MOVING RIGHT ALoNa.

signs that III iicatc the future Of our
Democratic MAN Of Destiny. 1t
is customary with politicians 70
shout manfully, and cry aloud,
b,asting often Of success that is
never rea.izc.i, and even in their
eagerness sometimes bLini)y decisy-
ing themselves with regard to the
final result. Being in favorable
position to carefully scan the pohii-
cal horizon and watch the changes
that are taking place from day to
dav and week to week, we propose
to give the situation to our readers
as we sec 1T, without exaggeratlon of
onr side or depreciation of the other.
OF coarse the Democratic wish will
sometimes crowd in to become the
parent of favorable thought, but
we shall most assurably tell what
we learn from time to time as i'm
partially as possible until the final
day arrives.
at present we sincerely believe
that the Democratic column
Is MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
Our reasons for this belief are
plain and pleasant. We find in
New York, the Empire State, with
its SO electoral votes, that the Dem
ocracy are in perfect harmony.
How different from four years ago:
Tammany with its powerful infiu-
ence is earnestly al work to secure
the electionof Cleveland and Steven
son, and Senator Hill has fallen into
line to promote and ensure their
certain success. Every reasonable
indication and fair calculation point
to Democratic success in the grea;
State of New York with pronoun.
ced majority.
The loss of New York is already
virtually conceded by the promi-
nent Republican leaders, while Plat
their big man of that State, has been
in manner placated, they have ut
terly failed to cnthuse him into ae-
ton for campaign purposes.
The Buckeye State has never been
regarded as factor in the Demo-
cratic column especially during q
presidential campaign; ssEphraiin is
given to his ldolsn let him went
but Indiana is another sort OF
stamping ground" The Demo
cracy in the Hoosier State are be-
stirring themselves and are fully alive
to the situation. Adlai Stevenson
has visited mos. Of their prominent
cities and thickly settled counties,
pouring hot shot into the iIl-begoc
ten Republican monster, better
known as the force bill. A decided
change in favor of the Democratic
ticket Is steadily growing in Mr..
Harrison's own State, and this his
friends well know, without the
power to prevent it. SO we can
safely say that il Indiana the Dem
ocraey is moving right along, with
bright and promising prospects for
November.
Our Information from Illinois is
equally encouraging. Hon. Don NJ.
Dickerson has made his headquar-
tiers at Chicago for the campaign in
the West and he has started his
work with such earnest vigor and
superior Intelligence that the fright
ened Republicans have become
demoralized to such an extent as to
lose much ground, while the Dem
ocracy are jnbilant and gaining in
the same ratio; besides, our candi-
date for the Vice Presidency is from
Illinois, a natural State pride swells
the breasts of the members Of the
party there and determins them to
win at any price, come what may.
Yes, there are strong hopes of Hi
nois being in the Democratic col
ulnn, for even in the Sucker State
we are moving right along.
ssPecks' Bad Boy" is a fighting
factor for Democracy westward, and
is hitting Republicanism right from
the shoulder necessarily, doing big
work for the Democratic cause.
The news from Wisconsin, and Michi-
