ELEVENTH. DISTRICT.
1t Is Surely Republican This Time
A Number of Aspirnnts.

TIL Eleventh congressional district offers
an inviting field for Republican conquest.
This district carved out as a Demo-
cratic district, but in spite Of a supposed
safe Democratic margin Mai George w
Steele carried the district three times To
make the district sure the Democrats took

majority, and set il over I'm the Ninth.
Even with this additional handicap Major
Steele took off his coat and carried the
district in 1886. but in 1855 he was defeated
by Augustus y. Martin, who succeeded
himself in 1890 and in 1892 But the Demo-
cratic plurality In the Eleventh district
has been dwlndling during the past few
years. The change has taken place chiefly
in Grant county. Six years ago Grant

city and caused the influx OF large pro-

Democracys destructive tinkertng with the
tariff, now finds itself largely out OF en-
ployment. In 1892 Grant county rolled UP "A
Republican plurality of l,326. Being a man

tariff and pension business will have a
tendency TO make Democrats very scarce
