| Show I HOPEFUL OUTLOOK I I The Presidential race may be said to have entered into the homestretch In this month the final conclusions will be reached There does not seem to be much doubt at this time of the result Mr BIyan will get his 112 Southern otes and possibly fifteen more from Nebraska and a couple of Western States I The boasts of local Democrats cannot be based on any tangible facts The great controlling reason why they I have no honest foundation Is that no F one can find In a weeks search where I any one who voted for McKInley Is going go-ing to support Bryan this year while the return to the Republican party of oldlime Republicans who four years I ago voted for Bryan has been practically practi-cally unanimous Then It grows clearer and clearer dally that Jf nothing else was needed lo insure McKInleys election the company com-pany which would be carried inlo power by Mr Bryans election would decide it the Altgclds the Pettlgrews the Davlses the Crokers and the rest are of themselves warnings that what they want should not be granted Then the I appeal to the cowardice of Americans haa never yet won and never will Then the fact that Mr Bryan Is not a Democrat Demo-crat but a Populist with all the vagaries va-garies of the creed shines out brighter and brighter dally The omens are all good and the closing month of the campaign I cam-paign leaves the Republicans entirely hopeful of the ultimate result |
