TIE Philadelphia Times. discussing the
former attitude and influence of Indiana as
"a October State" says it was that which
put Mr. Hendricks on the Democratic ticket
for Vics-president in 1876 and again in 1854,
adding that che fulfilled his part of the pro-
eramms both times by carrying Democratic
Governor in October" The Times is in error
rs to 1884 Indiana was not an October State
then. The constitutional amendment fixing
the State election in November was adopted
March IA, 1881, and from that time Indiana
ceased to be an October State. 1t follows
that the Times is considerably off in saying
that when the Democrats elected Governor
Gray in 1884, the State was anchored for
Cleveland in November and resolved doubts

s'The Democrats Of Indiana love Mr. Cleve-
land for the vices which he has. They ap-
preciate President who gets into Office by
promises to sustain the civil-service law in it's
letter and spirit, and who breaks his word in
their behalf They feel that they have CO.

ally long for his reelection. The offenses

WHEN the bids we're opened few days ago
for paving street in Kansas City it was found
that all of them. three in number were exactly
the same in every essential respect. AS the bid
ders were all responsible, here was dilemma.
A friendly consultation opened a way out.
They agreed TO draw cuts for the contract, and
after three straws had been prepared and placed
in the hands of the city engineer they tossed
penny to decide the order Of drawing. The
emony was concluded with due formality, and
the holder of the shortest straw took the con-
tract, which involved $50, 900. This successful
application of primitive methods in municipal
affairs argues refreshing absence OF ring rule
and Doodle management in Kansas City.

THE Washington correspondents of the New
York Sun, referring to Gen. Tom Brownies re-
cent speech in the House, says:
There was something provocative of fun in
Mr. Brownies delivery. He has smile his
lips most of the time, red. clean-shaven face,
and very listless manner. He was in hurry
TO get through. and seemed to welcome inter
ruptions, which he answered with 8 lazy, good
nature. Those members who sat near him got
a great deal of fun out of the questions and an
swers. The rest of the house couldn't hear
them, for Mr.. Browne had not much energy in
his voice. There was witty Frenchman in the
press gallery drawing pictures. and once. when
lie saw Browne shaking his fist vigorously at
MS manuscript. but not speaking loud enough
to be heard twenty feet away, the artist dryly
remarked that he didn't why Mr.. Browne
should be angry at what he himself had written.
When Mr.. Browne finished there were cries of
Vote, VOTE the Democratic side. Mr..
Browne looked over at his enemies gravey, then
0rniled, and slowly retorted:

pointed at the result You should have ordered

WE have searched the Democratic platform
very carefully for some evidence of political
repentance, and we believe not in vain. It
required very close and careful search to
find it, but We have succeeded. OF course it
is not in the denunciation of the infamous
Encouragement of the Insane Hospital, the
reputation of Green Smiths usurpation last
winter, or the condemnation of the tally
sheet forgeries. It is MT in these, because
they are not in the platform. It is in the res
olution which declares that ssthe Democratic
party of Indiana believes in fair elections and
an honest count" and which condemns the
Republicans for setting the bad example Of
carrying elections by unfair and unlawful
methods" The declaration in favor of fair
elections is equivalent to demanding that the
Democracy shall turn over new leaf, and
the condemnation of Republicans for setting
bad example shows they are at least trying
to find some excuse for their past misdeeds.
There is touch of remorse in these declara-
tons that is closely allied to repentance.

Reeds Candidacy.

Nebraska
The Rev. Myron Reed, Of Denver, wha
was beaten at the last congressional election az
the Democratic candidate for Congress-, still
hopes to get an office, and is talking of running
for Governor next November. He is the man
who whooped it up for the strikers in his pulpit
during the troubles on the Burlington read. and
is something of an Anarchist himself, il We
not mistaken in the tone of his oratory. II
isn't often that the Democrats can get a clergy
man to be their candidate for anything, and
doubtless they will gladly accept the offer OF tbs
Rev. Reed to bear tie burden of defeated
eubernatorial candidate.

A PERSONAL QUARREL.

Causes Eleven Workmen to Leave the

Springtield---One Floor Shaky but the
Building Sound--Extortionate Rates
Charged for Board.
There were rumors on the street this
morning that some of the workmen had
left the Hampden Watch Works be-
cause they regarded the building as un-
safe. Upon investigation the rumor
proved untrue. 1t is said that the
floors shake slightly when persons walk
across them, audit somewhat interferes
with the wOrkmen in fitting together
watches, but there is not the least indi-
cation whatever of the building being
unsafe. Eleven of the mechanics, in.
Guiding one foreman, have left the shop
and three of them, with their families.
have gone back to Springfield, The
reason for them resigning their position
was some difficulty between several of
the workmen. 1t is also said that some
of the wOrkmen are a.little dissatisfied
their boarding places.
1t is charged about the streets that at
private boarding houses about the city
extOrtiOnate rates are charged for
board and that young ladies are
crowded in rooms like sardines in a
box. They have been used to securing
fair accommodations for a fair sum
and will not stand such treatment.
This should be frowned down upon.
Give good boarding at a fair rate.
