A month ago, when the Democrats ."began talking about carrying Ohio, it was regarded by the gold people as a new and maniacal outbreak of the silver "luncy." They had forgotten, if they ever knew, the vote in 1892, Ohio was a State that bad- Voted for none but Republican candidates for President for thirty years; it, was Major McKinley V home, and that settled it. Two weaks ago that dis passionate and impartial writer, Hen ry txeorge, made a tour observation through the State, mainly devoted to talking with the working classes. At the conclusion of his trip he announc ed that the State would vote for - Ryvfin Tvithnnt. a doubt. This an- noun cement was greeted with great hilarity by the gold people, and Mr. George was assigned to his proper place among the, silver lunatics, an assignment that made against his protest that he wan not a' silver man, and did not agree with the silver peo pie about amout of good free coinage would accomplish. But some of the gold people stopped their hilarity long enough to look back at the offi cial vote of Ohio in 1892. It read: ' Harrison (Kepublican). ....... 405,187 Cleveland (Democrat)... 404,115 Weaver (Populist)... 14,852 Bidwel (Prohibitionist).. 26,012 With this exhibit the hilarity ceased. The Eepuhlicau party in Ohio, on the popular vote, is in a minority of - 41,936 The Populists are certainly for Bryan; the Prohibi tionists, in view of the split in their own party, will give Bran a large support, and Mr. Bryan will get a large following of free silver Republi- - cans. With this showing, was Mr. Henry George so very much of a lunatic? The Baltimore Sun (gold) published a long letter yesterday from its correspondent in Ohio. The correspondent telegraphs from Col umbus, Oct. 13th, this. Four years ago at' this time the Republican managers in Ohio claim ed the State for Harrison by as big , a majorityas they are now casting up for Mckinley. When the votes were counted one of the Harrisson Electors was defeated. If the Democrats had been on the alert they could have bagged the ;whole lot, for the party was compar- ' atively united ' and harmonious in 1892. Ohio has not voted for a Democratic President since before 'the'war, although it has in interven ing years quite often flopped over to the Democrats, and no State has leeir more remarkable, for astonish ing and unexpected political somer saults. To these facts must "due to some extent the amazing cofidence I find here among the Bryan -mana-gers. They claim that the party was never so united as it is now, not even 1892, for their estimate of the , extent of defection of gold Demo crats puts the number at only 15,000, and this, it is insisted, is an exceed ingly generous - estimate. Fifteen r thousand votes in a poll of close on to 900,000 is not likely to exert 'much influence, especially as, accord ing to thecalculations-of the Bryan managers, at least half of it. will be thrown away on Palmer and Buck ner:. : . The correspondent, who is the well -known "F. A. R.," adds: Two of the most promi:eut men jn the Republican party Hi Ohio have not shown the int. ivt. in the ' cause 4tjat was natu ral 1 ? be ex pected of them. Seiuit r.?o Ihi Sher man' ' and ; Senator-- " ioraker , ; have lent but little of their powerful influerence to their 1 political friends - an neighbors. Mr. Sherman - made , " .a very f e w speeche is the begining of the campaign, but for '.a long time he has pleaded indisposition, r and not opened his mouth. . Mr. Foraker . has been in ; other States , making speeches,4 but has not cared ,to say 'jnnch-in nis own otate. At. Ttepub- lican tieail quar ters it was annou need , to-day that both of these gentlemen had at last" consented to -bear, a; fair Sare of the labors of the campaign fiom'now until ' the election, , and there was much rejoicing in conse qunce. It ij?, of course, , an open se cret that' neither one' of them;; down in his heart, has any use for McKin ley; They are also quite well aware that, if Mr. McKinley gets into the White House, Mark Hanna will run where and matters in Ohio and every thing else,'-and no counsel will be asked of them. ' ; ' , " " In Ohio in -No vember the Prohibi tion vote will' cut some figure. as be tween Bryan and McKinley, for a large part of it, in view of their own party split, may not go for either of Smnll wbn has been '. making ' a through canvass of Illinois for Bryan, returned to Chicago i Monday. . He thinks. that Bryan will get four fifths (20,000) of the Prohibition votes in that State. If that proportion : of it is thrown for Bryan in Ohio the re sult will be made still more certain. Mr. Small is enthuiastic in his belief that Bryan will carry Illinois. He says that the coercion that was begun in that State by the railroads with their "railroad soundmoney clubs.'? has died out, and! now you scarcely hear of one meeting. The farmers iu that State cannot be gotten to lis ten to a tariff discussion, and are overwhelmingly for free coinage and Bryan. ' - The situation in Ohio is no better for McKinley- than that in Illinois, and both show that there has been no stay of the freesilver tide, and that it is now too late to stem it. ; Richmond Dispatch. CONVERT TO ALLISM. BIMET- Several weeks ago a special com mission was delegated by the Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago to visit Mexico for the purpose of mak in a study of the money question as presented in the experience of our sis ter republic. The commission was composed of Messrs. P. J. Maas and .Patrick En right, both men of strong sense and keen faculties of observation. As a result, of the visit to Mexico one of these commissioners, Mr. P. J. Maas, has returned home a zealous advocate of free coinage, and intends to mount the stump in defense ot that princi ple. ; - , Says the commissioner in speak ing . of his Mexican observa tions: " ' When I started for Mexico I was apathetic on the money question. 1 had not made up my mind as to what would the best ; policy for the United States. My trip has removed every douDt held - by me and I am Dow an ardent lrce silverite. IT the United States would adopt" free sil ver it would injure the trade of En gland and other European gold coun tries. Talk about protection to American workingmeh ! There never was a better - plan advanced than the free coinage of silver, it would encourage home manufactures; as their product would be purchased by the people of the United States in preference to those of England or her countries.' The United States and Mexico are not to be compared from a labor standpoint. The natives of Mexico are a lazy; shiftless lot, but if, they had-the energyof the workihgmen (of this country their, chances for better ing their condition would be increas-J ed a thousand fold , by the fact that Mexico is a free silver country.- " Such testimony as the foresnio rotn a man who was wholly a n bias on the'money question at , the time ot'.Lis' visit to Mexico is worth thou san'dsof votes to ' the Democratic tjeket in the approaching election. k If in addition o free coinage. Mexico was blessed with such a cli mate as, this country enjoys it would be one of the most prosperous nations on the globe. Atlanta Constitution.

The only thing before him is to go on the next four 'years as he has the past the same downward coarse, worse'off lext year than be was this; and further behind in 1898 than he was 1897. When time's are worse next year he will be. given to understand that it is because the country is still engaged in the patriotic work of setting down on a solid (sold) financial basis. If he protests against it, he will be told be is an Anarchist, just what he is being told this year. , Another unanswered question is, What is to become of the wage earnes if the couDtry has four years of- McKinleyisin? What is to be done for the thousands of unemploy ed workmen and clerks now in the country in the nfxt four-years, and what for the other thousands that will be added to their ranks?. Will the closed factories and workshops be opened? No, for those who have consumed their products have. n money. Would protection help it? No, for the people have riot the mon ey to buy goods made either at home or abroad. The unemployed will grow in number. In the next four years, under the gold standard, more railroad men will join them, more join them; more .skilled workmen will join them; men now in good places, with good wages, com fortably satisfied about their . future, and advocating the gold . standard as a good thing, will join them; For the gold god devours its worshippers along with the rest. h What is there under the gold standard in the next four years to give working .people,, employed or unemployed; a ray of hope of bettering their condition? ; s Have not the f armers1 and' the workmen 1 of this country suffered enough arid borne enough in order to double the value; of gold?
