Mr.. HOLMAN'S SUCCESSOR
A REPUBLICAN MAY WIN IN THE
FOURTH DISTRICT TOMORROW.
Desperate Efforts of the Democrats to
Carry "a District Normally Demo-
cratic by an Enormous Vote.

With the close of the campaign in the
Fourth district the Republican prospects
Of success tomorrow look brighter than
they have at any time since the special
election was called. 1t was feared then that
because the election would come so soon
after the passage of the tariff bill the
party would suffer from a misunderstand-
ing of the measure as it did from the Nc
Knley bill in 1890. But the bill has not
been misunderstood. The signs of return
ing prosperity and of renewed business ac-
tivity have been too plain to admit of the
people being fooled by peddlers carrying
about tinware and asking two prices for it,
or by any crazy chatter about the prices
of wheat and silver falling together. Gov
ernor Matthews and all the Democratic
heavy weights of the State have been in
the district talking about 1.-THE crime of
1872 and telling weird tales about horrible
things that may be expected under Repub-
lican rule, but the Republicans have been
making no speeches. The commercial re-
ports of reviying business and the daily
climbing of the prices Of wheat
and corn have been more eloquent to the
farmers of the district than any political
speeches could possibly be.
Young Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, who has
blOSSOmed out TO be the Democrats leader
of the House this year, was billed for sew
eral speeches in the district, but it happens
that the Populist candidate, Rev. u. M.
Browder, once an opponent of Bailey
in a congressional race in Texas, and the
Populists flooded the district with so much
of Bailey's past political history as a lead
er in shotgun methods that the Texan was
seized with sudden illness and did not APP
pear in the district.
md nrof &c rTo
fairly well organized in the district. One
cannot help wondering at the desperate eff
forts the Democrats have put forth to carry
a district normally Democratic by over 20O0
votes. If any Democrat in the State who
holds q political job or who is possessed
of fair share Of this worlds goods, has
failed to contribute to the corruption fund,
it has not been because he has not been
solicited and begged. They have even COM
PEELED the men selected by their side as
judges and clerks of election to advance
for the fund the amount of pay they will
get from the counties for their services.
Despite all their efforts, however things
do not appear TO have gone well with them.
Their candidate was originally a gold man,
who sold his opinions for the sake of future
party promotion and on this ground the
Populists have been appealing with consid-
cradle effect to the more radical silver men
of the district. Then the district has a
very large soldier element ard the veterans
are naturally attracted by Major Lee, the
Republican candidate, who Is one of them.

A COunciImanic One Nominated by
