LANES DEFEAT.
Another incident of note was the defeat
of Edward Lane by Mr.. Hadley in the
Eighteenth Congressional district of ILL
nois. Mr.. Lane was silver man, pure and
simple. and his election was advocated by
the two men who less than {. year later were
the chief rivals for the Popocratic nornina-

Illinois. also espouSad &r. Lanes cause

Notwithstanding this, and despite the
fact that the Republican nominee was only

day, Mr.. Lane was defeated in a district
which was usually safely Democratic. As
sistant Secretary Scott Wike. of the Treas
ury. who this year is Eryanite. on Novem-

was that the ma jority for Hadley was not

In Iowa the Republicans also swept the

on the Republican ticket ran much ahead
of him. The General Assembly was over
