WORK OF THE TWO PARTIES. An Enthusiastic Meeting of the Merrill Colored Republican Club. The Unfair Methods Which the Democrats Intend to Resort To—Aspects of the Political Situation Encouraging to Republicans. The Merrill Club, including the larger part of the colored voters of the Eleventh ward, held an interesting meeting in the central committc-o’s rooms last night. John Wilson presided, and John Owens was the secretary. After Colonel Merrill and Bid Conger, candidate for joint representative, had spoken, several members caused an enthusiastic expression of interest in the whole Repnblican ticket by what they said. President Wilson, in the course of his forcible speech, remarked: “If I should leave the Republican party I would not know where to go. I could not identify myself with the Democratic party, for its old leaders are not dead yet, and the n9w men of the party offer so hope ',o my people.” He always did dislike the prinoiples of the Democratic party, and it Have no evidence of change for the better. It was the same party it was during the war. “There Is uo disaffection to amount to anything among my people,” he said, “they are naturally Republicans. But as to Colonel Merrill, he has shown bimaelf a true man and a worthy representative of the ticket. I always like to hear a man like him talk, a man who was a Republican when it cost a great deal to be one. fcuch men l always favor, and to elect him and ♦he rest of the ticket I will do all in my power. )do not think my people are sa degraded that they will vote for Taggart jast because he gives a few colored men positions of menial labor. No f’overnment can do too much for those who ought for it.” With him it was not a question •f preferment. The offices and places would come to colored men in good time if they showed themselves worthy of the confidence the Republican party placed in them. Allen Dudley said he came down from the First to attend a meeting in the Eleventh ward. Me did not know what he conld talk about unless it was his prospects, as he did in classmeeting, when he spoke of his hopes of heaven. Here bis prospects were centered in the Republican party, whoso State, county and legislative ticket he would help to elect by his vote and work. “I am tired of Democratic rule already," he continued. “1 can’t understand how a colored man can belong to that party, and I often want to get inside of one of my race who claims to be a Democrat, to see if he is sincere. A great deal of talk is circulated about Taggart employing twenty five or thirty colored waiters. He would not do it if colored people did not suit his purfose better. They make better servants, he hinks, and can domineer over them more than he can over white waiters. Taggart’s father was a Democrat, and taught him this. lam for Col. Merrill and the whole Republican ticket. He is a man who fought for his country, and belongs to the party that had such leaders as Wendell Phillips and Abraham Lincoln. Charles Lanier, when called upon, remarked: “I am a Republican, but not much of a speaker. I try to do a good deal of the hustling at the polls on election day. It is then I want to do my work. I have done such service in this ward for eight years, and intend to keep it up in the interest of the Republican party. I hear some talk about disaffection among the colored people. It crops out in every compaign, but within all these eight years I never knew of but one colored man votine the Democratic ticket. He wIU not do it this year if I can help it.” Frank Welsh and Felix Davis made brief but effective speeches, when Jacob Franklin, the lawyer, said: “Some time ago I met John Landers, and asked him how it came about that he he employed so many colored people at his porkhouse; “Because thoy can do the work,’ he replied. ‘With me it is not a question of politics, but work.’ That is the way it is with Taggart and Sullivan. Thoy employ colored men because they do the work, and Taggart pays his waiters S2O per month, not quite $5 per week, when white waiters were paid at that restaurant $G fier week and struck for $7. If Taggart goes nto the auJ-tor’s office, he will take moss-back Democrats in there with him, and that is enough for me. lam a Republican, have always been one. and expect to continue such.” A general rally of colored voters, under the auspices of the Merrill Club, will be held at the same place Friday evening.

Phases of the Local Campagin. If Republicans have any moving to do they should put it off until nfter the election or see to It that thoirnew homes are in the precincts in which they have lived. All who have gone out of one precinct into another since Sunday last have lost their votes. This may appear a small matter, but if they could come into contact with the Democratic politicians they would appreciate the warning. There are plans shaping to make a Democratic victory certain by going to the length of their power, whether its use involves fair means or not It is understood that Sim Coy’s methods are to meet with no interference, and in nothing has any obstacle appeared except as to the selection of a Democrat co succeed a Republican as superintended t of the work-house. This .selectics ought to have been made two weeks ago, in order to give the new superintendent a chanco to familiarize himself with his (duties. Mr. Thompson's term expires on the 15th inst.. and each one of the sixty applicants have two or more friends urging his appointment Si n Coy is after the place for U. M. Boone. Commissioners Sahrr. and Reveal hold daily consultation about the matter. Sim urges the immediate appointment as an absolute essential of his political machinery. He may let Boone co. but it must bo understood that he will name the man. Reveal is not so anxious to obey Coy’s behests, but Salim will go so far as to vote for the Coy applicant, but wants the appointment deferred until after the election. He does not wish to incur the ill-will of fifty-nine applicants who will fail to secure the position. Sim has got County Attorney Spencer on his side, and the law seems to call for an immediate appointment, particularly since Mr. Thompson and his assistant, Mr. Reed, have stated that they will not serve a day beyond the 15th. Each has secured residence in another precinct in order not to loss his vote. Coy wants control of the work-house in time for November 2, and Sahtu would give it to him if his fear of losing votes did not deter him. But on tho other hand, when Thompson and Reed leave on tho 15th inst., the Democratic Commissioners may suggest a temporary appointment, and promote to tho euperintendency one of the Democratic guards. That would suit Coy. for there is not a man out there of Democratic proclivities who was not appointed on the indorsement of the little boss. Kither way Simeon RDpears to have a firm hold on the work-house inmates as part of his voting force. Ashe said to the committee. on Saturday last, “NVe have got the machinery and are going to use it. 1£ we fail it will not be my fault." In this connection there is a phase of Sullivan's candidacy that is being urged among the boys, and those whe regard honest election forces of no value if thoy can be overcome by fraudulent and bulldozing methods. Coy does not fail to impress this class that the Democratic party has the advantage in a company of inspectors, every man of whom is a Democrat, except a handful of Republican trustees, who serve by virtue of their office. These inspectors sit as a canvassing board, and it is proposed to use them in approving every fraudulent and questionable vote cast for the Democrats. If the party had possession of the county clerk’s office thers would be nothing wanting to cover up every vestige of fraud and wipe out all evidence of value in possible contests. The clerk controls the ballots after the canvassing board gets through with them. It is part of the support in trying to fudge Sullivan ahead of his ticket, that from the time he went into office there would be no danger of carrying the elections in 1888. When Journal reporter called at the Democratic county committee rooms, yesterday alter-

noon, Chairman Coy, with the air of one whose Dower was supreme there, was sitting behind a table, at which two clerks were busily engaged in writing, and around the boss were a dozen persons, well known as active ward politicians. Among the number was a postoffice employe, appointed under the civilservice rules. The boss was busy giving orders to his lieutenants, and wa3 unable to spare time to enter into any conversation regarding the canvass. “You might," he suggested, as he disappeared in a dark room, followed by four or five of his workers, “give us another chapter of that civil-serv-ice report. If there are any more offices held by Republicans I would like to have it known, so that they can be turned out and Democrats put in their places. That’s the kind of a civil service we are after.” Considerable interest is being manifested in the organization of a club of young Republicans. It is proposed to put it in working order for the remainder of the campaign. Among this class of party workers there are to be found those who never find time for anything else but the welfare of the Republican party. One of these said, yesterday: “The outlook is encouraging. I think now we will elect every man on the ticket There is but one thing we have to fear, aud that is repeating and ballot-box stuffing. It will be tried, for the Democrats are becoming desperate in their efforts to win, and within the last week or two there has been enough to lead us to watch for repeaters. That is one of the purposes of this proposed club. Every ward should be thoroughly organized from this time on. Sim Coy has but one idea In regard to politics, aud that is the success of the Democratic party, bv fair means or foal. He might get along with the inspectors alone if there was no dissension in the party. Outwardly the Democrats appear all serene, but the late Bynum and Bailey contest bag not lost its force as a disturbing factor. It is more than that Nearly every man who opposed Bynum iu that fight is secretly knifing him now. But the great work is to be done at the polls. Out of the anti-Bynum faction that was openly fighting him I do not believe he has gained a sincere supporter. The soreheads are so malignant that they have a secret organization to work before and at the election against Bynum. Ilis friends know this and will retaliate by scratching the county and legislative tickets. This is the shape the matter has taken, and Sim Coy knows it will require desperate measures to pull his candidates up to Anything like a chance of success.” Tlie Canvass Outside of the City. Col. R. S. Robertson, candidate for Lieutenantgovernor, was at Republican headquarters yesterday inorniDg. Said he: “My observation warrants me in expressing the candid opinion that Republican prospects for success are growing brighter with each succeeding day. If we can succeed in getting out a full Republican vote our ticket is quite certain of being elected. The apathy which marked the opening of the campaign is giviug way to a phase of enthusiasm that is rarely manifested except in a spirited national campaign. My meetings are uniformity well attended, and I fiud the people are evincing a good deal of interest in the issues affecting our State affairs. If we have a full vote and a fair count we will be successful I have no doubt.”

“The outlook for the Republicans in Knox county is very hopeful,” said Mr. Geo. G. Riloy, of Vincennes, who was in the city yesterday. “The people generally are beginning to feel that that there should be a change, and that the books should be opened. The mismanagement of our local affairs, under the administration of Democrats, has been notoriously corrupt. Heavy defalcations are matters of legal record, and the taxpayers are apprehensive that the worst will never be known until there is anew deal all around in the management of our county affairs. In our county the matter is not one of a special political nature so much as a question of self-protection against the machinations of designing and corrupt political leaders. My judgment is that the Republicans will elect nearly all their county ticket next month. The rank and file of the Democrats appear to be indifferent as to the result, while the Republicans are well organized, active and aggressive. The Prohibitionists are working vigorously, but they are pot very strong numerically, and I believe thoy will not poll to exceed twenty votes in the county. They are for the most part discerning men, and when the time cornea I am of the opinion that they will conclude their votes will produce the most good by being cast for the Republican candidates. Elder Ragsdale, our candidate for Congress, is making a vigorous and effective canvass, and is growing in strength and popularity every day. He is a gentleman possessed of a vast amount of general information. His meetings are well attended. Mr. O'Neil, his opponent, made two impromptu speeches in our county, but he -was received so coldly that he has not ventured back. Personally, Mr. O'Neil is a clever gentleman, but politically, he is in some disfavor. In his own county of Daviess there is a great deal of opposition to his candidacy, and he seems to appreciate the truth of the frequent expression of opinion that he is going to have all he cau do to defeat Mr. Ragsdale.” Col. R. B. F. Peirce—“ The Republicans of Montgomery county are In excellent shape. They are well organized and harmonious, and are confident of carrying the county by a iargely increased majority.” J. W. Study, of Rushville—“The Republicans of Rush county are making an active and aggressive campaign. A good indication of tlie healthy condition of affairs is manifested in the fact that all our meetings are being largely attended. These meetings have been uniformly notable for manifestations of great interest and enthusiasm. Hon. J. J. Spaun and Hon. W. A. Cullen are making a thorough canvass of the county, with the most satisfactory results. A. J. Beveridge spoke at the court house Tuesday night, and the attendance was so large that the spacious hall would not accommodate all who desired admission. Senator Harrison will have a rousing meeting next Saturday, and Rush county will give a rousing majority in November, as you will discover.* Major Grimslev. the sage of Owen county—- “ Owen county is all right We have a ticket in the field composed of gentlemen of the highest type of honesty and integrity, and we are confident of electing a part if not all of it For the first time in many years we have a thorough organization, and Republicans generally are imbued with the idea that we have got something to fight for. The race between Chase and Matson is a very interesting one, and the people are strongly impressed with Mr. Chase’s methods of making his canvass, and the opposition concedes that he is making substantial inroads on Matson’s forces. Chase is the best campaigner I ever saw. His popularity is unquestioned, and his knack of making acquaintances and friends is wonderful.” Mr. C. P. Eppert, a well known Republican politician of Brazil, was at the Denison hotel yesterday. Referring to the political situation in Clay county, he said: “The Republicans of Clay county are alert and wide awake, aud there is every prospect that we will carry the county by a considerable majority. We have a good organization, aud the party is moving along without any dissensions whatever. On the other hand, the Democrats are not enjoying the peace of mind that is supposed to prevail in a happy family. The nomination of John PI. Lamb has disgusted some of the best men in the party, and they make no effort to conceal their chagria and hostility. If the other counties make as good a showing in November as Clay surely will, the Republican State ticket will be elected." More of the Unloaded Gun’s Work. Yesterday morning several boys were shooting Flobert rifles at targets on Fort Wayne avenue. Clint Lowe, aged fourteen, pointed his gun, which he of course supposed was not loaded, at Gus Bundy, aged sixteen, son of L. E. Bundy, No! 460 North Delaware street. He pulled the trigger aud a ball entered the right cheek of Bundy, passed through the mouth, and lodged in the left side of bis iaw. The wound was probed, but the ball could not be found. The attending surgeon regarded the wound as a very dangerous one. The shooting was entirely accidental, and no arrests were made. Halford Sauce the beet Buy no imitation for it.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1886,

THE DISSECTING SEASON. Young Men Who Want To Be Doctors Come to tlio City to Begin Learning. Opening: Exorcises Last Evening of the Two Leading Medical Colleges of Indianapolis— Beginning with a Large Attendance. The opening exercises of the Medical College of Indiana were held iastevening. in the lectureroom of the college. The attendance was good, consisting of students and practicing physicians, of this city and elsewhere, and the professors. There are now over fifty matriculants entered upon the books for the term of 1886-7, and within a few weeks there will be over one hundred students in attendance. Dr. W. B. Fletcher delivered the address to the class. The theme of the Doctor’s lecture was “The Giving of Advice,” and was learnedly, logically and wisely treated, with a pleasant vein of humor running through his remarks. “Keep in mind,” concluded the Doctor, “the purpose in life to which you have devoted yourselves—devoted yourselves not for the money alone which may reward you, but for the love of the science and of your fellow-man Don’t imagine that to become an anatomist you must become vulgar, or to be a physiologist that lewdness in conversation of nature’s laws will show your value as a student. The man who can joke over his dissecting table is a coward, and the man who would brazen his mind to make light of the wondrous truths of physiology is unworthy to follow the noble profession of medicine. A medical man who has not the time, sense of modesty, who does not treat every woman, living or dead, with the same deference he would his mother or his sister, should be read out of the profession. Remember, that to be a physician requires more natural ability and acquired skill than any other profession or occupation. There must be a fearlessness, a self-rolianco, based upon the foundation of knowledge, and not on the shifting sands of chance, lust or recklessness.” The Central College of Physicians and Surgeons also formally opened last night its eighth annual course of lectures. So much prosperity has attended this institution that at the close of its last course steps were taken to secure larger rooms. About four weeks ago the faculty took possession of the old Hammond Block, corner of Massachusetts avenue and New York street, where the twojupper stories are used for lecture rooms and other purposes of the college. Quite a large class has matriculated for the session, and to this and many friends of the institution Dr. Allison Maxwell delivered a popular lecture la3t night on “The Physician in the Sick room,” He said the patient’s room ought to be the largest in the house, with the best possible ventilation, and all things necessary to make it cheerful and attractive. The physician should have complete control of it, as well as of the patient. Few attendants should be allowed—the fewer the better—and the physician should never be a boor, or enter the room otherwise than with the greetings of a gentleman. He should never salute his patient in a manner that he once uoted in a doctor’s greeting. It was to a patient lying near death, and the doctor, in a ruffian’s voice, said: “Halloo, Bill; how's your head?” Many sick people were killed by too much sympathy. In Monroe county, once, a man lay on the verge of death. Seven robust fellows from the neighborhood came in to “sit up with nim.” They had the adjoining room, and spent tho time in teliiug jokes, gossip, laughter and spitting tobacco juice into the fire. About half past 10 o’clock a thunder storm raged in great fury of wind and lightning. The house was struck by a bolt of lightning and set on fire. Four of the seven watchers were stunned and badly injured. They were taken home, the fire was extinguished, and the patient recovered. He regarded the lightning as a providential agent in relieving the sick man of too much attention.

A Secret League Entertainment, Anchor Lodge, No. 16, of the Secret League, gave a musical and literary entertainment at Corinthian Hall, corner of St. Mary street and Central avenue, lass evening. The hall was beautifully and when the exercises began the standing room was all occupied. Judge William Irvin delivered a very appropriate address of welcome, after which Miss J. May Miller rendered a piano solo. Mrs. Julian Martin recited “Spelling Down,” and was followed by a vocal solo, “When the Tide Comes In,’’by Miss Nora B. Dickey. There was a recitation by Miss Minnie Jones. after which the novelty* of a whistling solo was given by Miss Laura McManis, with her sister Alice as accompanist. The musical portion of tho programme ended with a violin duet by Messrs. E. A. Wolf and Ed Gausepohl. There were three toasts responded to. The first, “The Good of the Order,” called out Dr. D. NI. Purman, supreme medical examiner, who gave a very interesting talk. He set forth at length the excellent qualities of the order, and stated that saloon-keepers, and men who drank, could not become members of the order. He stated that there are twelve hundred members of the order in Indianapolis, made up of the very beet citizens. “The Ladies of the Order,” was responded to by P. W. Bartholemew, supreme cardinal, who paid a glowing tribute to the women. The response to the last toast. “Future of the Order,” was to have been by F. N. Hardin, supreme vice-cardinal, but he failed to arrive, and Mr. Miller talked briefly on the grand future before the organizatiou. No other order is growing so fast, and no order organized within ten years, has attained such a membership. A social was then held, and refreshments served, following the exercises. THE CITY IN BRIEF. Mrs. T. A. Lewis will soon erect a large and handsome brick block at the northeast corner of Ohio street and Massachusetts avenue. A fox, which had been preying upon chickens in the vicinity of Yandes street and Lincoln avenue, was killed in Lyons’s lumber yard yesterday morning. Jolip Medert and Charles E. Holloway qualified as guardians yesterday. The first named is guardian of Annie L. Medert, and the second of Abraham Foster's minor heirs. The publication of the Indiana Journal of Commerce by W. H. Drapier has been resumed, iu consequence, as the publisher states, of the unmistakab.s indications of a revival of business in this State. Late Tuesday night Wra, Forest, a stranger, while waiting t%a_train near the 1., C. & L. shops, sat down upon a car and went to sleep. When he awoke he had been relieved of a watch and sls in money. Mr. Henderson, agent of the Adams Express Company, yesterday received direct from the United States Treasury $5,000 of the new $1 silver certificates, which he distributed among the banks and business men. There will be a meeting to-night, at the Su preme Court room, of citizens, to organize under the call of the president of the Irish National League of America, to aid the Irish tenantrv in resisting the extortionate demands of the landlords. Marriage licenses were procured yesterday bv Jacob Wein and Mary Schnell, Henry A. Ford and Sarah B, Vanarsdal, Samuel Hunsuckerand Laura J. Miner, Hardin Venable and Florida Venable, William Leonard and Mary J. Bainaker. Christian Kruger and Mena Engeiking, Frank A. Faus- and Theresa Hutsmann. J. J. Schaurer, bartender in Sam Moran’s saloon, died last nieht of blood poisoning, caused by a carbuncle on his neck. He was familiarly known as Big Jake. About a year ago he was married, and soon afterward a man who claimed to be the husband of Mrs. Schaurer appeared here and threatened to kill Schaurer. The trouble was ended, however, by the arrest of the fellow for desertion from the regular army, and it afterwards was proven that a divorce had been procured by Mrs. Schaurer be fore her second marriage. Short Session of the School Board. There was a special meeting of the School Commissioners last night, to consider tho ques

tion of renewing the insurance on the library building and contents. The policies will expire before the next regular meeting, and the library committtee* was instructed to insure only in first class companies, the choice and rate to be a matter of its own discretion. It was also decided to improve the walls of the reading-room by having the kalsornine removed and paint substituted. This work will necessitate the closing of the room for a few days. Due notice to this effect will be given shortly by the committee. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. PERSONAL. Mrs. Gertrude Garrison, of New York, is visiting friends in the city.

Arrested for Heating His Bride, Samuel and Maggie Conger, of No. 112 Clinton street, have been married five months, and the wife says his daily amusement was to whip her, from the first day of the so called honeymoon. She became tired of it, and before Justice of i.h? Peace Smock swore to two affidavits against him. When Constable Pluramor went to the house to arrest him yesterday, Conger ran out of the rear door. The constable, after a sharp chase, captured him, and a wrestle for the mastery took place, resulting in favor of the officer. “I had work to do it,” said Plummer, “but I brought him.” Conger pleaded guilty to an affidavit that recited the beating ho gave his wife on the 24th of September. In the way of asking for the leniency of the Justice, he remarked, “I didn’t turn in to kill nor to paralyze her.” He came very near it, though, for Mrs. Coneer said she was bruised from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. Conger is to be tried on the second ■affidavit to-day, and in the meantime he is held in jail. The Indiana Canvass. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The Democrats of Indiana hare set the Republicans of that State a hard task this year. The State has been so districted for congressional and legislative purposes as to eive the Democrats control of almost everything, while having really a minority of the votes cast. They aimed to take ten of the thirteen congressmen sure and retain a magnificent fighting chance for the eleventh. On the vote cast in 1884 they would have a majority of forty-six on joint ballot in the General Assembly. The history of the Democratic party discloses many bold acts of politcal fraud and oppression, but none that eclipses this; but even against this great odds the Republicans have buckled on their armor and are making a vigorous campaign. The people are being thoroughly informed of the maladministration by the Democrats, and of the character of the men who have been placed in power in that State, and the work is beginning to tell. Governor Gray is thoroughly canvassing the State, ostensibly in the interest of his party, but nil his efforts are turned toward securing his Election to the United States Senate, to succeed General Harrison. Judging from his speeches, tie is alarmed lest the Republicans will succeed in overcoming the gerrymander, and that Harrison will succeed himself. The people of Indiana

owe it to themselves and to decency to overturn the party that has so debauched the great benevolent institutions of the State and placed them under such corrupt and vicious control. It is a question that ought to rise far above partisan politics. There ought to be no division of sentiment among honest people in the matter, but one and all, regardless of party, ought to unite iu electing a Legislature that will undo the dirty work, rescue the institutions from tho hands into which they have fallen, and once more place them under the control of honest and reputable citizens. That is a work that cannot be intrusted to the Democratic party, for it was that party that originally raped them, and notwithstanding the astounding disclosures made during the last session of the General Assembly it>* regard to the Knightstown Orphans Home, still clung to the partisan management There is no doubt that the Republican State ticket will bo elected, but they should not rest or slacken their efforts until a majority in the Legislature is assurrod. ■ - ■ - Dr Gatling, the inventor of the Gatling gun, lives iu an unpretentious but comfortable house near Hartford, and goes but little into society, being absorbed in his own ideas and work. His daughter Ida is the wife of the Rev. Hugh Pentecost, of Brooklyn. The Bottom of the Sea Yields no pearl that can exceed in beauty teeth whitened and cleansed with that incomparable dentifrice, the fragrant Sozodont Nor is coral rosier than the gums in which such teeth are set. So say the ladies, who are the best judges in such matters. BEAUTIFUL OVERCOATINGS. The new line of overcoatings received Saturday 1 y Kahn & Cos., “Popular Merchant Tailors,’’ No. 14 East Washington street, have never been surpassed in this city. Gentlemen who have seen them are enthusiastic in their praises. Astrachans, chinchillas, meltons, stir, boaver, kerseys and other stvles are among the desirable goods offered. Those who are enthusiastic over the beauty of the goods, are almost ecstatic over the low prices. An overcoat that will cost S4O at any first-class tailoring house ir. the city, Kahn & Go. will make up for $23. thus saving their patrons sls. They make up a first-class overcoat in astrachan or chinchilla as low as S2O. This is a fact, and a comparison of goods and prices with other houses will prove it true. Kahn & Cos. prefer to have their customers go all over the city first, so that there may l>e the fullest satisfaction with their prices. Every garment must fit, or the purchaser will uot be allowed to accept it. LIFE-SIZE PICTURES FOR CHRISTMAS.

To bo freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that'no poisonous, putrid matter defiles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.
