The Democrats Set Up a Technical Claim To Hold City Offices.
At Laporte the Democrats are claim ing to hold over in the city offices because the Republicans elect failed to qualify according to an old statute passed at a time when the officers were to take their position at once upon election. A man not qualifying within five days was said to have refused to serve. This law is not applicable at the present time, since there can be no refusal to serve until a man has the opportunity to serve, which in the case of city officers is not until the first Monday in September.
The Republicans here did not qualify until yesterday, but when the time arrives for their terms to begin it will be found they will not refuse to serve, but that they were elected, qualified, have given proper bond and in every respect complied with the proper meaning of the law. No little technicality can overthrow the will of the people and justice.

Last Saturday, Capt. Snow, the Receiver of the Wells Mfg. Co. in the matter of the Stove Works received bids for purchasing the plant. On Monday they were opened and were as follows: George Alig, Indianapolis, $4,350 George Alig, for Home £tove Co, Indianapolis, $5,550 A. May. r, Indianapolis, $5,350 J. W. Ramsey, Greenfield, $6,000.
W. W. Baldwin, President of the Cooperative Stove Co., Cleveland, Ohio H. W. Bennett, President Indianapolis Stove Co. George Geary, of the Detroit Stove Works, Detroit, Mich. C. Rafert Capitalist Indianapolis and A. E. Wells, wholesale dealer in stoves at Indianapolis were all here looking over the field, but did not put in bids, as Saturday was the last day on which they were received. Mr. J. W. Ramsey, of this city, had the highest and best bid, but the attorneys for the creditors asked that the matter b# taken under advisement, as they felt tigcbpricc offered was too low. The matter- however will be decided next Saturday. The plant is worth much more than the bid but property is not selling- for its full value these times. We hope Mr. Ramsey's bid will be accepted for then the Stove Works would be operated here by a home company and would be a big thing for Greenfield. When in operation it is one of our best institutions audits existence does not depend upon the operation of natural gas in this territory. Once started and established on a solid basis, it will be permanent, run continouusly, and be of great benefit to our city and surrounding country.
