A Too Hopeful Democrat.

New Albany News (Dem)
The success Of John w. Hoffman,, the
Democratic candidate for mayor, over
Mayor Bookwalter, the Republican nomi-
nee, will inspire the Democracy of the en-
tire State with hope Of success in 1904. 1t
brings to the front a very formidable can
didate for Governor. If Hoffman over
came a majority Of 1900 in indianapolis,
why not 5000 I'm the State? The breach
has been made in the Republican wall, and
ii gives a chance to batter down the en-
tire wall. The victory is significant be-
cause the entire force of the Republican
party was massed against the Democracy.
Even the patronage of Indianapolis alone
was formidable, but with the federal ma
chinery thrown in, it looked like a hope
less task. Despite it all success came. 1t
shows what the Democracy, when united,
can do. Now let the work go on TO capture
the State and the Nation.

Small Hope for Retirement.

Greenfield Republican.
The defeat of Charles A. for
the mayoralty of Indianapolis is not sur
prising, while ii may be disappointing to
those who believe in strict adherence to
party lines. There can be no denial of the
fact that B~ookwalter's administration has
been discreditable and in some instances
disgraceful and the pity Of il is that he is a
man of ability and one in whom the better
element of both parties once had confidence
and hope. Mayor was defeated
by the better element of Indianapolis, but
il remains TO be seen whether his successor
will better the conditions now existing The
record OF John w. Hoffman is as bad as
that of his unsuccessful opponent. IL is 10
be hoped that the promises he has made
Will compel him to pursue such a policy
in the future as will not cause conscientious
citizens TO regret having given him their
votes

A Party of the People.

Plymouth Tribune (Rep.)
The Republican party was organized by
the people and for the people, and any men
or set of men who set up a machine TO de-
prive the people of any chance to cast their
votes as they choose are not Republicans.
Thousands of Indianapolis Republicans,
some of whom were Republican leaders be-
fore the machine men were born, refused TO
submit. They could not do otherwise and
be true Republicans. tn result will have
a wholesome effect on all parties through
out the State. We regret the election of a
Democratic mayor in indianapolis, but we
hope 1t will be worth thousands of votes
to the Republican ticket in the national
election.

COMMENT ON THE ELECTION.


Marion Chronicle lRep.)
The voters of Indianapolis have decided to
get municipal reform through the Demo-
cratic party, for yesterday they elected the
Democratic candidate for mayor and also
the Democratic candidates for police judge,
clerk and Council. The straight-out Demo-
Gratis, plus the dissatisfied Republicans,
have done this. OF course. the Democrats

Terre Haute Gazette (Dem.).
The election in Indianapolis was not a
victory for Democracy nor a defeat for
Republicanism, albeit the Democratic ticket
was elected and the Republican ticket
was defeated. Under Mayor Bookwalter
and his associates. who happened to be
Republicans, the city's affairs nave been
disgracefully and degradingly ~mismanaged.
The result was a revolt. Between the two
parties there was a swapping of voters,
many reputable Republicans voting the
Democratic ticket and many disreputable
Democrats supporting the Bookwalter tick
ct. AS il happened there were more repu-
table Republicans than there were disrepu-
table Democrats. and so Bookwalter lost.

Bookwnlter's Good Fight.

Noblesville Ledger (Rep.)
Bookwalter has gone down in defeat, but
he made one of the greatest races in the
history of Indiana politics. Through the
whole fight he kept up his courage, and
was stronger at the end of the race than
at any time before since he was renomi-
mated. He did away with much of the OPP
and convinced many that the charges
made by the opposition press were un-
true. Now that the Democratic candidate
has been elected, the Republicans will do
their part to make indianapolis a still
greater city and will not sulk i'm their
tents. 1t will be we'll if all the Republicans
can lay aside any differences and get ready
for the general attack that will now COM
mence all along the line.

Vincennes Sun (Dem.)
The election of John w. Hoffman, Dem
ocrat. as mayor of Indianapolis. over Book
waiter, is a happy ray Of light for the
Democracy, aot only Of the capital city
but of the great State OF Indiana and OF
the whole United States. But in candor il
must be said hat something more than
politics was involved in the election. A
prominent, If not paramount, issue was
decent and orderly city government, and
the suppression of the wineroom and gam
bling evil, which is ~blighting the lives of
thousands of men and women in all our
cities.

IL Never Grows Old.

New Castle Press.
The visitor to Indianapolis who fails TO
see the soldiers and sailors monument
has missed the opportunity OF his life. To
the writer its beauty and it's grandeur never
grow old. 1t always presents some new
feature, some new. patriotic thought. So
long as il stands, and IL is seemingly built
for all time, the soldiers and sailors OF
Indiana who fought TO preserve this grand
Union will never, can never, be forgotten.
Their fame will be as enduring as the stone
pyramid which marks their place IN the
history of their country.

A lesson can be learned from the result OF
the election at Indianapolis yesterday.
Mayor B~ookwaiter. the Republican candi-
date for reelection, was opposed by a
faction in his own party, and their votes
were sufficient TO turn the city over TO the
Democrats for the next two years. A united
vote of the party would have given Book
walter a handsome majority.
