THE IOWA SITUATION. Sentiment Drifting to Brjran The Demo cratR Confident of Carrying That State. The Des Moines correspondent the St. Louis Republic fiavs: The Democratic State Committee of Iowa on the ba?is of actual returns . from its poll of the State, estimates that Bryan will carry Iowa by not less than :?0,000 The figure which the committee believes is most likely to represent the Bryan majority is 37, 000. The Democratic Committee is making a complete poll of the State. Thus far the return; received are only -fnnvs: but th-v com3 from all purth ;.f tl). M.iff. silver ami gold districts alike. Almost every county has 1 en heard from, and the figures on 115" are excellent indication of the drift of sentiment. On the other hand, the Republi can St tte Central Committee has been at work on a poll of the State, which was begun even before the Demo -rats commenced their work. The Republican poll is farther along toward completion than the Demo cratic. but the Republican cam paign managers are giviug out no figures. They are, in fact, keeping very uuiet about the results thev are developing. But it is known that the figures they produced have frigrhtened well have them badly. They tiud that silver men are getting more numerous in the cities and the supposed gold dis tricts, while the men who were at first expected to support MeKinley are coming over to Brvau in great numbers. The Democrats of the State are in line, practically, accord ing to Secretary Carr of their State Committee. The few gold men, who represent themselves only, are making a good deal of noise, but it is having little effect. There is no -question now, among the Republi can or Democratic managers, that unless the tide is stemmed before election, the State will be carried by Bryan. The Democrats and Populists have fused on the electoral and State tickets, and in almost every county the fusion is beiug carried down to county tickets. The Con gressional candidates will have the united support of all silver elements There will be no division of forces this year: they will all be working together. A consolidated campaign committee will manage the campaign for the Populists. Democrats and Bimetallic League Each party will have its own representatives on the committee, and each will handle its own literature for its own people; but the speaking arrangements will be handled bv oue bureau, and the fight will all be on the one issue of the currei cy. The Democratic State Convention adopted a platform that ignored everything but silver; even the liquor question was left out the first time in two decades that a Democratic ticket in Iowa has stood on a platform that did not have a strong declaration ou this question. The result is that the great majority of Prohibitionists n the State, who are generally for free silver,will vote for Bryan and the Democratic State ticket Truly, politics is making jstraDge bedfellows this year. With a full Democratic vote out, the State of Iowa is Republican by only about 25,000 Last year it went nearly 60,000, but it was a landslide, and Democrats by thous ands stayed at home This vear they will be out. There are about 32,000 Populist votes in the State; these will all be Democratic this year. There are 12,000 Prohibition votes: a majority of these will be for Bryan and Sewall. Thus the normal Republican plurality is more than overcome, and no account is taken of the thousands of silver Republi oans who will be for Br van. Gorman Restiug. New York, Aug. 30. Senator Gorman came down from Saratoga today. Speaking of his attitude to ward the political situation, he said: "1 have taken no interest in noli- tics for the last three wetks, and I do not intend to for some time. I am resting." Mr. Gorman would not talk about the campaign any fun her than this, but it was learned that an important conference was to take place in New York in the near future, perhaps this week, between Senator Jones, chair man of the Democratic National committee, and Senator Gorman and other leaders. v Trller Will Place Himself Ht Chairman lones' Disposal. Denver, Aug. 30. Senator Tel ler will leave Denver the latter part of next week and will go direct to Chicago, where he will meet Chair man Jones of the national Demo cratic committee, placing himself at the disposal of the latter for the re mainder of the campaign. He will make only one formal speech iu Colorado before taking his depart ure. This will be delivered next .Monday at Colorado Springs, where there is a stronger MeKinley senti- . i ii - i.1 i. - ment tnan in any omer part ui iue State. a ACCUSED OF INTIMIDATION.; .... A-- ..', Receiver Owen's Work Among Railroad Employes Severely Criticised. ' Hagerstown, Md.? Aug. 2? The silver leaders of Hagerstown are up in arms against the four railroad companies centering here for dis tributing among their employes and others what the silverftes term "mis leading, malicious-, and threatening gold arguments.' A freight car loaded with printed documents ar rived over the Baltimore and Ohio today, and vast quantities of them were left with the employe-, it it said, at the request of John K. CVw en. one of the receivers of the road. Silver lawyers have collected nifnt.?. one ot J A. LJ . -v which they claim will be sufficient to have the railway officials indicted under the new elections law of Maryland for intimidating voters. The silver men aver that Judge Mc Sherry's notable charge to the Frederick countv grand jury recent ly is so clear as to the provisions of the new elections law that there is no doubt that the railroads who send out intimidating literature will come under its provisions. Several silver employes of the railroad have filed with the silver lawyers copies of the alleged threats, and au investigation is now going on. The railroad companies claim rhpv are simrdv distributing sound logic on the money question. The silver men also accuse Mr. Cowen of using his Congressional frank to send out through the United States mails campaign literature that tends to serve his personal ends. A House Not NemiarT -The Open I'rarie Will !. Jamestown-, X. Y., Aug. :!(J Mr. and Mrs. Bryan attended service at the First Presbyterian church here this morning, and heard the Rev. C. M. Colville, the pa-tor. preach a sermon from the text be ginning "He saw a great multitude.'' This was construed into a reference to the vast audience that Mr Bryan had at Celoron last night. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left Jamestown this af ternoon on a special trolley ear for Lakewood, six miles out fmm this city Ou the way out to the lake, Mr. Bryan read in a newspaper that no hall could be obtained in Toledo in which he could address the people ou Wednesday night. Commenting on this, he said he would speak on trte open prairies at Toledo if the people wanted, to hear him. Mr and Mrs. Bryan are the guests at Lakewood of Mr. Norman K. Mack of Buffalo.

W. Hamilton, the cyclist, who holds several world's records, to take place at Rochester, N. Y., ou September VJ for a purse of $2,000. Hamilton will have the pole, and the track, which is a very fact mile course, will be specially prepared for this event. The origi nal intention was to run their raee at Chicago, but owing to trouble in getting Washington park track and putting it in condition, the Roches ter course was submitted. Besides the race between the famous pacer and Hamilton, a programme of cycle races will be given. a Poet m. London, August 'il. William Morris, the celebrated Knglish poet, is critically ill.

With only three votes in the neg ative out of a membership of over 000, the Demoeratic Ceneral Com mittee of Kings county last night endorsed the nomination of Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago plat form by adopting the following ab lution: "Whereas The Democratic party in National Convention assembled, nominated William J. Bryan for President of the United Stateand Arthur Sewall for vice President, and "Whereas. The choice of candi dates by said convention ami plat form adopted meets with the cor- I djai approbation of the Democrats ot Kings county: now, tneretore, oe it "Resolved, TJiat, the Democratic party of Kings county in general committee assembled do most heart ilv endorse said nomination and the platform adopted by said convention and pledge to the nominees our most hearty support." If there ever was any doubt about the loyalty of Brooklyn Democrats to the national ticket and the plat form as well, it was removed by the enthusiasm of the six hundred dele gates for Bryan and Sewall. The delegates are representative Demo crats from every election district of the city. Tney arc carpenters and mechanics, and men who meet the masses daily. They are in touch with the voters, men who know more of what the public wants than the executive committees or ,big partv leaders. When they speak or vote in general committee they must an swer the next day to the men in the ranks who elected them, and when they practically unanimously declar ed iast night that there is nothing to tiud faultNvith in either the par ty's ticket or platform, they spoke as they knew the Democrats in the election districts demanded. "otc of Interest to Women. And now it develops that the fashionable woman when she steps from her carriage to enter a shop must, to be strictly a la mode, lift her 'rown with both hands. It is not for the gain in grace the new method is advocated, but the better to show the milled silk petticoat beneath, or, it may be, give a glimpse of an open-work border. An entirely new crusade has been instituted bv the Woman's Club of Muncie Ind These ladies, being stanch believers in the a-sthetic in advertising, have passed resolutions condemning the merchants who dis figure f nc?s and telegraph poles to blazon forth their wares, and are proceeding to some radical steps for the suppression of these inartistic eye-sores.

A number of colored people met at the court house Tuesday evening to consider matters political. Rep resentatives from the country were present. There has been a disposi tion amoug some of the colored peo ple to demand representation on the county ticket. They wanted one county commissioner and magistrates in some of the towuships. These matters were talked over at j the meeting, but no action was taken. ! Some of the speakers were against ! fusion with the Populists and par ticularly opposed endorsingCongrcss I man Shu ford. They want Capt. A. D. Cowles, of Statesville, for Con gress and were apparently unanimous for him. It is said a committee was congressional convention to nate the captain.

At the headquarters of the Silver Party it was said yesterday: ''The Democratic and Silver Party people today jointly ordered l,00ujo00 do cuments. The demands on them for literature are overwhelminsf. This order will be duplicated im mediately. Ail non-partisan silver clubs in the United States are re quested to correspond immediately with the silver headquarters in Washington to have themselves en rolled as members of the Associa tion of National Silver clubs. Such clubs will be plentifully supplied with the very best campaign litera ture of all kinds." Washington Post. 5 "1 nil AN STllONO IN OHIU. , Canton Frc SllTer CIob JMmve Own HimIO. Washington, Aug. r. Among the many letters received today per taining to club work, was one from llen Cook, secretary of the Central Hryan Free Silyer Club, of Clinton, Ohio, in which he says: "This club is the central organiza tion of the city, and county. We have in the city at this time four other Brvan free silver clubs, auxil iary to this. Three are composed of members of all parties. Party poli tics and party names are scarcely mentioned here any more They arc either 'gold bugs,' or 'silver men,' and the 'silver men' far outnumber the 'gold bugs.' The Central Club has over (500 'members and the four other clubs have about G50 in all, making a membership in Canton of 1,S50 and the movement is only three weeks old. Clubs are forming all over this Congressional district with a spontaneity tl at surprises us all. I feel certain that McKinley's own ward, city, county and State will be carried for Bryan. The voting pop ulation of Canton is about 7,200. Nathan C. Holloway, who has been a life-long : Republican, is President of the Central Club." Address to Silver Men Chicago, Aug. 25. An address was issued today to the Friends of Hi metal lism in the United States," and signed by A. J. Warner, presi dent of the American Bimetallic Union, and George A. Bowen, secre tary. After declaring the importance of the silver question in r he present campaign, the address says: "The great contest is now on and it can be settled only at the polls. To the end that the decision may be right, the American Bimet allic Union strongly urges the for mation of silver clubs and leagues in every State, county, city, town and school district in the Union. To all interested in the cause, we say 'Organize and we will assist you to the best of our ability.' Our means are limited and the wealth of the country is arrayed almost solidly against us, but we will aid in the work of organization and education to the utmost of our ability. 'Such literature as can be furnished free we will furnish gratuitously, and will furnish at cost "In a legitimate way we will as sist in disseminatiug correct infor mation upon this subject, the correct solution of which means so much to the people of our common country." - " ' - To It om bard the Palace Zaxzii;aii, Aug. 2G.

Opposition to Sbuford. There is much opposition develop ing towards Shuford, the Populist nominee for Congress in tnis district. A gentleman who took a prominent part in the convention which nomi nated Mr. Shuford is authority for the statement that one of the Iredell delegates to this convention will not support Shuford. A Y. Sigman, editor of the Hickorv Press, who supported him two years ago, is fighting him now and altogether it looks extremely uncomfortable for him. There is no telling what turn things may take, but Mr. Shuford is not elected yet by a great deal. Salisbury World. In a recent letter to the manufac turers Mr. W. F. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, Kushford, N. Y., says: "It may be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own State, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to vitir me a few vears since, and before leaving home j wrote me, asking if they were sold here, stating it they were not she would bring a quantity with her. as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Cham berlain's Cough Pemedv. famous for its cures of cold and croup; Cham berlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back, pains in the side and chest, and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Peniedv for bowel complaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa for almost a quarter of a century. The people have learned that thev are articles of great worth amd merit, and unequaled bv any other.
