In Spencer county we had a great many “floaters,” and | | | Wednesday evening there will be a | public mass meeting in the city hall, it was an open question whether we | or the democrats could buy them. We got most of them.” “How could you be sure,” the eorrespondent asked, “that a vote which you had paid for would be really delivered?” “Nothing simpler,” said the chair- man of the Spencer county commit- tee. “If you buy dry goods you get the package when you give the money. We went on the same prin- ciple. We had one man stationed at the polling places who was able to see the ballot from the time it left his hands until the time it went into the box. Now, suppose a “floater” is secured by aworker. Say youare a worker and this gentleman here is a guard at the polls. Now you agree with this man to pay him $20 for a straight republican vote. You steer him up to the guard at the polls and call his attention to the man. The guard gives him a ballot folded and ready to put into the judge's hands. The voter takes it, and if he votes as he has contracted to do without looking at it or ‘monkeying’ with it in any way—and the guard ean see whether he does or not, for he is never more than three feet away from the ballot box—then he (the guard) signals baek to you that the man is all right, and you take him off and give him his money. He has to trust you that far although Ihave seen cases in this election when the ‘floaters’ would not trust the worker, but insisted on having one hand on the money while he put in the ballot.” “How is the money paid after- wards?” “Well, down in our part of the country we took a room which had been used asa gambling hell. The door had one of those little open- ings to it in the centre from which you could see out, but you could not see in. When a worker had gota vote he wrote on a little piece of blue paper the amount of money to which the voter was en- titled, and the voter poked his hand through the hole with that bit of cardboard in it. The paper was ta- ken off by a young man inside, ex- amined and verified, and if it was all right the money—$10, $20 or $50, as the casemight be—was placed in the still open hand. The man out- side saw nothing; neither did the man inside. It was all done quietly and effectually, and nobody was the wiser.”—Indianapelis Sentinel. The Burdens of Womanhood. Thousands of women are silently suffering untold misery, simply be- cause they shrink from consulting a physician in those numerous com- plaints arising from functional ir- regularities and disorders. Many a modest girl and woman prefers to bear her heavy burden in silence rather than to go to the family phy- when the reasons for deserting the Q. A. R. will be given and the prin- ciples and objects of the new order laid before the public. Adjutant General Kountz says similar meet- ings will be held all over the state within the next week. Mr. Kountz said lest evening that he had letters from all over the Reforming a iushand. William Smith, at one time United States senator from South Carolina was, in his youth, a wild fellow—as he himself expressed it, “wild, reck- less, intemperate, rude and boister- ous,” but he hada good wife who never upbraided him. and who final- ly reformed him. The evening before the session of the court of common pleas a client called upon him, with fifty notes to be put in suit. Mr. Smith was not | in his office; he was on what is com- monly called a “spree.” Mrs. Smith received the notes, and sat down to the work of issuing the writs and processes. She spent the night at work, while Mr. Smith was spending in “riotous living.” At daybreak, on his way home from his carousals, he saw a light in his office, and went in. To his sur- prise, there sat his wife, who had just completed what ought to have been his work, and who had now fal- len asleep with her head on the table. His entrance awoke her and she showed him her night’s work—fifty writs and processes. This was too much for the strong man. He fell on his knees, implored ; her pardon, and promised never to drink another drop. He kept his state indicating that the movement is mutual. Among the letters re- ceived was one from John A. Wor- man, secretary of the democratic so- cieties of Pennsylvania, promising that every democratic soldier in Pennsylvania will leave the grand army of therepublic. The president of the societies who ran againgt Bea- ver for governor is at the head of the movement in Pennsylvania. Mr. Kountz says that but few In- diana democrats have attended the Grand Army meetings since the elec- tion because all posts have been holding meetings ratifying the elec- tion of Harrison and Hovey. It is pretty generally believed that con- gressman Matson is at the head of the movement, but so far he has made no public statement. It is known that he feels very sore be- cause the Grand Army of the Repub- lic as an orgaization worked against him, and his friends here say that he will follow the example of General Palmer of Illinois.

New York World interview with Mrs. Frank Leslie. “Don’t you think a woman has as much right as @ man to woo?” “Yes,” with a smile, “and she can do it with her eyes and with the thousand little ways she knows so well how to employ, but let her lips be silent.” “But don’t you think if women could propose they would more oft- en get those they love?” “Doubtless, but they must not do it, for it means death,” she said earnestly. “How so?” “Why, if a man should refuse a women she would never be satisfied until she killed him. I know I would not,” with a tap of her tiny foot. “Would he dare—would he have the courage to refuse her?” I asked, “I don’t think he would,” she smiled. “Then think how wretched a woman would be. She would al- ways fear that he wanted to refuse but did not dare. No; let woman be as womanly as she can,” she add- ed, firmly. “If I had my life to live over, and I know if you had the choosing of yours, we would both prefer a quiet home, obscurity, no knowledge of the world, and no rights except those of a mother and a wife.” Eczema, Itchy, Scaly, Skin Tortures.: The simple application ot “Swayne’s O1xTMENT,”’ without any internal medi- cine, will cure any case of Tetter, Salt Rheum, Ringworm, Piles, Itch, Sores, Pimples, Eczema all Scaly, Itchy Skin Eruptions, no matter how obstinate or It is potent, effective, 32 1yr long standing. and costs but a trifle.
