Rensselaer Republican, Volume 20, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 April 1888 — THE STATE REPUBLICAN. [ARTICLE]

THE STATE REPUBLICAN.

With characteristic assurance and recklessness the Democratic papers of the state, under the lead of the Indianapolis- Sen- ! tinel, have been chaining that they carried the state, at the date township elections. Full returns jof the elections of trustees have ' been compiled and published by | Baker & Thornton, qf Indianapoj Its, the same reliable parties who compiled the entirely accurate returns in 1886. They give the names of every county m the state, the number and politics of its trustees. The summary shows that oil of the new trustees are Republicans, TOO are Democrats and 8 are Independent. Two years ago the number of Republican tiustees elected was exactly the same as this year. The Democrats then had 485, from which it will be seen that all they have gained in two years is the election of five democrats in place of that number of Independents, of two years ago. This election indicates a Ilepublicon majority of 10,000, the state.
