In the First, Second, Third and
Fourth Senatorial districts, the four
districts in the Congressional district
represented by Col. Oscar Turner,
the Democrats have not made any
nominations, but there is disorgan-
lied, frcc-for-all scramble for office,
and a deplorablc state Of affairs ex-
lists. In the Third district, COM
posed of Galloway, Lyon, Livingston,
and Trigg, there are four Democrats
and one Republican on the track,
with 5000 Democratic and 1900 Re-
publican voters in the district. From
this it will be seen that Bingham,
the Republican candidate, has first
class chance to be elected on account
of the disorganized condition of the
Democracy. Not only is this the
case in the Senatorial districts, but it
is even worse in some Of the coun.
ties composing them, in the race for
the Lower House. III some of them
half dozen candidates are out and
there is general scramble, and even
where nominations have been made
the woods are full of Independent
candidates claiming to be Democrats.
This disorganized and chaotic state
Of affairs is largely due to the doc
trincs taught and practiced by Os-
car Turner, the Independent Con-
gresham from the first district. The
Purchase Democrats are always
kicking because they are not given
State offices. They don't deserve
anything, but they need to have
Democratic evangelists sent amongst
them TO teach them the true plan of
party salvation. We expect some
Of the Purchase papers to object to
this little friendly allusion to
their district; the stern facts stare
them in the face If a denial is at
tempted, hut If they have any ex-
nlanatiOns In offer we would Inc. glad

Democrats remember that it is in
your power to increase the rcpresen-
tation of Christian county in State
conventions this year. We haze now
8 votes, one for each 200 votes cast al
the last general election. A vote OF
1901 will give Christian county II
votes in future conventions and every
Democrat in the county should exert
himself to secure that end. The extra
vote might be needed IN some future
congressional race.

This Is giving the Democrats all
the States the Republicans do not &C
tually need, and more, Of course, than
they will carry, but transfer Now
York and Ohio, or either of them
from the Republican column, keeping
in mind what bearing such transfer
will have on other States, and it will
be found impossible to fill the gap
from the other column with any de.
gree Of probability whatever. The
fight Is right in the big States, and
the Republicans must be freed from

There will be 40l votes in the next
Electoral College, POI being necessary
for u choice. The fifteen States of New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Hamphire, Vermont, Wisconsin and
Rhode Island furnish precisely the
requisite number. Ifthc Republicans
can carry all of these, they can afford
to let the Democrats have the other
twenty-threc, including Indiana, New
Jersey, Nevada, Colorado, California,
Oregon and Virginia. The - only
doubtful States in the list enumerated
above are New York and Ohio. If
the Republicans should lose New
York and Ohio, they would have to
carry all the States mentioned in the
second list, and eight more votes be-
sides, to win. There is certain
element, calling itself Republican,
which assumes that it will be good
policy to fiddle around with bargains
and promises, involving sacrifice of
principle and weakening of the par
ty at large, in order to stand chance
of securing Virginia and whatever
else can be got by trucking to Green
backism and what not.
If there is any one particular lesson
taught by the situation it is that the
party shall devote its chief energies
to the capture of New York and Ohio.
If the Democrats carry both of those
States, they will elect their candidate
beyond peradventure. There is no
chance of the Republicans gaining
Connecticut, New Jersey or Indiana
If they lose New York and Ohio. In
deed, if the Republicans lose either,
their chance to recover themselves
elsewhere is very poor. The ground
for the contest is right in the heart of
the thickest population of the country
and the policy for Republicans 1
adopt is a clear and straightforward
and an unembarrassed adherence to
sound money, honest financial con-
duct whether State or national and
the conservation of the business and
industrial interests. The progress
which men of the Chandler and Hat
ton stripe rcc0mmended-if they are
rightly representative be carried
out with reference to Virginia is pre-
cisely the thing which will weaken
the Republican veto in New York and
Ohio and the other Middle States.
The policy of relinquishing the
main citadel in the endeavor to cap
ture insignificant outposts has never
been considered a wise one. And
this is precisely what those parties
advocate who lay SO much stress on
the capture of Virginia, and perhaps
North Carolina. A careful examina.
ton of the electoral votes of the sew.
eral States is recommended to those
who think that energy can be spared
from the contest in New York ani
Ohio to be dissipated elsewhere.
