The Elections FOX State Audgto! and Treasurer
are lust over and have resulted in the sigma! DE-.
| eat of the Loco oco party. although they have
zen majority in the Legislature. They caucused
night after night, and endeavored to reconcile
their larring and discordant factions, but II was
pi no avail! On Thursday morning the Legs
jaturs went INTO Jonl Convention and balloted
Tor Treasurer till Friday night without etfecting
Al election. The Loco party could not concen-
tratc their forces on any canddate-tirsi, one
man was taken up and run up to 69 votes. which
was the highest they could unite on any man,
Is votes beng necessary 10 choice. But with
the Wings the scene was different. For twenty
oai!o;ings they stood up unitedly in sotd phalanx
or GgoRGs H. DUNN, the present worthy and
estnab!e incumbent, neither turning TO the right
hand nor left, although they could have elected
whichever independent candidate they chose at
| anv balotng. 1t was most beautiful voting
every Wing standing up nooIy and untrlngiy for
| the good cause and lis worthy candidate There
was no finching among them, and on several
ballotings he ran up TO -, two votes beyond his
| party strength. At last Mr.. Dunn insisted that
| his friends should vote for him no longcr-and
then, not because they were beaten but because
it would beat and eXasperate their adversary,
they wheeled on Saturday IN unbroken array on
Mr. ROYAL MAYHEM, a mild, excellent and uncx-
ccptionable Democrat, who had been long before
dropped by his friends-they considering his
chance utterly hopeless, and the two forces co4-
Joined elected him triump phantly over the regular
| Loco.Foco candidate, who had been caucused
out with great hopes OF success by the party the
night before. You cannot imagine the chagrn,
distnay and fury, which sit on the faces OF the
leaders, at this To them, unexpected and unWel-
come result. They declared that they would not
recognise it as victory, bat regarded 1t IN the
same light as a Wing triumph. The Wings, on
the contrary, enjoyed the fun and looked on COM
paccntly at the iangling discord of "the harmo-
NOUS Democracy" Saturday afternoon and this
afternoon have been spent in electing State Audi
tor, and again the leading Locos are furious at the
ISSUE eliminating and recrimlnatlng, and almost
frantic. On the tenth ballot this evening, II. J.
| HARRIS, of Carroll Co. was elected by junction
of the whole body Of the Wings with his friends.
Mr. Harris refused 10 go into their Caucus, is
| CQSs man, and I doubt whether he will go for
any other Loco-Foc candidate for the Presiden.
cy than him.
I have not time to write more tonight, but
will again shortly. Yours truly, SC.

The complexion of our Legislature is, as you
know, Loco Foco Notwithstanding the odds
the Wings have had to contend with in the cleo
ton Of the Governors Select Council, they have
been thus far victorious in making Treasurer and
Auditor, after countless attempts. Mr. MAYHEM
of Shelby Co. was elected Treasurer after ballot
mo Twenty Two tirnes and HoRATIo j. HARRIS
of Clinton Co. elected Auditor after Ten ballot
ings. Indianapolis, now filled with citizens from
every section Of the State, is as joyous over this
decided triumph as during any period of the cam
paign Of 1910. These gentlemen are not to be
sure, out-and-out Wings but they arc men of
moderate and, many say, questionable attach
ment to the Loco Foco cause.
The Wings of this Legislature, unlike that OF
the last, have no HeLSo In their midst, and being
united to man they took up liberal and mode
rate men and elected 'l>-.-, The MIX. have
not strength enough among themselves to do
what they desire to do for the benefit Of the whole
State, but what they have will be judiciously ap-
Piled in all their acts.
The name Of CLAY has begun to be used as
was the venerable Harrson's during the close OF
1889. Indiana is safe for Kentuckys Favorte
Son by an equal if not increased vote over that
Of Harrison The Peope-the Wings mean
are waking up from the lethargy into which they
have been cast by the duplicity OF the man who
now occupies the White House-resoved TO
Leave vain regIet5 for erToIS past,
Nor cast ths ship away:
