call 10 issue license, which was $50 this
morning" said Clerk Needham on winding
up last night the biggest days work ever
done since couples began coming here to
be married. Needham's report shows 102
marriages. OF these sixty are suppressed
Many of this number are from Indiana, IL
hnois and Wisconsin, but three-fourths are
from Chicago. Mrs. Needham says: Il

AT least one wedding seems TO have been
arranged on short notice. A party of four
consisted Of couples No. l and No. 2. The
young man of couple No. dared his fellow
comrade No. to marry the woman of
couple No. 1, and in twenty minutes the Ii

formed. Other couples vow they have made
many weeks preparations for the event.

There must be those who can recall La
Dor day in 1896 Evidently many more men
participated in yesterdays parade than
aid four years ago; but the notice
able feature of Labor day in 1896 was the
expression of anxiety regarding the future.
Then about as many wage-earners tramped
the streets in enforced idleness as had full
employment. At that time many employers
were giving out little work to help faith
ful men to tide over the long period of i'm
dustrial paralysis. The careful observer
who walked the streets in 1896 could not
fail to notice the scores of men whose
faces and movements bore the signs of
encouragement. The blatant street-corner
orator always had an audience to listen to
his chatter for Is to 1. Doubtless many
were led to vote for Bryan by the pre-
dictions of even greater disaster If the
gold standard were established.
Four years have passed away. While
there are men who are not employed and
others who have not the employment they
desire, it is safe to say that at no time in
the industrial history of Indianapolis and
Indiana has labor been so fully employed
AT so good wages as during the last three
years. No longer are men seen walking
the streets with dsheartened air. There
have been few smokeless factory CHM
neys since the era of McKinleyism set in.
The stride and the faces of those who
marched yesterday indicated that they
faced no fear of closing factories and less
employment. If they are not Mckinley
voters they share the confidence which fol-
lowed Mckinley to the White House. No
marching body of laborers was ever better
dressed. and tastefully dressed wives and
children looked on with pride All those
who can recall the dire season of 1896 will,
If candid, admit that their condition has
vastly improved since that year.
And now, on the eve of another presiden-
tial election. these men. as wage-earners,
are urged TO vote against Mckinley, with
whose election in 1896 better days set in.
Can they forget the dreary days of 1894,
1895 and 1896? Do they desire return to
them? If they do they can do all they can
to bring back half employment by voting
for Mr.. Bryan. They may laugh at the
suggestion-so they did in 1892, which was
followed by the hungry years of 1894, 1896
and 1896.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Next Monday Maine will elect a Gov
ernor, Legislature and representatives in
Congress. OF the general result there is
not a particle of doubt. 1t is simply the
size of the Republican majority, and the
size depends very largely whether or not
the Democrats go to the polls. They for
got ali about election day in 1894; they
better in 1898. In 1892 the vote for Gov
ernor stood: Republican, $500; Demo-
cratic, 55.07S; Peoples. SOO5; Prohibition.
:,732-Republican plurality. 1851 In 1894
cratic, sO.621; Peoples. $751; Prohibition.
2,7SO-Republican plurality. 3S,97S In 1896
the vote was: Republican. 1874: Demo-
cratic, 343S7; Populist. 1892; Prohibition,
2.es1; Sound Money Democratic. 6O4-Re-
publican plurality, 1897. In 1898 the vote
stood: Republican. 54.266; Democratic. 20
497; Populist. 662; Prohibition, 2,355; Ma
tional Democratic, 310-Republican plural
ity, 24769. The highest Republican vote
prior to 1896 in 1888. when the Repub-
Dcdu CdHuludtt LOT GONeTnOT receiver ~
4o5. The Democratic vote for Governor
that year, and also the highest the party
has polled was 81. 343. That year, with the
votes of the minor parties, the total vote
of the State was 1887. and the Republican
plurality was 1866. The total vote of 1896
was 123. 74S. AS the Republican vote was
only $3.50 greater in 1896 than in 1883. and
the Democratic vote was 1856 less in 1896
than in 1883, it Is evident that nearly $4,000
Democrats took to the woods on election
day of 1896.
Such being the case, the Republican plu-
rality in Maine next Monday depends upon
the success of the Democratic managers in
getting the $4,000 stay-at-homes of 1896 to
the polls. They making effort to
bring them out; If they succeed a Repub-
Iican plurality of 10000. or 1000 more than
in 1883, when a full vote was polled, can
be regarded as a substantial Republican
victory and indicating the drift at the
present time. A plurality over 10000 would
indicate partial Democratic apathy.
