A 3Icholson-IIUl Fenture In the Greene County Court. Last week at BloomfleU, Greene county, the Circuit Oouii decided a case that -was appealed from the Boacd of County Commissioners. A remonstrance was filed against granting- a saloon license. It contained th required number of name, but before the day for the hearing before the commL'sioners the saloon men secured enough withdrawals to reduce the number below that were required to make the remonstrance effective. The County Commissioners decided that a man could not withdraw hi name, when it had once bfen placed on tho petition and refused the lleent The case was appealed to the Circuit Court and it was held that a man couli withdraw his name. Mr. Nicholson was asked last nlsht what he thought of thecase. lie said: "I have talked, with attorneys on that subject and almost all of them say that it la eviicntly the Intent of tho law that the remonstrance must contain enough names when completed, and that It 1 not necessary that it contain th names o the required number at the last moment, or In other words that the fact of its filing completes it and it cannot then be changed. The law provides that .It must be filed three days before the meeting- and surely dees not contemplate Kivinsr the saloon man an opportunity during- the Interveningthree days to secure withdrawals. This Tvould be a natural conclusion of a court from the fact that to allow withdrawals after this time would open up. the means for the saloon men to buy off th remonxtrators. The attorneys I havo talked with d5 not Relieve- thi decision would hold in tie Supreme Court." She Wm vrlth Other Men. James Massey and his wife. Vine Masc?y, caused a disturbance on East Washington street last nl?ht and were arrested. llzssey and his wife have not been living together for aome time, and according to the woman's story she has been In company with other men which has displeased her husband. He has been watching her an 1 last nlpht followed her to the restaurant when he attempted to make her ko home, and was arrested by patrolman Iticnardson and Steinruok.

FLOWED LIKE WATER

TAMMAXV HAD mKE IlEKIt OX TAP EVERYWHERE YESTERDAY. KeffM of the Amber FInltl I)Uicnetl Two Doom from TnKifnrt Committee Iloomih-Police Stopped It. SALOONS WERE ALL CLOSED 0 PLACE IV TOW. WHERE THE LIQUOR WAS SOLD. Police AVnteheil the Violators Closely Kegs Sent hy the Committee to Private Renldeiiccs. Those persons who anticipated that yesterday would be an open Sunday simply because It was the last Sunday before election were cadly disappointed. The laws were enforced as they have been for the last two years. The reports made toy the patrolmen last evening were of the same nature as those of many past Sundays. But two or three saloons are reported as violating- the law, and these took desperate chances at being caught. Probably a half dozen places had the indications of doing a little business, but officers were placed at these few places, and if there was any business being conducted it was stopped. JTotwithstanding the observance of the law by the saloon men, considerable beer was turned afloat by the Democratic city committee. A number of "precinct meetings' w-ere held In the south and southwestern parts of the city. These meetings were held In private rooms or houses and the police could not obtain admittance. Most of them were of the invitational nature, the owner of the house or room sending out Invitations to a few acquaintances and treating them to beer upon their arrival. The most pretentious meeting of the day was that at the notorious Shelby .House,' on Shelby street, run by William. iieatty, who has given the police much trouble during the last two years. All day yesterday there was a Democratic meeting in the room above the saloon. The police and strangers were refused admittance, only the friends and customers of Mr. Beatty being allowed to enter. Mr. Beatty at one time was a preacher, but he fell from grace and started In the saloon business. He is a smooth talker and his tongue has been used freely during this campaign In behalf of Mr. Taggart. Mr. Beatty at one time was president of the Liquor League of the State, but he and the other members of the league had a disagreement. He insists that he has net been violating the law, yet the appearance of a policeman In front of his place sets him wild, and Is sufficient cause to bring 'him to police headquarters to Intercede in behalf of himself. Yesterday hre- said the law was not being disobeyed In his place, for he said the crowd was gathered tor "tho purjsose of disseminating Democratic doctrine." From the street the noise from the room above the saloon indicated that Democratic doctrine was being disseminated. From the appearance of things about the place there were many who wanted Democratic doctrine and many seemed to have been filled with it. The meeting was a protracted one, for it began early, lasted all morning and afternoon, and there was a meeting of 'the committee" last night. Two doors from the Democratic city committee rooms there were indications of more "dlpscmlnation" of Democratic doctrine. All. during the day crovvus of heelers and the element to which the party ia looking for success, poured to the vicinity. Many of. them went to the committee rooms and then came down with a lighter step, as if they had received a cue. In the doorway to the east stood a man who greeted those coming down from the committee rooms. In threes and fours the crowd was steered into the entrance .of the block over which hans the sign "European Hotel." There are saloons on Illinois street, but the entrance chosen by the Democratic sheep was not tho one leadinj? to the ealoons. Two men stood at the entrance way and no one va9 allowed pas back In the hallway unless he showed himself to be all right. In a room at th end of the hallway were several kegs of beer on tap Yesterday afternoon about twenty men stood around this entrance and that leading to the beer. Men passed In and out. Some camo forth wiping their mouths and a number came forth staggering. One man, somewhat under the. influence of liquor, tried to- address the crowd, late In the afternoon, but one of the doorkeepers silenced him and led him away. The intoxicated man got far enough in his speech to predict that Tagsrart will be elected "hy five thousand majority, 'cause the boys are for him." Last evening the police learned of this place, running in the shadow of tho Democratic committee rooms, and an officer was stationed there. The appearance of an officer of tho law had a sal effect on the crowd and the business was suspended. As the entrance to the beer room was not one to a saloon the police did not at first suppose beer was being distributed therein, but the number of drunken men so increased that it became necessary to seek a cause. An effort was made by two special officers to reach the room where the beer was being dispensed, but so many had to be passed and st many questions answered that all indications of violation was concealed before the Inside was reached. , , , Yesterday morning there was a choice Kathering of the Democratic workers of South West street In a room kept by Patrick Ward, at the corner of Illinois and McCarty streets. Ward Is an ardent supporter of Taggart. He has no license at present, but has been running a sort of a "temperance saloon." Yesterday morning-, near the hour of 9, it was observed that quite a number were going Into the temperance saloon. It was one of those Invitational affairs. Special officers Lewis and Sutphin watched the proceedings for a time and then forced their way into the hack room. A keg of beer was found on a horse. There were glasses and beer fumes. Frank Rohds was acting as master of ceremonies and he was promptly arrested for selling liquor without a license and selling or giving away liquor on Sunday. The indignation of those present know no bounds. Taggart stock jumped to Every man vowed to vtte for Mr. Taggart and a number said that if Mr. Tagsrart were Mayor a man "could get drunk if he pleased and it would tx nobody's business." One man said the Democrats would show the "goody-good" people a few things at the coming election, but notwithstanding this indignation the bartender had to ride in the patrol. All in all yesterday was a very quiet day and the licensed places gave little or no trouble. SOUTH CAROLINA PLAY. The Colored 3Ien Will Hnve Xiwstht to Do vlth Democrat. A, prominent negro minister, In discussing tho political situation last night, was asked if he thought Taggart would get many of the votes of the colored people. "He will get none of them," he said, "but I don't see bow .ny colored man who has read the proceedings of the South Carolina constitutional convention during the past week can cast a vote for any man who Is identified with the Democratic party. I would sooner take a thousand lashes on ray bare back than to vote for a member of the party that has declared that the negro of South Carolina shall hereafter be simply on a par with the mule he drives In the cotton field. I can remember very well when I was merely a beast cf burden for these men that are now assembling for the purpose of disfranchising the negro of South Carolina. I have felt the lash for things that were no fault of mine, and had no redress. M? master had the control of my life: if he killed me. it was all right in the eyes of th law. The Republican party fought our battles In the North for ye.irs, and then went South and died for u. What more could any man do? '(Jreater love hath no man than this; that he lay down his life for, his ft tends That Is what the Republicans of this country have done, and I am willing to repay ;hem by showing my gratitude by my vote. ' "The Democrats have never done-'-ny. thirj fcr t3 t!:.li can. Jt:y were tho

slave owners, and to-d.iy the solid South stands as a menace to us for ages to come. Every year there is eomething new coming from the South to show that It is only through the Republicans of the North that we can hope to retain our political freedom. It was only a few years ago that the State of Mississippi passed a registration law that has cut off nearly three-fourths of the colored vote of that State, and now comes South Carolina with a constitutional amendment that' will do even worse than that. The colored people of this city have not passed that thing by unnoticed, either. Before that was printed there were some that were Inclined to vote the Democratic ticket, because there was nothing fresh In their minds to show them that their friends are on the other ticket: but now it is different. This new evidence that the Democrats are doing everything possible to lessen the vote of the colored man has brought them to their senses, and now they aro working for the Republican ticket as they never did before. It showa them that they have no s?curity In their rights as long as the Democrats control any part of this country. No, sir; jou can rest assured that the colored people are not going to turn their backs on the ones they recognize to be their friends." Tairsrnrt Snnday Deer. That bountiful generosity for which Thomas Taggart, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, ha3 very recently become famous was illustrated again last night In the usual way. On Saturday one of his henchmen announced, in an' EJdy-street neighborhood, that free beev would be furnished the voters Sunday night. Three kegs of beer were unloaded at a hou?e near Merrill street. Shortly after dark last night the guests began to arrive. By S o'clock the two little rooms were filled with men, and the beer was put on tap. The sounds of merriment and clinking glasses couli be heard out in the- street, but no one was admitted except those who had been let into the secret. The householder watched the door and permitted no one to eater who was not expected. Mr. Taggart did not grace the rooms with hi3 smiling presence, but the crowd drank a great many times to his success. REMARKS OF JUROES

EVIDENCE IX THE PETITION FOR EW TRIAL IX HIXSHAW CASE. Men' AVho Hnd Formed Opinions mid Then Went on the Jar j Hnrber Foster's Story. Report comes from Danville, where W. E. Hinshaw was tried and convicted for the murder of his wife, that when the motion for a new trial Is made by the defense, there will probably be some sensational charges made. The nature of these" charges is not made known, but in the same connection it is said hat. statements made concerning certain members of the jury are to be considered. It Is openly charged by some that certain members of the Jury were sworn although they had previously expressed their belief in the defendant's guilt. The expression cf one of the Jurors that "they thought the verdict would meet public approval" is regarded as significant and the defense will probably use it to show that the verdict was prompted by public sentiment. Fr?m Lebanon there comes another point which is to be brought to the attention of the defense. The story was reported in this city by a resident of Lebanon, who Is" acquainted with ono of the Hinshaw Jurors. This Lebanon man reports that this juror, whose name is not made known, stated . in the presence of a number of people the last week; "If we had not convicted him, but acquitted him, he would have been, hung that night." This statement, if It can be substantiated, may prove .an important point in the claims for a new trial. If the statement expresses an opinion formed before the jurywas excused it indicates that the members, or a't least one, were acquainted with the demands of the public. Another story going around is credited to a West Washington-street merchant who is acquainted with one of the Jurors. This man says all of his Information of the case was furnished by this juror, and that before the trial. The jur"or then ?aid he waa convinced of Hinshaw's guilt. Jn selecting the jury no effort was made to secure men who knew rtothinff of the case or had no opinions. Each Juror was asked If he had any opinions which could not be changed byt a preponderance of evidence and the twelve men selected answered that they had riot. If any of these twelve had convlctlbns of Hinshaw's guilt they were not shaken by the evidence Introduced. Judge Hadley has confidence in the honesty of the Jurors and he says he knows they acted as they thougrht right. E. S. Foster, a barber at the corner of Washington and Illinois streets, has some lnformatjn on the case which he proposes to give to the attorneys for the defense to-day. He says several months ago a man answering the description of Juror William Hunt came to the shop and was shaved by him. Foster identifies the customer as Hunt hy the pictures published of the latter. The Hinshaw case was discussed and tho customer expressed a conviction that the accused was guilty. The customer said he was from Hendricks county and on leaving the shop asked where Henry Spaan, the attorney, could be found. Tho following was received from Danville last nifiht: "Judge Iladley's mall is abnormally large, ho receiving letters - from all kinds and conditions of people upon the verdict. These letters are not confined to this State, but are from far and near. Judges have written him; attorneys have written him. Their opinions upon the case are as diverse as those fromi men In any ether walk in life, almost every one of them, however, adding tho condition to their opinion, 'if tho press reports were true Many cf the letters contain no comment upon the verdict, but simply congratulatory remarks over the i clearness and conciseness of the Judge's instructions. Within a day or so letters from ministers havo been pouring in. These are ministers in the Methodist Church, and the 'burden of their plea is that the defendant be granted a new trial. They do not evidently consider that this point can only be determined from a legal standpoint when the defendant's counsel files the motion for a new trial. They seem to think that sympathy will decide it. In this appeal for a new trial are letters from ministers in all the Methodist conferences In the State, from presiding elders as well as from stationed ministers. "Mr. Hinshaw has In a measure recovered his usual equanimity. Yesterday morning he remarked to Sheriff Bell: 'Mr. Bell, you have treated me well here. 1 could not have received better treatment than from you, and I want to say to you before I go to prison that I am an innocent man Mr. Hinshaw's effects have been moved from the parsonage and also from the jail. The motion for a new trial will probably be disposed of this week. His friends continue to visit him, and yesterday quite a number were up." Lnld Down and Died. William Burk, who has been rooming at Patrick Manly's house, corner of California and Maryland streets,. went Into his room to lie down last night about 7 o'clock, and was found dead shortly afterward. The remains were taken in charge by Deputy Coroner Bigger. The man is supposed to have been afflicted with heart disease. Wheel In IS'evr York. Philadelphia Times. The bicycle craze In the metropolis has also extended to the club men to such an extent that the social organizations to which they belong have found themselves obliged to fix up special rooms for the comfort and en re of those who ride the wheel. The Catholic Club, which Is the latest organization to bow to the Inevitable, has not only set apart an apartment where the bikes can be stored while the owners are enjoying the club's hospitality, but has al?o provided locker rooms, . baths and attendants, Intended solely for those ,who have just returned from a sweating ppin through Central Park. In the plans that bave been drawn for tho new New York Athletic Club very ample provision Is made far the bicyclists. Most of the hotels that are situated near the park have a bicycle room, where their patrons may check their wheels and have them cared for and even repaired. Enthusiasts predict that the time is near when many New Vork women will reach the stores, where they do their shopping, on wheels, and that accommodations will bo provided for the. care of them and men stationed In front of great establifbrnerxs to catch the charming dlsmounters, Instead of being obliged to open the door of my lady's carriage, as is the custom et the present time.

OUTLOOK FOR PACKERS

INDIANAPOLIS HAS FARED INt'SUALLY WELL THIS SEASON. Local Flour 31111s Running at Only One-IInlf Cnpnclty Notes of the Industries. Indianapolis packing houses have, since the 1st of March, the beginning of the summer packing season, killed 269.40O hogs, against 243.000 for the corresponding period of 1S23, an Increase this year of 24,400 hogs. The fifteen packing house points which report have slaughtered this season 7.CS3.000 hogs. Indianapolis and Kansas City are the only points where more hogs were killed since March 1 than last year. The local packers take a cheerful view of matters. Stocks held are light everywhere and 'it looks as If they were to have a good fall business and make some profits on the business they do. For the last three years the packers have not profited as they should through their business and feel that it Is now time for things to come their way. The Parry Company Rnlldlnes. A large force of bricklayers and carpenters are at work on the new building the Tarry Manufacturing Company Is erecting on South Illinois street. The building now going up Is 135 by SS feet, four stories high, with a basement story besides. This company has the plans prepared f6r another building to be erected opposite this, which will be four stcries high, with a basement story, 221 feet by 100 feet and to be built in the same substantial manner the present building is. The company then proposes to connect the two buildings by a tunnel under South Illinois street. The new buildings will be lighted by electricity and the cars on ..which they will move material in the rough from one building to another and the finished work will be run by electricity. President Parry says it is the intention to make it the largest and most complete carriage building worka In the country. The Flour Ontpnt. In September local mills turned out but 62,431 barrels of flour, against 91.768 barrels in September of last year, a decrease this year of 29,314 barrels. Not In any month since the new crop of wheat came on to the market have local mills turned out as much flour as In the corresponding months of 1894. There' are - two causes for this. The quality of wheat they require has been difficult to purchase and then the export trade has been at a very low ebb. Of late there has been some improvement In home trade, but foreign business is disappointing and the wheat market is so unsettled that It requires the most skillful manipulation on the part of the millers to make both ends meet. Local mills are running now abcut cne-half their capacity. Nearly Ready to llejsln Operation. Haugh, Nolke & Co., who are to have one' of the largest plants for the manufacture of iron structural work, have their buildings all completed and are now putting in the machinery, much of which is heavy and of the most approved type. Hetherlngton & Berne r last week delivered to them a monster lathe for turning columns, its weight being 25,OuO pounds. The lathe will face both ends of a column thirty inches in diameter at the same time. All of the machinery will be in by the first of next month and within a short time work will beln. When In full operation the works expect to employ in all depart ments two hundred, or more men. Industrial Note. G. H. Shover Is building for D. M. Parry a trap of novel construction, and a hundsome vehicle which will carry twelve people. -. The junk and scrap iron dealers are In clover and gathering up all the old iron they can, as they are now getting 30 per cent, more on prices than a year ago. The. walls of the new office building of the Indiana Bicycle Company are up and ready for the roof.. When completed it will be one of the finest! DfSce buildings in the city. Local parties are figuring on the forming of a company with large capital to manufacture tine carriages. The scheme is still in such a stage as not to permit the giving of full details. The Water Company has the stone wora for their new plant-completed and President Davis says It is the heaviest and most substantial foundation west of the Alleghany mountains. . Daggett & Company have got Into their new quarters, and now have S0.2SO feet of fioorroom, conveniently arranged for their business, and this enables the firm to increase its production largely. The Indiana Coffee Company has become one of Indiana's most Important industries. It is stated that no local concern Imports goods calling for large exchange, but recently oue lot of coffee Imported by this company required - a bill of exchange amounting to $30,000. Hetherlngton & Berner have In the last month shipped five ' of the large milling lathes which they manufacture to Eastern manufacturing points. To have large lathes shipped to Eastern points from Indianapolis is such a change in manufacturing interests as to excite comment. The Bellis Bicycle Company has got the rooms recently leased in addition to the building occupied by th Indianapolis Electric Light Company, fitted up and is putting in new machinery. This additional room will enable the company to increase its force twenty-flv men. The new building to be occupied by the Munger Cycle Company, which A. Brunner is erecting, is well under way. It will give this company 20.000 feet additional Moor room. The company now employs 116 men and will, when it has the additional room, increase the number to 200 men. The Crystal Ice Company has decided to double its capacity and have the new plant ready for spring trade. In addition to making one hundred tons of Ice a day. it will erect a large sold storage warehouse. The contract for machinery, awarded to Chandler & Taylor Company, includes 500 horse power of boilers, together with the necessary pumps, tanks, etc. The new stock yard enterprise moves slowly, and the indications are that not before spring will the company be in shape to begin operations. Its chief trouble is in getting a switch to its grounds. President I jams, of the Indianapolis Stock lards and Belt Road Company, having seemingly the advantage in the matter of right of way to the grounds of tho new company. The prosperity of the Southern States Is opening up a large field for Indianapolis Industries. The South has for a year furnished a good market for Indiana grain and hog products, but with the increase in business in all lines there has been an Increased demand for northern labor-saving inventions. This is shown in a sale by Nordyke, Marmon & Co. last week. The concern sold to the Delta Cotton Company, of Memphis, Tenn., of which Mr. Albert S. Caldwell, formerly of Ind la "Hs. is president, eight corn meal mills for their different plantations. Ellis & Helfenberger, foundry men, report their trade as excellent. This firm has a large Southern trade. Last week they received a large order for iron fence under rather singular circumstances. In a town in the southern part of the State a widow had a piece of ground which the town authorities were anxious to secure for a cemetery, and the woman, being in good circumstances, offered to donate the ground providing the citizens would make up a purse to surround it with a handsome iron fence. The citizens took kindly to the proposition and raised the several hundred dollars required and last week Placed an order for the fence with this, establishment. Neture'n Law Defended. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In the Journal's report of Dr. J. P. D. John's reply fo Ingersoll I read with surprise the following paragraph: "Referring to Ingersotl's . deification of nature, the speaker showed that nature is savage, for it gives no quarter; that it is cruel, for it leaves man and beast to writhe in untold torture from fire, famine, pestilence and flood: that it is "unjust, for the Innocent suffer with the guilty; that it is partial, for it helps the strong and oppresses the weak: that it is unfaithful, for it makes promises which it does not keep; that it is immoral, for by the law of the survival of the fittest the weak become the slaves of the strong. Thus, continued Dr. John, if tho apparent moral obliquity of the God of nature Is reconcilable with the moral rectitude which men demand that he must possess, then all similar moral objections to the God of the Bible must disappear. This does not prove the God of the Bible to be a reality, but that He is equally possible with the God of nature, and i9 that without moral obliquity. If nature can have god whoe Infinite perfection is not irreconcilable with its ttern realities, tho

same is true of the Bible. But nature is a fact, and if it have a governor his character must be in harmony with his government." This Is stranse lo?ie. The concluding sentence strongly intimates that Dr. John does not believe nature has a governor with the attributes of a God. The first portion of the paragraph positively assumes that if nature has a governor he is cruel. Implacable, tyrannical and wholly without sympathy, justice or intelligence. This is one of the most antiquated of the orthodox notions touching God's relations to nature. The old faith assumed that God's moral government was wholly distinct from the operations of the material universe. This was the orthodox way of apologizing for what the church (and Dr. John) has assumed to be the cruelty or Indifference of nature. The churchman had found it Impossible to reconcile the apparent blind, dumb and feelingless government of nature with the postulated benevolence and Infinite goodness of the Christian Deity. So 'the two governments were separated, one being designated the moral government of God and the other left without special classification, but under suspicion of being manipulated by the devil. Dr. John will. find it difficult to enforce conviction by teaching the antiquated doctrine that the laws which govern the world and the universe are blind, purposeless or fiendish. The tendency of all modern scientific Instruction Is to recognize in the laws of nature a wise and benevolent purpose. The true philosophy is bravely voiced by Tennyson when lie says: VYet I doubt not through the aes one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of man are widened by the process of the suns." The Doctor's specifications are not fairly stated. He says "nature Is savage, for it gives no quarter." He who understands nature will not speak of this in reproof. Human laws and the principles cif Justice and equity are based upon the idea of "no quarter;" that is, no compromise with those who are guilty of Infractions. The processes of nature are without the element of mercy. So It Is with the processes of justice. Meddle carelessly with fire and nature inflicts a burn. Disregard the prohibitions of human law and the dispenser of penalties cannot afford to ignore the offense. Is nature cruel? So must be the hangman. Does nature make the innocent Buffer with the guilty? So must the written law. Ignorance of the prohibition and penalty can only be pleaded In mitigation; and that is, after all, merely an appeal for mercy and a plea for Ignorance. Does nature "help the strong and oppress the weak?" Is there any human law that does not? Is there any other way to impress upon humanity the necessity of acquiring strength, fortitude, heroism? ' Is nature "unfaithful in promising what- it cannot fulfill?" No! Nature never promised what it could not and did not fulfill, since creation. Is nature immoral, "because by the law of the survival of the fittest the weak become the slaves of the strong?" Would Dr. John have it otherwise In the moral or intellectual world? The weakest argument on earth is the plea of weakness. The stuff of which heroes and heroines are made Is happily free of that quality. The weakness of a tree is its rottenness. The weakness of a man is his imbecility. Even Involuntary weakness appeals to higher natures merely for their commiseration. The cry of the altruist comes from the cowardice of our natures. It is proper that only the fittest should survive. The theory of Christian ralvation is. that only the fittest shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. All the rest are to be "burned with unquenchable fire." : No assault upon nature or nature's laws will bear the scrutiny of reason. If one can imagine God to be proud of any of His works more than the rest, it must be of thoee which He "in. the beginning" Indorsed with His own high approval by pronouncing it "very good." JOHN C. OCHILTREE Richmond, Ind., Oct. 6. GAMBLERS' CARNIVAL

SCENES FOLLOWING DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN 1891 RECALLED. Courtesan Joined the Law-Breaker In Making: the Nlsht Hideous on the Levee.

Oct. 13, four years ago, Thomas ; L. Sullivan, was for the last time elected Mayor of Indianapolis, The date is memorable for many reasons, and hundreds of reputable citizens will recall with a blush of shame the night that followed that day. The scenes that took place on tho streets of this city between 10 o'clock and midnight are yet fresh In the minds of many, and it is an event only to be remembered with feelings of disgust. Before 10 o'clock the better element of citizens became convinced that the city was given over to an administration of lawlessness and went home disheartened. Then the worst element came forth. . A howling mob came out from every unholy walk of life and took possession of the streets. They were out to celebrate the election of men who would give them free license in nearly every, disreputable pursuit. On Illinois street a procession of gamblers, thugs and "cappers" formed in an irregular line and proceeded about the town. The gamblers were at the head of the procession. They belonged there. It was a triumphant march of lawlessness and crime, and the decent citizen who witnessed it could not but wonder what the end would be. As the night wore on the rrocesslon made its way to that part tit the 'city known as the "levee," and there it stopped at midnight. But the spectacle was not over. Every man who lent his voice to the din had helped to elect the ticket that meant two more, years of lawbreaking, and he felt that he ought to jollify. Soon the crowd was augmented by another class. The abandoned women of the town, aroused by the familiar sounds of ribald revelry, came from their abodes and hurried to the "levee." There they met their friends and joined In the drunken orgies. It was a jubilee of vice, but It was in perfect keeping with the administration that was to have control of the city. The city was already in the hands of the Sullivan men. and there was not a show even at police interference. The gambler and the "capper" and the thug saw glorious possibilities ahead. The day had ended in a victory for crime and lawlessness, and they were celebrating the prospect of a harvest. The cyprlan, with the brazen effrontery of her class mingled with the mob in the street ana the saloon. She only understood that a "wide-open town" was to continue and she rejoiced. Nearly all night drunken men and women boldly paraded the streets arm in arm unmolested. It is not likely that the people of Indianapolis want a repetition of those scenes. The very men who were most prominent in that disgraceful spectacle are hoping for an opportunity to repeat It with fuller details. For two years this element has been kept down and It is waiting for the announcement of the result next Tuesday. Should the free beer campaign cf Thomas Taggart culminate in a victory, the shameless crowd that took possession of the streets four years ago may be expected again next Tuesday night. The gambler recognizes in the election of Thomas Taggart his only safety, and the petty lawbreaker sees an easy avenue of escape with Charles Cox on the police bench. The "levee" would only wait for the assurance that these men are elected before beginning its disreputable ratification. WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES.
