..... TEKIIK HATTE Express: The Montgomery county Democratic convention adopted a resolution constituting every

.10

SATURDAY, APRIL!), 1892.

WE do not believe Mr. Courtney was a party to it, but we do believe that somebody stuffed that ballot for Mayor Tuesday night.

THE first free trade measure—the Springer free wool bill—will be put through the House this week, but there is not the remotest probability of its getting through the Senate.

THE Democratic orators are telling the mannfacturers of New England that the free-wool bill is calculated to make wool cheaper and out West they are telling the farmers that it is designed to make wool higher.

Gus MAYEK will fight G. W. L. Brown, candidate for the council in the Second Ward to the bitter end. Gus complains that G. W. I ', bought whisk}' of him on Sunday and then went before the grand jury and had him indieted.

IT is said that Frank Wren, the Irish candidate for Recorder, will surelv be nominated over Milt MeKeee by the Democrats in order to pacify the Irishmen who are disgusted with machine politics. Milt had been promised the nomination and will feel real bad if he don't get it.

THE Democrats over in our neighboring county of Montgomery are not altogether at peace with themselves and the rest of mankind. The attempt to retire the Review has raised a vigorous kick all along tho line.—Frankfort Crescent, Dent.

As Byron would say in Childe Harold, "War, war, is 6till the cry, 'war even to the knife!'" Our Ragged Reuben and Swallowtail friends seem to be acting in the belief tliat "War its thousands slays, peace its ten thousands," therefore war is to be chosen rather ban peace.

THE House still keeps up the farce of holding one evening session each week to consider private pension bille, but a quorum iB never present and the point of "no quorum" is invariably raado by some Democrat, so that nothing is ever done at those sessions. At the last one Representative Hemphill, of South Carolina, unmercifully scored his party for what he called "child's play," in holding these sessions, and pretending to do what it had no idea of doing.

THE assessors of this county appear to have it in for sheep. The rate of assessment agreed upon is §5 per head. While there may bo a good many blooded sheep in the county, yet if all tho ilock.3 were marketed to-day thev would not average 8-1. Between the proposed free wool bill in Congress, bringing the farmt-rs in competitoin with the wools of South America and Australia when sheep is worth 25 cents a head, and tax assessor, the Montgomery county Hockmaster receives poor encouragement to continue in the business.

Democrat in the county a delegate to the congressional nominating convention. The resolution called upon all of them to attend tho convention, and use all honorable means to secure the renomiuat'.on of Brookshire. The Montgomery county Democrats must have a realizing sense of the all-powerful iniluence of the Democratic bosses of Vigo county, who downed the Brookshire delegates in this county.

BAI/HMOKE has two charitable institutions both kept up by private donations. One of them is the Home for Confederate Veterans and the other is the Home for Union Veterans. The other day the Maryland Legislature incorporated an item in the general appropriation bill of S7,500 for the benefit of the Confederate Home. When the bill reached the Senate one patriotic Senator moved an amendment of a email amount for the Union Veterans Home, saving that he did not wish to draw sectional lines, but he was patriotic and, as the State had consented to an appropriation for the Confederate Home, he thought it right to invest a small amount for the veterans who fought for their country. The Democrats did not see it in the same light. The amendment was defeated overwhelmingly, and the Democrats passed without murmuring, the $7,500 to house the men who fought against their country. This will be a good Presidential campaign document in the South, no doubt, but how will the Northern Democrats like it?

RESULT OF THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

"Boodle" Aldermen Retired In Chicago—. The l»uy at tlio I'olls lu Wlsconhin, XehraNkn, Illinois and

Other States.

IN ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, April 6.—The aldermanic and town elections passed off quietly Tuesday under the Australian ballot law. The vote was the heaviest ever cast at a municipal election. At a. m. the returns are practically all in. The latest returns indicate that the new city council will stand Republicans, 83 democrats, 32 independent democrats, 8.

A number of aldermen whose names have been unpleasantly connected with the boodle charges recently investigated by the grand jury were retired, among them being Alderman Cullerton, who for twenty years has been the leader of the council. Alderman Powers was the only member of the alleged boodle gang who secured a reelection.

The north and south towns went democratic, while the republicans retain control of the west town oflices.

Municipal elections were held throughout the state, the Australian ballot system being successfully introduced in mnnv places. The issues were purelv local.

At Galva, Elgin, Monmouth, Evanston, Hillsboro, Aurora and Vandalia a number of women presented themselves at the polls and cast their ballots for school trustees.

Republicans were successful in Elgin. Monmouth, Champaign, Aurora, Mattoon, Clinton, Waukegan. Warren, Belvedere, Cerro Gordo. Montieello, Casey, Quiney, Macomb, Tuscola, Newman, Springfield, Koekford, Decatur, Vandalia, l'aris ami Rock Island.

The democrats had the best of the election in Ottawa, Rochelle, Dwight, Freeport, 1'ittslield, Mount Vernon, Hillsboro. Xapiorville, Areola, Bourbon, Boudre, Salem.

\Viseonsin.

M[.WAt'i\i:i April (.—Town elections were held Tuesday throughout the state. Where politics entered into the contest gains were about equally divided between thG two parties. In most places the issues were only of local significance.

Complete returns from the city had not been received up to 2 a. in., seven precincts being still missing. Estimating on the basis of the returns received from eighty-two precincts the democrats carry the city by :i,000, showing a republican gain of ,000 as compared with the election of two years ago.

At this hour the indications are that the common council will be a tie, although a contest, which is to be made in the Fourth ward, may result in the council being republican.

Returns from the state outside of Milwaukee also show heavy republican gains as compared with the vote of two years ago. The general election through the state was only on an associate justice of the supreme court asd .Judge Winslow had no opposition, but in nearly all cities and villages and towns there were local oflieers chosen, in most instances with party lines strongly drawn.

The republicans carried Ilavwa'd, Delavan. Waupaca, Whitewater. Hayfield. Waupun, Columbus, Mineral Point, Chippewa Falls, Whitehall, Ashland. Cediirbnrg, Merrill, Clintonville, lsenosha, Black River Falls, Baraboo. Waukesha, Janesville, lieloit and Racine.

The democrats carried the towns of Appleton. Beaver Dam, Menaslia, Berlin. Marinette, Manitowoc, Antigo, Stevens Point, Fond du Lac, Oconto, Madison. Monroe, Prairie du Chien, I Eau Claire, Xcenah, Marshfield, Water-1 town and Green Bay.

The entire people's ticket was elected at Hudson. Michigan.

LAXSIXG, Mich., April 0.—Municipal elections were held throughout the state Monday.

The republicans were vietoiious in Decatur, Benton Harbor, St. Joseph. Marshall. Ishpcming. Port Huron. Coldwater, Cheboygan. Saginaw, Hillsdale, Ionia, Ludington, Muskegon. Ivalama-| zoo, Flint, Grand Rapids and Big Rap-1 ids.

The democrats won in Mount Clements, St. Ignaee and Manistee, Adrian, I Negaunee, Dowagiac. Monroe. Bav City, Lake Linden, Sturgis. Hastings

SEDAI.IA, MO., April 0.— Tuesday's election resulted in the choice of the entire democratic ticket. a

foi

KANSAS CITY. Mo., April 0.— At mid-J night the returns indicate that the demoerats have elected the entire city ticket by majorities ranging from 100 to 1,200.

ST. JOSEPH, MO., April 0.—The republicans elected their entire general ticket at Tuesday's election by majorities ranging from 200 to 300.

Light Vote In Kanimq.

TOI'EKA, Kan., April 0.—Elections were held in cities of the first and second class in Kansas for alderman and members of the school board. Party lines were drawn in very few instances and little interest was manifested. Many women who for years demanded the right to vote in municipal elections have lost all interest and were not at the polls. There was little to cause them to turn out, as there was no mayoralty contest in the larger cities. In none of the wards in the city did the ladies stand at or near the polls. Those who voted were married women, a-nd they came to the polling places with their husbands. At each polling place were two stalwart policemen, who kept the crowd 50 feet from the polls. A few of the aristocratic ladies came in their carriages. Out of a registration of over 000 women in

Topeka, less than 200 voted. The novelty of the tliintr is wearing off, and many women who heretofore demanded the ballot will not now use it. Reports from the other cities in the state show a very light female vote.

The democrats have elected delegates in fifty of the 100 counties of Kansas to the state convention which selects delegates to the national convention. The majority of these delegates were instructed for Cleveland and the state convention will be unaninfous for the ex-president. Should his nomination not be possible the delegation will be for a western man.

THE WOMEN VOTE.

BT.OOMINGTON, 111., April 5.—Twelve hundred enthusiastic women cast votes at the school board election held here Monday, the first election in this city in which women ever participated. The total vote cast was 5,500 or twice as large as any previous vote at a similar election.

The turnout of the women was a gigantic surprise. Rain was falling in torrents when the polls opened at S, but soon thereafter the women began to arrive. Miss Mary Ward, a popular teacher, was the first woman to cast a ballot. During the afternoon, in the long lines of voters reaching from Wie polls half way around the block, there were ten women to one ni: n. The ladies were treated with the utmost courtcsy, respect and condescension, and not a cross or offensive word was heard.

At this hour it is generally believed that Messrs. Quackenhush and Heath are elected, defeating Messrs. Thomas and Green. The former two are understood to favor the discontinuance of female rule in the public schools and the choice of a man for superintendent in place of Miss Sarah E. Raymond, who has been superintendent for eighteen years, and the selection of men for principals of some of the ward schools. The women voted largely against the continuance of woman's rule in the schools.

UojH'soo for Limiso.

GKNESEO, 111., April At the city election here Monday II. L. Kiner was elected mayor on the -iceu.se ticket, receiving a majority of 51 votes over the prohibition candidate, II. R. Ott. The entire license ticket was elected.

In Michigan.

LANSING, Mich., April 5.—The democrats met with a defeat Monday, electing only citjr clerk and one alderman by greatly reduced pluralities as compared with last year. The republicans gain the mayor, treasurer, four aldermen and two constables. Last year's democratic plurality of 338 for mayor was wiped out and Arthur O. Bement (rep.) was elected by a plurality of 2S. The latter will have the casting vote in the council, which is a tie.

Battle Creek elected the entire republican city ticket. Ishpemmg republicans elected their candidate for mayor, while the democrats were successful in Negaunee, and the citizen's candidate won at Iron Mountain. S. W. Vance (rep.), for circuit judge, was probaly elected in St. Clair county. The republicans carried Kalamazoo, Marquette, Grand Rapids and Muskegon.

Ill lou:i.

Dies MOINES, la., April 5.—The cityelection occurred Monday and everything passed off quietly. The indications at this writing are that Lane (rep.) will be elected mayor by about 000 over Hill (dem.) Lane is an ardent prohibitionist and will enforce the law. The entire republican ticket is probably elected.

KEOKUK, la., April 5.-—At the municipal election here Monday the democrats elected the assessor and three aldermen. while the republicans elected three aldermen. This makes the council a tie politically, with a democratic mayor.

Republicans AVin at KvjiiimvH!». EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 5. —In the city election the republicans elected every officer on the ticket.

In Ohio.

CLEVELAND, 0., April 5.—The election here Monday was for a director of education, seven members of the school council, two justices of the peace and ten members of the city council. At midnight, with but 25 of the 130 precincts to hear from, the republican plurality has reached 1,100. audit will probably go higher than that. This is a big republican gain over last fall, when McKinley lost the city, but a loss from last spring, when the republicans had nearly 3.000 plurality.

At. Akron the republicans elect the mayor and a majority of the council and board of education by the largest! majority in six years. I

At Findlay the republicans elect the mayor and make a clean sweep of the1 council.

At Painesville the republican ticket was defeated by a citizens'ticket composed of two republicans and one .democrat.

CINCINNATI, April 5.—F. W. Moore (rep.) was elected judge of the superior court by 4,81)0 majority over Lowry ackson(dem.). The republicans elected ten out of fifteen members to the board of legislation and eleven out of fifteen to the board of education. The Sixth ward, for the first time in its history, elected republicans for both of its ward oflices.

Not Ready for Fusion.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 6.—Chairman Hall, of the prohibition state central committee, in an address to the party says it is the unanimous decision of the committee that the time has not yet arrived for the prohibitionists to unite forces with the people's party in Indiana. The address adds, however, that it would be well for the members of both parties to encourage and help each other in getting good men and women out of the old corrupt political parties.

indluna Cumberland Presbytery., VINCENNES, Ind., April 6.—The Indiana presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian church is in session here with 200 ministers from various parts of the country in attendance. Rev. J. H. Miller, of St. Louis, secretary of missions, addressed the synod on Presbyterian work. The presbytery will be in session five days.

l'or Hotter Nominations.

INDTANAPOUS, Ind., April 0.--Lead-ing democrats of the state have been in communication with members of the state central committee in the interest of better nominations for judicial positions, and it is now highly probable that the order of making nominations will be reversed in the coming state convention. Heretofore the judicial officers have been left until the last, when many of the delegates have left the convention, and when the interest in the work has begun to flag. While the result has not always been bad nominations, members of the committee say that better nominations would often have been made if the ollices had come up earlier in the convention. The best reason assigned for making the change is that the delegates will remain until what are known as the political ollices are filled, but they cannot be held until the close of the convention if the judicial offices are left until the last. The plan proposed is to nominate governor and lieutenant governor, then the judges of the supreme court, judges of the appellate court, reporter of the supreme court, attorney general, and finally fill what are known as political oflices, the aspirants for which always fill the conventions.

Tnrcudhirics on Trial.

PETEKSHUIIO, Ind., April 6.—The case against James C. Lavelle, Mike Lavelle and Aaron B. Ifawes, of Washington, charged with burning the Daviess county courthouse and destroying public records in October last, which was venued to this county and continued from the last term of the circuit court, was called up Tuesday. Judge Welborn was on the bench. The report of the expert examination of La voile's books revealed a shortage of 818,403. Basil Ledgerwood and Samuel Harbin came from the Indiana state prison south as state witnesses, 'lhey are the men whom Lavelle and IIawes are said to have hired to fire the courthouse and public records and who are now serving seventeen years' sentences for the crime.

Uoosri't. Want lo lie (Jnvenior. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 0.—The report having been reviued that Minister Porter would certainly be the republican candidate for governor, Mr. Porter has issued the following: "I have not said or intimated to any person that it was my purpose to enter the contest for the republican gubernatorial nomination. 1 am in no sense a candidate for the otlice of governor." Regarding his return to Italy he said he had not reev ed any official instructions from the secretary of state.

Veterans at Fort Wayne.

Four WAYNE, Ind.. April 7.—The annual convention of the Indiana department of the Grand Army of the Republic commenced Wednesday morning in Princess rink. Commander Mayor Zollinger delivered the welcoming address, and Department Commander Walker, of Indianapolis, made his annual report, followed by an address. The department of this state now lias 28,"87 members, and there are remaining 25,000 honorably discharged union soldiers in Iudiana not members of the order. A monster parade took place between 1 and 3 o'clock. In the evening a camp-fire, attended by over 4,000, was held. To-day the election of officers will take place. The contest for department commander has narrowed down to Joseph B. Cheadle, ol Frankfort, and 11. M. Caylor, of Noblcsville. The next encampment will be held at F.vausville.
