ARKANSAS ALBRIGHT.


The State of Arkansas held her state
election on Monday, and the returns are
exceedingly gratifying to the Democrats.
Not only did she elect her whole Demo
cratic state ticket from the governor
down, but by largely Increased majority.
The returns indicate that Arkansas has
gone Democratic by e5, 900 and upwards.
In 1892 when nearly everything went
Democratic, Arkansas could only muster
about 40, 900 majority for the party Of
Jefferson and jackson, but now she in
creases that majority by over $4,000.
This IL sure indication that the silver
sentiment is still growing In the West,
and that che South and West will stand
by the party Of free coinage.
In every state west Of the Alleghenies,
where the question has been discussed, a
majorits of the people are for free coinage.
The elections held this year corroborate
this fact. oregon voted in June, and
although she has been relied upon as a
safe Republican state, her two congress
men were only elected by beggarly plurali-
ties. At that time the Democrats had
not nominated their national ticket and
had not adopted the free coinage policy,
but with the lines tightly drawn between
a gold standard and bimetallism, Oregon
is pretty sure to be rescued from her Re-
publican moorings. Alabama followed
in August with an Increased majority over
the combined vote of the Republicans and
Populists. Vermont followed and gave
--s-s-sas
an increased Republican majority, but
nothing else could be expected there, for
the Democrats made no effort and Hanna
wasted good deal of time, energy and
money to increase the Republican vote.
Now comes Arkansas with an increased
sa1Arr
Democratic majority, and the Democrats
',-..s1SsA
can feel we'll satisfied for the moral effect
NA@essna
1t will have on free coinage in every
western state.
