WOOD RIVERS RECORD.
the CAUSES OF THE REPUBLICAN
DEFEAT.

The Republican and anti Mormon
defeat, in this county, is due. firstly,
to the re. nomination of Mr.. Sing.
User; secondly, to the lack of an ell
cient County Central Committee; and
thirdly, to "individual" campaigning
by the candidates.
Although most Of the prominent
Republicans affected to accept cheer
fully Mr.. Singiser's denomination, and
determined IN do the very best they
could, the utter lack Of enthusiasm
among the rank.and- file was painfully
apparent from the start, and they went
into the campaign with the feeling Of
the veteran soldier who, lacking con-
Adence in his commander, is never.
theless willing to die for the good of
the cause, but without hope Of even
ultimate victory.
The County Central Committee
never possessed the confidence Of the
candidates. This may have been ow-
ing to the fact that most OF them were
new to politics, or that those who
were new did not have the time re-
ouired to attend to the business to
spare. But whatever the cause, the
statement must remain uncontrovert-
ed that it did not possess the conf
denoe of the candidates. This fact
told greatly against the success of the
ticket Is whole.
Then, as to the making of ''individ.
ual" fights. Some Of the candidates
put up 'jobs'' with the opposition or
the principle, "you-help-me-along
and | will you" This seems
very shrewd and polite, at first
sight; but is too apt te
lead to retaliativs measures on the par
of the other candidates on the tickle
to DO very promising of success. Thu
plan is never resorted to openly bye
perienced politicians, "A they know
that anything that weakens a part o
the ticket undoubtedly weakens tn
whole.
The absence Of money, even 70
the most urgent travelling expenses
some Of the candidates, also worke'
against them. Some of the cand1
dates have actually not contribute
one cent toward the expenses of tn
campaign. The cost of advertiser
the ticket, printing $4,000 of tn
same, hiring halls, bands, buying fu'
for bontirss, etc., had to be met b
the more fortunate candidates, al
by friends, who had none to spar
Even those candidates up for re-ele'
ton were financially ''short," tn
enormous business which they al
supposed to have transacted durn
the past two years having been large
on "jawbone."
With a strong Congressional Cal
didate, and an active, experienced
county committee, the Republican
would, by united fight, have carrie
the county. AS it was they were t
heavily handicapped to make wi
ming fight.

Is vanderbllt After the west Shore?

Now York Special The trunk line receipts to-
day show that the Central carried more grain
from Chicago than any other road and is within
kwenty-one cars of the entire combined lines,
and the Central and Wet Shore roads are
credited within forty cars of the entire ship
a,cnts. These figures are given to show how
completely Vanderbilt has control of the trunk
line business. For all this the West Shore cut
ting of rates is regarded as Vanderbilt tactic.

A Brutal Husband.

A crowd Of nearly or quite 200 people were
attracted to the new building at the northwest
corner of Indiana avenue and Ohio streets, last
evening, few minutes before o'clock, by the
cries of woman being beaten by brutal hus-
band The beating took place in the business
room on the corner, into which a stock of gro
ceries is being moved The doors were closed
but the crowd on the outside heard the screams
and looking through the windows saw a man
knock a woman down. striking her in the mouth
it is said dislocating three of her teeth
and after she was down, it is
said kicking her in the breast.
The name of the brutal husband is given as
John Corners, or Conyers, and he is in the
employ of one OF the express companies. He
is said to have been angry because his wife,
who is a business woman. and who has the
grocery in charge, had failed to have supper
ready on time After beating her he came out
of the building and walked rapidly down Hi
nois street, followed by crowd of men and
boys, who yelled after him, "Wife-w -whipper,
stop the coward" "knock him down" etc.
but he was feetfooted. and kept far ahead of his
pursuers. The wife whipper is big fellow, fully
six feet high aud very muscular. There are few
women who, in fair fight. could get away from
him No arrest was made.

Annual Inspection Trip.

The Pennsylvania officials, headed by presi-

yesterday from St Louis, their annual in
spection tour, having made the run from st.
Louis in six and a half hours over the Vandalia.
After spending an hour in the city and at the
shops just erected and put in operation, the
party left for Richmond These new works
were put into operation for the first time
Wednesday and the machinery at the old Noble
street shops Is now silent. The new shops will
presently be under full headway The Jeffer-
SOnyille shop hands will be brought to this city,
and all repairing for the Pennsylvania lines west
of Columbus will hereafter be done at 1ndianap-
oils. The Pennsylvania now owns 1l5
acres of ground III this city, exclusive
Of their right of way. Thirty acres
Of this lie on the Michigan road with
the c., II. & I. road between it and the Pan
handle yards. Superintendent Miller, of the
Richmond division of the Panhandle made n
valuable suggestion as to the disposition of this
shirty-acre patch He suggests that it be sub
divided and sold at = cheap figure to the Pan
handle employees on long time, that they may
build UP suburb there conveniently located
with reference to the company'S shops and yards.
These latter could be reached from the proposed
suburb by means of a foot bridge built over the
Panhandle and c., H. & D. tracks. The thirty
acres in question were bought for about 500 per
acre, and if subdivided could be sold at a low
figure without loss to the company.
The fifth annual inspection of the Bee line and
l. & St l.. will begin next Monday. The pres
ident and other officials of the road will reach
shis city Tuesday afternoon. The Bright
wood shops will be visited and arrangements
made for such improvements and reduction of
expenses as may be deemed advisable.

Trunk out of the Michigan Central depot at De-
trOit notice having been given to the Grand
Trunk that on and after Nov. l none of its trains
will be allowed to run into or depart from the
Michigan Central depot. This will necessitate
tho transfer of passengers by the Grand at De-
troit in omnibuses through the city. Still as
the Grand Trunk sends all its through business
