BRYAN ON CAMPAIGN
Nebraskan Talks Interestingly of
the Coming Contest.
CONFIDENT OF DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Not a Question of Victory, S.iy# Mi*. Bryan,
Hut of How Big tho Vic¬
tory Will I5«.
A special from Galveston, Texas,
there tho Hon. W. J. Bryan is at
present, quotes him extensively on
next year’s campaign. Air. Bryan
states that, the Democrats will make
great gains next year among large
classes of people.
“These people comprise tho wage
earners,” said lie. “Those who have
been directly affected by the consoli¬
dation of the great manufacturing and
producing concerns of the country
commonly called trusts. In this class
is enumerated day laborers, office
wen, drummers, etc. These are the
people who will vote with the Demo¬
crats next year.

“Willi a continuation of such an in¬
crease to our side for the.' next twelve
months, it will not bo a question of
can the Democrats win, but how large
the majority will ho. I have no fear
for the outcome. The recent elections
to an unbiased mind plainly indicate
that the Democrats had the better of
it in nearly all the states in which
elections were held.
“In Ohio, Mr. McKinley’s home
state, is the Democratic gain more
clearly shown than those anywhere
else, except in Maryland and Nebras¬
ka. The vote given Jones was anti
Rcpnblican and had he not been in the
race it most assuredly would have
gone to McLean. Next year, -with the
present ratio of increase, Ohio will go
Democratic by a safe majority.
‘ The Republicans would like to
cover me with the glory of personally
winning the fight in Nebraska. This
would, if possible, lead the people to
believe that there were no issues iu
this election and that I was so person¬
ally magnetic as to lead the people to
the polls with nothing more than my¬
self as an incentive.
“The truth of the matter is. the
people of Nebraska have bean awak¬
ened. They realize that it is time that
a change was being made in the ad¬
ministration of affairs of the govern¬
ment and they propose to throw off

objective of that party. And not only

fovt, Kentucky.
Tho first delegation of Taylor men
to watch the work of tho hoard of
election commissioners arrived in
Frankfort, Ivy., Saturday. There
wero about sixty of them, all well
armed.
They say they simply desire to soo
that Taylor is not “robbed of h.t
rights.” All of them, however, seem¬
ed to have determined in advance just
what “Taylor’s rights” are, and any¬
thing short of their estimate is likely
to he resented.
The Goebel men are not saying
much. They declaro that all they
want is the law carried out. They
contend that tho election in Louis¬
ville, where tho troops were present,
WAS illegal,and that in the mountains,
wbero tissuo paper ballots wero used,
the election was illegal.
