A PAPER FOR THE PFOPLE.
THE RAMBLER.
VOTES AND OB8ERVATIOIC8 ON MATTERS ABOUND TOWN.
The Republicans have a hard fight before them in the eleetion next week, with the many odds against them. The present Council and Mayor have left an excellent record, and if merit was an assurance of continued succoess the next Council would be Republican by large majority. Bat merit is not always such assurance. Against them the Rc publicans have arrayed the candidates for various government positions, who think the eyes of the appointing power are upon them to decide by their work in the elec ion whether they are entitled to an office the friends of certain candi dates for nomination on the Republican ticket, who feel they haveagriev ance to right, and also the ex-po?icemea who were left out by the metropolitan bill, and who have a grievance them selves. The strongest factor in all these is that of the expectant holders of gov ernment office. The next morning after the Democratic convention they were out bright and early working for the ticket, strong in the belief that if it should succeed their chances of ap pointment would be increased. When it is taken into consideration that there area hundred or more candidates for these offices, each with a certain amount of influence, it can be seen, that it is a powerful factor in the race. It is all the more evident that Republicans should work, determined and earnest for the success of the ticket.
The slate makers were all at sea in re gard to the candidates for Council, al though many guessed the candidates on the general ticket, several days in ad •ance. The Republicans have a very strong ticket in the field, headed by Hugo Duenweg for Mayor. No man ever left an important public office with abetter record than Hugo Duenweg had when be retired from the office of City Treasurer. A recommendation like this will go a great way in drawing voles even though his opponent be as ex. sl lent a man, personally and in a business way, as Jacob Kolsem, the Democratic nominee. It is certainly a case of Qix ok against Greek, but if the Republicans will work they are sure of success, Charley Robinson was renominated, as be deserved, and with the excellent record he has made is morally certain of re-election. The other candidates on the Republican ticket, Jas. Dobson for Clerk, E. L. Keyes for Marshal, Fred Cornell for Assessor, are equally as strong, and will make a good race against their Democratic opponents who are respectively, Geo. W. Davis Frank Morrison, and Sbep Watson This city's undoubtedly Republican on a straight vote, and if the Repulicans do not carry it next Tuesday tlw fault will lie at their own doors.
The gas company appear to be taking a part—and a very "small" pare, by the way—in the spring election. If the Republican candidates are injured by this fight it is likely that the Republicans who are instrumental in it will be remembered by their friends In the party. The introduction of modern improvements such ss the electric light cannot be prevented in Terre Haute by the means that are now being used. We have a city here now, and village tactics will not work successfully.
The directors of the Agricultural So ciety and of the Trotting Association have a proposal from the streat car oompany, which if acted upon favorably will insure the extension of the atreet car track to (he fair grounds, and thereby add greatly to the attendance duiing the spring trotting meeting and tne fVr The proposition is that the two associations shall agree to pay the street car company five cents on each passenger carried to the fair ground, in addition to the regular fare charged eaoh passenger, vis.: ten cents each way. This would make tweniy-five cents on each passenger, this agreement to continue in force until the line has paid for itself, which it is thought will be done in the course of one year, or two at the farth est. If the line is completed a passen ger can reach the fair grounds from any place on the lines in the city for ten cents, which is very reasonable. The only reason the fairs, trotting meetings, etc., have not proved more successful, Is that the grounds are coo difficult of ao* cees. Once they oan be reached easily and at a reasonable expense, and the attendance will be greatly augmented. The proposition will no doubt receive favorable action by the associations to which It has been made, and in a few weeks we will have the street car track extended to the fair ground.
The Agricultural Society is making •very exertion toward the success of their next fa*r. In addition to the improvements being made to the grcondu, the commissioners have been petitioned to open Liberty Avenue through to the fair grounds, and also to open a sixtyfoot street along the western aide of the grounds. This will enable an entraac* to be placed in that ride of the grounds, which can be reached by means of the Liberty Avenue road, without encountering the crowds on Main street or the railroad on the north. The petitions will in all likelihood be favorably acted upon by the ooaamtsstoners,
If the street oar eompany derides to
exteud the line to the fair grounds. Farmer Joe Blake, who is supposed to own the exclusive franchise and right of way along Main street, will probably make a fight. But as the limit fixed in the grant of right of way has expired, and Mr. Blake will probably never build sueh a l'ne, his opposition will not prove very serious.
The commission of 3. 0. Jones as postmaster expires next week, and the postoffice war baa 'aken renewed activity from the fact -bat the appointment will be made in the next few days. Dr. Van Valzah has g«oe on to 'Vast ington the second time to look ar.er his chances, but the news from that fountain head of informstion Is to the effect that John F. Regan has the inside track on the appointment. Mr. Regan will not talk about the matter, but the knowing ones incline to the opinion that be has the best show, and if any other man gets it he will have to lui the earth upside down, or perform some other equally impossible feat. It is certain that no other candidate for the position has ever had sueh backing from the business men and community at large as has Mr. Regan, and it will be a very strange thing if he fails to get the appointment with such support. The stcry will be told very shortly, and conjecture set at rest.,., ...,
A very good Republican, who is something of a wag, says that if President Cleveland desires to carry out his civil service ideas and reappoint office holders unless they have been "offensively partisan," that 'be present Incumbent is entitled to hold the office for another term of four years! -.

THE body of Joseph Eckard, the missing butcher, was found last Sunday in the pond at the north side of the trestle between this city and Maxville. This dispels the theory that he left the country, and placed his horse and wagon under the trestle on the night of the 11th of March, as a blind. And now the question arises whether he lost his life by accident or was murdered.
IT is the lot of few to enjoy fifty years of continued married life. This milestone in life's pilgrimage was reached last Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. John A. Goesett, and their home, 628 Poplar street, was the scene of a large gathering in happy celebration of the event. There were present of their own children and grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Goesett and daughter Katie, of Indianapolis Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Steele and daughter, of Champaign Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Gossett and two sons, of Topeka, Kansas, and Miss Emma Gossett.

This the largest minstrel company ever organized in America, and is under the personal supervision and direction of Col. J. H. Haverly. The Cragg family give their wonderful performance in full evening dress, white face, and those who have seen it propounce it simply marvelous and indescribable. —Whenever you think of fire or life insurance, think also of John R. Hager, who sucoc xls to the oldest agency in this city and represents the beet companies in the world.
