good which was in light supply. We give the
following as ruling prices, the market closing
strong: Prime, 1900 to l,60O ns, 81 2O@S4 40;

The supply of hogs on Monday was about
equal to the demand, and while prime light
grades sold readily at former prices, medium
and heavy were slow sale. Tuesday the receipts
were light but composed of grassers and stub
lers, which were hard to sell at l5(D20 per cent
less than cornfed. To-day the receipts are

The oil market was active and dull yesterday

VOTE NEARLY IN.

All hut -Four Indiana Counties Heard
From Indicate Plurality Of Over Seven
Thousand.
ISpIASAPoLIs, Ind. Nov. 12.-Returns
from eighty-eight out of ninety-two
counties received TO date have not ma
terially changed tho estimate of the
democratic plurality in Indiana hereto
fore given. Based upon the vote of lsss.
the democrats in the oighty-eight coun-
ties have made gains of ll.4S7 votes
The republicans have gained /, $50 votes
This leaves the net democratic gain in
the eighty-eight counties 0,OT1 over the
vote OF iSSS In that year the repub-
icans carried the state by plurality OF
a.34S The net democratic gain in this
election is therefore sufficient 70 wipe
out tho plurality OF four years ago and
give democratic plurality OF ,7s3
This computation does not include re
turns from tho four counties Of Marion,
Warren, Fountain and Crawford These
estimates on the four lacking counties
arc believed 20 be substantially correct:
Marion, 1000 democratic; Crawford, 200
democratic; Warron. SEQ republican,
and Fountain. 70 republican. Tne demo-
cratic preponderance in these four coun-
ties is go. This gives total democrat
ic plurality in Indiana of s,04s. 1t is
not believed the official count will vary
much from these figures.

HARRISoN's DEFEAT.
The President Did Not Favor High
Tariff Policy.

Tariff Policy.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-President
Harrison, discussing the defeat of the
republicans, says: 'It was due mainly
to the position of the party on the tariff
question. The republicans had forced
this issue to an extreme, which evident
ly did not meet with the approval of the
people.
There was a strong belief that the
Force bill issue kept the solid south
within tho old lines, but it did more
than that, for it brought to the support
of the democratic ticket many votes in
the north"
What he wanted them to do, the
president said, and what he endeavored
to impress upon them, was the absolute
necessity of keeping the republican
states in line and carrying New York.
He had realized for some time past
that the drift of public sentiment was
against him and his party, and it was
this that led him TO force this advice
upon the party leaders Tho disregard
of this advice had much to do with the
result of last Tuesday. The president
realized, before any of the election re
turns came in Tuesday, that he was
defeated man.
THE verdict last Tuesday, the presi-
dent says could be construed in but
one way. 1t meant a condemnation of
the extreme high tariff policy of the
republicans The inevitable result. if
the party was to hope for renewal of
power, was modification of its posi-
tion. but not denunciation altogether
of the protective tariff policy, which
has been the keynote of every repub-
lican campaign for many years past"

She VIII Not be a Speedy Vessel. But
Very strong.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-The expert
engineers of the bureau of steam en-
gineering have just completed the re-
vised specifications for the engines and
boilers of the sea-going Battleship No.
1. which will be the largest vessel in
the United States navy. Notwithstand-
ing the great size of the vessel-she

be particularly speedy craft as vessels
are now rated in these days of naval
progress But that is because she is to
be heavily armored; not protected like
the New York, in certain vital parts,
but covered with heavy Hnrveyized
steel plates capable of resisting the
nrmor-pierciug projectiles of great guns.
The great weight of this armor has
Obliged the naval architects to reduce
the weight allowance of the engines and
boilers, and that meant q reduction
in speed, particularly rs liberal al
lowance had TO be made for tho
coal supply of the ocean going Inan-of-
war. So the new vessel viii have en-
gines of II, 600 horse power, which, run
ming at 1laH revolutions per minute,
will give her speed of sixteen knots
per hour. They will be triple eKpan-
sion engines, which means that the
steam will be used three times in as
many different cylinders before being
condensed. Three double ended main
and two single ended auxiliary steel
boilers will supply the steam at
lG0 pounds pressure to drive these en-
gines and to make n sufficient draught
the two smolxestaclls will be made 100
feet in height. These tall stacks are
not acceptable to lovers of beauty in
marine designs but they are very
economical and enable the engineers to
get along in ordinary cruising without
the annoying forced draught" which
makes so much trouble. The details of
the complicated machinery are so many

CHICAGO. Nov. 1a-The Chicago Sim

resolutions;
Whereas The national democratic
platform denounces protection as n
fraud and q robbery and declares it to
be unconstitutional, and with these
declarations submitted the matter to
the people; therefore.
Resolved, That the tidal wave which
swept the country last Tuesday was n
righteous condemnation of protection
Resolved, That we denouncc Us false

and inimical to its continued success
every utterance on the part of its nc
credited leaders which tends to justify
perpetuation of any vestige of the pro-

Resolved. Labor has demanded JUS

they should ask it by its right name,

and not strive to turn the national gov
ernment into gigantic pauper institu-
