The Democratic nominee for the Office is
Mr.. S. N. Gold, for many years commission

The News.
MIR. Samuel N. Gold, the Democratic nomi-
nee for township trustee, was a member of
the Coy-Bernhamer canvassirg board. When
acertain precinct, possibly the second of the
Twenty-fifth ward, was reached, it was dis
covered that the votes for Judge Irwin had

whereupon, it is stated On good author

be thrown out, thus proposing to disfranchise
the entire Republican vote of that precinct
and thereby aid the conspiracy to steal that

Before the motion was put, it was found that
the same clerical error had been committed
with the vote for Albert Ayres, and as the
Democrats had majority of the votes in the
precinct, Mr.. Colds motion was not enter
tanned or voted upon. During the time con-

ONE great defect in the system of general suf-

tendency of enormous number of people to
judge matters by the force of their sentiments,
rather than by the dictates of their reason. This
is in many ways feminine characteristic, and
the danger which might be expected from unre-
strcted female suffrage would be that the de-

national policy be shaped at the bidding of i'm

of cool and dispassionate consideration of facts.

INDIANA IN 1919.

The Boston Herald, discussing the political
outlook, says:
Indiana is growing State, and this makes
an element of doubt in her vote; but though
the Republicans had popular majority there
two years ago, it was very small one. and
easily accounted for by Democratic folly.
OF the four contested Northern States we
should be inclined TO hold that Republican
chances were better in both Connecticut and
New Jersey than they are in Indiana"
That may do for Iong-range opinion but
it will not bear scrutiny. First while it is
true the Republican majority plurality of
two years ago, in Indiana, was not very large
numerically, it was large considering the cir
cumstances. The Republican plurality was
lands majority in New York was only 1,047
in a total vote of LII, 900, yet the Herald
expects him to carry New York again on the
strength of that meager majority. Under
the circumstances, Republican majority of
one in Indiana would have been great victory.
The Herald says the Republican victory in
1886 is ''easily accounted for by Democratic
folly" In so far as that is true it portends
Republican victory in 1888 Democratic
folly in this State is not only continuing in
fuence, but cumulative.one. The party has
carried over the stock of two years ago and
added largely to it. The Herald could hardly
be expected to know the true inwardness of
Indiana politics, but it should not fall into
the error of supposing that the crop of Demo
cratic folly in this State ever fails. The crop
now harvested or in sight is unusually large.
Finally, we fail to sec why Republican
chances should be better in either Connecti-
cut or New Jersey than in this State. The
Democrats carried both of those States in
1884. They carried them again in 1886, but
at the legislative election in 1887 New Jersey
was carried by the Republicans. The Re-
publicans have better foothoid and prospect
in Indiana than they have in either of the
other States named. They ought to carry all
three, but they certainly viii carry this
State if the national Republican convention
is wise enough to recognize the fact that In
diana is the battle ground.

containing marked articles referring in an
uncomplimentary way to himself, and to
throw them out of the mails, is Of the same
opinion. Postmasters and rostal-clerks who
find that the distribution os the newspaper
mail interferes with their duties party
workers also cherish similar notions. In
fact, the Democracy would get along much
more smoothly if literature in general, and
the opposition press in particular, could be
suppressed altogether. Fortunately how
ever, for the people who want to know what
is going on, the HAIRLESS and the Judds are
not likely to have their way entirely, and
papers will continue to be published and tell
the news and the facts without fear or favor.

Chamberlain spoke in the warmest terms of

with sentiments which did them honor and
which must be pleasurable to the English,
they looked to the mother country with
earnest desire and craving for justice and
