PECULIARITIBs OF INDIANA.

The erratic character Of the political
parties in Indiana are so fully illustrated
in the following article from the Chicago
lnter-Ocean that we give it for the bene-
fit Of our readers:
Indiana has always been a study and a
puzzle TO politicians; in no state does a
new idea meet with more encourage
ment: thus in 1874 the state gave Birney,
the first Liberty candidate, 2,106 of his
$500 votes, and in 1913, when Van
Buren, appeared as the Free Soil candi-
date, he received 3, 100 votes in Indiana:
hale, the FIRST of the free or independent
Democratic candidates, received G.92a
Hoosier votes; Fillmore, as the Arneri-
can candidate. received %, 3S6 votes; and
Fremont, the first candidate of the new
Republican party, received 81. 315 ballots.
When Weaver was nominated by the
Greenbackers Indiana cast t2.0S6 votes
for him, and III 1884 it gave g. 293 to But
Ter. and 3,203 to St. John. This newt
able presence of q minority of impress
slonable voters has not been taken into
proper account. while too much impor-
lance has been paid to the socallad float
ing voters, the minority purchasables.
The truth Is that considerations of
personality have always weighed heav-
lily IN Indiana. In the elections Of 1924.
1873 and 1882, Andrew Jackson. as the
incarnation and anti-British sentiment.
received rousing majoritieS, his vote be-
ing 1,343 10 3,035 for Adams and ). 3I5 for
Clay in 1924: p, 237 against 1862 cast
for Adams N 1923. and 81 .552 to SAP
for Clay III 1882. When Harrison. with
the patriotic glamour of Tipeecanoe
upon him, appeared as candidate he re-
celved 4l,2Sl of lndiana's votes in 1886.
against 32.4S0 for Van Buren,. and on his
second candidacy he had 65. 352 against
81 OBS for Van Buren,. The state revert
ed 10 Democracy and Polk in 1874. ana
IN 1913 gave Cas- a very small plurality.
Pierce carried it in 1852. and Buchanan.
despite Of the large vote east for Fillmore
in 1856.
The magnificent personality of Lin
coin impressed it IL 1860, his vote being
1873, 033 against 1i5. 059 for Douglas, H.
295 for Breckenridge, and 1895 for Bell.
thus giving the first Republican president
