UPSTAIRS VOTING PLACE.
Singular Selection Made by Shelby
County Commissioners.

Singular Selection Made by Shelby
County Commissioners.
Occasional Correspondence of the Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. Nov. 4.-Pushed to
extremes by the aggressive manner in which
the Republicans have conducted the pres
ent campaign, the Democratic tricksters,
backed by the Board of County Commits
soners, are resorting to an unheard of
method Of holding the election at one of
the precincts in this county. The precinct
is known as the South precinct, in Wash
ington township, it being twelve miles from
this city. The village Of Flatrock is the
principal town in the township, it having
population of about 500 and is reliably Re-
publican. The Democratic candidate for
representative lives in the township, as does
a member of the Board of County Commits
sioners. In the town are two vacant build
ings suitable for holding the election and
there is one other room that can be Sc
cured for the purpose. Throwing these adj
vantages aside, the County Commissioners
have selected room upstairs that can only
be reached by an almost straight-up stair
way on the outside of the building. There
is not a window in the room on the side
where the stairway is located. There is no
possible way to see in the room except
through the door. The landing is narrow
and reaches only to the far side of the door,
There is no place where the challenger can
stand to do his work under the provisions
of the law The county commissioner who
lives in the township but not in the pre-
cinct, has been spoken to- but he says the
voting place will not be changed. The law
clearly says that the portion Of the room
set apart for the election shall include
window at which the voter shall appear for
challenge. There is no such window in the
room selected by the commissioners in
which to hold the election. Last spring at
the Democratic primary election Mr.. B. S.
Sutton.of this city, was the principal OPP
ponent against Adam May. the successful
Sutton of this city, was the principal OPP
Immediately after this announcement was
made thirty-seven men made affidavit that
they voted for Mr. Sutton. The precinct be-
ing largely Republican the Democrats are
hunting for some method to throw it out.
The Republicans will assert their rights to
the end. This is the first time in Indiana
that voting place was ever fixed in an
unstajrs room.

CHOYNSKI HAS A CLOSE CALL
Narrowly Escapes Being Knocked Out
by Gus Rubin.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. Aloe
Choynski narrowly escaped being put to
sleep several times tonight at the Arena
Athletic Club before the savage onslaught
of Gus Rubin, of Akron, o. Each time he
was apparently saved by the bell. The bout
was limited to six rounds and was one of
the fastest seen here in a long time. Rubin
lowered high over Joe's head and there was
a difference of between twenty-five and
thirty pounds in favor of the Akron fighter.
He forced the fighting from beginning to
end, Choynski sprinting repeatedly around
the ring in efforts to get out of his way. To-
wards the close of the first round Joe stead
led himself for the first and only time and
landed several hard rights and lefts on
Ruhlin's face. One of the blows broke
Choynskis right forefinger. In the early
part of the second round Choynsks fell
through the ropes and landed on his head
while evading Rubin. The Ohio man forced
Joe all about the ring for the next three
rounds and Choynski was shaky at the
termination of each. falling down several
times to evade Ruhlin's rushes. Rubin
fouled a number of times in the clinches,
but il was apparently due to the heat of the
encounter Both men eased up in the final
round, which was uneventful.

GOOD SIGN OF VICTORY
REPUBLICANS CATCH DEMOCRATS
TRYING TO TRADE AT WABASH.
VIII Sacrifice the Entire County Tick
ct for the Legislative Candi-
date-POIitical News.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH Ind, Nov. 4.-The local Democ-
racy. which has been making bitter fight
against the entire Republican county ticket
circulating libellous charges of corruption
at the courthouse, to-day abandoned it's
campaign on that line. They have started
in to trade the candidates on their county
ticket for Guiford NJ Naber their nomi-
nee for representative. John Lefforge, of
this township, Republican candidate for
county clerk, was approached with an offer
of two Democratic votes for himself for ev-
cry Republican vote he would bring to
Naber, but he scorned the offer. Charles
Kendall was asked to vote for Naber, the
Democrat making the request proposing to
vote for any Republican county candidate
he might name If he would accede. Pro-
fessor Naber himself has contributed $500 to
the local Democratic campaign fund, far
more than any Democrat ever put up in Wa
bash county before, and George W. Michael,
the Democratic congressional candidate, has
dumped $1,000 into this county under the i'm
preston that he can reduce Congressman
Steele's majority. 1t is believed here that
the Democratic state committee has direct
ed that in all Republican and doubtful
counties Democratic energies shall be CEN
tered on the legislative candidates. Chair
man Plummer expects the county to give a
larger Republican majority than in 1896.

Talk of 1000 Landis Plurality.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Nov. 4-The Re
publicans of Hamilton county are ready for
the roundup, and it is the best judgment
of leading Republicans that the big ma
jorities of 1896 will be repeated. The stories
of disaffection in this county have been
largely exaggerated and will count for but
little. For every Republican that votes for
Cheadle two Democrats will probably vote
for Lands. Many Democrats are Disguised
with their party for nominating Cheadle
for the purpose of catching Populists. They
believe with Judge Terhune that there is
no Democratic candidate in the Ninth dis
trict and has not been for twenty years.
Joe Cheadle is now in this city trying to
rally the boys to his support, but his eff
forts fall very fiat Lands will close the
campaign in this city Monday night. Re-
publicans here have great confidence in
Landis's election. Some small bets nave
been made that Lands will carry Hamil-
ton county by 1,500 votes and that he will
carry the district by 900 votes. At Atlanta,
this county, the Democrats are working
a scheme to mislead Republicans. A paper
is being circulated there pledging the names
signed thereto to support the Prohibition
ticket. The object is to draw off Repub-
licanS. The Democrats who sign this paper
will vote the Democratic ticket
