is a very slim peg to hang an estimate upon but it tallies with those coming from other sources as to the status in other parts of the state Mr Varian states that the Republican Repub-lican national committee is hurrying its speaker back into the state That is more significant even than the figures furnished The Republicans have kept those states crowded with canvassers and wherever the committee is found concentrating its strength it may be understood that it has found weakness in its lines But the most interesting feature of the letter is the lucid explanation or the manner in which coercion is practiced prac-ticed among miners railroad men and other workmen Mr Varian makes i clear that this method of campaigning has been widely resorted to and he also shows how simple it Is for those engaging in it to make their wishes known Mr Evans Ifttter from Chicago is also of absorbing interest He very plainly states the uncertainty prevailing prevail-ing with respect to Illinois From his letter we may understand that every foot of that state is fighting ground The intensity of he contest is reflected by the statement respecting the number num-ber of political meetings held in Chicago Chi-cago last Sunday I is astonishing to hear that six hundred or seven hundred such meetings occurred in a single city In one day The closing paragraph of Mr Evans letter throws a strong light upon the patriotism of the Chicago banks They refuse to pay out gold sending the coin to hs government in exchange for currency cur-rency in order to avoid another bdnd I issue and they will continue this policy until after the election I Mr Stephens writes most enconrag I ingly from Nebraska He is satisfied I the state Is safe and those who read I his letter will agree with him > u I |
