Judge Taylor and Mr.. Curticc.


TO the Editor Of the indianapolis Journap
Judge Taylor, in his card in this mornings
Journal, IN answer to "a Voter not only begs
the question, but misstatss the fact The facts
are as follows: Judge Elliott came to the polls
in the second precinct, Third ward, as
Judge Taylor states, with Mr.. G. G.
Curtice, whose vote was challenged.
Judge Elliott said If he could see some
fair Democrat like Judge Taylor, who knew Mr..
Curtice well, he could have tho challenge with
drawn, and we would not be put tot trouble
of swearing the vote in. After time Judge
Taylor came in, and Judge Elliott stated
the to him. Judge Taylor answered Judge
Elliott by saying he knew Mr.. Curties. but did
not want TO have anything to do with it, as some
of "thc boys" had told him that Mr.. Curtice had
bought property in Texas. Judge Taylor was
not solicited to make affidavit to aid Mr.. Curtice
to get in mis- vote. as he would have the public
infer from his card He was simply asked, as
fair man, to say that one OF his nsighhors had
right to vote and ought not to be challenged.
Judge Taylor says: ~ did not know then. and
do not know now, that Mr.. Curtiee was a legal
voter In that precinct" That statement will cer-
tainly strike the average man as little strange.
Judge Taylor ia n near neiehbor to Col. n. II.
Ruckle. The two families are on intimate
terms. Mr.. Curtices home has been
1t Colonel Ruckle's for years. He has
furnished room there, and has had for years.

continuously. Mr.. Curtice 10 Southern passen-

He comes home At every slection to vote. He
was home at the last general election previous
to this, aud Woodland voted for Judge Taylor,
lis nsiehbor, for judge His vote WAS not chal-
leneed at that election, and have doubt IL
it had been. Judge TAYLOR would have known he
was legal voter in that precinct
The Republicans of the Third ward are Justly
indignant at Judge Taylor and will not soon
forget this little affair. Many Of them have
voted for him II have myself voted for him
twice., but . man Who does not know whether
or not bis nearest neghbors are legal voters in
the precinct where he lives. and who states at
the polls on election day, and insisted on it, that

New Workers may we'll feel proud of the part
that their most conspicuous represen tative in
the next administration. Mr.. Levi p. Morton,
has played during the whole campaign. Under
any circumstances o candidate for the vice
presidency occupies position requiring extra
ordinary tact and good judgment There will
be general agreement on the fact that Mr..
Morton has displayed these qualities in very
high degree. He has not courted prominoncs,
but whenever circumstances have compelled
him to act the part of leader he has shown his
earnestness, sagacity and devotion to the great
principles and American interests involved in
the campaign. His counsels have been wise. his
influence has been large and his power for good
has been great.
AS presiding officer Of the Senate he will brin z
to bear qualities far more important for that
position than ability q debater skill in
parliamentary tactics. Experience In public
life and affairs; large knowledge OF the economic
and financial questions that will he dominant;
the practical sense that long business training
gives, ana the natural dignity and courtesy
that made Mr. Arthur so strong and popular in
the Vice-presidents chair-all these oualifica.
tions Mr.. Morton will bring to the discharge of
his duties.
Last, but not least, Mr.. and Mrs. Morton will
fulfill the social functions of their position in q
manner that will reflect credit on the admins

Reflections on the Political Conflict Between

his canvass with the most bewitching art He
had trysts with the mugwump voters. and he
boldly ogled the negro vote. Years ago he was
an Aboltionist. His heart yearned and his feel

ing freedom and poverty in Canada, and gave
him soup.
To the mugmump this campaign in the Fifth
congressional district OF Massachusetts was
uniquely interesting. It WAS contest between
tho most exquisite and charming product of the
school which carries its smelling bottles to
public gatherings. and a tried old man who has
taken hard knocks. and many of them, in the
held OF active strife. The horrid politicians
have won the fight The negroes remembered
that their old friend bad now allied himself with
the party which derives its power and fornida-
bleness from men who retain control Of the
Southern States by the suppression or the vote
of the black race. They voted for General
Banks. who had sturdily fought in their behalf,
and against the man who had sighed for them.
The mugwumps were not so many As they were
years ago. and q number of Democrats who
have an abiding faith in the virtues of the mas
culine mind cast their ballots for the Republican
candidate.

Advantages of the Electoral System,

New York Evening Post
We commend the existing situation to the at
teption of people who recommend q change in
our method of electirg President 30 as to
have the choice made by popular vote. Under
the existing system it was clear to every expert
enced student OF election returns before mid
night on Tuesday that Harrison had . majority
of the electoral votes. and consequently was
elected. But nobody has the slightest idea
to-day, or can have. for days to come,
whether he has also . majority OF the popu.
lar vote. A long time must elapse before all
the voting districts can possibly be heard from
IN such great and for the most part thinly set
tied States as Minnesota, California and Texas.
1t may easily happen that a candidate may have
. large majority OF the electoral votes, but a
very narrow prepopderance OF the popular vote,
Garfield in $780, who had pa electoral votes
to only l5o for Hancock but led Hancock by
only ,464 votes out Of more than 1900. 900. The
idea of subjectng the Nation to the strain of
waiting days and probably weeks to find out
who is TO be President. while all the back dis
tricts are being heard from, is simply preposter-

Wants q Clean sweep Made.


There is but one proper kind of civilservice
reform. That Is the kind that says the verdict
OF the people at the polls shall be re-
spected. During the several Republican admin
istrsrons that preceded that of Grover Cleve-
land no Democrat Was given Office, no matter
whether he was a veteran of the any
other kind Of veteran. During Cleveland's al
miuistration too many Republicans were kept in
office. Now, when General Harrison is inaueu-
rated let him have respect enough for the
VIII OF the people to tnrn every Demo
cratic federal offeehol6er out of office.
That Ia what he Was elected for Every
Democrats officeholder under President Har-
rison will resign II he has the proper amount of
self-respect, merely having the courtesy TO give
President Harrison the time necessary to secure
his successor and to permit the outgoing man TO
give the incoming one such details Of instruction
as will be OF service to him. Daniel Maeone

Returns from about sixty counties have been
received at the Secretary of States Office Of the
vote upon the State and county officers. and the
clerks of the Office are busy tabulatine them.
So far as received, they show that the Repub-

the same vote as their candidate for Governor,

Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear Sfr:-
Double Greek Alliance, No. 785, re-
quests permission to make manifest
through The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
their hearty appreciation and approval
of a letter over the signature of VIM,
Merritt in your paper Of Oct. 23d.
We endorse every word DR.. Merritt
has said, and will meet him and the
brethren in the city of Durham on the
18th of Nov. next, with two delegates.
We poor clod-knockers must do some
thing. We have been under the heel
of oppression long enough, and we are
determined, if there is any chance, to
have u rights, and not that rings
and trusts shall forever dictate to us
what we shall do, and where sell our
hard earned produce It is a thorn in
the flesh for US to see daily the rich
growing richer, while the poor con
tinue to 60 down hill. It seems to
me that times are harder than I have
aver seen them, still the palatial man.
sions of the King continue to rear
their lofty heads above the clouds as
though there were no poor in rags,
and children crying for bread.
Our Alliance was organized Nay
10th, with nine members; we now
number SO, and still they come. We
were promised by the Organizer, Rev.
V. N. Sewell, that we should have a
Lecturer. 1 think it would be of
great benefit, not only to us, but the
cause generally, that you send us a
Lecturer through this county and Cas-
well. We are in good working order
and high spirits. I think ere long all
who can will belong to the Alliance.
Why not? We have the power, then
why let rings and trusts forever
trample us under foot. We thank
you for such a paper as The Pro
GREss1vE FARMER. Every mar should
take it. Long may it live to battle
for the cause of the laboring man.
Yours respectfully,
J. l.. BROOKS, Sec'y.
