Fulfilling Election Promises.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SPENCER, Ind. Aug. A.-Democrats in
various parts of the State have been cir
cuiating the report that previous to the last
election employees in stone quarry at Ro-
mona were induced to vote for Mckinley
by promise of a night and day run in the
event of Republican success. but that when
election day had passed the quarries shut
down. State Chairman Parks NJ. Martin in
a recent interview recites the same incident
without specifying any particular quarry.
1t is true that when winter came the quar-
ries at Pomona operated but little on ac-
count of the weather and work was slack
for a considerable time, the promises of
contracts not Undertaking. soon was
expected. Business has been gradually in
creasing, however, and at the present time
the quarry referred to is working a night
and day force promised. The Casparis
quarry, a short distance away. which in
1896 was employing smill force now has
100 men at work and there is not an able
bodied idle man at Pomona.
