Legislature Since

clected from the county, it is absolutely true that It is the first time that a solid delegation has represented the county there. Vigo has always been looked upon as a Republican county, and in fact in the majority of elections since 1808 it has given a plurality for the Republican ticket In presidential and state elections, but since that time it has elected Democratic legislators more times than it has elected Republicans, as the following table giving the names of the representatives from this county will show: 18IMH871- I.

The First Solid Republican Delegation Vigo County has had Since 1880—List of Those Who Have Represented Vigo County in the

1868—Vigo's

When Jacob D. Early takes his seat as state senator at the meeting of the legislature in January, and W. H. Berry and Homer Morgan become representatives, it will be the first time since 1880 that the county of Vigo has been represented in the legislature by a solid delegation of Republicans. In 1888 F. V. Bichowsky was elected senator from this county, but he was unseated by the Democratic senate and the place given to Andrew Grimes, who served out the four years. So, although it is not the first time since 1880 4thata solid Republican delegation has been

Representatives to use Their

one ef the representatives from Yigo, and had the honor conferred upon him and on his county, of being elected Speaker. It was probably the only time that a case similar to this has occurred, the election of two successive speakers of the House from the same county, and from opposing political parties.

Vigo county will be well represented in the next legislature. In the Senate Jacob D. Early is destined to make his mark, and take a prominent part in the deliberations of that body. He is well equipped, for this position, perhaps better equipped than any man the Republicans could have named. He is a fluent public speaker, is thoroughly familiar with parliamentary laws and practices, and has a wide acquaintance with the leading men of the state of all parties. Such qualifications as these are bound to make him prominent in the deliberations of the state senate during the next two sessions of the legislature, and with his unquestioned ability he will no doubt attain considerable prominence among the leaders of the younger generation of politicians.

Wm. H. Berry has served one term as a member of the state legislature, and he goes there again familiar with the ways and means that enable legislators to secure what they want when it comes to asking for legislation for their own communities. C. H. Morgan has had no experience as a legislator, but he has a wide knowledge of men and it will enable him to place himself in touch with the men who introduce bills, push them through the devious legislative channels that they are sometimes compelled to follow before they are placed on the statute books as laws, and this knowledge will be greatly to his advantage.

Taking it, all in all, it is safe to say that Terre Haute and Vigo county have never had more able representatives in the halls of the state legislature than they will have during the coming session of the state legislature in January next, and Vigo county people, irrespective of politics) will expect to hear a good report from them.

The chief aim the Vigo county people will have there, and it overshadows all

others, will be to secure the election to the United States Senate, as successor to Daniel W. Voorhees, that prince of Terre Hauteans, William R. McKeen. Those who have not been on the inside of the senatorial fight in this state, and who have favored Mr. McKeen, have feared that the long campaign that Charles W. Fairbanks has made for this honor would place him so far in the lead that Mr. McKeen would not be able to displace him in the finish of the race, before the legislature. But while they have thought thus Mr. McKeen's friends ami managers have been laboring ni«ht and day. Every false move of the Fairbanks managers-and they have been numerous and costly—has been taken advantage of in the shrewdest and most effective manner. The Fairbanks cause has been weakened by the efforts of himself and his managers to create the im-

politically since they pression that he is the McKinley leader in this state, and that, no official plums wil^ b:- given out unless they have the sanction of the would be manager.* This movement tegan even In fore Mr. Fairbanks had him-

.luugt'

Terre Haute was once quite prominent In the legislature. When the legislature met in Istl Hon, William Mack was electoii Speaker of the House, a position which he filled with credit- When tfee following legislature met in 1*73, Hon. Wm. K. Kaward. loeg *Uk*dec****!, was

If elects! temporary chairman of the St. Louis convention. It has been pursued continuously ever since the convention, and now that the election is over, it is being worked even more vigorously. But like all similar movements it has reacted. It isn't doing Mr. Fairbanks as much good as he fondly hoped, and now he doubtless wishes that he hadn't done it. We've had political bosses in Indiana, but not exactly of that character or caliber. They have that kind of a machine in Illinois, and a man who wants to get an office over there must get the consent of the powers that be. or take a back seat. It doesn't go here as Mr. Fairbanks will doubtless find out to his sorrow. The claims made by the

Fairbanks managers are boundless, bat when the caucus meets next month they are likely to be treated to a series of surprise. The votes of Mr. McKeen's friends ami those who are in favor of other candidates than Fairbanks outnumber thorn of Mr. Fairbanks, and as they favor the other candidates* because they don't want Mr. Fairbanks, they are not likely to vote for him when they discover that their own particular candidates are not "in the swim." The combined opposition to Fairbanks exceeds in votes the strength coooeded to him, and in the final roand-up they will go to the strongest candidate against him. That candidate is W. R. McKeen, Unless, therefore, there is some unexpected development In the condition of affair* during the next few week*, the «f January, I8B7. will doobtleai

witness the election of one Terre Hautean as United States Senator to succeed another distinguished Terre Hautean who retires from that position.

One thing is certain, that .if the people themselves were to choose the Senator, "Riley" McKeen would be their choice. And what is the duty of the legislature but to carry out the wishes of the people? If the people want Mr. McKeen, and not Mr. Fairbanks, for Senator, it is clear that

their representatives should give them Mr. McKeen, whose prominence in the interests of the people of this state made him a distinguished citizen long before Mr. Fairbanks had set bis foot on Hoosier soil. The masses of the people are to be consulted in the selection of a United States Senator, and if the legislature does this it will not be difficult to name the next Senator from Indiana. The first letter of his name will be William R. McKeen, of Terre Haute.
