I am free to say I do not like Mr. Coy. I do not like )nen who are like Mr. Coy, and I hare a very )oor opinion of men who like Coy or his gang." W. P. Fishback. "I am heartily in favor of every measure that will add to the credit and to the good name of e-nr city. I am heartily opposed to any measure that will detract from its credit and its good name. I believe with all my heart that the sueless of what is commonly known as the 'Coy ticket' in the coming election would be a great )bame a great disgrace, and therefore I am opiosed to it." Rev. Dr. McLeod. "I know Dr. Edenharter, and personally like him, bnt I shonld be sorry to see him elected fcVIayor nnder the existing circumstances, for the Reason that he represents an element which, if Jt gets control of the city government, . will entourage lawlessness on the part of the saloon element, and general demoralization." Gen. T. A. Morris. "Every good and decent citizen, irrespective of Jarty ties and affiliations, sflould join hearts nd bands in this contest. The victory should be so great and so marked that no one party can claim it. It should be so overwhelmingly in favor of law and order, and decency and virtue, that all good citizens can rejoice in it." Rev. Dr. McLeod. "The same old crowd that i have been BUYING FOB years." Such were the remarks of Mr. Coy when he looked in upon a gather log of the Knights of Labor, last spring, in the Eighteenth ward. The boys in that ward, on election day, will cause the little boss to think that he made a mistake. He may have "bought tip a few leaders with nominations or promises of political swag, but the rank and file never were and never can be bought by the little trickster. The Post (Labor OrX&n). THE success of the Coy gang in the coming lection would be the worst advertisement the lity could possibly have. Hon. John B. Finch, of Nebraska, the well-known temperance orator, died suddenly In Boston, on Monday night. We once more remark that it is the stuck pig that squeals. From Dr. Edenharter's growls it is evident he is badly hurt. Query: How long would it take to make a trained nurse out f the Insane Hospital attendant who had not learned in two weeks' service not to turn the hot water on a helpless pa tient? The report that George Francis Train is to start an Anarchist newspaper in Chicago may be doubted. Train was never regarded as a lunatic or a fool so far as the care of his money is concerned. After all the. hullaballoo that has been raised, the opposition to Mr. Powderly in the K. of Ij. Assembly is unexpectedly slight. This indicates that the better element of the organization is still in control. Albert McConahy's death is said, by the physicians at the Insane Hospital, to have occurred from "exhaustion' It is exhausting to be under a stream of scalding water until the flesh is cooked to the bone. George Francis Train is going to give a monster banquet in Chicago, for the benefit of the imprisoned Anarchists. As they will cot be allowed to assist at the feast, it is difficult to see how they will be benefitted. The aftermath of the Cleveland hippodrome seems to consist mainly of jealousies and discord. Senator Van Voorhees should follow up the procession with a supply of the Democratic "harmony" over which he grows so eloquent. A GREAT many people in the State of Indiana have friends and relatives in the Insane Hospital. How do they enjoy the thought that they may be at the mercy of such ignorant brutes as the attendant who scalded McConahy? St. Louis papers give stenographic reports of the President's speeches. It would save trouble if they had been furnished advance copies from the Government Printing Office; but perhaps Mr. Cleveland prefers that his eloquence should seem spontaneous over there. HlS Excellency, Governor Gray, who certainly had the opportunity to know, says of the reception to President Cleveland "there was but little enthusiasm displayed. The great crowds that gathered rather appeared to me to look upon President Cleveland as an nigma." ( Southern women "advance" slowly. They are willing to work for temperance, or any other philanthropic cause, but they object to having suffrage thrust upon them as a necessary consequence. The suffrage advocates should turn their attention to this uncultivated field. The conclusion of a gentleman who has just returned from southern California, where he investigated the real estate boom, is that it is largely fictitious. He says: "My advice to people who contemplate going out there to make investments is, don't go. I think there is nothing substantial about the boom. Anyhow, Indiana is good enough for me, aud Marion county is better than any part of southern California." He is right; and the same might be said of any other county in Indiana. Barring the climate, the attractions

of southern California are limited, and its resources still more so. On account of climatic conditions some persons can have better health there than they can in Indiana, but aside from the question of health, there is nothing' in or about southern California to attract emigration. We are well aware that some persons have made lucky strikes during the present real-estate craze, as some always do under such circumstances. So they do in gold mining and diamond hunting, but where one succeeds a thousand fail, and while we hear of the successes we do not hear of the failures. Those who think of investing in real estate in southern California had better wait. It can .be bought cheaper ten years hence than it can now.

"The unamerican policy Cleveland has pursued in dealing with the party and the partisans that elected him to office is the direct cause of the apathy of the party in so many sections of the country. He has done all he could to destroy the party organization. He has chilled the honorable ambition of young men, and grievously abused the old leaders." Indianapolis Sentinel. "WOEKINGMEN." Dr. Edonhartor is masquerading as a workingmen. By vhat right? He is no more a workingman than any other physician in the city, or than Mayor Denny or any other lawyer. Dr. Edenharter was once a cigar-maker, and for all we know, a good ,one, and we do not think any the less of him for that. But that was many years ago. As a cigar-maker he had a right to call himself a workingman, in the political sense the term has come to have, but as a politician he has not. His motto seeraH to be, once a workingman always a workingman. We do not admit that a workingman or mechanic is, on that account, better than a physician or a lawyer, though he may be personally a better and honester man. "The rank i3 but the guinea's stamp a man's a man for a that." But we say a man has no right to sail under false colors an d pretend to be what he is not. The fact that Dr. Edenharter wa3 a workingman years ago does not make him one now. For all we know, his political creator, Sim Coy, may have done honest labor once. Does that make him a workingman now? We admit that Coy and Edenharter are both "working" very hard just now, but it i3 not the kind of work that entitles them to membership in the Knights of Labor. Dr. Edenharter i3 no better and no worse for having been a cic;ar-maker if he was a good one, we honor him for having done good work but having quit that business long ago, he has no right to claim to be a workingman. We should say the same of Mayor Denny if he were to make a similar claim. No man ha3 a right to solicit votes under false pretenses. Dr. Edenharter is Sim Coy's candidate for Mayor, and not a workingman. "The defeat of Carlisle and Morrison, the heaviest blow the party has ever received in late years, is directly attributable to the faithlessness of Mr. Cleveland to his party obligations. These men are the greatest of the party's leaders. They are to Mr. Cleveland as suds to a rushlight." Indianapolis Sentinel. THEN AND NOWAbraham Lincoln was the first Republican President, elected after the Democrats had been in power so long they thought they owned the government. He received the electoral votes of seventeen out of thirtythree States and a popular majority over the next highest candidate of nearly 500,000 votes. The legality of his election could not be disputed, yet rather than acknowledge him as President eleven Democratic States seceded from the Union and inaugurated war. Mr. Lincoln, from the hour of his election, was subjected to threats and conspiracies, was obliged to go to Washington in disguise, wa3 blackguarded and hounded by Democrats as long as he lived, driven to despair by a Democratic rebellion, and finally murdered by a Democratic assassin. Grover Cleveland is the first Democratic President in twenty-five years. He received the electoral vote3 of twenty out of thirtyeight States, and a popular majority of only 23,000 in a total vote of nearly 10,000,000. His election was not as honest nor his title as valid as those of Abraham Lincoln, yet the Republicans never thought of disputing or questioning them. They acquiesced in the result of the election promptly, gracefully and unreservedly. 'The retiring Republican President participated in the inauguration of the Democratic President-elect, and Republican heads of departments and heads of bureaus gave every possible facility to their Democratic successors. The President was treated with remarkable fairness and a degree of consideration amounting almost to kindness by the Republican press and party leaders. And now, when he is making what one of his party calls "a tour of conquest," Republicans are conspicuous in their demonstrations of respect for the constitutional head of the Nation. Grover Cleveland was not obliged to go to Washington in disguise like Abraham Lincoln, nor will ha be hounded to his grave as that illustrious man was. The contrast between these two pictures represents a wide difference in political ideas, methods and standards of action. 'Mr. Clevela'l has not yet shown himself worthy the suffrae of those who elected him. Thus far he has directed his forces against the party. Yet we have heard reports that be aspires to re-election. We do not think he eares to do so now, unless he possesses an assurance even more colossal than he has yet manifested, something we can scarely admit to be possible. Indianapolis Sentinel. COY AND THE WOEKINB MEN. When Sim Coy looked in on a meeting of the Knights of Labor, in the Eighteenth ward, he remarked with a sneer, "The same old crowd that I have been buyinsr for years." What did he meant Does anybody believe he told the truth? Of course tot. Doubtless he has been in the habit fcr years of buying some voters, but not Knights of Labor. He knew a3 well as anybody that what he said was not true, but his remark discloses two motives. First, it shows how instinctively his mind turns to bribery and corruption as a political weapon; and, second, it reveals his contempt for honest labor. In both regards his remark was a spontaneous explosion of feeling. He belongs to a school of political managers who believe that money is the most powerful argument, and that every voter has his price. They are not far wrong in regard to the class of voters they deal with. But . when the little bosa said, "the same old crowd

that I have been buying for years," he admitted by implication that he had for years been buying some crowd. Moreover, the remark was an insult to honest labor. It was made concerning representative workingmen, and whom he knew to be such. The sneer and the insult represent the difference between the class who live by their wits or who have no visible means of support and those who earn their bread in the sweat of their brow. Coy belongs to the former class; the Knights of Labor to the latter. It was because they were working men, and because of the natural contempt that such a man feels for honest labor that he blurted out the insulting falsehood: "The same old croeM that I have been buying for years." . '

A STORY they tell about Prince Bismarck is that on his way back from Kissingen he was awakened by the cheering of a huge crowd at Halle station. In a very bad humor, he put his head out of the car window and growled: '"Perhaps you think I am going to make a long speeeh? Well, you are deceiving yourselves! I am much too tired. Good night." And with that he 3lammed down the window and drew down the blind. Bismarck wasn't "smart." He ought to have tried Mr. Cleveland's plan of having a supply of speeches printed before leaving home. If he didn't want to go to the trouble of delivering them himself, as our President still continues to do, he might have improved on the idea by having an attendant read them to to the populace while he slumbered on in peace, or else print a large number and scatter them from the end of the train, while it slows ud at "all considerable towns." "This strange policy of the President meets with little enthusiasm and approval by the Democrats of Indiana. The rank and file of the party in this great and important Democratic State have shown their devotion,, when others, discouraged, fled the field, but many now shake their beads and weep within, when they are asked to crown the administration with their seal of unqualified approbation." W. Scott Ray to Indiana Democratic editors. Gen. John M. Palmer, of Springfield, 111., says he cannot quite forgive President Cleveland for not stopping in that city. It was a great mistake, he said, and he could hardly understand how a man could pass by the tomb of Lincoln without getting off the train, going to the monument, and, with uncovered head, pay his respects to the memory of the noble and great martyred hero. The ex-Governor said he had personally written Colonel Lamont, and others of his friends had also written him, but it seemed to have no effect. He said that under the circumstances he did not feel like going down to St. Louis, and had made up his mind to keep away. Before Grover Cleveland gets half through with his "tour of conquest" he will wish he had stayed at home. Rev. Joseph Parker, of London, delivered his eulogy upon the late Henry Ward Beecher last night in the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It was a long, polished, eulogistic, loving estimate of the man and preacher. The Journal, published at the old home of Mr. Beecher, and in the State where he first preached, and from whence he went to the arena in which he won j his great name and fame, prints this morning ' liberal portions of Dr. Parker's elaborate address, appearing exclusively in our columns. The old friends and all the admirers of Mr. Beecher will be gratified to read the report. China seems to draw on the United States for brains and enterprise to develop her resources. A party of six persons recently sailed from San Francisco under special contract with the Chinese government to re-open and work the long abandoned gold and silver mines of that country. Both metals exist there in large quantities, but for various reasons the mines have not been worked ' for a longtime. It would seem that the governwants American miners to furnish a specie basis for the American banking system soon to be established there. "With Mr. Cleveland, Indiana would be lost, that it is doubtful whether he can carry Virginia. West Virginia and North Carolina, that he has alienated the Democratic members of the Grand Army of the Republic." W. Scott Ray to Indiana Democratic Editors. That is a thrilling bugie-note which comes from Montgomery, Ala., blown by the Opelika Democrat and sounding the names of Cleveland and Watts as the Democratic ticket for 1888. As an intimate friend of Jefferson Davis, his some-time Attorney-general, and "War Governor" of Alabama, he ought to be able to hold up his end of a Democratic ticket and insure a solid South. It would be a good campaign joke when Democrats asked the name their vice-presidential candidate, for Republicans to answer: "Watts his name." , Dr. Edenharter as by no means a modest man. He has lived in this city only about seven or eight years. Half that time he has been in the City Council, and now he aspires to the mayorality. He had better wait until the Ohio mud gets dry on his boots before trying to run Indianapolis "wide open," as he boasted he would do. As a doctor, he ought to know that a man should become acclimated to a new country before exposing himself too much. The Sullivan-Coy gang is directly responsible for the horrible death of McConahy at the Insane Hospital. Without their aid Harrison could not have retained his position on the board of trustees, and with Harrison kicked out, as he should have been, his debts would not have been paid by the placing of brutal and incompetent attendants, but 'good Democratic workers," in the institution as attendants. The Henry George theory of land-ownership and taxation is not new. It exists in China. Whether he borrowed the idea from that country or not, he ought to have done so. In China the fee of all real-estate is in the government. Chinamen hold their lands and houses by virtue of receipts from the government specifying that they have paid their taxes. This is exactly the George theory. Canvassers for the Anderson natural-gas enterprise report a considerable number of estimable but cautious citizens as unwilling to make contracts until they have seen the gas tried. Why don't they take a little

jaunt up to Kokomo, or Marion, or Anderson, or even Noblesville; or they might inquire in Pittsburg, where the fuel has been in use for years. There are some people so conservative that they would be unwilling to make investments in heaven until after they had tested its advantages as a place of residence.

How many sane and well people are there in Indianapolis whose habit is to get in the bathtub and turn a stream of cold water on themselves, and how long do they remain sane and well under the treatment? This, however, seems to be a method coadministering baths in vogue at the Insane Hospital, with occasional diversions in the way of turning on the hot water first. Governor Gray has been approached by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and in response .to the direct question whether he wa3 a candidate for the vice-presidential nomination, replied: "I scarcely know how to reply to that. I would make no fight for the nomination. Still, I do not know as I would decline were it tendered me." Oh, Isaac! The' attendant at the Insane Hospital who turned the hot water on the paralyzed patient McConahy, and then left him, was a man who had only been in the institution two or three weeks. It; would be interesting to know what political service this person had performed for the "gang" that in their eyes entitled him to a position in the asylum. President Cleveland had time to spend four days in St. Louis, but he had not an hour to spare to stand by the grave of the great martyred President of the Republic, Abraham Lincoln. His stolidity and indifference have disgusted many Democrats, including that "noble Roman" of Illinois, Gen. John M. Palmer. . The meeting of the Indiana Civil-service Reform Association, in Plymouth Church on Friday evening, will be one of unusual interest. The committee of the association will make a report on the Insane Asylum, which, in view of former and recent developments, is likely to prove mighty interesting reading. Governor Gray thinks the people looked upon Mr. Cleveland as an enigma. Now, we submit to a candid world whether the Journal, in the very heat of the campaign, ever called Cleveland an "enigma." The Governor's sesquipedalian billingsgate recalls Dr. Johnson's contest with the fish woman. "Mr. Cleveland must either prove himself a Democrat in the remaining years of his administration, or prepare to meet emphatic repudiation by his party." Indianapolis Sentinel. While President Cleveland and his wife were in St Louis they were kept on the jump fifteen hours out of twenty -four. The committee in charge, however, took warning by the experience at Indianapolis, and so arranged matters that the visitors were not required to eat two luncheons within half an hour. ' They also warded off discord by giving him a fresh escort every few minutes, thus permitting alarge number of prominent Democrats to wear an official badge and disport themselves before the eyes of the populace. By the time the party gets back to Washington, committees will know just how the receptions should have been managed in order not to waste the scanty supply of harmony now in possession of the Democratic brethren along the route. The managers of the St. Liouis paper which published eleven columns of what they thought was secret proceedings of the G. A. R. will have time, while figurine on the increased pay-roll, to reflect upon the error of supposing that a matter is necessarily "news," or a "scoop," because it is obtained surreptitiously. Instructions have probably been issued to the reporters in that office by this time to the effect that it is unnecessary to steal records which are open to all, and which have been previously rejected by other papers as too voluminous for publication. .. .There are some indications that the lunch question may become a burning one with the Indiana Democracy. - THE CnRIST CHURCH CELEBEATI0J. Dr. Wakefield's Address on Christian Unity Last Evening Arrival of Dr. Ingraham. The services at Christ's Episcopal Church, last evening, in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the parish, were in the interest of Christian unity. The principal address was by Dr. Wakefield, of California. It set forth the necessity of work in the interest of Christian unity, and closed by urging the establishment of a Christian unity society among the Episcopal churches of Indianapolis. He was followed by Rev. Coles, of Evansville, Bishop Knickerbacker and Dr. Bradley, who indorsed the sentiments of bi address. At the elose of the addresses a Christian unity society was organized, with thirty members. The Rev. J. P. T. Ingraham, D. D., now of St. Louis, a former well-known rector of Christ Church, fifteen years ago, has arrived in the city to assist in the celebration of the jubilee. He will preach this morning, at 10:30 o'clock, on the subject of "Woman's Work." In the atternoon there will be papers read by women of the parish, reviewing the work done in the early history of the church in this city. In the evening the celebration will end with a social reunion at the residence of the rector, Rev. E. A. Bradley, at the corner of Pratt and Tennessee streets, to which all the members of the church and their friends are invited. Tlie World and Dr. Edenharter. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals I wish the public to understand that I am not to be bound by the editorial in the last issue of the World supporting Dr. Edenharter for Mayor. The editorial was written and published while I was absent from the eity, and without my knowledge and consent, and must be regarded as the sentiment of the junior editor. I concede to eveiy man the right to support whom he pleases so far as his individual preferences go, but under no circumstances will I consent to be committed to a sentiment in opposition to my convictions. I am in favor of law and order, and do not believe that the prosperity of this eity, or any other city, for that matter. -depends upon the success of an element that demands that wholesome laws be disregarded and that the city be run on a free, open plan. Mr. Denny has made a good Mayor, and I should consider it a burning shame to tbis city if be were to be defeated under the present circumstances. L. E. Chktrtv, Senior Editor of the World. Coylsni a Menace so the City. Indianapolis News. It is a self-evident proposition that Coyism is a menace to the community. It is therefore to be put down. Edenharter represents it. He is therefore to be defeated. And the Coyism which Edenharter once hated was not so bad as the Coyism which he now loves, for since then it has demonstrated tally-sheet forgery as one of its attributes. Now, IVbat Does This Mean? St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Pem.). The President is now "in the bands of his friends." Personally this is a pleasant situa tion, but from the political standpoint, it is more dangerous than being in the hands of his enemies. E. A. Hanneoan. of Indiana, has been pro moted from a $1,000 to a $1,200 clerkship in the General Land Office.

AGAINST THE LAWLESS GANG

Enthusiastic Meeting of Citizens Opposed to Coy's Controllingthe City. Strong Speeches by William Wallace, Gso. F, Branham, John L. McMaster, Judge, Martindale and Mayor Denny. Gen. Harrison Makes a Brief Address That Arouses Great Enthusiasm. The Gang's Plans for Colonizing Illegal Voters, and Working Their Old Schemes Making Room for Political Workers. There was good.feeling, confidence, determin -ation, and enthusiasm among the three hundred Republicans at Pfafflin's Hall last night. There were many present who are seldom seen at political meetings, or who rarely take part in elections and campaigns except to vote. Merchants, professional men, mechanics, brokers, and manufacturers responded 'spiritedly to the sentiment of the speeches and entered most heartily into the principal object of their coming together. This was, as stated by one of the speakers, to organize a club primarily for work during the week and to assist in bringing out every voter on election day. After that had been accomplished it was proposed to continue the club as a permanent factor in local and State politics. William Wallace was the chairman and James P. Baker the secretary. Mr. Wallace said, in the course of a strong speech against lawlessness as exemplified in the campaign conducted by Coy, that he did not imagine any controversy would arise on the statement that never has there been a time in this city when the help of every good citizen was more needed than now. He did not mean good citizens alone who are Republicans, but those who are Democrats and who sustain other party affiliations. It was a time when each one of them should consider his vote. There never was a time when the purposes of the vicious and the lawless were more antagonistic to good government. Sim Coy is their leader,' and they have control of the Democratic organization. He was glad to say that Coy did not represent all Democrats, but the party organ had announced him as the party leader. It is his own declaration that he represents that element which, once in control of the city, will bring disaster. It does not admit of any doubt that such a result would follow if Coy and his gang are given power. There would be no restraints upon these men, and city legislation and administration would not be in the direction of good morals, honesty and virtue. If Coy obtains power, he and his followers will destroy every good influence that tends to the betterment of the city. "As a citizen," Mr. Wallace continued, "I have never felt a deeper or stronger interest in a city election. If Coy succeeds I would feel like leaving the city." But the interest is not confined, here. It extends throughout the State, and' in every city, town and hamlet anxious eyes are turned to Indianapolis to see what her reputable and law-loving people will do Tuesday next. It should be the first object of the people who favor the best interests of the city and the enforcement of the laws, who want to keep down taxes and destroy corruption, to see that the largest vote possible is cast on election day.c The speaker was warmly cheered. George F. Branham, in explaining the purpose of the meeting, said that one of the objects of a permanent club would be to honor visiting statesmen, in doing which he was sore it would make a better showing than that on Saturday last. Wm. T. Brown referred to the organization of an Indianapolis Republican club that was made last winter, and did not see the necessity for two clubs, as he believed the first was in existence. This led to some discussion in which the members of the first elub insisted on preserving its identity. Those who had not joined that club were not particular as to what course should be pursued, their object was to have an organization that would manifest its influence in the coming election. Mr. Branham expressed the views of this class by saying: "I do not care whether the old club takes in the new, or the new the old, so we take in the Democratic votes." John L. McMaster, vice-president of the first organization, was speaking in its interest when General Harrison quietly entered the room. In an instant the applause began. It spread until every one in the room was clapping bands, stampine feet or shouting "Harrison," "Harrison." Mr. McMaster, after an interval of some minutes, during which the enthusiastio reception to the distinguished visitor continued, explained that the club which he represented was part of the Lincoln League of the State, and that its organization, with one hundred members, was still intact. He recommended that the constitution and by-laws of that club be read for the benefit of the meeting. "Let's have it," said Mr. Branham, "and we will turn this crowd over to that club." Judge Martindale did not see any necessity for antagonism in this matter, or for duplicating the clubs. The main object was to still further impress upon the awakened Republicans and others who favored law and order, the need of active work during the rest of the week and on election day. The Republicans present could join the old club, but he would like to see its name changed to the Lincoln Club, a suggestion that met with earnest applause. General Harrison, in response to enthusiastic calls, went to the platform, aud for a few minutes spoke incisively on the issue of the campaign, lie said that, without reference to the merits of the opposing candidates, no one can conceal the fact that the whole campaign in their interest displays itself in the influence and methods which led to the tally-sheet forgeries. That crime has been widely advertised throughout the land, and after it came the trial of the conspirators, when the news went forth that the jury had failed to agree. It is now proposed that the culmination shall be in giving these men who were tried for this great crime control of the city. That would be a calamity to business, a discouragement of capital-seeking investment here. In conducting this campaign the Republicans can appeal to Democrats, Prohibitionists, and all good citizens of whatever party to unite with them in defeating these people. He bad no sympathy with this talk about fencing in the city. Fences have their uses, and he was ,pot in favor of taking them down until he knew there were no depredating animals around. Fencingin simply means observance of law and order. If one law is allowed to be violated with impunity it will lead to culmination in a Hay market riot If the people are to crush this lawlessness they must stand by Mayor Denny as he Las stood by the law. The General's speech was frequently interrupted by the warmest applause,. After speaking of the one great issue, he referred to the organization of the Lincoln League with its central and local clubs. When the plan was adopted it was proposed to have a delegate convention of the local clubs to elect permanent central officers when a sufficient number of the local clubs had been organized. The delegate convention has been called to meet here in December, and he suggested that the action to be taken by the Republicans in the meeting he addressed should be in harmony with the Lincoln League plan. Judge Martindale suggested that the constitution and by-laws of the Indianapolis Republican Club could be referred to a committee, to report at a future meeting. The Republicans present could pledge themselves to beeome members, but that would not interfere with organizing for work on Tuesday. General Harrison thought the by-laws regarding membership could be waived, so all present could become members at once. This suggestion was finally adopted, and every one of the 300 in the meeting joineqthe elub, after which General Harrison, vrhen called upon to outline the work for Tuesday, said that the first duty of every Republican was to vote himself. lie ought to resolve to go to the polls early and stay there during the day to watch 'attempts at illegal voting, and other tricks of the gang. The second thing to be done was to try to get a vote. A gentleman of a large manufacturing establishment bad told him that he had in his employ a young German, an active Democrat, who was going to vote for Denty. He knew of many other instances of the kind. They can be increased by individual work, by talking about the election. Everyone should open bis eyes and look about him and make apreals to his neighbors and friends to vote as he will. Mayor Denny came into the meeting at tbis hour from another be bad been addressing in the South Side. He was greeted with applause and cheers. On going to the platform he said that he felt greatly encouraged by the results of

his canvass in the past few days. He had been in all the wards, and the prospects of success were very bright. , On the other hand, be believed his opponent was not sanguine, for his recent speeches showed that he is road.. -i When a man is mad in politics he is lost Dr. Edenharter in some wards has been saying . that Coy and his gang are not of his kind, but, on the other band, his public utterances are that Coy and the gang are angels, compared with the ; ministers and other good citizens- ' This shows that he is satisfied to go into the election as the Coy candidate. In defining his own position, Mr. Denny said that the issue is just what it was two years ago, and that the platform on which he stood then is one without the change of a letter on which he stands now. After being Mayor two years be had no cause or desire to retract a word he said in his first campaign or to undo an official act be has since performed. No class of men engaged in any business have any right to band themselves together to violate the law. That arrogant organization, so far as it seeks to control the city and State, mnst be wiped out of existence. After a stirring speech from Judge Martindale the meeting adjourned to meet Tburrday evening in Superior Court-room No. 2,-to perfect the organization for work on election day.. The Democrats of the Fourteenth ward last night nominated William Hild for Council. A largely-attended and enthusiastic . Republican meeting was held in the Twenty-fifth ward last night, at Parnell HalL Mayor Denny, John W. Bolus and Councilman Herig were the speakers. Each of them received a hearty welcome, and their remarks were frequently applauded. It is said to have been the best Republican meeting ever held in that Democratic stronghold. Schemes of tlie Gang. Colonization of voters, bribery and the manipulation of ballots are the salient features of the scheme by which the gang Democrats expect to elect Edenharter ' mayor, O'Donnell clerk, and to secure a majority of the Council and Board of Aldermen. While these arrangements are confined to the knowledge of a few, for Coy is not the man, audacious as he is, to shout his lawlessness from the house-top, the signs are plentiful that they exist and are being adjusted for frauds on the ballot equally as atrocious as the tallysheet forgeries. About the cheaper hotels controlled by friends of the gang have been seen, within the past thirty days,' any number of strangers whose appearance indicates anything but a well-filled purse. The thirty' days will give them a residence in the ward, but whether the other requisites of citizenship are fulfilled the gang knows best But there is no doubt that a large portion of these men have been recently imported into the State and will be used in voting illegally in any manner that can be devised without the chance of detection. As an instance. Coy, about three weeks ago, just in time to get a residence of thirty days in the ward, took a man who had come to the city a short time before to a certain ' hotel and paid a week's board for bim in advance. The week went by and the fellow left, but he is still in the city, doing nothing. Where he came from nobody knows, but it is certain he has not been in the State three months. There are other cases equally as bad as this, by which : Coy and Sullivan propose to increase the gang vote: A list of fifty quartered in two of the cheap hotels of the Ninth ward is in the hands of the police. In the Eighteenth ward Coy is wnrkin? nerRifttentlv for bis re-election to the

council, lie minus sncn a result couia oo usea by him, Edenharter, O'Donnell, and bis other political lieutenants, as a partial "vindication," even if the gang city ticket is defeated. To help Coy out personally, and at the same time aid Edenharter and O'Donnell. colonization of fifty or more votes has been made there. These fellows, who have sold . themselves for thirty day's board, lodging and expenses, ean be found in rooms and saloons on East Washington street and below. Until a short time ago they were vacant, but they came in good play at high rent, no doubt, for gang purposes. Further down on the South-Side, especially where the United Labor ticket is thought to have a strong, support, the gang has quartered other strangers Against the honest men whom Coy insulted by terming them "the same old crowd I have been buying for years" his political lawlessness is di rected as much as it is against the ticket of law and order. While a large part of the Liquor League's: contributions of money have been used in colonizing voters, a considerable sum will be used from to-day on until the election in outright bribery. In accomplishing this a complete organization has been made in every precinct where the supposed purchasable votes , can be bad. In each preeinct one or two true and tried rascals have been selected to disburse the corruption fund. Into their keeping, it is said, the money will be given to-day, when the disbursements will at once begin. The plan is systematic in detail, and in preparing for the work the gang has for weeks been sounding those whs; it is thought can be purchased. ..Its agents, having made complete lists of the men who were. HI 4. 11 A. 2 A. - A. 1 1- . gang's executive committee, which consists of Sim Coy and Sullivan, with three or fout others, who are only figure-heads. From these lists calculations have been made as to the number of votes needed to carry certain wards on the South-Side, and in close precincts north of Washington street. Yesterday Coy met the Liquor League's executive committee and submitted the report to it. The money to purchase these extra votes, it is charged, is to come, as did the first corruption fund, from the League's members. It is stated that the League, bowever, will not pay more than $5, nor less than $2. to Coy for each vote needed. What bribery and colonization will n ot da the gang will try to accomplish by manipulating" the ballots in the precincts where the election boards are made np of men who support Coy and his candidates. Edenharter and O'Donnell. There is nothing new in these methods, but as surely as day-light comes on the morning of the election they will be used by inspectors and judges appoiated by Coy. A voter can hand a Republican ticket to a Coy inspector, but there is no certainty, unless that individual is watched, that it will eo into the ballot box. An Edenharter ticket can by substituted for it in the twinkling of an eye. The same inspectoi can allow two, three, four or five tickets folded together to go into the box. When the count comes off and twenty, thirty or forty more tickets than there are names on the poll list ar discovered the gang majority on the board ol election will agree to draw out an equal numbei of Edenharter and Denny tickets to make the count aeree with the poll list. The Edenharte vote will thus make an illegal gain of ten, fifteen or twenty, as the case may be. The Porter-Denny Colored Club of seventyfive members has systematically prepared to assist the committee of one hundred in watching these voting schemes and securing the arrest and punishment of offenders. Its committee, at its own expense has had printed several thousand circular copies of the law against bribery, which reads: Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that whoever hires, buys o offers to hire or buy, or furnishes any money or other means to be used, or directs or permits his money or other means to be used to any persen to rote for hot candidate for any induce, hire or buy or retrain irom voting office, shall be fined not more than one thousand dol lars nor less than ten dollars, and disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any determinate period of cot less than eight years. - Sec. 2.

The benefits of this change were so well marked as to call forth the commendation of the patients themselves. It received the highest approval of the friends of patients, and of the public generally, as it gave to the wards a glow of homelike feeling. The desire to put more voters in the pay of the State, however, has carried Dr. Galbreatb, the new man for whom Dr. Fletcher was turned out, to discharge these attendants whose aire and experience had shown them to be so highly qualified for the plaees to which Superintendent Fletcher had assigned them. The persons thus far discharged -are Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Malone,,Mr. and Mrs. Warwick, Mr. and Mrs. Murphy aud Mrs. Rose. , Dr. Thomas, assistant superintendent, who aspired to Dr. Fletcher's place, but in some way got lost In the shuffle, is reported as having said: "The women must go; d n 'em, they know too much inside and they talk too much outside."
