The backing and filling Of the .Cana-

hopes on fusion in Michigan, Wisconsin.
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and the Da-
kotas. Kansas is the only State in
which fusion has materializcd. and the
effect in that State has been to ALLEVIATE
some OF the best Democratic leaders
and organs from the ticket, and drive
back into tho Republican ranks many of
the leading Alliance men. The result
Is thai Kansas is in a most promising
condition for the traditional Republican
majority. Fusion is in itself a confess
sion of weakness and creates AN element
of weakness. Fusion is besides such a
display of departed principle, such a
prostitution of pretended convictions for
Office, and such advertisement of moral
cowardice that the mere propositions
and attempts at fusion in the Northwest
have strengthened the Republican cause
In every Northwestern State. There is
no reason to believe that any of tho
Northwestern States claimed by the
Weaver party will fail of a substantial
Republican plurality.
The States now claimed by the Popu-
lists are, with their electoral votes, as

Congressman Watson claims to be-
able, by dividing the negro vote, to
wrest Georgia from Democracy. In
the Carolinas and Arkansas the situa-
ton is about tho same. The refusal OF
the Democratic Congress to pass the
FREQ coinage bill demanded by tho
South, the complete failure of said Con-
gress to fulfill its tariff and Economy"
pledges, and the reputation OF Demo-
cratic promises to give aid to Alliance
measures, will, probably, cost Dcmoc-
racy in the Southern States thousands
of votes. In addition to this, the adj
vent of the third party will divide the
negro vote, and thus provide for its
being cast, which cannot fail to swell
the Republican returns. In Missouri.
prominent Democratic organs and lead
ers are supporting Warner, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor. But.
after all, although Democracy may suf-
Ter wide gaps in its ranks. the hope is
too good TO be entertained that elcc-
toral votes will be turned from tho
Democratic column in the solid Sonth,
Both the Northwest aud the South Will,
undoubtedly, cast their votes in 1892 ~,
in 1858.
OF the above twcnty-three State,
placed in the Republican column, Demo
cratic queries have been raised eoncern-
ing Massachusetts and Illinois. But
tho action of the late Democratic
Congress upon the Worlds Fair Hill has
stopped all Democratic talk about the
doubtfulness of Illinois, and the free
trade plank in the Democratic platform
settles the case in Massachusetts.
Those two banner Republican States
will not choose 1892 in which 10 secede
from their principles and interests.

The New York World, which has
undertaken to raise money to defray
the expenses of chasing rainbows in
the West, is the same organ that
usually has a good deal to say about
the corrupting influences of money in
elections. Its sprightly contemporary,
the Morning Advertiser, says that
the World has two funds in operation
now-"The Sick Babies Fund" and
"The Sick Cleveland Fund" When
the Republicans remember that the
World volunteered to carry Rhode ISL
and for the Democrats this spring by
exactly the same process, namely, the
liberal distribution of a corrupt fund,
they will view with a great deal OF
complacency its purpose of sweeping
the West into the free trade basket.

The carpenter got s1.50 for his
days work, deducting which from the
bill left him in debt to the merchant
$3.50. This was in good old Demo-
cratic times, under a tariff for rev.
enue only. II the transaction had
taken place on May 8, 1892, under
Republican protection, the carpenter
would have received, instead Of e1.5 {,
80 for his days labor, and his pur-
chases would have cost him S1.52 in
stead of 84.1O. Instead Of coming
out 92.60 In debt he would have had
his goods and 31.4s in cash.
