THE STATR CONTROL. * Inrohred In tho Election to ’fcke I’laco Next Tuesday. What Democratic or Repnblleaa Victory In the State Mean* to tha Fooplo of Indiana—The Issues Very Clenrly nod Sharply Defined — Good Government Versus llad Goreroinent Is the Direct Isaue. Indiana is at a critical point In her career and her welfare depends very largely upon the result of next Tuesday’s elections. For mauy years after the war the state was under the control of the Republican party, either absolutely or to such an extent that there was no opportunity for reforming Republican abases. Morton or Mortonism ran rife in everything. Extravagance and corruption were everywhere. Thb state’s penal and charitable institutions became a public scandal; rottenness permeated every offloe; legislation was openly sold to corporations and monopolies and favorer! interests; the state debt was piled mountains high, and elections became a roaring farce. So deeply had this corrupt governmental system fastened its roots in the body politic that it was a straggle of years to uproot it. But Democracy fought on undismayed and unconquerable Tmtil the early 80’s when it finally secured control of the state government in all branches and began the work of reform. 'jjjbe task before it was an herculean one. Against it were arrayed the Republican minority with its hordes of corrupt, taxeating hangers on; the contractors with their poeketbooks fattened from the substance of the people; the corporations, grasping for even greater power and fearful that their hold on the throat of the state would bo loosened; the rings, the combines and all tho vicious cliques and clans that had been built up during nearly 20 years of Republican supremacy. The work of reform was at once begun and has gone forward steadily, unceasingly, vigorously ever since. Every Democratic legislature has added a few stones to the edifice of the state’s glory. The management of public institutions has been brought to a point of excellence unsurpassed in any state of the union or any country of the world. The wards of the state, the deaf, the dumb, the insane, the blind and impoverished tire better cared for in Indiana- than anywhere else on earth, and wise Democratic legislation has placed their oare out of partisan control. Elections have been purified and the hand of every man set against the corrupter of the ballot. Under the Australian law every elector of Indiana may cast his ballot for the man of his choice, free from scrutiny and free from any interference on the part of his employer or anyone else; and with a certainty that it will be counted as cast. Under the laws made by Republicans labor in Indiana had been largely deprived of its liberty and placed in a condition of servitude toward its employers verging clfrse upon abject slavery.' Today no state has so many taws distinctly favorable to tho workingman. Labor day is a holiday; union labels are protected from forgery; eight hours is a legal day’s work; claims for wages are a lieu upon the product of labor; wages must be paid in cash and “plnekme” stores are abolished; mine owners must provide adequate protection for the lives and limbs of their miners; no employer ' may blacklist an ex-employe and the employer must pay for injjarit s sustained by the employe who incurs them through the negligence of his employer. This condition has been reached only ' after the bittjteest resistance by the Republicans andrlieir steadfast sillies, the great corporations. Every law in behalf of labor was opposed by Republicans. Triumphant Democracy found the schools of the state clutched in the grasp of one of the most avaricious combinations of unscrupulous greed ever formed for the purpose of robbing the pockets of the people —the school book ring. This ring had as its agents trustees, county superintendents and even Republican state officials. But it went down, after a hard battle, before the assaults of Democracy and the tax which it levied upon education in Indiana has been removed. Under Republican legislation tho taxes had been made heaviest on farmers and people of small means, while the great corporations, the railroads and banks and other heavy contributors to Republican campaign funds escaped with almost no burden of taxation. A Democratic legislature changed all this. It enacted a law which increased the assessment on railroad property alone $95,000,000. The railroads and Count Pullman fought this law to the highest court, where if has been finally upheld. The only way by which the railroads and other corporations can escape the provisions of this law is by having it repealed. The' Republicans have promised to repeal this law if they get the power. One good effect of this law has been to enable the state within the past year to pay off nearly $1,000,000 of the state debt, whioh was created by Republican extravagance. The Democracy of Indiana, in the campaign now just drawing to a close, is pledged to these things : The upholding and continuance of all the wise laws which it has placed on the statute books. Vigorous warfare against the false and pernioious principle of tariff protection. Steadfast opposition to monopoly and corporation rule. to trusts and combines. Continual advocacy of the principle of electing United States senators by popular vote. Support to the proposed constitutional amendment requiring oongress to meet immediately after its election. Undying hostility to every movement that, like the Amorioan Protective Aswould deny any privilege of citizenship to any parkin because ol his religious belief. The absolute maintenance of law and order at all times. Unwavering fidelity to the interests of the workingman, whose steadfast champion it has over been. Advocaoy-of laws to keep out vicious and pauper immigrants, and to prevent the importation of alien contract labor. - A system of arbitration for the settle-

jmd labor™** dispateg between The restoration of silver to U» former place as tho equal of gold in Am oifirenqy j of thcinatlon. . ] Bountiful pensions for veteran* eMhe war. A state homo for disabled veterans and their families. Antagonism to all sumptuary legislation. • And all these things the Republican party opuses. Tha question for the Indiana voter to decide this year is a simple one. It is merely whether the state shall continue to hold its high place among the states q! the Union, shall continue to progress or shall go back 30 years to the days of. corruption, bulldozing, intimidation, fraud, extravagance and corporate control of everything. PINKERTON TAKES A HAND. Anxious to A|t»ln Invade Indiana With HU Arm y of Thugs. The fact has just come to light that the Pinkerton detective agency is taking an unusual amount of interest in Indiana politics jnst at this stage of the game. The information comes from a j most reliable sonree that this organiza-j tion has promised to gladden old Jack j Gowdy’s heart with a very healthy contribution to the Republican corruption j ftmd. Indiana has for many years been j one of the greatest manufacturing states j in the Union. It suffered, of course, like all other states during the period that the iniquitous McKinloy laws disgraced the statute books, but since the day this vicious measure was wiped out of existence it has made gigantic strides in the industrial world, ind under the benign influence of the wise legislation that succeeded the product of the Ohio statesman’s brain it promises to stand in the front ranks of the great manufacturing states of the country. With its apparently inexhaustible supply of natural gas, and crossed and recrossed as it is by Jiues of iron highways, its future is indeed bright. It is in the important manufacturing and iudustrial states of the Union that' the Pinkerton detective agency derives its greatest revenue. For many years it found in Indiana a most fruitful field. In all states whose citizens are largely devoted to industrial pursuits labor troubles are naturally of frequent occurrence. Indiana never has and probably never will be any exception to the rules. Labor troubles are, in the language of one of Dicken’s characters,! “wittles and drink” to the ghouls and i thugs who are on the payroll of the j Pinkerton agency. These social out- j casts are nearly all acquainted with the) inside of state prisons throughout the i country. Too indolent to work, they earn a precarious living by shooting down honest lalHiring men who dare to revolt against the oppression and cruelty ol greedy and overreaching corporations. When the toilers asked for peaceful ar bitratiou the response that met their request was a couple of carloads of these engaging ruffians, armed with Winchester rifles. These irresponsible scoundrels had instructions to shoot to kill, and they carried out these instructions on the slightest provocation. One of the first acts of the Democratic party when it secured absolute control of both branches of the general assembly was to pass a law effectually barring , Piukertpn detectives out" of the state. This is the act; it will be remembered, that inquires that any persou serving a? a special police officer, deputy sheriff, constable, etc., shall have resided in the state at least one year continuously proceeding his appointment as such peace officer. Tho penalty of a violation of this act; js a long term of imprisonment in the penitentiary. Thus the Pinkertons were cut off from a very heavy source of revenue, and they are willing to give up ’“good and strong” to have their bars thrown down again. In consideration of their contribution to the corruption fund the Republican managers are willing to give them a pledge that they shall have a clear field for operations should the party carry the next general assembly. Workingmen who remember the Homestead troubles in the summer ol 1892, in which even womeu and children lost their lives at flic hands of Pinkerton satellites, will hardly give their suffrage.to a party that if it had the power would bring that same state of affairs abotff in Indiana. KETCHAM'S SOLDIER RECORD. He Served Six Months Ably In the Commissary Department. W. A. Ketcham, the-Republican candidate for attorney general, has a “soldier record,” but be is not proud of it. He enlisted as lieutenant of Company E, One Hundred and Thirteenth Indiana, Dec. 19, 1864, after the war had been in progress nearly four years, and was mustered out at Louisville July 12,1865. He was promoted to the captaincy of Company I, 113th Indiana Jan. 1, 1865. The 113th was a fighting regiment, but Ketcham took no part in any of its battles. He was in the commissary department during hi§ entire term of “service.” When the soldiers throughout the state were endeavoring to secure the passage of the Morrill bill which provided for service pensions Ketcham denounced the measure in the most bitter terms and declared that the men who were urging its enactment were “pestilent demagogues.” He had been named as tho delegate of the department of G. A. R. for the state of Indiana to the national encampment at Boston. His own post, the George H. Thomas, passed resolutions censuring him and requesting him to resign and allow some soldier who was not a traitor to their cause to act as delegate in his stead. This Ketcham refused to do, and sent a long letter to the post heaping inore insults upon the heads of the soldiers. It is not likely that many of the veterans who took active part in the various campaigns of the war of the rebellion will give this man Ketcham their support. Shauklln on tho A. P. A. We are living in the most enlightened age which the world has known, an age when proscription on account of religions or political opinion is as much of an anachronism as a revival of Greek mythology would be.—J. G. Shanklin at Decatur. , L Stfai Wi»nt No Nlorw of It. The Indianapolis Journal makes the brilliant pointer that the reason wheat is 60 cheap is tho people are too poor to buy it. If that is the condition of the people after 30 years of protection the people want no more of it.—Bluffton Banner.

jis m HI Bin i State Democracy’s Declaration Received With Incredulity. STABBING HIM SECRETLY. The Reform Organisation I. Suspected of Working That Finn, but Hill Men Remain Confident—Betting Shows No Activity—Politic*! Osnly From Different Localities. New York, Oct. 81. — The declaration of William R. Grace that the State Democracy organization is supporting David B. Hill and is not responsible for any Wheeler posters is reoeived with incredulity by many, who still insist that secretly that faction is in favor of Hill’s defeat and rolling np as htrge a vote as possible for Wheeler. The ad- ! herents expressed much*gratification at i the number and character of the Cooper I union meeting and are confident that j the Democratic reform ticket will make • a good showing on election day. Many ! anti-Hill Democrats will, it is generally i believed, vote straight for Mortou, taking the ground, as one of them remarked today, that a vote for Wheeler will only lie half a vote against Hill, and that the Wheeler votes are intended to aid Morton anyway. The Hill men are as confident as ever, referring with special satisfaction to the personal fight their candidate is making and to the enthusiasm with which he is being received by his supporters. Most of them, however, do no seek to conceal their disappointment or anger that his candidacy has not received open encouragement from the national administration. The Republicans abate none of j their claims and insist that with the ’ general Republican tendency this year j and the Democratic defection from Hill the latter will be snowed under. But Little Betting. There has been but little betting so far in the campaign, but the reports of wagers at the Stock Exchange and elsewhere show odds on Morton not unfrei qnently of 2 to 1. Smaller odds are i given on Strong against Grant, the per- | section of the Tammany organization j throughout the eitvgnaking the support- ! ers of the committee of 70 rather caui tious about risking their money, how- | over much they anticipate a great autiTanunauy uprising. SOUTH DAKOTA SENSATION. Catholic B'sliop Irgei the Pnpport of Republicans For the Legislature. Sioux Falks, Oct. 31. —A sensation ; was sprung in* South Dakota political circles when it was learned that Bishop Marty, the Cathuiic bishop of South Dakota, had sent out letters to the priests of the state urging them to asp their influence for the re-election of Senator Pettigrew. On the letters are written in typewriting the list of. th<\R publican legislative candidate- and underneath in pencil’is this: ‘‘‘Plaice use your influence for the election of the above najued candidates, to the end that Pettigrew may be sent back to the senate.” The bishop in an interview ad-, mits that he wrote’the letters. . Strofii* Showing: Himself. New York, Oct. 31.—The fact that Colonel Strong made brief speeches at a i min her of meetings last evening in the downtown East Side district is regarded favor by the practical politicians who are allied with the committee of 70, as they think it will have a good effect on a class of voters who always wish to'see their candidate and know something of his personality. Repudiates the Bolter*. Omaha, Oct. 31.—Chairman Smythe of the Democratic state committee has issued an address to the party declaring the element known as the administration wing, which bolted the state convention, is using every effort to elect the Republican state ticket. He calls upon all loyal Denioer,its to repudiate the bolters. The bolters declare they ar& the straight Democrats. QUESTIONS FOR GOULD. He inn Probably Tell Why He Should —Not lie Heavily Pined. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 31. —The sheriff of Miller county has served notice on George J. Gould, president of the Missouri Pacific, for appearance in the Miller county circuit court to plead to two separate suits instituted by the minority bondholders of the Springfield, Warsaw and Sedalia Railway company, aggregating about $250,000. Mr. Gould was enjoying a hunting expedition near Eldon. He was also cited to appear and show cause, if any, why he should not be fined SIOO per day from April 7, 1891, for acting as an officer of the road in question and then officer of the Missouri Pacific at the same time, in violation of the constitution and bylaws of the state. SPEEDY JOHNSON. He* Brins?* the .Unpaced Mile Bicycle Record Down to 1:57 4-5. Buffalo, Oct. 31.—1 tis claimed that John S. Johnsoii brought the “bike” record last evening for the mile unpaeed , down to 1:57 4-5. This plows a regular, furrow in the 2:07 1-5 which Sanger set for the mark and which Johnson has beaten by uearly 10 seconds. He rode in tui opposite direction to the one he took when ho is said to have made a paced mile in 1:35 2-5. The course is, in fact, very nearly level and fast time under like conditions have been made during the past week in both directions. Louisiana Lottery Profits. New York, Oot. Sl.—The World this morning says: John Morris, the lottery king; Charles H. Murray of New York and Zaeli Simmons of Kentucky, who formed the firm of Murray & Co., to whom the Louisiana Lottery company was farmed out for 28 years, have just been sued by Harry F. Watson for a share of the profits, thought to amount to $500,000. Indication*. Indiana and Ohio —Fair; slightly pooler.
