NO Discomfort WITH THE ADMINISTRATORS
THE DEMOCRATIC CHANCES OF ELECTING
A UNITED STATES SENATOR GOOD
Representative Bynum, of Indiana says that
when the result is figured out IL will be seen
that the republicans have not won much of a
victory in Center township Indianapolis and
vicinity; that there is not difference of fifty
In their majority for township trustee from that
by which Blaine carried the township Il is
probably an increase over Blaine's majority by
about twenty votes. He says the election has
no material significance, and that the republi-
can success, which consists simply in electing
their man TO place that has been
filled for two terms by democrat, is
not due to any discomfort with the national ad-
account of things purely local. The township
trustee has almost absolute power, levying
taxes, regulating schools and having absolute
regularities and charges of corruption. 1t was
charged that the last democrat who served as
toew9ssnip trustee was mixed up In the issue of
the frauduie township orders (khown as the
Indiana bonds), about which there has been SO
much scandal and there had been charges of
1t is customary, he says, for the two parties to
alternate In holding this office
REPRESENTATIVE KLEINER SAYS
that the trouble in his town, which changed a
democratic majority to a republican majority
OF nearly the same size, was that the democrats
WooAu hot u OOlaT, tney WOulQ not
give even enough to pay for the printing OF
tickets.
THE MOST STARTLING CHANGE
In the political complexion of things was in
Wayne county, where Mr.. Edgerton, the civil
service commissioner, came from. There,
where the democrats had always had sway by
a majority of about 800 the republicans this
time piled up 1000 majority, a gain of $500.
1t was limited that the appointment of another
CIVIL service commissioner from Indiana would
throw the state over TO the republicans beyond
dispute.
THE SENAToRSHIP.
Mr.. Bynum says that taking the state all
over, judging by the municipal elections, he
thinks the democrats would have it. The re-
suit as it stands, he says, will have no effect
upon the election of a successor to Senator Har-
rlSon In January. The democrats will beyond
all doubt elect the legislature in November,
ana VIII have a large majority for a democrat
either Mcdonald or Gray-to succeed Harrison.
In the senate the democrats have 16 out OF the
20 who will hold over, thus giving them ma
Jorlty OF that body to start with, and he pre-
ably 100, out of the $50 in the lower house.
AS TO which will be stronger, Gray or Mcdonald,
he says no one can tell yet; but that the only
two counties that have instructed have been
for Mcdonald.
Mr.. Bynum thinks the democratic defeats in
Chicago and Cincinnati are easily accounted
for by the troubles they have been having in
these places on account Of the election frauds
that have been exposed
