BUT IT WAS ANYBODY'S VICTORY
AFTER ALL
A FULL VOTE POLLED AND THE
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
GREATLY REDUCED.
Noli". n| th» lav.
I iicBtlti.v morning opened showery on the city election, with feeble attempts at sunshine now and then, which lasted well up to noon, and those early omens in favor of the democrats wore not altogether misleading as the count diseols od. The democrats worked like Trojans. The republicans. becoming alarmed, niarsl alod their forces and re sorted to their old time tactics that have become history. The democrats went into the tight to reduce the republicans' much boasted 500 majority, and by honest and aggressive work, they did it. It is therefore anybody's victory. True, the republicans elected their ticket but by a greatly reduced majority. The' democrats either polled the strongest vote in the history of a late city election* or else a number of candid antl fairminded republicans split their ticket. Perhaps it was both. Anyway, the democrats are satisfied, and the republicans ought to be. Let the official vote and the notes following tell the rest:

NOTKS OK TH I. DAY.
We will tret 'em next time. We had them running anyway.
The democrats fought a good light. A full and yet sober vote was polled.
It is an oil' year or the resuit would have been decidedly ditTereut. Tho saloons wore all closed, but there were jags to be had nevertheless,
Quite a number were in from the country to see how it was being done. It was a wet morning, but the prohi's weren't in sight when the votes were counted out.
Four years is a good while to wait, but a democrat never gives up nor worries in well doing.
It takes Bige Bayless to scare them up. The vote shows that he has great winning qualities
Democrats never get lel t. They startad out to reduce the republican majority and "by gosh" wo did it.
No objection can be raised against the mail who split his ticket but it is tho fellow who bolts it that should bo gone after.
Let. the word go forth throughout the county that the democrats of Crawfordsville are all in line. Tuesday's work shows it.
Many negroes vvoro cattle as usual. Some of them were small cattle, though, and had to have a little milk before they acted docile.
Capt. Ilerron is not at all disappointed over the vote lie received. But it should have been much larger, and it would have been any other year.
Before the election the republicans were claiming the city by at least 500 majority. So. you see. the democrats have notion.'? to mourn over.
About the biggest man in town was "Simp"' Bell, tho negro shorill for the second ward, lie wanted to "joliticate" as soon as the votes were counted.
Tho democrats of this city are now more democratic than ever. Not one of them will over split his ticket againThe compliment is never returned.
The Journal said last week that "this was a poor year to encourage democracy." Nevertheless, a goodly number of fair minded republicans thought differently.
It was a common remark that uever was such a noble and aggressive light made by tho democrats in the history of Crawfordsville. They had a good ticket and a good cause to tight for.
The Journal eays: "Bandel and Grimes are elected, and the Law and Order League has won another glorious victory."' The latter clause of the fore-
going sentence sounds rather ambiguous to most people. but'we hope itmay he true.
It is anybody's victory. The republicans elected tho ticket, which -wo all expected them to do. Tho democrats polled their full vote and gained "imugh republicans and others to greatly reduce the republican majority. Therefore, wo repeat, it is anybody's victory.
A prominent republican ado tho prophesy on .Monday night that two men on the democratic ticket would bo elected the next day. lie proved to bo a false prophet, but it shows that wo had them guessing. In Tact we had them piite uneasy for a time.
L'P a certain stairway on a certain street, you all know, there passed up not less than 'J.iO men, drawn thither by what particular attraction we know not. It is current belief that thoy wet their guzzles and otherwise refreshed themselves. It will not be news to many.
FOUND AND REWARDED.
Oliailes Meyers, of the 64th New York
Regiment, Receives a Medal for
Deeds of Valor.
Residing a short distance north of the city on a three aero tract of land, around and upon which he has reared all tho environments of a snug little home that he can call his own. is an interesting man His name is Charles Meyers. His history embraces that of citizen, patriot and soldier.
Ho is a German by birth. His language partakes largely of dialect, his brogue being so strong that it is often difficult to make himself under-, stood. But ho possesses a frank, open countenance, and what his tonguo fails to express, tiis honest foat tires portray. 1'or 11 yeais he served in the Gorman army. Coming to this country shortly before tho outbreak or the war of the rebellion, he soon enlisted with tho (54th.
New York regiment and went into tho sei vice. His knowledge of military tactics and natural love for patriotism under whatsoever banner found, soon brought him into prominent notice and into the good graces of his comrades. He served with distinction in every engagement fought. But it was left to that memorable battle field at Gettysburg for hitn to perform especial acts of bravery and heroism that will make his name live in history. Let tho sequel of this brief narrative bear testimony to his deedsof valoron that memorable occasion.
After tho war was over he drifted west and some years after settled at the peaceful little homo where together with his'dovoted wife, the quiet routine of life moves on silent antl uninterrupted.
In the course of time tho State of Now ork voted Mr. Meyers a medal as feeble t: ibute to his loyalty to the (5-1 th rt mmeut and his heroic conduct on tho iield of (i. ttysburg. It required a long and todioi.s search to locate Mr. Meyers that tho lie-del might be forwarded him.w At last Capt. H. II. I'albott received a letter from a member of the regiment with as fair a description of him as tho survivors could remember. It had coiug to tho knowledge of the regiment that Mr. Meyers was in Crawfordsville. and they kindly asked Mr. Talbot to tind the missing soldier, if possible. Al'tor some months of careful inquiry and close watching, the Captain was re. warded by finding his man. Along last summer. Mr. Talliott was wall'ingup Main street when he passed a man best assuming the description in tho letter received, of any one he had yet accosted. He accordingly turned round and approached the stranger, lie was not. long in finding out the man's name, and a few brief points ol Ins nistory as best Mr. Myers could express them in his honest brogue fully satislied Mr Talbo't that lie had at last, found the man so much desired. An army badge worn by Mr. jMevors on'ins coat lapol further confirmed his true identity^ "Dot isli me." quick responded Mr.
Meyers as the letter was read to him. Mr. Talbott immediately wrote on to New York, giving particulars of the discovery. and the medal of honor voted to a heroic and patriotic soldier is now worn by him. lie will never forget tho kindness of Mr. Talbott and must have a hearty hand shako whenever ho meets him. iv
