BRYAN WILL GET THE GOLD VOTES. North Carolina Will Surely be In the Democratic Column. After making public his letter of ac- ceptance, Mr, McKiuley started for Canton again, via Somerset, Pa., where his niece will this week married, for an indefinite stay. This either in- dicates that he understands what the powers aie going todo in China, or that he is extremely negligent of American interests, as there is now no one in Washington to receive news from China, higher than an assistant secretary. Mr. McKinley's letter of acceptance is a most carefully prepared document, especially that portion of it which be alism, guments in favor of expansion, and either omits entirely or glosses over the acts of imperialism of which the administration has been guilty. That portion of it dealing with the country’s prosperity is not so carefully put to- gether and will be sure to arouse smiles of incredulity among the well-inform- ed, who kuow that it is providence, and not the R:publican adminisira- tion, which has given the country bountiful crops and that wars and not the Republican administration, have largely increased the volume of money in circulation and thus helped along of future tax payers, Those who are well-informed, polit- ically, know that Mr. McKinley owes his election to the gold That is why the accumulating evi- dence that the bulk of the gold Demo- cratic vote is going to be cast for Bry- an and Stevenson this year is so dis turbing to the McKinley maaagers. They know that the gold Democrats have it in their power to elect the Democratic ticket. Until within the past week, the Republicans have de nied that Col. Bryan would get the support of the gold Democrats of prom- inence, but since the publication of let- members of the Cleveland Cabinet— of the election of Bryan and perialistic plans of the McKinleyites, they are dodging discussion subject, exist between Messrs. Oloey and Wil- son and Mr. Cleveland, makes it re- garded as probable that Mr. Cleveland will also declare for Bryan and Steven- son, before the campaign gets much older, Mr. Josephus Committeman from N. on Daniels, C., says the of that state casting its electoral votes for McKinley, is an iridescent dream. “North Carolina's electoral votes'’' Le Stevenson. as large as in the recent state election, when it was 60,000, but it will be large. One of the Maryland callers at Demo- cratic Congressional headquarters said: “Maryland is going Democratic. Everybody who lives in the state and mingles with his neighbors knows this. This is not because of the Dem- ocratic party in Maryland; still less is this condition due to any Democratic politician. The people have just risen, Politicians who are personally hostile to Mr. Bryan have had to run to keep up with the people. The people are not with them. They are just trying this year to stay with the people. They saw the drift of the public opinion and they hustled to get in out of the wet, They would not have it said that Ma- ryland should go Democratic without their resistance. It would ruin them politically.” Toms ALA psn Texns Storm Swept, Nearly 3,000 persons were killed as the result of the storm which raged in Galveston Saturday.
