A MEAsURELEss VICTORY.

The great battle has been fought and won
In every State in which votes are cast and
counted. In the history of the country
emphatic political triumph than that of
yesterday. AT this writing President Nc
Kinley has received at least PSI electoral
votes to leo for Mr. Bryan. Fuller returns
may give the Republican candidates an in
creased electoral vote. In the Eastern
States the pluralities of Mr.. Mckinley are
not as large as four years ago. but in most
of the Western States the pluralities are
as large as they were in 1896.
While the returns not complete it is
fair to assume from those which have been
published that the next national House of
Representatives will be Republican by a
larger majority than the party has in the
present House. Next to the election of a
Republican President, the election of a
Republican House is important
In the splendid array of Republican
States none outshines Indiana. Others have
larger pluralities. but in none was the con-

question of the thousands that would
measure the plurality-in Indiana II was
a struggle for individual votes. plurality
of less than $1,000 in 1896 in a total vote of
over $4,000 is a margin that a loss of ~
per cent by the Republicans and a corre-
spending gain for the Democrats would
have wiped out. In the State are 1902 pre-
cincts-a loss of three Republican votes to
a precinct and corresponding gain by the
Bryanites would have given Indiana to
them. Upon the Republican columns in In
diana the Bryan leaders made their most
persistent assaults. Hither he came to ac-
cept his nomination, and twice afterward
Mr.. Bryan assailed that narrow plurality.
Against that slender plurality the malig-
nants of the Prohibition following massed
their most strenuous efforts, but in vain.
The returns thus far received indicate a
Republican plurality of from $1,000 to 10000.
If Indiana held it's plurality of 1896 it would
be entitled to place in the front rank
