AN UNUSUAL DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY.
The conditions during the campaign have
been regarded as so unusual that almost any
result out Of the ordinary has been looked on
as possible and the struggle has bee" spread
over almost the whole country. With the cleo
ton almost at hand the political prophets have
become more conservative. but they still have
n lingering feeling that something unexpected
VIII happen. and are no. willing to have their
Judgment influenced by past experiences. The
democratic hopes Of success in states hereto
fore republican are based chiefly upon the cleo
tons of go at which they we're victorious in
unexpected quarters.
For use BY way of reference on election
night the following review of Tuesdays cleo
tons is printed, showing the officers to be
chosen 10 the various states the votes at recent
elections and giving explanatory comments
based upon these figures in respect to some of
the states claimed to be doubtful in the evil
dence of these figures.

INDIANA.
In 80 the democrats carried Indiana by ma
jority of Is, $40, but their vote was 27l32 less
than Cleveland got in 49, and the republican
vote fell off 49,059.
The total vote was 59,306 less than in 'sS.
Between the two great parties l6, 1856 votes were
lost to the prohibitionists and popuIists.
The labor candidate for President in 'Ss got
but 1854 votes. In 80 the'popuhst candidate
| for secretary of state got 1854 The pro-
hibitionists in '8S cast 1881 votes and in 80
II, LOG. 1t is fair to assume that most Of these
votes came from the republicans, since the re-
publican falling off was much greater than that
| of the democrats. As heavy a prohibition and
| populist vote on Tuesday would probably make
Indiana safe for Cleveland. The republicans
are hoping that the populist vote will be largely
| confined to the southern part of the state, in
| which case strong showing of the third party
will do most damage to the democrats. In
total vote of 40. Ola the republicans had a plu-
rality Of 1878 in Montana in SO. In go the
democrats carried the state by 283 plurality in
| total vote Of 81 ,090. The democratic vote in
80 was ,949 less than in SS, so that there is
really no significance to the victory.
NEW JERSEY.
The democrats carried New Jersey in 'S8 by
7,149 plurality in a total vote Of 800, 74l In 's9
they elected their governor by a plurality Of
IA, 253 in total vote of 269 090 and in 30 their
plurality for Congress was 1909 in a total vote

vote Of LIS, 97s. In 80 the democratic majority
was increased to ,681 in total vote OF 1876. 29S
Their vote in 80 was 1852 less than that cast for
Cleveland, so that no gain of strength is shown
| by the increased majority.
CALIFORNIA.
In California the republicans increased their
plurality nearly 800 votes in 80. Harrison
had . majority Of 7,0s7 in a total vote Of

Government Ownership.

1t is amusing to see old, gray headed
congressman and senators crying ont
against the government ownership of
railroads. Most of them make the great
expense of buying them plausible ar
gument. Now let's see what those hyp-
ocrites have done. Since lS60-thirty-
two years-the American congress has
appropriated to railroads government
land to the amount of 5000, 000,On
acres Much of this land is valuable
now, and was valuable when given to
the railroads. Put the 5000, 900, 900 acres
at five dollars per acre, and we have the
sum of S15, OO0, 900, 900, which would more
than pay for all the railroads in the
United States, watered stock and all, for
while the actual cost of the roads has
not been above $1,000, 900, 900 or SIS, OOO.-
600, 900 the stock has been watered up
to perhaps $l5,OO0,OO0 900. Now give
the man thunder who says we cannot
buy the roads.-Progressive Farmer.

A Warning.

Don't you believe one word you hear
from the ring element between this and
the end of the campaign, and don't be-
heve anything you read in the ring
newspapers. The opponents Of the
farmers have tried to bulldoze and scare
them, but have failed. They have de-
nounced the farmers as not being Demo-
Gratis, and splitting the Democratic
party, and as vulgar rowdies and igno-
rant people, and this has all failed to
check the grand reform movement.
They have tried big and little caucuses.
with closed doors, and this has all failed.
Now you may look out for the country
to be flooded with all manner of false
hoods and ISLANDERS. The hope Of the
ring is to confuse the farmers and turn
them away from their duty by alarming
and sensational tales of impending
danger and financial ruin, but stand
firm, farmers, and you will win.-A
Farmer in Southern Alliance Farmer.

Frightened in Virginia.

The Democrats are receiving alarming
reports as to the strength Of the third
party movement in the south side, which
includes Halifax, Pittsylvania, Mecklen-
burg, Charlotte, Henry, Patrick, Prince
Edward, Nottoway, Amelia and several
others. Some Of these counties have
been noted in the past for their strong
allegiance to the Democratic party.
