Republicans certainly have every
reason to feel satisfied with the
political news brought TO Washing
ton from every section, by level
headed men who know whereof
they speak U. S. Treasurer Nebeker,
who knows Indiana politics all
through, returned from a visit to
that State last week, and he says of
the situation: Everything looks
encouraging for Us in Indiana now;
the trouble which existed in the
Fort Wayne district is on the way
to q satisfactory settlement. The
Third Party viii amount to very
little in the State, and can hardly be
con sidercd a. factor IN the result.
1t is true that there is very little
shouting in the campaign out there,
but the little there is, is being done
by Republicans. Indiana is always
a CLOSE state and 1t always requires
hard work to carry il; but it will
certainly 90 Republican this year"
Senator Iiiscock, Of New York,
who was in Washington last week,
was disposed to be jubiiant over
the outlook in that importan, state.
Everything is coming our way,
said he; "there are no weak places
in the Republican line of battle,
and the tariff issue, which the
annual report Of the State Com
missioner Of labor has brought so
prominently forward, will cause
thousands of Democratic working
men to vote for Harrison and Reid.
Yes sir, New York is all right"
Judge Crouuse, the Republican
candidate for governor of Nebraska,
returned to Washington last week
to close up his official duties as
assistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
preparatory to resigning and deyot-
ing all of his time TO the campaign.
He says: "The Nebraska Republi-
cans have entered this fight to win.
Two years ago, owing to two sue
eessiye failures of crops-something
Unprecedented in the State and the
con sequent feeling of discomfort,
Nebraska fell largely into the
All lance movement, one consequence
of which is, that our State, which
has always been so strongly Re
publican, is to-day misrepresented
in Congress. This state of affairs
we propose to change. The Alliance
party is making no gains; on the
contrary many of It's members are
retu rning to the Republican party,
some of them having participated
in the late Republican caucases and
conventions. The conditions have
all changed, Two good crops in
succession have put our people IN
the happy frame Of mind which full
cribs and grainerles usually bring.
More and better campaign work
will be done 10y the Republicans
this year than ever before, and you
may confidently expect Repubh-
can victory, in November, in Neb-
raska.'
Venezuela may feel the heavy
hand of Uncle Sam before long, as
ii is understood that the commander
of the United States gunboat, Con.
cord, which has been ordered to
Ven ezuelan waters, carries instruc-
tons to make a peremtory demand
upon the authorities Of Venezuela
for the return Of the political
refugees who were recently taken
by force from a passenger steamship
flying the American flag, if invcsti-
CATION shall show that the published
account Of chat occurrence was
correct. This administration is as
determined now as it was when Mr..
Blaine stated its position in the
much talked Of Barrundia case 10
