HOW TO 10 WIN IN 94.

lhe Journal understands the Republicans have closed their headquarters in Indianapolis and gone home. The Democrats still have their li< adquartere opem in. tile Union block and do not propose' to close up at hil. They do not j intend to go homo. | The plain truen is the Demoj ends win victories in Indiana by i r jje rscr i emnoe, persistence and un- ’ v easing pegging away, j Democrats never lot up. sc-on ns one campaign closes i another begins with them.

f T - ' '> in half the tine it actually required. And so it would be with the Republican party. If it looked after politics as assiduously as the Democrat party it would always win, it would not permit the enemy to entrench itself whil#. the Republican snoozed in its tent There has not been a campaign in thirty-two years in which the Republicans have not been right and the Democrats wrong, and every time the Republican party has won a victory it has been solely on account of the virtue of its cause. The Democratic party has not 'won urtriumph save by misrepresentation and chicaner}-. What Dtmaoeraoyhas lacked -in what Republicans consider the essential elements of truth, patriotism and principle it has more than -made up in organization, and a bad cause well organized will clown a good cause not wHT organized nearly every time. The lie publicans of Indiana have nothing to be ashamed of in the campaign they have just finished. They did remarkably well against the flood of fraud and slander, deception and bigotry that was turned loose against them. And if the leaders of the party will assentble new, get on a war footing in Indiana at once, map out a campaign and follow it up. for the next tv/o years, the Indiana Democracy will take to the mountains in the fall of ’9l. In time of peace prepare for war. It is political suicide to fight a vigilant and unflagging foe by an extemporized campaign.— Delphi Journal.
