The state campaign of 1892 has abou

sofa may congratulate itself upon the
most active, aggressive and thorough
campaign in the history of the state,
With the full Democratic strength of
the state represented at the polls there
can be no doubt of the result. A full
complement of Democratic state Officials
will be chosen and the electoral vote oil
the state will be cast for Cleveland and
Stevenson. whose administration will be
fortified with representation of five
and possibly six, Democratic congress
men from Minnesota.
From every part of the state come the
good tidings of Democratic gains, and
in no single section is there the slight
est indication of break in the mag.
nifcent rampant of strength reared by
the party managers and the splendid
ticket. The campaign has been an ag-
gressive one from the beginning. From
the nomination of Nelson, the Re-
publicans began to run and
the Democracy started In pursuit
the run became rout, until
finally the party of rings and combinei
has actually been compelled to apologize
for existing. No such campaign has
been known TO the Democratic party ir
the state, and the united Democracy Il
ready for the victory that awaits Il
Tuesday next, national. state and local.
The following summary of the situa
tion and prediction OF the result werI
last night made by Lewis Baker. chair
man of the Democratic state committeeI
The Democratic fight i'm MinnesOts
has been an aggressive and progressive
one from start TO finish. Our lines have
kept firm at every point, and our friend,
have been hopeful and courageous
The Republicans have been on the de-
fensiye, and have constantly lost ground,
Twice have their forces been thrown
into panic by the tactics OF the Dem
ocracy. We have captured thousands
of the enemy, and these recruits ara
now fighting yaliantly in our ranks.
With these desertions directly from
the Republican ranks to the Democracy
and our accessons from the Alliance
vote of two years ago. 1t is plain that
the aggregate Democratic vote will be
increased in much greater ratio than
either the Republican of Peoples party
vote. In fact, 1t is exceedingly doubt
full whether the vote of either of these
latter parties will be materially in
creased.
| estimate that there will be cast
about 29). 900 votes in the state. OF this
number the Democrats will poll some
thing over 10000, which was about the
vote cast for Hon. f. Nj. Wilson for
governor four years ago. DOnnelly will
receive 10000, which is about 1000 more
than were cast for Owen two years ago;
7,O0O will be polled for Dean, the Pro-
hibitlonist, and it is liberal to the Re-
pubIicans to gllow Nelson from 10000 Il
1900 more votes than were cast for
Merriam at the last election, which was
$1,000.
After watchful observation of the
trend of affairs during every day of thC
campaign, and from careful analysis
of the most trustworthy reports received
from every county OF the state, my con
clusions are that
The outcome next Tuesday will bt
the certain election of four anti-Harri-
son electorsS

senate;
The certain election of four, and pos
sibly five, of the seven members of con
gress;
The certain election of three Judge,
of the supreme court. which will give
us a majority of that bench.
This much is assured by a practical
unity of the DE emocratic and POpulisi
forces thus far.
In addition, | am strongly Of the opin-
ion that the five straight Cleveland
electors will have a plurality in the
state of from ), 900 to 1900 votes, aud
that Lawler and the state ticket will be
found to have rece eiyed about the same
vote.
