said he, in discussing the situation alth

means we are going To carry indiana.
That has been the one doubtful oiqa"
in this State. but | have all along itit
that 1t would be with us. In the Fl st

that they see they are going to lose the

money into this State In the hope OF

are on TO all their efforts and believe in
our ability to get the free ballot and far
count that will Insure the State to Bryan.

Taggart Is showing his faith by his
works. While he is not wasting time dis
cusslng with republicans or paying much
attention to their bluffs. he is betting his
money on a democratic victory in this al
ways pivotal State Some Chicago news
papers had a story the other day that
Taggart was betting against republican
majority OF $4,000. which was construed
into an acknowledgment Of weakness 81
the democratic situation. 1t was noth'
ing OF the sort. He simply found sucker
who made an $4,000 bluff, and took hin
up He has also bet even on the state
and he believes that good bet.
8 Chairman Hernley OF the republican
. State committee admits that there Wi
0 be losses for the republican ticket in TN
a cities and towns, but talks OF the Ger
! tainty OF offsetting this detection by gain
1 in the country precincts He has a NIGEL!
o prepared table showing 1000 rural pre-
d cincts In the State aud he shows how b.
the change OF from seven to twelve vote
4 sn Zach Drecinct All of which looks cas-
" on paper. This very claim, however
i, seems to be an acknowledgment that Nc
Kinley is going TO lpse in the cities an
& towns at least l4.O00of the $4,000 majorit
n he had in ls96-a rather dangerous admis
n sion, il strikes me.
4 Every man who is al all familiar wit
politics knows that changes among tn
n farmers are, under normal conditions, re-
and far between This is particularly tru
" in Indiana. where a man imbioos his pom
tics while kicking about in his cradle
