Indiana has done herself proud. She has
repeated the verdict of 1896 against free sill
yer with a voice almost as emphatic as to
plurality and more so IN it's effect.-Lafay
cite Courier
1t was glorious victory. Not so much
a partisan victory as a national victory.
A vote OF confidence in the government at
Washington and a vote of allegiance to the
cardinal principles OF honesty.-Richmon
Item.
Under the able leadership of Chairman
Moss perfect organization was effected
and maintained and the party is united and
harmonious. Cass county is swinging

Putnam county did not go Repub ican but
then Putnam politics was not all that was
involved in Tuesdays struggle. There were
others. The victory in Indiana indicates on

Republican and that means the retirement
of Turpie, in itself an achievement that is
sufficient glory for one day.-Greencastle

1t is safe to predict that no congressional
district in Indiana made for itself prouder
record Tuesday than did the Eleventh Re-
ports now in indicate that Major Steele will
have d plurality over Michaels of about
Asa. This is a victory of the most substan-
tial sort. 1t appears that the recent efforts
IeSorted to by the Democrats in the hope
of reducing Mr.. Steele's majority only sue
ceeded in making him more votes.-Kokomo
Tribune
1t is glory enough for one day. The Re-
publicans have swept everything before
them in the State; have carried the Legisla-
ture and have made clean sweep in Bar
tholomew county. The 16-to-1 fanaticism is
dead and Bryan is laid on the shelf for 1900.
The victory was due first to the righteous
principles of the Republican party, secondly
to the complete ana thorough organizations
OF the state and counties, thirdly to the aid
of Democrats who believe in sound money
and who are not willing to sell their birth
right for mess of pottage, and, fourthly,
to higher patriotism than mere PARTISAN
Ship.-Columbus Republican.
The people have paid their debt of graft
tude to The Republican party. They have
put their veto on Democratic obstructive

in securing from Spain all of the fruits of

places the country in the front rank of the
nations of the world. They have deter

furnace fires and started the machinery of
countless Observation-Disclosures Call.

The Republicans have carried Vanderburg
county and the entire ticket is elected by
varying majorities. This is the best news
that can come to the people of this great
and growing city. 1t indicates that the peo-
pie of this part of the State are in favor OF
sound money, and that not alone the bust
reSS men but the laborinS men are IN the
great procession that is leading on 10 pros

Hemenway is cause for the greatest con-
gresham the district has ever had and II is
rot only just to him. but also to the district

There is no disgusting the fact that VIII
liam Mckinley is to-day the idol of the Re-
publican party, and that he enjoys the re-
