Last Tuesday was a great Republican day throughout Indiana. Only about six cities in the State went Democratic while the rest went Republican including Democratic strongholds like Ft. Wayne, South Bend, etc. Never has a party had such a great victory in the State as the Republicans gained Tuesday. It seems that the .State will go grandly Republican this fall and assist in restoring business prosperity.

The result of the Greenfield city election Tuesday is gratifying to the Republicans. The party had nominated a fine set of candidates who were worthy the support of the people and as the Republicans are in the majority in the city every candidate was elected. Some Republicans scratched but their defection was met by at least an equal number of Democrats who crossed over and helped us. With a few exceptions the Democrat ticket was also a good one but the people put the seal of condemnation on the Democratic policy which has paralyzed business, thrown laborers out of work, brought hundreds of honest men and women face to face with grim want and starvation. Mayor Herron's position on the Water Works question last year against the interests of the taxpayers had much to do with Tuesday's victory- Now that the Republicans are in, the responsibility rests upon them to give the city a clean, pure, economical, progressive, wide-a-wide, business administration. One which all can approve and applaud. Let the affairs of the city be administered for the best interests of

Local and Personal.

Geo. E. Hicks, a traveling man for M. O'Conner, the Indianapolis wholesale grocer, failed to show up last Saturday, and an investigation of his accounts showed them to be short about $1,000.

Hicks had a number of customers amosg the grocers of Greenfield and Hancock county.

ELECTION NOTES.

Let us all rejoice and be glad. We are under obligations to the Democrats who assisted us and trust they will not regret it.

The Democrats seemed to have a poor organization and helped their candidates but little. This is not a Democratic year however.

All of the Republican candidates are grateful both to their friends who hustled for them and to all who voted for them.

For Clerk Harry Strickland made a good race, but went down with his party. Harry says he now proposes to sell more goods than ever, at the White House grocery.

The Republicans can thank City Chairman N. R. Spencer and other good workers for a careful, thorough and good working organization that fully covered the ground Tuesday and made the victory complete.

City Treasurer Flippo need not worry over his defeat. He has been highly honored along time and still has the confidence of the people as his vote showed, but Gieenfleld is Republican and he had an honest, capable opponent.

The Daily Tribune assisted in electing Riley McKown Clerk, by its malicious and uncalled for attack on his credit. He is an honest, industrious young man and no one for his means has superior credit. He never allows any bills to run, and almost invariably pays cash.

The Republicans were highly delighted Tuesday night and eagerly awaited the counting out of the votes. After the result was known impromptu ratification meetings were held at the homes of the new elected Mayor G. W. Duncan, and Counoilmen Bauker and Beecher. The other candidates were in the crowd.

The Daily Tribune did all it could to elect the Democratic candidates for city offices as its owners voted, worked and talked for them. After the election they are trying to get in the swim with the Republicans. It came ont with a fine eagle and an awful sick rooster. It don't pay to try and carry water on both shoulders better Keep in the middle of the road.

Miss Mamie, the eighteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Rhoadarmer, died at her home on Douglas street early last Tuesday morning from peritonitis. She was a lovely and lovable young lady. Her parents and brothers have the sympathy of the community who mourn with them the untimely death of'one to whom life was so full of joy and happiness. Funeral this afternoon at the M. E. church at 2 p. m.

For several days the Evening Tribune has been puffing itself until it imagine* it is as big as the proverbial toad, about what a "good advertising medium" it is. But last Friday it gave itself away, by saying that Treasurer Flippo sent copies of the Tribune, containing the notices of the bond sale, to the bondmen. Now suppose Treasurer Flippo had sent them his type written statement, or some other paper, it would have been just as good.

Rev. B. F. Daily and wife, Mesdames Charles Mathes, Lafe Slifer, W. B. Bottsford, G. W. Lacy and Misses Anna Lisher, Bertha Tyner and Myrtle Hutch inson attended the district Missionary Convention, of the Christian chHrch, at Irvington this week. One of the addresses of the meeting was given by Mrs. Mathes.

Wm. Tollen, who is putting in a driven water well at his home on North street, struck a good flow of gas at 81 feet. While it burns vigorously now It is no doubt only a little pocket and will not last long.
