msjority Of these 5000 votes is regarded as
the determining question Of the campaign,
for it far oversliadows the Prohibition inde-

which some importance has been attached.
The politicians here in Indiana refer to these
yonng men as the Logan voters because it
was the Illinois Statesman who long ago fig
ured out that the Sons of Union soldiers who
would become voters about.this time would
give the Republican parry a new lease OF
life. According to the statistics that have
been gathered, his prophetic views were about

was known beyond a doubt that fully 5000
Of the Young men are Republicans. In some
counties, particularly in the northern and
central parts of the State. ninety per cent. OF
the first voters are Republicans. There are
over 300 clubs composed Of them exclusively
in the State. If there should he gains fran

The beliefthat Connecticut viii reverse
the plurality which she gave for Cieve-
land in 1854 is strengthened by tie re-
suit of the town elections Which were
held in that state recently. Il appears
that the Republicans have not only not
lost their hold in the towns which they
had held, but that they have made gains
and that the general drift Of the elections
were in their favor. Indeed, there has
not been an election OF any Kind held
