REPUBLICN TICKETS.

In Vermont, 7,000 Republican gain. In Maine 25,000. Good enough. . . The final footing up shows that the Republican plurality in Maine is 41,000. It is the greatest Republican victory ever achieved in that state, not excepting even the great majorities of war-time elections.

There' is no comfort for the Populists in any of the elections t rat have been held this year. There is a measureless slump from the Democratic party but mighty little of it goes to the Peoples’ Party. It has gone to the party of protection, patriotism and sound money. The new rifle soon to be used by Uncle Sam’s soldier boys is a fearful weapon. It will shoot through a man at two miles distant, or through three men at a mile and a quarter; and 30 inches of seasoned white oak, at 200 feet. It takes a bullet | of an inch thick and an inch long, burns smokeless powder, shoots five times as a magazine gun and 30 times a minute, as a single Idader.

..„21Wh£i:a.ia .lhe..laboringmam’’. says the Elkhart Review, “who listened to Republican orators an 1 read Republican newspapers two years ago, who does not see how completely all those prophecies have been fulfilled. Even dark as were the shadows they pointed to, the reality that cast them has been more dire than was dreamed. Silent factories, idle men and women, paralysis and fear on every hand; hope takes wings and enterprise stricken with death! All these things and more are the result of the incapacity of the men which the sugar trust paid S3OO, 000 to elect to power. And the sky is not clearing yet.” Lakey & jSayler the new and enterprising (bakers and lunch men. Don’t forget them.

Hon, W. D. Owen, Republican candidate for Secretary of State, has been compelled to take a short rest from his campaign labors. The results of a sun-stroke, suffered a few years ago, still affect him. C. B. Landis, of Delphi, whose great abilities as a campaigner are fully appreciated by the state committee, has been selected to fill Mr,. Owen’s speaking appointments. It is expected that Mr. Owen will be sufficiently restored to health to meet Mr. Myers, his opposing Democratic candidate, in the series of joint debates that have been arranged for between them—one for each congressional district, and the first of which is to be at Evansville, Oct. 2nd. In this tenth district their meeting will be at Logans port, Oct. 23rd.

BUT THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THIS BILL WHICH ARE NOT IN LINE WITH HONEST TARIFF REFORM AND IT CONTAINS INCONSISTENCIES AND CRUDITIES WHICH OUGHT NOT TO APPEAR IN ANY TARIFF LAWS OF ANY KIND. —Cleveland’s letter to Ca chings when the bill became a law. The claim of the Populists that, they will hold the balance of powerin the next congress does not derive any encouragement from recent elections. They have developed no growth in the north, and judging from the election in Arkansas, where they did not carry a single county, they are losing ground in the South. The trouble with the Populist movement is that it is built upon the. sand.—lndianapolis Journal.
