INDIANA SWINGING INTO LINE.-It is seen
IN the recent drift in Indiana politics that the
forces now dominating the sentiment Of that State
are all working in favor OF the Republican party
For the last six years Indiana has been the
Republican side That States tendency TO swing
from to the other party in succession is likely
to be interrupted in 1900 and its electoral vote
given to the party which carried It in 1SS Ar-
thorties in Indiana Of all the political parties are
getting into harmony this point No intelligent
democrat any longer supposes Bryan has any
chance to win Indiana this year That state has
the same stake all the other industrial com
munities in preserving the 10O-cent dollar It has
the same friendship for National expansion "a all
the other Western States. Indiana II Is safe IN
predict is in the Republican line for 1900 whatever
future.

MKINLEY AMONG COLLEGE ATEN-A can
OF the professors at Boston University showed
twelve votes for Mckinley, one for Bryan and one
non-voter. A similar poll OF the Massachusetts
Institute OF Technology resulted in sixteen votes
for Mckinley and none for Bryan, one for a third
party and the others nOn-cOmmittaI or undecided.
The faculty Of Northwestern University in Chicago
when polled showed twenty-one votes for Mckinley
and two undecided Not one expressed himself as
willing to vote for Bryan
SUPERSTITION IN POLITICS-The assumption
mat SeW-HOrk and Indiana viii swing backward to
the Democrats in 1900 just because they did this
eight years ago and sixteen years ago is about
sensible as would be an assumption that the DEM
ocrats would carry the country for the next twenty
or twenty-five years because they were the
part OF the century Men in New-YorE and In

1886 and 1900 will never be resurrected in the United
States.-(The St Louis Globe-Democrat.
MKINLEY IN THE MINING STATES-IntsI-
gent persons think that Colorado, Idaho and Mon
tana. Utah and Nevada will be carried by McKl-
ley this year. The Republican campaign Managers
Of course, are not putting the mining States IN the
Republican column Nevertheless, the drift TO the
Republicans in all OF them is so strong that all Of
these states will be in doubt until the ballots
all counted Some Of them probably lesuite their
heavy Bryanite majOrities IN 1896 will be won BY
the Republicans. The Republicans can win The
Presidency without those States but the prospects
are SO favorable IN them that the country viii
