Stephen B. Fleming.—Albion Democrat. Mr. Landis says the Steele force are guilty of bribery, and Mr. Dunlap says that Mr. Cromer won by the use of money. It’s all republican testimony, too. —Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert now has things his own way in Allen county, for the republican nomination to congress in the twelfth district, and as a result his chances are materdly enchanced. It is anempty honor at best, so why envy the ambitous young statesman.

In the Sth congressional district the republicans nominated by the primary system. By that system every republican voter in the district has an opportunity to vote direct for the man of his choice. Where the republican voters of Whitley county given an opportunity to vote that way for congressman they would certainly vote down the machine candidate. — Columbia City Post. Reports from state headquarters inform us that nearly every demoera ic county oragniaation has been protected, something unprecented this early in a campaign year. This together with many thousand other things have given rise to a high hope that this is the year of all years. It is evident that the Inidana democrats are already putting on the glove and are wearing a determined expression, which bodes no good to those of the g. o. p. who , wear lo w cut and close fitting tights. Congressman James E. Watson of the sixth Indiana district has been renominated, and again stands a fair chance of election. His district has a republican majority that is too large for mental calculation. His present committee position on the ways and means committee | has added a color of prestige to his standing as a congressman, and it is likely he can go to congress as long as he behaves in accordanoe with those who dictate the policy of his party. If he ever gets coltish ; and gives evidence of having a mind of his own. Jim will have to walk the kick plank.

Congressman Cromer, of the Muncie district, has removed all doubt as to his being the choice of his party for representative in congress. Primary elections were held in all the counties of the district, and the result is a clear majority of about 2000 for Cromer. The latter has been in congress a number of terms, and several ambitious gentlemen of his party have for some time been of the opinion that Cromer has had enough. 3ut Cromer believes otherwise, and he feels supremely happy over his success in demonstrating that his belief is that of a majority of his party associates.—South Bend Times.

A recapitulation of elettrio railroad construction in the country shops that Indiana will be the center of it in 1904 and will probably take the lead over Ohio, which led last year.
