One spellbinder, whom Chairman Dick hoped to have on the stump over in Ohio has flatly refused to take part in the campaign for the reelection of Hanna. Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico, says he was shocked by the action of Hanna on the floor of the senate last January when he repudiated the republican platform promise to the territories, and that he cannot conscientiously take part in his re-election. If that were the onlv J I platform promise the republican party has ever repudiated, that party would still be entitled to the distinguished consideration of ths people, but the platform promise concerning the territories is only one little venial sin compared to the mountain sf iniquity ’ justly chargeable to the republican, party. Up to date there have been twenty ; eight persons indicted by various grand juries for complicity in the frauds and speculations in the Post Office Department, but not one has. so far, been brought to trial, and the chances are not one of the in 'dieted will be as vigorously prosecuted as he deserves or be convicted in the end. The distinguished poli tician who presides over the Post. Office Department seems to think that his mill has ground exceeding fine, and that he has a fin 2 mess of rotten mill stuff to present to the people of the country as the result of the labors of his spectros. He is now congratuating himself and the country that the end has beam ■ reached and that the official reports will soon be forthcoming; at least they will soon be in the hands of the President, who will give them to the public if he sees fit to do so. and if he does not the people can goto —‘ and there you are. Mrs. H. S. Porter arrived from Minneapolis this morning, where she has been visiting her brother and son. Grace Lewton has taken charge of the second room in the public schools at Monroe, made vacant by Ada Wittwer, who has accepted a similar position at Berne.

INDIANAPOLIS DEMOCRATS ARE WARY

Indianapolis. Oct. 12. —Rumors have been rife all day that the Republicans will attempt to corrupt the election boards if ft is necessary to win Os course there may be nothing in this, but there were many Democrats who worn afraid With their lug boodle . fund the Republicans can start inuat anything, and things are favorable to them because they will absolutely control all of the election machinery. ExMayor Taggart declared today that the Republicans have no chance of winning unless they steal enough votes after the polls are dosed. His remark was significant of the feeling of a 'arge number of Democrats. Chairman Keach. however. Is not so apprehensive. He has taken every precaution and he does not believe it will be possible for the Republicans to corrupt the boards or to buy enough votes to win. He expressed the opinion today that Holtzman will have a majority over both Bookwaiter and Hits and that Bookwaiter's total vote will not exceed 15.000. An Independent fortune has been wagered on the result of the city election here tomorrow. It was difficult today to tell exactly In whose favor the trend of the betting was. First it feuued to be Bookwaiter, then Holtz- j man. Bookwaiter will probably carry fiillv a third more money, as he was a stiong favorite for sever il weeks tetoie the campaign opened. It is piobable that nearly SIOO,OOO will chntige hands. Hundreds of bets rang'ng from $lO to SSO have been made, and there arc not a few at from S’t'O to SSOO and there were a few at SI,OOO, Most of the betting was done at the betting boards, although of course there has been the usual amount of small betting among Ir^ll-, vldunls. The practice of bettlng/on the boards has become general. Mow- I ever, so that one does not hear rluch of large it.dividual bets Porbang it! is just as well that a man does! not' know from whom he wins or tn vAo-n ’

THE BALL GAME — Championship Won by the Rosenthals. One of the Fastest Games of the Season—the Score Three to Two It is all over now, and the Roseni thals can still lay claim to the chain ' pionship of Decatur, yesterday’ defeating the All Professionals by a i score of 3to 2, and the score certainly indicates that the Rosenthals | did not have a walk away. It was a struggle from the first to the last ! inning, and only up until the last 1 put out was made were the Rosenthals sure of victory. The battle I commenced promptly at two thirty | with’the All Professionals at bat ’ and they were retired in one tvjo three order, and it looked easy for 1 the Rosenthals but on the other hand the Rosenthals were handed the same dose, and neither side scored until the fourth inning when each team scored one run. In the fifth the All Professionals assumed the lead and held it until the sixth inning when the Rosenthals again tied up the score and for the remainder of the game the All Professionals were blanked although they threw away several good chances to ■ score by oad base running. In the eighth inning the Rosenthals scored the run that won the game and the All Professi mats went down in defeat but not disgraced. UndoubtedIly the feature of the game was the work of Tom Railing in fielding his position as pitcher as he time and time again stopped batted balls that had all the ear marks 'of base hits, also must all due credit be given to the whole All Professional team as they put up one of the fastest games of ball witnessed here this summer and their all around work was fast. This being their second apjx»aranoe shows that they have some good material and are able to play the game from A to Z. The game was witnessed by a samll but enthusiastic crowd whose sympathy seemed to be evenly divided and whenever a good play

he loses. Hundreds of men have ert wded around the betting boards today as. the interest was intense. The belief is current among politi- < fans fiat the fine hand of Governor Dur! in is beiotr.ing visible in the fight f: r control of the Republican state committee. The governor nas a sly way of keening his own counsel and but few know what he doe’ until the results are evident, so whether or not he is taking a hand is not certain It is said, however, that he has caused A. A. Tripp of North Vernon, brother I of Ernest Tripp, one of the governor's I closest friends, to become a candidate for Fourth district committeeman. He is also said to be backing Walter Brown of Elkhart for re-election in the Thirteenth, and ft is now said he is helping Adam Beck of Huntington, who is a candidate again in the Eleventh. As the governor is not a can- | didate for the United States senate, it is figured that he would like to have a hold on the reorganization in order that he may exert a big Influence in making up the delegation to the next national convention. Rumors of more newspaper changes ■ fill the air here again. Most of them arc regarding the Sentinel, the oldtime Democratic organ. It Is said that i it Is about to pass from the hands of Samuel E. Mona to a company of prominent Democrr’s headed by former Mayor Tom Taggart, national committeeman from Indiana. Mr. Morse has refused to either deny or confirm a report that negotiations were on for his paper, but the report has been current for some time that he was contemplating retirement ftom the newspaper field. There has also ’been a report that the same company! :ka< Is talking of buying the Sentinel also wants the Sun for the purpose of combining the two and getting out a big afternoon Democratic paper. All these stories are denied, but an announcement of some kind of a deal will not be surprising.

Each Team Secured a Touchdown But Failed to Kick Goal. The Decatur High School foot ball team were defeated at Warren Saturday by a score of 6 to 5 which would in itself indicate that it certainly was a foot ball game. The Warren team out weighed the boys from here twenty pounds to the man. but with all this the boys stubbornly fought every inch of ground and Warren’s touch down was only secured after one of the hardest struggles ever witnessed on a gridiron. Warren made their touch down in the first half by straight line bucking and at the end of the first half the score was 6to 0 in their favor, but at the beginning of the second half the Decatur boys appeared with blood in their eye and after 15 minutes of play and on an end run by Coffee of thirty five yards having secured the ball on a fumble Decatur scored, and would have tied the score only for an error of judgment by a Decatur quarterback who after the score had been secured and the try for goal was being made dropped the ball on the ground and the whole Warren team were upon it at once, and Decatur’s last chance was gone. Taking it all in all it being Decatur’s first appearance this season the boys are certainly entitled to a great amount of credit and from all reports with the material on hand the team will take good care of itself this season. The boys all express themselves that they never received better treatment and should Warren play here they will be accorded the same treatment. DOING BUSINESS. New Cigar Store Behind With Orders. A representative of our paper droppea into the new cigar factory of Blume|& Bogner and was certainly surprised to see the amount of work on hand and how busy all the 'employees of the firm were kept. The firm is located in the entire flat over the Journal office and is up to date cigar factory. Mr. Blume in- ! formed ns that he had just received a ton of fine toliaeco and from the 1 looks of two thousand cigar boxes setting around he is doing some busineM and he further informed us that he |is now 15,000 cigars behind in his work and is trying to secure more men to help him out as he cannot supply all of his orders. Mr. Blume manufactures the Eagle, Bald Eagle, Indiana Gentleman. Hoositr Twine, and his new brand Tlie Interurban, He has in his emJ ploy Charles E. Rudy who just arrived from Tampa, Florida and is an expert cigar maker. From an appearance, Blume & Bogner are an enterprising firm. Dancing School.
