. f} ... jD„„ aa \ r ■ -- PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRESS PI BUSHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. J 1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15. Don’t forget our combination | oiler, the Sentinel ami Democratic Press both one year for §1.50. Twenty pages of reading) matter all for the price named is 1 marvelous. Come and see us. There is some talk in adminis trative circles that the Hon. Wil- ! liam L. Wilson, the founder of the i Wilson tariff law, will assume thej responsibilities of secretary of the treasury, and as such become a member of Cleveland's cabinet. Whether or not this is colored | ■with any plausible degree oi truth, | we know not. i . Congressman-elect Jim Eli Watson was t ndered an ovation by his friends at Rushville jester- i daj. Special trains were chartered for the occasion, and people from ) every which way took advantage of the opportunity to see the wonder that dangles Holman’s scalp. It was a sure enough victory for him, but most anybody could have | done the same thing this year.

It iseurrently reported that Jerry Simpsm, the sockless statesman of Kansas, will settle in Indiana after his congressional career ends in March, and that in 1896 the popu list partj- of this state will launch him on their ticket for governor. The large tote polled for this party last week has encouraged their leaders to an extent that they believe they will be the dominant party. So much for the populists. Mv opinion can be briefly stated. The result is due in part to the financial depression which came upon the country soon after tne inauguration of Mr. Cleveland. While the democrats were in noway responsible for this, they were made the scapegoats. It was also in part due to the delay of congress in pas sing the tariff bill. Had the bill become a law ninety days earlier than it did, it is quite probable that the business conditions of the country would have so adjusted themselves that the political result would have been different.—Vice President Stevenson. The new invoice of state officers which byway of information will all be republican, will take charge of their respective offices as follows: Willis S. Blatchley, state geologist, and Simeon J. Thompson, chief of the bureau of statistics, on November 19, inst. William A. Ketcham, attorney-general, and Alexander Hess, clerk of the supreme court, November 22. W. D. Owens, secretary of state, Jan nary 17,1895. Americus C. Dailey, auditor of state, January 25. F. J. Scholtz, treasurer of state, Feb ruary 5. David M. Geeting, superintendent of public instruction, March 15. The "Washington correspondents to many of our daily papers have had more or less to say about the probability that the Hon. A. N. Martin would step out of his congressional shoes into the office of commissioner of pensions. Mr. j Martin has been in congress six years, the last two of which he wasl chairman of the committee on in-1 valid pensions, and in consequence knows the pension business from beginning to ending. While in ccngress he done much valuable work for the needy pensioners, and by them is not known only in his ' own district or his own state but in | many others. If Lochren resigns I no better selection than that of Mr. Martin could be made, and no one I would rejoice more over his appointment than would the Press. The election is now a thing of the past, likewise the caOmity howlers, and the abolish’mn; of the latter will surely be a sing to the business of this country. Their continued prattle for the two years past has had much to do with the financial and business depression that has clouded about us. Now these same fellows, who themselves won't do a cent's worth more business, will change their tune to the reverse, and while their cry was thin as weakened water and unpatriotic, yet their changed tune will be welcome by all classes of people the world over. There is nothing more deplorable than the chronic calamity shrieker, nothing more deplorable to the country, and whose demise will be welcomed from border to border. Let all rejoice.

’ 40,629 Plurality Given Owens Over Myers. A Few Resolutions of Respect Offered Over Our Funeral. Official returns are now in, and after adding, subtracting and dividing, the cyphers won’t hitch with any harmonious degree, so we will just shut our eyes and give them to you as they are and not what we would want them to be. | Revised returns show the following pluralities for the heads of state j tickets : Republican: Colorado, 15,000: i Connecticut, 15,674; Delaware, 1,200; Idaho, 3,000: Illinois, 125,000; | Indiana, 44,000; lowa, 90,000; Kansas, 30,000; Massachusetts, 65,000; Michigan, 90,000; MinneI sota, 50,000; Missouri, 10,000; Montana, 2,500; New Hampshire, 1 1,000; New Jersey, 15,000; New Mexico, 500; New York, 153,838; i North Dakota, 6.000; Ohio, 138,294; Oklahoma, 5,000; Pennsylvania, I 233,378; Rhode Island, 6,000; South Dakota, 18,000; Utah Territory, 12,000; Washington, 16,000; West Virginia, 13,000; Wisconsin,ss,ooo; Wyoming, 2,000. Democratic: Alabama, 30,000; Arkansas, 25,000; California, 2,000; ) Florida, 15,000; Georgia, 30,000; Kentucky, 5,000; Louisiana, 25,000; Maryland, 10,000; Mississippi, 124,000; South Carolina, 20,000; Virginia, 30,000; Texas and Ten nessee. A furious ticket carried North Carolina by 20,000; the popi ulists were victorious in Nebraska I by 2,500, and Nevada gave 1,000 i for the silverite ticket. In Indiana Owens, the republican candidate forsecretary of state, received 40,629 plurality over Myers, the democratic candidate, and this is a fair estimate for the i entire state ticket: The congres- ) sional tickets were also all in favor of the republicans by pluralities ) ranging from 20S for Watson in the I fourth district, to 12,341 for JohnIson in the sixth. In this the i eleventh district Steele’s majorities amounted to 5,786 and Martin’s 1,856, leaving a plurality in favor jof Steele of 3.930, and considering the way in which many other disI tricts were enveloped in the repub lican earthquake, our candidate need not feel any tint of humilia-1 tion at the vote cast in his favor. The legislative branch of our state government was the greatest surprise of all, turning out a vote of seventy-six on joint ballot. The I senate will consist of thirty three republicans and seventeen demo-1 erats, while the house goes them | one better by holdingeighty repub I beans and twenty democrats. The two representatives for Adams, Jay and Blackford are democrats, ■while j Jesse M. La Follette defeated Clin-) ton P. Cole by twenty-nine votes, i Under all existing circumstances we are mighty thankful for the: small favor of the representative members. This will give the republicans entire state and legislative control, and to gain it their promises were thick and heavy, but as they do nothing but prom ise it is safe to say that they will be short-lived and of mighty little benefit to the people who elected them. But we will see what we shall see.

The echos of last week’s election hadn’t got dry until the Indian apolis Journal began its usual whine ab-ut the present gerrymander of the state and recommending a fair apportionment of the state by the republicans. Os course the state will be re-appor-tioned, that is assured, but the fairness in which it will be done is not so sure by any means. For reference to the ability of republicans to make a fair and just ap portionment, one onlj’ has to refer to their record of 1573, when a worse infamy was never perpetrated on any people. The various districts were made into all kinds of kites and shoe strings, extending in all directions at one and the same time. The Journal wants a fair apportionment like that one, nothing else will suit it. The congressional districts as they now stand are as just as they could possibly be made yet the republicans want a fair one. Os course they will change them, but then it’s so amusing to hear them talk about the justice they wa t. The vote on congressman in this district is sunied up in the following majorities: Steele. Martin. Grant county 2.611 Wabash county 1.763 Huntington county 468 Jay county 82u Blackford county 118 Miami county 6 Adams county 1.22 S Wells county 62b 5,786 1,856 Steele's pluralty 3.930
