A ERYAN PROPHECY.
Captain Wise Thinks Bryan Will Carry
New York and Be Elected.
Richmond Times, 2d.
Hon. George D. Wise is back from
his vacation. He spent some time in
Nova Scotia, where he met Bishop
Jagger, who has often preached at St.
Paul's, and Bishop Kipsolving, of
Texas.
Captain Wise spent some time in
New York on his return home. He
said to a Times reporter last night:
"I firmly believe Bryan will be elect
ed President Four years ago when I
was in New York all the talk was in
favor of McKinley. I was surprised
to learn this week of the remarkable
changes that have come about. It is
Bryan now. The people realize that
free silver is a dead issue. Probably
85 per cent of the gold Democrats in
New York are for Bryan. I mixed a
trood deal with the people. I talked
with them on the street cars, in hotels
and gathered information from my
political and journal friends. Bryan,
in my judgment, will carry New York
State."
