Mt. Pleasant, Mich., Oct. '1.- Unless there should be a great change within the next two weeks this county wil! give Candidate Bryan and the whole silver ticket a rousing majority in November. There is perfect harmony between all of the allied ïorces that are working lor silver and some predict that tne county will carry for silver by 1,000 majority. The county is gure to give a strong majority for the whole fusión ticket. Most of the prominent Republicans of the county, and on whom the grand old party has always relied in the past, are now out stumping the county for Bryan and silver. Among some of the local Republicans that have been active in the past in advancing the interests of Republicanism are exSenator I. A. Pancher, ex-Senator S. W. Hopkins, Rev. C. M. C. Cook, and a score or more of ex-county officials and township officers who are now making the path of the present g. o. p. managers a rocky one to travel. In some of the townships the silver sentiment is so strong that there will be scarcely a dozen gold standard tickets voted in November. This is notably true in Vernon, Gilmore, Rolland, Nottawa, Fremont, Lincoln and Chippewa townshipS' - in ihe last named township where the Democrats have rarely since the war put a ticket in the field in local elections, the Republicans found themselves without an organization when they carne to cali their primarles. This condition has been laid before the state central committee and the county has been flooded with speakers and goldbug literature but of no avail. The more gold standard arguments the farmers hear the more silver shouters they make - even Daniel E. Lyons threw himself into the breach and this did not stop the break for the American standard so gallantly borne aloft by Mr. Bryan.
