The Dublic will rr member tLat
when the press report of tbe lata
lection were stating that McKinley
bad iwept all tbe doubtful central
western States by big majorities,
tLat Chairman Uutler wouM not
concede McKinley' election even
after other campaign managers had
given op. lie stated that he had re
liable information showing that
Bryan had made gaits in States like
Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota,
California and other States big
nongh to giro him tbe electoral
TJtes of (hero States by good major
ities. Eren when the State chair
man in these States conceded that
McKinley had carried them Chair
man Bath r said that he could cot
understand it and insirted that there
was something wrong.
ineoiuciai count ci lue vote in
these States is now coming out and
they throw much light cn the matter.
The vote tabulated in Ohio, Iowa,
Minnesota and Itdiana thow that
there is something not only wrong
but very rotten.
In Indiana the following are the
complete figures a? taken from the
official returni:
Democratic and Peoples, 305,425;
321,328; Prohibitionist, 3.05C; Oold
Standard, 2,140; National, 2.2CS;
Socialist Labor, 323. McKinlej'a
plurality, 18,403; MeKinlev's ma
jority,9,GtO. ToUl vcteeist, 037,040
In 1S02 tho tame totals howed the
following vote : Democratic, 202,740; 67,000, of the increase.
Itepublican, 255,015; Prohibitionist,
13,050; Populist, 22. " Tottl vol,
553,613.
This show an ir create of 83 433
rotea since the last Presidential elec
a ; mi
mod. xnis is an unreasonable in
crease, when we consider that the
last Republican candidate was Mr.
Harrison and tnat ho lives in Indiana
It was claimed in 1802 that Harri
son bronght out a remar kably full
vote. Therefore there was l.ttle stay
at home rote to swell this tremend
ous increased rote. The increased
vote would indicate that the popu
latum of that State had increased a
half million since the last election.
was Jiu.&w cieveianu Trwi
175,401 and Harrison 135,411. In
1803 Kentucky' total vote waa 357,.-
057. In 1800 Kentucky's total vote
was 40G.OOO. Of these Bryan re
ceived about 202,981, McKinley
about 203,410. In Kentucky Bryan
received at least 27,000 more votes
than Cleveland received in 1S92, and
at last 30,000 more votes than the
successful candidate for governor
received in Kentucky in 1805. But
Kentucky's vote increased about 50,
000 in one year. Where did they
all come fromf
Next let ns look at Iowa. In 1892
the combined Cleveland and Weaver
vote in Iowa was 216.000; Harrison's
vote was 219,000; total vote, 435,000.
The total vote this 3 ear was 512,000,
of ubi.-h-Bryan received 223,000
and McKinley 289.000. Thi was
a gain in four years of 77,000 votes
Of this gain Bryan received 7,000
and McKinley 70,000.
This was a gain of 70 votes in
each of the 100 counties of the State
Counting five inhabitants to each
vote, we hare an increase of popu
lation in Iowa in four years of
3,850 to tbe county, a total of 385,
000!
The census of 1890 gives Iowa 1,-
911,000 population. The State cen
sus, taken last year, gives the popu
lation as 2.058,000, a gain in four
years of 147.000.
If the vote this year was honest,
and the census of 1S90 and 1895 cor
rect, then Iowa has gained 238,000
soulsduring the bard times of the past
year, whereas she gained but 147,000
during the four subsequent years!
Could euch a thing as this hap
pen? It is absurd and shows that
there is something rotten in Iowa
also.
Another most remarkable phe
nomena of the Iowa vote is found in
the fact that nine-tenths of the 70,
000 new voters voted for McKinley.
This jhcLomena was also witnessed
in Minnesota, where every one of
the 50,000 newvoters of that State
voted the Republican ticket; and
again in Indiana, which incfeased
its vote 80,000, McKinley receiving
Abstract of votes cost at an election held for Governor, Lieut-Governor, Secretary of State-
Auditor, Treasurer Supenntendent of Public Instruction, Attorney-General and Justices
of the Supreme Court and Judge of the Superior Court for the Fifth District, on the 3rd of

COUNTIES.
For
Governor.
In an interview tbe other day Mr.
Hanna said: Our first poll of Iowa
showed tho Republicans COO in the
minority." In our opinion, the
population of Iowa began to increase
from the date of the discovery of
this condition. If during the past
year of hard times Iowa has had
such a transcendent boom in popu
lation, gaining 233,000 souls, what
possibilities await the State if we
should tvtr again have good times
When tbe returns from other
doubtful Starts in the West and
Northwest sro ready no doubt the
evidence of crookedness will ap
pear. Had it not been for the frauds
and this is unreasonable. Another I in the States mentioned above, it is
ining mac proves tnat ttna increas
ed vote is not straight is that nearly
the whole of it is counted forMcKin
ley. Just think of it, Bryan this
year got 50,000 more votes in Indiana
man uarnson got in xwz. JNow a
man who could gain 50.000 of the
votes that were cast for Hairiaon
in 1892, would certainly get at least
half of the increased vote if it was
not bogus. It is clear that the gold
ring bought up election officers and by all means
stuffed the ballot boxes or made this
increase in some other unlawful way
and counted it all for McKinley.
Now let ns look at Ohio. That
State this year gave 475,000 votes
almost certain that the electoral vote
tf each would today be in the Bryan

it is stated here- that so far as the

permit the Republicans to bring the
pressure of obligation to bear on

Some church newspapers and
some preachers have always been
against the teachings of Christ when
ever it is proposed to apply them to
present condition or too near at
home. Some of them were against
the cause of liberty and humanity
in 1776. They took sides with the
Tories and ridiculed those "who fa
vored Independence as "calamity-
howlers." At that time the Tories and
money changers would pat on the
backs such preachers and ehnrch
newpapers and say "that is the liv

driving the money changers from
the temple, as Christ did, now the
money changers employ preachers
who uphold and defend their swind

every man a "calamity-howler" who

The Washington Post (gtld or
gan) in an artiele on the outlook for
the gold ring to control the next
Senate says:
"Upon the return of Senator Jeter
C. Pritchard, of North Carolina, it
now seems, depends the political
status of the next Senate." ,
Further And in the same artiele
the Post expresses the belief (bated
on information which it claims to
have received) that the patronage of
the McKinley pie counter can t
used to get enough voters to elect
rrucnara. 'lhe Uatjcasian repudi-
ates this charge as far as the Teo-1
pies Paity is concerned. No doubt j
any Populist member of the legisla
ture who would vote for a "sound
money" Senator could get a fat job
from the McKinley pie counter, but
there is not a Populist member who
would sell his vote for this price or
any other price.
The Post is mislead by the wav
it saw Cleveland debauch Congress
with federal patronage. It is coto-
nous mat silver Democrats in Con
gress flopped over and voUd with
the goldbugs m order to g6t the
Cleveland goldbag patronage. The
Peoples Party came into existence
to condemn, and blot out such be
trayals of principle. Therefore the
Post will be disappointed if it ex
pects to see the Populists in the
