As 81, 900, 600 has been taken from the taxable
value Of farm lands, the increase thought neces-
sary by Commissioner Sahm to meet the current
expenses Of the county, without economy in ex-
penditures, must be borne by the city real es-
tate. This is already appraised at its full selling
value and the $4,000, 900 aggregate desired

be gained by adding SO, 800, 600 to the present

A DEMOCRATS VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
At the beginning of the campaign which ends
in the election to-day, the Democrats were jubi-
liant, impudent and absurd in their claims of a
great majority for Rodgers. 1t was cry for
all or nothing, but the developments Of the
canvass in the right estimate to be
placed upon Rogers's posing as an alleged work
ingman's candidate, the marked opposition
against him among railroad men, from whom it
was claimed he would get a solid vote, the dis
affection among Democratic Germans and the
like, have convinced his supporters that
they have load to carry: 1.-THE
worker, last night never looked better. II
think we will elect Many, but we can't do 1t I'M
less every Republican comes out and does his
duty by voting an unscratcaed ticket. The only
great danger ] see is in the stay at homo vote.
Let the big Republican wards come up with
count tomorrow night showing that not vote
has been lost and we will get decisive major
ity."
what is your opinion OF the results" was
asked of prominent Democrat, last night
II can't say. have been too busy otherwise
to pay much attention to this election. I don't
think Rogers has got a walk-over by any means.
We are losing among the Germans. BY the
way, see that the German Telegraph has had
not word to say in favor of the Democratic
candidates That paper, as far as it is con-
cerned, is allowing the election to go by default"
II have been around great DEAL said anoth-
err man of the same political shade, "but do
not see anything except close call for Rodgers
The promises that accompanied his nomination
have not been fulfilled. You Republicans have
a popular candidate, one who is not hampered
by record. and then you have attained great
advantage in claiming that Kitz's business as
trustee should go through Republicans inspec-
ton, But the tax question you have raised has
done fully as much if not more in bringing the
property holders to your side.'
"Rodgers's support then, will be left to the
Sim Coy elementp
"Oh, Sim nominated him. It Is bad for our
party that it's management has fallen into the
hands of such people. Well, day of reckoning
is coming, but when l can't say A number of
our candidates for the county ticket COM
PEELED to toady to these fellows on account OF
the nominating convention. Between you and
me, l would like to see Rodgers defeated 1t
would be lesson to the party"
Republicans must remember, though, that in
gratifying the wish of this honest Democrat
every one of their votes will be required. A
stay at-home will count for Rodgers and Palmer,
and thereby subject property to not only
enormous real estate appraisement, but high
tax when the next Legislature relieves Marion
county of restricted levy of thirty three cents.
BLAsPHEMER PALMERs CANDIDACY.
Marsh Palmer is for high appraisement He
calls it an equitable adjustment. Marsh Palmer
has blasphemed the pulpit, denounced soldiers
of the Union. and said had he been East during
the war he would have joined the rebel
army. He also objected to his son join
ing typographical union, and when
this fact was published he asked the reporter to
modify it. ''If you DON'T he exclaimed with
an oath, IN have all these id Knights of
Labor whooping about me-" 1t was in Marsh
palmers interest that Assessor Messick spoke
when he held caucus with his Democratic dep

meant that the deputies should use the first
three days of their work in distributing taxlists
in electioneering for Palmer. Many of them
have been spreading abroad his tickets. The
tax payers are thus paying Palmer's electioneer-
ing expenses. This alone should induce every
Republican and honest citizen to come out and
vote.
