INDIANA IS $4,000 OR MORE
Republicans Roll Up Plurality That Surprises
Even Themselves

turers, merchants, workingmen, farmers
and others who are vitality interested in
the maintenance of sound and stable con-
ditions, and who would have been seriously
jeopardized by Democratic success and the
consequent radical reversal of existing
policies. There is nothing so disquieting
and injurious as uncertainty. Republican
triumph relieves the public mind from any
manner of doubt as to the policies which
will be continued in force and as to the
character of the administration of public
affairs. The result Is a handsome indorse-
ment of our conspicuously successful ma
tional and State administration.
I'VE have elected nine members of Con-
gress. retaining our present strength In the
lower house. The majorities by which they
have been elected are decisive. The candi-
dates elected are all able men and will rem
der excellent service in the national House
of Representatives.
I'VE have control of both branches OF
the Legislature by a large majority. The
confidence which the people have again ex-
pressed in the Republican party must
awaken I'm us a renewed determination to
exercise the power reposed in us wisely
and well to the end that we may advance
to the utmost the welfare of the State and
nation"

MIR. Gilbert Gratihed at the Result Of
the Election.

Lieutenant Governor Gilbert was at the
Republican state committee rooms last
night hearing with qualification the Re-
publican returns sent in from over the
State. Mr.. Gilbert, in speaking of the re-
suit. said: THE result I'm Indiana is another
proof of the intelligent comprehension of
our people regarding public questions In
diana can no longer be swayed by appeals
to passion or prejudice. Attacks. either
upon our soldiery or our industrial condi-
tions. will not be tolerated by our citizens.
The widespread prosperity of to-day is ap-
preciated. Our senators and the Repub-
lican delegation in Congress have served In
full measure the people whom they repre-
sented: and the people. just as they are,
have indorsed them with overwhelming
vote. Nor should the administration of the
affairs of our State by Governor Durbin
be overlooked. The result is a splendid trib-
ute to his record. All those who aspire to
leadership should learn that in Indiana
honest effort and fidelity to the interests
of the people will be rewarded while dema-
gogic appeal will fall upon deaf ears 1t Is
day for mutual congratulaton. The
wheels of prosperity will continue to re-
volve, and Indiana has shown her fitness
for the high place she occupies in the van-
guard of progress"

SENATOR BEvERIDGE HAPPY.
His Prediction Realized and He Tells
How Victory Was Won.


How Victory Was Won.
Senator Albert ]. Beveridge said that he
was not surprised at the size of the Repub-
lican majority in Indiana. Some time ago
In an interview he predicted that the Re-
publicans would carry the State by about
the majority that was announced last night,
and In public speech at Winchester he
made a similar prediction. Senator Bev-
eridge last night said:
II have been certain of just this result
from the very first. Not only have the
meetings been as large as in presidential
campaign, and the interest intense. but the
opposition failed to meet any issue that
they themselves had raised. They conducted
what is called a gumshoe campaign and the
day for such a campaign passed away
many years ago. 1t is as much out of date
as the scythe compared with the modern
self-binder.
"On the contrary, we met every issue
frankly and without any evasion. arguing
every question out from the ground up.
We met the attack on organized industry.
commonly known as the trust question,
with the same courage and sincere mind
that we met the attack on expansion. Since
1898 the Republicans of Indiana have brave
ly discussed before the people every one
of the great and new questions which have
arisen the very instant they appeared, and
we have kept up the fight until those Is
sues were settled.
This great victory is an Endorsement of
the policies of the administrations of Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. Another thing is
worthy of note, and that is that we are
steadily increasing our majorities in In
diana every year. AS long as we continue
our policy of frankness. honesty and cour-
age in dealing with new issues Indiana
will be as safely Republican as Massachu-
setts. The moment we or any other party
becomes shifty and evasive that party
loses, and deserves to lose.
TOO much credit cannot be given to the
Republican organization. state. county and
precinct. for the victory"
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-11-05

to an early hour this morning the returns
indicated that the control of the national
Congress remains with the Republican
party. While official returns may make the
working majority of the Republican party
in the House close one there is no doubt
that it will be sufficient for all party pur-
poses. From national standpoint the con-
troll of the lower branch of Congress was
the real contest. Many of the States
elected Legislatures which will Choose
United States senators, but the result OF
these elections has in no way imperiled the
Republican majority of the upper body.
In those States which elected Governors
power was not continued in that position.
In some of the States, however, there was
a decided change from the vote cast two
years ago.
In the East the main interest centered
in the two great States of New York and
Pennsylvania, in the latter because of the
conditions which were brought about by
the recent coal strike and in New York be-
cause of its bearing on the future Of his
party of the candidate for Governor.
New York reelected Gov. B. B. Odell
and the entire state ticket. though the fall
ing off in the Republican plurality as COM
pared to 1900 was enormous. At a late hour
last night Odells plurality was placed at
about 10000. The Democrats made very
slight gain in the Legislature. but not
enough to prevent the election of a Repub-
lican successor to Senator Platt. The DEM
ocrats also made slight gains in the con-
gressional elections, the unofficial figures
placing the delegation at twenty Repub-
licans and seventeen Democrats.

gressional campaign indicate that the Re-
publican sentiment throughout the country
is fully as strong as We have claimed in
our campaign statements. The loss in New
York city is due entirely to local conditions
and it is not at all an expression of public
opinion on the great national issue
Throughout the territory Immediately sur
rounding New York city, that is, In Con-
necticut, New Jersey, the State of New
York and Pennsylvania, the Republicans
more than held their own. and this plain
ly indicates, think, that the slump in New
York city was purely local incident"

Republicans have carried the State by the
vote claimed, nor will we dispute that they
have carried it. We do not know as yet
what the vote was and will not discuss 1t
until we learn something definite. All of
the information furnished us has been gen.
eral and incomplete and there is nothing
yet on which we can accurately name plu-
ralities. All the indications, however. are
that we are beaten, and we will not try to
dispute 1t, but we do not intend to admit 1t

day he was returning to London with
