republicans to leave the city, as their business called them, and the repub'ican managers decided to fight the battle through without them. The result is a magnificent majority, that Greencastle can now hold up to the out townships as a mark to fight for in the fall elections. A gain of one hundred and seventeen votes is a remarkable achievement, even for this year of republican gains, and the republicans of Greencastle may well congratulate themselves over the result. The sole aim of democracy was to defeat Mr. Abrams in the first ward and to hold down the

majority over town,

signally in both cases, and their chagrin is great. Republicans all over the county should take courage at the outcome, organize and work for results. They can get

them.

The Indianapolis Journal perhaps knows its business in Green castle but we fear it does not. Its correspondence from here is noto riously bad and unreliable and the complaints that have arisen from time to time go unheeded at headquarters, all of which is detrimental to that excellent paper’s interests here. In today's telegraphic dispatches on election matters the fol lowing squib gives the news to the

state from Greencastle: rSCAI. KK.rl'Ht.lCAN MAJORITY.

today by the usual majority.

Major Birch ran like a quarterhorse, pulling off the handsome majority of 289. John Gilmore, with his umbrella under his arm, was two votes ahead of the gallant major, however, getting 291 majority; Win. E. Starr comes next with 240, and James M. Hurley with 212. Mr. Abrams had the combined opposition of all kinds of l>eople in his ward to fight, and came out with seventeen; Edmund Perkins gathered in the splendid majority of 116 in the second, and John R. Miller, who had some op position among the colored voters, got there with fifty-two to the good. Taking it all around, it is a great, grand and glorious victory,

having their party matters sent from here in such a slip shod and unreliable, and in many cases like the above, untruthful manner. The Journal'll correspondent should either send the republican news to that paper right or not at all. The party managers here would much rather have had the article above not appear at all. Even the Sentinel had a more correct report and the majorities and ticket were sent by correspendents to Cincinnati and Chicago papers. The Journal needs a representativo here who is in touch with the republican party.

A gain of one hundred and seventeen in majority in Greencastle is the happiest political hit of this season hereabouts.

The city elections over Indiana are almost universally in favor of republicanism. Never in tiie his-

president, the total vote of the city was 920, with a republican majority of 172. This time the head of the ticket polled 87J votes, a falling off of forty-seven votes; notwithstanding the light vote, cast your eyes on that republican majority yesterday of 289 on the head of the

ticket.

It’s but the popular move of condemnation against democratic incompetency that is sweeping the country. People don’t want democracy, as they know it is entirely incapable of managing the affairs of the nation, the state or the city. The people don’t want seventy-five cents a day wages, as Putnam county is now paying, and that itching desire in the hands of near-

Ti'EBOAt’h republican victory in Greencastle means more than the mere election of seven candidates. It means more than a largely increased majority. It is the advance guard of success in county and state, and the desperate efforts of democracy to counteract the tide which has set in against them show that the enemy is alert to its interests. Over-confidence led many

result in this city is just like it is elsewhere. It's almost a unanimous opinion. The vote yesterday was » trifle slow in the morning, hut in the afternoon it warmed up.

d>e.

Democracy hunted its hole early last night. Uncle John and his umbrella led the ticket. Starr has the old time republican majority—240 Says Hill to Hurst: Phillips wants more money. There is nothing now in the way of Sel joining Coxey. Mr. D. S. Thud was with the democrats of the second. This beats the seven-year itch and the Wabash scratches. Incidentally we rise to remark that Mr. Starr is vindicated. Jim Browning will still sell clothing, and likewise Mr. Phillips. The democratic majority of four the first has gone glimmering. Our country friends are advised to look over these results carefully. That “man of dough,” with his 110 majority in the second, is a runner. And there were forty-five good republican votes out of the city yester-

day.

It occurs to us that we told the hoys to put the majority at about J00. They did it. Democracy blew in fully $200 in the first ward, and still the majorities climbed. Judge Kelly, of the north precinct of the second ward, stepped outside the I tolls and advised a student “as a ( friend” not to vote. It looks like lie

stay advised the gentleman a< a democrat. 1 He had the law read to him shortly af-

terwards.

The last majority for mayor in 18S»2 was ninety-three. Birch’s gain over

that is 194.

If the democrats had been drawing for limburger yesterday they couldn't have caught a scent. Alonzo Jacobs beads his ticket. Lon only missed his guess on his opponent’s majority about one hundred. That “foot-race” early in the morning wasn’t a patchin’ to some of the republican finishes later in the day. A gain of 117 over the presidential majority in 1892 is not bad, considering there were so many republicans out of

town.

Mr. Louis, who got more votes when he ran for sheriff than any man on the ticket, was their strongest man for mayor. The most ludricons feature of this campaign was a theoiogue introducing Sel Brazier around Florence hall as a temperance candidate 1 That banquet which was to have been held in honor of Mr. Phillips’ election has been indefinitely postponed by force of existing circumstances. If the democrats had written several more anonymous letters they would have made the election unanimous for the republicans. Those letters were boomerangs. Colonel Petzhold did not vote, notwithstanding the democrats paid his expenses for several days. The baker had sense enough to see that his vote would have been an illegal one.

No description could possibly do justice to present disgraceful attitude of the democratic senators. They have refused to grant hearings to honest working men and women who have come here to protest against the bread being taken from their mouths hy vicious legislation, and they are today on their knees, not granting hearings, hut taking and obeying, absolutely without question, the orders of the millionaire trusts, as to changes to he made in the tariff hill. Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are up to their necks in this filth, while those democratic senators who are always ready to obey the crack of the party whip are being kept in ignorance of what js going on; they have only to be tolffthat a hill is a party measure to support it, no matter what its nature may la*. Surely the workingmen will have a long score to settle with the democratic party. A warning to newspaper publishers against lending their names and infiuence to be used in a business of which they know nothing and which they cannot control, is contained in a bill filed in court by William R. Hearst, publisher of the San Francisco Examiner, against John Wcdderbnrn, manager of the Press Claims Coin|Niny and the Examiner Claims Bureau, of Washington, asking for the appointment of a receiver. Mr. Hearst says he was a partner of Wedderburn’s in the Examiner Claims Bureau and that Wedderburn was under their contract to furnish the capital and manage the business. He charges Wedderburn with organizing and maintaining the Press Claims Company with money belonging to the Examiner Bureau ; with other misappropriation of funds, including the proceeds of a note for fH.OuO signed by the firm name without authority ; with creating a large indebtedness; with refusing to return

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Important Krants at the Capital.—The Latent News. Washington, April JO, 1894 Senatoi Hale very cleverly smoked the democrats out and compelled Senator Harris, of Tenn., who is in charge of the democratic side of the senate, to acknowledge that he and the rest of the democrats, except those who are dickering with the democratic “kickers,” were ignorant of w hat concession had been made or would he made, but w ere prepared to go it blind on the reconstructed tarifl bill, whether it agreed with their sentiments or not. Wag not that a remarkable confession toliemade by the whilom leader of the majority of the senate? Commenting on the statement published that the democratic leaders were becoming more cheerful over the outlook, Mr. Hale said: “Cheerful. Mr. President, cheerful when bargaining and selling is going on instead of honest tariff legislation. Cheerful when jugglery and skullduggery take the place of open discussion.

Ii is doubtful if ten per cent of the several hundred men composing the army could he prevailed upon, no matter how great the inducement offered, to take a regular job of work.

Coxey and Brown, who, hy the way, have ihlden and been well fed and housed during the wart'll, are apparently out for the money that can be made out of the free advertisement their connection with the movement has given them.
