Last October Election.
uo c1eCLtOH vi lcoO WIS tIlS last
October election held in the State,
and thereby hangs a little story. In
the spring of 1879 there were submit
ted to popular vote several proposed
constitutional amendments, including
one changing the State election from
October to November. They were sub
mitted at the spring election on the
first Monday in April. The amend
ments received a clear majority of all
not a majority of all the votes cast at
the same election for the several town
ship trustees throughout the State.
The Democratic national convention
was to meet at Cincinnati, June o.
Thomas A. Hendricks was a promi-
nent candidate for the nomination for
President and it was thought his
chances of receiving the nomination
would be much improved if Indiana re-
manned an October State during that
year, as his friends could then say to
the convention give us Mr.. Hen
bricks and we will give you Indiana
in October and set the pace for VIC
tory in November" In order to test
the constitutionality Of the amend
ments and, if possible, keep Indiana
an October State at least for that year,
case was made up and hurried to
the Supreme Court. 1t was the gem
eral opinion of the legal pro sion
that the amendments had been consti-
tutionally adopted because they had
received a decided majority of all the
votes cast for or against them, but
the Supreme Court held that because
they had not received more than one
half of all the votes cast for town
ship trustees at the same election
they were not constitutionally adopt
ed.
This left Indiana an October State.
The decision was rendered while the
Democratic national convention was
In session and was telegraphed to
Cincinnati Immediately. but it did not
have the desired effect as General
Hancock carried off the prize for
which Mr.. Hendricks's friends were
striving. The amendments were re-
submitted to the people at a special
election on March IA, 1881, and the
one changing the State election from
October to November was adopted by
ayes 12S,03S, noes 40,163.
