LINING up THEIR FORCES
Democrats and Republicans in Indiana Pre-
pairing for Fall Election.
Both Parties Hopeful, With the Re-
Chances on Congressmen.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. August %, 1885,
The committees of both political parties
are lining up their forces preparatory to
the formal opening of the campaign. Both
parties are hopeful, but SO far the state
ticket is concerned, ard the legislature. the
republicans have at this time considerably
the best of the situation. They have the
advantage of being in, and with having
made an exceptionally good record In ad-
ministrative affairs of the state. The last
democratic administration, however was
also exceptionally good The last legis-
lature enacted number of most excellent
laws-laws tending to advance ths material
interests Of the state. In fact. since the
hrst legislature under the constit ution, In
dfana has had none that has done so well
by the State and the people al the one
elected two years ago. Thus. OF state is
sues, the republicans have nothing to fear
from discussion.
They also have the prestige. won by
President Mckinley in the condtlct of the
war. In Indiana the people are very
strongly inclined toward keeping all the
eonquests OF the army and navy. A few
democrats, and also few republicans
however, shake their heads wisely and
talk about departing from the old tradi-
tlcns, eut- the masses are decidedly in favor
or holding the Philippines. They are in
lavor OF the Nicaragua canal, and believe
lnat the future for the country Is brighter
than ever. Hence the tendency is toward
the republican policy. These thiHgs fill the
republican leaders with confidence. While
their opponents are not confident. they are
very hopeful, and give many reasons for
the hope that is within them They pro-
TESS to believe that silverism is not dead,

THE VITAL STATISTICS
Compilation by District Health Office for the
Past Year
Death Rate the Lowest Ever Reached
Regarded as Responsible.

The compilation of the vital statistics of
the District for the fiscal year ended June
30 1898. under the supervision of the health
department, has progressed far enough to
irdicate that the death rate during that
period was the lowest which has yet been
recorded. 1892 per cent per LOCO. The
death rate for the preceding year was 20.1
per 1000 and that for 1S95-96 was 21.53
The lowest previously recorded rate oc-
Cured in 1S94-95, when it was 2051. The
death rate for the white race alone last
year was 1888, the lowest previously re-
corded being 1897: that for the colored
race was 27.51, the lowest prior record be-
ing 2SIS. This is regarded as an excel
lent showing for the city. the improved
health conditions being attributable to the
gradual perfection of the sewage system
of the District.
Comparative Statement.
Comparing the number of deaths which
occurred during the fiscal year ended June
So 1898, with that for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1897 there is a decrease in the
number of deaths of those under five years
of age from ,s53 to 1,779 and of those fifty
years of age and over from 1,S10 to LIB
population, the total number of deaths was
:s32 less than that for 1S96-91 and 4S9 less
than that for 1896.

The One Great Issue,


They declare that it is the one great is
sue; that prosperity has not come, and
that the wages of workingmen have not
been increased; and that last is true SO far
as Indiana is concerned. They claim the
republicans have not redeemed their
pledge to reform the currency, and they
are making the most of that argument
1t Is beginning to have weight with the
voters, but 1t is yet too early to tell lust
how great a figure it will cut in the cam
paiSn. Both parties have put up a more
than usually good ticket. Much depends
upon this county, and, if anything, the
democrats have the best of it so far as
the personnel of the ticket goes. If they
should carry this county it will very likely
give them control of the legislature on
joint ballot and enable them to elect a
successor to Senator Turpie.
II the election should be held in Septem-
legislature and state tickets but repre-
sentatives in Congress it is a little more
mixed. The democrats expect to make
gains in the first. ninth and thirteenth dis
tr.cts. The first and thirteenth districts
are nominally democratic, although the re-
publicans' have carried them in the last
two elections. Mr.. Hemenway carried the
first district two years ago by about 1000
plurality. The populists there are. or were,
very strong. The democrats this year
claim they will get most of that vote.
There was a very decided opposition to
the denomination of Mr.. Hemenway, and.
it is claimed he will fail by several hundred
in carrying his vote of two years ago. The
republicans, on the other hand claim his
election will be accomplished easily. me
chances are against him.

Fractional Feeling.

about 800 plurality. He has made a good
member, but post office fights destroyed
his popularity and he was defeated for a
denomination. This has produced fac
tional feeling that Injuries the republican
chances and it need surprise no one If a
democrat is returned.
In the ninth district Mr.. Lands just
pulled through two years ago, and he has
had some difficulty with patronage. He is
opposed by Cheadle again. If conditions
were the same as two years ago Mr.. Chea-
die would win this time easily, but the
conditions are not the same for him. He
has considerable bolt in his own party
against him, and the populists have repu-
dated him. He was originally q republic
can, then became a populist and then
democrat. This year he was nominated by
the populists, but failed to formally accept
the nomination. He was then nominated
by the democrats, quite a number of the
delegates leaving the convention and re-
fusing to indorse his nomination. The
populists then repudiated him. The demo-
orats express great confidence in his cleo
ton, but the chances are in favor of
Lands.
The democrats ere very hopeful of two
other districts now represented by republi-
cans-the fifth and seventh Mr.. Faris of
the fifth, was elected two years ago with
less than 400 plurality. His distribution of
patronage came very near defeating his re-
nomination, and he only won after a long
and bitter struggle in the convention The
feeling IS quite strong against him in his
district. and his election is by no means as
sLred. The silver sentiment is quite strong
in that district. and the gold democrats
who two years ago supported the republi-
cans arc somewhat disgusted because no
currency reform has been lnaugurated.
They talk as If they would refrain from
voting, or go back to their old party. In
either case Mr.. Faris will probably be de-
feated. He must get all the votes he had
two years ago to meet with success, and
he is certain to lose some republicans. To-
day 1t would be safe to gamble on his de.
feat but matters may change before cleo

Indianapolis District.


The seventh is the Indianapolis district.
1t was there the great power of the gold
democrats was felt, and they loyalty sup
ported Mr.. Overstreet. The democrats
have not nominated a strong candidate,
but they express great confidence that he
will win out. He is of the rankest of free
silverites. and while many of the gold
democrats have expressed an intention of
supporting him. the majority of them will
vote against him. This Is very uncertain
county. Two years ago 1t gave an over
whelming majority for the republicans, but
last fall the city went almost as strongly
the other way. so no one can tell just what
will be the outcome at the next election.
The democrats Of the county are better or
ganized than the republicans. and up to
this time it is anybody's fight, with the
chances slightly in favor of Mr.. Overstreet
Had the democrats nominated either Mr.
w. E. English or ]. P. Dunn, the odds
would have been decidedly against Mr.
Overstreet.

elected easily

"Boys," began the. Sunday school super

of abiding to your father as the old man.
When you grow up, no matter how big or

you who think you can do this please raise
your right hands,
Up went every hand except one.
Sternly cycling the delinquent, the super
intendent solemnly observed:
why, young man, / am horrihed-abso-

your behavior. Don't you wish to raise your
hand and put yourself on record as being
willing to respect the gray hairs of your IA

NO new BLOCKADE.
Doubts as to Whether Porto
Rico and the Philippines
Are to Be Attacked.

WASHINGTON, April 25, 1S9S-From the
fact that the State Department has not
been called upon so far to prepare any
proclamation giving notice of blockade
of either Porto Rico or the Philippines, 1t
may be set down as a fact that the naval
forces are not yet ready to move in that
direction. 1t Is the usual practice, as was
shown in the proclamation relative to the
blockade of Cuban ports, to give due no.
lice to foreign powers by proclamation OF
an intention to blockade, and although it
is not absolutely necessary to follow this
course il is believed the State Department
will observe the usual rule.
It is entirely within the province of an
admira commanding, however, II in his
opinion an emergency exists sufficient TO
justify it, to establish the blockade first
and then give notice, and in the case OF
the Philippines it is possible such acourse
may be followed in order that the Span
ish naval force at Manila might not be
given an opportunity to escape capture
at the hands of the United States Asiatic
squadron
Ihe State Department has not yet un-
dergaken to pass upon the legality of seiz-
ures OF prizes by United States naval yes
sells. 1t is the disposition of the officials
to allow this question to be decided by
the prize court, but the lodgemen of ear
nest protests with the Department against
some of the seizures already made may
result in obliging the Department to pass
upon this question in the beginning.
