With regard to recent election results in
Indiana, the New York World says:
The formerly doubtful State OF Indiana is the
FIRST to report officially the full vote cast at the
late election, which was for secretary of state
and other minor State officers. The figures are

very close with margin between parties Of only
from $4,000 to $4,000. But for the present the
Tsepuf69heans apparently have the upper hand in

The republicans claim that Indiana has
been taken out of the doubtful column and
placed in the list of certain republican
States, and gives as reason therefor the
immense growth OF the manufacturing in.
iustries Of the State. 1t is the theory that
his growth Of manufactures has caused a
corresponding growth of the doctrine Of a
protective tariff
The election returns furnish some grounds
In support of the claim, but there were
other causes for recent election results
One Of these was the afront to the regular
democrats on the part Of the so.called re
organizers, which caused many voters to
remain away from the polls, thus entaillns
the big loss in the party vote Anything like
a full vote on the mart Of the democrats
would have carried the State.
The next political battle, two years hence
will be fought out with the tariff the leading
i not the paramount issue, and then II will
be determined whether or not Indiana is to
remain a permanent republican State.
