Louisiana is the only state in
which the lottery is legalized, but
the gram gam blers are legalized in
every state in the Union. The lot
terry is a means of grace compared
to the grain shark who CANDLES on
the price of the very bread our
wives aud children eat and puts our
daily bread In pawn to squeeze an
added cent out of the palm OF poverty
No one has to buy a lottery ticket,
and it is a man own act if he takes
the chances Of that game. But
bread for bis little ones he has TO
buy, and in doing so is at the mercy
OF the gambler. Why do the pulpits
dam the lottery and keep silent over
the infinitely more heinous crime?-

Governor Boies made vigorous
canvass, sometimes delivering three
speeches in one day. Wheeler, the Re-
publican nominee, is not speaker, but
made personal handshaldng tour
of the state, and had the services of able
stump orators. The Peoples and Prohi-
bition parties have also been actively at
work.
The Democratic victory of two years
ago first astounded and then aroused the
Republicans. They entered this con-
test determined to gain their lost ground
and the Democrats were no less deter
mined to retain their own ascendency.
The result has been campaign Of un-
precedented industry and activity. Iowa
fairly sizzles with excitement. The bat
tie has been fought ON the tariff and
prohibition issues, and the campaign
liar has not been silent.
In 1889 Governor Boies was elected by
plurality of 6, 800. In round number
be received 180, 900 votes. His vote was
Substantially the same as that received
by cleveland in 1888, while the Repub
lican vote was less than that cast for
Harrison. 1t is an interesting question
what is to become of these votes thi.
year. The Republican hope Of success
is based upon the probability of getting
enough Of ths Republicans who staid a
home Ia 1850 to turn the scale in thei
/ favor.
There has been spirited contest fo
control Of the legislature. In the even
of Democratic success the Michigan
scheme Of electing presidential elector
by congressional districts will probabl,

The Prohibition and Peoples parties
also have full tickets in the field. The
Prohibitionists have made vigorous
canvass, with the assistance of Rev.
Sam Small and other outside orators.
This has been essentially a stump
speech campaign. Allen, Lodge, Hoar
Grape and ex-Speaker Reed have held
forth for the Republicans and Russell,
Corcoran and Roger @. Mills have held
aloft the Democratic banner. The acme
of excitement was reached at the Lodge
Russell joint debates, which elevated
the tone of the canvass if they did not
effect the result.
The tariff and silver questions have
been the themes on every platform.

John Seitz, the Peoples candidate for
governor, thinks he is in it, to the ex-
tent of 100000 votes. John exagger-
ates. He may poll $4,000 votes. The
Prohibitionists win poll less. They
cast q, 200 votes last year, but this edu-
cational campaign has alienated good
many voters from the cold water BAN
ner.
Amenities Of the Canvass.
Whatever may be the result at the
polls, this campaign viii go into history
rs the most amicable as well as one of
the most earnest and enthusiastic polit-
ical contests ever known in Ohio. 1t has
been conducted on both sides with de-
cency and free from that indulgence in
personal abuse which has marked so
many previous contests,
Yet there has been no lack of ag-
gressiveness. The campaign has been
fought on national issues almost exclu-
siyely, with the understanding that the
successful candidate would make q
strong bid for the presidential nomina-
tion by his party. Silver and the tariff
haze been the themes discussed on the
stump and in the public press, but state
issues have received some attention dur
ing the last fortnight.
In the past thirty years Ohio has gone
Democratic seven times. The Republi-
cans have not failed to carry the state at
every presidential election during that
period. In 1889 Governor Campbell re-
ceived 10,S72 plurality. Last year the
Republicans carried the state by 10000
when there were 742, 1885 votes polled
1t is believed that SOC, 900 votes will be
cast this year. Political mathemati-
clans of all persuasions extract comfort
from these figures, but this deponent is
not gifted with power to prophesy the
result.
The Australian blanket ballot will be
used for the first time this year and pol
iticians are perplexed in the effort to
estimate its effect on the result.
The Legislative Contest.
One Of the most peculiar phases OF
this campaign was the still hunt for
Senator Sherman's scalp conducted by
Ex-Governor Foraker. For the prize of
a United States senatorship is involved
in this election, and should the Repub-
hcans be victorious very interesting
fight will be inaugurated in the legisla-
ture between Sherman and Foraker
sherman is very strong In the party and
Foraker has large and influential fol-
lowing. As to the relative strength of
the two men little can be known def
nitely until the Legislature is chosen.
Foraker's adherents have been at work
IN every county trying to secure pledges
from candidates for the legislature.
Sher1nan's agents, too, have been work
ing IN the same direction. Party leaders
have made the most strenuous efforts to
keep the senatorial succession In abey-
ance lest 1t might injure the state ticket
or give the Legislature to the Democrats.

ing the balance Of power in the legisla-

The Prohibitionists win not poll many

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1891-11-03

The campaign in this great political
battle ground has been decidedly unique.
Never have greater interests from the
partisan standpoint, been involved;
never has canvass been conducted
with greater earnestness and industry;
never has fight been waged on such
narrow issues.
National issues have been entirely ig-
nored, although everybody understands
that the result of this election may de-
eide the presidential contest next year.
The contest presents every indication
of uncertainty. The reports are so con.
fiicting and the issues and interests 90
diverse that those best informed hesitate
about making an unprejudiced predic-
tion. The Republicans are more ag-
gressive than they have been for years,
and the Democrats are fighting desper-
ately to maintain their ascendancy in
the state. Not since 1879 have the Re-
| publicans elected a governor, and their
victory then was due to a split in the
Democracy. But this year the Repub-
lican leaders appear sanguine of success.
Features Of the Canvass.
1t is long since the Republican party
In this state has presented such united
front. Fassett, Republican candidate
for governor, has more than fulfilled the
Expectations OF his party. He has spoken
in nearly every county in the state and
conducted vigorous canvass in the
metropolitan district, sometimes making
three or four spe eches in one night. He
has had the solid backing of his party,
and Depew and Hiscock have rendered
service on the stump The final exhibi-
zion Of party harmony was made in this
Haity last week, when Warner Miller pre-
fided at big mass meeting. There Is
bome dissatisfaction with Fassett in his
pwn county of Chemung, and lie win
probably lose votes in the city on the
worlds fair issue.

live speeches in the metropolis, and has
Peen assisted on the stump by ex~Presi-
fent Cleveland, Governor Hill, Mayor

In Kansas.

TOPEKA, Nov. 3.--Kansas elects town
and county officers and does not display
much excitement about it, although con-
siderable interest has been developed in
some localities. In the majority of
counties Republican, Democratic and
Alliance tickets are in the field. There
is some fusion between Democrats and
the Alliance, but the Democratic state
committees disclaims all responsibility
for it. There has been no great expend-
iture OF eloquence. Senator PETER and
Congressman Burton indulged in few
joint debates, discussing the Peoples
party platform, without arousing much
interest.
