DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT CON
CEDED. The democratic leaders practically cnu
'cde the defeat of their prcaidcuiiiil cau
date in a table given to the priss on
Thursday last from the campaign head
(piarteis in Washington. This table
Muowcd the number of innnbers of the
lionse of representatives which the deiu
.oerntie malinger assert they expect to
elect. This statement continued a mis
pieiciii that lias for some time found place
witli the republican manageis that the
democrats bad abandoned Mr. Bryan and
were concent rat inn their energies upon
J.il attempt to control congress. The
statement to which Chairman llanna
yesterday gave ollicial sanction was,
thereupon, prepared. In this statement
attention is called to ihe fact that the
free silver democratic, congressional table
contained but 8 of the 22 members from
Illinois, r of the 12 member from Michi
gan. 5 of the 31 members from New
York. 4 of the 11 from Iowa. It of the 21

2 out of H ill Wisconsin, 1 from Massa
chusetts, 1 from New Jersey and none
rem the states of Connecticut, Dcln
ware, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon
Rhode Island mid Vermont.
It goes without saying, say the repub
lican managers, that a parly which inl
ands it can not elect more than one-third
one-sixth of the members of congress
from any given state, has no expecta
tion of carrying that state for the pres
idential nominee. Usually candidates
for congress poll n larger vote than the
presidential candidate, since every man
lias his personal friends to whom he can
appeal for the certain support which they
would not give for party reasons.

XEP.UASKA LOST TO P.RYAN.
Exceiilionall.v satisfactory to ropubli-
mis are the late reports trom Nebraska
It was not so very long ago that visitors
to national headqnai tors fioiii that state
pressed giave doubt as to the promt
bibty ot canying it. Now the Nebraska
isitors are uuanimousiy ot a uiiierent
mind. O. W. McDonald of Lincoln was
itmoiig the Nebraskans at headquarters
yesterday, anil lrom an intimate knowl
edge of local conditions gave a detailed
report that made the national commit
teemen stioiiger in their faith in carry
ng the state of Hr.vau. 1 wo months
ago Mr. McDonald was one of those who
xinessed small hope ot carrying Ne
braska. but the developments ot the bit
ter part of the campaign have changed
his opinion.
Aicirding to .Mr. .Mcl loualil. more are
great many strong silver men in Ne
braska who me going to vote against
Urviin. Some of them are men who
are win m friends of the democratic can
didate, but. as election day draws nearer.
thev are becoming scared at the possi
bilities that may follow his election.
Such silver men believe free silver might
be all right in tune, but are alarmed at
what is likely to happen in the interim
f ISrvnn should be elected. this opm
ion. Mr. Mi Donald says, is far-reaching
He a so says that many populists are
coming back into the republican ranks
everv dav. I here are still some conn
ties, he says, where the situation is very
bad. such counties being the hotbeds of
populism, but, taking the general situa
turn into consideration, he thinks tlier
is no longer any doubt whatever about a
republican plurality.
1 lie reports following the sending ot
eastern (-tumping talent into the far
western and coast states this being the
first tune speakers have ever been sent
to the slope by the republican national
committee are constantly increasing the
commence of the campaign managers r
garding the section that was practically
hopeless a short tune ago.
PACIFIC COAST NOW CLAIMED
The increasing confidence is shown in
the positivenes with which California
Washington, Oregon and Wyoming are
now classed as sure Mclvinley states,
r.iieouraging reports are also coming
from Missouri, and while the republican
leaders do not profess to count much on
the probabilities there, they say the sit
nation is considerably improved over
what it was a few weeks ago. The
sound money democrats are reported to
be doing some. effective work in the state
and cutting into the ltryau forces every
day. Charles H. Smith of St. Louis,
National Committeeman Kerens' busi
ness manager, was at national headquar
ters yesterday, and reported that there
is great dissatisfaction among the fusion
elements in the state and that the scheme
the democrats expected so much from
is beginning to show signs of disintegra
tion. Another feature in a day of much joy
at republican headquarters was a visit
from several politicians from the interior
of Illinois. They brought reports to the
effect that the various congressional dis
tricts in the interior will show a ropubli-
cau majority comparatively as large as
in the city of Chicago. Among the Il
linois visitor were State Senator Tem
pleton of Hiiroiiu county and Thomas 11.
Pierce of Henry county.
Cliairman Haniiii wns extremely well
pleased with all the good news that came
lo him during the day, and when a man
came in and wanted to talk to liim about
the growtli of the republican movement
in Texas lie thought it was u pretty
cheerful time to close a busy week and
he locked his desk and left the office an
hour before his usual time Chicago

DALLAS COUNTY POPULIST EX
ECUTIVE COMMITTEE APPLIES
THE IAS II
Is the Subject of an Address Given Out
by Dallas Populists AA'ho Are Ex
Confederate Soldiers and Took
Culberson's. Remarks to Heart.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 17. (Special.) The
populist executive committee of Dallas
county met today. After the session was
over the following address was given
out to the public:
"It has not been the policy of the pop
ulist party to parade the war records of
its candidates, nor is it intended to do so
at this time, but since Governor Culber
son has seen proper to mnke nn unwar
ranted and uncalled for charge against
an ex-Confederate soldier. Gen. Buckner
Gen. Buckner, simply because his name
does not appear on the same ticket that
Governor Culberson's does, it would seem
that it would not be out of place to men
tion the fact that five of the populist
candidates for state offices are ex-Confederate
soldiers. Perhaps the covernor
intended the thrust at Gen. Buchncr to
apply to ex-Coufederates generally. The
undersigned hope not, but be that ns it
may. Hon. J. C. Kcarbv is well known
over Texas as the boy soldier, having
entered the army at the age of 13, re
maining till the close. But while the war
is over and the hardships of the battle
scarred ex-Coufeilerate are seldom re
counted, even though to memory dear,
it ill-becomes a man of Mr. Culberson's
age, and especially having been born nnd
raised in the south, to criticise these old
heroes, who followed a cause they be
lieved was right, who had the courage to
defend their homes, wives, mothers, sis
ters, aged fathers and children. Intol
erance is bad at best, but inexcusable in
such a case. Not a man who wore the
blue has been so unmanly or unpatriotic,
so far as we have seen, during the cam
paign, to criticise the old ex-Confederate
or the cause he loved so well, but it is left
for a strippling, intoxicated with intol
erance or agrieved at the thought of de
feat, to stoop to such method. Shame!
It i suggested that a better method of
campaign for the state house gang would
be to explain their conduct, to account
for unnecessary expenditures, for the in
crease in taxation, to give a reason why
they permitted prize fights by the dozen
to take place in Texas, but spent some
$;so,000 to stop a scientific encounter; to
tell the people why many men are per
mitted to sell lottery tickets in the state
in violation of the law; to explain what
caused McDonald's smlden conversion
and what it cost (or will cost): to nccount
for the flop of Maj. M. M. Walton and
Tom llogan of Dallas county; to tell why
they gave more than 30,000.000 acres of
public domain away; to tell what was
done with the $750.tMK) indemnity money
paid Texas by the United States govern
ment for frontier defenses; to venture nn
opinion as to whether it is right in mor
nls or under their tenure of ollice to neg
lect their duties as public ollicials to make
a canvass; to explain why they have ap
proved so many bonds-; why we have
such a large deficiency; why, two years
ago, thev indorsed Cleveland, gold stand
ard, bond issues and the use of federal
troops nt Chicago, and now denounce
his administration; to explain bow they
can consistently be the friend of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of lti
to 1 when the democrats have defeated
silver legislation twenty times in the
house and thirteen times in the senate
since 1S73; why the free silver democrat
ic campaign managers of Dallas county
snatched a bundle of 'democratic tree
silver records,' as published in the News,
out of the hands of the lioy who was grat
uitously distributing them -at the Hogg
sponking the other night. A as he
ashamed of his own record? AA by they
stole the greenback platform and failed
to carry out one single plank therein, and
whv the railroad commission has been

would appreciate such explanations more
than attacks upon old ex-Confederate

Gen. Palmer closed the meeting with
a speech upon the money question, nnd
both made a good impression, although
the Illinois statesman could not be heard
for any great distance. The crowd
asked him a numlier of questions ami
lie answered them readily. lie raid that
the fact that the Chicago platform was
regularly adopted was not sufficient for
democrats who did not conscientiously

in a revolutionary outburst of the democrat-populist
convention at Chicago on
tlie 10th of last July. The whole mon
strous and unnatural effort, if it con
fers one benefit from its realization, will
only confer that benefit upon a certain
lass ot debtors who nre only too glad
to pay their honest debts nt 50 cents on
the dollar. Should such a national mis
fortune come upon us as the election of
Bryan, you would see the holders of
bonds rushing iu upon the national treas
ury for the redemption of their securities.
The supply of gold would rapidly become
exhausted and as a nation we would be
nt once launched upon the unknown sea
of free coinnge in a rudderless ship and
go drifting steadily on the breakers of
broken credit and bankruptcy.

"I do not intend that any parade shall
take place without a permit," ho snid.
"It is plain on the face of it that, in the
present excited state of the public
mind, two parties can not go over the
same ground with a brief space between
nnd leave us in the consciousness that
trouble will not result."
The democratic ninnngers declare no
permit is necessary for their parade on

BILLY WILSON'S FIRST.
He Made His Initial Speech in the Cam
paign, for Sound Money.
Charleston. W. Vn.. Oct. 17. Post
master General Wilson made his first
speech in the campaign here this nfter-
noou in the court house, where a largo
crowd gathered to greet him. When
.Mr. llson arose to speak the crowd
cheered him loudly. He made a strong
appeal for the gold standard nnd was
cheered repeatedly in the course of his
remarks. One of the first things he
said in his speecli was that he was a
democrat and pot a populist. He de
nounced the Chicago convention and the
platform on which Mr. Bryan was
nominated and said it was nothing on
earth but a populist convention and a
populist platform, and that it wns an
almost exact copy of the populist plat-
torin ot itspz.
Mr. Wilson snid Mr. Bryan was an
eloquent speaker, an aide debater, an ex
tremist and entirely too young a man to
be president of the United States. He
quoted a large number of authorities.
lie said he was not a bolter of the
democratic party, and that on the 3rd of
November he would vote for six demo
cratic electors and not for two populists
and four democrats, ns a large number
of people in his county were going to do.
In the course of his speech he paid a
high tribute to Secretary Carlisle and
President Cleveland, both of whom, lie
snid, would stand as faithful servants
of the democratic party nnd were no
more traitors to the party than Gen.
Robert E. Lee wns to the Confederate
army.
