Rensselaer Democrat, Volume 1, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 April 1898 — Capture of the biggest Cities. [ARTICLE]

Capture of the biggest Cities.

Beginning with Detroit, the six largest cities of the state are nbw j safely in the hands of the denio-j ernts, and in a total of sixty cities : the democrats have captured more than twice as many as the republicans. Nearly all of these victories for the silver movement resulted from fusion of all the opponents of the 1 single gold standard. { Throughout the state the tri- j umph of the party in the munici- j pal elections is having a most 1 stimulating effect. It is regarded by all state and local leaders as a solid foundation laid for a great congressional campaign in the fall when a number of districts will be stormed and carried.
