CAPTUEED BY TIIE OLD GANG

eim Coy Again Asserts Himself as the Leader of Indianapolis Democracy! UIs Stanch Followers Crowd the Primaries, and Do as They Please ia Controlling Voters and Securing the Nominations. The Little Boss 3Iakcs a Peculiar Speech to His Admirers at Mozart Hall. Thej Respond to Ilis Oratorical Efforts rcith Rousing Cheers An Outrage in the Twenty-Third Ward Typical Democrats. The Democratic primaries rere held last night, and the result is one calculated to make the hair on the head of tho Democratic reformer 8t ick out like quills upon the fretful porcupine. Fortunately for tho public peace, the thngs of the organization Lad tnch complete control of tho primaries that they deterred any active opposition to their plans, and the consequence was that while at many of the voting places reputable members of the party xrexp defrauded of their just rights, there was no bloodshed and not more than the usual disorder. In some of the wards, like tho Third, the disturbing element left tho leading citizens of their party in charge and took apparently but little interest in tho proceedings, as they regarded the nominations as merely fonuaL Judge Claypool presided at the Tliird ward meeting, where the name of F. W. fcchaefer being placed in nomination, he was chosen as the candidate lor Council by acclamation, no other name being presented. While no formal action was taken, it is underfitoad that Kdgar Urown will bo presented as the choice of the ward for alderman. The meeting in tho Fifteenth ward was a typical Democratic a flair. ' The voice of the ward's constituency was stilled in tho interest of M. J. Burns in a manner that would bring a blush of shame to tho cheek of the most adept ward politician. When the convention was first called to order, there were three candidates for Council Burns; Patrick Harold and V. W. Cheezum but the last two did not last long enough for their friends to comprehend that they were really candidates. As soon as their names were announced the chairman of the meeting declared that 1 .. - : .. .1 i . i i. iJuiui was iiuiuiuiiicu, unu, iuiiuku no vote was taken, be was hauled up to the J table to make a speech. Tho whole affair was so utterly devoid of fairness that the friends of the other candidates withdrew in disgust and refused to hear Burns sneak. Ilis supporters. ijoWever, seemed perfectly fcatislied with the way in which the nomination had been obtained. Tho singing-room in the Mozart Hall "building tilled np some time before the hour fixed for tho primary in the Eighteenth ward, and the collection was tough enough in its a p pea ran oo to daunt the courago of a field preacher. Statesman Sim Coy was down stairs in tho saloon as early as 7 o'clock, receiving reports from his lieutenants and looking after little details of his campaign. He came up a half hour later, and from that time forward his rotund pennon and white bat were prominent objects in the gathering. His customary smile was absent, except when engaged in convincing Bonie lato comer that his presence had saved the day, and it was evident that he had considerable business on hand. Goose" Eden, Joe Wagner and others of his lieutenants were on deck, and it was fdainly to bo seen that he had his following u good shape. Ho had even taken tho precaution to provide a minister to act as chairman, and the Rev. O. H. P. Abbott, whousod to sell stamps at tho postoflico window, under Grandfather JoncsTs admin istration, was installed hy acclamation. A secular secretary named Baird was added. Bud immediately fifty or sixty of the strong-cst-lnnged citizens in the front seats nomu nated Sim Coy for councilman. Ono nominator indicated that he had been recently - imported for that particular meeting, by getting it "Jim" instead of Sim, but the mistake attracted no remark in the contusion. Joseph Bauer, a resolute-looking young German, was also put in nomination, and tho tellers were about to bo appointed, when a nervous young man named Boland. who had been making frantic erl'orts to attract tho attention of tho chair, climbed on the platform and proceeded to deliver an encomium on Sim. Thin forced urn Ha Iroin even that politic citizen. "Ciesar had Ills Brutus," said Boland. "Charles the Firfrt his Cromwell, and tho Kepublican 1 . ? m . ... fariy nas us oira." mat settled L The next live minutes were occupied in shoving tho crowd between two stalwart tellers, and when . the ballots were poured out of tho hats and counted. Coy's name appeared on 114 of them and Bauer had but Si The latter came up gamely with a motion to make his opponents nomination unanimous, and when this was carried with a rush, Coy .'amo forward to express his acknowledcroSnents. There was considerable blood in lis eye, and the Democratic brethren who inagined that ho had been eliminated from ; ,the political arena would have done well to be present. Ho reminded his hearers of i the days when they had been iu an apnar- . cntlj' hopeless minority, and how.when they Jiad called upon him to become their leader, he had led them out of Egypt into the promised laud. Then ho took up his (councctioa with county a 11 airs, and reviewed the victories attained under his leadership, winding up with a reference to .'.iiis imprisonment, 'I swear, boforo God nud this audience," said the orator, raising liis hand and standing on tiptoe, "that I was innocent of the crime charged upon lue. and the man who committed it walks the streets to-day. Now, that I am back, and your leader again. 1 promise you my lest etl'orts, and if you will stand by me as before, I promise you that when the smoke of the battle rolls away, we shall again be found triumphant." There was a brief intermission for congratulations at tho conclusion of the oration, and when ordex was restored again Fred Heyer and John H oilman were elected os committeemen, together with a list of delegates to tho aldermanic convention and the primary, together with the nominees, adjourned for refreshments. A wild scene of confusion and disorder was witnessed at tho meeting in the Nineteenth ward.heldln the saloon at the southwest corner of Washington and East streets." As this is a corner of the ward, the meeting was believed to have been lixed in the interest of candidate Dully, and many of tho voters purposely absented themselves. At the time for the proceedings to begin not moro than lifty of the bona rule voters of the ward were present, while tliree hundred persons stood Around with ticket in their hands to vote for Dufly. Irish Hill furnished a large per cent, of the would-be voters, and some were present who live even imyond Woodruff Place. It was evident that tho meeting had been packed and tho friends of O'Cdnnorand Austin declared that they Would never abido by a choice that was laade by such a meeting. After an hour of wrangling the precinct committeemen were elected and the meeting voted to postpone the nomination of a candidate, till next Friday nicht, when a regular primary will beheld. Sim Coy is paid to bo backing Dully, and it was bis inlluenec that caused Irish Hill to send its crowd down to the relief of the little boss. In tho Twenty-second waid the Kelley end tiiznbel factions had a lively tiino in trying to agreo on a form of proceeding. The wrangle continued with hut words for tome time, resulting in a postponement to a date not tixed. In the Twenty-third there was an outrageous exhibition of political bulldozing aiul chicanery. Tho mooting was presided over by Cornelius knllivaii, the brother-in-law of Councilman Mark', a candidate for renomination. jfot content with Mctirtng control of the platform. Mr. Markey organized a gang on the floor under the h ad ot John Jtrnriloti. that would have caused a Crawford county White-cap band to hide its dimiuUheU head, if contrasted with Mr. Keaidon'a , troops on dress parade. Mr. Keardon's cilorts, however. cinnot be set down -either as entimly disinterested, pr duo solely to ties of family kindred and aiiVetion, since he is himself a candidate for alderman iu the district of vklch the Twenty-third ward ia a portion.

and was naturallr concerned in securing the aldermanic delegates to bo appointed by the meeting. In auveventhe succeeded, in connection with the brewery strikers and political plug-nglies of bis following, in perpetrating an outrage on the fair-minded

democracy of that district wnicn wuj not oe lorgotten when Ins own case comes up for settlement. The withdrawals of Philip Wolf rnd Harold Schmidt had been secured in Markey's interest, leaving as his only opponent . 11. Hohit,ayoung Democrat.weii known throughout tho ward. When tho nominations were placed before tho meeting, it was proposed that the tellers should station themselves at tho side door. and. tho voters passing out the front, should return by the side entrance, voting as they entered, inis fdan, apparent' fair, turned out to bo a de iijon and a snare to Hohlt's supporters. Tho Markey men managed to monopolize the lront of the procession, and, aftr they had gotten their votes in, they took advantage of a break in the lino to close tho voting-door and tho election at the same time, shutting out a considerable portion of Hohlt's support. The excluded voters were subsequently admitted, when tho front doors were opened, and made an earnest effort to have their ballots received, but were refused, and the vote thus fraudulently taken gavo Markey a majority of 84. his vote standing 209 to 125 for Hohlt. There was considerable cheering among Markey's supporters when the result was announced, and corresponding dissatisfaction among Hohlt's backers, who declined a proposition to make Markey's nomination unanimous. A speech by the latter failed to restore the equanimity of tho defeated candidate and his friends, and, after choosing Ernest Brown and Michael Heiney as committeemen and selecting tho delegates to tho aldermanic convention, the primary adjourned in an unsettled frame of mind. In tho other wards of tho city, tho primaries were less numerously attended and in some of them lack of interest was plainly apparent. This eveniug there will be a meeting of the newly -elected Democratic city committeo in one of the Superior Court rooms and aldermadic conventions will also be held at the following places: First district.

A New York Times special thus describes the meeting at Asbury Park last Sunday: 'It was a novel sight, and one never to bo witnessed, except at the annual love feast. Tho lovo feast had scarcely broken up before the morning preaching hour arrived. The auditorium had been tilled at 8 a. m.v and consequently the late comers wero obliged to stand up in the circle about the auditorium. Many were unable to get within hearing distance, even, and were obliged to attend the several overflow meetings held on the grounds. Tho preacher, tho Rev. Dr. Cloveland. of Indianapolis, faced an audience made up of over 8,000 men, women and children when he stepped forward to announce his text, which was Daniel, xi, 10: 'And his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem.' It was a grand sermon, full of consolation to tho Christian and replete with promises to the unsaved. For over ninety minutes the eloquent divine discoursed on his text. The coudition and resources of individuals and national welfare was the theme." Church Note. Elder P. R. Van Puskirk, of tho Third Christian Church, has returned to tho citv from an extended vacation. Ho will till his pulpit, both morning and evening, tomorrow. At the Central Christian Church, to-morrow, the pastor, U. R. Lucas, will comply with the request of tho Knights of Labor, and preach a sermon on "The Pible and the Labor Problem." Hun Over by the Cars. An unknown man, in all probability a tramp, was run over by a freight train at the Anderson-street crossing, shortly before 1 o'clock this morning. The ambulance was summoned and he was conveyed to the City Hospital, where medical examination proved that his wounds would bo fatal. One hand was severed at the wrint and ho had sustained, besides several severe contusions, four large gashes on the head.

A MAN WILD WITH DRINK.

With Revolvers lie Drives Women Out of a House, and Then Attempts Suicide. At 10:30 o'clock Jast night, Kate Denton ran up to Washington street, in great alarmr and announced to Merchant policeman McShulse that a man was in her house, and. with a revolver in either hand, had run the inmates out and taken possession. Upon entering the place, the officer found a man, much intoxicated, seated upon a sofa, with revolvers, as described by the woman. Ho snapped the weapons as the officer approached,, but, fortunately, neither of them was discharged. Officer McShnlso knocked tho weapons aside, and brought tho man to the floor with his billy. He then took possession of the revolvers and started with him for the station-house. Here he was recognized as Adamson, half brother of Robert Greenman. a barber who formerly was clerk at the Spencer House. Adamson, for some timo baa been at Columbus. O.. from which place he returned to this city, about tw0 weeks ago. While placing nis name upon tho slato and stowing away the revolvers in the custody of the jailor. Adanmson was allowed to stand alone .in tho middle of the room which opens into tho prison. Suddenly, and before any one could surmise his intention, ho drew another revolver from bis pocket,' a twenty-two calibre weapon,(the others were thirty-eights.) and, Jdacing it against therignt side of hishead, ired.; He fell to the floor, and police surgeon Hodges was sent for, arriving in a short time. The bullet penetrated the brain, and. though the man was alive at a lato hour, it is not likely that ho will survive his injury. He is twenty-eight years old and addicted to drink. He was conscious for a time after he was shot, and said he had tried to kill himself because he was in trouble. The police think the revolvers that ho had were stolen property. She Swallowed Morphine. Mrs. Bock, living at No. 51. Lock street, took morphine last evening with -suicidal intent, but was relieved from the effects of tho drug by tho hospital physicians.

Tho Free-Trade Rulings, of Democrats Re sponsible for the Depression in WooL Hartford Courant. It would be exceedingly instructive to have a look at the books of the various woolen concerns that have lately collapsed and compare their indebtedness iu 1S89, when they went under, with their indebtedness back about 1883. wheu the wool tariff was put at 10 cents a pound. As we havo already pointed out. wool has fallen the whole amount of the duty in that period, so that, as compared with 1883, they now get their wool free. It is very ignorant generalization which assumes that they fail now because of sudden trouble now. They fail now because their lingering trouble has come to a head. Sledding along on borrowed money, they meet an occasion when the lender declines to lend further, and down they go. We venture the opinion that the woolen concerns have been for four years increasing their obligations and gravitating toward the troubles that havo come upon them of late, and that which has done most to drive them in that direction has been the hostile policy of tho Treasury Department. Its rulings have been iutho interest of free trade and the. importers. A vast power rests with the customs olucinls in the determination of tho duties and tho power has for four -years been executed again8tour home industries and in favor of the foreign manufacturer. It has hurt hurt badly. Tho present administration has undertaken to correct tho mischief, but it cannot undo tho harm that has been done. Tho Democratic free-trade administration of Cleveland went out of power with the manufacturing interests of tho country much worse off than when it came iuto power. Its loader in the White House attacked them in his famous message; its leaders in Congress were notoriously hostile to manufactories in speeches and m committee. Their opposition had to do harm. Now they, point to the mischief they have made as evidence of the need for more free trade. "JIAJIONE'S METHODS. A Sharp Rebuke to Republicans Who Fall Into Mugwump Ways. Washington Post. It has been quite tho fashion for Kepub lican papers, under the inspiration of Mugwump attacks on Mahone, to speak iiua deprecating wav of Maboae'8 methods." We havo even known Republican United States Senators, who. but for tho stand taken by Mahone when he entered the Senate, would have been deprived of their places as committee chairmen, taiK the samo way. The Post is not Mahoue's or any other political leader's champion, but it despises snivelling hypocricy. From tho day Ma hone entered tho Senate and cast Jiislot with the Republican party ho has been as staunch and true a Republican as Sherman, Edmunds, Ingalls, or even the distinguished benators from Iowa. His methods" wero tho samo as their methods. In tho matter of federal patronage ho pursued tho same policy as that pursued by Senator Allison or auy other Republican Senator. Ho insisted upon his right to bo consulted about patronage in his own State just as Senators Allison and Wilson insisted upon being conStilted about federal patronage in Iowa. Mahone.'s bitterest enemies in his own State will not deny that he is an able and courageous leader. His votes in the Senate will stand tho full test of Republican ism as compared with tho votes of the most stalwart Republicans of that body. Ho has Buttered more for his Repub licanism and gi"en more of his private fortune to build up tho party in Vir ginia than any other Republican Senator has sintered or coutriDuiea' ior tne same purpose. It ill becomes Republicans of tho North to ioin the Democratic and mugwump jour nals in ascribing to "Mahoue's methods" a disrenutable taint. Whatever "Mahonc'smethods," there was no Republican Senator so exalted in politi cal character that he refused to benefit be the vote which Mahone cast when ho gave to the Kepublicaus the control of the Senate. Republicans, at least, should be fair, to Mahone. Northern Republicans never havo been. FOILED BY A GIliU, She Faints, and Thereby Prevents Her Father Being Robled by Card Sharpers. Allntown (Pa.) Special. Three bunco sharps are operating in 4he lower end of Lehigh county, and are playing tho same game by which, two weeks ago, a fanner near Washington, N. J., was swindled out of 7,000. Two of the sharpers called on a farmer named Abraham Bechtel, in Lower Milford, three days ago, and, pretending they wanted his advice in tho matter of tne purchase of a farm for which they were negotiating, induced him to enter a carriage and drive off in the direction of the supposed farm. Ret ore they had proceeded far they met a third party, who said ho was looking for a young girl who bad lust come into a nig inheritance. Presently tho latter produced cards and engaged in a friendly game with the three men in the carriage. The old farmer several times named the winuiug card, and t a 1 j! . soon it was proposeu io piay ior wuuey, with two men on a side. The old farmer and his partner won $5,000 each, but before they got tho money the farmer was required to put up $2,000 to show that had ho lost he would have been able to pay. With one of tho sharpers ho returned to his house to get the money, but when he explained his ihission to his wife and children they . protested vigorously, saying ho was being made a dupe of swindlers. Ho insisted on getting the money and was on his way back to tho game when one of his daughters laintea. This caused him to run to her assistance. and the sharper, suspecting that the game was up, nasiny leu, rejoining nis companions, who lost no time in seeking a new field of operations. Plans of the Preldent's Family. Snrlal In Philadelphia Pres. The quiet life of tho President's cottage will be disturbed several times the next fortnight. Mrs. Harrison has promised to meet her father. Dr. Scott, at Philadelphia. the first of next month, and take him to the celebration of the Log-cabin Church, upon which he has set his heart. Then the Presi dent has partly agreed to bo one of the party that will go down from here to tho Baltimore exposition, which occurs Sept. V. 10 and 11. Mr. Robert McKee, who came on with President Harrison from Indianapolis, will niako a ten davs' stav in the mountains. when he will goto llostou on a business trip that will probably take him two weeks, returning here for tho last fortnight in September, after which he will take, Mrs. Mc Kee and children back to Indianapolis, where she expects to remain until the open ing of the Washington social season. Mrs. Harrison has expressed a determina tion to remain at Deer Park until the last of October, as ho bpCciall enjoys tho

mountain scenery in tho fall. If she does

this, it is nrobable that she will close the McKee cottage and bo tne gueat of Senator and Mrs. Davis the last month of her stay. It is stated to-night that tho President may chance his plans and not go back to Washington ior a permanent stay unui ucu u Sympathy for Company D. Washington Tost. Wo are nrofonndlv interested in tho trial by court-martial of the Indianapolis Light Infantry Company, which refused to apSear in tho President's procession the other ay except in full-dress uniform. If the rond American soldier is to bo crushed and lumiliated by having to obey orders, we give it ont cold and flat we are not coineto join tho army. We prefer to bo a gorilla, and wear plaid pants when we leci iiko k, and carry parasol if we want to. What is to become of the coble pride of our glorious race if somebody .who happens to have a pair of shoulder-straps nastea to his coat can come aloug and tell us how we must dress? Is this a land of despotism? Isn't it a republic, whew every man Is his own boss? We must say we enjoy tho spirit manifested by the Indianapolis soldier, and wo hope that when the3T shall nave demonstrated their right to wear their swallowtail clothes if they want td. tbey will then make u strike against that other despotic military rule which tyrannically commands them to keep step when they get out for a little stroll with their guns on their shoulders. We trust, also, that the privates in the regular army will rise ono of these days and assert their manly inde pendence of the rules laid down for their guidance. lie Was a Democratic Postmaster. Washington Tost. A gentleman from Illinois one who was in tho Legislature in 1SS5 was in Wash ington yesterday. This is one of the tales he told: Editor Clcndenin, of tho Springfield Register, was the postmaster under Cleveland. A great many cojiplained that the otlice was badly managed, but Mr. Ulendenin said they were his enemies who said so, and that the complaints were all for political effect. One day the postmaster wrote to a local railroad officer lor a pass to use on the following day. He sent the note by a messenger who, not finding tho railroad man m. left it on his desk, the nxt day the pass had not come. Mr. Clendemn paid his fare, and was. pretty huuy about it, but said nothing. Ten davs later the pass came to him through the mail. The railroader had droppep! it into a mail-box near his office, addressed it very plainly to Mr. Clendenin, within an hour after the boy bad left the note requesting it. . Ohio Democrats. Philadelphia Press. I o : oft .l. tv a i : .j I oiucu i poo uiu uemocrais uave cairicu Ohio only six times. They have elected only three of the fourteen Governors chosen during that time. Some cause hask been present to weaken the Republican varty every year they have succeeded. Tho last time they carried the State was in 1853, when George Hoadly was chosen Governor and a majority in the Legislature was secured. I he saturnalia of corruption that followed will not soon bo forgotten by tho Ohio peonle. In lb5 they attempted, by colossal frauds and forgeries, to carry tho State again, but failed. There is nothing in the situation to give the Democrats any hope of success this year. Tho Republican nartv is united and enthusiastic over tho renomination of Governor Foraker. andthe opportunity ofl'ered to rebuke tho wholesale bribery in tho election of 'Senator Payne will arouse tho Kepublicans to their utmost ellorts. Owen's First Visit. Deer Park Special. . Representative Owen has been the victim of a mistake, lie made his first visit to Deer Park to-day, although lie was reported to have been hero last week. When asked whether ho would now havo the interview with President Harrison in regard to an extra session that was credited to him. he laughingly said that he only cam to make a friendly call on his chief before going to Indiana. Would lie a Popular Invention. To it on Globe. The'travelcr in an English railway "car riage" now drops a penny in tho slot and. gets an electric light to read by. aow why not drop a dime in the slot in the theaters, and get a chance to "see a man" without leaving your seat? That would be a popular invention with those who sit on the outside seats. Taking Time by the Forelock. New York Press. The Press doesn't mean to be beaten by its Democratic opponentfthis time, and henco is at tho point of admitting that,the loss of $700,000 .worth of wheat by ure in California is what might have been expected of a Republican administration. i Still Robbing Goir in West Virginia. Cleveland Leader. Down in West Virginia the Bourbons are still manufacturing votes for Fleming, the candidate for Governor last fall. They have already counted him in, but they continue to rob General Goff, probably just to be consistent m their deviltry. Tun brave General is 60 superstitious that he will not get out of bed at the left side. If a black cat or a red-haired woman crosses his path in the morning, he will do nothing of importance that day. Ohio, Indiana & Western Railway (I., B. & W, Boute.) EXCURSIONS TO COLUMBUS, O.
