Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 May 1894 — VICTORIOUS EVERYWHERE. [ARTICLE]

VICTORIOUS EVERYWHERE.

THE REPUBLICANS TAKE EVERYTHING- IN SIGHT AT THE CITY ELECTIONS. The city ejections throughout Indiana Tuesday, tell the same storv of overwhelming Republican victories as all previous elections during the last eight m auths. We give a few sample items: Fort Wayne,- always Democratic elects a Republican mayor. Lafayette, usually Democratic, now strongly Ri publican. LaPorte, a Democratic stronghold, everything Republican except marshal and one councilman New Albany a clean sweep, except one councilman. Republicans never controled it before. Same is true of Decatur, where now the Dems only have the marshal. Logansport elects Rep. Mayor overcoming majority of 350 since last election.

Columbus Democratic for years, Reps now take everything. Terra Haute's Rep. majority largest ever known. Nine out of eleven councilmen. Frankfort, Crawfordsville, Goshen, clean Republican sweep. Tipton, Plymouth, Seymour, Columbus, Elwood, Huntington, South Bend, all Democratic last year, now gone Republican. Wabash, Crawfordsville, Connersville, Shelbyville, Muncie, Union City, Winchester, Bedford, Bloomington, Attica, Greencastle, all Republican, with BIG gains. The city of Hammond is completely turned over. It has been badly Democratic heretofore. This list of Republican victories might be indefinitely extended; but the fingers of one hand will count all the Indiana towns that show Democratic gains.
