iNDIAN.PaIlS Oct 20 1888 You can
not Iudge OF Indiana politics as compared
with many other States said Thomas B
ByrneS, Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer, to the Herald correspondent
to day "Almost every voter in the State is
known and large part Of our campaign
work consists of entertaining aud holding
together both the certain and uncertain
clements. This calls for scientific rather
than ordinary political ability in manage

The correspondent was waiting to see
Chairman ,jeWett at the Democratic eXecu-
tive quarters III the old State House when
these observations were made, and as the
young chairman rushed in and out, his
hands full of telegrapflic dispatches, nod
ding to one visitor, shaking hands with
another, and in between it all endeavor-
ing TO dictate answers to communications,
il was apparent that the executive work
was difficult and continuous.
The fact of the matter is" said MIR.
Jewett, that the cioseness of cur State
organizations compels incessant work and
watchfulness. Our opponents are hust-
lag day and night, and we have to hustle
10 meet them. Each side naturally is
paying a good deal of attention to the
wavering vote. We present All issue
We appeal TO principle. The fiscal policy
Of ths national administration, the pro-
posed reduction of taxation, the excellence
of Democratic government during four
years are themes that challenge attention
