MR.. BYNUM's CANVASS.

Mr.. Bynum had 10 very brilliant outlook
at the beginning of the campaign. His
chances had rather a desperate SOFT of an
appearance. Mr.. Peelle and his party were
expecting Marion County to give Republic
can majority of from 1,500 to 1000. Han
cock, they thought, would give Mr..
Bynum 450-certainly not over 500, while
Shelby with tracery of the old feud of 1882
still noticeable, thought she might give By
mum 500, probably 100 more. Dir. Peelle
began his campaign by appealing to the
sympathies of the people, complaining bit.
terly of his treatment by Democratic Con-
gress in turning him out and young Will
English in. With large msiority of peo-
pie this sort of an appeal Is almost always ef-
fective, and probably did make him
some votes among a thoughtless and
careless class who did not examine
the facts in the case. Then the bugsooo of
"free trade" was flashed back and forth over
the district and the present protective sys-
TEN of tariff robbery exalted and misstated.
Mr.. Bynum, as soon as he was nominated,
entered the canvass with an energy and
impetus that bore down all opposition. He
is a pleasant, attractive and convincing
platform speaker, and he was soon felt in
the campaign. He tore the himsy preten
tions of Mr. Peelle to the sympathy
of the people into tatters. His argu-
ment on the tariff was full, clean
and unsnswerable. Not only among the
agricultural interests of the district, but
here among our manufacturers and their
employees, did Mr.. Bynum fearlessly dispel
and expose the glitter and glamour with
which the Republican monopolists had man
aged to surround the robberies of high pro-
tective tariff. His campaign was made upon
high plane Of action. He won the respect
OF one and all, and it looks now as if he
might represent the people of this District
for many years to come, unless he is hidden
to come up higher.

a FANc1FUL STUDY OF THE BALLOT.

A FANCIFUL STUDY OF THE BALLOT.
Some one has gathered some facts and
figures connected with election tickets
which are quite interesting. The total vote
OF 1858 was 1924, 654; of 1882, was G. 465, SO5
of 1876, was S,412 1873, of 1880, was $780,
$40. Add 10 per cent. to this total, and the
estimate for the vote going into the ballot
boxes to-day will be 10, 3l2, 067, an approx
nation borne out by other calculations, and
which will be found not far out of the re-
suit A ballot is piece of paper averaging
four inches wide and ten and a half long.
Two hundred and fifty ballots laid on each
other will measure about an inch. To pre-
pare these bits Of paper at a reasonable
profit costs ninety cents thousand. II the
ballots cast at the last election were placed
end to end they would reach in a continuous
line from Washington, d. c., to Ell Paso, in
Texas, or they would stretch from Eastport,
Me., to New Orleans, as the crow flies. II
one end of the long line of paper were made
fast at Cape Flattery, the extreme north
western promontory of Washington Terri
tory, the other end would pass Kansas
City, with enough miles to spare to reach
Sedalis. This has nothing to do with the
ballots actually voted. The number of bal
lots printed, of course, is tremendously larger
than the amount voted. In st. Louis, for
instance. says the POST Dispatch, from which
valuable paper We get this in formation:
THE Democrats have had COO, 900, the other
parties in all 700, 600, making for thisene to n
a total of 100000. 1t is generally admitted,
however, that the vote of st. Louis will not
at the outside, make more than $4,000. Here
then is surplus of twenty-sIx ballots for
each one cast. This makes the total Of ball
lots offered to the American people through
out America at this election 26O.000.00O. 1t
would require eighty-ive freight cars to move
! this load of paper, whose weight is 1,7l6,0O

POLITICAL NOTES AND OPINION.

AsAD yIsAGED Republican yesterday referred
man with one foot in the grave and the 9TH
er in his mouth. '-Hartford Courant (Rep.).
THE best man for Mr.. Cleveland to put in
charge OF the Postoffice Department is the
man TO whom, more than any one man, he
owes his election-Carl Schurz.-Spring6eld
Republican Qnd.).
No coLoRED man need fear that his race is
to be permanently injured by the success of
any political party at this time. He is free
and his labor is needed to develop the re-
sources of the South. The white people will
find it vastly to their own advantage to treat
him with Justice and fairness. This very
selfish reason, if no other, will be sufficient
to prevent any gross injustice being done
him for any length of time.-Philadelph
Times (Ind.)
GENERAL ARTHUR has risen in public esti-
nation ever since he became President. Up
to that time he had been known as a superior
politician, identified with the Stalwart fac
ton, faithful to his friends, and faithful
also to his enemies. though never violent or
acrimonious. But now he is regarded as the
best F. esident who has been in the White
House since Abraham Lincoln. He is mod
crate, conservative, dignifed, iudicious and
patriotic.-New York Sun (Ind.l.
If Mr.. Blaine had been the clear headed,
self-possessed man his friends would have
the public believe he would have improved
the occasion OF the rum, Romanism and re-
bellion" address to win votes instead OF los
ing them. He would have expressed his dis

Of accepting the address with expressions Of
gratitude. But he was SO elated by the spec
tacle of respectable body of clergymen Of
fering incense to tattooed man like hi n
self that his wits forsook him utterly. The
politicians who are cursing Rev. DIR. Burch-
ard for folly should much rather curse Mr..
Blaine himself. And there is another as
pect of the matter. from which the reverend
doctor should derive consolation. Now that

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUCCESS

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUCCESS.
While the Elkinses, the Dorseys, the Bradys
and fellows of that iIk are gone, Democrats
must not forget that their party is merely
accepted on trial. The reverence for justice
that characterized the recent election attests
the psrmanence of republican institutions,
showing that country is high above every
other consideration. Fidelity to truth is
the only guarantees to protracted tenure OF
life that any political organization can have.
The only possible success to a party is
through its loyalty to the best interests of
the country. Will the Democratic party
faithfully fulfil its obligations to the people
and make its promises good? It promised 3
restoration of the economical government
that characterized the Republic in its more
virtuous days. By no manner of means
should Democrats forget that success carries
with it the largest responsibilities.

TURN THE RAsCALs OUT.

The New York Times says: Five men
were released yesterday, November Is, from
imprisonment, to which they had been SUBJ
jected for nine days without any adequate
reason. They were arrested on election day
for illegal voting and were not called up
until yesterday, when John L. Davenport, a
Commissioner ofthe United States, found time
to attend to their cases. The evidence
against them was very insufficient and they
were discharged. We do not know whether
Commissioner Davenport has violated any
law IN this matter. but We are quite sure
that he has apparently so neglected his duty
that thorough investigation ought to be
had, and, If he can not give very good ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct, he ought to be
promptly removed

Lsst night the few Democrats who live in
Liberty Township, this county, met at Selma

pnblicans not to do this, but not regarding
these threats with any alarm they met and
They had hardly begun this
when they we're attacked By the ReDub-
licaus and driven from the village. Bricks
were thrown and two or three men pretty
badly hurt. Old men with young boys were
kicked out of the town and ordered not to
show themselves there again. In the melee
one man was shot in the leg aud slightly
wounded. Considerable excitement pre-
walls and further trouble is feared.

" FUR BLAINE AND TIE HULL
TICKET

Young Joe Gordon tells good one on
Rbody Shiel. One evening during ths can
vsss a party of gentlemen were discussing
the various features and factors of the cam
pa'gn in the city, State and Nation: Oar es-
teemed and sorrowful friend Rhody was
among the company, and soon he espied
near by a bummish sort of en- individual,
clinging to lamp post as if he needed its
support. Rhody cried out, 'I'll bet he's a
Democrat" Joe took him up. He ap-
preached the weaving individual, who, in
answer to the query as to how he was going
to vote, exclaimed: "Jes' as alters"
"HoW's that?" asked Joe. Why, fur

The Governor-elect of Indiana, Isaac P.
Gray, is native Of Pennsylvania, having
been born in Chester County, that State,
October o. 1898. From 1886 TO 1855 he lived
at New Madison, Ohio, where he became q
clerk in dry goods store. His superior
ability led TO his being made partner in
the business, of which he subsequently
became sole proprietor. In 1855
he removed to Union City,
Ind, where he opened store,
and carried on business three years. He
then began the practice OF the law in the
same place, at which he still resides Daring
the early part of the war he fought in the
Union Army as Colonel of the Fourth In
diana Cavaly, but was compelled to retire
from active service on account of bad health
With the rene val OF his strength he engaged
10 recruiting a regiment of foot, and was in
the army until the close OF the war. In
1SG6 he was a candidate for Congress on the
Republican ticket, but vas defeated. When
Horace Greeley was nominated for Presi-
dent by the Democratic party in
1872, Mr.. Grsy changed sides. He
has been Democrat ever since. Ia 1876 he
was elected Lieute- ant Governor of Indiana
on the ticket with James ID. Williams, who
was the successful candidate for the higher
Office. When Williams, better known as
the blue Jeans" Governor, died, three
months before the expiration of his term,
Lieutenant Governor Gray became Gov
ernor. He was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor in 1880 and was defeated. His
success in the late campaign was after a
close contest with popular aud able CON-
peti tor, Congressman CalkIns.

The Chicago Herald has this to say with
reference to religion and party politics,
every word and sentiment of which we
heartily approve: "Some of our reverend

lover of his country, bat he does not dem

The almost marvellous popularity OF Tom
Hendricks in Indiana is worth noticing at
this time. He has been in politica! life for
thirty years and has taken an active part in
the fieTcest of the political fights 10 that
State for many years. Yet, when most pub
lie men have lost the power to kindle the
ire of enthusiasm that consumed everything
before it, Hendricks stands up in his own
State in perfect blaze of love and admira-
ton. 1t is better proof of an honest, pains
taking life of character and integrity than
can be painted by the most gifted admirer.
1t also presents life and character that the
poisoned arrows of partisan malice may be
hurled against but to fall harmless.

The New York Journal OF Commerce truth
fully and wisely says that whatever differ
ences of opinion there have been or may be
about men and measures, the great mass of
our countrymen of both the great parties are
honest, and as long as this remains true it is
not in the power of nan to wreck our libsr
tiss. The United States have been given a
mission in the world which is not yet &C u M
plished, and governments, like men, are I'M
mortal till their work is done. The Almighty
has left the impress of His forming hand
upon cur institutions too plainly to give any
room for doubt that He has set this people
apart for service to Himself and mankind
at large, upon which they have yet but
scarcely entered; and no human hand can
stay the unfolding of the august plan for as
much as one brief hour.

INDIANA IN THE CABINET.

1t is hardly debstable question that In
diana will be represented in President Cleve-
lands Cabinet. The public sentiment of the
Nationals expressed by a number of leading
newspapers, already recognizes the appro-
priateness of this representation. The same
publications invariably have named Hon. Jo-
seph Z. Mcdonald as the man and the Attor-
ney Generalship as the Office. The sugges-
ton is eminently proper. The Sentinel and
the Indiana Democracy to man will IN
dorse it. Mr.. Mcdonald deserves as much as
any statesman this National recognition.
There is not s man in ths Nation more per-
fectly equipped for The duties of the Office.
The Democratic President can make no ap-
pointment that will better satisfy the coun-
try. He can make none which will give
such marked satisfaction to the united De-
mocracy Of Indiana.
