What was the only republican sim.
plicity when you get to IL? suppose
this socially corrupt Washington, which
so needs reformation, may safely stand
by the example OF the man who gave il
its name. With what republican sin
plicity did he dress and live? From
the private memoirs by his adopted
son and granddaughter we learn that
a single servant combed and tied his
hairs in the prevailing fashion, which
was 10 let II grow long, powder il with
puff-ball made OF cotton yarn, which,
with the powder, was carried in dress
ed buckskin pouch-aud tie IL up in a
long bunch with ribbon, behind. l
believe that General Grant gets his
hair combed with more republican sim
plicity. Washingtons every day dress
when riding about the farm was plain
drab, but when President his style and
equipage "corresponded with the dig
nifty Of his exalted station" His ordi-
nary dinner dress was n suit OF black,
his hair powdered and tied in black
queue, and very elegant dress sword.
Whoever saw President Grant carving
sword? When he addressed the Hall
OF Congress in Philadelphia he was
dressed in q fullsuit Of the richest black
velvet, with diamond knee-buckles,
and square silver buckles set upon
shoes japanned with the most scrupu-
lous neatness, black silk stocking, his
shirt ruffled at the breast and wrists, a
light dress sword, his hair profusely
powdered, fully dressed SO as to pro-
ject at the sides, and gathered behind
in silk bag ornamepted with largo
rose OF black riband. His cooked hat
had large cockade on one side OF it.
When President Grant delivered his
last inaugural, bare headed in the cold
and savage wind, he was not only de-
nuded OF diamonds, velvet, rufiies, and
buckles, but he had not so much as q
silk bag about his frozen earsl Wash
ington's carriage was OF hight cream
color, painted on the panels with beau
tiful groups by Cipriani representing
the four seasons. fIe was preceded by

TO-DAY's VERDICT.

To-day Indiana. Ohio. and West vir.
ginia hold their State elections. The in
teres. manifested in the result 10 intense.
II Is the general belief that a. Indiana |
goes to-day so the Presidential vote will
go on the 7th prox. Both sides have |
made tremendous Efforts for success. and
both parties are confident OF victory.
The custom Of placing national politics
pre.sninent to State issues. invests the
campaign in Indiana and Ohio with ex.
traordiuary importance. and as the result
will be considered as greatly affecting
the issues Of the November election, Re-
Publican and Democratic speakers have
been sant into all tho highways and by.
ways, and have oauvassed both States
more thoroughly than ever before. In
Indiana there are ninety.two counties.
or these thirty .seven will give large
Democratic majorities; thirty-ons will
give Republican maioritiss, and the other
twen,y.four are claimed by both sides.
The Democratic Candidate for Governor,
Blue Jeans Williams. seems to be a
general favorits with the farmers. and
the Democrats fgure on immense ma
jorities from all the rural districts. The
excitsmens and enthusiasm in this State
is intense. The Republican candidate
for Governor is the grandson OF General
Harrison, who on the strength Of Tip
pecsuoe and Tyler too. " went into the
White house in the famous log-cabin
and hard cider campaign OF 1910.
In Republican PROFESSIONS in Indiana,
last week. log.oabins with live coons
chained ON top were prominent features.
The Democratic majority at the last
State election in Indiana was 1882
That party clainl that their m .jority to.
night in the Hoosier State will be 1000
But this result-should it occur-must
not be expected to infalIibly pressge q
Democratic victory In November. 1t is
q singular thing to say about the party
Of State sovereignty, but nevertheless
true, that the Democrats are more prone
to connect national aud local issues than
the r pnblioans are. In 1868. Indiana
gave II 1872 Republican majority at thu
Octob-r election. Four weeks after tha
State gave Republican majority Of Al,
SAG. In October, 1872. the Republican
majority in Indiana was l4.05O; the mex
month they sw-lled il to 1851. Thes'
figures show that vide degree OF Re
publican discrimination is used In judg
ing between State and National issues
In Ohio the Democrats claim the Ger
man vote" There are 49,. 1887 peopl
living 10 Ohio that are natives Of Ger
many. or these. probably GO, 900 ar
voters. There are about 600, 900 vote
cast in the Buckeye State. Hayes ma
jority last Fall was 5,443. Then th
Democrats were smittsn with the so
money madness. This time they asseI
that they will take his own State iror
Hayes by 10000 majority. The fight
acloss one, aud election returns for til
next three days will be interesting reat
ing to many.
