any considerable extent would, in my judg-
ment, be unjust to honest AMI competent
officers, and would produce but slight effect
in the reduction of court expenses. The
evil, so far as it exists, does not lie in pay
ing too much for service actually rendered,
but in paying for service that was never per-
formed
The ''loosc practices alluded to have been
confined mainly 10 justices and shertfs. The
former have not returned fines and fees when
collected and the latter have made con-
structive charges that is, for instance, when
a man is fined for two or more offences IN
succession, the officer charges full fees for
each. though he rendered but one service
As remedies Judge Neazey suggests that the
latter point be determined by the court audi
tors and that as to the former, justices
should be required to keep a record and
make return to the county clerk ot

The great Republican demonstration in
New York, Monday evening was magnif-
Gently successful and will givethe campaign a
splendid impetus. 1t is thus described;
As carly rs seven o'clock the streets in
every quarter of the city were filled with
crowds hurricdly moving toward the centres

positions long before the first torch
of the expected procession was to
be seen The windows and balconies
along the line of march were early taken up
by the curious crowds and in many localities
trucks were stationed for blocks with i'm
proviscd seats upon them let out by enter
prising owners TO anxious spectators. The
front rooms at the principal hotels along the
line of march were at u premium, and in
many instances had been engaged for several
days in advance.
Notable in the procession were the bank
ers' and brokers' club, which numbered
5000 men; the Republican invincibles of
Philadelphia, 500 in number, mostly young
men, handsomely uniformed in orange capes,

THE Democrats meant 10 carry Indiana by
fair means or foul, and supposing that they
had sure thing of it. they have claimed that
the election of I.anders would be a sure aug
ury of Hancock's election. But Indiana
alone has never, by an October decision in
favor of the Democrats, foreshadowed the
National verdict. The Republicans have
never carried State election in Indiana since
1868, but they have carried the country at
every election since that date. Indiana and
Ohio both Democratic in October, would
make it uphill work fer the Republicans in
the National campaign Indiana Democratic
and Ohio Republican would leave the result
depending on New York, with the chances in
favor of the Republican National ticket. In
diana and Ohio both Republican, or Ohio
strongly Republican and Indiana Democratic
by a reduced and small majority, make rea-
sonably sure the election of a Republican

Is estimating the significance of the result
in Indiana. it is TO be remembered that it is
t,oflre gears since the Republicans carried
Indiana in the October election. Twice since
then the State has gone Republican in Nov
ember: but only when the other october
elections and the general set of the political
current had satisfied the Indiana Democrats
that there was no hope of Democratic sue
cess in the National election. The State
has been in fact Democratic State-made
50, it is true, largely by Kentucky repeaters
and other frauds The Republicans have al
WAYS done better in November than in Octo-
her, because these frauds could be less easily
effected in the National election. This year
the Democracy have conceded that they must
carry the State in October or give up the Ma
tional fight All that money, fraud and cor
rupiion could do, to win success, they have
done They have worked with absolute
desperation. If they have failed even to the
extent of doubtful result-if they have
failed 10 carry the State 10y at least 5000
majority, il is certain that a worse failure
awaits them in November, and that the fif-
teen electoral votes Of Indiana will be thrown
for Garfield and Arthur
