THE LUCKY MEN.

Last Tuesday evening the court-house was filled with a large number of enthusiastic Republicans who lnid met for the purpose of nominating candidates for the various city offices. The meeting was called to order by L. H. Reynolds, chairman of the City Central Committee, and George W. Duncan was selected as permanent chairman. Mr. Duncan made a short speech stating the object of the meeting, after which W. P. Bidgood and WiU Randall were selected as secretaries. Th' order and manner of nominations having been determined, Captain Henry Snow and J. K. Henby were selected as Inspectors. Mr. R. A. Black presented the name of Wm. G. Smith as a candidate for Mayor, and Henry L. Moore announced the name of Rev. Wm. Anderson for the same position. The vote resulted 92 for Smith and 39 for Anderson. On motion of Mr. Anderson, the vote was made unanimous.

Mr. Will Hough presented the name of Rob M. Lynn, foreman of the Republican office, for Clerk, and Mr. Lynn nominated H. Ward Walker for the same position. The ballot resulted Lynn 98, Walker 30 and on motion, Mr. Lynn was made the unanimous choice.

Mr. W. P. Wilson was nominated by acclamation for the office ot treasurer. The nominations for Marshal developed quite a spirited contest as there were several candidates. W. J. Sparks nominated Robert Offutt, Will Hough, named W. N. Davis, John Bailey announced the name of Thomas B. Derry, and Joseph Loehr acted as spokesman for John Milroy. The first ballot resulted Milroy, 71 Offutt, 58: Davis, 13, and Derry 12. The contest was close as the ballots counted out even until the count reached 53, when Milroy forged ahead. The names of Messrs. Davis and Derry being withdrawn, the second ballot gave Milroy 81 votes and the nomination, while Offutt received 57. On motion of Mr. Offutt, the nomination was made unanimous.

For water-works Trustees, the ballot resulted, John Ward Walker, 5 Bell Banker, 62 Elbert Tyner, 56 E. E. Stoner, 47: John T. Duncan, 13. Messrs. Walker, Banker and Tyner, wore declared the nominees.

The various wards separated and nominated councilmeu as follows: 1st Ward —Henry Jeffries: 2nd Ward—Samuel Hook 3d Ward—John B. Huston. In the 1st Ward there was a spirited contest, The vote stood: Jeffries, 18 White, 18 Suess, 6. 2nd ballot: Jeffries, 21 White, 18 Suess, 4. The third ballot resulted in the nomination of Mr. Jeffries.

TIIE NOMINEES.

Mr. Wm. Smith, the candidate for Mayor is one of Greenfield solid and substantial citizens. He was a gallant Luion Soldier and carries the mark of a severe wouud. Mr. Smith has, for 15 years, been the engineer at J. C. Alexander grist mill and is one of our hard working men. He has capacity and judgment and will make a most excellent Mayor.

Mr. Robert M. Lynn, the nominee for Clerk, is the foreman of the Republican office. He is faithful, honest and capable in *he performance of all his duties, has always been au ardent Republican, and as his genial disposition makes him solid with the boys. He will keep the records for our city dads during the next year.

Wm. P. Wilson, candidate for Treasurer, needs no eulogy from any one. His whole life and character show him to be one of the best citizens our town ever had. He enjoys the confidence and esteem of all, and is one of our most enterprising citizens, ever zealous in his efforts to add to the prosperity and assist in building up Greenfield.

John Milroy, the candidate for Marshal is a broad shouldered, big hearted, big fisted, brawny, brave and honest toiler, who will be a terror to evil-doers, while he wears the Marshal's badge. Mr. Milroy is an employee of Messrs. Black & Gordon, at their saw-mill, and is a young man of splendid character, who will make a good officer.

FOR WATKll-WOIiKS TKUhTEKS J. Ward Walker having declined to run for Waterworks Trustee the Committee added the name of Elmer E. Stoner to the ticket as he also had received a majority of all the votes cast. Mr. Stoner is one of our most active business men. He is a special agent of the Home Insurance Co., and his industry and success gives him a promotion every year. He will make a good Waterworks Trustee.

Mr. Bell Banker is a hard-working enthusiastic Republican, has good business ability, and is the successful proprietor of the extensive brickyards, in the south part of town. He is a good man to ti list with the affairs of the city.

Elbert Tyner is a successful stock dealer and has the energy and push necessary to make a good public official. When it comes to working for the Republican party Elbert has always been on deck, ready for business. He is known to all our citizens, and his clever accommodating manner has rendered him deservedly popular. Mr. Tyner was a soldier and is a member of the G. A. B.

For Councilmal in the First Ward

Uriah H. Jeffries is the proper man. He is one of our successfull business men being engaged in the liyery business and in the sale of buggies and carriages. He is a live man and can be depended upon to look after the best interests of the city.

Mr. Samuel Hook, for Councilman of Second Ward, is an old veteran, and was wounded in the Shenendoah Valley, while serving his country. He has the neccesary qualifications to make a good city Dad. He has been in the grocery business, as clerk, for many years, and is at present with A. Dalmbert.

John B. Huston, present Councilman for the Third Ward and a candidate for re-election, was also a defender of his country in her hour of need. He has been a good Councilman in the past and with his present experience he will make a better one in the future. John is popular, he is built that way, and the people will make no mistake when they continue him as councilman for Ward No. 3.

LOCAL LACONICS.

Take your laundry to Hart & Thayer's. Rev. W. R. Hutchison, of Knightstown, preached at the colored schoolhouse Sunday.

If you feel dull and have no appetite, take Rinehart's Liver Pills 1 a dose. For sale by M. C. Quigley.

You can find flannel shirts in all styles and at every price at Hart & Thayer's. Our citizens should not be taken in by fakirs of any kind or description. Home merchants should always be patronized.

Go to Hart & Thayers and see the latest styles in flannel shirts. A large variety to select from.

Some of the boys say, "we will have to stand by Porter for marshal, he will not bother our 'little games' on Sunday."

Eggs wanted at Thayer & Co's market at 10 cts. cash 12^ in trade. Butter and poultry in any quantity, for cash.

Preaching at the M. P. churcli both Sabbath morning and evening, by the pastor. Morning theme—"Black Horse and Rider." Rev. vi 5, 6. A cordial invitation extended to all.

When you want the latest thing in a collar or neck-tie go to Hart & Thayer's. Tljpy always hRVP it olioap fpr

Mrs. A. J. Anderson had her ankle and foot badly sprained last week by partially falling down a stairway. The bruise is sufficient to confine her to her room.

Hart & Thayer are now displaying a most elegant line of flannel shirts including all the new novelties in theac popular goods.

Stokes Jackson was seen on our streets the first of the week. He is sticking close to the stock buying business in Vernon township and although he lives here he is seldom seen up in town.

Hart & Thayer have everything that is known in the flannel shirt line, embracing prices from the low to the high. They all go cheap for cash.

Palmer Santa haa been dangerously sick this week with erysipelas of the face. Dr. Adams is his attending physician.

LATER—Mr. Santa died early this morning. Funeral next Sunday at 2 o'clock at M. E. church.

It is said that a number of Rusliville "sassiety" young people did not come to the May party here on account of a small circus in their town Wednesday. There is no accounting for tastes.

A surprise party was given at the home of Miss Dora Duncan Wednesday evening. Several young couples were present to do the young lady honor. It was Miss Dora's 17th birthday.

LOST: A pair of gold spectacles last Sunday, between the livery stable of Smith & Jeffries aod Mt. Lebanon church. Finder will return to Smith & Jeffries, at their stable and receive reward.

Marshal Porter is receiving the support of the whiskey and gambling element and also trying to dodge in with the church and temperance workers. A dodger is a man who can not be trusted. He will not be true to either side.

The M. P. brethren have seated their church with chairs. The arrangement will be a decided improvement over the old bench seats. The pastor can now afford to devote 15 minutes more time to the delivery of his sermon without wearying his listeners.

Wood Meek who has been confined to his home for the past year with White Swelling, is reported to be improving this week. The young man is sorely afflicted and a change for the better would be cheering news to his many Mends in this city.

On last Saturday Mr. Taylor McMahon who recently moved here from Rusliville, purchased the interest of Wm. Tolen In the new Main street Meat Market. The new firm will be known as Wright & McMahon. They are both clever gentlemen and deserve success.

Capt. Lee O. Harris is assisting County Clerk R. A. Black, at present. Ephriam Bentley is quite sick at his home in Brandy wine township.

The many readers of this paper will be benefited by reading the advertisement of the Long Branch Store.

Porter indirectly charges Pauley and his friends with stuffing the ballot box, and now he is begging them to help him.

The Republicans have a man in each ward water-works trustee. This is as it should be as every part of town needs to be represented.

Do you want your young sons to gamble? If you do, vote the Democratic ticket as gambling flourishes under the present city officers who desire re-election.

It seems as though the poker players are solid for Porter for marshal irrespective of party. Let citizens who desire gambling stopped rote for Milroy for marshal.

The Republican ticket is a good one and deserves the support of the citizens of Greenfield who desire to see law and order enforced and gambling and Sunday whisky selling abolished.

The Eastern Indiana Dental Association which met at Muncie this week, elected A. C. Budd, of Muncie, President and W. I-I. Chappell, of Knightstown, Secretary. Dr. A. J. Smith, of this city, attended the meeting.

Gambling thrives in this town and what have the present Mayor and Marshal done to put it down. They hare simply shut their eyes and winked at it. Let all citizens desiring a change vote the Republican ticket.

Last Friday night, Andrew Hart, a brother of J. E. Hart, of this place, was knocked down by foot-pads at Indianapolis. They were scared away and he lost nothing and was not seriously injured.

The greatest thing that has ever been brought to Greenfield is Hart & Thayer's 10 ftntl QO ooiftf pniTTifpi* them over. You will find things that you all need and will save from 50 to 75 pgr"" cent. They hold great bargains. No mistake about it. The whole secret about it is they sell for nothing but the CASH and can thus afford it.

Dr. Warren R. King, of Philadelphia, has sold his property at that place to Dr. John S. Bell, of Tipton, and will come to Greenfield and engage in the practice of medicine. The Doctor has an extensive acquaintance, is a good physician a genial gentleman and will no doubt secure his share of the business.

I cheerfully offer my testimonial in behalf of Red Clover Blossoms for cancers, scrofulous ulcerations, eczema and glandular swellings. After more than twenty years' experience I have found it to be an excellent blood purifier.

Reed "iDUVIUe, ailu as-re, TC.'ito jftauloy, of Greensburg, a sister of Mr. Reed, Samuel Patterson, John Mongar and Miss Cappie Guffin were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Wilson this week, and attended the May Dance.

A. D. Trueblood was at Anderson the first of the week. Tnere is an abundance of work there, but there are also plenty of men for each job. As expenses are high, and competiou sharp it is not specially a good place for work, and Mr. T. will work in Hancock County this summer, as a carpenter.

On Wednesday, as Hook Wilson and Theo. Reed, with their wives, were driving through from Rushville in a carriage they unfortunately broke it down near the Poor Farra, but securing a two-horse wagon they arrived on time and had as much fun as anybody at the May Party. There is nothing like getting there.

The Democrat says that Thomas Buchanan Derry, who was born and bred a Democrat, has for some time been chafing under imaginary party wrongs. We hardly think Mr. Derry's wrougs are imaginary. Year after yeiir he has been promised office by the Democratic party and as often has been disappointed. They attempt to continue his services by giving him some little job around the Court House, such as cleaning spittoons, etc, but it will not work. The Democrat also said that Mr. Derry is mad because the Republicans failed to nominate him for Marshal. It continues "Thomas went out of the convention a sad but wiser man and appeared the next morning in his Democrat rig.'' The next morning Mar shal Porter was overseeing Mr. Derry clean ditches on Main street, which we suppose is "his usual Democratic rig." The Democrats say that any little dirty job will hold Tom Derry. They have abused his confidence too often, and he has gone back on them for good.

Pauley vs. Porter.

SsjfWhen ihe votes were counted at the Demoeratic Primary it was announced that Ben Porter received two more votes than W. 11. Pauley, for Marshal. A recount on Monday showed that Mr. Pauley really had a majority of 6. Did they give him the nomination? No! The Board met and decided that they would not, as they said that the ballots might have been changed. As the case rests now, it looks as the though the Committee would have Mr. Pauley and his friends rest under the charge of stuffing the ballot box. There is no doubt but that the Monday night count was correct and Pauley had a majority of the votes. Ben Porter, by staying on the ticket says, "I do not care for thp will of the majority" or "Bill Pauley atid his friends stuffed the ballot box after 11was regularly nominated." Yet Porter has the gall to want the man he has treatso unfairly to come up to the rack and rip him in his hour of distress.

GREENFIELD, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY, 1889. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

THE MAY DANCE.

A Brilliant Afi'air and a Grand Success.

On Wednesday evening May 1st probably the most brilliant and successful ball ever given in Greenfield occurred. It was given in Brown's Rink which had been tastefully and appropriately decorated for the occasion at considerable expense. The music was by Hart's full orchestra of Indianapolis aud was all that could be desired. The grand march began promptly at 9 o'clock. It was led by Harry S. Hume aud wife and there were 49 couples participating. The evolutions and convolutions were carried out perfectly and was truly a beautiful sight. After the grand march there was a quadrille in which there were probably GO couples, many having arrived during the march. The program contained 25 numbers well selected and the dancing did not close until shortly after 4 a. m. At 12 p. in. the dancers and lookers-on, to the number of 150 repaired to the Gooding block where a supper prepared by Host Bragg, of the Guymon House, and Wiseheart & Jones awaited them. It was pronounced by all as one of the most elegant suppers ever given in Greenfield. The gentlemen who prepared it should feel highly complimented as it was a complete success. The managers of the ball deserve much praise for the able manner in which everything was carried out, all the details were carefully looked after and the result was that everybody was happy and had a thoroughly good time and propose to be present next May 1st. The gentlemen were nearly all in full dress suits and made a fine appearance. The ladies, well their costumes were widely different, but oh my, how pretty they were, this refers to both ladies and costumes. Flowers were worn in profusion! Below we give a list of the visitors attending as far as we were able to learn: Mrs. Kate Hadley, of Greensburg Rass Plough, John Mongar, Samuel Patterson, Misses Lulie Plough and Cappie Guffin, Theo. Reed and wife and Hook Wilson and wife, all of Rushville Geo. Brown, Misses Minnie Bartlett, Ave Potorff and Pearl and Vasa Lewis, of Lewisville Eifgene Williams and Julia Williams, his sister, Oscar Harden, Miss Carrie Ireland, Grant Taylor, Miss Stella Manifold, Charles Stevenson and Miss Nellie Taylor, of Pendleton Willis Hume, Messrs. Griffin. Wallsman and the Brosnan Bros., were present from Indianapolis. Knightstown had the largest representation of any of our heiehborine cities, and the sruests were: L. A. Bell, Jack Came/on, Joe Whitsell, Mort Edwards, Frank Butler, Louis V. Armstrong, Misses Leone Ferguson, Mame Boblett, Luna Confare, Cora Kennard, Jessie Bacr, Eva Wilkinson, Alice and Nellie Whitesell and Lizzie Bell. There were GO or more couples of our home people. Many persons were present who went simply to enjoy the music and see the dancing. The dancers were generally experts aud enjoyed the dancing to the utmost. Some of the younger Greenfield girls were fully equal to the more experienced dancers in the ease and grace with which they went through the various figures. The various committees for the ball were as follows: Arrangements— Homer Bragg, James Heffernan and Harry Strickland. Invitation—E. P. Thayer Jr., Ed Baldwin and Lucien Curry. Program—Will Itafferty, Harry Hume and Will Martin. Finance—Lee Barrett, Allen Cooper andEd Baldwin. Reception— Ed Kinder, A. G. White, Asa New, Misses Alice Scott, Tillie Bragg and Nettie Williams.

The Circuit Court.

The two Grose boys in the north-east part of town were indicted for a general row. They are out on their own reconizance.

George Beagle was indicted for unlawfully running a push car. He is now iu jail.

Geo. Walker was acquitted of selling liquor to a minor. Prosecutor Reynolds and Judge Martin took the witness over the road at a lively gait.

Dr. Larrimore, of Carrollton, was acquitted of tho charge of carrying concealed weapons. There was only one witness for the State while about a dozen with an equal opportunity failed to see any weapon. It was clearly a case of spite work.

Ed Eastes, Joe Bell, James Ashcraft and John Ashcraft, of Buckcreek township, plead guilty to disturbing a religious meeting and deposit $17 each for the benefit of the State of Indiana.

Last Tuesday the petit jury was discharged until next Monday. This week, has been largely devoted to criminal business and making up issues.

The Democrat says in regard to the v«s: Democratic city ticket: "Some of the candidates may not be acceptable to ft portion of our fellow Democrats but having been placed on the ticket according to party usage, it is the duty of all Democrats to lay aside all personal considera^ tiom and vote for the ticket as it has been: nominated." The Democrat desires thafc the members of its party shall shut their/ eyes and swallow the ticket. Do not beass guilty of such a foolish action. Vote foriwsg the best men and thus promote the welfare of the city and your own best interests. What improvements have the pres- s!«sr ent Democratic city officials to show for.®: the present high rate of taxation and the enormous amount of taxes paid? Comparatively nothing. Vote the Republican was ticket and secure better government and lower taxes.

Colored M. IS. Church.

Rev. W. R. Hutchinson, of Knightstown, has organized a colored M. B. church in Greenfield. There are 18 members enrolled and these are making an earnest effort to secure money for the purpose of erecting a house of worship here during the summer. The timber has already been donated. Our people should be liberal and help this little band. The church will be not only a great help to our colored people from a moral point of view but it will assist them so far as worldly prosperity is concerned and thus be a benefit to the entire community.
