spouse to request BY the Associated
Press to-day for an expression Of his
views regarding the result Of yester-
days election ex.President Harrison

For thirty years party expediency has
been substituted by the leaders for
party principles, and expediency had

a debauched currency and in an
other socialism that was near to
anarchy were given q bed. Property,
especially mills aud factories. was in
yerted and assaulted in one section and
In another trusts were secretly coddled.
The old Democratic doctrine that IA.
yored the leyying OF customs duties to
the limit OF an adequate revenue was
abandoned. A deficiency to be made
good by bond issues or by internal
taxes was preferred to the incidental
protection that adequate customs duties
would give. The silver question was
dealt with 10 the most vacillating and
irresponsible manner.
"Mr. Cleveland described the situa-
ton perfectly when he said In his letter
to Mr.. Wilson: They (the Democracy
are downcast under the assertion that
their party fails in ability to manage
the government
"a vast majority Of our people believe
in protective tariG-never so many
and never so strongly as now. They
differ as to rates aud schedules, but not
as to the principle. They believe in re-
ciprocity as the first method of getting
foreign markets. They believe in q
progressive and American foreign
policy. The workingmen voted their
prejudices in 1892; this year they voted
their patriotism aud their love OF home.
"The enormous falling of in the Dem

phatic in it's meaning than the major

ance so much needed that there is an

IN INDIANA.

Tho Republicans Make the Most Sweep.
ing Victory in the states History.
IxpIAxAPoLIs, ISn.. Nov. THE par.
tial returns from Indiana indicate that
the state Is Republican by, At least, 6o,'
900. The Republican state committee
says 1t will not be surprised II the
plurality reache. 10000. Its tho most
sweeping victory ever won by any
political party in Indiana. The first re-
turns received last night bowed strong
Republican gains. They came from the
labor centres and the Democrats at
headquarters expressed the hope that
the tide would turn when the country re-
turns began coming in. Late last night
returns began to arrive from all parts OF
the state and from everywhere came the
story Of Republican gains.
The returns thus far received show
an average Republican gain Of about
forty votes 70 the precinct. It Is doubt
ful, however, whether this ratio will
hold up to the end, for it is expected
that It will DO cut down by the returns
from the agricultural districts. but II 1t
should be cut to twenty to the precinct
the Republican majority will be over
$4,000. Returns from the congressional
districts have been slow In coming in,
but the scattering figures received. con-
sidered In connection with the great
Republican gains in every part Of the
state, indicate that the Republicans
have elected eleven and possibly all
thirteen members Of Congress. The
Democrats still have hopes that S. NJ.

APPRAISALS

After quoting the law and giving a detailed
statement of some witnesses the committee
hnds that the work of estimating and an
praising of state timber has been done in a
manner which Is practically Of no yalue
H-.iIllates we're signed il blank and filled
out later in the office of the state auditor
Appraisers were sent out who never exam
ined the sections of land which they were to
estimate. The committee state that half has
never been told and there are grave doubts
as to whether 1t ever will be- so monstrous
is the inquity Of the whole matter,
The estimates were fraudulent. and vet
all the pieces of land were sold the same
fall when the worthless estimates were en-
tered. In addition the committee finds that
Sinclair was engaged privately by Clark, that
TIE latter did not even put in the amounts
reported to him by Sinclair but much small
er. and that the whole matter in relation to
these fraudulent estimates was a deep laid
scheme to defraud the state. which in real
ity was defrauded out of large sum of
money. The guilty parties should be punish
ed. and the committee believes that the incom
ing legislature would be derelct in its du
ties if it fails to provide for continuation IF
the investigation. The committee concludes
by saying that it finds Clark's testimony nm
satisfactory and vascillatng and thai tha
ways OF Clark. as far as they relate to esti
mates ana appraisals, are such as to merit
tne unqualihed condemnation of the commit
tee. ~ e

TWO VARYING OPINIONS ON THE
CURRENCY BILL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-"I be-
lieve that the Carlisle currency bill will be
passed by the house, said Chairman
Springer of the house committee on bank
ing and currency. Gas yet no canvass has
ment among members I feel that most of
the objections heretofore urged have been
overcome by the substitute introduced last
night. 1t is probable however, that there
will be party opposition from the Repub-
lican side, notwithstanding the changes we
have made, as the minority are not likely
to support any measure unless state banks
are entirely eliminated, and even then it
is doubtful whether they would support
any bill origina ting with the Democrats
But with the harmonizing of feeling on
the Democratic side, 1 think we will have
a safe majority for the bill. The measure
in its present form commands the support
Of all who are desirous of securing a
sound currency, with the single exception
perhaps, of the radical silver element
which has no faith in any kind of currency
issuing from banks, and will accept nothing
but government issues of fiat money. But
1 do not regard this element as sufficiently
strong to threaten the success of the bill
in view of the strong sentiment toward
getting together on the best possible bill
fof currency REVISION anu SOUND money.
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, said: Il will
urge the substitute IIhave already pre-
sented, Notwithstanding changes made
in the original Carlisle BILL These changes
are evidently designed to overcome objec-
tions, but they do1 not overcome the one
vital objection to putting the currency is
sues of the country in the hands of the
national banks NO change short of elm
mating national banks of issue will make
the bill approach an acceptable FORM I
ann not prepared to say that my substitute
for issues of coin and coin notes directly.
Will prevail in the house, but it will GER
tanly be urged with visor after the holt
days, and have nu doubt of it's command
ing very substantial support In my
Judgment it is not going to pass in the
house of represen tives!"

At Christmas time there is always ces-

Men who spend long hours with the pick

drink of lemonade. Lemonade is scarcer

wants at least one dance with each of them.
Violetta has thrown about her, in Spanish
fashion, a lace shawl which fasdnates
every miner from Mr.. Jarvis down to Eph-

CHAPTER VII.-STATE AUDITORS
OFFICE,

To the State Auditor-the land commission
sr, as he is called-says the committee we
should look for the protection CT the states
interests for an honest administration of
the laws ana proper appreciation of the
great responsibilities placed upon him. 1t is
here more than in any other department,
that we should have the right to expect that
condition of affairs that marks the faithful
intelligent servant. the honest man.
On the contrary, we are compelled to say
that it is here find the most palpable neg
lect Of duty; the least regard for the vel
fare of the states interests the most care
less ard unsystematic conduct of the busi-
Of either objectionable ignorance of the du-
ties of the Office under the law or down
right official dishonesty.
1t is in justice to all concerned that the
committee says that this state OF affairs is
confined to no particular period in the his
tory OF the state auditors office but so far
as the committee have been able to determine
has been uniform and uninterrupted for many
years.
Mathew Clarks relations to the auditors
ONCE, we believe, shows a condition of af-
fairs to which your particular attention
should be called, and which if not punish
able by law at the present time should be
taken up by you in your message to the leg
islature and the passage of lay recommend
ed to punish the commission of such ofenses
in the future. We believe, through the failure
Of Mr.. Bermann to comprehend the situation
clark has been allowed to retain his situation
in the auditors Office as a vantage point to
the furtherance of his own real estate bust
ness. Mr.. Bermann continued him in office
for four years. knowing all the time that he
was there for the purpose Of gaining in
formation to enable him to make money.
The committee have seen no indication. how
ever slight and do not believe that Mr. Bier
mann was directly or indirectly Interested in
Clarks speculatlons or that he received any
pecuniary benefits therefrom. The committee
believes that Biermann has been imposed
upon. and. as proof. cite the appointment
Of one Westby as a state appraiser. who was
totally unfit for the position and even so
after serving four years.
The committee further declares that the an
pointment OF stumpage clerk is neither
necessary nor authorized by law and should
be discontinued at once.
