DEMOCRATIC GAINS

IN THE RECENT MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS THROUGHOUT INDIANA. A Democratic Victory—Not a Bay of Hope in the Returns tor tba Republican Party. It is certainly true that the city and town elections are to a large extent governed by local conditions and issues and that their results cannot he regarded as an infallible index to the direction of the political current. But there is a certain ass? iation of the party name by which the ticket is designated with the well known general principles of that party in the general mind, and that association very largely influences the vote of a great majority of people. Only to this extent are the results indicative of the drift of sentiment on strictly party lines.

The returns have been carefully compiled from dispatches to the Indianapolis Journal and Sentinel the gains made by the two parties in the town and city elections last week. It would be positively unfair to take the returns in either paper as absolutely accurate. In the following table, however, reports to both papers have been used and cities and towns have been placed in the column to which both reports agree in assigning them. The table shows also the previous or natural political complexion of the cities. Not all the cities in the Democratic gain column have gone Democratic, but the Democrats have in each made gains either in officers or total votes. So with the Republican column. In that will be found a number of places which have in the main gone Democratic, but in which the majority has been reduced or certain officers have been lost. The showing is pleasing to Democrats for the advantage in the week’s balloting rests with them. In the table the name of the city is followed by “D” or “R” to indicate the natural or previous political complexion of the place:

It will be seen that the Democrats made gains in twenty-nine Republican and fifteen Democratic cities and towns, while the Republicans made gains in fifteen Democratic and thirteen Republican localities. In the following places there was no marked advantage to either party, each holding its own: Democratic Montpelier, Linton, Haughville, Boonville, Bluffton, Decatur, IJuntington, Bloomfield, Pern, Waynetown, Elwood, Sellersburg, Lafayette, Geneva, New Harmony, Poseyville.

WHO SHOULD REGISTER?

Absentees from the State for More Than Six Months. Among the amendments to the election law adopted by the last legislature is the following, regarding registration of voters in certain Cases: Any person who, having been a resident of Indiana, and a qualified voter therein at any general election, shall have ; absented himself from the state for a period of six months or more since last so voting, or who shall have gone into any other state or sovereignty with the intention of voting therein since last so voting, or during any absence in another state or sovereignty, shall have voted therein, since last so voting, and also any person who shall not have been a bona fide resident of the county in which he resides at least six months before any election, shall, before being entitled to volb at such election -in this state, register in the office of the clerk of the circuit eourt of the county in which he resides, a notice that he claims to be a legal voter in such county. Such registration shall be made at least fifty-nine days prior to any such election, ami the notice shall state such person’s name, age and place of residence (by which shall bp understood his lodging place), both at the time of registration and during the period of four months prior thereto. Secretary Foster’s advice to officeholders, “especially in the south,” that they should not go to the Minneapolis convention, is good so far as it goes. But why should the proprieties apply especially to the south, and why should there be any invidious distinction between state and national conditions?— Richmond Independent.

STRIKES AND THE TARIFF.

Uk«r SlmtirfMtlw Spx—Mmf •tan Alar tba IbKiaMr Tartar. Judging from tike editorial page of the Indianapolis Journal,- there axe no claaaeo of people in this country more prosperous and better contented than the American workmen. Bat if the readers cd the state organ of the G. O. P. will turn to the telegraphic report* they will find a long list of strikes, lockouts, etc., to demolish the prosperity manufactured to order in The Journal’s editorial rooms. For example: The Journal of May 4, under the caption. “The Annual Strike Fever,” summarizes the labor trouble as follows: About 400 hundred house carpenter! went on strike in Baltimore May 2. The lumber shovers on Chequanegon bay, Wia., were getting forty cents an hour, but struck. Eight hundred coal-handlers are on s strike at Cleveland for fourteen oentf per ton. This is aa increase of twc cents a to* in some eases. Boston boiler manufacturers hav« voted to refuse their employes a reduction of hours to nine a day. They threaten to lock out every union man. Building operations at Saginaw,Mich., are at a standstill. The bricklayers, who have been receiving $3.50 per day, have struck for an advance of $1 a day. Nearly a thousand workmen employed in the quarries in and near Stony Creek, Conn., are on strike for a nine-hour day and an increase of one cent per hour over the rates now paid. Over 600 employes in the Boonton (N. J.) iron mill were notified that if the place was to continue in operation undei the present depressed state of the iron market, they would have to accept a 1C per cent, reduction in wages. The iron workers oh the manufacturers’ building at the world’s fair grounds, Chicago, are on strike for thirty-five cents per hour. The present rate is thirty cents. The workmen on the administration building were granted thir-ty-five cents, after a four-hour strike. Two hundred men on the Kentucky Central and Louisville and Nashville roads, including transfer hands, switchmen, yardmen, sectionmen and laborers, have struck on account of a reduction in wages from $1.35 to $1.25 a day. They predict all the men along the line will join the strike. The'united Germsff and English carpenters, of New York, went on strike May 2 because of the failure of the master framers and carpenters to sign an agreement fixing a schedule of prices for labor. This agreement has been made every year, but this year, when it was presented, only nineteen out of the forty-five bosses signed. On May 16 the clothing nressmen of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston and other large cities will demand an advance in the wages and reduction in their hours of labor from ten to nine hours per day. In New York the men will demand an advance of 25 per cent.; Boston pressmen 15 per cent increase, and in other cities the advance demanded will range from 15 to per cent. As the time approaches for the holding of the Amalgamated association convention manifestations of trouble grow moae apparent It is an undeniable fact that not only the mill-workers, but also the manufacturers anticipate difficulty, but their reticence only adds to the general feeling of unrest. Probably the most important development ia the notification that ere long there will he another non union mill in Pittsburg.

APPELLATE COURT.

GEORGE L. REINHABD.

Georgp L. Reinhard, candidate for appellate judge, First district, is a native of Germany and is forty-eight years old. He came to this county quite youug, and has resided in Indiana most of his life. At the age of seventeen years he enlisted as a private soldier in the Fifteenth Indiana volunteers and carried a musket for more than three years, participating in several battles, among them those, of Shiloh and Stone river. From 1865 until 1888 he was a student at Cincinnati and at Miami university, Oxford. O. In 1870 he located in Rockport, where he entered upon the practice of law and achieved good success. In 1876 he was elected prosecuting attorney, and was reelected without opposition, being placed on the Democrat and Republican tickets. In 1884 he was elected judge of the Second judicial circuit. In 1890 he was re-elected and served until appointed by Governor Hovey on the appellate court bench, aa one of the two Democratic members of that court. Second District.

FRANK E. GAVIN.

Frank E. Gavin, candidate tar appellate judge, Second district, was born in Greensburg, Ind., Feb. 20, 1884, graduated atHarvardin 1873 atthe ageafaiaeteaa,

RENSSELAER IASPEB COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY. MAY 13 1892

■feadied law until he was twenty sms, whoa he was admitted to the bar ad Greensburg, where he has since been achhsely engaged in the practice, his firm baring had a large practice during all the trine. In 1876 he was the Democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney, but was defeated with the remainder of the ticket in his district. He was county attorney fee several years, and in 1884 was the Cleveland and Hendricks elector for the Feurth district. While always taking an active interest in politics and always a Democrat, he has been essentially a lawyer rather than a politician. His father, Colonel James Gavin, was one of Indiana’s bravest mldiers and ablest lawyers, haring been one of the authors of the Gavin & Hard revision of the Indiana statutes, and colonel of the Seventh Indiana volunteers. Third District.

THEODORE P. DAVIS.

The nomination of Theodore P. Davte as candidate for so high an office as that of appellate judge, for the Third district, is an honor which few men of the age of Mr. Davis have enjoyed, and should he be elected he will be one of the youngest men who has ever held the position of judge of the appellate or supreme courts of Indiana.

Although quite young, being only thirty-seven years of age, Mr. Davis is a veteran worker in the Democratic party and in the practice of law. In the course of sixteen years he has enjoyed a large and lucrative practice and has been engaged in not less than 150 cases in the supreme court of Indiana, and has enjoyed the reputation of standing in the front rank of able lawyers. The bar of Hamilton county is one of the strongest and best in the state. Mr. Davis is a son of Newton J. Davis, a farmer of Hamilton county, an original Democrat and an honored citizen, and was born in Westfield, Hamilton county, Ind., in 1855. He spent his boyhood and youthen hard labor on the farm ; attending the district school in the winter. In 1872 he attended a term at the Norj mat School at Lebanon, 0., and returned to take up the profession es teaching. In 1 this work the evenings afforded him time for Blacks tone and other fundamental authors on law. At the age of eighteen he entered the law office of Moss & Trissal as student The foundation he had previously laid, together with close application $s student fat office, enabled him to enter the practice of law at the age of twenty-one years, when he formed his present partnership yyith Thomas J. Kane. In 1876 Mr. Davis was selected as chairman of the Democratic county central Committee which position he filled with marked energy and ability until 1880. Being one of the hardest laborers in behalf of his party, he has long been reverenced by the Democrats of Hamilton county as one of their most valiant and valued workers in the interest of the party. He actively participated in every state convention since 1873, . and was selected as alternate delegate to the national convention at St. Louis in 1876, and delegate to Cincinnati in 1880. That Mr, Davis commands the love and esteem of all who know him, without regard to party lines, is shown in the language of many Republicans who, by their actions and words, have assured him that they will support him, and it is openly conceded by all that' they believe him to b,e a, man who is so loyal to justice that he would not sacrifice his honor, even to any of his party, in the discharge of his high official duties, should he be elected. * Mr. Davis has been for many years a Mason, Knight of Pythias and an Odd Fellow. Fourth District.

ORLANDO J. LOTZ.

Orlando J. Lotz, candidate for appellate judge, Fourth district, was born in Jay county, Ind., in the fifties. He lived on a farm until he reached his majority; attended the district schools, and commenced teaching therein at the age of eighteen. Attended the high school at Fort Recovery,o. , and Liber college in the years of 1869 and 1870. Read law and entered the aenior class of the National law school at Washington, D. C., in 1873, and graduated with distinction in 1874, receiving the gold medal for progress and proficiency. Was admitted to the bar in 1874 in the District of Columbia before Judge Arthur McArthur. Located at Muncie, lad., and commenced the practice of his profession in 1875, In 1885 was appointed by Governor Gray judge of the Delaware circuit eourt to fill a vacancy. In 1886 waa elected judge of said court for a full term of six years as a Democrat in a county largely Republican. During his services on the bench he haa tried and determined some of the most important cases which have arisen in the courts of eastern Indiana. Considering the number of cases and the intricacy of the questions involved, his rocord m the affirmation of his judgments by the supreme court is perhaps the equal at that of any other judge in tea state.

*A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

George E. Ross, candidate for judge of the appellate court from the Fifth district, is a native of Peru, Ind., and son of Jndpfe N. O. Ross. At the age of fourteen he entered the Wabash college, where he pursued his studies three years, almost finishing the sophomore course. On quitting college he entered the law department of the state university, where be remained a limited period, and then read law with his father until 1877, at which time he was admitted to the bar, being theu but nineteen years of age. His first case, that of Harvey vs. The People’s Bank, was tried in the superior eourt at Logansport in the fall of 1878, he appear ing for the plaintiff, and Judge Dykeman, Windfleld, McConnell and his own father for the defense. The jury failing to agree upon a verdict, the cose was taken on change of venue to Miami eounty, where the young attorney gained a complete victory for his client.. The case was then appealed to the supreme court, which also rendered a decision in his favor. Me. Ross has made a creditable record as a lawyer.

Millionaires and the Tariff.

The New York Tribune is printing what purports to be a complete list of millionaires in the United Staten by states and territories, with a statement of the lines of business in which they have made their fortunes. The avowed object of this publication is to prove that only a small proportion of our wealthy men are indebted to protection for their riches. The first installment covers eleven states and the District of Columbia. Following is a general statement, complied from the details given by The Tribune, showing the number of millionaires in each wh« acquired their wealth in protected industries, unprotected industries and the manufacture of patented articles respectively : Pro- Unpro- Fat- , , tec ted. tec ted. ants. Alabama e 4 Arkansas ’ (j ” California 20 142 Colorado 1 16 Connecticut 82 85 is Delaware io 6 District of Columbia.. 0 25 Florida 3 a Georgia., 2 9 Idaho 1 3 Illinois 75 251 ii Indiana 10 27 Total 166 526 ~26

This exhibit presents some interesting features. Iu the first place it.will ae seen that, with the exception of Connecticut, the states named are not distinctively manufacturing states and that the most of them are far western and southern, iu which manufacturing industries are not extensively pursued. Nearly all are rather agricultural or mining than manufacturing, and yet 28 per cent of tita millionaires are admitted to have acquired their wealth in protected industries. In the second plKse, the showing for Connecticut, the only strictly manufacturing state in the list, is thirty-five who made their money in unprotected industries, thirty-two who made theirs in protected industries, and twelve who got rich manufacturing protected articles. The Tribune admits tjiat these last may be tariff protected, and classes them separately for that reason. In point of fact they are protected by the tariff, for no machine is admitted free of tax. Really, therefore, forty-four of the Connecticut millionaires are. by The Tribune’s own showing, indebted to the tariff for their fortunes. Tnat is, 55.7 per cent, of the whole number are tariffmade millionaires. Such are the conclusions from The. Tribune’s own classification. But that classification is not to be accepted without question. Upon examining the list one quickly discovers that very many of those placed jn the category of the unprotected are admitted to have made snore or less of their gains out of “investments,” “securities,” and “etceteras,” which may easily mean protected manufactures. It is a fact that a great many merchants, railroad officials and others who are not known as manufacturers are in reality largely interested as stockholders in protected manufacturing enterprises, and may have derived the greater part of their wealth from these sources. A great many people who are known to the public as lawyers, merchants, officers of railroad, insurance and other corporations, or as men in other unprotected occupations, undoubtedly got their start in such occupations, and yet acquired most of their wealth by investment in the shares of protected industrial enterprises. The Tribune’s classification is therefore very defective, and its long list of millionaires proves nothing. Senator Sherman has grown rich in office. So has Secretary Blaine. We are not to infer that their wealth is only what they have managed to save out of their salaries—Chicago Herald.

Sven Ohioan* Couldn’t Do It.

The failure of the Ohio Republican state legislature to secure an indorsement at the hands of the Republican state convention is the first time in history that the Republican party in any state in the Union failed to indorse the corrupt acts of its servants.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. When the railroads begin to march to the treasurer’s office of Knox county, under the new tax law and pay $20,000.00 a year or one-tenth of all our texee, then the Republican organ, The Commercial, beghis to agnail t .iat^n»_

FRUITS OF M’KINLISM.

“Wherever Competition In Not, Monopoly I*.“ [W. L.Wilson,M.< ; „ in St. Louis Republic.] Wherover wo follow tho working of the protective system wo are sure to And that it tends to tho one thing, so incompatible with a government of equal rights, the fostering of monopoly. Protection is merely a more or lohh complete interference with the free play of competition. “Wherever competition is not, monopoly is.” said John Stmart Mill, and so say all writers on the history of laws and trade. In a recent conversation with an importer doing a largo business in New York city, I was told that the enormous duties imposed by the McKinley bill, something over a hundred per cent, on the goods which he imported had not materially lessened the quantity of his importations, because the people still demanded and needed such things, but they forced him to employ a much larger amount of capital in his business. For every dollar's worth of goods bought and imported he had to pay an additional dollar at the custom house, and he added with a significant smile, “I don’t lose that dollar,bntget it l>ack from somebody with profit upon it. But in order to do a busings of three millions now I find I must have a thpital of eighteen hundred thousand dollars. Now, what is the effect of this? All the small importers are being driven out of business. Only men who have large capital, or command of large capital, can successfully carry on business under the McKinley bill. Gradually, as in the protected manufactures, the business of importing will be concentrated into a small number of great establishments. The owners of those great establishments, relieved from competition, will finally become satisfied with and supporters of the tariff that secures them such relief, and as long as the consumer is the only unprotected individual in the country, a legitimate object of spoliation for the manufacturing or importing monopolists, there will be increase in the great moneyed interests marshaled to the support of the tariff. ”
