Thus, at the latest presidential cleo
ton. although the republicans won the
electoral vote, their long sustained ma
jority was changed to a minority of g..
500.
In 1890 economic questions, well I'M
derstood, were dominant for the first
time in 80 years, and the state went
democratic for the first time in that
period.
1t is significant, too that the demo-
cratic plurslities in that year were the
heaviest where the economic question
was most directly and exclusively in
volved. The democrats won one major
ity and a plurality of four in the lower
house of the legislature. They carried
the state ticket by 9.S4S. and on the to-
tai congressional vote-which turned ex-
clusively upon tariff reform-they had a
plurality of 30 s21. and elected IA out Of
20 congressman.
These are facts of history. They indi-
cate clearly that Illinois this year is a
hopefully debateable state. They point

testing it with sll possible determination
and persistence.
The issue of 1892 is the issue of 1890.
1t is better Understood now than it was
then. The cam paign of education has
gone on steadily. The convictions
which made Illinois democratic two
years ago have been broadened and
strengthened. An intelligent people
have thought and observed. Their most
vital interests are concerned in success
One Illinois democrat is senator Of the
United States. another is the party's can
didate for vice president.
The "a electoral votes of Illinois
should be fought for and won.
The next president must be demo-
crat.

The situation in Illinois .

Illinois. says the New York World,
was q democratic state from the time of
its admission to the union in 1918 until
1860.
Even in the .'land- slide" of 1910 it re-
NAMED true. William Henry Harrison
carried the country by popular majority
of 139. $50 and the electoral college by to
ia. But Illinois gave her electoral vote
Van Buren, by popular majority OF
1890.
1t was not till 1860. when the ferment
of civil war was beginning and Abra-
ham Lincoln was the republican candi-
date, that the state turned against the
democracy.
1t became republican upon the slav-
cry question and for 80 years remained
republican upon issues that play no
part in present olitics except as trs-
ditional prejudices of overwhelming
force.
In 1864 Illinois gave Lincoln a maj or
ity of 3O.675. In 1868 Gen. Grant
swelled this to 51,160. In 1872. the
year of the Greeley fiasco, the state gave
it's heaviest republican maj orlty OF &c.
SS4.
Since that time the republicans have
carried the state in presidential years IS
