further disadvantage of not being in unison with the state late ticket headed by gov altgeld who lie by tile the way li 11 making a a wonderful campaign some doubt his bis lineer lly ity for bryan I 1 do not however ahn man main liaa has been more abused and maligned and is less lesa understood by the politicians throughout the country than almost almos st any other public man in my judgment chiq speeches surpass even bryans s in intellectual grasp bryan brian Is 19 bitterly attacked by the goldlee press for arousing claa cla is feeling it la Is doubtless true lie he touches upon lipon this subject and it may be that he goes rather near the danger point Att altgeld geld on oil the other oilier liand land cry adroitly allows his hearers themselves to draw their own conclusions it lq 19 paid fald that Ind indiana lants Is not irk in good shape but I 1 should regard indiana as safer for the democrats Demo crata than illinois for the reason that it has fewer large cities and has haa always responded more readily to currency reform mom ments menta than any other middle western plate with nith the exception of 0 michigan the silver men have a lighting chance in michigan and minnesota especially the former it Is ig not true that the democrats have given lit up ohio and they predict results that will astonish the guld gold risen men it Is safe to say bay that the labor vote vole in ohio has haa been running very strongly toward bryan prom front this time on oil bryan will mill canvass the middle west and sli although though he ism h working against greater odds t than ban over ever confronted A presidential candidate he lias has in my judgment a splendid chance DEMOCRATS LACK MONEY what about the democratic organization zat za tion lon the democratic organization Is 13 not as good as it would have been with note mole money in f fact ct it la is poor gorman ma z I 1 should have a been at the head bead of the forces kast east and west vests the democrats are not thorough the republican managers are very much so BO they have kept k pt the prominent southern democrats bury buby in their own community comment Y take bland who nho might have done splendid service tor for the silver cause callao in indiana illinois ohio and michigan he Is boxed up lip in his own congressional district making the light of 0 his life to be returned so it la Is with scores of oc others in the sure sliver states generally speaking the republican managers aro are dolne doing nothing except orca occa atonally tilo nally to frighten mitt ten the democrats but blit in the pivotal states of 0 the middle west they tire are simply moving heaven and ear eiith lit to carry their point hannas means lre are unlimited and back of 0 him besides the banks and corporations and monopolies are tile the hl big iron arid and steel trusts in which tile the cramps carnegie rockefeller and the iron and steel men generally ot of cleveland and pittsburg PUts burg are interested these corporations must be protected and I 1 am told that the intention in im it if mckinley to la elected to work up a jingo spirit in the country and expend immense bums 0 of money mu cy lor f 0 r battleships and coast defenses fen eq it si Is only natural that these men should houll pour out unlimited treasure to defeat a man from whom they know they could get eel no aid or sympathy the cold press 0 of the east V a st began six weeks ago a concentrated movement to claim everything and yet the tact fart Is in today that tho the gold men with all their boasting boost lne are badly frightened they seem mystified and nonplus nonplussed sed lit at the Nond wonderful erful enthusiasm which bryan stirs up among the people I 1 he crowds and enthusiasm which greet erect him ire are without parallel in our political history it Is impossible that tho the people should come together as 09 they do out of 0 idle curiosity merely inertly tor for bryan has spoken many times in
