the Democrats, In their estimates.
On** thing that seem* to be certain at

about nil of the principal Republican

much below that of four year.-* ago As
suming that this Is the case, does it not
seem reasonable to suppose that there
will be a similar falling off in the Re

Mt McKinley very small majorities In
IsPft? In that year Mr McKinley got only
H. plurality In Indiana, an I his plu

There Is going to be a big silent vote
this year —that Is, there r many thou

"Stop him and and m*an<l its return."
"But w-hat if he simply pushed you

"Do you think you would get the um

"Then you never heard of the decision
