OH! THIS IS

AWFUL

Indiana Republicans Have a Veritable Picnic, Capturing Many Democratic Strongholds And Doing Pretty Much as They Please. DEMOCRATS ARE SULLEN And Refuse to Betake Themselves to the Polls, Or When Ther, Vote with the Opposition, And Thus Give Aid and Comfort the Enemy. Terre Haute Gor Overwhelmingly Republican Portland, "Wabash, Lafayette, South. Brad, tt Albanyanil Seymour Among Those Which Kollow Suit A Split in the Democratic Ranks at Ft. "Wayne Gives That City to the Republicans The Democrat Make lllj? Gains at Madilon, Covington nod a Few Other Points The Painful Story of a. A Vet and Disagreeable Day. The republicans of Indiana held an election Tuesday. The democrats didn't participate to any appreciable extent except in a very few localities. As a rule they seem to, have regarded Tuesday as a good day to po fishing. In Borne localities like Ft. Wayne, for instance purely local questions caused the democratic defeat. But these local troubles will not account for the general result. The reason for that must be pought for elsewhere that is the honest truth of the matter. A study of the localities in which the democratic defeats were most pronounced and the party mangement in those localities may prove Instructive ai.d certainly highly interesting1. There is nothing in the situation to cause fear for the future if the party fwill but face the conditions presented iboldly and fearlessly put itself at once on the right track. The result of yesterday will prove beneficial next November If its purport is properly understood and promptly met. There are more democrats than republicans in Indiana, Let them assert themselves and victory is theirs in November. FT. WAYAE REPIBLICAX. 'A Democratic Split Causes the Loss of the City. FT. "WAYNE, Ind., May 1. Special. The day opened with a thunder-shower, but the skies cleared in a few minutes after the polls opened. At noon twothirds of the entire vote of the city had been cast. The party workers used every effort to get out the entire vote, and when the polls closed tonight the most exciting battle of ballots ever held in Ft. Wayne was over. The democrats, republicans and independents had complete tickets in the field for the city offices and councilmen. The fight was made against the democratic nominees on the grounds that the saloon men manipulated the finances and secured the nomination of Shamhaugh for mayor by fraud. The gentinel and Staatz-Zeitung, both democratic papers, published these charges in glaring headlines. The democrats claimed that the republican nominating convention was captained by the A. P. A. and the battle was wagci on these lines and party ties were at times lost sight of. Even the republican papers were lukewarm in the support of tiie heads of the ticket. The Headquarters of the various candidates were ciowded tonight by hundreds of enthusiastic politicians and the town was wild with excitement, even Xnore pronounced than on the occasion of the national election. Oakley, republican, was elected mayor by a majority of 540. and Jeffries, republican, for city clerk, was elected by a email majority. The indications at midnight are that llalberhorn, republican, for water-works trustee, has defeated Gräfte, democrat. McCulIoch and Bittler, the other two democratic candidates for water-works trustees, were elected by about three liundred majority. Kelley. independent, for mayor, and Caroll, populists, did not poll 400 votes together. The entire democratic council-at-large ticket Griebel, Möhr, Fisher, McDonald and "Waltemath is elected by majorities ranging from 200 to 300. The democrats also elected Tilgar, Somers, Scheid and Borkenstein ward councilmen and the republicans carried for councilmen six of the ten wards, electing Glenn, Young, Wolf, Ilild, Soesch and Kelver. The council will stand nine democrats to six republicans. AT VOOIUIEES'S HOME. The Republican Have Everything' Their Own "Way. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 1. Spetial. The greatest political revolution in the history of the city occurred today when the republicans re-elected Mayor Ross by about 900; Charles Raich, city .treasurer, by about 500, and Charles II. Goodwin, city clerk, by over 1,000. Two years ago, at the last city election, the city went republican by 120, that being Mayor Ross's majority.

County Chairman Keefer marshaled the republican forces under the advice and direction of ex-United States Treasurer Nebeker and Judge Lewis. Notwithstanding this the democrats swept everything except two councilmen. When the result was announced the democrats went wild for a time, a band was secured which marched through the Btreets playing lively air3, while the crowd3 cheered the successful candidates. The majorities on the general ticket ranged from thirty to eight-one votes. C'onnersvllle Republican.

(From the General Manager of the Hecla Mining Company. GLENDALE, Beaverhead Co., Mont., April 24, 1894. Mr. Jacob C. Dunn, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir: Recently my friend, John C. McCutcheon, mailed me one dozen of your "The World's Silver Question." So far as I have read I consider nothing better has been written on this subject, the most important that has ever confronted the human family, because it touches every home. Your views as expressed and set forth In your bonk have been mine for years and since 1S73 have regarded all silver legislation cowardly and simply done for political catch vote advantage. The silver question is not a question that concerns a few "mine-owners." it is the question "that troubleth Israel" the world over. From the destruction of silver has come forth unrest, idleness, grangers, farmers, alliance, populist. Coxey, poverty, starvation and history may repeat itself and close the grand opera with the French revolution. Universal bimetallism upon a fixed and acceptable ratio will in my opinion give to the human race new life, hope and happiness, and nothing else will. Yours truly, H. KNIPPENBERG. HE PLEADS FOR VOTES, COL. BRECKINRIDGE'S APPEAL TO HIS COXSTITl'EXTS. The Occasion One of the Most Memorable in the History of Leslnston The Speaker's Defiance to the Minister's 1 nlnn The Women of the IMtrlct Also Issue an Address to the Voters. LEXINGTON, Ky.. May 5. Col. William C. P. Breckinridge was greeted here today by an audience of 3,000 people, representing the voters of the Seventh congressional district and many people from the surrounding country. The speaking v.as in the opera house and a half hour before Col. Breckinridge arrived the auditorium was full of people. When he advanced toward the stage from the rear entrance the audience stood up and yelled wildly for ten minutes. The colonel was filled with emotion, which shook him from head to foot. He made the most powerful address ever delivered to a Kentucky audience. When he spoke of the action of the ministers' union in this city, which took action against him, he assumed the most defiant look and strained every nerve in his body. His fists were closed and his expression was that of a brave man thoroughly enraged. He gave the public press some very hard flings and when he said that he had no criticism for the judge who sat in the trial, fifty voices shouted at once: "I have; I have." The reception was certainly enthusiastic, and while every man in the house will not cast his vote for Breckinridge it was plainly to be seen that he had many friends who intend to stand by him. After reviewing his boyhood life at Lexington, public services in the confederate army and in congress. Col. Breckinridge said: "I do not wish this district to conceive that I have any defense to make for what I have done, and of which I have been guilty. Entangled by weakness, by passion, by sin, in coils which it was almost impossible to break, I did everything that was within my power to prevent a public scandal, except the one thing which for no moment ever entered my mind. . . "Your re-election of me can neither takfe from nor add to the punishment I have suffered. It has not been noerisy that my life has not been consistently wrong; I knew the secret sin; I tried to atone for it in ways that It Is not becoming in me to more than allude to. How many kind words did this atonement produce to others; how much of self-control, and how much of selfsacrifice; how much of earnestness and labor in aid of good things and to good causes? When 1 came to make a public utterance under any circumstances to any audience, how cautious was I that no word of mine might tempt others to be guilty as I was guilty. "Now that exposure has come there Is an element of gladness in it. I care not now what letters come in my mail; I care not now for the closet door to be opened there Is no skeleton there; and I can go Into the clear sunlight out of misery and look up through the blue skies into the upper world with the feeling that there is no cloud there. I am not afraid that from the horizon will suddenly come a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning that will destroy me and mine. This is of the past. I will wear with me the scars, but I will not longer carry the dread. I will come out of that storm, however long It may last, in some respects, conqueror. Sweet domestic relations, which I absolutely need and out of which I have no life, are mine. , "The extent of mv guilt was truthfully confessed by ma to its uttermost boundaries without justification or palliation. To that extent I was guilty; beyond that I was innocent. Whatever charge of any kind made against me by any person not confessed in that testimony, for the truth of which I appealed to God. is false. I desire this acknowledgment and denial to be fully understood that there may be no misunderstanding hereafter. In your presence today and in the presence of the district I rereat that for that sin of which I was guilty I have no justification, no palliation, and I ask no condonation. "If some one in your midst can j better do the work you want done as your representative, choose him; choose one whose life has been stainless; whose morals your young men can imitate with profit; whose days have been pure and whose nights have been sinless; whose ability Is ample, whose experience is wide. When some one comes to write i history, whatever blame may attach to me, he will write of me that, even with that blame, he loved the poor, he toiled for his fellow men. he labored for good cavses; loyal to principles, faithful to truth, devoted to you."
