If any one is in doubt as to the true cause
OF the political revolution which took place
at indianapolis Tuesday let them ask the
unemployed labor of that region and they
Will get the correct answer.-Porter County

The Journal made noble fight in favor
OF moral government and assisted by the
better element in Indianapolis succeeded in
erecting the entire Republican ticket by
Republican.
The Republicans of indianapolis have the
congratulations of the Republicans Of the
State. The Republicans of Indiana will
TAKE new courage and will expect great
things of Indianapolis Republicans here
after.-tranklin Republican.
indianapolis has been redeemed from mis-
rule, and Sim Coy and his party must go
out of power. This is the first gun after
the battle of 1882, and we can look, for a
succession Of Republican victories all over
the country.-Tipton Advocate.
The indianapolis Journal is entitled to
a hearty vote of thanks for the good work
1t did in behalf of Mr.. Denny and the
whole Republican ticket. Come to think
OF 1t. the Journal is a pretty good paper
at all times.-Greensburg Standard.
The Denny campaign was one in the in
terest of good government, and many indie
pendent voters and good Democrats voted
as have lived on it's resources for the past
two years. 1t is matter of especial fe-
lcitation that Sim Coy is shelved.-Green-
castle Banner-Times.
The 'wide-open policy is now at an end
and we hope to see Mr.. Denny supercede
it with clean and law-respecting one
While the moral feature had much to do
with the result, the high taxes and dissat-
iSfacuon with the national adminiStra-
tons course We're, also potent influences.

Now let Mayor Denny and his associates
In the city government carry out their
pledges to the people, as we believe they
will: suppress gambling enforce the laws
regulating saloons, institute reform and
economy in the municipal administration.
+ This election marks new era in the his
h tory OF napoliS.-Liberty Herald,
: The Indianapolis city election was de-
cided largely upon the question whether
the gambling houses and saloons should
be kept open without restraint. The de-
cision was overwhelmingly against a wide
open town." The sooner sporting people
realize that they can't do as they please,
the better for their busineSs.-Evansvillc
Journal.
One of the best results Of the Indianapo-
lis election was the turning down of ex-
convict Coy. He was badly beaten in his
own ward. Decency in politics will prob
ably be forced the Democratic party.
Coy's defeat the result would have been ex-
hilarating in these days of Democratic as
cendency.-AIuncie News.
Mr. Denny has made a reputation as a
good campaigner, but the more difficult
task comes now when the administration
of an important office, begins But the good
sense he has displayed so far indicates that
while he will. doubtless, receive some adj
verse criticism, the business affairs of tbs
capital city will be honestly, faithfully and

The campaign was principally made by
the Republicans on law and order and the
liquor and gambling element actively
i'm league with the Democrats. This may
do in cosmopolitan cities like Chicago and
New York, under the head of Carter Har-
rison and Boss Croker, but Indianapolis
is too distinctively American for such kind
of politics, foreign to the true sentiment
of the country.-Goshen News.
The Indianapolis Sentinel comedies that
| the result of the election in that city was
| in part occasioned by the enforced idleness
| of a large number of voters. 1t is not un
| reasonable to accept this as true. Nor Is
number of American worbingmen will re
sent the free-trade attempt to take away
the bread and butter of the American wag,
Garner to give it to the European wage
| earner.-Logansport Journal.
The lesson from the result is unmiStak
| able. 1t is for good government, for hon
| esty of purpose and of action, for the exc
| cution of the will of the people. for the
economical disbursement Of money and the
maintenance of the citys credit. The Re
| publicans cannot claim the victory in the
| number of votes cast, because there ar'
| Just a few more Democrats than Repub
| leans in Indianapolis. and because all the
| best OF these Democrats voted the Re
| publican ticket But the Republicans car
| claim credit for the adoption of commend
| able principles upon which to make tht
| campaign and the selection of worthy can

| Local issues alone can hardly account 70

| probably all wrong, indeed, very wicked
| but all officese ckers in the Democrat

| will probably get over such manifestation
