sULLIvAE,s IEOAPACITY.

The Republicans of indianapolis will
welcome the denomination by the Dem
ocrats of Thomas l.. Sullivan as their
candidate for Mayor, and will go into
the city campaign with an enthusiasm
born of confidence in their ability to
defeat him. In his previous campaigns
the claim has been made for Mr.. Sulli-
van that he was better than his party,
which might have been true without
making of him a particularly exemplary
citizen. 1t may be just as we'll to adj
NIT at the outset that he is personally
h-onest-mOst men are-but something
more than this is required to make a
charge of the affairs of a city of the
size and Importance of Indianapolis.
1t is a fact beyond dispute that
Mr.. Sullivan is the weakest man who
ever occupied the executive chair. He
has been dominated by the worst ele-
ments of his party, and is in every re-
spect s~ubservient to their wishes. Ward
heelers and bummers have been brought
to his support by appointments to in
spectorships of the most useless and
frivolous character, and gangs of alleged
street repairers have been employed to
swell the ranks of his adherents, for all
of which the public has To pay. His
Board of Public Works pays no regard
to individual rights. and treats that por-
ton of the public having business
with it with a contempt and impu-
dence that is unbearable. His Board
of Public Safety has made no
attempt whatever to enforce the laws.
and immunity is granted to It's violators
who will repay favors with political
support. Never since the days of 1.-The
commonest kind of a common deadfall"
has the lawless and vicious element had
such undisturbed freedom as it has to-
day. Every saloon and brothel in In
~dianapolis is a Democratic campaign
headquarters, and, perhaps, three
fOurths of the primaries at which dele
gates to Tuesday nights convention
were chosen. were held in these places.
The management of the finances has
been either lmbeclle or something
worse, and to the shame of the "busi-
ness administration" the bonds of In
~dianap0lis are in default to-day for
the first time in its history.
Mayor Sullivan, so far from being
"better than his party" is the plant
tool of the worst elements it contains.
He has no more backbone than an an
gle-wOrm. no mind of his own, no con
victions. and no purposes beyond con-
tinuing himself in Office through q part
nership with the denizens of the slums.
Whoever the Republicans may nomi-
nate, he will be an infinitely ADLER.
broader. better man for Mayor than Mr..
Sullivan, and, unless all signs fail, will
succeed that intinitesimal citizen in
Office.

CAUTION.

THE JOURNAL desires to warn all its agents
and individual patrons in Indiana against paying
money to a scoundrel going about under various
aliases representing himself as q travelling man
for this paper. He is a fraud, ana would be
arrested il we could catch up with him. He has
swindled a number Of persons out OF small
amounts on subscription account, and has tried
to beat his way at several hotels in the smaller
towns. The only travelling agent THE JOURNAL
employs In this State is Mr.. W. 8. King, who is
always prepared TO identify himself with letters
from the publishers of the paper, and who, Of
course. is always provided with plenty of funds
for his travelling expenses We repeat the eau
ton: Pay no money to UNKNOWN persons who
claim to represent THE JOURNAL, as we Will not
be responsible for such transactions.

A CORRESPONDENT remarks that "the
Journal will not refuse to take a silver
quarter ut its face for subscriptions"
borne up by a gold basis. In sums of
$40 it can be exchanged for coin certif-
Gates, and with coin certificates gold
can be had. But change to a silver
basis, in which rs cents worth OF silver
bullion would make q silver dollar pass
ing as legal tender, and there would be
a change. Printing paper is a world
wide commodity. Its price in the COM
mercial world would be i'm gold. but
here it would be in silver, and would be
% per cent. higher, SO that the present
quarter would lose One-fourth of its
purchasing power. But would not the
farmers wheat be % per cent. higher?
Yes, in silver; but as the surplus is sold
in Europe, the farmer would get the
gold price with % per cent. added. 1t
would purchase no more cloth, sugar or
other necessaries of life han if he re-
ceived gold and paid in gold prices, be-
cause the prices of everything in silver
would be % per cent. higher than in
gold countries. If one had notes to pay.
and it was not stipulated therein that
they were payable in gold. the silver
dollar would pay as much debt as a gold
one and would be obtained at less cost.
But in that event the lenders, the saw
ings bank depositors. the owners of
building association shares would be
paid in silver which had lost % per cent.
of its purchasing power. The money
received by the pensioner would be on
a silver basis. SO that the purchasing
power of an So per month pension
would be reduced, in fact. to So. be-
cause silver prices would be % per cent.
higher than gold.

THE COLORADO WAR WHOOP.

The Colorado people are making them
selves ridiculous by their curse on the
silver question. The int1ammatOry
speeches of Governor Waite and others
at the Denver meeting. in which wal
and bloodshed were predicted as inev-
liable consequences if 1.-THE conspiracy"
against silver were persisted in, only
serve to emphasize the unreasonable
ness of the advocates of free silver. "Ir
is infinitely BETTER" declared Governor
Waite, that blood should flow to the
horses brides than that our national
liberties be destroyed" There is moth
ing in the charter of our national liber-
ties that authorizes the owners and OPP
orators of Colorado silver mines to force
q suicidal financial policy on the gov
eminent, nor is there anything in the
range OF reason to justify the Governor
of that State in invoking such bloody
vengeance if the people choose to doubt
the wisdom of trying to maintain
a double standard with O hun.
dred-cent dollar on one side and
a fifty-cent dollar on the other.
Much as we may sympathize with the
people of Colorado in the distressing
position in which they are placed owing
to the temporary paralysis of their prin-
remind them that the pending question
is not one of providing profitable m
ployment for a few thousand persons in
the silver mining States, but of provid-
ing q sound currency for a nation of
Co. 00. 900 people. There are many other
interests and industries in this country
of far greater magnitude than the ell
ver-mining industry, each and every
one of which has a right to demand that
the money question be settled according
to right principles. without special ref
erence to the interests OF the owners
and operators of silver mines. If, after
careful consideration OF the subject, it
shall be found that the United States,
alone or in connection with other ma
tions, can establish and maintain a BIZ
metallic standard On q basis that will
justify the continued coinage of silver,
that basis should be adopted; otherwise
the further coinage of silver should be
stopped until such time as it shall have
a fixed value. The people of Colorado
are not likely to hasten the solution of
the question by holding war meetings
or threatening to ride their horses bridle-
deep in somebody's blood if their views
OF the question are not adopted.

age by the Legislature was urged by cit
izens' committee appointed by the Com
mercial Club, composed of Republicans

to it came from an active Democratic
lobby, which, fortunately. was not able
to defeat it. Although the Legislature

cratic it is in no sense a Democratic

ence to the current transaction by

the other, the city has been juggled out
of a large sum in interest and placed in

ures in the business management of the
