The Democrats have made two important
acquisitions This week. one. prominent
citizen Of Lawrence county, Moses Dunn,
always a Republican and who once ran
against VOORHEES, for Congress, declared
yesterday for Cleveland. The other i
prominent citizen OF Fort Wayne. Such
dcfcction> in the Republican ranks have
been very frequent OF late. What little Irish
detection there was has been driven back
into the Democratic ranks by Blrch1Id's
allitcratiye nonsense TO Blaine. " Rum, RD-
manism. and Rebellion"
\ significant feature OF the week j, the
detection o; z. +. Ritter, the head and
front OF the Prohibition movement in In
diana to Blaine. He presided at t1e Pro-
hibiti0n State Convention, refused il, nOmi-
nation for Governor. forced It, electoral
ticket into the field, and then presided At
the big Prohibition ma~s-mretIng recently
held here. and introduced It. john u the
people. II i openly charged that Blline
made him concessions and promises Of a
tangible nature when here.
John A. LOgan'> meeting here Yesterday
was respectable. but not formidable. He
will remain in the state until Monday.
Commissioners Murphy and MalOtt, OF
the Metropolitan police force. had con
fel cnce with United STATES Marshal Foster
to-day in reference 10 the proposed ap-
pOintmcnt 81 the deputies TO serve on clec-
tion-day. They assured him that the police
would do their duty. and could provide
ample protection to the ballot; that vote
buying, repeating. and Illegal voting would
be stopped and the Offenders punished
wherever found.
General Foster replied that he had no
choice in the matter under the law when
application fer their appointment were re-
cciyCd from cities Of 20,00 inhabitants,
but be- would station them only where there
was urgent demand and where fraud WIS
imminent.
The petition for depulie- 10 serve In In
diauapOliS la, not been tiIed. bal viii he Oh
Monday.
II any such a runianly set Of men are APP
pointed marshals a. were appointed in Cin.
cinnat. the DEMOCRATS will not broO& it.
They have determined 10 get rid OF them
somehow unless the provisions OF the laW
are strictly followed in their appointment.
Now, while everything in sight bct0kcn>
