THE CITY ELECTIONS

indianapolis, May Fin the city
campaigns that will close tomorrow
the effort of the saloon men to get out
a big vote has been one of the most
interesting features. In many places
they are not particular as to which
candidate wins, but all their energy
has been directed toward bringing out
such vote as will make it more diff
cult for the temperance forces to Sc
cure a sufficient number of signatures
for remonstrance. The fight between
the saloon and anti-saloon people is to
finish. The anti-saloon forces are
now preparing to take advantage, of
the recent supreme court decision that
saloons must front on streets and not
en- alleys. Here in Indianapolis this
decision will probably result in driv-
ing twenty-five or thirty saloons out
of business.

Indianapolis, May 2.-COngressman
Jesse Overstreet has returned from
Washington and will spend a portion
of his vacation in Indianapolis. How
ever, as usual during campaign years,
he will not have much time to himself,
as he has been reelected secretary of
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee. He says the COM
mittee has not selected headquarters,
but will probably locate in New York
again. He is very hopeful of another
large Republican victory, as he says
the party is in much better shape than
it was ninety days ago. Overstreet
predicts that Senator Fairbanks will
be nominated for vice president, and
that Hanly will be elected governor by
a plurality of 10000.

Newspaper men who devote their
time to observation of the trend Of
politics in Indiana are coming to the
conclusion that there is a growing
feeling among Indiana Democrats that
neither Judge Parker nor William
Randolph Hearst should be nominated
| for president. The reason is that par
ty workers are apparently arriving at
| the conclusion that Hearst and Parker
represent the two extremes and there
| fore that the nomination of either
would mean another disastrous split
| In the ranks. Each man has developed
| big following in Indiana, but very
well-known leader, who for obvious
reasons did not want his name used
| in this connection declared today that
neither Parker nor Hearst will do, for
| causes herein stated. He said that if
| Mayor Mcclellan of New York or
| Judge Gray of Delaware should be
| brought out at the ST. Louis conven-
| ton that Indiana might be for them if
| it were not otherW Sc instructed.
a matter of speculation, but there is a
growing conviction that the delegation
| should be untrammeled.
The Hon. Eb Henderson of Mar
| tinsville will be a delegate to at least
| one more Democratic state convention.
| A decade or SO ago no Democratic
| gathering of note here was complete
| without his presence, but there has
| been a change since then. He has re-
| tired to a farm near Martinsville, and
as he is no growing old very rapidly
| he has practically retired from the
! political stage. He has been elected
as delegate, however. and will prob
ably be on hand with the genial smile
that was once SO we'll known. Hen
derson was chairman of the state COM
mittee during the memorable cam.
paign of 1884, when Cleveland was
nominated. Subsequently he is said
to have been the author of notorious
campaign ballad which created quite a

MURDER AND ROBBERY.

Clarkson, Howard county, Nd, was
thrown into great excitment last night
by the murder OF Hugh McAvoy, 69 years
old in the store of his brother, Joseph
A. McAvoy. The motive was robbery.
The proprietor of the store had gone to
his home, about $50 yards distant, for
supper leaving his brotherto to take charge
of the place. When he returned to the
store, about 9 O'Clock last night, he
could not, at first, find his brother. He
called loudly seseral times, and, receiving
no response, started an investigation.
In few moments he found his biother
living dead in pool of blood behind the
counter. The murdered man had been
shot in the head with a shotgun.
Further investigation disclosed the tact
that the money drawer had been robbed
of about $45. The store building IN
which the tragedy occurred stands alone,
and is a considerable distance from the
aearest dwelling. There isno clue to the
murderer. A negro was seen iolterine
about the place in the afternoon, and i
is suppose that he entered the store whil'
Hugh McAvoy was there alone, and
after numbering him, secured the money
, from the money drawer and fled.
