ELECTION RIOTS ExrrcrKD.
Elections in this state have always been
marked by absence OF hghting, bu, thi. year
will be probably an exception, for with the in
tense feeling now existing 10 hardly seems ros-
sibie TO avoid rows. The state Of feeling be-
tween the democrats and populists Is very
strained. The republicans are. a rule, Keep
ing quiet and are using the populists 20 draw

state ticket may be taken down any day tn favor
OF the populist ticket, and this despite the
chairmans former assertion that his state
ticket would be kept up. Ina prexsous letter

rison and Punches would carry the state, he
today said that Harrison would, but that he

OF certain prominent men suspected Of being

popuilsts as auditors than perhaps any other
democrat The osth-bound alliance men had,
OF course, been pledged 10 hear no speaker
save such as talked their own doctrines A.
soon as the populists made their coalition With
the republicans they ut once begal 20 attend
the speaklngs OF the latter.
All the other parties agree in stating that
they have no idea the prohibitionists viii get

The Hdyseeder, the most rabid Of al the
populist organs. says that the reason Why Harry
Skinner was taken of the party's ticket =
elector-at-large was because he demanded oer-
tain things which the party could not grant
One Of his demands 10 said 70 have been that n
