ON WITH THE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign in the State is being
pressed more and more vigorously
every day, and the reports which reach
the Democratic headquarters tell OF
an increase of interest.
AS to the State at large the conclu-
sion is q foregone one that it is going
Democratic and by a large majority.
The Republicans concede this, but in
sist that the majority is going to be
greatly reduced and that in certain
sections they will carry close coun-
ties and in the counties which went
Republican at the last election they
will materially increase their ma
jorities.
There is no reason why this should
be so, and as the days pass between
this time and the day of election the
addresses made by the Democratic
speakers are apt to arouse the people
who are now seemingly content with
the fact that the Republicans are de-
feated. The defeat must be empha-
ity, and the splendid record of the
Democratic party in it's management
of State affairs is such as to cause
every Democrat to register his appro-
val at the polls and to cause every
independent voter in the State to cast
The Republicans. with more or less
confidence are making claims on the
Eighth and Tenth Congressional dis
tricts, while on the other hand there
Is a feeling of confidence among the
Democrats that these two districts will
be in the Democratic column with the
other districts of the State. 1t only
requires perseverance and the getting
out of the vote to make this so, and
the Democrat who would do his full
duty should bestir himself to bring
out in every precinct the full Demo-
cratic strength. The people have only
to have presented to them the great
record and great purposes of the De-
mocracy to have them give it their
votes and their heartiest support. AM
arouse for the fight, lay aside any in
difference, get rid Of all apathy and
buckle down to the contest, detern
med that everywhere in reason the
Democratic nominees shall be elected
