terday morning, upon its exposure of the wholesale bribery and corruption of voters practiced by the Democrats during the last election. Finding their crime laid hare ' to the eyes of the public, and an effective stop put to the accomplishment of like frauds In the coming election, it behooved them to cast discredit upon the statement. If such a thing were within the range of possibility. They found themselves, however, confronted with the stem facts apparent to every resident of the city at that lime- the fact that there was cast Cor Sullivan over a thonsand ballots which were stamped so as to be counted for him alone. The claim that these votes came from the 'better element" on the North Side was ridiculously shallow. It was a reflection upon the Intelligence of the voters on the North tr'idc, beins virtually a statement that they were unable to vote correctly under the Australian system. It is not probable that so many voters on the North Side were unable to cast an intelligent ballot, while all the voters In other portions of the city should be able to vote intelligently. Neither i. it probable that bo large a number of voters on the North Side intended to vote for but one candidate on the ticket. It Is not necessary, however, to speculate upon possibilities to gala reasonable grounds to believe that the wholesale bribery was perpetrated as exposed in the Journal yesterday morning. A comparison of the talis' chows conclusively that some potent agency was responsible for thi3 peculiar and startling state of facts. By such comparison it is readily seen that the warns and precincts where these purchased votes were cast lay mostly on the South blue, and in districts where there is a large floating vote. In those precints where the floating vote was the largest, there the mysterious "Sullivan-alone ballots" were found In the greatest number. The extent of the wholesale bribery, and thoroughness with which it had been planned, may be fairly estimated when it is seen, by a comparison of the returns, that In some precincts on the South Side there were as high as twenty of these "Sulllvan-alone ballots;" as these ballots alternated with straight Democratic tickets, this represents a total of forty votes purchased In single precincts In some instances. When these figures are considered the wonder is that this wholesale crime did not result in even a larger plurality for the man who draws his support from the gamblers, saloonkeepers and lawbreakers. That the readers of the Journal may see Just what a comparison of the returns shows, some figures are given demonstrating that these "Sullivan-alone ballots" represent the votes purchased with the funds subscribed by the gamblers, as the price of the wide-open policy which has since been Eursued. The Eighth ward is one of the democratic wards where bribery was committed by the wholesale. Figures are given showing the number of these votes cast for Sullivan; the first figure represents the Dumber of the precinct and the second the number of purchased votes cast for Sullivan alons: 78-13. 77-13, 76-14, 73-25, 74-13, 73-14, f-'-tt. 70-10. In the Ninth ward they were as follows: 81-10, SG-11. 80-12 in the Elev enth ward. 93-13, 10M0, 110-15; in the Twelfth ward. 112-10, 114-10, 11S-12, 119-10; Thirteenth ward. 120-13. 123-10, 124-14, 127-14, 128-10: Fourteenth ward, 132-11, 133-14, 135-15; Fifteenth ward. 141-10, 133-11, 143-15. From a comparison of these figures, it will be seen that these purchased votes came in most cases from South-side wards, where It was admitted Sullivan was a weak candidate. From the facts, t would Feem. however, that money was strong. The bribery was also euccessful in those Republican wards where the Republicans had practically no organization. .This was true of the First ward, and here the bribers flourished in their crime. In the r.Inth precinct, it is found, there were twenty-one of the purchased votes, and In the third precinct there were twelve of them. The opposition to the "little Mayor" has assumed such immense proportions ' that the chiefs of the criminals, who were to carry out the bribery at the coming election, recognized the fact that it. would require a larger amount in the corruption fund, and hence the unusually heavy assessment of the gamblers and saloon keeptrs. It Is Xot Too Late. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal. The reading of the method in the Journal, to-day, of the frauds practiced when Mayor Sullivan was last elected clears up a mystery that I could not understand at the time In a precinct of the Thirteenth ward. A well-known Democrat in a railWay freight office and another member of the election precinct board, first one then the other, left the board on election day frequently, and went to a certain place where persons were met, and then would return. This occurred so often that it excited a good deal of comment at the time. It was more than hinted at the time that they were aiding in the purchase of votes, but no one could then understand how thy could be sure of the delivery. The exposure by one of the purchased voters now explains it all. Is it too long ago to make the penalty of tha statute apply in such a case? It. L. K. Indianapolis, Oct. 4.

Till: CADI WAS II1SSKD. UnrnnKUPi That Fell I'pon Iniiympathetif? Kars nt Fountain Square. Democracy received a severe shock in the very stronghold of Democracy last night. The reception given the speakers who addressed the meeting at Fountain Square wa3 coW very cold; it was cold to the point of downright cruelty, and the self laudations of tha "little Mayor" fell flat upon unsympathetic ears. The meeting had been extensively advertised and the weather was propitious, yet the crowd was a disappointment to the hopes of the Democracy. Never before has a Democratic meeting at that place failed" to attract a larg3 and enthusiastic crowd. It is accessible and ths center or a thickly populated residence district. The crowd, last night, numbered about 250 persons. The speakers were Judge Busklrk, Sullivan, Judge Itelnhardt and the boy orator, John Keallng. The efforts of the Cadi to Interest the assembled voters were highly amusing, and his favorite cuts failed to llcit the desired applause. lie was speaking to an unsympathetic crowd, and when he reached the height of his choicest lampoon was greeted with loud-hissing. Mayor ?ulllvan then eulogized himself for about a half hour, and repeated the speech he committed to memory at the beginning of the campaign. He was tolerated, but no applause was tendered him till tin close of the speech, and then it was of such a character as to leave a doubt as to whether it was intended as approval of his remarks, or approval of his intention to desist. Judge Reinhardt spoke briefly in German, and was followed by the "infant phenomenon." who was the only speaker that received applause during hi3 speech. He said this was not a campaign of morality, and he hoped no on would be led astray by the cry of iniquity. PATROL3ICX I.V POLITICS. O fllcer Slmpson'n Time Devoted to "Worltlnpr Street-Cnr 31en. With an exceedingly bulky display of flrmness Police Superintendent Colbert has contended all along that his men would not be permitted to discuss political matters pertaining to the coming election, and he further avowed that he would tolerate no electioneering. Recently, true to his word, the chief has called upon the "green carpet" two or three Republican members of the force whom he suspected were doing some quiet talking for their party. To these men he administered a severe rebuke, and warned them to desist. Strangely enough, Mr. Colbert failed to catch the signitlcance of the mysterious movements on the part of some of his Democratic members, and particularly has he been blind to the new role which officer Simpson has taken upon himself. Simpson is a pretty good officer, and is evidently considered a valuable worker by the Superintendent at this particular time. Patrolman Simpson does night duty for the city and spends his afternoons in expatiating on the virtues of the little Mayor to the street-car men, many of whom the otficer is on familiar footing with, having once been a member of the brotherhood. Yesterday afternoon patrolman Simpson spent two hours in Jumping from one car to another, and remaining on each car only long enough to sound the opinions of the conductor and motorman on the political situation. Mr. Simpson Is also said to have much business in and around the Hendricks Club. Consistency on the part of th Superintendent in the treatment of his men would be an excellent virtue. i'LTTIM; Till: SCUKW5 OX. City i:miloyc Itr.tilred to Plank Dona 20 Per Cent, The Democratic committee has declared a 20 per cent, dividend beg pardon, an assessmentamong the clerks and olllclals given bertha by the administration of the gamblers' mogul. Sullivan. On Monday the employes were all paid off and they immediataly hied themselves to the men appointed to collect the funds. Vic Backus, one of the financiers of the committee, was compelled to come down to the City Hall in the morning to see that all the assessments were paid. Some of the inspectors wanted to pay a part of their assessment then and a part on the next pay-day.

but tha committee was too wily for them and told them there was a probability of not collecting after election day and that the money was needed before and not after an election. City Controller Woollen refused to pay the big assessment levied against him. He offered to make an ordinary donation, and the committee accepted without a word, for they knew that Mr. Woollen was quitting in disgust. "Deacon" Fitchey, the building inspector, refused to pay his 20 per cent., and it is given out that he will be asked to resign if Sullivan Js re-elected. The salary roll In the city amounts to about $50,0( 0 a year, and 20 per cent, gives the committtee $10,000 from the employes of the administration. A 10 p?r cent, levy was first determined upon, but after T. Pinkerton Taggart surveyed the fieid and sized up the situation he saw that it was absolutely necessary to make the levy 20 per cent. Duwu with the RlnK. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Every man who has paid the slightest attention to city politics during the past few years can see that the city has been drifting into the control of a "ring," after the manner of Tammany Hall. They go for everything In sight. They have finally obtained control of the School Board, and are now robbing the city schools of $2,0u0 per annum, by depriving the city of interest on the balances in the hands of the treasurer of the School Board. TtiU was done by direction of "Boss" Frenzel, who is as much a "boss" as ever Tweed was. He controls "our little Mayor" and his party in all matters where it is to his interest to do so. as was instanced by his defeat of Controller Woollen's plan for paying off certain bonds drawing a high rate of interest. The way to defeat this "ring." and prevent the city from being placed in the power of men who will stop at nothing to fleece taxpayers for their own selfish purposes, is to defeat Sullivan and the gang candidates for the City Council. That done, the backbone of the "ring" will be broken. Every citizen who desires that the city business shall be conducted in the interest of the taxpayers, instead of the Frenzel-Sulllvan-Coy ring, should vote for Mr. Denny and his associates. Now is the time to act. CITIZEN. Indianapolis, Oct. 4.

Were All Going: to Vote for Denny. A well-known citizen thus gave the reason for his faith to a Journal reporter yesterday: "It looks as if Denny is going to be elected by a large majority. My friend Will Van Osdoll is desirous of going to California, and has been looking around for some Democrat who would pair with him on Denny. He approached five well-known Democrats on that subject, every one of whom told him they were going to vote for Denny. This morning I approached my neighbor, Mr. A., who has always been a Democrat, and is a personal friend of Mr. Van Osdoll. I asked him If he would not pair with him on Denny, and, much to my surprise, he said: 'Why, I am for Denny myself.' It looks like a regular ground swell." Sheriff's Certificate. The certificates for Republican election sheriffs are at the Republican committee rooms and those officials are requested to call for them and be sworn in. The chairmen of both committees have united on a set of Instructions to officers. These instructions have been put in circular shape and will be mailed to the ofilcers to-day. The only instructions necessary to Republicans and those who desire good government are to stamp the square containing the eagle. At Columbia Hull. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of Twelfth-ward Republicans, at Columbia Hall, at McCarty street and Delaware, last night.

ENGLISH SPY'S STORY Says Egan and Ford Are Reorganizing the Clan-Na-Gael, And that a Revival of Lawlessness in Ireland 3Iay Soon Be Expected A Marc's Nest. London. Oct. 4. The Pall Mall Gazette, this afternoon, publishes alone interview with an ollicer of the secret service who was employed by the British government since the Parnell movement. It ia presumed that the ollicer referred to fa Lo Caron, whose name became well known on both sides of the Atlantio in connection with the Piggott disclosures and the famous suit aeainst the London Times. In the interview referred to, the man supposed to be Le Caron, says that the Clan-na-Gael is being reorganized in the United States under the leadership of Patrick Egan and Patrick Ford. This movement, he claims, is the result of the rejeotion by the House of Lords of the home-rule- bill. Continuing, the alleged otbeer of tho secrut service sare that the chiefs of the (JIan-na-Gael have been in a disorganized condition, owing to the revelation of the Parnell investigation and the murder ot Dr. Cronin in Chicago, bat the olliccrs cow claim that tbe reorganization is quietly progressing. The man believed to be Le Caron i also quoted as saying that it was partly through the absence from the United States of Mr. Lgun. who was regarded by the Clan-na-Gael people as ayeryBtrong man a stroueer man than tho chief now at the head of the society aud who is looked upon as being a perfect orffanizer. that tne Clan-na-Gael lias not taken some decided action before this, lie also claims that there was a silent compact with Mr. Gladstonoto the e fleet that things shall remain quiet until he had tried his band at passing the borne rule bill. Mr. Egan being free, nnd home rule for the present deleated, the man interviewed is quoted as saying tbat "1 am in constant correspondence with the United States, and have also conversed here this weotc with a man now in England who is a member ot tho society. He tells me tbat they declare that something must bo done. For, to be content with what has been done, and with the idle promises of the Gladstoniana after the immense expenditure of money and life, with their best men in prison in England, wonld make tne Irish in America the laughing stock of the world. This would eventually be turned against them even in American politics." The person interviewed then explains at length the split in the Irish party iu lSbS. when the Clan-na-Gael supported Harrison, and showed how Mr. Ean was alleged to have been rewarded, continuing: "If Egan had been in a position to act at the last election Harrison would probably have been elected, whereas, tho Clan-na-Gael and the Irish party was dieorganized and Cleveland captured many Irish votes whioh were cast against him before. The action of the lords is certain to reunite the Clao-na-Gaei. and no person will be admitted to their meetings except those who havo the strongest credentials approved by one of their secret committees. They must adopt a policy to catch the money of tho Irish in America aud the only policy which would do that is an active policy. The Irish are sick and tired ot subscribing money for parliamentary movements, the result of which always ends in an alliance with the Irish factions and the English politicians. Although the sentiments of the best Americans are the same as in England with regard to dynamite, the active party will not fail to remember, to use the expression of Mr. Gladstone. Englaud never gave Ireland any thin, voluntarily. Mr. Gladstone nsed those words at an unfortunate time; tho Premier's words are treasured up. '1 hern will bo a return to the old system of secret societies, with all the attendant horrors. Ireland is peculiarly ripe for such a policy nt the orrsent moment, lu some of the connties the smoldering embers of the old societies are ready to burst intollames. In others, notably in Clnre. secret societies are lu full swing. The evioted tenants have been shsmelully dealt witb, both bv the Parnelhtes and tho antiParnellites. and also by the present government. They will probably ily eagerly to the secret societies."

JAMESTOWN TRAGEDY

Oscar Darnell Shoots His Sweetheart and Then Hip) self. White Girl Caught at Kokomo Eloping1 with a Darke Bishop Kademacher Installed Baptists 3Ieetinff. Special to the InftlanapolU Journal. Ckawfokdsvillk, Ind.. Oct. 4. There is great excitement at Jamestown, sixteen miles east of this place, over a startling murder and suicide last night. Oscar Darnell, aged twenty-one. son of W. J. Darnell, bad been pay ins attention to Miss Tiliie Majors, a young daughter of J. 13. Majors. Darnell was a telegrapher, and was a wild sort of a fellow, aud objections were made to his keeping company with Miss Majors, partly on this account and also on account of her youth. Last evening he drove around for the girl, and they left for a ride. It is stated that ho proposed to go to Lebanon to be married. They spent the night in driving, until 3 o'clock this morning, when Darnell reached the house of his uncle, John Ashley, living a mile from Jamestown, and aroused the family. When thedoor was opened, Darnell came in carrying the body of Miss Majors, who had been shot in the mouth, and was unconscious. Darnell said a band of tramps had been following them, and when she was shot tbat the mob disappeared. Mr. Ashley and son. accompanied by Darnel), started to town for medical aid. After ttointr a snort distance Darnell got out to return to the house. He was greatly excited and wanted to return and await the coming of the doctor. 13 ut he failed to return. After the physician had arrived the young woman partly rallied and gave some facts of the affair. They had been driving over the country, and when near the home of Mr. Ashley, they got into a quarrel, and Darnell shot her in the mouth, tearing away her upperlip and her teeth, the ball lodging in her throat. He then took the girl from the buggy and carried her oyer to a strawstack, where he remained for some time, after which he half carried, half dragged her to the home of Mr. Ashley. The horse nad been started down the road toward Jamestown on a dead run. After Darnell not out of Ashley's buggy he went to the same straw pile where he had carried the girl, and shot himtelf in the head, dying instantly. Mystery surrounds! the a flair, and there are many conjectures as to tho causes leading to the doable crime. A Fostible .Explanation. Special to the Indiana!) oils Journal. Jamestown, Ind.. Oct 4. The prominence of the two families causes the doable'tragedy near here last night to be one of tho saddest experiences of this town. It is believed that Miss Majors was decoyed away witb a view to her rain by young Darnell, and that, failing in this, he had not the nerve to faee an expose of his conduct, 80 assaulted his companion with a knife, arterwards ahootiug her. There ero three r.ely gashes on her neck, one exposing the jugular vein. Miss Majors was but fourteen years old. and by her winsome manners was a general favorite. Darnell formerly was night operator for the Big Four. The murderer lirst concootcd the story about the tramps, but on later reflection, fearing that discovery would be inevitable, he resolved on committing suicide. FASCINATING COLORED MAN.

Tho second day's meeting of the Baptist Ministerial Association had a larger attendance than any day yet. lie v. Huckleberey, of Madison. was in the chair. I.ev. Taylor, of Indianapolis, delivered an interesting talk on "Indiana's Care of Herself." The appeal by the speaker for the revival of State pride in religious work was received with loud applause. "Our Duty to the Gas Belt" was the subject of a paper read by W. G. fctott. president of Franklin College. This brought ud the subject of a more thorough evangelization of the gas belt, as churches there were more likely to become eelf-sustain-ing. The Baptist Publication Society was represented by Mr. Harris, of Chicago, who is probably th e oldest and best posted man in that association on this subject. He declared with much stress that the future population of this country is to como from the alums, and that how to reach this class was a perplexing question. Dr. Scott, of Franklin College, showed that higher education is still receiving increased attention by the Baptist denomination and that Franklin Collego is in a most prosperous condition.
