death of Judge Miller leaves a vacancy in
this judicial circuit to be filed by the Gov
clnor The district is composed of the
counties of Rush and Decatur. 1t is re-
ported that three or four Republican MEM
bcrs of the Rush county bar are applicants.
OF the number there is Capt. Z. ID. Cole,
who lays claim to the judgeship by reason
OF his services as a soldier. He is being
supported by his soldier friends as well as
members of the bar. George Young, who
was for two years prosecuting attorney of
this circuit, is also an applicant Last win
ter, during the attempt to separate the cir
cult into two circuits, Mr.. Young was then
a pronounced candidate for the new judge
ship, and was strongly backed by one of the
Republican papers of Rushville. Mr.. Young
is a graduate of the Bloomington Law
School and stands high in his profession.
Among the young members or the Rush
county bar and the Republican party the
name of Lot Guffin is prominently men
toned, as he has the influence of Attorney
General ketcham, in whose ofnce he began
the study of law. and that of Judge w. j.

The Once Wealthy Railroad Man Now
Worse than PenniIess.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, March PAD. j.
Mackey, of Evansville, the former widely
known railroad magnate, is in Anderson
seeking a position in manufacturing con-
Germ. Mr.. Mackey's ability has been realized
by Hon. w. T. Durbin, who is anxious to
take him from Evansville and place him
in a position in the manufacturing world.
Mr. Mackey is an old man now and worse
than penniess, having lost everything,
even his charming wife and gifted daugh-
ter. No more pitiful story in all the country
can be found than the life of ID. j. Mackey
and it is thought that If he could be taken
out of Evansville and placed in new sur
roundngs ne would not only be able to
make a good living for himself, but his
special talent might prove very profitable
for others. Mr.. Durbin is very well known
in manufacturing circles and has many in
terests which demand the attention of
competent and well-ftted man. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Mackey is the man who
would fill the place and the two are in con-
SUltatiOn.

1t is now certain that Congress
will be controlled by the Republican
party; upon it will be the response
bility of the conduct Of the govern
ment. Some of the Democratic news
papers think it best that it should
be so, and they are trying to argue
the people into thinking, with the
Republicans in full control of every
department, it will be easier for the
Democracy to win at the next cleo
ton, but we do not share in this
view and regard it a delusion. The
Republicans are found in power after
the successful terminate of war;
they are regarded by the masses as
the party which made and won the
battle, and thereby brought to
this government vast territory and
wealth. This being the condition,
it entrenches them in power for years
to come. William Mckinley will be
their standardbearer IN 1901 ana IN
our opinin he will be reelected with
a larger majority than before. The
Republicans will put Mckinley for
ward in the next campaign with the
shibboleth, mckinley the conquer
or of the Castillians" and the battle
crv will ring around the Union as
cid the bugle notes of Roosevelt in
New York State. In our opinion
there is absolutely no possible chance
FOR the Democratic party to elect a
president in 1900, but at the same
time our organization must be kept
up to take advantage of the mistakes
of the party in power, the Tar fever
will cool off later and then our party
may again be called to the front.
