The Journal does not class Mr.. Cas- Byfield
and Judge Ayers with the ''Sim" Coy gang.
They do not belong to the gang. But that
there is a Sim Coy gang and that the gang
has the Democratic party by the throat, is
unquestioned. There could be no better wit
ness to that fact than Mr. Byfeld himself,
who has not yet forgotten the late convention
of his party. The shame is that such men
quietly accept the fruits the "Sim" Coy gang
may be able to bring them.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-10-30

The Sentinel of yesterday had two double
loaded editorials in which it violently de-
nounced County Clerk McLain. Unfortu-
nately for the Sentinel, as Colonel Closky
said, the editorials edo not cawnsist." In one
it says:
"In other words, the law makes the clerk of
the Circuit Court the clerk of the recounting
board"
In the next, which is headed 'Clerk Nc
Claim" it says:
"Mr. McClain had no right to enter the
room, much less to undertake TO take away the
boxes and ballots, until so directed by major
ity of the board"
Now, if Clerk McLain is clerk of the re-
counting board, he should be present at the
recount Yet the Sentinel in the last article,
says he had no right to center the room. -
How is this?

SECRETARY OF-wAR BELKNAP was driven
from the Cabinet in disgrace because he
shielded his wife in questionable transaction,
that of receiving payment from post trader
in the army, a few hundreds or thousands of
dollars at most. His personal integrity was
not impeached. Encouragement Garland
has in his pockets ST., 500, 900 of donated tele-
phone stock, which has already bribed him
into the permission of action that had to be
rescinded when made too public. But Gar
land is in Office, and, so far as known, is re-
garded with unbroken esteem. General Bel
KNAPP was distinguished officer in the Union
service. Mr.. Garland was a confederate,
and we are now living in the days of political
poltroonerv.

THERE is demand for a revision of our
election laws and methods. Ten votes not
credited on the tally-lists by either clerk,
ten other votes evidently introduced into the
ballot-box after the ballots had left the
hands of the inspector, and the ballots
from one of the precincts of BOSS" Coy's ward
gone-these are some of the things developed
by the recount A law that will allow the
the polls open, the boxes to be alternated and
two boards to be at each precinct, as is the
Pennsylvania law, would prevent the mistakes,
and worse, that are inevitable and possible in
the hurry, and confusion, and excitement Incl
dent to the Indiana system.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS kent Ian

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS kept lam
dau at public expense while in that Office
He was practically driven from place and pub
lie life. Attorney general Garland has in his
pocket 81, 500, 900 of telephone stock, given to
him as gratuity, and he allows the donors to
use his department and the name and author
ity of the United States for their benefit. If
Mr. Garland were not an ex-rebel demi- god he
would be bounded out of the place he has dis
honored. But having been confederate, the
doughfaces kneel before him, and there are
but few anywhere who have the temerity 10
question the propriety and integrity of his
conduct

WHEN member of Congress was foun

WHEN member of Congress was found to
have been given by Cakes Ames few hun
dred dollars of the stock of the Credit Mobi-
lier, he was bounded out of public life by the
virtuous men and newspapers which are now
the chief defenders of the Cleveland admin
istration. But here is a conceded fact that
Attorney general Garland was given 81, 500,
900 Of the stock of the Pan electric Telegraph
Company, and almost as soon as he got into
the Department of Justice a suit was begun
in the interest of this corporation, in the
name of the United States and by its author
which shuddered and Numbered about the
Credit Mobilier scandal

cratic judge to decide for them The Repub-
lican commissioner had the right to take the
judgment of the court under whose authority
he was acting. In the face of the written
midnight order of Judge Ayres, the act Of
Sterling R. Holt in breaking open the ballot
box with Ratchet was an insolent and fagit-
ious contempt, and comes so clearly as it seems
to us within the letter and spirit of section 2195
Revised Statutes that we believe it to be the
duty of the Criminal Court and grand jury
to see whether such burglarious methods Of
stealing an Office are within the protection
the statute or not

BOTH are men of intelligence and business
experience.
This with respect to Sterling r. Holt and
A. F. Ayres (Little Ayres), the Democratic
recount commissioners. We do not question
it; but we do question their honor
when they deliberately count for Ripley a
ticket from which his name was doubly and
trebly scratched, along with the names Of
every other candidate except that of Mr..
Jones, for councilman in the Third ward. The
ticket had been thrown out by the election
board, with jeers and jests because the voter
had not included Jones in his disgust with
the whole Democratic ticket, and it was not
counted by the commissioners on the first
coun. Yet these linen of intelligence and bust
ness experience" after breaking open the ballot
box with Ratchet, take up this reject
ed ballot and count it for Mr.. Ripley, in order
to give him false and fraudulent majority.
Whether men who would count such a ticket
are honorable men," in the words of At
torney Byfeld, is matter upon which the
public will have an opinion Of it's own
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-10-30

THE occasion of the dedication of the Indi-
ana monument on the battlefield of Gettys-
burg afforded pleasing opportunity for con-
CALCULATIONS and good feeling In the pres
ence of the thousands of heroic dead who fell
in that dreadful fight, it was source of felici-
tation that the object for which the Indiana
comrades, living and dead, had fought, had
been gloriously achieved. The sadness of their
untimely and terrible taking off has been tenn
pered by the joy and gratitude of a
reunited people in the enjoyment
of an undivided country, and peace in all its
length and breadth. Gettysburg was the
turning point in what seemed well-nigh sue
cessful invasion of the North by the only
considerable body of the enemies of the
Union that forced their way upon free soil
The fight around that peaceful Pennsylvania
town had for it's issue so much for the cause
of rebellion that its loss was almost
the death Of it. It was an awful
struggle, with varying fortunes, during
three whole days, in which thousands persisted
on either side. 1t is we'll that the right took
another step forward there, and out of the
blood-drenched cemetery and from the heights
of Seminary Ridge and Round Top marched
to other fields and to fresher victories In the
end right and freedom triumphed everywhere,
so that, when the flag of the country is
carried there, or as it floats over the vast
cemetery where are gathered the victims of the
battle, it floats the flag of an undivided
Union. All honor to the loyal living and
dead who fought at Gettysburg. The Nation
owes lasting debt of gratitude that must
never be forgotten. The monuments erected
at Gettysburg should be regarded as mile
stones and guide posts on the path of progress
and patriotism. They cannot be ignored nor
thrown down without harm to all the people.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-10-30

JUDGE AYREs appointed commission to
aldermanic district. The duties of the COM
mission were, no doubt, defined in the order
of the court. If they were not, they should
have been. Mr.. Holt the chairman of the
commission, broke open the box containing
the ballots with Ratchet He either had the
order of the court or of the Judge to break
open the box, or he had not. There is no
order to that effect as appears by the record.
If any such order was given by the Judge, it
must have been at the midnight interview
with Mr.. Coy and Mr. Sullivan, or by the tel
ephone interview between the Democratic
commissioners here and the Judge at Dan
ville Now, did the Judge give any such
authority to break open the box? If he did
not then by what authority or power had the
chairman Of the commission beyond that of
any one elseY If Mr.. Holt, as an individual
had that ri ght, then why not Brown, Jones or
RobinsonY The section of the Statute No
2195, is quite clear on this subject Mr.. Holt
violated the law in breaking the box, or he did
not 1t would seem that the Judge owes it
to the dignity of his court to say how far he
authorized the rape of the ballot-box, and if
his appointees exceeded the authority he gave
them, he should, in justice to himself and to
the authority of his court, say in what and to
what extent the commission had exceeded the
powers conferred upon them by his orders
Judge Ayres has the floor.
