Henry, republican, defeats NJ. r. Crabill,
democrat. for mayor, by 400. The re-
publicans also elect all the other city
officers by slightly larger majorities and
all three of the councilmen. This gives
the city council into the control of the
republicans, that body standing four re-
publicans 10 two democrats. The vic

night, the candidates heading a process
sion with a band and marching through
the streets. The change in the majority

FIT. WAYNE REPUBLICAN.
"A Democratic Split Causes the Loss of
the City.

FIT. WAYNE, Ind. May Especial
The day opened with a thunder-shower,
but the skies cleared in a few minutes
after the polls opened. At noon two
thirds Of the entire vote of the city had
been cast. The party workers used every
effort to get out the entire vote, and
when the polls closed tonight the most
exciting battle of ballots ever held in Fl
Wayne was over.
The democrats, republicans and indie
pendents had complete tickets in the field
for the city offices and councilmen. The
fight was made against the democrat tic
nominees on the grounds that
the saloon men manipulated the finances
and secured the nomination of
Shambaugh for mayor by fraud. The
Sentinel and Staatz-Zeitung, both demo-
cratic papers, published these charges in
glaring headlines.
The democrats claimed that the repub-
1ican nominating convention was cap
tanned by the a. p a. and the battle
was waged on these lines and party
ties were at times lost sight of. Even
the republican papers were lukewarm in
the support Of the heads Of the ticket
The headquarters of the various can
didates were crowded tonight by hun
dreds of enthusiastic politicians and the
town was wild with excitement, even
more pronounced than on the occasion of
the national election.
Oakley. republican. was elected mayor
by a majority Of $40. and Jeffries, repub-
lican, for city clerk, was elected by a
small majority.
The indications at midnight are that
HalberhOrn, republican, for water-works
trustee, has defeated Giraffe, democrat.
McCulloch and Bittler, the other two
democratic candidates for water-works
trustees, were elected by about three
hundred majority. Kelley, independent
for mayor, and Carroll, populists, did not
poll 400 votes together.
The entire democratic council-at-
large ticket-Griebel, MOhr, Fisher, Nc
Donald and Waltemath is elected by
majorities ranging from 200 to 300 The
democrats also elected Tilgar. Somers.
Scheid and Borkenstein ward council
men and the republicans carried for
councilmen six of the ten wards, elect
ing Glenn, Young. Wolf, Hid, Soesch
and Kelver. The council will stand nine
democrats to six republicans.

Democrats sweep Covington.

CONVICTION, Ind, May Special
The election held in this city today was
the most holly contested of any in its
history. The interest was equal to that
OF a national election. Buggies and car
riages were brought into play and every
effort made TO get every voter to the
polls. County Chairman Keefer mar
shaded the republican forces under the
advice and direction Of ex-United States
Treasurer Nebeker and Judge Lewis.
Notwithstanding this the democrats
swept everything except two cOuncilmen.
When the result was announced the
democrats went wild for a time, a band
was secured which marched through the
streets playing lively airs, while the
crowds cheered the successful candi-
dates. The majorities on the general
ticket ranged from thirty to eight-one
votes

THE CONTEST AT ST. PAUL.
Smith, Democrat, Elected Mayor by a
Small Plurality.

ST. PAUL, May 1.-Rainy, threatening
weather seemed to have little or no effect
on the city election today, a very full
vote being cast early in the day. The
registration exceeded the highest prev
ious record by more than 5000, and the
vote was also phenomenally large.
There were three candidates for Mayor,
ex-Mayor r. A. Smith being the demo-
cratic, F. B. Doran, republican, with the
citizens committee Endorsement, and Col.
]. H. Davidson, heretofore a republican
and now running as the socialist labor,
populist and prohibitionist candidate. A
full city ticket was also elected.
Up to this hour Il a. m.) it looks as if
Smith was elected mayor, although his
own party admits the result is close.
Fifty-four out of Ill precincts give
Smith, 5,632; Doran, republican, 512S;
and Davidson, popuist, 696. The repub-
licans do not yet admit Smiths election,
although it seems very probable.

Mr.. Jacob c. Dunn, Indianapolis, Ind
Dear Sir: Recently my friend, John c.
McCutcheon, mailed me one dozen of
your 1.-The Worlds Silver Question" So
far as / have read / consider nothing
better has been written this subject
the most important that has ever con-
fronted the human family, because IL
touches every home. Your views as eX
pressed and set forth in your book have
been mine for years and since 1873 have
regarded all silver legislation cOwardly
and simply done for political catch vote
advantage.
The silver question is not a question
that concerns a few ''mine-owners.' it
is the question that troubleth Israel
the world over. From the destruction
of silver has come forth unrest, idleneSs,
grangers. farmers, alliance, populist.
Coxey, poverty. starvation and history
may repeat itself and close the grand
opera with the French revolution.
Universal bimetallism upon a fixed and
acceptable ratio will in my opinion give
to the human race new life, hope and
happiness, and nothing else will. Yours
truly, ii. hNlPPENBEhCT.
