WHY REPUBLICANS WON
DANIEL e. STORMS GIVES REASONS
FOR SWEEPING VICTORY.
People Can No Longer He Stampeded
He Says-TaIks with Other
Politicians.

Daniel E. Storms, the newly elected sec
rotary of state, came over from Lafayette
yesterday and spent last night in Indian
apolis. He is naturally delighted with the
result of the election. and especially with
what his own county did.
1T was glorious victory" said he, land
the pluralities are larger than the most
sanguine Of us expected they would be.
Chairman Goodrich and Secretary Whitta-
ker built up a fine organization in the
State and did much toward bringing about
this happy result. II simply illustrates
that the people of Indiana are becoming
more and more thinking and reading peo-
pie 1t puts Indiana in the list of strong
Republican States and among the States
that will be reliable in the future for pro-
lection and sound money. The people of
Indiana can no longer be stampeded by
catchy propositions advanced by any po-
litcal party simply for the purpose of get
ting votes. To appeal to them the PROPOSE
ton must be sound. They will test IL and
If il is found wanting they turn ii down.
The people of this State absolutely De-
lieve in Senator Fairbanks. L have been
in almost every county in the State and
they are intensely loyal to him. The fact
that he was to be either reelected or de-
feated was worth thousands OF votes to the
Republican ticket He made one of the
greatest and most effective campaigns ever
made by any man in Indiana. Even the
leading business men in the Democratic
party have faith in Senator Fairbanks and
wanted him returned to the Senate.
Il am very proud of the Republicans OF
Tippecanoe county and am very grateful for
the splendid vote they gave me. Will
Woods victory is the greatest of all. He
was attacked on all sides, but triumphed
completely.

The LEGISLATIVE TICKET
A LARGE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY ON
JOINT BALLOT.
The Result of the Election Exceeds
the Fondest Expectations of the
Party Managers.

House of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Republicans, twenty-nine Democrats.
Senate-Thirty-five Republicans, fifteen
Democrats.
Republican majority on joint ballot, six
ty-two.
The Republican majority in Indianas
legislative body will be even larger than
the most sanguine partisan expected. 1t
is so large that some of the Republicans
have already expressed the fear that 1t
will be ''unwieldy." According to the in
formation in the hands of the Republican
state committee yesterday evening the 1Oo
members of the lower house will include
seventy-one Republicans. In the Senate IT is
estimated that there will not be less than
thirty-five Republicans. giving a majority
of sixty-two on joint ballot. Below
is printed list Of the members OF both
houses, including rhe holdover senators.
The list is believed 90 be substantially cor
rect, although later returns may make a
few changes. The doubtful districts are
placed in the Democratic list.
According to the reports to the state
committee the members of the Legislature
will be as follows:

became worse, and died on Nov. g. of that
year at the early age of thirty-five.
1t was but few lays before his death
that the incident occurred to which we
allude. A telegraph message was received
in this city from President Abraham Lin

words: Let me know the exact condition
of your health, as | want TO know how you

cred in person TO General Jameson at his
home in Upper Saltwater by our esteemed
townsman, Mr.. Charles E. Bliss, who was
then in charge of the American telegraph
office IN this city. An answer was for

but in a few days General Jameson had
answered the last summons.
Looking at this incident to-day, what a
flood of pathos IL brings to mind. Presi-
dent Lincoln at that time was carrying
upon his heart a nations trials. He was
weighted with sorrow and responsibility as
few men have ever been burdened with
the cares of statecraft in time of raging
civil war. Yet he could stop amid * all TO

Then the man picked up one of. the um-
brellas and hurried out. The tobacconist
was hiring his umbrellas at Is cents
apiece, requiring dollar security for their
return. His customers were business men
of the neighborhood, who live in the SUI
burbs and who had come to town without
their mackintoshes.
Within two hours ten men had come in
to hire umbrellas. There was little rush
between and 6 o'clock in the evening The
smile of the proprietor broadened as his
stock of umbrellas decreased.

commonly supposed to be so, that glass is
unattached or completely undssolved by

which often appear on a water bottle arise
from the action of the water upon the

Walking is an art, almost said to be one

the measured stride, the springy step. the
easy pose of body and the swing of the
arms, which make walking at once one OF
the most healthful and enjoyable forms of
physical exercise. For the real pleasure
of walking one must turn TO the country.
Pavements are but dead, unyielding matter

is a spring in response to the pressure
of the foot which is a delight and an in
spiration in itself. The purity of the air
sets the blood to racing gloriously. Good

In the several articles which the Com

weeks regarding the history of the Second
Regiment of Maine Volunteers and its rec
ord of heroism in the war for the Union.
one incident has not been mentioned, which
deserves TO be spoken of now that its vet
Grams are with to revive old recollections
and live over again the days of the past. 1t
relates TO the gallant General Jameson, the
first colonel of the regiment.
The fortunes of war called him early into
the heart of the strife. When his regiment
had been driven back from the batteries
of the enemy at the first battle of Bull Run,
leaving their wounded behind, Colonel
Jameson called for volunteers, and, leading
back little band under steady fire, the
men brought off in their arms the injured
and helpless. 1t was for gallantry in this
engagement that he won his brisadier's
star. Later he commanded splendid regi-
ments from New York and Pennsylvania
In the battles of Yorktown. Williamsburg
and Fair Oaks. General Jameson became so
worn out with heavy marches, the fatigue
OF camp life. the exposure and hardship of
battle and the personal exertion OF caring
