tory, the campaign machinery will not be set
In motion again this year. The vote on Mon
day will be larger than that in Novem-

the position of the people Of this
State upon National issues There are
but two regular tickets now in the field. SET
ting aside as hardly worthy of calculation the
Prohibitory party, whose candidate will not
receive more than 200 or 800 votes. The
Greenback and Democratic parties have
united in all their nominations except in a
single county. Last year, voting separately,
each for its own fubernatorial candidate,

which, with: the addition Of 343 scattering,

Republican candidate, received. The Re-
publicans started in this campaign, there:
fure, with that vote to overcome They have
found their work easier and simpler in fight
ing united instead of a divided opposition.
No fusion Of such divided elements as are
represented By the Greenbackers and Demo-
cratic parties, however complete in Its out
ward: - organization, could unite all,
the members OF: each In hearty COOPERATION.
It could not be otherwise than that there
should have been much disagreement be-
tween the two factions The nominations
have been very fairly divided, indeed. Per
haps the Greenbackers have had more than
their share, but in very many cases the men
who have been selected as candidates have
been personally Objectionable to one side or
the other of the fus1ng bodies. The result has
been good deal of internal discord in the
opposition, and mutual recriminations and
threats which will be carried out at the polls
BIZ scratching. The Fusion leaders have
also been unfortunate in their general con-
conduct Of the campaign. One, of the most
disastrous b1unders they have made was the
importing into the State and placing upon
their stump the Southern Brigadfers. This
disguised many of the rank and file, and
raised howl Of indignation all over the
State. Gen. Weaver's utterances On the
Southern question and the account Of his
personal experiences also aided in bringing
back into the Republican ranks many of
those who had deserted from them, but who
were alarmed for the country. Confronted
by the Solid Democratic South the Repub-
ucans have made the most Of this issue, and
have presented it with great prominence and
force -
TIE STATE STEAL
attempted last winter has furnished the
topic upon which the local speakers have
principally dwelt, the Republicans de-
nouncing it and the Fustonists defending
it as according to law and precedent 1t is as
tonishing how soon the popular sentiment
upon that matter has become deadened, so
that now the people of the State, the very
great majority of whom few months ago
were in white heat Of passion at the out
rage upon them, have to be shaken
up vigorously before they will re-
member it. Still the Republican cause
has been considered strengthened by
the appeal upon this ground, and there are
quite number OF Democrats who will vote
against the Fusionists for the action Of their
Representatives In the countrout.
No campaign has ever been marked By
such great skill and astonishing earnestness
on the part Of the Republicans and by such
bluster and dogged resistance on the part Of
the Opposition. The latter have been beaten
from the start, and have been gradually
losing ground" Three weeks ago there was
A STAMPEDE ALL ALONG THE LINE. r
The National Democratic party gave up the
State, and Withdrew their speakers. During
the past ten days other, counsels prevailed.
and in order to save the Fusionists, if pos
siole. from Overwhelming defeat, speakers
and money:1laye been furnished from abroad.
The most conservative Of the Republican
leaders place Davis majority atnot less Than
50oo Others who have had large opportu-
mites for observation, Gen. Fitzpatrick for
one. say it will be 10000 or possibly u, 600.
A majority of 5000 would be gain Of 200

the past two has been from Il, 900 to $1,000. 1t
should be remembered, however, that ma
jority Of only 5000 In this State is in about

The majority either way for Milliken or
