IJoliiisnii&Soii The Popular Clc-thiers We and Liberty Streets. BY 31,000 TO 40,000 Is What Republicans Claim for Maine. LIABLE TO BE EXCEEDED. Opposition Will Make Its Fight On National Issues. Augusta, Me., Sent. 14. If the weather is fair Llewellyn Powers, Re publican, will be elected governor of Maine by over 30,000 majority, with a strong possibility that the figures will be nearer 10,000. At least, that Is what the prophets of both parties, who have been figuring the vote for the past three weeks, declare. Not in 20 years has the Pine Tree state seen sucli a vigorous canvass with so much interest manifested. During the last three weeks, it Is estimated that over "00 speeches have been delivered in all sections of the state by orators of local and national fame, In behalf of both parties. Tons of campaign documents have been dis tributed. The Republican canvass has been conducted under the more favorable circumstances. Maine has uever heard so many distinguished Republi can orators as during the past few weeks. On the other hand, the Dem ocratic host has Had many dissenters within Its lines and the number of prominent deserters has been large. Six weeks ago, all was confusion and disorganization in the Democratic camp. The fighting fund was small and victory was practically Impossible. But the supporters of free silver ral lied the faltering army, and took up the contest, determined to make the best fight possible and until the last gun was fired, they resisted stubbornly. The Democratic managers maintain that the doctrines of free silver was practically unknown in Maine two months ago, and they argue that the Democratic vote winch will be cast means that their policy has made great gains injthe last few weeks. They declare that if the Republican malority falls below 20,000 it will be a Democratic victory. The governor Is the only state officer elected by the people in Maine, all others being chosen, by the legis lature. The candidates on the official ballot tomorrow will be: Hon Llewel lyn Powers rep,, Hon. Melville P. Frank, of Portland, dem.; of Colais, pro.,-and Luther C. Bateroac, of Auburn, pop. In all congressional districts, in creased majorlles are looked for, Thomas B. Reed will probably be honored with the largest majority he has ever received as It Is expected many Democratic ballots will be cast for him. His opponent, Edward W. Staples, of Biddeford has not con ducted a very thorough canvass- In the second district, the majority for Hon. Nelson DIngley will probably be Increased several thousand. Hon. Seth Mlliken rep., of Belfast, In the third district, is expected to get a majority of over 10,000. IT MAY RAIN. Augusta, Me Sept. 14:-Repqrts at hand indicate the average vote will be exceeded. The weather s cloudy but rain Is not- probable. AT PORTLAND. Portland, 3Ie. Sept. 14: All indi cations point to a heavy vote in this city.

Veron, 111., Sept. 14. Between five and six thousand people packed themselves in the courthouse squrae this morning, waiting for thexomlng of Bryan.

Bryan today denied that lie would speak from the steps of theinational capitol. lie said' he heard such a rumor and had telegraphed the com mittee In charge of the meeting at Washington that to do so would not be in accord with his wishes. "It would be a bad precedent, "said Bryan,,' and one I would not wish to establish. So far as I know no can didate for the presidency ever spoke at the capitol and I do not care to bo the first."

The house was well filled to hear tho little Salem undertakerdo up the goldbugs. He gat round after round of applause and held his audi ence to a finish for two hours.

The People Still Backing Op Bftfafi. : Hundred Thousand Hear Him in One Day, BRYAN'S SECOND TOUR. Bryan Leaves the Platte for the Black Belt. Kansas City, Sept. 12. Mr. Bryan arrived nt Kansas City at 0:30 Satur day. At tho depot wero gathered nearly n thousand workingmen from the car shops and packing-houses, who demnuded a speech. From tho rear end platform he addressed them as follows: "Fellow Citizen: 1 am very glad to bo able to speak to you, oven for n few minutes. Somo of our opponents tell us tho thing to do Is to open the mills Instead of tho mints, but that re minds mo of the man who said his horso would go all right if he could Just get tho wagon started. Laugh ter and applause. It Is putting the cart before tho horse. "What uso is thoro for the mills un less tho people can buy wlmt tho mills produce, and how caVJrou start them as long as those who produce the wealth of this country, particularly farmers, aro not ablo to get enough out of what they ralso to pay taxes and luterest. Applause.) There 4s no moro effective way of destroying the markets for what the mills pro duce than to lower prices upon tho products the farmer has raised. They will not bring him enough to pay him for raising them. "There wns a report filed by Mr. McKinley in 1800 along with tho Mc Kinley bill, which declared thoro was great Industrial depression, and whllo there was a depression in ngriculturo there could bo no prosperity anywhere. It was truo then and It Is truo today, that while there Is depression In agri cultural products there can be no prosperity nnywhero. You must com mence at tho bottom nnd work up through the other classes. You can not commenco your prosperity nt tho top nnd expect It to work down through ull tho phases of society. Applause. "You gentlemen who llvo In this city, surrounded by an agricultural country know there Is no way of bringing prosperity to Kansas city until you first bring prosperity to these toilcr9,upon whoso success Kan sas city rests. Applause. It does not require flnanclcrti; It docs not re quire n railroad attorney to tell you where your prosperity lies. Greut applause. Nor can these men pre vent you from exercising tho right of sovereignty as you plcusc." Ap plause. A voice, "They arc trying to do It." "My friends, I met a railroad man yesterday who told mtf limb whllo ho did not agree with me on the silver question, an issue had been raised greater than the silver question, and that wns whether he lived In u repub lic where a man had the right to vote as he pleased or whether his vote wus tho property of somebody else to be used us somebody else pleased." Appluuse. A voice, "Missouri gives you 100,000 majority. You bet." Another voice, 'Tut Kansas down for 00,000." Another voice, "And Arkansas did pretty well herself." Mr. Bryan, "Tills sounds very much like one of theso mcotlngs where they take up a collection." Laughter.' "My friends, there is one character- Istlo about this campaign, and that Is tho Intense earnestness of tho peo ple. Unless tho signs fall tho people,, nre going to be at tho polling places before tho booths open aud stay there until they clcso, and there won't bo a man who can get to tho polls but who will bo sure to bo there. But thar Interest means tho government Is going to bo mado more nearly what the government ought to be. That Is, ' n government which will protect tho L the humblest citizen in the land in his right to work and enjoy the fruits of his toll." Great applause. A SECOND MEETING. "Ladles nnd Gontleman: I want-topr- suggest n few propositions for you to; bear In mind In the discussion of tho money question. Our opponents tolLr us wo are going in tho faco of natural laws. I nssert that tho advocates of frco colnago aro tho only peoplo InX this campaign who base their argu ment upon natural laws applause Tho law of Bupply and demand per tains to the money question, x say when you lncrcnso tho demand for gold you ralso Its prlco or anything else by Increasing the demand for It, nnd when you ralso tho prlco of gold In a goldstnndard country you lower tho prlco of nil tho products of toll measured by raouoy. Great ap plause. Tho gold standard then means a falling of price s, and a fall ing1 of prices means hard times to everybody except tho men who own " thcv.monoy or trndo In money. Appliuso and cheers. : ''Now, nnother proposition. We bo llevo not only that tho f reo coinage of silver will ralso tho value of silver bullion, as measured by gold, but wo bellovo tho demand created by open ing tho United States mints will bo sufllclont to tako all tho surplus sliver, und thero being no silver upon tho market which cannot bo converted Into money nt our mints to uso in tho development of our industries, thero will bo no silver In tho world which can bo purchased for less than $1.20 an ounce In gold. (Great upplauso. But our opponents say 'suppose wo havo money, how aro you going to gob any of It? That, to them, Is un argu ment which nnswcrfi everything. Let mo suggest a question you can ask them. Hupposo you havo something to sell, how can you get unythlng .for lb until you find somebody who bus the money to buy what you have to sell? Applause. Bryan then Illustrated howBllver, when coined, would bo put In circula tion, no Bald in conclusion': "Have you noticed the interest tho mothers and wives havo been taking In tho money question? Why Is this? Bccauso tho mothers and wives have felt tho force or the gold standard moro than othor class of peoplo. My friends, they havo been told thut debts cnnnotwalt, Interest cannot wait, taxes cannot wait. What can wait? Why, If tho wife needs some thing shoenn wait? If tho children need something, they can wait. And therefore theso people havo had to cub down living expenses, and that means Jess sales by tho storekeepers, and that means moro failures and bankruptcies among your storekecp-' ers," Applauso and cheers.
