year rule is a remarkable Endorsement of

Democrats was strong enough to hold
them together in the West again this year.
There are many sound-money Democrats
In the country who never will vote with
their party again until it abandons the
heresy Of free silver coinage by the United
States on a dishonest basis.-Terre Haute
Express.
The people Of Indiana are for sound
money. They want no other; they will have
no other. If the Democratic party expects
to win the State back it must change it's
principles and the only change it can make
that Will be acceptable is to discard its old
platform and adopt that of the Republicans.

There are a few colored voters in this
city who insist on throwing themselves
into the hands of the Democratic party. It
must have been pleasant reading for them
to see in the leading Democratic paper OF
Louisville, this headline over the news from
North Carolina: North Carolina Redeemed
from Negro Rule And it must be espe-
cially pleasant to know that the State was
''redeenned' because the colored voters were
made to understand that they could vote
only at the peril of their Ives.-New AL
bany Tribune.
The Republicans of Carroll county have
every TedSOH 10 IeJOlc0 WITH the 6epuDlIc-
ans of the Nation over the splendid result
of Tuesdays elections. For the first time
in a third OF a century Indiana has gone
Republican three times in succession. We
have broken a record of thirty-five years
and this is certainly enough glory for one
day. The Journal congratulates the
country upon the result of these elections.
1t is a death blow to free silver, splendid
Endorsement of the Mckinley administration
and insureS an era of business and prosper
ity.-Delphi Journal.
The elections held Tuesday were even a
more severe rebuke to Organism than was
the personal defeat Of Mr.. Bryan two years
ago. The sound-money element of the DEM
ocratic party is in the ascendency. The pre-
diction is made that two years from now
the Democratic party will go East for
candidate for President and Mr.. Bryan will
be the nominee of the POpuliStS and the
other disgruntled ends of American voters.
Republicans can make Up their minds now
fight the brains of the Democratic parry ana
not the men who have been in control Of
the machine for two years-ShelbyVille Re-
publican.
All over the county, outside of the city of
Logansport the Republicans have made ma
terial gains over the vote in 1896, and con-
sidering that the tendency in the so-called
"off'' years is the other way, this fact
proves conclusively that the Republicans in
Cass county are gaining ground; that the
party to-day is in better condition than ever
before. Taken as a whole the condition to-
day is that the Democratic majority has
been so shattered and reduced that 1t IS
practically wiped out and from this time
on it is an even fight between the TWO par
ties for the supremacy, with, II anything,
the Republicans having a shade the best
of it.-LOganSpOrt Journal
