The Portland daily press., 1888-11-05

Indiana is claimed by the managers of
both parties, and apparently with the
greatest confidence. But both can't be right.
Somebody is going to be disappointed. In
diana is always very close State. 1t is q
State too in which the politics of both par
ties are very intense. An Indiana Republic
can is very stalwart Republican, and an
Indiana Democrat is very stalwart DEM
ocrat. New issues therefore are likely to
have less influence in Indiana than in a
State like New York, where politics are less
bitter and where allegiance to party is not
quite so strong. The tariff question will
therefore make fewer changes in Indiana
than in New York, and the old voters will
probably to very large extent vote as they
have been accustomed to vote. In all prob
ability therefore the result in the Hoosier
State will be decided by the new voters. The
Republicans confidently believe that enough
of these will support Harrison to
give him substantial majority.
A great many of these voters are the sons
Of veterans, who the Republicans believe
win vote as their fathers fought. Local
pride is expected also to turn good many
Of them to Harrison. The Republicans ex-
pect some profit, too, from dissensions in the
Democratic ranks, which undeniably exist.
The chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee insists that the State is certain to
go Republican, and he predicts plurality of
10000. He gives solid reasons for his conf
dence, too. 1t must be borne in mind, how
ever, that the State is naturally close, and
that its population is very large So that very
slight changes in each election district would
greatly affect the result. A fair summary of
the situation seems to be that the State is
doubtful, with the chances favoring the Re-
publicans.

wives who are annoyed by the pests. A
naturalist who has looked closely into the
habits of the fly said; 1.-THE swarms Of flies
that are so troublesome during the latter
part Of the summer and in the fall, hatch out
in the house. The screens shut them in in
stead Of keeping them out, and really do
more harm than good. 1t is physically Inn
possible to keep every fly out of the house in
summer time, but by exercising little care,
thousands of them may be excluded.
Nearly all of the trouble Is caused by
about dozen sluggish specimens that
emerge from their winter retreats on the
first warm days of spring. They may be
FOUND on the sunny windows Of any room
not in constant use. They should be killed
at once, as they deposit the eggs from which
the millions Of summer flies are Matched.
They are prolific insects and one old fly is
capable Of populating a whole house with
progeny in single summer. Instead of
killing the first fly Of the season, many peo-
pie make pet Of 1t. Its sluggishness and
half frozen condition excite pity, and it is
not unusual for the most careful housekeeper
to feed and warm 1t out Of pure tender heart
edness. A folded towel should be kept
handy and the early flies killed as soon as
they appear. Then II care is taken to leave
no particles of food and sugar scattered
around the kitchen and dining room, and to
keep all substances on which flies feed COW
cred, there Will be no trouble from flies.
Some families who take these precautions
even dispense with screens in the windows
and doors. II the flies come in from OUT
doors they find nothing to live on ana seek
more cOpgenial Quarters IL is hest tn use
screens, however, as damp and rainy weather
invariably drives flies into the house. and
they are troublesome until it is clear and
warm outside"
The Portland daily press., 1888-11-05


to the old method which in the first days of
the government had been followed by nearly
If not all the States. With these exceptions
the other States in the jackson campaign
chose their electors by vote of the people
on general ticket. South Carolina contin-
ued up to the time of the civil war to select
her electors by the Legislature, but came in
to line with the other States when she came
back in the election of 1868. So late as 1876,
Colorado, then just admitted, chose her
electors in the Legislature. Congress has not
presumed in the electoral count bill to say
how the States shall choose their electors.
1t has merely determined how those electors
shall be counted. especially in doubtful
cases where both parties In any State may
each claim that its electors should be recog-
nized, as was the case in Louisiana in 1876.
The new law provides that:
II any state shall have provided, by laws enact
Cd prior 10 the day hxed for the appointment of
the electors. for its final determination OF any
controversy or contest concerning the appoint
cie or ary u tne electors Of such state by
aetefmination shall have been made at least sjx
Gays before the time fixed for the meeting Of the
such law so existing on said day, and made at
least SIX DAYS prer to the said time of meeting Of
e mi snali pc conclusive, and shall govern
III tne counting OF the electoral votes etc.
To give sufficient time for the settlement of
all disputes within the limit of time, the
meeting Of electors is fixed by the new law
on the Second Monday of January, instead
OF the first Wednesday of December, the day
on which the electors have met since 1892.
But there might be disputes which the peo-
pie Of State could not settle within the
given time. There might be two State gov
ernments, or with one State government
there might through defective or confictng
laws, or for some other reason, be two sets
Of electors each claiming election. The new
law provides that in cases where two or more
sets of electors may claim rights under
authority CT rival governments of the
same State, the votes of those electors
only shall be counted whose title as
electors the two Houses [of Congress1 acting
separately, shall concurrently decide is sup
ported by the decision of such State so au-
thorized by its laws" And in the case of
more than one return those votes only shall
be counted which were cast by electors
whose appointment shall have been duly
certified under the seal of the State by the
Executive thereof, in accordance with the
laws of the State. unless the two Houses,
acting separately, shall concurrently decide
such votes not to be the lawful votes of the
legally appointed electors of each State"
The provisions Of the bill in all the minor
details areclear and explicit, both Democrats
and Republicans periodically uniting to
perfect it, There isno probability that such
law will be needed this year, but there is
now, as there always will be in every like
contest. possibility of such need.
