Indianapolis Locomotive (Newspaper) - November 11, 1848, Indianapolis, IndianaThe locomotive. S a t i it i it a a if Ove Bek ii 1�i8.indigo and elections. Well the people have met and they Hare decided that the a Peoples candidate is the Man for the people he is unquestionably Tho Man they have honoured by inviting him to take a four years residence in the White House Whitey taking Back apartments. In order to see the Workings of the political machinery to must go Back nearly a week and come up Day by Day to the present time. On monday the notes of preparation was sounded and All Scro on Tho alerts every Man had his position assigned on the coming Morrow. Whigs were sanguine but quiet democrats ditto but thought Taylor might get Kentucky but Tho balance of the course was Clear for Cass. Free Silers were few and far Between like a gels visits but their Teeth were firmly set like men resolved to do or die. On tuesday the work commenced the reveille was beat at an Early hour and the pigs were sing ing. A now s the Day and now s the hour see approach old Zock Kyd a Power a with n Hearty Good will As each handed the other one of the bullets that was to be tired at the great cd Serpent. At 9 of clock they made a regular Buena Vista charge at the polls and kept up a running fire during the whole Day. The democrats were not Idle they met the enemy and As the result has proven they were theirs they fought hard however and contested every Inch of political ground. The champions of Freedom brought up Tho rear and poured in a Volley of Small shot to Tho no Small annoyance of the Burly antagonists. There to Little excitement it the polls the voters Hud received their instructions from their better halves the night previous a la Caudle and were merely the agents of others they paired off two and two and a marched up and then marched Down nothing of special interest occurred it the polls except Tho buying of that whig tickets a Democrat was announcing from the Steps of the court Blouse that there was no whig tickets they were All headed a Peoples ticket a and in conclusion of cred 25 cents for a whig ticket. Some person standing near happen to have a ticket from the August election so to forked it Over and took Tho Quarter we suspect it was the last Quarter As the hat was passed round to receive subscriptions to refund it. All Felt Good until the returns began to come in when some did not feel Quio so Good. The Telegraph office was now Tho political Centre anxious faces were seen on All sides is the news began to come in Tho whig Stock began to Rie and it 11 of clock it was above Par considerable. Marion county gave Taylor a majority of 90 votes and we suspect Ibero was nearly that Many Hundred dollars lost and won on it. At 10 of clock a Bon Firo was raised and n regular Joli fiction was Joist begun by the whigs of what a ple Nannt set of looking Fellows they were How Happy they did seem with their Ivory plainly visible to the naked Eye. The democrats looked a Little Blue about that period of time and left the scene to seek their roosts not to sleep but to Ponder on the result. Uncle Jerry Felt Good he fell Happy and at two minutes Post 11 he deliberately walked to the Bon fire and burned his hat. On wednesday faces began to lengthen and sharing to Rise until at dusk the Price of shaving an Ordinary Democrat was 25 cents their faces having expanded to an enormous length. Those were the times that tried menus souls Many an honest Democrat was in a terrestrial Purgatory but had to Grin and Bear it. The whigs always considerate proffered to set up with any Democrat that Felt sick about the stomach and appointed committees to attend to the hardest cases. At 11 of clock it night the number of applicants for Trio Post office was 19, and rising other offices in proportion. Thursday the Locos that were visible which was few looked blur and bluer. The reports that came in plainly showed that old Zack the hero of 50 Battles and Ridden rough shod Over the Union and would unquestionably to the president. Hurrah for old Zack he is the by Hoy was now the cry and every Little ragged seated Urchin was bellowing it Forth from one end of Tho Street to the the question now arose a who is one of the 40 to which was reiterated on All sides the victors cried aloud and spared not and the vanquished had to hide their diminished Heads. There was More betting on this than on any preceding election and we expect those that lost wish they had taken our Ndvich. The Young Man that bet himself is gone beyond redemption be is a lost sinner and must pay the penalty. Sue Cess to Trade say to Flint individual Bachelor will get his name in Tho paper certain. One word of advice whigs be not too hard on your vanquished foes remember that it is not honorable to strike a fallen enemy. Democrats be of Good cd car and remember that old Zack hits promised to be the Peoples president not the president of a party and it is probable that your loss May be a gain. Free a oilers thou spares band of martyrs who battled for principles despairing of Success you have won All you expected and cannot be dissatisfied. To nil we say be of Good cheer and Hurrah for old Zack. A Young indy wishes the Council to consider the i propriety of passing an ordinance requiring Tho Farmers to Cook their vegetables and the butchers their meats before bringing them to Market. She i says that by this Means and no other Tho marketing i can be prepared for dinner. Would it not be As Well however to Mako 1 of clock Tho dinner hour ? i what would the Young lady say to that ? by so 1 doing the vegetables and meat could be eaten hot otherwise they could not except by those that go to i Market. How Bont those Wood piles that obstruct the Side walks can any body Tell us who they belong to and if the owners have hired the Sida walks by the year from the Council fire fire a on saturday last the alarm of Firo filled Washington Street in a few minutes with people it was a false alarm and originated from a building that Cox a tin shop is in. A fire in that Row would soon spoil the Beauty of the Block a the buildings Ore combustible and the engines in town arc not sufficient to contend against a Large it is a pity that the people do not feel Able to get one or two Good engines one Good fire that May happen it any moment would destroy property enough to get a dozen. Try it again boys petition the Council to cell an election now to raise a tax to procure in engine and we believe you can succeed the third time you know is the Charm. This City should have at least two More engines and property holders should not object to buying an article to protect their property. On thursday noon a Carpenter shop near Robson s stable caught fire but was extinguished before it had done much damage. How Toboul those lamps can the fathers Tell the circus that was Here on monday was so Well pleased with their Success that they stayed a a by particular request Quot on tuesday and on both occasions their canvass was filled. The City is getting quite Independent in this matter they Are Able to fill a circus canvass that will contain 4000 persons without any delegation from the country. Think of that be rulers in this modern Sodom that there Are 4000 persons always ready and willing to pay their 25 or 50 cents to witness these Buffoon antics of travelling clowns. There has been More Money paid to circuses within Tho last 3 months than is paid for the support of ministers Here or elsewhere by our citizens. There hns been More Money paid for that than is required to pay the expenses of the City government. If the Money expended on circuses was judiciously expended it would provide for All the poor in the City and leave a Large sinking fund for contingencies. Think of that be circus goers and Sec which is Tho Best Way of spending your Money. The Man with the Board on his head is now s seven Day s wonder with Tho juveniles both yemeni nos and masculine. They do wonder How to can balance All them Little Birds and rabbits and baskets of peaches and Lemons and Little cupids without letting them fall. The articles he carries make very pretty Mando ornaments and we see some of our citizeii9 Hove been making quite extensive purchases. Look out. Young men we again caution you to look out and this is the third and last Call. The members will in Here in a few weeks and Ualei you have Mude your calling and election sure with one of the weaker sox you will be gone Coons Quot remember that the a Winter of your discontent a is near it hand.
