HENRY GEORGE SAYS BRYAN WINS.

The Result of a Careful Tour of Observation Through the Central West. THE DRIFT FOR BRYAN. Aa Opiaien That la the More Valuable Beeause es Its Extreme Can* tiea aad Ooiuervatuin. Hvnry Oaerr* Undertook a Trip Through th* Doabtfal State* Convlaeed That MeKlaley Wautd Win- Hl* Obarva•lon Lead* Him to Change That Opinio* and He I* Now ConMdant of Bryan's __ Baec***. — Marly In September Mr. Henry George was reeueated by the New York Journal te make a tour of the so-called doubtful states in the middle west and to give the public In an entirely unbiased manner the result of his observations of the political conditions existing there. Before his reply was received the news come from Maine of the increased Republican majority at the state election there. Then followed Mr. George's answer as follows: “Chicago, Sept. 16, 1596. “Editor New York Journal: “In my opinion, confirmed by Maine, th* result is foregone. I believe, therefore, that a convinced free silver man would be better to make proposed trip for Journal than I, as candor Is sometimes uselessly painful to friends. Will go ahead If you wish and do my best to give exact truth as I see It, but my judgment and feelings are against this. “Would prefer to sav* my time and your money by not beginning. Could stop until tomorrow's committee meeting for your private information if you wish, though do not think I could learn anything not public; otherwise would start back. Advise me, Victoria hotel. “HENRY GEORGE.”

In reply to this message the editor of The Journal telegraphed to Mr. George, requesting him to remain for a short time In the doubtful territory and describe th* situation just as he saw it. On Oct. 5 Mr. George, having spent three weeks In the doubtful states, more especially In Illinois, Ohio, and West Virginia, was requested to telegraph, for the Information of the editor of The Journal, his opinion of the probabilities. In reply he sent the following: "Cleveland, 0,, Oct. 5. "Editor New York Journal: “My belief Is that Bryan will be elected. "This Is my carefully formed private, as well as public, opinion. I congratulate The Journal on the good prospects. "HENRY GEORGE.” Mr. George, It Is seen, began his journey with the settled conviction that McKinley’s election was assured. For this reason he suggested that some one elee undertake th* trip for The Journal. But as only the exact truth was desired, and as Mr, George is everywhere known for thoroughness of Investigation, accuracy of conclusion, and fairness of statement in all matters polltlcaL it was especially desired that he should make this trip and do this work. His repc m, are therefore valuable for their e,...re candor and reliability. Mr. Georg* has himself been surprised at the results of his investigations In the doubtful states. He began his trip fully convinced that McKinley ■would win. The results have convinced him that Bryan will win. After having sent The Journal the above dispatch from Cleveland, 0., on Oct 6, Mr. G«orge continued his journey through the states of Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota and returned to New York. On the 18th of Ooteber he submitted his final report to The Journal as follows. It is all the stronger and more valuable for Its extreme caution and conservatism: "October 18, 1896. “Editor New York Journal: “I came back to New York over more than a third of the continent to register my vote and hear Governor Altgeld make In Cooper Union the speech In which he set forth what, in my mind, Is the most Important of the Issues of the campaign. "The question that greets me from the lips of every friend I have yet met, and the question repeated in all I have as yet had opportunity to glance at In the pile of letters I found awaiting me, is: “'WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK WILL BE THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION?'

"'Let me answer questioners and correspondents, one and all, through the medium of The Journal. My personal opinion differs from that which has already been expressed in the letters that have recently been telegraphed by me to The Journal from the places where they have been written only In this: “I AM SOMEWHAT MORE CONFIDENT THAN MY LETTERS TO THE JOURNAL HAVE SHOWN, THAT BRYAN WILL CARRY THE STATES THAT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED DOUBTFUL IN THE CENTRAL WEST, AND WILL BE ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY. "I have no ability te see into the future, and am liable to all the mistakes of judgment that beset man or woman, but this Is my opinion as to what will be, formed after five weeks of as diligent, cautious and dispassionate effort as I am capable of to discover the trend and strength of the tides of political opinion now running in that part •d *he country. "m»ls was not my first opinion—on th* oontMry, it at first seemed to me that MoXjitaley, not Bryan, would carry the centra! west; but it is the matured conviction with which I came back to New York. And that the Ude ie daily setting more strongly toward Bryan, I am convinced. “HENRY GEORGE.” This ie not the work of a campaign manager, anxious to give a coloring of victory to his own side. It Is the result

fit ■ tour at efifiervattea of a candtd, tt'uthful, and reliable man, who began »he work With the conviction that McKinley’s election was sure. That is a correct forecast the 3d of November will prove. If a private citlsen contracts a deb* on false representations he is a criminal. If a chief magistrate conspires with a legislative body to disable a nation of debtors and prevent their paying their debts are they public benefactors or malefactors? If a few senators and representatives conspire with alien financiers to clandestinely enact a law that accomplishes the same object are they statesmen er traitors?

MAJORITIES FOR BRYAN.

Chicago Record's Postal Card Ballot Has Shown Uniform Result from the First. NONE FOR NI’KINLEY. Eleven So-Called Doubtful States and the City of Chicago Tell the Same Story. Bryan Baa Won More Republican Votes from MeKlnley Than He Has Lest Democratic Votes to McKinley and Palmer Combined—lt Is Not Possible to Beat Him for the Piesidenoy. Chicago, Oct. 26.—[Special.]—The Chicago Record’s postal card ballot continues to give daily evidence that Bryan will carry the so-called doubtful states in the central west for president. Some weeks ago The Record seat out several hundred thousand postal cards to the voters of Chicago and the states of Kentucky, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Indiana, lowa and Missouri, and requested them to express their choice for pesident, stating also for whom they had voted in 1892, and return the card to The Record. The returns are not large. But 127,000 votes have been received from the eleven states mentioned. Of this number 88,000 are for McKinley and 38,006 for Bryan. The Bryan vote is larger than McKinley’s in Kentucky and Missouri, but McKinley leads in the other nine states. In Chicago the vote stands: McKinley 66,000 and Bryan 14,000. All this was expected. The Record Is a goldbug newspaper and this ballot was begun with the idea that It would help the Republican cause. Republicans were urged to vote. On the other hand, the Democratic leaders, distrustful of The Record and its scheme, urged the friends of Bryan and free silver, through every means by which they could reach them, net to vote. Thus, under the circumstances, the mere number of votes cast signifies nothing, especially when the total number received is less than 5 per cent, of the total vote of the states named, and scarcely 15 per cent, of the olty of Chicago. The total signify only that, with all their efforts, the Republicans have been able to round up but 88,000 votes in eleven disputed states an* but 66,000 tn the city of Chicago in favor of their own scheme; while, in spits of their efforts to prevent it, 39,000 Democrats have voted in the states an* 14,000 in Chicago. But the Record’s ballot has one, though only one, significant feature. Each postal card received at The Record office tells not only hew the sender intends to vote at the approaching election, but also how he voted four years ago. Thus the percentage of change is obtained, and this is where the Democrats come in.

An analysis shows that in every state mentioned and in every ward of Chicago, without a single exception* the per cent, of Republican votes for fcryan is much larger then the per sent, of Democratic for McKinley. More than that, it shows that Bryan Is receiving a larger per cent, of Republican votes than he will lose of Democratic votes to McKinley and Balmer combined. If this were the resalt of an analysis of the vote of one or two wards of the city, or of one or two states, it would have no special signlfl.cance, but it is true of every ward and of every states. A result thus obtained must mean what it shows, and that is that in the so-called doubtful states of the central and west the drift 1b strongly In favor of Bryan—so strongly in fact that there can be no doubt of his eleotlon. It is easy enough now to estimate the majorities. Hie percentage of gain and loss in each state, as shown by the Record vote, indicates majorities for Bryan as follows: Illinois 71,193 Missouri 93,082 lowa 23,998 Indiana 95,145 Nebraska 42,487 Michigan ~.. 81,441 Wisconsin 10,092 Kansas 38,646 Kentucky24,9s2 Minnesota 28,886 South Dakota 7,543 North Dakota 2,988 Since this showing of gain and less became the most prominent gad onlv significant feature of ’JMie Record's ballot, the managers of the Republican campaign have lost all interest In it. They have been hoist on their own petard. IS HE AN “ANArtfcHIST! ■ The Sola Survivor of the Sixteen Men Who Named the Republican Party.

THE PLUTOCRATIC GUFFAW. —New York Journal

“My friends, I am not going to have time to talk to you, but I simply want to make a little speech in the introduction of a famous anarchist who to going to speak after I am gone. [Applause.] Now, I want you wtoa is gets up to talk to you to take a good look at him. He is a typical anaMhtot. You will probably see his pktoure tn Harper’s Weekly next week. Hta name is the Hon. Albert Williams, and he lives at lona, Mich., and was introduced two years ago at lona by Mr. McKinley as the only survtoor of ftie sixteen who met and adopted the flsst Republican platform, and anggested the name of the Republican party, on the 6th of July, 1854, under the oaks at Jackson. [Applause, and a voice, “I was there."] He must be an aaarchi*, because he is with us this yea*. [Laughter.] My friends, he is one of the many men who have foi*B* it necessary to either get out of the Republican party or surrender theft country into the hands of foreigner and hg has naturally chosen to get out of the party?’ Every regular state Democratto oonno Hon and evary regular county Demoorat canvention held elace the Chleago convention has indorsed the nominees and tbs •reed of the teinocrntlc Nevada by Eighteen Thousand. A bulletin recently sent out from Republican national headquarters in Chicago claimed Indiana for McKinley by 46,000, Minnesota by 25,906, lowa by 60,000, Kansas by 10,000, Wisconsin by 80,000, Illinois by 100,060, Nebraska by 25,000, Nevada by 18,006, and Michigan by 25,000 majority. The accuracy of this estimate may be best understood when it is known that in 1892 Nevada cast 2,862 Republican votes, 711 Democratic, 7,286 Populist, a total of 10,855. The Republicans haven’t even an electoral ticket in Nevada. Everybody there is supporting Bryan, yet the Republicans expect to carry the state by 18,000 majority. But their estimate of the other states is just as reliable as their estimate of Nevada. "I don’t want any maa to vote for me because he thinks that ts I am elected j will help him put his hands in somebody else’s pocket. All I expect to do la to pre* vent somebody else from putting his hand In your pocket.”—W. J. Bryan.

What Governor Altgeld Says. In a recent interview concerning the campaign in Illinois Governor Altgeld said: “We had this state won a month ago. I understand now that our Republican friends concede my election as governor; and if they do that it can but mean that Mr. Bryan will also carry, the state.” 1 The governor also thinks that both' he and Mr. Bryaa will carry Cook county. And in this connection he gives full credit to the splendid work which is being dose by the silver Republicans who have organized over 170 Bryan and Altgeld clubs in that city alone. Which Is the Anirohlit? Edward Lauterbach, chairman of the New York county Republican committee and delegate from the state at large to the Republican national convention, says: "If a majority of the votes at the approaching election should be cast fyr Bryan and the Chicago platform, we will not abide by that result.” William Jennings Bryan says: “I am willing to submit any question, however great or small, to the peoplo oi the United States, AND I AM WILL INC TO ABIDE BY THEIR DECISIO N.” Which is the anarchist? Kentucky Is All light. The latest pell of Kentucky, just completed, gives the state to Bryan by over 18,000 majority. This poll was made by Chairman Sommers of the Democratic campaign committee. Another poll of the state, made by the county chairman, differs from this estimate by only 4M votes. This verifies Bryan’s long and safe lead in that state. “Corporations are last becoming the curse of modern life. They usurp the powers that belong of right to the community and the government and actually threaten the liberties of the people.*’—Peter Cooper. Chauncey I. Filley, the big boss of the Missouri Republicans, is so disgusted with the condition of the Republican campaign that he refused to register, and therefore cannot vote. NORTON FOR BRYAN.

The Leader of the “Mlddle-of-the-Boad" Populists for the Democratic Leader. Mr. S. F. Nbrton, of Illinois, the favorite candidate of the “middle-of-the-road" Populists for ‘the presidential nomination at the St. Louis convention, has written a letter to Senator Butler, of North Carolina, chairman of the Populist national committee, announcing his support of Mr. Bryan and advising PopuMsts everywhere to assist in Mr. Bryan’s election. Mr. Norton advises Populists to forgive for the time any unfust treatment from the Democrats ana postpone the settlement of minor dlfflculties until after the election. He says: “If success is assured the Populist party cannot be denied the glory of the victory. Whether Mr. Bryan is a Populist or not, one thing absolutely certain is that every enemy reformers have encountered during the last twenty years we find today amen? Mr. Bryan’s bitterest and meet relenless opponents. If they are itfg enemies he must be our friend. Kto success is their defeat, their defeat |p our victory. “However much the Populists may have suffered at St. Louis m to the correct policy to adopt; homter much sama a us maw etui bsiwv* tkat saX-

takes ware maU tinier eeditlag circumstance*, there to omly one oeurae to pursue, and that to to loyally and earnestly support Mr. Bryan—not so much for the sake of elevating him to the presidency aa tor the purpose of defeating what may be appropriately! and most expressively termed Mark Hanna Republicanism. Although some of us may regret certain fusion arrangements which have been made, it is a noticable fact that no other mag in the Unite* States to so much troubled about them as the manages of the Republican campaign.” “I will tell you about the Url» question. If the mea who want proteeUew will join me in putting a prohibitory duty on foreign financial policies, I will discern the rest of the tariff schedule with them.” —W. J. Bryan,

A REMARKABLE PARALLEL

A Letter by Mr. Jefferson Which Aptly Applies to the Present Situation. In 1800, when the Federalist party was virtually wiped out, Thomas Jefferson wrote his friend and Virginia neighbor, Massel, then In France, a letter in which he gives a strikingly accurate outline, not only of that campaign, but of this. "The aspect of our politics," Jefferson writes, "has wonderfully change* since you left us. In place of the noblo love of liberty and republican government, which carried us triumphantly through the war, an Anglican party has sprung up whose avowed purpose It is to draw us over to the substance, as they have already done to the forms, of the British government. While the main body of our citlxens remain true to Republican institutions • • • against us are the executive, the federal judiciary, two out of three branches of the legislature, all the officers of the government, all timid men who prefer the oalm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty, all British merchants and Americans trading on British capital, all speculators and brokers, and with them the banks and dealers in the public funds (Unite* States bonds) —a contrivance invented for the purpose of corruption an* for assimilating us to the rotten, as well as to the sound parts, of the British model. It would give you a fever if I were to name to you the apostates who have gone over to these heresies —men who were once Solomons in council and Samsons in the field, but who have had their heads shorn by the harlot kingland. In short we are likely to preserve the liberty we have obtained only by unremitting labors and perils. But we shall preserve it!” "The American people have never failed in any crisis in the past, nor have they reason t*> believe that they will fall in this great crisis. It Is true that wo have on the other side n< great a campaign fund as was ever raised In American politics. It Is true tli.it t hey are resorting to intimidation and coercion as they uovsr resorted to them bnt'.re, but, my friends, while money talk', money don’t vote la tha United States.”—W. J, Bryan, “We can afford to be poor," sal* General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, who is fdiaperoning a crowd of "generals” around the country, speaking in McKinley’s interests, “We can afford to be poor,” said he, addressing a crow* of workingmen at Kansas City, "but we cannot afford to be dishonest. Wa must pay everything we owe with 100-cent dollars.” This the Very identical Millionaire Alger whom Senator Sherman deliberately charges, in his book, upon conclusive proof, with buying the votes of negro delegates instructed for himself in the national Republican convention of 1888. Can such a man teach workingmen henest finance.

WHO ARE THE ANARCHIBTBI

Bepnbllean Threats to Disrupt the Govern meat >f Mr. Bryan Should Win. Edward Lauterbach, chairman of the Republican county committee of New York, said in a public speech, delivered a few days ago, that if Bryan and the Chicago platform should obtain a majority of the votes in the approaching election, “we will not abide by that decision.” Lauterbaeh is not an irresponsible nobody to indulge in idle chatter. He Is Boss Platt's right-hand man in New York, and was a delegate from the state at large, along with Platt, Depew and Warner Miller, to the national Republican convention which met at St. Louis and nominated McKinley. This is, therefore, a threat to overthrow the lawful result o< an honest election, made by a responsible representative of the Republican party—the chairman of the Republican committee of the richest and most populous county in the United States. Two nights later, Senator Palmer, the assistant Republican candidate for president. made the following declaration in a speech at Detroit: “For myself, I would prefer to live under a righteous monarchy rather than submit to such principles as those declared by the Chicago convention.” If Bryan . and his principles triumph, of which there is every indication, Senator Palmer will not go elsewhere to seek “a righteous monarchy” under which to live. He would find It more convenient to join Lauterbach in an attempt to establish one of that kind in this country. On the very day on which Lauterbach declared the determination, under the contingency mentioned, to overthrow the government, Dugald Crawford, a leading merchant of St. Louis and a large employer of labor, made a thorough and systematic search of his list of employes to find if any of them were in favor of free silver and Intended to vote for Bryan. He found such, and summarily dismissed them—in violation of law and every principle of manhood. These three occurrences are met* specimens of what is going on eveM day among the plutocratic supports!* of McKinley and the gold standarm Who are the anarchists? The Chicago platform contains not oven the sugnene tion of the violation of any law. Thy men who are opposing it so bittorig are not afraid the laws will not be enforced, if It should win, as Mr. Bryan has said. They are afraid the laws uag be enforced. ; Who are the anarchists?

Here is a. fair ilustration of the qpe eration of the gold standard: In MH the average value of the farms in the United States was 83,430. In 1880 tIM average value had been reduced to IV 488, and in IMO to 81,620. All prosperity must come from the farm. How oaa prosperity come from farms like these! If the icreased demand for silver doog not raise its price, why is it that j| August, 1890, silver advanced to BLM an ounce here and 81.19% an ounce &| London because it was anticipated that congress was about to command heavier pure|yses of it? No panic was ever ceased in this or ether coeatey by any ■ryelee es tA eurreaegu When McMfhTey was governor of Ohio, Hanna was his guardian.
