 Tn the middle west, including Indi- ana. there is. a great Mckinley boom, and the estimates of the republican ma jorities grow bigger daily. It is not unlikely that the rush of the tide may sweep Missouri along with it, and the republicans of Colorado and Nebraska now stoutly maintain that they will carry those states.
