THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10. Mayor Taggart was inducted into oflice on last Thursday. The democratic state committee of this state, will be organized the first of December. The legislative apportionment suit will l»e considered by the supreme court in a few weeks. Governor Matthews goes to Ohio next week to help Candidate Campbell sling hot torpedoes into the republican corruption camp, which ha* been flourishing with a high hand for a few years. Hill of New York, will also speak there. Fort Wayne officials have captured the murderers of Georg'- M. Singer, postmaster at Duufee, Ind. James Cunningham, Charles Yetter ami William Thompson stand charged with thecrime. The former had made a confession, stating that Singer was clubbed to death. Governor Mckini.ey has quit the tariff issue ami began on state financial issues. At present writ ing he is trying to extricate himself from a wholesale lot of bunglesome figures, that seem to have the best of the gentleman. He seems to know as little about state issues as he does about the tariff. Wonder what those loud mouthed criterians think of Mayor Taggart's “wide open" policy, which they predicted for him. You can rest assured that the statutory laws will lie enforced. Besides this, there isn't a saloon man in Indianapolis who wants an official 1 to break the law. True, they may want a law repeal'd, but they won't ask anybody to over step the bounds of any law for their accomodation. Even John Sherman says times are better, and he didn't say the ■ election of a republican congress , made them better, either. If the truth was known the new tariff law is entitled to considerable credit in this direction. The provision for raw materials has stirred the man- , ufacturing industry, besides it gives the consumer cheaper goods. The people of this country will never again submit to a high protective tariff’. They’ve had 'nough. Auditor Brandyberry has tiled with the auditor of state a tabulated statement showing the number of voters in Adamscounty. His report by townships show Union township 270 voters, Root 295, Preble 265, Kirkland 226,j Washington 1342, St. Mary’s 281, Blue Creek 216, Monroe 664,! French 258, Hartford 320, Wabash 717, and Jefferson 263, making a total of 5,147 voters in the county. The auditor of state’s report shows 613,750 white and 13,322 colored voters in the state. Tne total number is 627,072.

The Pkemh reader* have beard many rumbling* from the republican « at Img. the prensut administration l*ing a bond issueii g, extravagant maladministration. You have also been!, pto trading fr in thn* same catnip l«agmany bewildering words of praise for the economic business administration of General HarrixAi. Ihis fact is true if you want to call an administration economic that received in surplus ♦180,000,000, ami in lesw than four years, have plates made, and bonds printed ready for execution, the money to be used in paying the running expenses of the government, ihat is economy with avengeanee. October 31, 1894, Mr. Fred. 8. Caldwell, of Winchester, and a bosom friend of ye pKfxs editor, wrote Charles Feater, the secretary of the treasury under Harrison, and propounded t<» him these questions: 1. While secretary of the treas ury under Mr. Harrison's administration, did you at any time, advise or advocate, publicly or privately, that this government borrow money and issue bonds for the same? 2. Was the state of the treas ury such, or were circumstances such, at any time during said ad ■ ministration, as to cause you to conclude at said time, that it would lie advisable and wise for this government to coiitrav-t a temporary loan and issue bonds covering the same? 3. Did you during said administration, take any steps leading towaids such a loan? 4. Did you within said administration. order prepared or have prepared, plates for printing such bonds! Under date of November 5, the ex secretary answered as follows: Some explanation is necessary to enable me to answer your questions intelligently. In February 1893, gold expoi ts were large. I feared we might reach a point when the gold reserve of $100,000,000 might be encroached upon. I believed then as I do now. that this reserve ought to be maintained. To lie realty in case the emergency came. I talked over with prominent bankers, the methods by which, including rates of interest, gold could be had for bonds, that could be issued for this purpose, under the authority of the resumption act. I found I could get gold for bonds on a three per cent, basis. The resumption act did not authorize the issue of a three per cent. Ismd. but did authorize the issue of tour, four and a half and five jier cent. lannis. For them the plates had been prepared in Mr. Harrison s time, and there was on hand quite a quantity of the bonds, printed ready for execution. About the 20th of March, the senate passed an act as an amendment to an appropriation bill, authorizing the issue of a three per cent. bond. It was no doubt, a better bond for all purposes then desired, than those already authorized, as stated above. I gave an order to commence the preparation of plates, stating that the authority bad not been enacted into law. I did this to have these bonds ready in case the reserve should be encroached upon in my time, and to have them ready for my successor, whom I had advised then to share my views as to the maintainance of the gold reserve. We received from Mr.Cleveland's former administration 1180,000,000, and I turned over to my successor, Mr Carlisle, 125,000,- ! 000. Last week the Fort Wayne Sentinel devoted a column in telling how L. C. Hunter, the treasurer of Allen county, had invented and arranged a systen of book keeping that is superior to any yet in use, and recommends it to the treasurers over the state. The Adams county treasiuer is a farmer by occupation —that is he use to work at it when a kid—yet this very system of keeping his books, making out receipts, etc., has been in use by him for nearly two years, so we advise the Sentinel to spring something new. The new arrangement is a double stub system of receipts which are made out in advance with perfect safety and it matters not whether the party paying pays before or after they become delinquent as the same receipt is used, and thus much valuable time is saved in preparing the delinquent list for the collectors, as no delinquent books are required to lie written. His system enables him at all : times to have a complete check up 'on every department of his office, and his collectors, on the outside as well. Any error made can be ; easily traced to its source and no j false entries or sh< rtages can occur without being quickly detected by ( the treasurer.

We were disposed last week to nominate Mayor Taggart for governor, but since the law has ls-en sprung on us we will recall said nomination. The office of mayor is considered to be a judicial office, and the law says that a judicial officer can uot resign his office to l»e elected to any other but a judicial office. This being true Mayor Taggart will have to stand back and help elect some other good democrat to the governor’s office. The democratic vistory in Indianapolis last week, ha*-' had its effects all over the state. The demo erotic party never was in better condition for a campaign official scramble than right now. This' happy frame of mind and conditions will exist until next year, and will very materially aid in a sue ' cessful victory for the demmies. [ There are n »dissentions withia the ■ party, and will lie none that can not be successfully healed. While th's is true of the democrats, the poor, pitied and forlorn republicans are in a sail plight. Dissention is rampant. Every sardine in the box is trying to collide with every other sardine. There are loud, ■ clamorous demands for harmony, which at present writing can lie dug up in large, gigantic chunks. Its simply awful. The supreme court holds that every township trustee elected last November could have taken office at once by qualifying and tiling his l»ond. H:nl the township trustees then elected so acted they could have proceeded to the election of county superintendents, and the , bill passed by the last legislature changing the time for electing county superintendents, which was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, would have l>een an enthely unnecessary pro feeding. Forty county superintendents who are now serving as democrats would have lieen sue needed by republicans last June, and the township trustees elected as republicans in seventy-five icounties in the state would have increased their terms of office by I nine months, as their successors, under the decision of the supreme court handed down last Friday, will demand office the day after election. Republican causes for the de feat of their hosts at Indianapolis last week are numerous and varied. First and foremost they post the i opposition of Trussler, the republi can candidate for mayor, to Harrison when the latter was a candidate for the presdency. But if they intend to relegate Trussler to the hen-roost for this depredation, theircharity should extend to many others who did the same thing. Secondly they mention the odious nests of the Nicholson law. True it is that there are many features of this law that are decidedly distasteful to those engaged in the liquor business, but it was fully demonstrated that the law was never enforced at the capital city. Especially during the campaign, the saloons there were run on the “wide open” plan, and Trussler catered to the element engaged in this business whenever he had an opportunity. It was votes that defeated Trussler, and it wasn't votes coming from the saloon element that did the work, either. It was the demand for an honest, business administration and a rebuke to the lying calamity asssiimp i tions in these times of peace, plenty 1 and prosperity.

The election Tuesday of Thomas Tag-' irarl to the poaiti >n of mayor of Indianapolia evidence, the rare judgment and discretion of the voters of that city. Perhaps I in all Indiana there is no man inure js,polar than Mr. Tsggart, and his popularity is certainlv deserved. His election means a good, business, common-sense government for Indianapolis, and the L-ader i Congra.ulates both Mr. Taggart and the' capital city.—Marion Leader dem ). “Tammas'’ Taggart has been duly elected mayor of Indianapolis. Mr. Barrie has written a very interesting tale to show how ‘‘Tammas” became a humorist, and , it is fair to say that quite an interesting > story could be published to demonstrate how "Tammas'' became mayor of the capital city of India"*. "Tammas,” it seems, has the gravity characteristic of ail truly great humorists, and in his new capacity of mayor it ia hardly likely that he will laugh at his own little joke which he has played upon his opponents, not excepting his esmteeed fellow-citizen, Mr. Harrison.—Grand Rapids Herald rep.). L One of the republican orators who saw I ■ something beyond the mete local effect of a democratic victory in Indianapolis declared that his party must carry the city or it would be impossible to *,ve the stale. He was not only right in this but might well have gone still farther and shown, as have several leading papers of the country, that the outcome of the municipal contest had a direct and important bearing upon the national struggle in which Gen Harrison is a principal. It was a matter of general concession that the result of the municipal election involved the realization of hi* hopes as a presidential aspirant in 'W, and also foreshadowed success in the state of the party that carried the capital.—Detroit Free Press (dem.). There were, in the present instance, an unusual number of circumstances contributing to republican defeat. In the first place, the republican nominee for mayor was an open bolter in the last campaign. Such old-time republicans as Ktiody fchiel were sighing him. On the other hand, Tom Taggart’s popularity is not to be questioned. He is “one of the boys,” he pushed himself up from a humble station in life, and in some way has gained the! friendship of the colored people, hundreds of whom voted for him yesterday. Then, again, the present city administration at ' Indianapolis has b-enone in which exten- | sive public improvements have been made, and there has been the same sort of a howl which drove Boss Shepherd out of the national capital. These cause* in them-' selves are enough to account for a change j of 2,000 republican votes to the democratic I J column.—Terre Haute Tribune (mug.). I
