Political Votes.

The Tenth ward will do itself honor by
re-electing Mr.. Downey, who has made
most excellent councilman.
Billy Morrison is solid in the old Twelfth
ward; don't you forget it. Don't forget to
cast one vote for him, either. There is no
doubt about his election, however
Floyd and Pritchard are the Republican
candidates in the Third ward. We trust
that the differences may yet be comprom-
ised so that there may be but one candid
ate in the field.
We note with pleasure the popularity of
Mr.. J. A. Braboy, of Kokomo. At the
counclmapic nomination in the Second
ward of that city the other day he lacked
but four votes of nomination. He had
the solid support OF the entire colored vote.
The Fifth ward Republicans will re-elect
Johnnie Pearson next Tuesday by an over
whelming majority. This will be a de-
| served compliment. Mr.. Pearson will re-
ceive the enthusiastic support of ever col
ored man in the ward, and he richly
merits it.
1t would do our heart good to have a
chance to go down into the Seventeenth
ward and cast ''solid" vote for that ster-
/ ling cold abolitionist," Peter F. Bryce
| We would like to write the life of the col
ored man of that ward who fails to vote for
| him. 1t is an honor to any party to be
| represented by such a man as Peter F.
Bryce.
Mr.. Nelson Yoke in the Twentieth ward
| is a most excellent selection. Mr.. Yoke is
Principal of one of the Public Schools, and
| is recognized as one of the ablest men in
! the corps of teachers. Mr.. Yoke will make
a first class councilman and we trust that
| he will receive a magnificent majority.
The Republican party can not allow 80
good man as Mr.. Yoke to be defeated.
| The Republicans of the Fourteenth
ward are making an enthusiastic campaign
for Henry Mauer for councilman and Geo.
Wood for alderman of the Second dis
trict. Henry Mauer is good Republican,
a substantial business man and thoroughly
| identified with the interests of the ward
| No Republican, colered or white, can give
a single reason for opposing Mr.. Mauer.
The colored people Of the ward are a unit
for Mauer. We trust the white Repub-
licans will follow their example and bury
their differences long enough to give
Henry Mauer a rousing majority on Tues
day next.
| N Sidnu IacpuuiiCdu Idiiy Was uclu al
the Second Baptist church OIL Thurs
day evening Rousing speeches were
made by r. McCarey, Councilman
Shilling, Billy Herd, r. B. Bagby,
Judge Chapman, w. Allison Sweeny and
others. The meeting was very apprecia-
tive and enthusiastic. All the speakers
counselled harmony and union. Mr..
Shilling referred to charge that has been
| circulated against him in the following
manly language: "It has been charged
by malicious persons that at some time
said that would not vote for a id
Niger In the first place, am Chris
tian, and do not swear. 1 never in all my
life made such statement, nor did ever
say anything that even implied such
feeling on my part. 1 emphatically deny
the charge and challenge any man to
face me and say that l said it. And fur
ther characterize the person who started
and circulated the rumor as a cowardly
liar" Mr. Shilling's remarks were received
with enthusiastic applause, and especially
by the colored people. We trust every
colored man in the Thirteenth ward will
do his duty, and see that Mr.. Shilling is
returned by handsome majority.
