OUR LINCOLN LETTER. ( Continued from pagre one. ) cesities of the. other and the poor have least to buy with and pay the most tax in proportion. 0 The simple downright truth of the . political situation is that the managers of the campaign dare not believe the reports that come to them they are too good. The managers are simply dazed by the rosy reports that come from every quarter. There are scores of things that are having a bearing on the present struggle , one of the chief being the bank guarantee is sue. This is especially strong in the west. The tariff issue is cut ting a big figure in the east and strange as it may seem , a lot of manufacturers who are working up an export trade are foremost in demanding tariff revision along democratic lines. The union la bor vote is tending solidly towards Bryan. Another influence is at work that it may not be well to mention , but it is heard on every side , discussed quietly. It means thousands of votes. Mr. Metcalf , who has just re turned to Lincoln from a three weeks' visit in Chicago , where he was consulting with the democrat ic managers , says the advices from all sections are simply amazing in their uniform optimism. -0 While in St. Paul last week Mr. Bryan stepped into a music store and asked to have a phonograph grind out some of his own and Mr. Taft's speeches. Mr. Taft's speech was run first and Mr. Bryan lis tened with interest. Then one of his own speeches was put on the cylinder and Mr. Bryan listened with a smile. When his own speech was concluded Mr. Bryan turned to the throng about him and with a broad smile on his face said : "Gentlemen , I am now con vinced. " -0- Another "straw : " One day last week the writer "snuck away" from work and ran down to his old home in Missouri for a day's fishing. While there he talked with an old friend , a democrat , who proceeded to give the situation in his own locality. Pie gave the names of thirty-five republicans in that one county who were sup porting Bryan. Of the thirty-five the writer knew twenty-five per sonally , and knows that they have always been staunch republicans. WILL M. MAUTIX. J. R.
