Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKFORT, Ind, June 13.-The Clin-
ton county Republicans are rejoicing to-
day over the fact that their Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners yesterday paid off the
last obligation incurred by their Demo-
cratic predecessors, and Clinton county to-
day is out Of debt and has money ahead,
the first time in twenty-five years. When
the Republicans secured a majority of the
board, five years ago, Clinton county, by
to the extent of $4,000. The county to-
day. beside being free from debt. has S24,-
097.S5 surplus funds. That improvements
have continued during this period it may
be stated that Clinton county constructed
twenty iron bridges during the past year
alone. This wonderful showing is due to
the fact that the Republicans elected
three business men for commissioners.

THE SILVER CRAZE.
Mr.. Schwab Thinks Ii Has Reached
the h-Water Mark.

NEW YORK. June 1}.-Gustav III. Schwab.
chairman OF the executive committee of
the sound money committee of the Chamber
OF Commerce of the city of New York,
said. concerning the Chambers crusade
against free silver: 1.-The high-water mark
or the silver craze has evidently been
reached. The most significant thing TO en-
phasize this fact is the action of the Pop
ulist State convention of Des Moines. Ia.
at which Gen. James Il. Weaver and his
followers VINO represented tire radical wing
of the party. were completely turned down
by the more conservative elements. The
one cheering thing of the whole fight is
that the populist party is disintegrating
and that sound sense is finding foot
hold among the farmers. The campaign
OF education is bearing fruit and unless
all signs fail before the presidential cleo
ton occurs next year the rampant silver
ties will be routed horse and foot. Both
political parties are making bids for the
sound money sentiment among the voters
and IL Is believed that the Buckeye State
Will be found IL line with the Eastern
States on this great question.
Indiana shows a strong following OF
sound money men and the indications are
that Senator Voorhees,, the champion OF
free silver. will have a hard time to con-
vince the honest farmers OF his State that
the so cents can be made into a, dollar.
The fiasco of the so-called Springfield con-
vention,' I'm Illinois. has proved "A damper
on the hopes and expectations OF the sill
verites."
