History Repeats Itself.

History haa curious way OF repeating
itself. In 1910 the Whigs, having elected
Harrison, looked with confidence to long
career of party control, Just rs with the
return OF their party in 1874 the Democrats
counted on continued dscendancy. In the
electoral college Harrison had 234 elect
oral votes against Van Buren's CO. and
the majority Of the popular vote was with
him. -Four years later Polk carried both
the popular and the electoral vote. and
the Wings went out TO regain power four
years later, only to lose 1t again when
Pierce was chosen President. The Re
publican party may now fancy that it has
come to stay. But the readiness with
which changes may be made has just been
illustrated in one Of many such elections.

ROTTEN INDIANA.
How tile State was Carried ut the
Recent Election.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Mail this after.
noon prints the following from Indiana
polls, Ind. The startling developments
that are expected to follow the indict.
ment of bribers at the recent election will
shake Indiana TO its center. Many of
the names sent in to the United States
district attorney for offenses against the
state arc those OF men prominent in the
Republican party, chairmen of commit
tees, ex-federal office-hoIders, county
officers of note and men whose reputa-
tion have extended beyond the state,
and who were known in the past for
their integrity and uprightness. Over a
thousand complaints have been filed AT
the office of Uuited States District At
torney Sellers. The most scrupulous
care is being exercised in arranging the
cases. Not man will be brought before
the grand jury whose evidence can not
be corroborated and no case will be pre-
sented without the most convincing
evidence. A man in Dearborn county,
tits said. was offered 81 day for a
year to change from Cleveland to Har-
rison. A man convicted in the United
States court for counterfeiting four
months ago was reprieved before the
expiration of his term. On election day
lie was taken TO the polls by the sheriff
and allowed to vote

New York Herald: Do you know
what the country has been saved by re-

apple that you are not half as grateful
as'you ought to be. Put on your spec
tacles and your thinking cap. The
West Virginia yote is good deal like

YOU see it and now you don't. AT first
10 was supposed to be Democratic /; then
it turned out to be Republican. After
ward. and on moro careful count, was
reclaimed by the Democrats, but the Re-
publicans insisted that the State belongs
20 them. 1t is regular wigglc waggle
aud the slender majority is good deal
like a drunken man who takes both
sides of the street on his way home
Now, then il New York had gone for
Cleveland, the result of the elections
would depend on West Virginia. And
what a rtimpus we should have! The
country would by this time be in an
uproar. Politicians and wire pullers
and artfnl dodgers would play their
sbrewd tricks and VIC should have q
perfect cyclone OF elimination and suS-
picion and open charges OF corruption,
and ali the iegions of sheol would be let
