The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-10-17

Wyoming and Utah. and perhaps Califor-
MIA, are expected 10 send democratic con-
greSsmen and Senator's while Idaho also
- regarded as being very much OF pos
sibiiity on account Of the past eXtrava-
gance Of the republican government and
the need Of great many reforms. In the
northwest the republicans hardy know
what 10 expect. Minnesota Is showing re-
markable signs Of a disposition 20 teach
the party a lesson that they will not for
get in a long time. Knute Nelson, the
nominee for reelection to be governor,
which would mean his election for SEN
ator. has managed 20 have the Swedes
turn against him on account or the ap-
parentiy we.i-founded charges that he IS
too much mixed up with the railroads.
Wisconsin also gives signs OF repeating the
maJorlties il has given for the democrats
in late years, and the democratic machine
feels elated in consequence.
Chairman TaubenecS of the populists be-
lieves that his party wiz have the balance
Of power and in support Of his statement
makes the remarkable calculation that IN
many Of the western states the two great
parties are the republican and populLst
and the democratic party has assumed the
title role Of the third party farce-comedy
He even thinks that Texas is likely to
desert the democrats and go over bodily
to his short-horn alliance.
The distribution OF the campaign litera-
ture for this campaign Will soon be at
an end. The republican committee has cut
its force down so that there is only few
left to fill immediate orders and get out
any new canards the managers may choose
to circulate before election day. The an
n0unCement is made that about four mil
lion pieces OF different natures have been
mailed since thu campaign opened. The
democratic committee announces that the
demand has been so great on them that
they have sent out already about six mil
lion pieces and the orders are still coming
in for a great deal more. A large force
IS still at work and all orders are being
filed az promptly as possible. The signs
are that there is a great democratic aWak-
ening all over the country, and the COM
mittee is taking the fullest advantage Of
it,
Under these circumstances the repub-
hcans are attempting again TO work their
pension Toorbacks for al they are worth.
They have started the canard that the Of
fee is holding back until after election be-
fore it viii reject any applicants, but Com
missioner Lochren denies that the pension
bureau is in politics and offers to ai.ow
the inspection of the records of the de-
partment 10 prove the truth Of his state
ment. Every effort IS still being made TO
give every gallant defender Of the coun-
Try his due: but there is to be no tolera-
ton now Of the undeserving any more than
there has been since the new rule was
established IN the office
Many Indiana oficeholders VIII return
for the campaign and election day. Sew
eral Of the orators who have been trans
planted in Washington VIII go back TO
their old stamping grounds for a few
weeks and vii. make speeches. They have
received no intimation of the rumored
order of President Cleveland that the Of
ficeholders shall not engage I'm politics.
They recognize that it is the presidents
attention 10 allow no neglect of duty for
speechmaking, but none Of the well-in-
formed believe for a moment that the
chief executive VIII interfere any further.
