In the meanwhile dispatches from
Santiago say the Spaniards pay tribute

Meetings of all parties were held in near
ly every city and town In the state. There
are to be elected a full state ticket. two
members of congress, district and county
officers, including members of the legisla-
ture. Owing to the failure of the last leg

ator IL to be chosen at the coming ses-
sion. There are three tickets in the field
the republican, the f~usionist, composed OF
democrats, populists and free silver re-
publicans, and the middle Of the road
populists.
In the presidential election of 1896. when
fusion of the democrats, populists and
free silver republicans was complete. the
republicans carried the state by 100 ma
jority. The vote of the middle Of the road
populists will not be large. but 1t il con
coded that IL win benefit the republicans
