NO FUSION IN THE NINTH.

Democratic Leaders Declining to Mix With tbe Populists.

A special from Delphi to the Indianapolis News says: The Democrats of the Ninth Congressional district will not fuse with the Populists, the Prohibitionists or the free silver Republicans. liver since the Republican Congressional Convention at Crawfordsville, all sorts of reports relating to the fusion of other parties have been circulated. One report was to the effect that all were to unite on Hon. Joseph B. Cheadle, of Frankfort, who has been known for years and years as a free silver champion. Another report was that Alonzo G. Berkhart.who was nominated by the Populists in the old Ninth district two years ago, and endorsed by the Democrats, would be brought forward in the same way this year. A number of Democrats favored selecting a Democratic candidate who was known to be an out-and-out free silver man, nominate him and invite the Populists, Prohibitionists and freesilver Republicans to endorse him.

William H. Johnston, of Crawfordsville, member of the Democratic State Committee, was in the city yesterday and held a conference with a number of leading Democrats of Carroll county, the^object being to discuss the Congressional situation. The sentiment in this county, as expressed by these leaders, was almost unanimous against any kiud of fusion. Mr. Johnston stated that he found the same feeling in the other counties visited, and no man other than a straight-out Democrat need expect the support of that party in this district this year.

Charles R. Pollard, of this city, who will be one of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention, in Chicago, has been vigorously combating the fusion proposition for the last month. He states that he has never known the Democratic party to gain anything by a combination of this kind, but, on the contrary he has known it to suffer serious losses. To your correspondent he said to-day: "The Democrats from Carroll county are Democrats from principle, and have been ever since 1 have known anything about them. They have always been straight-out fighters. If they have ever won a victory it has been a clean-cut, hard-fought Democratic victory, and they were not compelled to divide honors with anyone. 1 would rather go down in defeat championing the principles for which I have fought ever since I attained my majority than assist in electing someoue to Congress whose political character was a conundrum and who was taken up and put forward simply be cause he was a recognized champion 0: some fad that appeared to be meeting with considerable temporary favor.

If we elect a Democrat in this district and send him to Washington, we will know exactly how he stands on all questii ns. If we elect a Republican candidate we will know exactly what to expect of him. If we should elect some man who has been trimming his political sails to suit all sorts of breezes from all sorts of directions, none of us would have any idea what we might expect from him if we sent him to Washington. Speaking for myself, I would rather support a straight-out Republican than some ex-Republican or ex-Democrat who abandoned the party to which he originally belonged because he was wiser than his party, or what is more probable, because his party had not kept him continuously in ollice. I believe I express the sentiment of the Carroll county Democracy when I say that they will not listen to fusion with any party. If they are defeated it will be an., honorable defeat."

The free silver sentiment, which tireatened at one time to capture the Democratic party in this county, has reached its mrximum. The leading

Democratic business men of this city have taken hold of the matter, and are vigorously combatting it, and the effect is decidedly perceptible. Mr. William C. Smith, chairman of the Democratic county central committee, when elected to this position, a few weeks ago, before accepting plainly informed the committee that he was a single gold standard Democrat, that he»would support no party that declared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1, independent of the action of other nations, and if they wanted to elect him chairman of the committee with this understanding, he would accept. He was unanimously elected. J. H. Cartwright, secretary, is also strongly opposed to the free coinage idea, as are scores of other leading Democrats, who announce their intention to make a business of fighting the fallacy from now on.

From Vice to Vance.

John Vice to-day received a letter from his ex-wife at Michigan City stat ing that she had married Dr. Vance, late of Linden. She wanted John to hear the good news and to cough up 81,000 in settlement of their late divorce proceedings. John was fairly beside himself on receipt of the letter and declared he would give her but 8700 for her interest in their things. Mra. Vice-Vance wrote John to leave all word he had to send with Mrs. Joe Mish, of this city, who knows her whereabouts.

That Hauled Croniu to His Death. Goes to Prison For Life—Notes.

HAUGHVTLLE, Ind., May 5. ITra Higgs, 'vho disappeared from lier home here the day it was found that Claude St. Clair, a prisoner in the jail at Indianapolis was armed with revolvers, lias returned home, and gives enipatliic denial to the story told by St. Clair that they were engaged to be married. The girl says that she was introduced to St. Clair by a schoolmate, and that she met him only a few times, and was not well acquainted with him. She knew nothing at all, she says, about St. Clair having revolvers, until she read of it in the newspapers. She was "paralyzed" at the way her name was being used in connection with St. Clair and was afraid to return home. She asserts that she would have come home before this if it liad not been for the protest of her schoolgirl companion.

Officers 'of International Typographical Union Alleges Crookedness of Officials. INDIANAPOLIS, May 5.—The case of

William B. Prescott and Abner G. "Wines against Theodore P. Haughey, Charles F. Meyer, Robert 13. F. Peirce, Harvey Satterwhite and Schuyler Colfax, went to trial this morning before a jury in Judge McMaster's room of the superior court. The complaint in the case alleges that the plaintiffs were depositors in the Indianapolis National bank: that they had been induced to become so by reason of the published statement of the condition of the bank signed by the directors that they had on deposit at tho time of the failure of the ba-nk $35,055.69, and just prior to the failuro liad been induced by the bank officials to purchase 1!) bills of exchange, which were afterward returned as worthless. The plaintiffs further charge that tho directors knew that the bank was insolvent, and, knowing this fact, had published statements showing the bank to be solvent. Suit is brought against tho directors to recover the amount of the deposit.
