it seems that the republicans have beer
more careful than their opponents in com
plying with its provisions. Nor has Sen
ator Thurman been able to warm up the
democratic heart to the work in hand. He
remained silent during all the first months
OF the canvass and finally came forth
from his seclusion when longer reticence
might be construed into want of sympa'
thy with his party. Ga the occasion OF
his first speech the Cincinnati Enquirer re-
marked that as it was so very late when
he appeared upon the political race
course it was to be hoped he would reveal
some good points before the meeting
closed. But this hope was scarcely real
lied. Il is true that the Senator held
forth for two full hosrs. but as he occu-
pied most OF the time in ulreshlng over
the old Electoral Commission straw
mighty few grains of wheat Cor perhaps
rye would be moe to the democratic
taste) were found to cheer his hungry
listeners. AIR. Thurman seemed 10 for
get that at the very hour he was speaking
his democratic brethren in the South were
burying out of sight the last remnants OF
the corpse whose ghost he was trying to
raise. And, illogically enough, after do
ing his best to belttle the work OF the
President as TO the South, he turned short
round, and said that Mr. Hayes was only
doing the work he had recommended for
the last ten years. Such qualification
could not escape even the befogged minds
of his democratic audience. The address
evidently fell Hat upon the party through
out the State. IL neither made votes nor
awakened interest. 50 Mr.. Thurman as
a factor in the campaign may be elimina-
ted without further trouble. He fell far
short of the expectation of his party in
this speech at Marion, and no other effort
is likely to meet it.
Good judges who have looked over the
ground with care, think that if anything
like full vote is polled the republicans
will elect their State ticket and carry the
Legislature. In 1873, when Allen was
elected by 500 majority, there was a de-
creased republican vote of 81, 1903, while
the decreased democratic vote was only
81 ,2i5. The result this year depends up
on which party has the greater per cent,
of its vote out. There is another ele-
ment which enters into the contesl-the
strength of the Workingmen's party
There are no developments yet which
clearly Indicate which of the two
parties will suffer most from this move
ment. But it is generally thought the re-
publicans will not be hurt much by it,.
When the returns come in we shall know
more about 1t, and an interesting study of
the question may then be presented in the
result. albany Journal.
