We would not for one moment

one of the many recognized upright
Democratic papers Of state. which

their views, it in fact being better
there are such, for 1t would not do
to have only one party in this coun-
try. Still the explanation OF tho
Times does not fully satisfy the State
Journal, as regards what may be
termed the phenomenal majority in
Marion county. Marion is not nor
mally a thousand Democratic and this
was a year in which Democrats did
not en- masse rush with alacrity to the
polls and vote. If Republicans stayed

Gratis came out with enthusiasm and
voted the ticket, why Marion Is large

We can see how the Republican vote
might fall off and this falling of not
be legitimate or natural. In fact,
IL we knew enough about the falling
off, we might say that that Is the very
evidence Of corruption. We never
have claimed all the pure men are in
the Republican and all the vicious
ones in the Democratic party. Sorry
to say, there are purchasable Repub-
lcans and every time one such is in
duced to vote the Democratic ticket,
that counts two, one off and one on.

which caused us to challege Bro.

own signature that the election in
Marion county was fairly conducted,
but the fact on the face of the re-
turns (and his explanation rather cor.
roborates our fears) lead us to believe
that perhaps all was not right in that
county on the third OF November. We
don't doubt the intelligence, good citt-
zenship and culture Of the people OF
Marion county, in the main, Demo
Gratis and all, but to talk about that
