THE mayoralty of Indianapolis is an
office of exceptional importance. The
chief executive of that city has been
clothed with great power and RESPONSE
bility by the legislature. The people
maniiestly appreciated this fact when
they elected Thomas Taggart mayor by
splendid majority. Mr.. Taggart is q
sound democrat, and renowned no
item Of his democracy, though candi-
date in a city where the republicans
were understood to be naturally in the
Ascendancy. He is successful bust
ness man, thoroughly identified with
the progress Of Indianapolis and hold
ing the confidence and esteem of the
entire business community. The de-
mocracy owe much Of the bigness Of
their victory TO the strong personality
and popularity of their candidate. Gin.

The movement Is well organized. but from the fiat failure of a similar tax effort in 1892 led to the impression that this would meet with no success. According to strieted offerings from first hands was due to the action spoken of, and the trade be- lieved that it will not be long before receipts would enlarge Disguised longs sold out, and the prices receded untilthey were under puts" when the buying. again aided by purchases for local bulls of a different class from those who sold out earlier, revived the dropping disposition of the market, and 2. recovery took place Before the close California would have the smallest crop in twenty-one years, and the final tone was firm at near the outside for the day with September 1sc higeh than yesterday.
