Bristol Reporter. March 4.
The Bristol Fair & Stock Association
met at the Bristol court room on Satur-
day afternoon last. The following off.
GERS were elected for the incoming year:
President, NJ. l.. Thomas; Vice Presi-
dents, A. d. Reynolds, j. d. Masengill,
j. M. Byars, N. d. Bachman, Nat Will

H. H. Masengill, ]. c. Conway. This is
strong organization, composed as it is
with some of the solid men of this sec,
ton under their management we ought
to have a great fair next fall. The AS
ISOLATION in its selection of a prominent
young farmer of Sullivan for President,
recognizes the farming interest, and it is
a recognition dcservedly made. Mr.. G..
W. Kuhnert, the former President, re-
tires after an excellent record Of several
terms.
Before adjourning, after some discus.
sion, the Association, with the assent of
almost all the sto ckholders present, pass
ed resolutions expressing a determine
ton to exclude games Of chance and beer
and liquors from the Fair grounds. This
is a great victory for law and order, and
the Fair Company deserves the support
and encouragement of all for taking such
a bold stand at the outset. The Fail
ought to score its greatest success thi,

GUARD AGAINST FRAUDS.

It is the present duty of ali honest men to
ger from the moment the polls are opened till
they 80 closed, and the ballots are counted
and the result declared, of frauds being prac
ticed. There is likelihood of the Demo
cratic gerrymanderers attempting the trick Of
Switching" ballots, meaning that Democratic
ballots will be adroitly substituted for Re-
publican between the hand Of the voter and
the ballot-box, SO that the ballot given in never
reaches the box at ALL Failing in this, there
is danger of the ballots being falsely counted
when they are taken out at night. These
things must be guarded against, and the only
approach to safety in this thing is for honest
and trusted men to be present at every poll
from the hour it is opened till it is closed,
and to closely scan every movement made
The men dishonest enough to perpetrate the
DISTINGUISHING gerrymander will not be above
cheating in the election. 1t must
be borne in mind that the man at the
head of the Democratic campaign IN Marion
county is none other that 'Sim" Coy, man
who has no respect for the law, and who never
misses opportunity to attest his contempt for
all legal restraint. This is the kind Of man
the Democratic party has intrusted with the
serious business of conducting the elections.
That he would hesitate at anything, however
dishonorable, is not to be thought of. The
necessity of careful watching need scarcely be
urged if the people will only take the trouble
to reflect moment. If lawlessness is to be
preferred to decent and impartial enforce
ment of the laws, then it need not matter
what is done to-day; but if the voters of In
dianapolis, Of Marion county and of the State
at large, believe in progress toward better
things, it is their duty to attest their desires
to-day by voting for the men and measures
best calculated to bring the needed reform.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

The local election returns will be received
tonight at the counting-room of the Journal,
to which our friends throughout the city and
county are asked to send or bring the figures
at as early an hour as possible.
The general election news from this and
other States will be announced from the bal
cony of the Journal editorial rooms as fast as
received. The Indiana election figures will
be compared with the vote for President in
1884. The Democratic plurality then was
1890. There are 1,678 election precincts in
the State. 1t would require an average gain
of four and a-half votes to the precinct for the
Republicans to carry the State. If these fig
ures are borne in mind it viii be easy to de-
termine from the returns, as received, whether
the drift is favorable to Republican success.
In our city columns will be found the vote
by precincts cast for Governor in 1884, which
will be useful for comparison with to-day's

The Way of the Candidate.
North Carolina Letter.


Politics is saience kere, just like it is in
Georgia It is hot now, and most everybody
who has nothing to do is running for something.
A wirv chap from Coon Hollow, whose name
was Virgins. came to town the other day, and
told a candidate that if he would give him FIVE
dollars to treat on, he could carry every vote in
his beat. OF course ne gave it to him. When
the candidate happened over there last Satur-
day, he found Virgins just saturating the boys
with whisky, and heard him say: "Come up boys
Come up and help yourselves. This here is
Wigginses whisky. When Virgins are q run
mir he don't forget his friends" It turned out
that Virgins was candidate for constable, and
took this method of raising the wind. He never
said word for the man who furnished the
money. There is q Dutchman running for the
Legislature in these parts who is not skilled in
politics, and when he found few sovereigns in
one beat who were against the stock law, he
chimed in with them and said that it YVES an out
rage and 80 forth, and should never have his sup
port. Next day he met his opponent over in an
other beat where there were lots Of voters gath
cred, and everyone to a man was in favor
unanimously. when his opponent who was up
making a speech said "Now Deidrich, didn't
you tell the boys at Hogwallow yesterday that
you was against tho stock law; didn't your
Deidrich wilted and said nothing. His opponent
continued in laundering voice: 'Deidrich,
what are you for to-day, and what will you be
for tomorrow Deidrch saw that every eye
was upon him. and he neryously scratched his
head and said, in half Dutch and half English:
IFalo-sitzen. I ish for for for eco no my'a
which was his Dutch for economy. They say he
will be left Verify, politics is hard road to
travel, and the way of the candidate is hard.

THE statement of Collector Hunter, Of this
district, respecting the employment Of ex-
soldiers in the revenue service, will not hold
water. During Mr.. McKay's term of Office,
receiving it from the hands of his predecessors
there were forty-six ex-Union soldiers on the
pay-rolls. Mr.. Hunter has this roll in his
office, and can readily verify the asser-
ton. The roll contains brief record of
the military service of each of the forty six
men. Only one of those forty-six men is
now in the service in this district 1t is as
serted that Mr.. Hunter has appointed but
five ex-soldiers since his accession to office
He says he has appointed thirteen. 1t would
be easy for him to give the names, and the
company and regiment in which they served.
The facts, as shown by the records of the Of
fice bear out to the letter the statement Of

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's $500 contribution
to the New York Democratic campaign fund
last week, bore swift results. The chairman
of the Pennsylvania Democratic central COM
mittee heard of that contribution, and forth
with posted a circular to government en-
ployes at Washington who hailed from that
State, and demanded that they send in their
offerings to aid the brethren at home, and
also that they come home to vote, assuring
them that the President could not now object
or interfere. The chances are that the en-
ployes are not half so glad to learn of their
opportunity to ignore the civil-service law as
the managers at home are to inform them.

WHAT Is TO Re DECIDED.

The taxpayers of Indiana, all of whom are
supposed to be interested in good govern
ment, are directed to the fact that the issues
are to-day exactly the same they have been
from the outset of the campaign. The DEM
ocratic party has not attempted to reply to the
arraignment that was presented at the time
the campaign opened. There has been no
attempt to meet and disprove the damaging
charges made, but a studied effort to draw
attention from them. 1t remains fact that
the doubtful condition of the States treasury
mau in the State, outside of the few who are
in the ring that profits by it, who can tell
anything about the true condition of the
treasury. 1t has been admitted, for it could
not be denied, that over million dollars were
borrowed for the purpose of completing the
State house and the new insane asylums, yet
at this time the treasury is practically empty,
and estimate allowances, evidences of the
States indebtedness, are afoat to the amount
of more than one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars. Ii has been apparent for months
that the treasury of the State has been badly
managed, and there is no way of getting at
how much has been wasted, or worse, without
electing Republican Treasurer, who will
open the books and make a showing. This
should be a point of business to-day for all
who feel that this things should not be tcler-
ated.
The condition Of the Insane Hospital, which
has been established beyond successful con-
troversv, should be looked into and remedied
1t is horrible disgrace that the people of In
diana allow the unfortunates confined there to
become the victims of brutality, avarice and
personal speculation. 1t is enough for honest
men to know that they have been fed on dis
eased pork and on butter not fit to be eaten,
the reason being that such articles were fur
nished by favorites of the management who

jority of seventy in the next Legislature.

day, OF things will go on in the way they have

region the chief occupation of whose people is

wishes Of its citizens. A Democratic vote

and organized resistance to the constitutional
rights of American citizens.

SOME one at Chicago deserves to be roughly
handled by the law. On the occasion of a fire
of some magnitude there the telephone wires
were disarranged, as they are likely to be in
such accidents. Men were sent to repair the
breaks before the firemen HAD got through
their work, and though they were warned not
to proceed with repairs, they did go on, and
the result was that a portion of cornice was
thrown down, fatally wounding a well-known
and efficient fireman. Somebody deserves to
be sentenced to long term Of Imprisonment
for that, for the services of fireman are
dangerous enough without having him sub
jected to the criminal haste Of a corporation
intent more on making money than respect
ing the rights and lives of others.
