Our Prospects.
The Weekly issue Of the Express on
Wednesday will be the last previous TO the
State election. 1t is we'll, therefore, that
we say a word to our Republican readers
10 relation 10 our prospects.
In the county OF yigo there can Certain
ly be but little doubt Of the success OF our
entire county ticket. by an average major
ity of at least $50. However. there should
be no cessation Of our efforts to make the
majority as large as possible. Dor county
ticket is composed of men. every one OF
whom is peculiarly fitted to fill the posi-
ton to which be aspires. No Republican
or we'll wisher Of the county ofVigo. but
must feel a just pride. when be compares
the two tickets presented 10 the people Tor
their support. The most encouraging news
comes from each Of the townships, and the
Republicans will carry every township III
the county by incress ed msjorities. with the
exception Of three. or perhaps -four, at far
thsst. Harrison township will give the lar
esst Republican majority she has ever Civ
en- but our ticket will come into this town
ship respectfully ahead.
From The Cong ressiopsl District we have
the most encouraging reports In 1855
Mcclure, Democratic candidate for Secre-
tary of State, beat Peelle. the Republican,
candidate only GA votes-while LANCE,
the Republican candidate for Auditor OF
State, beat Dodd, the Democratic candi-
date 81 votes. The vote for Secretary Of
State, is perhaps the beat criterion of the
strength OF the two parties in this Dis
trict at that time. We have then but GA
m aiority to overcome, aud it will be recol
lected that this was attained, when Sulli-
van gave 1895 Democratic majority. Sui
livsn will not give over 700 Democratic
majority now. aud Clay will give not to
exceed $50. thus making the Democratic
msjorities in the District 1850. The Re
publicans will get 600 majority in Parke,
$50 in Vernillion. 900 in Putnam and $50
in Vigo, making Mr.. Nelson's maiorities in
the District 1900 and electing him by $50
over his opponent. In this estimate We
give msjorities to neither party in the coun'
ties Of Owen aud Greene. While the
Democrats may by possibility get small
majority in Oven, il will be more than off
set by the Republican majority in Greene.
Thus it will be seen that every thing is
encouraging TO the Republicans in this
county, and throughout this District. We
have but TO go to the polls, euery man rrho

eating us up under this Democratic rule,
