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—

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,
