They forgot that Senator Palmer, Governor
Boies, ex- Governor Gray and Ex-Governor
Campbell did the same thing years ago, and
the party went right along coming victories
Just as if nothing had happened
The Republicans are making one of the
most vigorous campaigns in the West, and
especially in Illinois this year that they have
ever made 1t is not because they are at all
apprehensive, but because they want to put
an everlasting quietus on the boastful Dem
ocratic demsgogues. Speakers of National
importance are continually on the stump,
and other party workers are on the ground
all the time In Illinois the fight is ON the
tariir and money questions f. X. Shoe
maker OF New Jersey, one of the gre test
tarif orators of the country, has been max
ing peech after speech throughout the state
and thousands upon thousands have turned
out to hear him. In Chicago at one meeting
alone ten thousa d persons were in the audi
ence that listened to him.
In Wisconsin the fight is mainly on the
money question, and business men who OK
perienced the disasters Of wildcat money
are telling the people what viii result if the
government takes The tax off of state banks
In Michigan and Iowa and the Dakotas it is
the tariff and so on throughout the West.
Reports Of Republican prospects are moth
ing but encouraging. Col Robert G. Inger-
soil was in Chicago this week, and no one
will deny chat he is shrewd and observing
politician. In an interview he expressed the
greatest confidence that Harrison will win.
''He has made an excellent President and his
record is uuassaiIable7 is the way the great
agnostc puts it. Besides" he adds "the
country believes in the Republican princi-
pies more than in the men themselves. We
believe that Americans should buy all their
articles in America and from Americans as
far as it is possible"
Colonel Ingersoll has just returned from a
visit to New York, where he looked over the
political situation When asked what he
thought of it, he replied that affairs there
are very much mixed, and he drew hu-
morous word-picture Of the New York Times
and the New York Post riding in the same
cage with the Tammany tiger, each afraid
the tiger would eat him up.
United States Senator Hiscock, of New
York, was in Chicago this week and he
brought the local Republicans good cheer
from his state. eve are not making noisy
campaign with brass bands and fire works"
he said, but our campaign is none the less
effective" He expresses a belief that New
York is sure to go Republican this fall He
also had a talk with prominent western Re-
publicans as to the situation in the West, and
what he heard was reassuring.
National committeeman w. J. Campbell, of
Illinois, has also lust returned from New
York, where he was in conference with the
leaders. II is not generally known that Mr.
Campbell is at the head of a sort Of sub
headquarters in Chicago, and he is watching
the West with great care. He is confdentof
success.
W. W. Tracy, President of the Illinois
State League of Republican clubs, is another
prominent politician who has been reviewing
the situation in the empire state, and to hear
him talk one would think that the battle is
already won. He predicts great results from
the clubs throughout the country, and their
strength as shown at the recent meeting in
Buffalo shows what they are capable OF
doing.
