Cleveland cannot send a substitute to the polls to-day. We think Grover Cleveland will get his second drubbing to-day. Ir every man in the Seventh district whose Interests W. D. Bynum has voted surainst should undertake to get even

with him he would have the votes of the bams find tax-eaters only.

Democracy is a tax. If yon do not believe it, look at your tax receipts. The banner of Abraham Lincoln is in the hands of Benjamin Harrison to-day. TriE work of to-day may make or mar the whole campaign. Let it be well done. Evert new factory has a foe in William D. Bynum, aa his votes in Congress show. Above all things do not spend time in wordy disputes. A vote was never made thereby. Marion county is the victim of extravagant and corrupt ring-rule. It is high time it should be broken up. TriE Journal's last word to Republicans throughout the State is, see that every liepublican in your precinct votes. "I am a Republican and a protection ist to-day, stronger than ever," writes Hugh O'Donnell from the Pittsburg jail. If you know of a sick, disabled, apathetic or lukewarm Republican make it your special business to see that he votes. It would be big money in the pockets of the people of Marion county if the present court-house ring could bo broken op. TriE solid South will cross Mason nnd Dixon's lino with 153 votes to-night. Where can it get the needed seventythree votes? United States supervisors havo a right to go and remain wherever they please during the casting and counting of the votes. Under the present law no person can challenge a vote except an authorized challenger, a member of the election board, or a United States supervisor. The Republicans who will do their party the best service to-day are thoBo who will keep cool and see that all the Republicans in their neighborhoods vote. The total increase of taxes in this city this year over last is $333,303.40, of which $228,079.04 is for local purposes. Who is the better for it except tho taxeaters! Republicans are not making tho amount of noise that the Democratic managers in New York are, but they are confident in the success of the Repub lican ticket. If the Democrats did not intend to perpetrate frauds in to-day's election why did they put the notorious Simeon Coy in charge of the election machinery in this conntyT There are hundreds of Democrats who would not be seen walking the streets with Simeon Coy, yet he has been selected to direct the votiBg ma chinery in this county. It is high time for the capital city dis trict of Indiana to be represented in Congress by a man who does not mis represent and defame its manufacturing industries wherever he goes. Eyery Republican who is well in formed in regard to the Australian bal lot law can render a service by remain ing near tho polls to answer questions and instruct others who may not be posted. It will be worth many votes to the Republicans In this city to have tho bulk of their ballots in tho boxes by 1 o'clock, because it will enable commit tees to devote their time to looking up a fewer number of tardy ones. Under the present regime tha Marion county court-house has become a regu lar robbers' roost. The people are plun dered right and left, and when the ras calities of the ring are exposed they ask: "What are you going to do about itl" If every Republican and every voter in Indiana who believes the Republican cause the better votes to-day as ho be lieves there will be from ,000 to 10,000 more' Republican ballots in the boxes to-night when the polls close than there will be Democratic. The Frick lies seem to have gone back on their authors, and yet they continne to tell them, but Mr. Coy's organ, the Sentinel, found no room for the Associated Press dispatch giving Hugh CVDonnelfs letter as a champion of or ganized labor to his fellow-workman. "I beg my fellow-workingmen, who are interested in the cause of American labor, not to think for a moment that protection is not the greatest blessing that can be bestowed on us," is the ap peal of Hugh O'Donnell to his friends in his letter of Nov. 3, wntten his counsel, John J. Burke, of New York. Thomas Taggart, who is at the head of tho Democratic machine, is solely re sponsible for the increase of the valua tion of the city for taxation to tho extent of $10,000,000. To-day will be a good day to get even with his party in Marion county by voting tho Republican ticket and voting the whole of it If the campaign had continued a week longer Mr. Bynum; would have picked up the British organ's reason for repealing the McKinley law, namely, "We are so prosperous that if it is not stopped all the peoplo elsewhere who aro able will come here to share it." British interests have no more faithful cham pion than is William D. Bynnm. In 1891. 8,815 persons in Indianapolis owned the same property they did in 1S00, but in 1891 the taxes on that prop erty were $078,165.20, and $"32,447.03 in 1800 an increase of $143,717.57 in one year, or 27 13 per cent And yet, a year ago, Taggart and the Sentinel told the' people that the taxes then being as sessed would be no higher, when they knew better. TnAT most reliable advocate of for eign interests, the New York Herald, Is calling upon workingmen in this coun try to vote against the McKinley law

because it has so checked the importa

tion of foreign goods from England that large numbers of skilled workmen will come to this country. That is, surren der your advantage lest some peoplo from abroad come here to enjoy it. The British advocates are hard pressed. C0UHTISQ THE BALLOTS. The Australian ballot law is explicit in its provisions regarding the counting of the ballots. It provides that when the polls close the board shall first "count all the ballots remaining unvoted, record the number of the same on the tally-sheets, and destroy all of such ballots by totally consuming by fire." This must be done the first thing. The object of this provision is to see if the unvoted ballots, together with those voted and thoso accidentally mutilated and destroyed, agree with the total number originally received by tho elec tion board. The theory of the law is that every ballot must be accounted for. This provision in regard to counting and listing of unvoted ballots is mandatory. After the unvoted ballots are counted and burned, the board must then count the national and State ballots through before beginning on tho county ballots. The law says that the counting of the ballots shall proceed by "beginning first with the State ballots and completing them before beginning with the local ballots, by laying each ballot on the table in the order in which it is taken from the ballot-box, in plain view of each member of the board. Every disputed, irregular or doubtful ballot among the State ballots must be passed upon and disposed of before the county ballets are taken up. All. disputed bal lots must be preserved, and the pollclerk must make a record thereof on the tally-sheet. The provision in regard to disputed ballots is important All unvoted ballots and undisputed ballots that have been voted are to be burned as soon as counted, but all disputed bal lots are to be preserved. This, of course, is for future revision and verification, and for use in case of contest. No election board has a right to throw out a ballot or any part of a ballot, ex cept under the following provision of the law: In the canvass of the votes any ballot which is not indorsed with the initials of the poll clerks, and any ballot which ehall bear any distinguishing marks or mutilation, shall be void and shall not be counted, and any ballot or part of a ballot from which it is impossible to determine the elector's choice of candidates shall not be counted as to the candidate or candidates affected thereby. This does not give the board large discretion in throwing out ballots. In fact, their discretion is very limited. The object and intent of tho law are that every voter's will shall be given ex pression if possible. The board only has authority to throw out a ballot which is not indorsed by the poll-clerk, or which may bear any distinguishing mark or mutilation. All other ballots must be counted as far as the intention of tho voter can be made out. A single mistake on a ballot will not necessarily invalidate tho whole ballot. It will only, invalidate as far as it may make it impossible to arrive at the intention of the voter; for the rest, it must bo counted. It is important to note that under the provision of the law above quoted a ballot can only bo thrown out for n mark or mutilation that is "distinguishing." That is, the mark or mutilation must be such as to distinguish the ballot from all others. Tho soiling that might come from handling with diity hands would not bo a distinguishing mark, and it would be an outrage to throw out a bal lot for that cause. Tho law evidently contemplates that all ballots which are not void by reason of the absence of the poll clerk?s initials or by reason' of mutilation or distinguishing marks shall bo countod. A ballot must not be thrown out because it is doubtful. Unless absolutely void it should be passed upon, decided nnd counted one way or the other. Doubtful or disputed ballots should not be re jected nnd laid aside for future counting. but should be counted and preserved for future uso in case of contest. In every case where the ballot is not abso lutely void for one of the reasons above indicated it is the duty of tho board to ascertain the will of the voter, as nearly as possible, and give effect to it ' Every Republican should see that his ballots are not defaced when he receives them from tho precinct officers. PABT OP A FRAUDULENT PLAIT. ;, The Legislature of 18S9 extended township trustees' term of ofiico to four years. The law makes trustees inspectors of elections and gives them the appointment of judges, and also a Voice in . the appointment of poll clerks. The judges must be of opposite politics, and the inspector holds tho casting vote of the board. In the spring of 1800 there occurred an election for township trustees, the first following the act extending the term to four years. During the campaign preceding the spring election the Democratic State central committee sent throughout the State a circular calling attention of Democrats to the political importance of the oilico of township trustee. After calling attention to the fact that the term of trustees had been extended to four years the circular said: Added to the dnty and policy of the Democratic party to cive the people the best man for trustee there is a party adrantopo to be obtained by the election of our candidates for that ofiice which can scarcely be overestimated. Township trustees are charged with importantdutiesin connection with local' government, but there was no reference to these in the circular. The only allusion wns to the "party advantage" to be gained by electing Democratic township trustees, nnd this the circnlar said 'could scarcely be overestimated." The Democrats put forth great efforts in tho spring election of 1S00 and succeeded in electing a large majority of tho township trusteesthroughoutthe State. Those trustees are still in ofiQc and are a contolling factor in the election machinery. Herein lies the party advantage to which tho Democratic committee referred. It gave them a big advantage in the election of 1800, and if Republicans are not very careful it will give theiu tho same

advantage in the election to-day. Forewarned is forearmed, and the frauds they expect to work through their control of election boards should be de-

Evert Republican should see that his ballots are not defaced when he receives them from the precinct officers. TEE REASON 18 PLAI3. No part of the administration of Mr. Cleveland was a greater failure than the foreign or diplomatic service. Other branches were negative failures, but this was positive. The Cleveland administration was beaten at every point in its negotiations with foreign governments. Our foreign ministers did not maintain the dignity nor assert the rights of the American flag and American . citizens. They accomplished nothing for tho country. They did not promote or advance its interests in any way. The reason is obvious. It was because Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of State was not imbued with the American spirit and most of the foreign ministers were ex-confederates. Secretary Bayard was utterly lacking in backbone and was an admirer of English ideas and institutions. Not once during his incumbency of office did he show himself possessed of American spirit In addition to this the foreign service was chiefly in the hands of ex-confederates. Out of seventeen ministers to foreign countries fourteen were ex-confederates and only three were ex-Union officers, as tho following list shows: Confederate. I Union. Minister to Austria-Hungary, Minister to salary $12,000 AlexanderlMexlco, salary Lawler, of Georgia, Quarter $12.000 Briir.-master-general, C. 8. A. Minister to Bolivia, salary $5,0008. 8.

How could it be expected that the foreign service of the government would be successfully or aggressively administered when nearly all its representatives were men who had tried to destroy itt It is not necessary to look far for the cause of the dismal failure of our diplomatic service during Mr. Cleveland's administration. AN INFAMOUS SCHEME. . , The Democratic managers in this State have shown a degree of recklessness and unscrupulousne8s in their methods that is absolutely' surprising, but their latest scheme caps the climax. This is an attempt to utilize the convicts' dis charge fund of the two State prisons for Democratic campaign purposes. The law provides as fallows: Every convict who shall have served six months or more, when discharged, shall bo furnished $15 in money. Every article of value which any convict may have in bis possession when delivered into the custody of the warden shall be carefully preserved by the waxden, and again delivered to such criminal when discharged, or to such other person as the convict may direct at any time previous to such discharge. Under this provision there is a con siderable fund subject to the order of the wardens of the two prisons, as well as a considerable accumulation of per sonal property. The chairman ot the Democratic State' committee recently wrote to the wardens of both prisons, suggesting that a portion of this fund and of the proceeds of the personal property belonging to the prisoners in their keeping be contributed to the Democratic campaign fund. No more Infamous suggestion was ever made, and it shows the desperation of the Democracy. It was probably held to be justifiable on the ground that a very large, majority ot the convicts in both prisons are Democrats. CONVICT LABOR IN INDIANA. The Democratic party is a convictlabor party. There is not a State In tho Union where it has had the power that it has not enacted a convict-labor law. Nearly every Southern State has such a law. So has Indiana. In this State tho law is as follows: Eection 6133. The convicts may be hired in any number, not exceeding one hun dredinanyone contract in such manner as the directors, in their judgment, may consider to be most condncive to the Interests of the State. All contracts for work ing convicts Shall be given to the highest and best responsible bidder. The directors shall cause such notice to be given by pub lication of the time and place of letting to hire said convicts as they may aeem most beneficial to the State. All contractors shall be required to givo security to the State for the faithful performance of their contracts, in such amount as the directors in their judgment may think proper. This law was drafted by a Democratic committee, passed by a Democratic Leg islature and signed by a Democratic Governor. It embodies the same mfa mons principle that prevails in tho Southern States. For a long time past it has been the means of bringing con vict labor in competition with free la bor in this State. It has been a disturb ing factor in the wage question and has been the means of crippling more than one industry. THE CONSPIRACY OF BLUSTER. Friday night the Democratic man agers gave tho order to all their subor dinates in every State, "Claim every thing." At once the cry was set up in every State, "We have already elected Cleveland' At once disp&tchea wcro sent to the Cleveland headquarters from nearly every State that Cleveland would carrT it. It is a very venerable trick. It was started in 18C4, when Lincoln was beset by the Democratic Golden Circles nnd the war was declared a failure. Then, a few days before the election, the Dcm-

ocratie national chairman announced

that McCIellan was sure of election. He rot one Northern State. It waa the same in 18CS, but the Democracy would not have carried a second State in the North had not Boss Tweed returned 20,000 votes in New York which were not cast Four years ago the Democratic press made the same noise it is now making, but Harrison, with all the Cleveland influence in office, carried all but two Northern States. It was wind, and nothing but wind. It is wind now; they imagine that they can stampede the' Republican party the party of in telligence. They will fail now, as in the past Every Republican should see that bis ballots are not defaced when he receives them from the precinct officers. PE0UD OF IT. Twenty-eight years ago this election, thousands of young men gave their first votes to Abraham Lincoln while in the rifle-pits. Every one of those so doing and living to-day is proud to mention the fact but no man who voted the Democratic ticket that year, on a plat form declaring the war a failure, is proud of it General Harrison is on the same line, and twenty-eight years hence these young men who give their first votes to Harrison will be proud to mention It Harrison was then in the field, a Lincoln soldier, while Cleveland was carrying an anti-Lincoln torch in Buffalo, having sent a substitute to the war, and Stevenson was organizing opposition to the Lincoln government as a Knight of the Golden Circle. Evert Republican should see that his ballots are not defaced when he receives them from the precinct officers. NO REGISTRATION NECE8SART. The recent decision of the Supreme Court does away entirely with the reg istry provision of the new law. Under it no registration is necessary in any case, and those who have registered or who have been in doubt as to whether they ought to register should dismiss all consideration of the subject. The only qualifications requisite for voting are legal age and residence within the State six months, within the township sixty days and within the ward or precinct thirty days before the election. Evert Republican should see that his ballots are not defaced when he receives them from the preciuct officers. AID FOR BRITISH C0SQRES3UEN. It is stated in New York that Daniel Lamont brought the $250,000 contribution of the British manufacturers, and a portion of it was sent to Indiana. As every Democratio Representative voted to transfer the cotton-tie business to Europe and to destroy every tin-plate enterprise here the British manufactur ers should help their representatives out, as they did in 1880, 1884 and 1888. Evert Republican should see that his ballots are not defaced when he receives them from the-precinct officers. AN OLD SLANDER REVIVED. The Bynum people have sent out a circular asserting that Mr. Henry was the author of tho conspiracy act. Bynuni's people know that Senator Tnrpie, who is asking re-election, was the author of the code in which it was included, and for which Senator Henry voted, as did every memberof both Sen ate and House, Democrats as well as Re publicans. - The Republicans of Indiana have the prestige of victory to inspire them to day. They have carried the State in every presidential election since and including 18G0, except two. They carried it in 1800. 1881, 1803, 1872. 1880 and 1888. The Democrats carried it in 1376 and 1884. With a fair election, a full vote and hon est count Indiana is always Republican on national issues. Every Republican should see that his ballots are not defaced when ho receives them from the precinct officers. A. E. A., Anderson: Dynunva name was not presented in the House Democratic cau cus for the speakership. No one ever thought of Bynum in that connection ex cept Bynum and the SentineL Bynum re tired in favor of Mills, and promised Mills the delegation, but a majority voted against Mills.

Then, taking his seat "he completed, ia the most deft and workmanlike manner, the mosaio he had commenced, according to the methods she learned when a little Archduchess with no idea of becoming a queen.

For the first time in the history of Trinity Catholie Church there was no service yesterday The break was caused by the discovery of the body of George J anke. the sacristan. Banging high in the church spire after the congregation had filled the cburoh. The greatest excitement prevailed for a time after Father Conrad dismissed the congregation with the explanation that some thing terrible had happened. Janke had been sacristan of the church for five years, fie rang the bell for services Saturday at vespers and that was the last seen of him. When Father Conrad found that his roue had not been laid out for service as usual he inquired for Janke. and, not finding him, a search was immediately inaugu rated. The searchero finally climbed to the belfry, where they found Janke's body hanging on the highest beam. Father Conrad waa notitiVd. end he immediately dismissed the congregation.

A general melee was precipitated by several citizens over politics, when Miles Hanlon grabbed a pop-bottle lying near, ana bnrled it at Ed Kirkwood, hit ting him on the neck, breaking and cutting the jugular vein, severing it Ths injured man lived until this morning, when he died. Hanlon immediately made hit escape after the deed, bnt waa elosely pnr sueo by men on horseback. However, he ran into a large wood and escaped. Dili gent search is still being maao for him.

He saw three visitors in all Mr. Foster, of the State Department; General Schotield, . and finally, about 4:30 o'clock, Mr. Blaine. Mr. Foster called on business of the State department. General Scbofield to pay bis respects. Mr. Blaine came to extend to tho President, In person, the expression of sympathy which he had conveyed to him by letter at the time of the death of Mrs, Harrison. He came in a carriage, which he picked up at the cab-stand opposite his house. It was sprinkling when he came to the door, and he signaled for a public carriage, and it was driven to tho White House. The sign "closed" was on the door; bnt the door-keeper recognized the former Secretary of State and opened the doors to him without question. He went up stairs, and, through the door-keeper of the President's office, sent in his card. The last time he was in the White Houso office, it ras to confer with the President by appointment, and he walked into the President's office unannounced, f The President, however, has seen no one -except by card ddring the past week. The President was in his oflice when Mr. Blaine was announced. He gave instructions to admit him immediately. No ou was present at their meeting. They remained in conversation for about fifteen minutes. Then Mr. Blaine came out and. going down stairs, took his hired hacli again and was driven back to the big red house across the square.

Mr. Blaine could not well have called earlier. He chose the first available opportunity to oiler to the President an expression ot the sympathy which he undoubtedly feels for his lormer chief in this his hour of sorrow.
