THE CIRCUIT AND COMMISSIONERS COURTS.

THE CIRCUIT AND COMMISsI0NERs' COURTS.
On all sides we hear of the desperate efforts
of Democrats to secure a continued control Of
the Circuit and Commissioners court. Among
Republicans they urge the importance of the
local residence of the judge-to Democrats
the political Importance of the court. In the
latter there is much significance. The
circuit judge appoints the jury commits
%sioners. who select the juries for all the
courts of the county, the grand as we'll. as
petit juries, and recent experience in the
failure of the grand jury to indict the tally
sheet forgers illustrates how material it is to
the administration of justice that we have
unbiased, non-partisan juries.
The circuit Judge also appoints the
RECRUITERS in all election contests in the
county and has exclusive jurisdiction of all
election contested cases. These considera-
tons should never enter the mind, but they
will so long as judges respond to the demands
of party. Outside of politics, Alex. C. Ayers
is a broad, fair-minded gentleman Of high
character, and for these reasons he was assist
ed to the Circuit Bench by many Republicans
of this city; but when the sealed ballot-box
stood in the way of the Democratic purpose
and Sterling Holt smashed" it with his
Ratchet. Judge Ayers could find NO authority
in his office to punish the outrage.
And again, when the Democrats were in
the act of stealing away the Office of Lieuten-
ant-governor from Colonel Robertson, and
needed the assistance of the Marion Circuit
Court, Judge Ayres rendered it promptly I'M
til rebuked by the Supreme Court.
With reference to the reasons urged why the
Judge should reside in this county, it is
entirely sufficient to say that Mr.. Hadley, the
Republican nominee, has announced that if
elected. he will establish one or more evenings
Of each week during the vacation of court,
when he will be in the city and at the court
house for the transaction of such business as
may come before him.
When the Democrats are soliciting votes
from Republicans for the circuit Judge, the
latter should be reminded Of the story Of the
spider and the fly. 1t is not the convenience
of the citizens of Marion county that 60 much
concerns the Democratic mind-it is the polit-
ical advantage they hope to secure by holding
on to the Circuit and Commissioner courts.

action of election officers in overwhelming
Democratic precincts to increase majorities.
These are some of-the good schemes" re-
ferred to by the prominent Democrat who ex-
pressed his confidence of carrying the State.
Others may come to light during the week.
Republicans everywhere must be on their
guard against these schemes from now until
the polls close and the votes are counted. Our
election law is good enough for honest men,
but it is no protection against such schemes
as these, unless aided and enforced with sleep
less vigilance.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-10-29

ONE part of the Democratic plan to bear
down Republicans this week and steal the
State, is the assumption of extraordinary
confidence. the b~oastful claim Of unquestioned
success, and the offer or acceptance Of bets on
the Democratic ticket. This is a mere bluff.
and it is designed to make it in all quarters Of
the State. Republicans should not be de-
ceived or disconnected. Let the Democrats
blow to affect the floating" vote, but the Re-
publicans should be relentless in their vigi-
lance and organization.

There is this further consideration in favor
Of supporting the administration on this issue.
II will leave the question still opsn for friendly
means of settlement of some kind, while a
support OF the Senate's position would close
all avenues OF future negotiations, and bring
upon the country the disastrous consequences
of retaliation, hostility, and possibly war. It
would put an end to all prospect Of improving
the commercial relations Of the United States
M Canada This is one of the questions
which the people should keep in mind in cast
ing their votes next November.

RUSK RATIFIED.

Gov. RUSK'S presidential ambition
has served good local purpose in slim
ulating an activity on his part in the
matter of Kidding Wisconsin of the vile
dens of vice which have so long dis
graced the northern portion of that
state. When RUSK's evangelists started
out on a missionary tour through the
country to work up presidential boom
for ''Uncle JERRY" they were met
everywhere with the proposition that
governor who didn't possess enough
moral courage and executive force to
suppress the open debauchery that was
making section of his own state dis
grace and by-word was hardly the
man to put forward as a candidate for
the office of chief magistrate of this
great nation. His returning mis-
sionarieS have informed the gov
ernor of the obstacle they met
in pushing his presidential boom,
and now the old man has taken off his
coat and has gone to work to do what
he ought to have done long ago. He
has set about in earnest to clean out the
dens and to break up the worse than Sod
omic traffic which has so long disgraced
state that didn't merit disgrace, and
would not have suffered it but for the
criminal negligence of its chief magis-
trate. 1t is, therefore, fortunate oc-
currence for Wisconsin that Gov. RUsK
got the presidential bee in his bonnet.
