The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1888-10-25

POLITICAL.
This being the penultimate issue Of
the ADVANCE before the election. we
may as well give our readers brief
view of the political skies through the
telescope of the ADVANCE quill.
AS to the national ticket, as we said
last week, the indications are very ia
vorable for the election Of the Republic
can ticket. Certainly the enthusiasm
and the expressions are greatly in favor
OF the Republicans, and yet We Nust
remember that this was the case four
years ago when the ''silent man of des'
tiny'' was the choice of the voters.
New York is almost as certainly Dem
ocratic as il was four years ago, while
Indiana is still 4 doubtful" State, not
withstanding the ovations to Harrison
and the innumerable meetings.
AS to the State ticket. we cannot see
that the Democratic prospects are as
good as they were two years ago. Ames
took more Republican votes among the
"wide open' classes than Wilson can
hope to get from the So called "res2ect'
able" classes. Besides, Donnelly, the
unquestioned leader of the Farm and
Labor elements, has come out for Ner.
Ram and his influence is great among
his followers.
AS to the county ticket, it is. like the
Pennsylvanian' mind at the battle of
Gettysburg ''all tore up" Party lines
are not maintained. Men are declar-
ing themselves for their personal choice
rather than their party choice.
1t now looks as though, through the
perversity and d. 8 .'eration of Chronic
Sucker Mills; the Independent
candidacy of Mcknight, and the lunacy
Of the Prohibitionists in supporting
North. the Democratic candidate Tor
Auditor would be- elected. AS 1t stands,
the contest now lies between two
Adrian men, both the regular party
nominees.
On sheriff the indications are the
same way. Mr. Peterson, tae Repuhli-
can nominee, is a man with 4 good
war record and abunlantly capable for
the position, while Gilbert Anderson,
the Democratic nominee, has 4 strong
personal hold upon the people, and is
drawing u great many Republican
votes. With his large personal ac-
quaintance, Mr.. Anderson has quite
an advantage, while with the soldier
element and the Republican party ele-
ment, Mr.. Peterson is strong.
In short, the indications are that on
county tickets, it will be a ''divide'' be-
tween the two parties.
