Opinions of Indiana Editors on the
emp of indianapolis.


indianapolis Republicans rose to the oc-
casion.-Muncie Star.
indianapolis grew tired of Democratic
management and turned the gang out in
the cold Tuesday light. And Vincennes
is waiting for a chance to do likewise.
-Vincennes Commercial.
Indianapolis has good reason to shake
hands with itself over the Republican vic
tory. Tom Taggart's rule in the capital
city is at an end and the people have cause
for rejoicing.-LoganspOrt Journal.
The redemption of the city of Indianapolis
from Taggartism is a point in favor Of
political morals. and a blow against the
counterfeit principle, that public Office Is a
private snap."-Portland Commercial-Re-
view.
1t was a splendid victory and the Repub-
leans all over the State feel proud of the
work done by the gallant Republicans of
the capital city. We suggest that Tom
Taggart now run for mayor of French

The election of the Republican ticket in

to Republicans in all parts of Indiana.

on getting for mayor such a clean and
energetic young man as Mr.. BookWalter.-
Charlottesville Journal.
The Republicans of Indianapolis are to
be congratulated on their success in liber-
ating their city from Taggart misrule and
debauchery. 1t is to be hoped that their
management of city affairs will be such as
to entitle them to the continued confidence
Of all law-abiding people.-BateSville Trib-
une.
The municipal election took place at In
dianapolis last Tuesday. The result in
that city is most gratifying to Repub-
leans, and will have a very salutary effect
on the State election next year. This makes
the two largest cities in the State redeemed
from Democratic misrule this year-In-
dianapoliS and Evansville.-Corydon Re
publican.
1t should be a source Of personal pride to
Mr.. B~ookwalter. and a general satisfaction
to the party, as it is a rebuke TO the party
which cheated him out Of the Office two
years ago. y good business ad-
ministration In indianapolis would not only
be a benefit to the Republicans in that
throughout the entire State.-Greenfield Re-
publican.
Indianapolis has freed herself of Taggart-
ism for the time being, and it is TO be
hoped she will hereafter remain clean of
such scourges. If any city ever had rea-
son to change from Democracy to Repub-
icanism Indianapolis certainly had, and in
view OF the fragrant abuses to which her
government has been submitted it is hardly
creditable that she turned the rascals

felicitatiOn on the part Of Republicans here
and generally throughout the State.-Ko-
kOmo News.
Plagiarism received a Knockout blow at
Indianapolis when the Republican ticket
from top to bottom was elected by a major
ity Of 1000. 1t would have been the same
If Taggart had been the Democratic nomi-
nee instead OF Mcguire. 5 . . BOokwalter
will give that city one Of the best and
cleanest administrations il has ever had.
Taggartism and Democratic misrule Is now
a thing of the past in the capital city.-New
Albany Tribune.
The Republicans Of Indiana who believe
that the great party TO which they belong
is the one best qualified by practice and
principles TO safely ard wisely administer
the public affairs Of the State and Nation
rejoice in the result of the election at In
ANNAPOLIS. The city Is again in the Re-
publican ranks. Bourbon rule there has
