When this occurs, Evansville can not fail tC
be largely benefited hy the new busines:
that will spring up
The various Railroads running into Ter
re Haute are making arrangements to have
Union Depot not far north of the present
shed used for the purpose. We are glad to
see this, as the present insufficient accom-
modations are not worthy so handsome a
I place as the Prairie City. 1t is indeed as
handsome a city as there is in the West so
far as natural beauty of situation is con-
cerned
came;over to indianapolis on Monday
morning. All the Republicans of the Cap
! ital as we'll as those of Terre Hante, were
of course in the highest spirits, on account
of their late success. Tney have gained a
magnificent victory in Marion County
Nowhere is their organ. .aation better. Their
vote for President was-Lincoln 1924 !;
Douglas 3252; Breckinridge 3l8; Bell
l6I. Total vote, 8755. Plurality for Lin
coin l772; his majority over all 1898. In
1856 the County was Democratic, giving
Buchanan AZ plurality. There has been a
wonderful change in a few years. The Re-
publicans of the Capital county have right
to boast of their great success.
Our newly elected Clerk of the Supreme
Court, John Paul Jones, was sworn into
Office on the 9th instant, and now graces his
office in the Capitol, between the Supreme
Court Room and the Governors room (hot
quarters for a Republican for a couple of
months) with his smiling countenance. He
has had long experience as Clerk of the
Lagrange county courts, and viii make
competent and popular officer. He feels
under obligations TO the Vanderburgh
county Republicans for the good work they
have done-so do all the members of the
party have met-and for the large majori-
ty given for him, though he claims no
credit for it, but yields the same to our At
torney General elect, who, from the SINH
Iarity Of the names of the two, didn't get
the majority in his own county that he
otherwise would have received
W. B. Beach, ESQ, the retiring Clerk of
the Supreme Court. has gone to Texas for
the benefit of his health, which is very poor.
Governor Hammond, understand is in poor
health also.
Workmen are busy putting the State
House in order for the reception of the Le-
gislature next winter Tie old building is
getting shabby, and needs constant repairs
indianapolis is still improving astonish-
ngly. Her population is increasing rapid |
y, and buildings of the most substantial |
character have been going up in every di-
'ectiOn during the building season. The |
)ouldering of streets is carried on largely, /
and gas-light is extended year after year
nto the remote parts of the city. Indiana
polls is getting to be, through the operation
,f capital ana enterprise, one of the finest
pland cities in the Union.
The general sentiment amongst the Re
oublicans l have talked with is in favor of
insisting next winter, when the Legislature
meets, on that retrenchment and reform
which the Republican party have assured
he people shall be carried out The extor-
ions and stealings in connection with the
State Printing should be cut off, and the
1est way to do this, it is generally conceded
5 to let the Printing out by contract AS any
,ther mechanical work for The State is Civ
n out. The eXtortions and fraudulent per-
luisites of several other Offices will also be
provided against, and the tremendous leaks
n the treasury closed which now are drain
ng the pockets of taxpayers. The party
lave made pledges to the people which must
'e carried out to insure orr continued sue
ess. Our Republican representatives from
he Pocket are the very men to insist on and
lelp carry out these measures of retrench-
nent and economy.
The Journal will have more to say about
hese matters in future Nc.
