The Indiana election law says each polit-
zeal party may appoint one challenger and
ore poll-book holder, who shall be enti-
tied to stand at the sides of the chute next
to the challenge window" 1t also provides
for the appointment of two election sheriffs
in each precinct, who may remain near the
polls. and says: mo other peace officers of
the State, or any division thereof, shall be
allowed within fifty feet of the polls. ex-
cept to serve process of courts or to vote.
No person other than the election officers
shall remain within fifty feet of the polls
except when voting This provision was
disregarded yesterday in nearly every pre-
cinct of the city. In some places police
men stood within the prohibited distance
from the polls and in nearly all cases num-
bers of persons stood within fifteen or
twenty feet of the entrance to the polls
during the greater part of the day. This
was not done with any intention of disre-
garding the law, and probably no harm re-
suited from it, but it was none the less a
violation of plain provision of the law.
The provision is "a statutory one. Its evil
UeIll intent 10 " prevent the poSSiDuily VI
any interference with voters and to carry
out the main purpose of the law. viz, an
Independent and secret ballot. The provi-
sion is obviously wise that it should not
be allowed to become dead letter. In the
early elections held under the Australian
ballot law, especially in the first one 1t
was strictly enforced. The fact that it is
already ignored shows the natural tendency
to become lax in such matters. 1t is not to
the point to say that the persons who
stood near the polls yesterday were
quiet and orderly and that no harm
trouble resulted from their being there.
The law is plain, and should be enforced.
1t would only be necessary for the election
sheriffs to call the attention of persons to
the law and it would be carefully observed.
Hereafter election sheriffs should be in
structed on this point

The country Is to be congratulated on
the result of Tuesdays baIloting. The
victory for good government and ma
tional honor is emphatic, and 1t was
won by the patriotism and the in
telligence of a large majority of the Ameri-
can people. 1t was won by patriotic men
in every section of the country, and is
greater than Appomattox, because 1t is
victory over reputation and the degrade
ton of debased currency-a greater APP
pomattox because it is an emphatic ver-
tuition of the fathers and of the govern
ment of law and order which has been
established under tia greater Appomattox
because a vast majority of the people have
declared against the anarchism OF Altgeld
and the destructive classism of Bryan.
The details of the great victory will be
found in the dispatches. 1t seems to be as
sweeping and as decisive as predicted by
the most sanguine supporters of Major Nc
Kinley. States appear to have been carried
for Mckinley of which there was little
hope when the polls were opened yester-
day. In every part of the country, except
to- 81 ell.
the South, where votes are not counted as
cast. the voice of the people has been en-
phatic against all that the Chicago plat
form affirmed and all that Mr.. Bryan pro-
claimed in many States. All of these States
have not been carried for Major Mckinley,
but in them there has been n larger vote
polled than ever before on the side of good
government and against population. In
this State the Republican plurality is not
less than $1,000. showing that the Repub-
lican estimates published Monday morning
were conservative.
The victory has a much wider signifi-
canoe than could any partisan triumph. In
fact. it owes much of its emphasis and
effect to the courageous and patriotic
efforts of a large number of men who are
not Republicans. These men have given
the whole country an illustration of that
country-loving patriotism which led
Stephen A. Douglas and thousands of the
ablest Democrats in the North to rally to
the support of Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
And with these patriotic Democrats in the
North, the great leaders in the South, the
Buckners, the Herberts. the Longstreets
and the wattersons have, with rare cour-
age, fought the battle of national honor
under the Republican banner. They have
given the country an example of that high
er patriotism and devotion which will not
be forgotten by this generation.
For this great deiverance the American
people should be reverently thankful rather
than unanimously ecstatic.

The results will not be agreeable and SAT-
isfactory to everybody. They never are. But
the important thing is the settlement of those
questions and issues the agitation and dis
cusson of which have operated to suspend in
a great degree all forms of industry and COM
mercial enterprise. With the banners put
aside, with the marches and parades ended,
with the orator returned to his legitimate
walk of life, the political phase of American
custom may make its exit for time while
industry again resumes her sway i'm the af=

term to apply to the present condition of
