MICHIGAN IS ALL RIGHT.
General Alger talked about the polit-
ical conditions in his state.
my Judgment" said tho general, sis
that the Democrats will carry three or
four Congressional districts. We hope
to hold them to three in the state; but
if We get up good deal OF enthusiasm
and get the campaign early under way,
it will holp US, OF course. In our state
there ia much indignation oyor tho
change in the method OF choosing
electors. 1t is generally denounced US
Democratic sharp practice to snatch
votes, and that feeling will help the Re-
publicans very much"
Az to tho general prospect in the
state. General Alger said: ~ think VIC
will carry the state ticket without
doubt. The Democrats have very
strong candidate in Judge Morse, who
is a onc.armed soldier. When he. was
elected-the year after was elected-he
carried tho state by over $4,000 against
Judge Cooley, who was also strong
man but they got up the corporations
cry against him, charged him with be-
ing the representative Of the corpora.
ton, and thor it was an of year; and
with it MI he was elected. He is
strong man, and there is no use under
rating the strength OF foe.
"The conditions this year are very
much changed. The school question.
which VIC had two years ago, cuts no
figure now; we have nothing but
straight national issues. The reappor-
tIonment has been upset and a new
law has been enacted by the old Demo-
cratic legislature which leaves US. with
good working majority in the legis-
lature. We have the Australian ballot,
and VIC like it very much. Wherever
it has been worked heretofore it has
helped IN honest ballot, and that is all
it does do.
"The congressional ticket in Michi-
gan will run side by side with, tho
national ticket. There are no local
conditions that will effect the latter"
to tho tariff. General Alger said:
''That is the issue with us. They are
going to fight it out on that issue.
Michigan, with her iron, copper, salt
and lumber interests, is interested in
the tariff. They make US tariff state"
SENATOR HlscocK's VIEWS.
Senator Hiscock has been in the west
ern and central parts of the state for
some time. He met great many earn
est Republicans, who are really outside
OF political management In those sec.
tions there is the best of feeling toward
the ticket. He has yet to learn OF the
first Republican who was not going to
support the ticket. The party is in abb
solute unanimity in the parts OF the
state that he visited.
"In my opinion the legal proceedings
which have been instituted in regard to
the state apportionment will be sue
cessEul," said the Senator. "There is
profound conviction throughout the
state that the appointment is q great
wrong to the people in the different
localities, and have no doubt Of re-
buke to the party responsible for 1t at
the coming election.
"In my judgment, the apportionment
of members Of Congress Is an unjusti-
fable gerrymander, and in the interest
Of the Democratic party. 1exPect to
sec this react upon that party. The
common expression you everywhere
hear in those districts that have been
so unjustly gerrymandered, among all
Republicans and great many Demo-
Gratis, is that they will seek to right the
wrong at the polls. think the tariff
is the paramount issue OF the canvass"

"Indiana citizens support tho tariff

the state at present is controlled by q
Democratic government, it is almost
certain that in November it will, upon
the tariff issue alone, show decided
