the detection OF the Germans and IN
negroes and the discomfort on the parf
OF the coal miners will Just about wipe OUT
the large republican majority. however
that may ba, II rs certain that the ue1h
ocratlc tickle, will gain more votes In ths
Eas. this year rnan IL Will In any otnet
section OF the country.
1he only question is. will It gain enough
to wipe out the republican maJoritles anu
give us sorre OF the electoral votes! LIE
Middle West Is the Held where We maze
get to get the electoral votes and u ~ 50
considered by the leaders OF the dem
ccratlc party today. 1t Is hoped tna' they
viii net allow anything that the repao-
licaus may do 10 cause them to chanse
their minds
1t was thought by some that the con
stan. presence OF Mark Hanna in the East
would cause the democratic managers L
think that he was alarmed over the pros
pecgs in New YORK ana otaeF Eas. e
states, and that they would relax .heir
vigilance IN the States OF the Middle Wsst
and begin chasing rainbows IN tne EAST.
It Is believed, however, that the demo-
Gratis are on to tins game OF the repuon-
can boss, and that ne can't successfully
play his old tricks again. The democratic
managers have their eyes on the cast
ali right, and those States Will be properly
taken care Of by the people who 1--we N
them and without cost 10 the National
committee, while the Middle West will be
worked for all it is worth.

There is no sort OF DOUBT now that In
diana Is as safe for the democratic ticket
as is tne State Of sxas. 1t was sdgge. : d
by some the other day that the recent
news item to the effect that the republican
poll of the State Of Indiana showed ,ha-
the State was lost TO ina. pAnty by over
$1,000 majority. mad been gwen o-t as a
Iuse on The part Of the republicans for
me double purpose 81 stirring up tne lait1-
lul and also OF putting the democrats TO
sleep. II such was the purpose Il WOE
work.
! had a talk with FORMER member OF
congress from Indiana yestlrd4y, m he
assures me that the republican poll, L.
they really took one, Is suos,an ,iaily ccr-
rect He says he does not know whether
the republicans took a poll, but he does
know that the democrats did take enc AID
that 1t shows that the State is safe To-
the democratic ticket by more than 1900
majority, and that he will bet all ne has
In the world that when the election IS
pulled of that the State VIII show more
than % 900 majority.
1t IS also believed here tina. the d m
ocrats have more than a fighting cha C
in the presidents own State. Every advice
from that State is encouraging to tn, de-
mocracy, and it is fro~n that Hanna
never was so badly worried and ratified S
he is at this time. A republican neWs-
paper man here mentioned the ether day
thar old Grosvenor had told him that BE-
never before saw Hanna so badly worried
over the APATHY" and the lack OF casa
that is rolling into the Golfers Of he
publican pouch. Grosvenor did not sa,
this for publication and he would not have
said it If he had thought It would eve
find It's way into the columns of d m
ocratic paper, therefore it can be safely
Sc down as fact
Hannas recent trip into the city of
Philadelphia was for the purpose Of rails
