Chairman YOung's Estimate of Nc
Kinley's Plurality i'm Marion County.

Chairman Young, of the Marion county
Republican committee, was asked last
night for a statement of what he thought
the vote in this county would be. He said
1--WE will elect the entire county ticket
including six members of the Legislature
and three Senator'S and Representative TO
Congress. This means that the plurality
i'm this county Will ca Use the election OF the
joint Senator and Representative and the
congressman The plurality for the Nc
Kinney electors viii not be less than $500
and for the county ticket not less than 5000.
THE organization in this county was
never in better sli pc than 1t has been this
year. The campaign began early and the
committee was actively at work before IL il

the matter of the selection OF election Off

ed a lot of election officers that seemed
more intelligent or willing and anxious To
krcw the law ami their full duty. Most of
them were already pretty thoroughly in
formed, and their questions showed that
they had given the matter great deal of
study.
This has truly been q campaign of edu-
cation. There never has been campaign
in which SO much literature has been sent
out by the committees. or in which there
was such eager demand for ii. Every
body seemed anxious to learn. At the be-
ginning CT the campaign there was a large
number of voters of both parties who were

when he returned to the saloon. as the po-
lice suppose, TO get some of his property
before making an effort TO get out OF the
city. He claims. however. that he had
rot left the vicinity of the saloon from the
time OF the shooting TO the time of his ar

the police searched for him.

police in their investigation Saturday night
He is the porter for W. A. Stout, owner of
the saloon. In the rear of the building, in

Stout, and in one end of this room is John

Lessons OF the Election.

1t seems strange that any one should
have had any doubt of the result. Two
years ago the verdict was pronounced
upon the only subject which could be
passed on.and that was the competency
of the Democratic party, as constituted
in 1894. to govern this country. If the
verdict was then overwhelming, how
could it fail to perch on the same stan
dard after Chicago and its deplorable
convention? 1t is true that the great
ness of the disaster, if it should happen
was SO apparent that we We're all
anxious. Nevertheless. the good sense
of the American people has been
usually so sure that not even the mis-
take of 1892 ought to have induced us
to doubt. Yet that very doubt pre-
vented any relaxation, and so caused
or increased the favorable result.
There has been one striking feature
of the campaign. and that has been the
attitude of the business men, They
have been united without much regard
to previous political opinions, and have
been the most earnest workers, and
really the primary cause of the victory
They could see more clearly than the

ing disaster. Only once before within

Look at the result of the election in
another light. The total wealth of the

Of free silver is needed.
1t is ridiculous to talk free silver in
the face of such popular disapproval
and the leaders now attempting to
continue the fight are either dema-
gocues or inexcusable ignoramuses.
Millions of Democrats supported the
silver policy last Tuesday because it
was party issue, and in view of the
recent election experience they will
carefully provide against its readop-
ton by their next national convention.

progressive sections of the South, and
