Greene Smith a member of the state board of election Commissioners. it requires twenty-five thousand less tickets to supply the Indiana voters, than it did in 1896. This means that there is much truth in the statements that the gas belt factories have made a hole in the republican majority in the state. It means that the g. o. p have cause for the worry and anxiety tnanifes r ed over the apathy that is so apparent. It means that every democratic vote counts. Be up and i doing. Humor is so rare in this campaign observes the New York World, that Mr. Bryan's answer to Senator Beveridge's consumption of coffee argument is entitled to high rank. The Hoosier senator had instanced the increased consumption of c ffee as an evidence of national prosperity. In reply Mr. Bryan said that four years ago the republican argument was the full dinner 1 pul. Tnis year it is the full coffee ‘ pot. Four years hence it will be probably the full water pitcher. F"i this contribution to the gayety : of the campaign Mr. Bryan deserves a p*-r-"anent place among the uigh grade humoritsts of the , country.

William Jennings Bryan is! greater than ever, and this fact was never better understood than since i his thirty minutes' speech in this city Friday The earnestness of his pleadings for united I action entirely dispels the thought of insincerity, which is the stock in 1 trade of tiros*- who ate zealously la-! boring to stem and turn the tide that is sweeping toward democ-, I racy. The half hour that he spoke '. he said that his heart required no J i wrenching to be in the democratic ■ ’ work this year. The fact is there ; ; never was jnst ground for doubting Mr. Bryan’s sincerity. The ■ many thousand people with i ! whom he came in contact in | I two presidential contests, would be ! slow to believe that he would pre- i i tend to be one thing and act an- I I ' other. If Mr. Bryan is anything i in this campaign he is the sincere i and honest man that he is and al- ! ■ ways has been. State Line. J W. H.
