Having been askec by the New York World to explain vrhy the Demócrata oarriedMcKiuley'shonie town, which gave him a large majority last November, he wrote as follows: "Failure to make good the promises made by the Republicaus last fall, general suffering and distress aruoug the laboriug classes, inability to do a prosperóos business on ' confidence, ' have caused people voting for McKinley for president to realize that the interests of the masses and classes are not mutual so far as Republicau rule is concerned. "This causes the falling olï in the Republican vote f rom last fall and the general Democratie victories throughout the country. People now believe that a change of conditions can be accomplished only by restoration of bimetallism. "
