After q hard fight the Republicans Of
West Indianapolis have como ont victor
ious In their struggle. The balloting yes
terdsy in that suburb resulted in the cleo
tion of theSntlre ticket with the exception
of A. b. Tolin. the Republican candidate
for trustee. and he led his ticket by seven
votes. Tolin is employed &C the stock
yards and his opponent. Hsgedorn. is q
grocer. There was o sentiment against
Tolin on account of his employment and
several Republicans voted for his oppo-
nent. who was elected by thirty-seven
votes. The result of the election. however.
is Republican victory and Is so acknowl-
edged by the Democrats In the suburb, who
gave uphopes ut O'Clock IN the afternoon,

been getting. The pay of the linemen has
heretofore been 81. 25 per day. the same as

Garbage Bids Rejected.


The board yesterday decided u reject
ell bids that have been received for the
erection of o garbage plant and to read
vertise for them. 1t took this action be-
lieving that those received are too high
and that the work can be done cheaper.
Two bids were opened on the day set for
their receipt one being signed by w. s.
Ludlow. of Cincinnati, agent. for the BEN
zine or chemical process. and the other by
the Rider Garbage Furnace Construction
Company of Pittsburg.
The bid of the former was for the disp0-
sition of garbage alone and was at the rate
of $4,000 per year for the ten ear contract
That of the latter was for the disposition
of garbage and night soil by the crematory
process, and was at the rate of $4,000 for
the first year and 81. 900 additional for each
year thereafter.
This action on the part of tho board was
taken after conclusion arrived at on q
very late date. The board had, in fact, q
communication drawn mp and ready to be
signed. addressed to Leon o. Bailey. at
him that the bid of the company was ac-
copied, and that the city was ready TO en-
ter into q contract at once.
w. S. Ludlow, the representative of the
chemical process company. which was the
unsuccessful bidder, has been q frequent
caller at the Office of the board of late and
has held various and sundry star cham
ber' sessions with it. IL has been reported
that he has offered to do better by the city
that he will include in his next offer the
disposition of night soil as we'll as of
garbage. The new bids will be received

Paper Hangers Strike.

The paper hangers did not reach o settle
ment yesterday. and. at q meeting last
night. adopted resolutions resepting the
statement by Albert Gall that the strike
was precipitsred by q few hot-heads."
The matter. the union declares. has been
under careful consideration for the past
three weeks. The statement that we
want to charge the larger firms
more than the smaller ones Is also erroneous,
as every body knows who is in any way
connected with the wall paper trade. The
whole trouble lles In the feet that we, ask
for o reduction of tho per cent which we
give the dealers for furnishing rs the work.
The now list Is even lower than tho old one
in q few items. The fight is simply on the
per cent. and does not affect the public
in any way except that it is. as before
stated. o trifle lower"
The four firms which have refused to sign
the scale are Albert Gall. Eastman.
Sohleioher 81 Lee. Cleland 81 Cathcart and
w. II. Roll. The strike affects eighty men,
the full number of the union. One Of the
journeymen leaders said last night that
these firms seem more hopeful of an early
settlement than they on his side do.

Plasterers' Strike.

Inc status OF ana1r6 between the plaster
ers aud the contractors remains practically
unchanged. J. A. Dunlap said yesterday
afternoon that the contractors had ex.
pressed their willingness to give the men
IS cents an hour. which is q raise of 5 cents.
but they declined to accept IL. The main
fight 10 upon the demand Of the plasterers
that they be permitted to do
their own lathing. The contractors
have been paying the lashers
age lsther will put up from 100 to 1900
laths per day. Tho plasterers. said Mr..
Dunlap, are very few Of them able to put
MP moro than eight hundred per day. and
for this they want ne to pay them SS. 90.
They claim that thoir men are able to put
mp one hundred yards per day, and we
agreed to pay them the WAGES asked il
days work. but they refused to accept
this on account of it being piece work. to
which they are opposed"
Yesterday afternoon the plasterers' COM
mittee met Q committee of the bosses and
learned that Sullivan. Harness. Dunlap.
Schultz and Somers wero ready to grant
the terms. but the others would not. At
the meeting Of the journeymen, last night
it was decided that no agreement would be
satisfactory or acceptable unless all the
bosses become parties to it. It was de-
cided to make firm stand for the demand,
and committees were appointed to watch
the movements Of the bosses to SOC tina
they did not run in outside journeymen.
They say they can fight for two months if
necessary.
