TO the tldltor OF The Tribute.
Sir: The political air has been somewhat
cleared by the fusion of the two Republican
parties and the selection of joint ticket. There
had been no dispute to the Presidential cleo
tors, and. judging by the vote Of 1900. indica-
tions point to a plurality for Roosevelt of be-
tween 1900 and 1900. AS to the State ticket
1t is probable that the Republicans will carry
it by the same plurality expected for the Presi-
dental electors. This ticket includes a Repre-
sentative in Congress. In the matter Of the
members of the General Assembly, which will
be called upon to select United States Senator
to succeed DIR. L. H. Ball. the Regular whose
term expires March next, there is no prediC-
ton to be made. But the probabilities are that
there will be the usual division of Republican
votes in the legislature. and thus the te-up
Summed up, the general belief in Republican
circles is that they will carry the State and
national ticket by good margin.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In 1900 the State Of Nevada was carried
by W. ]. Bryan by a $500 majority Since then
there has been a decided change in the political
aspect. The Presidents general Western sym
pathes his visit to this State, and the irrigation
work. now being done under Republican ad-
mlnistration and fostered by the President, are
the causes of this change.
From reports from all sections OF Nevada am
led to believe that this State can be counted III
the Republican column. There is more general
activity among Republicans here than has been
shown for a number of years. The flOurishing
condition Of the State the new discoveries in
mines at Tonopah and GOldhelds, and the gem
eral prosperity for the last four years are haV-
ing their effect.
Regarding the United States Senator and Con-
gressman, the fight will be close; at present
favorable to the Republicans.

Sir: Answering your request for information
concerning the election outlook In Iowa, there
is absolutely no question OF Republican victory.
The Democratic State Committee is making no
fight and the result Is merely question OF
majority. The majority for the State and na-

A Democratic Nominee Under Indictment
Causes Some Trouble.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: A conservative estimate OF the election re-
suits in Florida is: National ticket, Democratic
majority, 1900; State ticket with exception OF
the Superintendent of Public Instruction Demo
cratic majority II 4OG0; Ist Congress District,
Democratic ma tority. 5000; Id District Demo-
cratic majority. 5000; lid District Democratic
majority. 5000. For State School Superin-
tendent there are two Democratic candidates,
and the chances are even for the Republican
nominee. W. r. O'Neil winning. The nominee
of the Democratic primary is under Indictment
for criminal libel, and the State Democratic
Committee has placed another candidate the
ticket for the office but the regular primary
nominee declines to withdraw, and hence the
party is badly split on this Office. The Republi-
can nominee is good man. we'll qualified for
the office, and will get many Democratic votes.
This is the first time since 1876 that Repub-
lCan has stood any chance of election to a State
office in Florida. j. p. CLARKSON.
