"I am somewhat surprised at the result
In Maine , " said Mr lljnum to a reporter
"I hardly believe that any of our western
states will furnish such a complete surprise
In November In fact , while I bellevo
Ilryan will be hopelessly beaten , the hardest
kind of work Is necessary to drive the false
sentiment for which ho stands out of the

did the Vermont election The icsult
Bcems to Indicate tint a largo number of
democrats must have voted the republican

quiet votes cast by men who think deeply ,
but say very little.
"I think It clearly shows that surprises
of the same character will bo found to come
from all ot the elates In the union next
November. "
"Do you think that It will have such an
effect on Mr. Sew all as to make him with
draw from tne presidential ticket ? " was
asked.
"No. I don't think so , " said the general
quickly. "I don't see anj thing for him to
do but to stay with bis ship and go down
with It. That Is what I should do In his
case. His withdrawal would put the demo
cratic party In a very peculiar nosltlun , as
't would place them clearly In the populist
ranks. "

WASHINGTON , Sept. 15 Senator Jones ,
chairman of the democratic committee , left
for Washington today. When asked for an
opinion as to the result of the Maine elec
tion , ho bild "When we consider that be
fore the democratic national convention was
held the democrats of Maine held a conven
tion and nominated a. gold ticket and that
subsequently they mrt and reversed this ac
tion , declaring for silver , and that this was
followed soon by an election at which the
party cast ' 3,000 votes moro than It did two
years ago I think It shows a marvelous
gain for sIHer. Instead , thercfoie , of feel
ing disheartened over the result , I feul
greatly encouraged. It must be remembered
that Maine Is In the extreme cast , vvhero
vvo iiovor had hoped for any but the most
meager results for silver. The returns ought
to add to the hopes of our friends all over
the country. "
Chairman Babcock of the republican con
gressional campaign committee today said :
"Tho result of the eli-ctlon In Maine will beef
ofvery great value to all business nnd finan
cial Intel e-.ts at this time. II
will restore confidence In financial
circles anil not only In this country , but
Ihionghout the world Wo looked for a
largo majority In Maine but hardly expected
It to equal the plurality given In 1S94. when
so many democrats refused to vote , but It
has exceeded that plurality by about 30 per
cent and no one can for a moment doubt that
this vote In Maine Indicates the sentiment
of the great northeastern states The states
where there aio laigo mnuufaeturlng and
agricultural Interests , the states whoso people
ple read and have an Intelligent voting popu
lation , will. In my opinion Join the proces
sion and follow the lead set by Veimont
and Maine
"Tho kej of n situation In n campaign Is
to iletormlno which way the tide Is setting
This la often oxtieinoli dllMcult to do Two
yoara ago at this time after the Oiegon ,
Vermont and Malno elections , I recognized
and claimed that they were indicative of the

the contest , and my opinion and predictions
were fully borne out by the icault In Novem
ber. This > ear the majoiltles In Vermont

this I e.in draw only one conclusion and that
Is that tl.e great manufartuilug and agri

SPRAKS IN THG RAIN.
At KmlnenceT u hai ] started to rain , but
nearly 1,000 of the c1tl/ons of Henry count )
had ( locked about A little sneaker's stand
to which Mr. 13ran w.-.s taken. He gave
a ten-minute speech , devoting himself for
the most part to answering the statement
made by his opponents that in consequence
of the greater production of silver than
of gold the whiter metal had depreciated
and would depreciate- value. He ad
milled that the ! product of silver had been
three times aiT groht In the last tvvcntj
) cars , but ho said lllat In the last five years
the production of gold had Increased more
rapidly than Iho production of silver and
that the gold prlbo of silver bullion had
fallen moie than at any other lime He
said lhat the prlroiof silver was affected
b ) the law of BUpnlyi and demand and that
when the United States icpealod the Shci-
min law and Ktoppwl the purchase ot 54- <
000,000 ounces"of silver that It had de-
cieased the price of sliver because It les
sened the demand for It
During his speech the rain began to fall
In torrents and Mr. Bryan told his audience
that It would bo cruel to them to have to
stind in the rain , but immediately there
vveio shouts for him to go on , rain or no rain
The rain was still falling v hen the train
pulled Into Ihe little- hamlet of Bagdad , aud
but a small crowd dared the storm to look at
the candidate In this crowd was a ) oung
woman who , with KOMO temerity , looked at
Mr. finan and said "My name Is Bran ami
my folks nio from Culpopper county , Va
I am ) our cousin , "
"I am glad lo meet ) ou , " said Mr. Bryan
with his best smllo , "and I think that If
I secure he vote of all my kin folks I will
have a piett ) respectable showing"
This was the last stop bpfoio Frankfort
wns leached where tha candidate was billed
to speik half an hour. In his speech at
I'Vankfoi t Mr Bryan emphasized his state
ment of last night that those who did not
believe In the free coinage of sllvei , demo
crats or republicans should vote the stiflght
republican ticket. The rain was falling In
torrents when the train pulled Into Frank
fort and Mi. Bian was conducted to the
platform In the com thouso square under an
umbrella , which was Knocked aside over )
minute by the efforts of his southern ad
mlrers to grasp him by the hand. During
his speech of fifteen minutes the rain con
tinued , to pour rown
but his audience of 1,500 people stood In
the wet and ) elled for him to go on Mr
Bryan said that ho wished circumstances
were such that ho could addiess the people :
assembled on the Issues of the campaign
but thit under the circumstances ho coulil
not do any more than present himself and
give his pledge , which he had already given
tluougli his letter of acceptance , that he
was In hearty accord with the declara
tions contained In the Chicago platform
Ho eulogUed Senator Blackburn as one-
who Is In the front of every fight for the
people and in consideration of the audience
that was enduring the storm said gooelby
Ho was loudly cheered throughout.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 35 ( Special Tell-
gram ) Congressman Strode of Lincoln
reached hero tonight from New York. Ho
sas BO an cannot cairy Nebraska.
"The fight that the BO an men are mak
ing , " ho said , "Is a voiy peculiar one , es
pecially since Mr. Bryan's return fiom the
cast. They have dropped argument alto
gether and arc slmpl ) appealing to passion
They know the people of our state have suf
fered tlnough Iho past three ) cais from
short crops and the farmers are generally
Eettliig low prices because of the fact that
the vv 01 Id's market Is being largely supplied
by parts of the world where wheat can be
produced very cheaply.
"The consequence is they are simply ap
pealing to that class of people
with attempts to arouse piejudlce.
Their cry Is 'Wall street aud
London ' They do not attempt to make ai-
guinent any longci. It Is a deplorable con
dition of things and an alarming one , so
far as relates to Its general effect on the
country , though I cannot bellevo that tuc-li
appeals are to bo successful in the cam-
pa Inn. "
Mr. Slrode is confident of not only cairy-
iiig the stale , bill also of caiilng Mr.
Bryan s dislrict , and even his own town
In speaking of the situation In his own dis
trict , Mr. Strode said : "I feel vurv much
encouraged at the prospect In my dish let.
[ have been very busily engaged In cam
paigning In the dtbtilct evci since I \\an
nominated , and have organized republican
clubs in over ) town in the district. At
the tlmo of the Chicago convention It was
an even chance that my opponent would bo
elected. Sound money lllcratuie has been
llberplly distributed , and voters have been
shown Ihe fallacy of Iho argumenls of Ihe
sllverilcs , and now they are enthusiastic
sound money advocates I feel confident
that when Ihe voles ale cast I will not only
carry the district , but the city of Lincoln
itself will help bwell my majority , in splto
of Iho fact that it Is Bonn's oun town
I think thai yeslerda's elecliou In Maine
will convince Ihe farmers lhal Iho rcpub-
Ican paity is the friend of the agrlcultuilst
They will reason lhat Ihe same difficulties
exist there ns are present In Nebraska , and
: hey w III vole for sound money and protec-
lon The majority for McKlnley and Hobart
will. In my Judgment , bo anywheio from
10,000 to 25,000 "
Judge Strode will hold a consultation with
Chairman Babcock and Keprest illative Mei-
cer at the republican headquarters tomorrow
and will leave for homo Thursday
A letler was received at the republican
coiigresslcnal headquarters today from Sam
uel C. Sample , a well known republican of
ilutte. Neb Ho speaks of Hoyil and Holt
counties an being "darkest Nebraska , " and
as having always given popullatle majoiltles
lo says ho has made a careful canvass of
> oth counties , and Is worranled In saying
hat the republicans will carry both , and
Ibis being an indication of Iho feeling
hroughout the Btato , the republicans will
surely carry the stale
