ROTTEN DEMOCRATIC HOLE.
Republicans and RefOrmers Win the
Fight for investigation.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLUFFTON. Ind. March 1.-THE County
Commissioners at their present term passed
a resolution authorizing an investigation of
the county books in certain departments
and along certain lines. The offices affected
principally are those OF the surveyor and
treasurer for 1890. The orders for an in
vestigation is the last of series of hard
fought local campaigns and signal Re-
publican victory. For years the Democracy
of the county has carried Wells by ma
jorities of 1000 to loo. With a single ex-
ception no county officer has ever been
elected on the Republican ticket-a commits
sioner In 1860. Local campaigns, however
have been fought with success and off years
have shown decided gains only TO be swal-
lowed up in losses when a national cam
paign rolled around. In 1890 the county con-
structed $4,000 courthouse over the pro-
test of many taxpayers. secret bond is
made to cover expenses that had
been involved and was not included In the
estimates. Several hundred miles of gravel
roads were also built at great expense.
Bridge contracts were let without competi-
ton or open bids and Rock creek ditch, a
canal extending through several townships
was dug at expense of $4,000. Much dis
sension was raised on this account A
county treasurer in 1894 went out of office
IS 500 short, but mortgaged his farm and
settled the shortage. Nothing was known
about the matter until the evidence in
wing of Democracy organized itself as the
"Pures" to fight the other wing known as
the Rings" The latter was charged with
nominating Button residents to the exclu-
sion of the county Democracy. To top the
climax the Democratic primaries in 1898 We're
VIGOROUSLY shameless. and six out of nine
nominations resulted in Button candidates
on the ticket and about thirty-five defeated
candidates. Prior to this time the Repub-
leans had waged five or six mastery OFF,
year campaigns. In 1894 they cut majorities
down TO the three hundred mark and in the
case OF ]. j. Todd for judge to less than
one hundred. In 1896 Wells county gave 1,5l6
for Bryan, the largest Democratic majority
ever returned, due to the fusion of the Popu-
lists, who number about $50. In 1898. with
local affairs only TO fight, the Republicans
lined up solidly and elected J. &. Hatfield
by plurality for clerk, Eli Biene for treas
urer and Asa Brown for commissioner. Other
Democratic majorities were cut from 500 TO
60. and three other Democratic candidates
barely pulled through. The Republican cry
was for an investigation of the county rec
ords. and they fought a hard and victorious
campaign on this issue. The books are now
to be open. though not as thoroughly as the
Republicans demand. Before the matter is
settled however it is determined by the
general public that the entire business of
the county shall be thoroughly aired.
