and general rally business in vogue in Indiana and Ohio during the past two months now runs rampant in Xew York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. One week from next Tuesday will settle the matter, ami the only thing certain is that two political parties will be sick and need the doctor next day, while the third will ho in robust health, seeking now foes to conquer.

Under the head, “Will the Election Stand,” the Indianapolis News says: This question is attracting considerable attention in view of the possible reversal of the present opinion of the Supreme Court

that heretofore has never figured conspicuously in politics. During the .State campaign Col. Dudley looked particularly after the Legislature, and it will not be surprising if he has a strong following whore votes will count the most. Coburn is a dernier rcssort, but it is too early

yet to speculate.

There is talk and prophesy now about Indiana holding another State election in November, it being alleged by some that [ the October election was unconstitutional:

wicked | and illegal. The ■statement of the case j

presented, in short, and plainly, is about in this language: Last spring the people j of the State voted separately on seven ; amendments to the Constitution, one of which (the third) provided for a registration of voters, and for the holding of the State election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, instead of on the second Tuesday in October—thus bringing the State and Presidential elections on the same day. In June last the Supreme Court of Indiana held that a majority of votes cast at the election at which an amendment was submitted was necessary to its adoption; in other words, that the elector who did not vote on the amendments in effect voted no. It was in pursuance of this decision that the State election in Indiana was held m October this year. Now a serious question

Last week, when The Star went to press, the net result of the election was not definitely known, and we give the

following additional particulars:

the title of some officer to his place, or testing the question of illegal voting, may be made up and taken to the Court for settlement. If these judges, with Judge Niblack, hold the amendments adopted, then the election of Tuesday will become null and void, in the opinion of many lawyers, resolving the State into anarchy. It is a case for which no provision has been made by law, and may result in serious complications. A consultation of lawyers, irrespective of party, is talked of, and will probably he called to discuss the situation and suggest some

means of avoiding trouble.

The man who deftly manipulates figures has been making cute calculations as to what the millionaire, Vanderbilt, could do with his money if he wished to, and hero is the result: “William H. Vanderbilt's income from his investment in $51,000,000 four per cent Government bonds is represented at $5,(X0 daily, which is $208.25 per hour, $3.17 per minute, or over 5 cents per second. Assuming that he is paid by the second ho cannot possibly spend his money, as he cannot select purchases and lay down the pieces fast enough. He could not throw it away; to pick up, cast, recover, pick up and cast again would take him two seconds, and if ho worked all thro' the twenty-four hours, without rest, he could Only dispose of one-half of his inTflme. By living economically, saving up for four years, he could, placing bis live cent pieces side by side, make a nickle belt around the earth; or, by converting his savings into one cent nieces and mounting them in a pile, he would, in twenty years, erect a road to the moon, and have $500 to invest when he got there. Should his amusement take a charitable twist, he could, out of a year's receipts, donate to every man, won.an and child in the United States 20 cents, and have money left over. Other vast possibilities occur to the glowing fancy of the calculator. In one day he could go to 8,000 different circuses, eat 10,000 pints of peanuts, drink 5,000 glasses of lemonade, and have money enough left to get his boots blacked. He can afford to have 500,000 shirts washed in one day, and on the day of his death his income would buy

ten first'plass funerals.”

“Jayhawker,” the Indianapolis correspondent of the Enquirer, writing in regard to this matter, says: It is claimed that the Supreme Court can not avoid declaring the recent election void, because the decision of the Court in the case of
