! that the free silver Democrats may all be
lived up tor Parker.
/ Within the past few weeks there has
| been radical change in the proposed
conduct u the campaign, especially in
respect to the laboring classes. 1t was
al first intended to make great deal of
! capital out of strikes, and the beef strike at
| Chicago vas to have been enlarged upon
for political capital.
Conferences with many Of the Demo-
cratic leaders showed conclusively that
such a campaign would result in the loss of
thousands of votes from factory owners
| and business men generally; therefore the
alleged wrongs Of organized labor will not
be advertised by the Democratic campaign
managers. In fact. the subject will be
practically ignored, for it is now regarded
as certain that seeming alliance with
organized labor would result in alternating
Democratic employers without any corre-
spending gainsfrom the laboring classes.
1t now seems probable that the labor
side Of the Democratic campaign will be
confined to showing that Judge Parker
and Mr.. Davis have not been labors enc
mics. Mr.. Davis is particularly objection
able to the laboring men Of the State, but
the Republican managers, recognizing that
there is a great deal OF prejudice against
the labor union, are doing nothing in the
way of organizing that vote against the
Nice-Presidential candidate. A fair de-
duction is that neither party is willing to
risk the loss that might come from an open
alignment with organized labor.
The Republicans are counting a great
deal upon the nomination OF Mr.. Fairbanks
in this campaign. Prior to the Chicago
convention there were evidences OF dis
satisfaction with some OF the acts Of the
President, and the foundation was laid
for open opposition among Republicans
had less conservative man than Mr. Fair
banks been selected for the second place
on the ticket. His nomination has practi-
cally overcome all objections to the head
Of the ticket, for 1t In felt that he will be an
adviser OF the President and that his counsel
may prevent some of the things for which
Republicans were inclined to criticise the
Chief Executive.
Probably the only thing that the Repub-
Leans have to fear in this State Ii the in
fuence Of the legislative campaign upon
the State and national tickets. In some
counties the aspirants for Mr.. Fairbanks's
seat in the Senate have been over-zealous
in trying to control Legislative nominations,
and friction tes developed where harmony
must exist in order for the Republicans
to win.
In this respect they have not been no
judicious as the Democrats, for the latter
have no avowed candidates for the two
Senatorships, but are reserving their fight
till the Legislature IL won. Five hold-over
Senators have died since the last meeting
OF the Legislature, and this necessitates
special elections in some districts where the
parties are nearly evenly divided. and
anything that tends to make factions in the
Republican party lessens it's chances Of
control Of the Legislature on Joint ballot.

ever cast We're for and against free silver
| Prior to the introduction of the money
| issue the Democrats had carried tho State,
! If at ALL on reduced vote ~ compared
with the Presidential year. tn" only eX-
ception to this being in 1884. A condition
of apathy has always been welcomed by
the Indiana Democrats as indicative OF
victory for the party, for it il generally
adrgitted that the State is Republican
and only when the Republicans are apa-
thetic can the Democrats hope to win.
In the present campaign the most pro-
nounced apathy is in the Democratic party.
They have lost the State in five successive
elections and the naiorities in each of
these have been so pronounced that many
of the workers are discouraged. Some of
them have laid Off the political harness,
never to put it on again, and others are
wholly indifferent to the result, which they
think will be Republican despite any effort
they may make.
The one encouraging feature Of the cam
paign from the Democratic standpoint is
the coming back to the party fold of the
gold Democrats and the prospect thus
presented Of united party in future cam
pagns. This, though. has it's drawbacks,
for the free silver leaders, who were once
in the saddle, but many of>whom have now
been displaced, are not taking kindly to
the recognition OF the gold men by the
party organization and are openly cherg-
ing that Democratic victory in the nation
will be followed by the recognition by Judge
Parker Of men who have been fighting the
party for eight years.
They see or affect to see in Parker's ut
e., 81 fhn Ha rf
an indication that the adherents Of that
dogma will be rewarded il he is elected and
that the free silver men will be left out
in the cold and their eight years Of defeat
and privaton will go for naught. This sem
timent is more prevalent than the casual
observer would suspect, and 1t is having
much to do with the indifference that is
patent in many of the free silver counties
OF the State.
There are indications that the coming
of BRYAN is to be attended with disappoint-
ment to the party managers. They have
gone on the theory that the gold men will
all be in line and that the only trouble will
be in lining up the old free silver vote for
a man who has made gold platform for
himself in the absence OF one made for him
by his party, and Bryan is expected to as

Recognising that such assistance is alb
solutely necessary to prevent the State
from going Republican with landslide force,
the local leaders are frantic over Bryan,
and every county in the State Is besieging
the committee for Bryan speeches and
declaring that all is lost unless his influence
can be exerted in getting the recalcitrants
In line. Every one OF the ninetytwo coun-
ties has sent a request for him, but he will
make only twenty speeches In the State,
and some counties will be disappointed.

DIES MoINFs, Sept. l7.-If you were ar
actress, and had husband with whom
you had been living happily and lovingly ano
contentedly since your marriage few year,
before. wouldn't it rather surprise you to
hear him say at breakfast, one morning:
Don't you think it would be good idea

That was what happened to Della Prngle
Her husband. George n. Faith, meant
just what he said. Soon after maxi ne
the request he went in their private car
Della to attend the San Francisco Odd

and the neighbors are trying to console his
wife at her old home in Knoxville.
Ten years ago Della PrinRle was Just an
ordinary country girl. She wanted to
work and earn money. Her father told
her to go ahead, and she got a job at waiting
on the table and washing dishes In a hotel
at Knoxville, Ia, which is near her home.
She was then over 20. Also she was tall
and angular and rather unattractive
blonde, Nobody thought she would ever
amount to anything unless she blossomed
into boarding house keeper for she was
thrifty then.
1t was about that time that Della saw her
first theatrical troupe.
She wanted to be an actress from that
day on, and went to Chicago with what
little money she had, in order to dem on
strate her abilities.
She prospered from the first. She got
a minor position in travelling troupe,
but she wasn't satisfied She had business
instincts away above the average, and shs
decided to star herself.
She organized theatrical troupe of her
own She had saved her money and had
enough for start. The Della Prinsle
Opera Company soon became the best
known in Iowa. Miss Pringle played only
in the smaller towns, and she prospered

They also built the private car which was
named Della in honor Of the actress.
To the outside world they appeared
supremely happy. Mrs. Faith herself
thought that they were. She loved her
husband, and supposed that he loved her.
Then came the surprising request at the
breakfast table, which Mrs. Faith at first
took for a joke. She couldn't believe her
husband.

He feared that the result Of going over in a

Some OF the inquirers complain that the
estimates OF expenses are bewilderingly

hope that they can live decently for the
academic year at Oxford and have sum

that these examinations, which were held

merely qualifying, and where more than
one young man was adjudged to have
passed, considerations as to character,
industry and the like are believed to have
had weight in determining which OF the
candidates should receive the appoint

outside Of the dissatisfaction with the

rublicans, the indications all point to In
diaras being a Republican State at
the coming election Indeed, the tendency
toward that party has been growing ever
since the counties Of the natural gas belt
became manufacturing centres, and the
Republican leaders now regard the State
as standing in the Republican column
cutie as certainly as Ohio and Illinois.
This confidence is based upon two sepa-
rate facts. For one thing, in the eastern
and northern counties all the additions to
population have been Republican. and in
the southern counties the emigration has
been largely Democratic, the effect being
to increase the vote in the first named dis
tricts and to decrease It in the second.
Madison county, as an example. was
generally Democratic prior to 1885 and the
party could always depend upon it for
majority Of from 500 to 700 in Presidential
year New industries came with the dis
covery Of natural gas; and to-day it is 500
Republican, a change OF 1900 votes.
Delaware county, prior to 1886, was Repub-
iIcan, though never by more than few
hundred votes; but to-day its Republican
majority is more than 1000 and is increas-
ing from year to year. On the other hand
the vote in many of the Democratic coun-
Ties OF southern Indiana has decreased
ana though both parties have lost by
emigration to Western States. the greater
proportion Of the loss falls upon the Demo-
efdts and thus reduces the county majori-
aes and makes them smaller factors in
