Significance of Mondays EIeetion-The
Campaign of lS92

Significance of Mondays EIeetion--The
Campaign of 1892.
New YORK, April S-Senator James
Mcmillan, of Michigan, was at the Wind
sor hotel Monday. He is on his way to
Europe. where he proposes to remain four
months. Hesaid he was deeply Interested
in the election in his state although q
judge of the supreme court and two re-.
gents of the university are the only Of
f1cers to be chosen, the fight has been
made unusually hot by both parties" the
senator said, "beeause of the Significance
which will attach to the election if the
Republicans win. That result would be
taken to mean that the state was not won
permanently by the Democrats last fall.
A Good Democratic Candidate.
'The Republicans are handicapped
somewhat because the Democratic candi-
date is now on the bench. He has been q
good judge and his record will count
among large class of voters who do not
believe in mingling politics with the
judiciary. The situation is peculiar. A
great deal of interest centers about the
Farmers Alliance vote. That party,
with from $4,000 to $1,000 votes at the
greatest, holds the balance of power. No
bodyKnows with which of the great par
ties it will affiliate in this contest, and on
the determination of this point many
predictions for the state in 1892 will be
based"
Republicans of the State for Algcr.
"Will Michigan send an Alger delega-
tion to the next Republican conventionsn
the senator was asked.
Undoubtedly it WILL" he said. 1.-THE
only possibility that it will not is that
Blaine may be in the fight. There are
some indications that he cannot keep
himself from coming before the conven-
tion. 1 do not believe that he wants to be
a candidate, but if he Is Alger would net
make a fight against him. They are close
friends. L think Harrison will be the
nominee, though with no other candidate
Michigan would send an Alger delega-
tion."
Democrats For Cleveland.
"Whom do the Michigan Democrats
favors"
"If Don NJ. Dickinson can't head the
ticket, Michigan Democrats want Cleye-
land" the senator said. "The state is q
Cleveland state on the Democratic side,
because it is believed that he is an honest
man. If Dickinson is not first on the
ticket-and he is too good a friend of the
ex-president to make any trouble for him
cleveland, with Dickinson second,
would be warmly received. If Mick 1gan
proves to be a doubtful state, a combinas
tion like that might be attempted, with
the idea that it would hold it Democratic.
Other candidates are not heard of among
Michigan Democrats. Hill, as presiden-
tial candidate, amounts to nothing out
there ~
