The finding of a new and Immensely pro-
ductive gas we'll so near indianapolis as
Broad Ripple. with the strong probability
that 1t is tapping a great basin OF gas
like those about Kokomo. Muncie and
Noblesville, settles the question of fuel in
this city for some years to come and will
at once have it's effects upon the industrial
interests here. Indianapolis has greatly
profted by the use of this cheap and con-
venient fuel. but not to the extent ii might
have done had the wells been nearer at
hand. The companies have never been able
to supply all the manufacturing establish
ments here during the winter. when private
residences nave the preference, and the
rates are necessarily higher than can be
obtained at Muncie. Anderson, Elwood and
other points. For this reason many fac
tories that would otherwise have been To-
Gated here went to those places. With gas
in great quantity less than ten miles away
the situation is very different and gives
this city an unequaled advantage as q
manufacturing point. If the newly found
supply proves as extensive as indicated
Indianapolis will be in a fair way to enjoy
a boom as soon as the election of McKin-
ley buries the silver question out of sight.

In several of the counties in this State
the Republicans thus early have so COM
plete an organization that the ounty
headquarters have the names of all the
Republicans who may be affected by the
silver craze, and of all the Democrats who
are not inclined TO vote the Chicago ticket.
Such a canvass in one of these counties
where the silver detection was reported az
''frightfur' has disclosed that it is of little
consequence. Generally speaking. when
such a personal canvass is made it will
appear that more Democrats are hostile
TO the Bryan ticket than there are Re-
publicans who win swallow Altgeldism be-
cause Of their inclination to free silver.

clare that our laborers have sunk into
