W ————— —— >ickerinjr*, Threat* and Profanity Among the Democratic Candidate* and Their Friends. If there has been any apathy in the campaign aotside of committee work it came to an end yesirday. Never at any time have the probabilities of an off-year election been more generally discussed. Merchants dropped business as much &s possible to talk about candidates and issues. In a few instances disputes waxed warm, and stopped only short of an outbreak of ill-feeling. lsen gathered on the street corners, in groups of where from three to a half dozen, to exchange flews. In brief, the election topic held full sway, and crowded out every other matter comtoon to office, counting-room aud street gossip. Os course these surface indications offered no efertainty as to the result, but there was an undercurrent of Republican confidence that made the outlook especially promisine for the success of that party. While this remained undisturbed by any eddies of doubts, dissatisfaction or dissensions, the Democratic run of talk broke principally on the Issues of Bynum and anti-Bynum within that Candidate's party. Mr. Bynum's friends have tried to belittle the opposition of his former supporters, but it has Appeared in a form that not only threatens disaster to his chances, but ruin to the Democratic county ticket. The Bynum people early in the campaign appreciated the personal weakness of their party’s county candidates. Besides, they jhold a mighty grievance against the ticket, because it was nominated principally as an exhibition of anti-Bynum strength when the late Mr. Bailey seemed to have the supremacy. Therefore, It was not hard for the Bynumites to bring the factional contest to a point where it meant Anything to save their candidate for Conptess. Their fight has been determinedly directed to that end, and as a natural aequeuce the wrath of the friends of the county candidates has been growing hotter and hotter until yesterday the climax was reached in the utmost bitterness. Cutting and slashing all around was the Democratic condition. The chances of each candidate had been brought to a ruinous minimum, and the day and night before the election everyone of the twentypine nominees on the county, congressional and iSftislative tickets was driven to catch At straws. Jlekerini’s, th. and profanity could be heard )*hind the curtain. The muc’n-talked-about Democratic discipline had been lost, and disorganization could be detected in nearly every ▼oting precinct. Intensity of feeling went so far on the part of the Bynum men as to charge Postmaster Jones with being the tool ot Republicans in having anti-Bynum circulars, prepared and signed by Democrats, distributed by letter-earriors on Sundav. This circular came from members of the formidable faction once distinguished as the Bailey party. Its authorship, notwithstanding its fearful denunciation of the nrivate and political character of Bynum, is attributed to Win. H. English, John P. Fronjel and Mike Conner. It cut deep and drove the Bynumites to frenzy. The order then went fdrth to scratch 4he Democratic county ticket wherever a pencil mark could be made or a poster used. This excited tho other side, who also determined upon the scratching process. East, evening the firmest adherents of the several eandidates and those who have been boasting Without reason that the entire Democratic ticket would be elected, threw up their hands in acknowledgment of the hopelessnes3 of the contest.

Asa matter of further retaliation, the antiRynumites were not charry in calling Bynum a traitor, a man who never paid a political assessment until the present year. “Just consider the and and scoundrel, *’ said a leading Democrat yesterday. “He did not nay a cent of the assessment that was levied on him when he was a candidate for the Legislature. In 1884, in his firsi candidacy for Congress, he refused to pay the SSOO required of him: and this yar, when he was assessed: SI,OOO. he absolutely declined to pay a cent until the committee reduced the amount to SSOO. After a great deal of trouble he paid S4OO, and begged off from the rest, saying he could not raise it. That is a nice plea for a man who has drawn SIO,OOO since he has been in Congress, fmd has made altogether about $20,000 out of the position. Landers paid $2,500 when he was a candidate, and Will English gave $2,000 in Marion county and $1,200 in Shelby.” Theauti-Bynumites after awhile took another turn, and accused the object of their especial hatred of holding Wra. Henderson to his side by A promise that he would havo Jones removed as postmaster in order to install Henderson in that ♦fflee. From the Irish wards came the bitterest Expressions against the Democratic congressional candidate. The force of opposition is raging there. “I was surprised last night,” remarked a politician, “on going into these wards to find the Dreadth and streneth of the opposition to Byjpurn. It was particularly among young Democrats who are to ’ cast their first *otes. They came from Democratic families, and never expected to vote any other ticket; but they were all for Harris, and have determined to use the pasters freely on Democratic county and legislative candidates. The demoralization has reached the limit beyond recovery, and unless Republicans allow Coy and his pane to work their frauds without hindrance, there can be hut little doubt that the Republican candidates will be elected by 500 majority and upward. “What is your opinion of the fight,” was asked of a careful political calculator and prominent Democrat yesterday. “I dou't want to be quoted,” be replied, “hut the Republicans have a certainty as far as I am dble to judge. lam not estimating their majorities too large on an average of £OO for ev*ry man on the ticket. The county is naturally Republican, but in addition to this Jb*t party has the advantage of Democratic disaffection. I find everywhere men upon whom we have relied in past campaigns as experienced workers, showing a lukewarmness and a disinclination to do anything. They may have here afcd there a special friend they want elected, but beyond that they are doing nothing. The rest of the ticket is nothing to them. We can expect a defeat assure as the sun rises to-morrow.” “The scratcher is abroad in the land,” said another gentleman, out of politics. “All day persons bate coma into my store, and they have talked of nothing else but the election. Most of them were Democrats, and not one failed to ■peak of the dissatisfaction in their party and of the number they heard say they would scratch extensively.” So appalling became this condition that Sim Cov. it is said, early in tho day abandoned the whole ticket, except Sullivan. He bent all his energies, schemes and money to elect that candidate. From early morning until late last tiight the rooms of tho little boss, at the Grand Jlotel, were visited by election sharks. They dame ostensibly after instructions, but in truth to get monev to be expended in buying votes for Sullivan. A general sacrifice for Cov’s candidate for c-. unty clerk is to be the plan to-day. Bynum man told me," remarked a Democrat, “that he would not come into Marion county with 1.200 majority. If that is the case, Mr. Bynum need not look for election. Both factions will scratch him here in order to save some favorite on the rest of the ticket. I never saw

the party in such a pitiable shape. There is nothing tangible ut>on which to base a decent prediction as to the county candidates. They must rely on personal favor, which, in the height of general distrust, will not amount to anything.” On the other hand, the Republicans were on the alert, full of enthusiasm and confidence. The committee-rooms were crowded during the day, and or. the streets in the immediate neighborhood nothing could he heard but the most cheerful news. Even the ladies have caught the fever of approaching success, and to make it doubly sure are exerting their influence for the rule of decent voters. There is only fraud and illegal voting to fear. That plans for this purpose have been arranged by Coy has been apparent for weeks. He is a politician of the worst school—a man who will stop at uothing to gain his ends. In large Democratic wards an attempt w.-ll be made to vote non-residents and repeaters, to change tickets and manipulate the count. This has been settled upon, and. as the developments of yesterday indicated, will he used principally to save Sullivan, who, in office, will be worth more to Coyism and 6aloon politics than all the other officers combined. But the Republicans feei that they have the power to master these outrages on the rights of the people wherever they are attempted. “We will have a fair election in our precinct.” said a determined Republican. “If they attempt to delay or change the vote by challenging, somebody will get hurt. We are organized to meet that or any other diabolical scheme Sira Coy may think fit to try.” Such was the state of affairs inthe city. From the country came the same reports of widespread dissatisfaction among the Democrats, and harmony, firmness and enthusiasm among tho Republicans. Bynum will be unmercifully dealt with in some of the tot ..ships where it was thought he had particular strength. His friends are moved by alarm, and in fulfilling the law of getting even have decided to slaughter the county ticket. Republicans have every reason to expect the best of news to-night. *

At the State Headquarters. The rooms of the Democratic State Central committee, last evening, were dismal and lonely, being in marked contrast with the same premises two years ago, the night before the battle of the ballots. Chairman Eh Henderson had departed for Martinsvilie, and the minor poets, who sat around the secretary's table, wero engaged in the sad and solemn service of loosening their molars and bi-cuspeds with a quarter of a pound of caramels donated by State Auditor Rice. At 9:30 o'clock United States Marshal Hawkfns, Dora Johnson. Richard O. Johnson, Ben. F. Jones, Frank Miller and two or three others took up their melancholy march to the door, leaving Mr. Rice at the table, engaged with a sidewhiskered young man who was vainly endeavoring to extort information regarding the way the great gerrymandered State of Indiana would go. Mr. Rice’s replies were not creditable to his frank and open nature, being exceedingly evasive and ambiguous. At the Republican State central committee rooms there prevailed a serener and hopeful expectancy that was very comforting to all nervous Republican visitors. There were a great many callers, and everybody who was supposed to know anything about the situation over the State expressed confidence in a victory, some even beingvery sanguine. Chairman Huston left for Connersville to cast his vote, but will return this evening, as will Secretary Michener. ELECTION INFORMATION. The Voting Places in the Several Wards of * the City.

John W r ilson—l am confident ve will win. > Carlon Hamlin—We will go through flying. I’ve seen many elections, and the promise of victory for the Republicans is bright. FEATURES OF THE CONTEST. A Greatly Wronged Man Who Has Good Reasons for Not Voting; for Sullivan. In a back room in the second story of No. 70 South Mississippi sti*eet lives a man who will not vote for John E. Sullivan. However, if he is able to be moved at all, he will get to the polls somehow and cast a vote against the Democratic candidate for county clerk. “All my troubles began with John E. Sullivan,” said this man, whose name is W. C. Jones, whom the reporter found propped up in a rocking chair, his wife waiting upon him. “You see,” continued Mr. Jones, as he removed a damp cloth which he held to his left eye, “tho sight of this eye is entirely gone. Dr. Thompson, the oculist, thinks he can save the hall of the eye, but is by no means cortain. A3 I said, all my troubles begin with Sullivan. If Sullivan had paid me what he owed me for my potatoes I would now be sound and well, instead of the maimed and helpless sufferer I am. I hut asked the payment of a just debt, and John E. Sullivan, John Ferriter, Tom O'Neil and Jerry Sullivan all fell upon me in the fight that followed. That was the first fight I ever had in my life. It was on my thirty-ninth birthday, Aug. 27. 1 don’t think I’ll ever forget the day. “I don’t think you will.” said the wife; “neither will I. It was the beginning of all our trouble.” > “I was taken to the station-house,” said Mr. Jones, “a place I was never in before, Mr. Sullivan was dealt with in a more kindly way. 1 don’t know where he was taken, but it wasn't to the city prison. I was very badly hurt—l had been kicked and beaten until I was bruised all over. *My most serious hurt was just over my kidneys. That part of my body was black aud blue. “1 was not over my injuries when I went to work, during the State fair, to drive an express wagou. On the 2d day of August, while driving along Illinois street, midway between Georgia street and the north end of the tunnel entrance, I was struck in the eye with a stone. I think it was a stone, but could not see what it was. My wife and Isaac Sodam were with me in the wagon. I was hauling passengers to the State fair grounds. Ido not know who threw the missile that struck me and destroyed the sight of my eye, but I haven't an enemy that I know of in the world except Mr. Sullivan and those who beat me on that 27th day of August. I cannot prove who struck me. There were many persons in the street, and my wife and Mr. Sedam were too excited to take notice. “Mr. Jones's last misfortune,” said Mr3. Jones, “has left us in bad shape for the winter. I was making sixty-seven cents a day, but, when his eye was struck I had to give up my work in order to nurse and care for him. He has suffered a great deal and requires constant attention.’' The room wns neat and clean, the wife tidy, but everything spoke plainly of pinching economy. Mr. Jones wears upon his breast the badge of the Grand Army of the Republic, being a veteran of tho Seventeenth Illinois Cavalry, Company E. He is a member of the G. A. R. post at West Newton, this county. He has a judgment against Sullivan for $27, the potato bill, which Sullivan has stayed to keep this poor man out of money he now so badly needs. Mr. Jones has also entered suit for SI,OOO for damages, by reason of the fight in which four men cowardly fell upon one and brutally kicked and beat him. The loss of his eye can bring no damages. The miscreant who threw the stone escaped, and, unless someone of his confederates informs upon him, vrill never be known. Democracy’s Insult to Honest Labor. The very small effort, but it is the best they can do, of County Commissioners Sahm and Reveal to escape the ban of public indignation that has been placed upon them on account of their insult to honest gardeners, is a pitiful plea for mercy. Their rushing into print with the statement that Captain Clinton did it on his own responsibility, has only served to fasten the guilt upon them. Salim not only attempts a denial, but tries to steal the idea Captain Clinton suggested in regard to a disposal of the surplus stock of cabbages raised in the work-house garden. Ten days ago Captain Clinton went to the office of the township trustee and said to Smith King: “We have more cabbage at the work-house than we can use. If you send your wogons out there you can have all yon want, without cost, for distribution to the poor.” Mr. King told the Commissioner that he would speak to Captain Many about it. In the business of the office attending preparations for the election the matter was forgotten, until he heard ot Boone, the Democratic superintendent of the work house, sending a load of the vegetable into the public market, in care of a work-house prisoner under an armod guard. Captain Clinton says he had no couvjrsation with Boone about the cabbages, except when the superintendent came to him on Friday and told him that he intended to take a load to market. “I said to him,” continued the Captain, “that he had better turn the cabbages iuto kraut. As to my having any unquestioned control of the work house that is all nonsense. If I had been mean enough to suggest such a sale, Sahm and Reveal would

have opposed it because it came from ma. I have never made any suggestions in regard to any of whe county institutions without encountering their opposition. When they say they did not decide to have the cabbages sold, and that I alone am responsible, they tell what is not true.” Boone, the superintendent, is a pet of Sim Coy. He tried, with Coy’s favor, to get on the police force, but the Democratic Commissioners would not have him. He is regarded as a citizen who knows nothing beyond a desire to do dirty work for the Demoerartic party, and, under compulsion from men who appointed him to office, to sign certificates shifting responsibility for wrong-doing upon an innocent person. Minor Political Matters. “I shall vote for Joe Kealing,” said a Democrat who is connected with a Meridian-street wholesale house. “I went to school with Joe, and know him fora big-hearted, manly fellow. Joe's father is a German blacksmith, a Democrat. I remember when the first Grant campaign came on; Joe and I were going to school together. He was then—that was 1868—about fourteen years old, and spoke with quite a German accent, though I believe he was born in this county. ‘I vish I vas a man,’ I remember hearing him say one day, ‘I would vote for Grant’ “ ‘How could you vote for Grant?’ the boys all shouted. ‘You couldn’t wotefor Grant, your father is a Democrat.’ ” “ ‘I don’t care,’ said Joe, 'I would wote for him. Yen I get to be a man, you bet I'll be a Republican.’ He kept his word, aod I'm going to vote for Joe.” G. W. Hollingsworth, a son of the old gentleman whose home the Sentinel, with characteristic untruthfulness, charges Colonel Merrill with having foreclosed upon, yesterday learned of the publication of the matter, and voluntarily came to the city from his home in a distant part of the county to have the falsehoods about the case corrected. He says that the Sentinel’s story is a. misrepresentation of the facts, and that there was nothing in the transaction for which any blame should be attached to Colonel Merrill, who told his father that, although the property could he foreclosed upon at any time, he might live iff it during his lifetime. Mr. Hollingsworth is very indignant over the Sentinel’s published statement of the matter, not only because untrue, but because it does a great injustice to Colonel Merrill. It appears that Collector of Customs Kuhn does not intend to be influenced by any civil-service commission, or even by an impending investigation by President Cleveland, for, if there was an active political worker in the city yesterday it was he. During a good portion of the day he was on a hunt for unnaturalized Germans, whom he escorted to the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, where he had them take out citizenship papers. The remainder of the day he was busy peddling tickets and stickers for some of his favorite candidates, and begging votes for them. If President Cleveland is hunting for an offensive partisan to lecture he does not need to go past Collector Ivuhu. Among the many baseless falsehoods tjiat the Sentinel has published during the last days of the canvass in the hope of making votes for the Democratic candidates, was one charging that Arthur Jordan had discharged two of his employes—John Arnold and John Foley—because they were Democrats and intended to vote for John E. Sullivan. Mr. Arnold is still in the employ of Mr. Jordan, and has been continuously. When he called at the Sentinel office yesterday and asked a correction of the falsehood about him, he was given no satisfaction by tho editor of the Democratic organ. Many bets were made last night, and, generally, they were in favor of the Republican county ticket. At Walker’s pool room there were plenty of men offering to bet $lO to $8 on Saulcy, and there were few takers. There were, also, several $25 even bets that Harris would he elected. Not a few were willing to put up $25 to sls that Kealing would bo elected, and not half of those who were willing to wager $lO to $8 on Rollins were accommodated.

WILL NOT STRIKE. Further Trouble Among the Kingan Employes, but They Will Not Quit Work. When the whistle blew for work, at 7 o’clock, at Kingan & Co.’s, yesterday morning, all the men except six, employed in the cellar as meat turners, went to their duties. These informed the managers that they would not return unless they were paid $2 per day during the winter mouths. At present they are receiviug $10.50 per week. They expected to be followed out by a good many of the common laborers, but in this tney were disappointed, and they will doubtless return to their pkces in a day or two, at the old pay. The coopers, who have been the most dissatisfied person's about the establishment since the change of time, held a conference during the forenoon, and decided to go out at noon, which they did. There are only twelve of them, and they havo been receiving sls per week, while they ask for $17.50. The managers of the firm stated that there were plenty of coopers unemployed, and that the places would be filled at once, as would be the places of all other men who had gone out. In conversation among the men it was learned that they had very fully discussed the matter of a strike, and that nearly half the employes were in favor of it, but the committee which took the matter under advisement reported that, while the men had just cause for going out, it was deemed uuadvisable at this time.

I.—At Central Music Hall, tonight, the Press Club of Chicago gave its seventh annual entertainment. A magnificent audience was present, netting the club over $2,000. Bill Nyo, James Whitcomb Riley and Emma Abbott were the principal attractions. Messrs. Wm. S. Kimball & Cos. have produced a Cigarette that has long been desired. It is delicately perfumed, just enough to destroy the odor of the burning paper, and changes the smoke to an incense, so entirely different from the ordinary cigarette, that no one can oViject to its use, it is innoxious and universally liked. Though pure and simple; and so mild, It might be used by any child, Yet Sozodont is so swift and sure That mouth and teeth with wondrous speed From tartar and from taint are freed Till they become sweet, white and pure.
