ffo Ilrenlifnwt for Ci rumbling Wenlerw Tin I'nknntTnx Routed. DIUGHTWOOD PAlti:. D. C. April 5 Although they had pitched their tents on the promised land, the Commonwealers of Christ have not found It a land flowing with milk and honey. The morning sunlight thawed out a stiff and cold and hungry lot of tourists atter the first night passed In the District of Columbia. Many of the rank and file had stretched their limbs unprotected upon the bare ground within the inclosure of canvas which circle.their quarters, and which is called Camp George Washington. Their leaders, General Coxey and Marshal Carl Browne, were In the city three miles below, ensconced in the luxurious surroundings of a three-dollar-a-day hotel. The shabby tents only provided accommodations for the commune leaders anc1 privileged characters of the retinue, and, as for the private?, they swarmed like rats in the commissary wagons, while others simply dropped to sleep without blankets or covering on mother earth. There was a scramble for the shelter of the horse sheds In which Coxy's high-priced stallions were stalled. Stallions fetch a market price, and it Is necessary that they Ehoild be rubbed down, bedded, watered and fed. Men have not' been exchangeable for legal tender In these parts since "befo de wah," and it goes to no one's loss but their own If they drop off. One contingent of wealera was provided for In the long shed attached to the clubhouse of the racing: track near by. The landlord of the house had dumped a load of bristling, thorny rye straw into the shed, and upon this a half hundred privates made their bivouac. They snuggled into the straw like sardines in a box, and declared that such luxury had not been thrust upon them since they started from the historic precincts of Mastflion. For the others, Camp George Washington might better have been titled Valley Forge. Meanwhile, whll3 the body of common wealers were dropping into uncomfortable slumber In their tent it was faring hard with the little contingent of irregulars under the leadership of patent medicine fakir liozzaro, once styled, the "Unknown Smith." Bozzaro's crow J of fifteen outcasts had lighted its camp fire after the most approved tramp style In a piece of woods 'on the edge of the suburban village of Takoma. half a mile distant. Their presence had become known to the commuters of Takoma. and it struck terror to the hearts of women and children. The police force of Takoma, three mounted officers, assembled en, masse and bore down valiantly upon the contingent of the Unknown,. Smith himself was not there. He hal followed the illustrious example of Coxey and Browne and had betaken himself to the luxuries of a city hotel. The edict of the Takoma police was trief and. to the point. "Now. you must eit " tfle captain commanded, and the unknown shouldered their solitary kettle and their bundles of clothing and sullenly slunk away, cursing with piratical eloquence and fluency. They were followed to the District line by the police department, and thud ended the reform parade of BoWRn o'clock came before the fires were lighted for breakfast in the camp of Xhc regulars. Neither Coxey nor Mrowne tod arrived: no one was there with authority to enlift the W'afhington commune, and the outlook was dreary. Many Privates free to go, whither they listed, had drifted down the country roads towards the city, bent upon sight-seeing. Townspeople were pouring in on foot, on bicycle, in carriages and on horseback, and laying down thir voluntary toll to bugler Thatcher, who presided at the park gate. Three policemen from the city had been detailed to keep order, but their services were not needed and they mixed with the army on the best of terms. . TT During the morning health officer Hammet, with several assistants, came out to Inspect the camp. Two sick men were found in a tent, one of them 1111am Fitzgerald, the standard-bearer, threatened with pneumonia; the other, John Smith, leader of the band, who had taken a bath in a wayside brook Sunday and was suffering from a chill. Both of the men .were wrapped in blankets on the ground. The health officers promised to send a doctor and medicine to them. Noon arrived and with It rio breakfast for the hungry men. Mutterings of discontent were heard. The men seemed to be particularly bitter against Carl Browne, who was living high In the city. There was even talk of lynching him when he should put In an appearance. One of the commissary, wagons had driven down to city headquarters and had not returned, hence the delay In breakfasting. Meantime the men lay about, the camp shaving, playing cards, reading all the newspapers they could sectire and talking mutiny. Twenty-five lay about a commune leader who read a long description of the army from a morning Taper. When he came to the statement that Browne was a man versed in history. Scripture and mathematics, he commented, "Mathematics what the hell Is them?" From the comments passed on the dispatches from Western armies, It was apparent that the men closely followed the movements of their allies. Carl Browne, the marshal, put in his appearance about 5 o'clock this afternoon. He was garbed in his spectacular buckskin suit and occupied a seat - of a grocer's wagon loaded with bread. The men crowded around the wagon with angry muttering?, but the sangfroid of Browne was absolutely unquenched.' "Our friends down town this morning told us they would make all the arrangements for supplies," he shouted, mounting the seat of the wagon and waving a huge loaf of bread. "Brother Coxey took them at their word and left them to care for the provisions while we tended to more important things. We have been arranging for tiie grand parade and demonstration tomorrow morning, and we have secured a r.ew camp ground for you. I don't blame you, boys, for feeling hot, but, as Shakepeara says, 'All's well that ends well, and the great army of the commonweal Is still before the eyes of the Nation." This harangue mollified the men somewhat, although one of them turned away remarking: "Yes. that's the way he has jollied us all along the line." Browne then went to the headquarters tent, where he was surround?d by spectators. "There will a hundred thousand sympathizers with the army from out of town here to-morrow," he declared. "All of them will not march, but they will be here and the movement will spread. Wo have kept all of our promises up to date and we are going to keep them. The parade will come off as it has been advert ised. and. we will hold our me?ting on the Capitol steps." Better spirits pervaded the camp after the tlrst meal, and hardly had the men munched their bread than another meal of beans, salt meats, tomatoes, coffee and bread va- under way. Althoup ii the bar at the clubhouse, within a stone's throw of the camp, did a thriving business all day with the hundreds of spectators who -came from the city. It was not patronized by th2 commonwealers. chiefly from lack of funds. There was great disappointment among the spectators beciuse no reincarnation services were held during the day. Twenty mounted policemen selected from the various precincts patrol tho country In which the Coxey camp Is located. They are In command of a sergrant and will take into custody any one violating any of the regulations of the District. Miss Mat tie Coxey, of Massillon, the seventeen-year-old daughter of the commonweal chieftain, rt ached here to-day. She will ride at the head of the profession tomorrow, representing the Goddess of Peace. Coxey did not go out to the camp during the morning, but he did call on the District commissioner and asked authority to occupy a vacant lot at Second find M streets, About ten squares awiy from the Capitol. COXKY VIMITS CRISI And I HelmlTed by the Speaker Tent Cnne In the Court ft. WASHINGTON. April 20. Coxey started out early this evening to obtain an interView with Messrs. Stevenson and Crisp and request them to suspend for to-morrow the regulation closing the Capitol grounds to parades. It was not until 11:1.1 that Mr. Coxey wad able to obtain an interview with Mr. Crisp. At that hour, however, he was received, and. In company with Carl Browne, remained forty minutes. Mr. Coxey asked that his mn be allowed to enter the grounds of the Capitol as individuals tomorrow, and later to assemble on the steps for the address. Mr. Crisp inquire ! concerning the nature of the address which would be delivered, and Mr. Coxey outlined his well-known doctrine. Mr. Crisp declined to interfere with the laws concerning the use of the Capitol grounds and buildings. "The chief representative of the Democratic -urty in Congress," said Mr. Coxey, as he came dwntairs. "ha refused to grant the rights to the American people." Mr. Coxey went to the Normandie HotI twice during th evening to see the Vice Pri.:: Inn, but Mr. Stevenson was out. Mr. Cojiey's plan, as outlined this evening, is to ta!w every rtcp to bring about his object, but with the expectation of succeed.

but for the purpose of putting his case before the courts In the legal test which he expects. He will proceed to-morrow until he Is stopped by the officers of the law. His plan Is then to demand that he be arrested, and he will appeal to courts of law. The chief of police to-day issued a permit allowing the army of the commonweal to parade. COXEY'S BILLS DOOMED.

The Honae Determined to Ignore the Commonweal .Movement. WASHINGTON, April 30. There is to be no Coxej t:dk in the Hoase of Representatives If thce xho direct the course of legislation can prevent it, and they think they can. It has been, appreciated that an inflammatory debate m'ght readily be started in the House rs an injunction to the Coxey demonstration cutside, pnd care has been taken to cut olt the posslbUty of such a discussion. The House leaders feel that such a course is Imperative in order to avoid congressional encouragement to the movement. Iteso'utlons which may be submitted bearing on Coxey's bills, or the treatment of Coxey' a men, or hearings, for Coxey delegations will be promptly referred to committees without debate. Once in committee there Is no likeUhood of the measure emerging until the questions are settled. Neither will the House leaders construe vany Coxey resolution as embracing a question of privilege permitting it to be debated without reference to committee. By these means the House will proceed with it3 regular business as though the Coxey demonstration had not occurred. The only means by which reference to Coxey can be crowded Into the debate will be the Injection of a Coxey speech Into the debate on one of the pending appropriation bills. This will be discouraged, and, if possible, prevented, and at the most an injected speech can accomplish nothing. LADY MACBETirS CHARACTER. Richard Greene Monlton Gives an Analysis of It Prof. Richard Greene Moulton continued his lectures in the university extension course at the Propylaeum last evening before a large audience. The lecture was the fourth of the series and was the second evening devoted to the study of Shakspeare's "Macbeth." The particular subject was "Thinking About Characters," with especial attention to that of Lady Macbeth. Professor Moulton said that her character was one of the greatest questions of Shakspeare's literature. Lady Macbeth was an example of character about which , there was an absolute difference of opinion. Some people think that Macbeth is a noble nature ruined by the machinations of an evil wife, and others think he is of a low nature. The speaker then told of the old-time presentation of plays when the characters all wore masks, and were created in types, while in Shakspeare's plays the characters could not be arranged In .types. Mr. Moulton used the theory that human beings are all of a dual nature In analyzing the character of Macbeth. One is the outer life, which all men see, and the other Is the inner life, and In that no others share. The Blbje, general literature and humor of Thackeray and Dickens were used in citing evidence of this two-fold nature. He showed that Macbeth was the strong man In action, but the weak man Jn suspension; that he might have planned the Suez canal, unified Germany, or done some other great deed if he had lived to-day. Macbeth speaks grand words, and that Is where people have been misled in thinking him a grand man. Professor Moulton gave three instances In the play where Macbeth's character Is shown. In Act 1, Scene 5, by Lady Macbeth, In Macbeth's soliloquy, and in the scene where he Is anxious to give up the treason and Lady Macbeth wants him to stick to It. In the latter, however, Professor Moulton argues that Macbeth only wants to nut It off. In the first part of the scene Macbeth wants to put it off and in the latter part he enters Into it with enthusiasm. This change is wrought by the practical suggestion of how the deed shall be done by Lady Macbeth. I As to the character of Lady Macbeth the lecturer thinks that she has a feminine nature, but that she has been shut out of active life, which has left her inner nature to be cultivated; that she is a type of the inner life and that her will Is strong. The popular vfew is that Lady Macbeth had no feminine nature, but she has and her will holds It down. Lady Macbeth has also been thought to be ambitious, but there Is not a line In the play which shows that she has any ambition for herself; that she Is simply carried along by the ambition of her husband. The tragedy of Lady Macbeth, the speaker said, begins when she receives the letter from Macbeth, which tells of his meeting the witches and what they have sain to him. Just at that moment the servant enters and tells her that "The King comes nere to-night." Her sudden start shows that she is conscious of the murder which they have planned. At this point comes the civil war between her feminine nature and her strong will. This was followed by a recital of the murder scene, when Ladv Macbeth consents to do the deed, and when sh Is Just about to do it she hesitates because the king looks, in his sleep, like her father. It was shown that she had no conscientious scruples, for she places the daggers where her husband will be sure to And them. As a finale, the sleep walking scene was recited, and at each point where the delirium changes the change was explained, and the last exit of Lady Macbeth was made. The passages recited were finely given, and the two lectures have been wonderfully ingenuous in their analysis of these two most interesting characters. Professor Moulton differs so materially with so many popular ideas that he furnishes a continuous fountain of new thought. Put for every difference is given logical reasons, and he recites the passage of the play or an appropriate paragraph from some other source to convince his hearers. The next lecture, next Monday evening, will be on "The Tempest," and the last will be "Stories as a Mode of Thinking." which Is a general review of the separate examples he has been giving in the course. HEMMED IX HY BERGS. Experience of the Steamer Corenn In a Sen of lee. PHILADELPHIA, April SO. After a twenty-one-d' voyage of unusual severity the Corean, an Allan line steamship, in charge of Captain Main, has arrived at this port bearing marks of a long battle with icefloes, from which the iron vessel barely escaped. On April 18, in latitude 43.30 north, longitude 48.43 west, an immense Iceberg was encountered, and at once an extra watch was set and a kesn lookout kept. That the precaution was wise was demonstrated by warnings given shortly after dark, which saved the ship from collision with another large berg. On April 19, .before daybreak, the Corean ploughed her way deep into a huge lcetield. where sh3 became bound. They were then fifteen miles off Cape Itace. and It was found that the icefield extended to the coast and for miles on either side. It was Impossible to make the harbor of St. Johns, N. F. During the four days the Corean was fast bound, hemmed In by high bergs that threatened to crush the vessel, the cold was severe and the crew suffered greatly. On April 22 the Corean was within fifteen miles of shore, and third officer Plerson was sent to land to communicate by cable with the Corean agent, asking for orders. A reply came instructing Captain Main to proceed to Halifax as soon as the vessel tecame free. Slowly a passage was worked out of the icefields and she reached blue -water on the 23d.

In addition to Mr. Meyer, of Fort Wayne, who has figured largely here as the secretary of Cie local "reception" committee to Coxey, whose "reception" activity up to the present time seems to be co mined to receiving money, food and clothing, Indiana has the questionable distinction of being the native place of two other Coxey lieutenants. The redoubtable "Oklahoma Sam" Is said to have been born at Columbia, where his name was Samuel A. Pfrimmer. His parents stld live there. Maiohall Schrurnm halls from Brazil, where he was a miner.

INTERESTING FIGURES

Married, Single, Divorced and Widowed Persons in Indiana. No Lack oft Marital Enterprise on the Tart of Hoosicr Girls -Indiana Tax Cases Not Yet Decided. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, April SO.-The . latest bulletin issued by the Census Bureau is one giving the number of married, single, divorced and widowed persons in the United States on June 1, IKK). Nearly four years have elapsed since the Census Bureau's young men went around asking what must have been rather embarrassing questions to many people, and as Cupid is never idle and as lonely widows never tire, it is safe to assume that there have been changes in the figures of the "females, single, married and widowed." Th figures for Indiana would seem to indicate no lack of marital enterprise on the part of the Hoosler girls. Certainly they appear to have let few of the guilty men escape. There are 1,118,347 men In the State of all ages, colors, races and previous - conditions of servitude, marital and otherwise. Of these 670.8C7 are single, 413,733 are married. 29,892 are widowers, 3,000 are divorced and S55 are classified under the mysterious title of "unknown." There are 1,074,067 females, of whom 413,523 are married; then there are no less than 71,252 widows and 4,711 divorcees; there are 584,184 maids, young and old. The female "unknowns" number 3S5. It, therefore, from these figures appears that there are 43,600 more unmarried men in Indiana than there are women. But as there are at the same time in the whole State nearly 43,000 less women than men it is evident that the girls know the4r business, and that there Is et least one Infant industry that fears nothing from the Democratic tariff bill. As for Indianapolis, men are at a premium, or, at least, weie In 1S90. There were only 52,303 of them a against 53,133 women. There were 20.1S3 married men who claimed 20,121 married women among them, so that there are 61 possibilities of interesting stories in the town. It is surprising, perhaps, that with nearly 1,000 more women than men In the city there are 27,603 unmarried girls and but 30,430 unmarried men, an undivided surplus, so to speak, of nearly 3,000 men. To add to the girls other worries there are, besides the natural comrtetltlon among themselves, no less than 4.971 widows, for whom only 1,405 widowers have been provided. The divorce courts have contributed only 14S men, which places Indranapolls thirteenth In the divorce column of the fifty leading cities of the United States. SYl'HCMI? COURT DECISION'S. Interstate Commerce Cannot He Taxed by States. WASHINGTON. April 30. The Supreme Court adjourned to-day until Monday, May 14, the beginning of the new term. In the case of J. W. Brennan, plaintiff in error, vs. th city of Tltusvllle, In error, to the Supreme Court of , Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court to-day decided that "no State can levy a tax on interstate commerce In any form, whether by duties laid on transportation of the subjects of that commerce or on the receipts derived from that transportation, or on the occupation of carrying it on." The decision is a reaffirmation of a former decision on a State tax on a general commission business. The decision of the Pennsylvania court was reversed. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion. The two cases of Jacob C. Mann, appellant, vs. the Tacoma Land Company and Milton L.. Baer, plaintiff In error, vs. Moran Brothers Company, from the Circuit Court for Washington and from the Supreme Court for Washington, known the Tide lands cases, were decided together, Justice Brewer delivering the opinion and affirming the Judgment of the lower court. The question involved was whether the tide lands In question, which really constitute the water front of Tacoma, could be located with Valentine Scrip. The court held that they could not. and titles passed to the State on Its admission to the Union. Justice Harlan delivered the opinion in the case of Morris Blitz, plaintiff in error, vs. the: United States, from the northern district of Missouri. Blitz was charged with personating another to vote for a Representative in Congress in Kansas City. Jn 1892. with voting in the wrong precinct, and with voting twice. The court held the indictment defective on the first count In not distinctly designating that the election was one for Congress. The sentence of the last court was supended and the case , remanded. ; The court was divided in the case of the' Pullman Palace- Car Company, plaintiff in error, vs. Jeannie Campbell, from the Circuit for the northern district of Iowa. Jeannie Campbell had recovered $11,000 damages from the car company for having suffered violence from a Pullman car pcrter on a train. The Judgment is affirmed, with interest Owing to the great pressure of business the Supreme Court was not able to hand down all Its decisions to-day. The Indiana tax cases are among those postponed. An adjournment was accordingly had until May 14, when opinions will be rendered, and. If necessary, a further adjournment, will then b2 taken to May 21 for Jhe same purpose. Ponfnl Card Too Smooth. WASHINGTON. April 30. Complaints of Inferiority of the postal cards now In use have reached the Postofllce Department during the past few ?veeks. The number, however, is declared to be small, compared to the number received during former periods of similar length. The dissatisfaction is caused by the alleged excessively smooth quality of the cards, frequently resulting In Illegible handwriting. Slow with Appropriation Bills. WASHINGTON. April 30. But two months remain before the new fiscal year begins, yet not one of the fourteen annual appropriation blllo have passed both houses of Congress. Generul Xoten. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, April 30.-A telegram was received here to-day for Representative Martin, announcing the death of his father, John Martin, at his home in Whitestown, Butler county, Pennsylvania. Mr. Homer Martin, the Congressman's brother, left at once for Whitestown. Representative Martin is believed to be In Indianapolis on his way to his home in Bluff ton. Mr. Howard Duffy, of Columbus, Representative Cooprr's brother-in-law, is here on his way to New York. James B. Hanna, of Crawfordsvllle, has been promoted from copyist to special examiner In the Pension Office at $1,300 per annum.. He has been detailed to Cincinnati, whither he .starts to-morrow. Mr. Hanna came here about two months ago, and was appointed a copyist under civil-service rules, lie is a son of the late Hon. Bayliss W. Hanna. United States minister to the Argentine Republic under Cleveland's first administration. SUPT. CIIAKLTON'S REPORT. Interesting Figures from the Reform School at riainfield. Superintendent T. J.

Peter Grarhling died at his residence, 500 North Delaware street, late yesterday afternoon, rather unexpectedly. He had been sick with pneumonia for three or four weeks, but had recovered, and for a week or more had been attending to his business, when he was again taken sick, and died after only a few days' confinement in the house. Mr. Gramling was born Oct. 14, 1S29, in Scheppenback, near Aschafenburg, In Bavaria. He came to this country in 1S40. and went direct to Covington. Ky. In 1853. at the age of twenty-three, he married Miss Caroline M. Schering, of Covington. He came to this city in 1854. and immediately went into the clothing business with his brother, under the firm name of J. & P. Gramling, on the corner of Meridian and Washington streets, where the Blackford Block now stands. After staying there a few years the firm moved to the old Sharpe and Yandls Block, where the Ingalls Block now stands. In 1SC5 they again moved, this time Into the place at No. 35 East Washington street, which they have occupied ever since. In 1S79 J. Gramling withdrew from the firm, and for a few years Peter Gramling conducted the business alone and then took his sons in with him, and since then the firm has been P. Gramling & Sons. Mr. Gramling was a member of the Board of Trade, and for twenty-five years has been a trustee and leading member of St. Mary's Church. He was known as a man who always treated everyone honestly In business dealings. KNIFING EACH OTHER Democratic Candidates at West Indianapolis Are at War. Hiring Negroes to Keep Away from the Tolls Gamblers Supporting: the Carson Ticket. The first city election will be held today, after the most active campaign ever known In that suburb. The Republicans, though accused of being divided, have been working harmoniously "and with zeal for their ticket, which is as follow: Mayor A. B. Tolin. Clerk Oliver E. Williamson. Treasurer Walter S. Hoss. Marshal Thomas Perry. Councllmen for the First ward, Joseph C. McCain and William II. Wheeler; for the second ward, John D. Gish and William F. Wantland; for the third ward, T. V. Alsop and John F. Henschen. The difference In the two party organizations is very great. The Democrats are working In a loose manner.al though, as they claim, with great enthusiasm. On the other hand, the Itepublicans were never better organized. The committees of the latter party sized up the party's strength In the campaign. The Democrats, each night, have been holding secret sessions at their headquarters on South William street, but they did not follow out the usual formalities of a meeting. The "heelers" and the "push" sat around in chilly knots and discussed the prospects for defeat. Friday night's session was one never to be forgotten by the local Democracy. Otto Kelpln, a committeeman In the Seventh precinct, and Sam French, who ran for town clerk on the Democratic ticket two years ago and was defeated, had hot words over the knifing of Henry Hagerdorn, the Democratic candidate for treasurer. The party has made open statements and the "heelers" have given orders to the effect that votes for Losh, candidate for clerk, and for Hagerdorn must be traded oft for votes for Carson, candidate for Mayor and Schafer, candidate for marshal, at any price. If five votes for the former two had to be sacrificed for one vote for the latter, the committee ordered that lit be done. The friends of Carson are not backward in stating that "anything for Carson" will be the cry of the Democracy In the cyontest to-day. Keipm, who, like Hagerdorn, is a German 'resented the kniting of his countryman. He said that one candidate was as good as another, and each ought to be given the same showing as the other. French took up the argument and the scene became exciting. Kelpin, who was looking over some committee books, slammed thera shut and said: "I'll be hanged if this suits me," and followed up this by intimating that he didn't care whether he remained with the party any longer. French tken signified his intention of demolishing Kelpin, when "Brother" Carson, as his friends are fond of calling him, and who was talking to some friends in another part of the room, rushed between the two and threw his hands up and said: "For -God's sake, gentlemen, stop. You will unearth all our efforts; and don't. let this get out." His interference had the desired effect for the time being, each man seeking a quiet corner and remaining there the rest of the session. Hagerdorn's friends are saying that they intend to see that their man is not sacrificed. Said one of the Hagerdornites, yesterday: "What do they take us for? Wasn't Henry (Hagerdorn) nominated just the same as the rest of the ticket? There are two sides to everything. If they go to knifing us, why two can play at that game. We number a few and why can't we do a little knifing ourselves?'' . Every campaign It Is the custom of the Democrats to dicker with the colored voters of the Second ward. The Democratic "heelers" stated positively yesterday that twenty of them were In tow. For the sum of $100, so it is reported, a number have agreed to remain away from the pool3 today. It was first attempted to get the colored voters to sign a contract, wnereby, receiving the $100, thye should go fishing early In the morning, before the polls were opened, and not to return until after G o'clock, when the polls would be closed. To this none of them would agree. They stated that If they could not be trusted they would hear nothing further from the Democrats, and the latter, in sheer desperation, dropj?d this and agreed to pay the money and allow the men to remain in the city on promises to stay away from the polls and not vote. While this negotiation was on hand one of the well-known colored citizens received a suit o'.t clothes of a much better quality than he had been accustomed to wearing. The colored man was seen at the Republican meeting at Spencer's Opera House, last night, and he emphatically stated that he intended to vote for Tolln; At the committee meetings this has been the ouestlon most discussed. At last night's Democratic meeting Dr. Carson stated to a number of friends who were encircled around him that eighteen of the twenty negroes would vote for him. The Republican committee of the Second ward, however, have seen some of the men in question personally and they have stated that they are simply playing the Democrats for money and clothes. W. J. Shlnn, who has worn himself out with a number of the fair-minded Democrats on account of his attempting to squeeze himself in at every ofiice, said at the meeting: "Oh. well, my friends, we have got a cinch on electing Tom Elliott in the First ward. Why. torday we got eighteen itepublicans to promise to vote for Klllott. This, of course, means a scratched ticket, and you know what that means." The purpose of the Democrats to get Republicans to scratch thetr tttpubllcan tickets Is at once evident. There are two ballots to be prepared. One for the short term and one for the long term. If a voter desires to scratch a ticket he must stamp his preferred candidates on both tickets. This is something new in West Indlanapo lis elections, and the chances are that a number of the voters will forget to stamp both .tickets, and. of course, the ballot wh; be thrown out. The Democrats think by getting the Itepublicans to scratch the odds will be in favor of the voter forgetting to stamp correctly, and the vote will be lost to the Republicans. There ars any number of sore Individuals among the Democrats. "Squire" Allen, though working for the ticket. Is very Indignan. at Otto Kelpin. who created the scene with Sim French. The " 'Squire" stated yesterday that he would be willing to give $1J to get Kelpin out of the party, and this means a good deal from him. "Tom Tageart spent Sunday with us," said one of the "push" yesterday. "Yoj see we have been mixed up a little bit and I we needed his light-fingered ways to straighten us out, but I don't know I hardI ly think he was equal to the occasion." ; Charles Polster, a relict of the late Sulllvan campaign, visited West Indlan.ipoli3 yesterday and saw Dr. Carson in person.

I n n 1 ....... rAiinrtl1min T.nn 1 was also seen in close conversation witn Dr. Carson. He will also be on hand to use his Influence among his friends, who are said to be in no groat humor toward Carson. J. F. Henschen. Republican candidate for councilman in the Third ward, is making a strong race. The ward is usually Democratic, but on account of Henschen's hustling and the knifing of Hagerdorn, who resides in . this ward, the Democrats are about ready to state that the election is over in that ward, with Henschen elected. Another fact that leads Henschen and the Republicans in general to believe that the Democrats will be defeated in the "valley" is that the Democrats are making open statements that they intend to make the fight on the "hill" (Belmont.) There is where the Democrats think that Carson Is strongest, he having lived there during his residence in Wes. Indianapolis. The polls will open at 6 o'clock in the morning and will close promptly at 6 o'clock in the evening. The voting places are as follows: First Ward First precinct. 122 Oliver avenue; second precinct, 54 Marlon avenue; third precinct, 250 River avenue. Second Ward Fourth precinct, 51 Belmont avenue;- fifth precinct, 213 Jlowanl street. Third Ward Sixth precinct, 579 West Morris street; seventh precinct, 592 West Moris street. The house of Andrew Wallace at Ttlver avenue and Morris street is the headquarters of the Republicans, and to-night as soon as the returns are received they will be made public from that point. IIOV. V. D. OWES SPOKE. t lie Addresses n Large Audience at West InilliinnpoIU. The Republicans of West Indianapolis held a large meeting at Spencer's Opera House last night, in spite of the threatening weather. The meeting was called to order by Cy Clark at 8 o'clock, and he reViewed the issues of the local campaign. D. A. Williamson was chosen chairman. State Senator A. W. Wishard spoke in behalf of the State central committee In the absence of Chairman Gowdy, who was to have spoken, but who was prevented by illness in his family. Mr. Wishard advised the people to elect the Republican ticket for the reason that it was the party that was backed up by honesty and integrity. He said that such was the distrust of the Democratic party that If the Democrats were to carry the election to-day West Indianapolis bonds would be hard to bo disposed of at 6 per cent. On the other hand, if the Republicans were successful. It would be an easy matter to dispose of the bonds at 5 per cent. Hon W. D. Owen, candidate for Secretary of State, was greeted with rousing cheers as he was introduced. He said that he had been informed that the West Indianapolis Democrats objected to their opponents bringing in national Issues. "I don't blame them," said Mr. Owen. "They ought to be. Who wouldn't object if they belonged to the Democratic party on account of the disastrous failure in handling the government. It is enough to make any American ashamed." Mr. Owen then, in a manner entirely new to the audience, talked tariff that revealed the weakness of the Democratic posUion. He then told of the unfitness of Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, for that position. "It is a position for a man who understands the Industrial needs of the country," said Mr. Owen. "Instead, they hare a man who knows nothing but Greek and other languages, one who hardly knows what industrial means. If West Indianapolis goes Democratic it means that the city sanctions ail the Idle shops and factories, low wages and barren homes. On the contrary, if It goes Republican it means that the people desire prosperity once more, and intend to so speak at the polls next November. ' Mr. Merrill Moores and others spoke. . THUEW 110?
