conditions are most favorable. Wei
have a good county ticket nominated,
and will elect part of it. and all repub-
licans who ought to know won t concede
the county to Bryan by over 900. Many
say we will not lose it by more than 200.
In 1896 Col. Hepburn lost the county by
|s77.
OF course Page is the old reliable re-
publican county Of the district-it and
Ringgold. Page can always be depend
ed upon in a presidential year for a ma
|jority somewhere near 1000. In 1896 the
county gave the colonel over 800, and
the eastern half OF the county, near
Shenandoah is in much better shape
now than four years ago. The county
ought to give 1000. In RinggOld county
the majority will be around 700s Shaw
and Dobson have both carried the coun-S
Ity by 700. and in 1896 we had 562. 1t
ought to be easy to reach 200 this year,
altho the democrats are better organ
ized than usual.
Decatur county is McGinnis' home
county. In 1886, thru the efforts Of Ed
Curry, then state chairman. that county
Went democratic and the entire county
ticket was elected. Since then the re-
publicans won in the next year the Tip-
pecanoe banner, and have been carrying
the county each year on the state tick
| ct. Last year Col Hepburn carried the
county by about 200. and the most re-
markable thing about the election was
4 that the entire republican county ticket
was defeated by from tf1irty-seven to
900 majority. 1t is very conservative to
Say that the county will be a stand-off.
McGinnts lie good maHs and h fairly
4 popular at home. His friends, VIII make
a great effort to give him good vote
in the county.
g"In Wayne county conditions are
much improved since 1896. and the coun-
5lty ought to swing back into the repub-
Il lican column by at least $50 majority.
In Appanoose county we have the miner
lvote to contend with, which always
4 imakea the county more or less doubtful,
at least when it comes to figuring on the
i size Of the majority. The strike in Penn
4 sylvania will not affect the miners there,
! but if anything ought to help US
: I'm Lucas and Clarke there is nothing
i unusual At Lucas and Cleveland. in
d Lucas county, there are number of
miners, but they are said to be all right,
4 and special efforts will be made to get
them lined up with US.
"In Union county conditions could not
6 be more favorable. Col. Hepburn Sc
Ecured a public building and federal
court for Creston, and this will insure
'thim large vote in Creston, regardless
I of party. The poll in that county shows
that we have 1t by $50. giving to the
4 democrats every doubtful voter. Adams
6 county is all right, and we can expect
4 the majority indicated.
