A Bystander's Opinion.

Tuesday was an eventful and peculiar day. Adjectives fail short in expressing everything one would say concerning it Forth© Democrats it was in one sense an Australian day. For the Republicans a St. Helena day, having only the miseris attendant on a Waterloo defeat. The moat sanguine hepes of the Democratic leaders and supporters were exceeded, the most unwilling fears of the Republican henchmen surpa&sed. The tidal wave, for such it was, could hardly have been more sweeping in its results, »o one wonders that the portion of the people which stamped the little red star under the eagle's wins is highly disgusted. No one marvels that the other portion which drew up in line behind the rooster's tail feather is supremely happy. The contest was one which wat bitterly fought from beginning to end tn the anticipation that the two parlies would divide the honors. Republicans sincerely believed they could win. Democrats acknowledged, hesitatingly to be sure, that such a possibility existed, and In this extremity fought as though entered for life or death. Every available campaign orator was brought into the district. Hon. }). W. Voorheea, John Lamb, et al., worked like Turks to secure tbe success of their men. They collected a constellation of lesser lights around them and scoured this cluster of counties as it was never scoured before. Col. R. W. Thompson even ceuld not overcome his war spirit, but came out for one speech, which was, indeed, a masterpiece of campaign logic. Men of national political farno ciune on to lend a helping hand, and night after night the court house walls echoed with the ring of their voices. Huch was not only the situation here, but all over the state and all over the country. The McKinley bill, the election bill, the silver bill, and other bills-bllls-blll* wore discussotl pro and con with tho earnestness of death. Finally tho preparations came to an end and election day arrived, The euimlna Hon was an illustration as of old of party characteristics. Democrats did as their leaders urged them to do—voted to a man and cast the ballot straight. Re publicans did as they had been exhorted not to do—remained at home or voted mixed ticket. From oast to west this wan true, Subsequent events proved how dearlytuch Indifference costs, Tho Democratic victory is, of course, one to be proud of, be the causes therefor what they may, and that tho Democracy Is even yet tilled with delight is but the ordinary manifestation of human ua turo.

This Eighth district was startling in its uuoxpeotml upheaval. In 1888 Brook shlro carried only two of the seven counties—Sullivan and Clay—and his plurality was but sixty-nine. This time ho takes everything In sight, leaving only Parke and Vermillion counties to afford his opponent consolation, and his total plurality is In the neighborhood of 3,000. To say the least, he Is a fortunate young man. The county too outdid it self. Wont to be considered doubtful on this occasion It simply ran away with Itself to the extent of going 822 for the boy congressman. Two years ago James T.Johnston carried It by 184. On top of this every Democratic nominee walked into office with considerable ease, with majorities ranging from *100 to 1,000. There was but one feature which aflorded a cushion on which the unsuccessful Republicans could lay their heads, and this was tho pleasing fact that every county Republican, with two exceptions, ran far ahead of the Republican state ticket. This was, in deed, gratifying.

Tho new election law worked beautl fully, and in saying this the Bystander intends to convey no partisan idea. It made the day a quiet one and an honest one. Mont surprising to relate very very few ballots, in comparison with the prediction that was made, were Illegally stamped and consequently thrown out. This excellent introduction of the law is to be construed as a high compliment to the intelligence of Vigo county voters. It conclusively establishes the truth that with the saloons closed, ward politicians held at bay, and the voter1* own {faculties brought Into use, a Vigo mat is just as capable of reading the English language as any other man of brain. What a pleasure it was to vote by the new method. Entering the door to the voting room, you shut the disgusting part of the election completely from you, received an authorised ballot from an authorised clerk, entered a booth in which you were hidden from the inspection of every man in the room, atamped the ticket of your choice, folded the ballot in such a way as to conceal every clue to your selection of candidates, deposited the treasure with the judges, and left the place, knowing that yon had no one to blame but yourself if the vote was thrown out.

seemed

equally well informed Jo tie* the formalities should be gone through with, and hence the outcome foils to el-

ford eitheraldo the claim of being benefitted by the JAW'S adoption. ., V*

A. bitter campaign inevitably develops disgraceful jnetbods of electioneering, the Bystander is about ready to conclude. Otherwise some men now securely clothed In royal robes would not have resorted to the means of influ oncing voters that they did There would have been less l\tng, less msinu ation of moral indecency, less support of lawleesnees. And id »ome of this one of the papers had a hand./ Astonish ing was it that a newspaper claiming to be independent of the whisky ring should do all in it« power to convince the public Mr. Stimaon was not the man for Circuit judge, simply because he is not a frequenter of saloons and is an advocate of temperance. Would that paper ordinarily attack a man for possessing such noble traits of character? Would it in its business dealings prefer a patron of saloons to a consistent member of the church? Indeed if all the underhand work indulged in were made public more than one individual would come in for a share of popular indignation. Had the old election law still been in force undoubtedly the work on election day would have been disgraceful in tho extreme.

The expense of the election was the one objectionable feature of the new method. The booths, boxes, stakes, ropes, etc., cost 1,217.20. Then the average cest of judges, clerks, etc., was about f39 a precinct, so that in ait the expences of tho day were $3,869.20. But it was a straight election notwithstanding.

One outcome of the Republican defeat is that the state law on the closing of saloons and gambling rooms is to be strictly enforced. Possibly the Republican defeat has not so much to do with it as the fact that the campaign is over. But at any rate, commencing to-uight, the saloons will close promptly at 11 o'clock every night and remain closed over Sunday. The police board and the council are to be praised for tho new order, and earnestly is it hoped that the enforcement of the measure will not be merely a matter of form but a matter of duty and necessity.

Politics has overshadowed everything thi* vveeK—business, sdciai gatherings and all.

The fourth annual exhibit given by tho tlorists of Indiana, opens at Indiapolls, Tuesday evening, continuing through the week.

Charley Kern, in whom many Terre Hauteans are intorested, was elected treasurer of Cook coundty, Illinois (Chi cago), by about 3,(300 majority.

Joseph F. Johnsou, a well-to-do farmer of Prairie Creek township, suicldod Sat urday by taking strychnine. His act was due to financial embarrassment.

M. A. Huut returned from Chicago this morning with seven blue ribbons won on eight entries, ut their annual ilower show, iu competition with the 2»X) florists of that city.

The last of tho city's bonded Indebted ness has been refunded and all of the in debtednesa bears the VA per cent, rate contracted by the refunding loan made with Quigley, llarrarnau A Co., of New York.

It is a fact that the saloons were closed on election day from 6 a. m. to6:30p. It is also a fact that they were open and did enough business to make up for woek's rest during the full twelve hours following.

The annual meeting of the Ladies' So clety of tho Congregational church was held Monday afternoon and officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs. Wm Rea vice-president, Mrs. Ed Ross treas urer, Mrs. Robert Olllum secretary Miss Maria Smith directors, Mrs. Rob ert Watson, Mrs. L. F. Perdue, Mrs Samuel Royse, Mrs. L.Thomas and Mrs J. M. Ryan church houskeepers, Mrs Ed Bryant and Mrs. Frank Paddack.

Burglars effected an entrance into the Old Woman's home yesterday evening by climbing the two porches and enter ing the third story window. A to pas ring was taken from the matron's room, her trunk picked open and jewelry box broken. Everything in the room was rummaged. This was the only room molested. The matter was, this morning, placed In the hands of the police.

The Independent, the new weekly started about six weeks ago as the organ in this field of the F. M. B. A. dies with to-day*s Issue. This early demise is ex plained in the following editorial para graph. "Owing to the utter failure or neglect of certain parties who promised us a certain amount of patronage to keep that promise, and from the further fact that we have neither time nor means to engage in a work of charity, this will be the last issue of the Independent."

The twentieth annual report of the Ladies' Aid society, extending over the period from M*y 1» 188®, to May 1, 18P0, is just out, and (la as usual comprehensive on every part of the •odety's mag* nidc«nt work.
