The Campaign Closing Quiet and Apathetic

The Campaign Closing Quiet and Apathetic
Except as to Repatriation.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CoLUMBus, OHIO, Nov. 4.-The campaign in
Ohio is closing as it began-quiet and apathetic
except as to registration. The new law re-
quires registration only in the cities Of the
first and second classes, 80 no definite indica-
ton Of the total vote Of the state ut the cleo
ton next week can be given by the registration
reports. The registration in the cities, how
ever, 30 far as 1t goes, bears out the prediction
made In The STAR several weeks ago that the
vote would closely approach 800 900.
Chairman Dick of the republican state COM
mittee, when asked by The STAR for his esti-
mate of the result ill this state, said: "Our poll
OF the state is not yet com pleted and should
not like to give out any statement Of what we
expect until am able to put it in exact figures.
Our poll should have been completed by this
time, but unforeseen delays in the close Of the
work have prevented me from giving to the
press, as had hoped to do ere this, my esti-
mate OF the Ohio vote. In general terms l will
say that the republican presidential electoral
ticket will have in Ohio plurality not less than
that given to Mckinley last fall and will elect
sixteen out of the twenty-o Congressman"
Mckinley's plurality last year was 81 ,5l1. 1t
is difficult to see how Chairman Dicks predic-
ton that the republicans will elect sixteen Con-
gressmen can be fulfilled. The redistricting
plan OF the Dill passed last winter only con-
templated making fifteen republican Congress
men, and the six democratic districts are so
strongly democratic that it is beyond reasona-
BILE hope that the republicans may carry any Of
them.
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
While this is true, there are three and pos
sibly four of the republican districts that may
be lost by them. The pluralities are small, as
has already been shown in The STAR, and GER
tain local facts give the democrats undoubted
advantage. The republicans. for instance, are
by no means sure Of electing 0. j. Hodge in
the twenty first district. His opponent is Con-
gresham Tom L. johnson, popular man and
shrewd politician. 1t is admitted that Con-
gresham NJ. D. Harter has q fighting chance
to be elected In the fourteenth district, though
it has a republican plurality Of about 1850. II
is also possible that Congressman Pearson may
be returned in the new sixteenth district,
though it has been made republican by plu-
rality of 1885, 1t il also claimed that there ID
possibility that Ex-Governor ]. n. Ashley
republican candidate for Congress in the Toledo
district. may be defeated, but this 10 not very
probable. The plurality there is over 1900.
Chairman Dick does not admit that the state
ticket OF his party viii run behind the electoral
ticket. His reports do not show it. II Is gen.
orally believed. however. that 8. d. Taylor,
candidate for secretary Of state, will fall at
least 5000 votes behind the national ticket

DEATH is the reward of treason; judg-
ment is lodged against a man who cannot
pay his debts, w. A. Harris was a traitor;
Geo. 7. Anthony could not pay his debts.
The one was voluntary crime, the other

be prevented by Mr.. Anthony, nor by hun.
dreds Of thousands Of other people in Kan

there is judgment against Mr.. Anthony

sington Mirror.
It certainly is true that he was and
is an embezzler. The judgment stand
ing against him is not for any debt
he contracted and was unable to pay.
If it was no one would mention il
against him. As the Mirror states,
there are thousands of honest men
who are unable to pay their debts
and who are in no way to blame for
it; but Geo. 7. Anthony was a COM
missioner in the state of New York
appointed to loan money belonging
to the United States, and held in
trust by the state of New York for
investment. He was under bond icr
the faithful performance Of his official
duty. Acting in this capacity he re-
Ceived the money of the United States
for investment and appropriated il
to his own use. This is certainly an
odd way to get in debt.

Now deduct from the total value,
as obtained by Mr.. MulVane, the
amount he allows for seed and for
homeuse,snd saying nothing about an
nusl taxes, interest on Indebtedness,
repairs to machinery and implements,
clothing the family, schooling the
children, paying doctor bills and
other incidental expenses, leaving all
of these items entirely out of the cal
culRtion, and Mr.. Mulvane's balance
of $92, 100000 would lack $85, 800
of paying the cost of production.
Such figures are certainly a terrible
"blow to calamity" If Mr.. Mulvsne
thinks we have figured the cost too
high, we would like to have him try
his hand at it, and see how near he
can figure our farming population
out whole at the end of the year; but
he is a man of too much sense to be-
lieve that he can palm off up5n a
Credulous public such a statement as
that rendered by him, as representing
the profit to the agricultural classes
of the state, while entirely ignoring,
in his calculation, the very important
element of cost.
Now, having reviewed Mr.. Mul-
vsne's figures we desire to submit
a few for his consideration. The chief
of the bureau of statistics of the
United States treasury department,
in his report for 1891, on page xii,
gives a table showing the export
price Of agricultural products each
year from 1866 to 1891 inclusive. We
give below that part of the table that
relates to the great staple products
of Kansas:
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

FROM Mr.. Webster, of Palco, Kss,,
we learn that certain politician at
Stockton is consoling his people with
the statement that there has been
great falling off of ADVOCATE readers
in the western part Of the state since
last year. He says he gets his infor-
nation from postmssters One
ould,naturally ask what kind Of in
formation one would expect to get
from a republican postmaster. If
the said politicians friends could see
the ADVOCATE books they would learn
that the paper has nearly 5000 more
subscribers than the sverege of last
year, and that western Kansas fur
nishes its share Of them. If that is
any consolation they are welcome
to it.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

In this issue will be found a criti-
cism upon the recent effort Of Mr.. J..
r. Mulvane, of Topeka, to show by
statistics the unparalleled prosperity
Of the people Of'Kansas. 1t is COM
mended TO the careful consideration
Of republicans who have quoted Mr..
Mulvane's statistics with such mani
fest glee, and Mr.. Mulvaneis espe-
cislly invited to carefully review ii.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

The charge that DR.. Whsrton's
nomination in the Fourth district was
secured by fraud is a reflection on
every delegate to the convention
which nominated him, and should be
resented as such. It is very late
day to make such charges without
showing the proof to back them up.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

WILL take TWO census years for our
comparison, using only official figures
in our calculation.
In 1870 the total wheat crop Of the
United States was 235,S84,7 700 bush
els. The total population of the
United States was 38,55S,371. We
produced, therefore, 81 bushels Of
wheat per head Of our entire pOpula-
tion. There were exported that year
36,584, ,995 bushels, leaving for home
use 199,299,7O5 bushels. This was
"a bushels per head Of our popula-
lstion. The price was $129 per
bushel.
In 1890 the total wheat product Of
the country was 399,662,25O bushels.
Our population was 62,62225O. Thus
we produced 6,5 bushels per head Of
our population, or just A of a bushel
more in 1890 than in 1870. But in
1890 we exported 100, ,209, 1872 bushels,
leaving 299, ,452,S6S bushels for home
consumption. This was AZ bushels
per head, or 1.8 less than in 1870
The price was SO cents per bushel.
Thus, with an increased export de-
msnd and a decrease of 18 bushels
per head left here for home use, the
price was 46 cents less per bushel
than in 1870.
Now take the corn crop. The total
product of 1870 was 1904, ,255,00O
bushels. This was 294 bushels per
head of our population. OF this,
10,673,553 bushels were exported,
leaving 1,O83, ,581, ,447 bushels for home
consumption, or just about 28 bushels
per head. The price was 93 cents
per bushel.
In 1890 the total corn crop was
S9,970OOO bushels. This was a
total of 237 bushels per head, or AZ
bushels less than in 1870. But we
exported in 1890 32O41,529 bushels,
leaving 1,459,928,471 bushels for
home use, or just about % bushels
per head. The price was 46 cents
per bushel. Thus with an increased
export demand, and a decrease of 5
bushels per head Of our entire so, ,622,-
260 people, the price was AS cents per
bushel less than in 1870.
In the face of these facts, will any
one have the audacity to assign over
production as the cause Of this de-
cline3 And if not overproduction,
what is the cause When are
farmers to expect the dawn Of the
better time that was to be ushered in
because of republican success in the
election of 1882 Further; in view
of the fact that all values except that
of money have been constantly de-
clining, what guarantee have repub-
llcsn leaders to offer the people that
a continusece of republican policy
will not result in q continuance Of
this decline7 These are questions
that the people have right to ask,
and to which they have a right to de-
msnd an unequivocal answer.
