1t appears from these figures that
more than half of the Populist vote Of
1894 either stayed at home or else was
absorbed by the Democrats, and even
then the plurality of the latter was
1850 less than it was two years ago,
and that was a year of sweeping Re-
publican success.
So far as these figures mean anything
they convey the same lesson as the
Vermont and Maine elections did. The
Democrats are staying at home and the
Republicans are coming out and voting.

Illinois Leaves Morton for the New
Jersey Man
St Louis, June 1S.-The fight between
Morton and Hobart which at midnight
was claimed by both sides began again
this morning. The Miller men who had
claimed last night that the entire In
diana delegation was with them against
Morton, were a trif1e discouraged to
find there might be a. division. The
Miller element was working strenuous
ly for Hobart and urging Mckinley
adherentS to come to the front for HO-
bart expecting in this way to central
ize the vote ana beat the Morton men
on the first ballot
The Illinois delegation was much
sought after. The Morton men claimed
80 of these As votes. The meeting be-
gan at 10 o'clock at which the Hobart
people We're to present their claims.
The Evans people were not backward
and put forth the claim that their can
dtdate should receive more cOnSldera-
ton than Hobart because he was bet
ter known to the people. They claim
ed increasing strength and We're also
working upon the Indiana men and the
Ohio delegation for assistance.
The Platt men had Missionaries for
Morton in every headquarters and at
10 o'clock still asserted they had over
400 votes for Morton with which they
would hold the first ballot and then
strength for the final poll. The Miller
men laughed at the claim.
