State Senator j. j. Nj. LaFollette, of Jay
county, is at the Dennison. He says the
Republicans in his county are we'll organ
paign. In speaking of the conditions in the
country he said the Republicans meetings
in the country in his part of the State
were We'll attended, and a greater desire
for real information was manifested than
he had ever known before in a political
campaign. He says it is a mistake to look
upon the farmer as natural advocate of
free silver, but that the farmer is doing
his own thinking, and as usual is general
ly thinking on the right side of the cues
ton. The farmer vote in Jay county he,
says, will show for itself and will show
that the farmers are reading and studv-
ing the money question and will not reach
a decision that will do violence to their
belief in honest dealing.

M'KINLEY's MAJORITY
Governor Stone Analyses the
Apparent Republican
Majority.
st. Louis Republic.

Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. z.
Governor Stone today made
the following statement on the
election Of Mckinley:
Republican papers are
boasiing over McKinley's vic
tory, but they boast with little
reason. These papers take spe.
cial pleasure in parading Nc
Kinley's popular majority.
Basing this majority on their
own estimates, many of which
are certainly exaggerated, they
claim that McKinley's popular
majority is phenomenal. A
brief analysis will show how
little real comfort there is in
this phenomenal majority for
the gold monometaIlists.
"Concede that West Virginia,
Kentucky, Indiana, the two
Dakotas, Oregon, Wyoming
and California have gone for
McKinley-and as to some of
them it is still a matter Of dis
pute, as the difference is so
small that the official count
will be necessary to determine
the result-what them A
change Of $4,000 votes in these
eight States would have given
them TO Bryan and thereby
make bis election certain.
Therefore, in the States upon
which we depended for success
Bryan had a substantial pop
Mar majority. Some of these
States necessary to his election
he lost, but lost by such narrow
margina that a change of 25, 900
votes, which is about one halt
of the vote # an average Con
gressional district, could have
changed the entire result and
made Bryan the President"
