Bert Moore, whom he attempted to browbeat,
however, reminded the colonel of one I'M
pleasant fact and efectually closed his
mouth. Morton objected to having
mr. Moore's name upon the list, in an

marley was completely demolished and
sunk away, while the bystanders roared with
laughter at the Colonel's expense.

A Word to Young Men.

A circular bearing the ear-marks of the
New Age office was circulated through the
city Saturday afternoon, disparaging the can
didates for aldermen nominated by the re-
publicans. They are represented as young,
inexperienced and inefficient men. with whom
it would be unsafe to trust the interests OF
the city. Men younger than the youngest OF
these have led armies, governed large coun-
tries. controlled and conducted extensive bus
mess. all with success. Several of these
candidates have had experience in the City
Council, all of them have business affairs OF
their own to attend TO, which they manage
with prudence, industry, economy and sue
cess. In the ewes of the New Age clique it
NAV be an offence to be Young, but the re-
nublican candidates were selected from the
voungish element of our citizens, knowingly
and purposely, tor the encouragement Of
Young men, and especially because the can
d;dates selected are known to be capable and
deserving, and safe to be trusted with the
management of city affairs. Tho Young men
sbouId have a chance. The remarks OF the
Now Age are insulting to them as body
and thew ought to resent them today at the
polls BY giving their vote and all the influence
which they can command to the republican
ticket for Mayor, Aldermen, Councilmen and
ward officers.

When the vessel bearing Mr. Wat.erson
back to his native land arrived in the lower
bay at New York, it was boarded by CORE
spondent Of the Herald, who declares that
mature was at her BEST" and ''the great
bronze girl stood out clearly defined against
the background of grayish blue sky" This
was very kind in nature and the bronze girl,
and due credit should be given them for their
efforts to make things look inviting to the
returning pilgrim. Henry had had no oppor-
tunity to know anything about the result Of
the election, for he had sailed before it was
held but lie was hastily given an outline of
the extent of the landslide, and was then
plumply asked what he thought of it. With
the promptness and decision Of Napoleon,
with whose ideas he had become saturated
while residing in Rue de Mont Tabor, Paree,
he declared there was nothing discouraging in
the result of the elections from his stand
not say, but it must be one he brought with
him, since there is nothing like it
west of the Atlantic in possession of
any Democrat He muttered something about
the Republican party being compelled to aban-
don the 'bloody shirt" if it ever hoped to
succeed, as though it was not the Republican
party that came out on top this time. Pro
ceeding to give his opinion of the defeat of
Mr.. Morrison, he was confident that the tariff
question had nothing to do with it, a species
of information evidently imported by him.
The paper with which he has been distantly
connected during the past summer made
desperate and prolonged effort to convert the
voters to the idea of free trade, and it cannot
be denied that kadi :. succeeded it would have
claimed victory on that ground. That it
was not successful, even in its own city, must
indicate something, the literary pilgrim to the
contrary notwithstanding. Further on he
evidently forgets his text and admits that
"the workingmen are protectionists." He
considerably allows that this is delusion.
1t was the same delusion that caused them to
hustle Mr. Carlisle and to retain Mr.. Hurd as
private citizen Mr. Watterson will be bet
ter posted by the time he reaches the wild

Our Own Joe Mackin.


The Democratic Joe Mackin of Indianapolis
never stood in dread of the local Circuit Court,
and so long AS he was menaced only by it's
power he joked with those who made virtuous
protest against his methods. and iokered the
votes into Democratic maiorties with much So
renity. A United States Court, however, is
rather serious institution, even in the eyes Of so
pleasant and practical joker as the Democratic
boss of indianapolis, and now that order for
the production of all tally-sheets and records Of
the election has been issued by Judge Woods,
the innocent gayety of large groups Of Demo-
cratic bummers and ballot suffers has been
eclipsed.
The sound Of the issuing of that order will
have been heard in every county of Indiana.
Frauds in process of completion will be stayed.
projects will not be matured, and old ones
will be delayed But as to the frauds actually
perpetrated there should be no cessation in
prosecution. Conviction should follow crime,
the prison should receive its proper guests.
The Republicans of Indiana, aided by few
Democrats who prefer honesty 10 success have
begun well. They should continue their good
work. 1t is necessary that the results of the
victory which the Republicans have gained
under the brilliant leadership of General Harri-
son should be secured But, above ALL 1t is neg
essary that the scoundrels who have falsi6ed
the count should be convicted and imprisoned.

Don you fret about that. Treasurer Cooper

able to account for the funds in his custody
was mere claptrap for base electioneering pur-
poses.-South Bend Times.
But "stuff" won't do. 1t was "stuff' that
was shown the alleged investigating commit
tee. No one charged that Mr.. Cooper would
net be able to account for the funds in his
custody. The charge was that the Democrats
would not permit an investigation by the last
Legislature when the condition of the
Treasury was such as to demand atten-
ton, and the people, therefore, deter
mined to have the books opened, and the
money counted. But at the present time,
and for some time past, although the State has
borrowed more than one million dollars, the
treasury has not had enough money in it to
pay the men who are building the new insane
hospitals.

given rest concerning her unfortunate con-
nection with the Chicago magazine. That
she was treated badly has been established,
and she doubtless has already suffered chagrin
enough to warrant her in the hope she may be
spared further trouble on that account The
press daily goes over the few unpleasant facts
in the case, until it has become so stale that
there is nothing new to be got out of it.
Let there be an end to it all, now and forever.

NOW YOU SEE 1T, AND NOW YOU DON'T

NOW YOU SEE 1T, AND NOW YOU DON'T.
The election has evidently "rattled" the
Louisville Courier-Journ and it now says:
Hereafter the protectionists will vote the Re-
publican ticket. They did it in Virginia the
other day. and in New York, and in Indiana
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, Minnesota
and the country generally" This does not
consist with the representations made by Mr..
Mcdonald and others of this State, who insist
that the tariff had nothing to do with the re-
suit Of the election. One thing is certain
and that is that the Democratic party has not
dealt fairly with the people in this thing. 1t
has lodged this question as best it could, and
has endeavored in every way to mislead the
voters, claiming to be in favor of free trade in
localities where it was thought that policy
would prove most popular, and of protection
where there was sentiment in that direction.
The action of the last Democratic House in re-
fusing to even consider the question of modi-
| flying the tariff is known to all the voters
in the country with intelligence enough to
read the papers; yet papers of the free trade
school, like the CD, have the courage to
ignore this fact and endeavor to make the peo-
pie forget it. No wonder, as that paper goes
on to say, '"the Democrats have not yet been
able to command the full vote of free
traders and tariff reformers." The Demo
cratic party cannot be trusted, and for that
reason it does not and cannot command the
full vote of free traders, though itfemains
that that party gives them more en- courage
ment than any other. When the Democratic
party perfects its claim to the votes of such
as believe in free trade, it will command them;
but when it does it will forfeit the support of
all who are friendly to the tariff. The party
is between two fires, commanding the respect
and support of neither the champions nor the
foes of the American idea. And now one
Democratic prophet declares that the tariff
question had nothing to do with the result Of
the election, while others confess that it had
very much to do with it. When the Demo
cratic party comes to some understanding
with itself it is possible that it may comma nd

THE New York Sun is a little in error when
it attempts to deduce from the election re-
turns that the Hon. Benjamin, Harrison, of
Indiana, has in any way suffered. He started
into the campaign with the State gerry
wandered by the enemy in such a
way that they expected something like
seventy majority OH joint ballot. 1t
looked like hopeless task to make any
attempt to overcome this. General Harrison
not dismayed, went to work to do what could
be done, and had the satisfaction of seeing
the State carried by the Republicans under
his leadership, and the Legislature in doubt
with good reason to believe that with any
thing like fair election it would have been
Republican without question. Whatever SEN
ator Harrison may be as a presidential posi-
bility it is not to be denied that he stands
high in his own State to-day, 18th the honors
of successful campaign thickly upon him.

paign than protection, for there was the gerry
mander, underlying all elections, and there
was the Encouragement Of the public insti-
tutions, and the refucal to allow the people to
know anything of the condition of the State
treasury, after it had been shown that there
was something wrong there All these things
combined to help the Republicans in their
canvass. But to say that the tariff cut no
figure in the election is saying too much. In
some mysterious way it appears that the pro-
nounced free-traders in various States be-
come convinced that the tariff had something
to do with the fact that they were repudiated.
