"The condition of the public
mind in Illinois," said Pres ident
Tracy, "was clearly indie ated by
the spring elections. In every city
in tia state where party lines
were drawn the Republicans were
victorious except in four cities.
Three of these were carried by in
dependent tickets, and one by
Democrats. In Springfield, my
home, which has been strongly
Democratic city for years, we
elected the entire Republican
ticket, save one man. In 1892 the
county ticket went Democratic
by 1000 majority. The election
this year for supervisors showed
Republican majority of ], 300.
"In Sangamon county, Lincoln's
publican members of the Legisla-
ture, Cullom and Milton Hay, were
elected, in Lincoln's time, to one
Democrat. Never since that have
the Republicans been able to elect
more than one Republican in that
district. This year we expect to
elect two of the three. In the state
election Illinois will 60 Republican
by $4,000. Local elections indicate
that Cook county and Chicago will
give Republican plurality this
fall"
IOWA ALL RIGHT.
"Iowa is in first-class shape this |
year." said Mr.. Pray, executive
committeeman from that state.
"The clean sweep of last year has
made it sure thing for this year.
OF all the congressman to be |
elected there will be a fight only in
the Second district, that of Repre-
sentative Hayes. He has Away
had a large majority there, but
there are many enthusiastic fell
lows in the Republican party who |
hope to beat him. This is helped |
on by the fact that Mr.. Hayes will |
meet with some opposition in his
own party.
"Our people are more interested
now in national matters than in |
State issues, which for time |
downed the party in Iowa. We
have got over all our trouble. The
State ticket to be elected this year
consists of the secretary, auditor,
treasurer, two judges of the Su-
preme Court, railroad commits
siOner, an attorney general, etc.,
and it will receive the largest Re-
publican majority in many years"
"RhOde Island spoke for herself |
not long ago, when she elected 1O3 |
Republicans out of los members of |
the Legislature" said Mr.. Henry |
f. Tiepke, president of the Repub-
lican League of that diminutive |
Commonwealth. at was the first |
election under the amended con-
stitution, which requires only a |
plurality to elect instead of ma
jority. Both parties favored it,"
NEW YORK MEANS AUSINEss.
GA political revolution is in pro-
gress in New York." said Judge |
Blanchard, who represents the |
league of the Empire State. at be-
gan nearly year ago, and was
caused in the first place by the |
Democrats stealing the State Sen
ate. The public conscience was
aroused and at the election last |
fall very many Democrats broke
away from the party lines and |
supported the Republican candi-
dates. This was especially notice
able in the defeat for judge
of the Court of Appeals of
Judge Maynard who had commit
ted the theft. Many of the people
who had voted with the Demo-
cratic party on national issues had
become dissatisfied with industrial
and financial conditions. These
were largely the wage-earners. At
the special election last June in
the Fourteenth Congressional dis
trict, which was Democratic by s.
600 or 5000 majority, Republi-
can was elected by about 100 votes.
The recent enrolment in New
York city, under the plan adopted
by the Republican county commit
tee, has awakened great interest.
"The Republican party in New
York city has been born again, and
was never in better fighting condi-
ton than at present. All over the
state, the party is alert and ready
for action. The factional contest
