of It.


of It.
MADISON. Ind. June l9.-[Special. The
people ofJefIerson county, principally the
farmers, firing OF corrupt ring rule, have
decided to put an independent county
ticket in the field
A meeting was held in North Madison
Saturday and a convention called for July
% to nominate u full ticket and elect a
county central committee. So rotten and
so thoroughly under the control OF the
gambling element OF the county has the
ring in power become that the independ-
ent movers, who are about equally divided
politically. expect a large following from
the republican ranks and the solid sup
port of the democrats. who are so strongly
in the minority that they cannot hope TO
elect straightout democratic ticket. The
move seems a very popular one. There
are twenty-odd lodges of the +. NJ. b. A.
in the county and they will support the
independent ticket. 1t is the intention Of
heretofore non-office- seeking citizens,
about equally divided politically, nomi-
mated.
An address will be issued to the people
this week calling on them for their CO.
operation in the move to relieve Jefferson
county of corrupt, gambling protecting,
republican ring rule.
The court house ring is badly worked
up over the matter, and is using every en-
deavor to deceive the public into the be-
lief that they are not protecting gambling.
No one believes them, however, as they
refuse 10 interfere with the gam bling dens
of the city, the proprietors thereof hold
ing them under thumb.
