Plurality on State Ticket Will Be Nearly
Aifteen thousand.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10. With one
fifth Of the precincts Of the state heard
from, the indications are that the Re
publican plurality will be near 800. 1T
may vary 2, OOOteach way from from that
estimate The Demo cratic state com
mittee comedies that the Republicans
have won the state. Large Democratic
gains are shown by some counties, while.
other counties show large Republican
accessions. The vote on congressman
has Come IN slowly, but such returns as
have been received indicate that the.
Republicans have won in all the dis
tricts except the Second, Third, Fourth,
and Twelfth Some doubt exists assto
the Fifth and Eighth districts, but the
Demo crats have an impression that later
returns will show they have won in
those districts. .E
From the returns at hand it would
appear that the Republicans will have a
majority in both branches of the legis-
lature and a. majority on joint ballot Of
about 16.

THERE were several lessons taught
in the campaign just closed, and one
of them one which will not soon be-
forgotten is that when a party has in
charge Of its organization a man so.
thoroug hlys qualified for the practical.
work Of q campaign as was Tams,,
Bixby, that party commits an mex
cusable blunder when it decides that
it's better off without such a manager:
The present committee did everything
in its,power to achieve success, and ats
efforts we're surprisingly successful,
considering the lack OF acquaintance
and experience of the members Of the
committee. Judge Steele was a ZEAL.
Gus, faithful and Industrious chair
man, and worked himself almost to a
shadow in conducting the campaign,
but he was severely handicapped and
often much perplexed because he was
not intimately acquainted with the
various localities, the conditions ex-
listing in each, and the men with whom
twas necessary; to communicate in
order to carry oh the campaign IN q
successful manner.

FOR the first time in it's history, I'M
der its present management, the Min
neapolis Times went out of its own
beaten path and out of it's own politi-
cal circle to support a Republican,
candidate for governor. There were
two candidates in whom the Times
was especially and actively interested.
It made the very best fight of which it
was capable for Mr.. Eustis, and from
the very outset of the campaign emp
tied it's mud batteries on the Republic
can candidate for State auditor. Con-
templating the result Mr.. Eustis may
as deeply regret having incurred the
support of the Times as Mr.. Dunn may
rejoice in having provoked it's hostil-

The UNION conducted, as,elean and
manly fight for the principles it be-
lieves in during the campaign which
has just terminated. This paper has
thrown no mud. We congratulate the
successful candidates for office, and
sympathize with those who were de-
feated. In all sincerity the successful
candidate is the one to be pitied The
political campaign of 1898 is numbered
with the things that were.& Let us all
stop talking politics and get down to
business. There is more money in po-

is in any political Office within the gift

In the State campaign just closed
the Democrats have outdone them
selves and eclipsed even their own
dirty record in the matter of making
vile attacks upon Republican candi-
dates. The Democratic press Of the
State fairly reeked with SANDERS,
chiefly upon Eustis, but incidentally
upon other candidates on the ticket.
The Republican committee conducted
legitimate and honorable campaign,
presenting the issues Of theiaay in a
respectful manner and INDUCING in no
nncalled for personalities at the ex-
pense ofssthe Democratic candidates.
In the long run this latter kind of cam
paigning will win the respect Of the
people and the confid ence of theayoter:

: A. most singular thing about the re.

y a most Singular thing about the re-
cent campaign was the fact that
throughout the northern and eastern
states the Democrats insisted that free
silver was not an issue in this cam
paign, while in the south the Demo-
Gratis would discuss s no ct as an
ISSUE The fact is that free silver IS
really the only Democratic issue, and.
in strong Democratic localities the.
party had TO stick to its issue in orr
der to hold its vote in line. In Repnb-.:
lican or doubtful districts, where free
silver Wasso overwhelmingly defeated.
ID 1896, the. Democrats were afraid of
:it,and dodgeds it, appealing to local
prejudice and Dragging in all sorts Of
manufactured issues not pertinent to
the occasion. In New York, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and other states which
went so strongly against silver two
years ago, the Democrats steered clear
-. .aa.
of this issue; and made their campaign
on some local question. In Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Arkansas, and other
overwhelmingly Democratic States
they took their silver straight at six
teen to one, just as they did in 1896.
1t all goes to show that the Democrats
have no particular issue, except the
policy of keeping what they have and
hustling for more.

ments are not as sensational as might
have been expected from the charges

been disclosed to show the folly. of APP
pointing; the pinhead sons of great men

the mistakes that were made in the
field were do to the undergraduates
who were given commissions as trib-
ute of respect to their fathers in
heaven, and much of the suffering in
the hospitals was due to the fact that
other favored sons of equally great
men were commissioned as surgeons,
instead of being placed in the charge
of the mule corral, which they were so
much more eminently qualified to COM
mand. By carefully disposing in a
personal way of the supplies of whisky

did to their own, comfort. If we ever
have another war, officers, like the
men, should be selected with view to
their fitness for fighting purposes, and
not because of something that was
