CRAWFORDSYILLE,'INDIANA, SATURDAY. JUNE 18, 1898.

ltl

ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY.

The Dray mens' Trust.

In getting ready to move THE REVIEW office from its old location, on Bouth Washington street, a few weeks ago, to its preeent quarters, we sent out requests to the various draymen of the city for their lowest figures in transporting our machinery, type, stands, etc., and putting them in position for us. The weight of stuff to t3 hauled was between 25,000 and 35,000 pounds, and a team with three or four men with derricks could do the work easily in two days. In receiving bids for the work, we discovered that the Teamsters' Union is nothing more than a irust, formed to force high prices for their services upon their patrons and to prevent competition from any source, One drayman had the gall to demand $85 for the work, another S80, and stili another S71. Before submitting to such extortion we would have procured men from Indianapolis or Lafayette to do the work, but luckily we found men at home outside the so-termed "Union," who were willing to accept good living wages for their services and not ask three pricep. Sid. .Speed with two derricks and two men, a".d Mike britton with a team and one u,,in did the work for $25, A few other expenses ran the total outlay for moving to 83o—a very groat difference in price from that of the

Union." We understand the "Union" has raised the prices on all commodities to be hauled from the depots from 25 to 35 per cent, and that many business men are kicking at this unexpected advance for this kind of service. What is now needed is ompetition and the

Union" may expect to see it too.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Terminates in a Disgraceful Row—

Efforts to Unseat Chas. E.

Davis.

There was blood on the republican political moon last Saturday and as a result there is a rent in the ranks of the g- o. p. that is certain to defeat it at the polls next Novetnb r. The convention was called to order at eleven o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. armory by Chairman Fry. J. A. Grt ene read the call. Then the fun began by Ed Slavenp, a husky rurahte from Madison township, offering the following resolution:

In tho 12th precinct of Union township, since the selection of the delegation, Charles E. Davis has acted and voted with the democrats, and I so acling and voting iu the common council of the city of Crawfordsvilie has turned over to the control of the democratic party the municipal government of the city, and has threatened to defeat certain republican candidates if nominated by this convention, at the coming election and believing that democrats should not be permitted to uct as delegates in a republican, \e therefore recommend that the place of Siiid CharlesE. Davis in

Paid

delegation

be declared vacant, and that the remaining fcix delegates bo allowed and empowered to cast the seven votes that said precinct is entitled to under the cali of the convention.

W. E. SLAVENS, Chairman.

W. T. FRY, Secretary. The report was received with applause, hisses and groans, and in a moment the convention was in an uproar. Chairman Fry finally restored order and Mr. Davis took the tloor. Ho flatly denied ever having voted with the democrats and claimed to be as good a republican as any man in the hall. A. B. Anderson, of the tirni of Anderson, Bonnell & Williams, then got up and roasted Davis to a rich brown. Davis again came back regardless of the efforts of Fry to squelch him, and said that all And»l'son had said was untrue, that just so long as he had done the dirty work for "do gang" he was a good l'ellow. This was followed by hisses and cries of "traitor," "put him out," etc. Amidst the excitement a vote was called for. The first township.called refused to vote. A delegate then arose and said the proceedings were.most disgraceful and suggested thnt Union township settle her own difficulties. At this juncture Davis a ked the privilege of resigning his seat as a delegate but the Bonnell-Williams crowd insisted on a vote of expulsion. After considerable rangliug Mr. Davis was finally allowed to resign and the convention then adjourned until afte dinner.

r"

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Tho convention re-assembled at 1:30 o'clock. Only a few people were present and they appeared spiritless and in different. All the enthusiasm and animation seemed to have been taken out of them by the idiotic actions of the morning session. W. T. Whittington was made permanent chairman and tried to arouse a little feeling by one of his characteristic speeches, but utterly failed. After passing resolutions (ndorsing McKinley, Landis, Mount and the Dingley bill the convention got down to business.

Alex M. Scott, of Ladoga, was nominated for representative by acclamation.

NOTES.

in Novem-

The ticket will be beaten ber. name eliciting any applauBe being that of Dewey.

Beading people out ot any party is poor politics. -1 The eonvention was a disappoint-

-1

ment to the republicans. Tho attendance was the poorest in years. The enthusiasm was at a low ebb, the only

C. N. Wiiliamb was over from Indianapolis and injected Boine metropolitan airs in the meeting. Perhaps that accounts in a large measure for the frost." 'A

Harvey Wynekoop had the nomination for surveyor in his vest pocket but after the morning fracas he notified his friends not to vote for him as they could not give him the nomination on a silver platter. He read the "hand writing on the wall."

THE REVIEW has now a nicer home than it has ever occupied since its establishment in Crawfordsvilie in August, 1841. Our rooms are larger, whiter, clean and commodious, and our friends in city and country are invited to call up and see us in our new location.

NEFARIOUS BUSINESS.

An Attempt to Bribe a Councilman

By Republican City Bosses.

Just to what extremes the city republican bosses will go aod what nefarious methods they will adopt to secure a point of vanta was practically demonstrated some days ago, when one of their number approached J. C. Hutton with tempting bribe. It was the day previous to the meeting of the city council when the city was redistricted into four warde. The republicans were quick to see that if the prearranged programme was carried through at this meeting, they would practically lose control of tho city, and the official pap would nestle in the democratic trough. They realized that something must be one and that quickly, and in consequence they resorted to a desperate but most despicable scheme. One of their number was delegateo to call on Mr. Hutton, and made him a proposition something like this: That if he would cast his vote to defeat the redistricting ordinance that certain influences would bo brought to bf-ar with the county commissioners and the attorneys for the prosecution in his suit with the county now fon trial by which there would beno appeal taken in the late ruling of the court in which it, held his first settlement with tho board under tho old law was legal. This proposition waB made by a man who had been promised the city attorneyship when Eimore took his seat as Mayor in September. Of course it is not believed they would have made their promise good. It, was a tempting bait, however, involving something like 84,000, but Mr. Hutton very properly turned him down and materially aided in popping the ordinauce.
