cower In the matter of electors and It had po authority to make any promises about the State ticket. Thus these two obstacles, earning to be Insurmountable, were struck at the start, but the subcommittees continued to talk at random most of the afternoon. CONFIRMED BY STATE COMMITTEE. After the members of the Democratic sub committee had rejected the offer of the Populists they, were asked what the best proposition they could make was, and after a. feeble feint at consultation Judge McKutt replied that four electors with the withdrawal of the Populist State ticket was the ve'ry best they could offer. L. W. Hubble quickly retorted that If the Populists could persuade the members of their State ticket to resign they should expect fifteen Bryan and Watson electors. The joint session ended thus unsatisfactorily at 5 o'clock. Without giving the Democrats time to consult further with their leaders the Populist committee of thirteen immediately met and adopted a resolution to nominate a full list of Uryan and Watson electors and proceeded to do it. It did not take long to egree upon the list named above. Then Mr. Padgett, Mr. Fernandes, Mr. Patterson, the Scotiel brothers, Mr. Shephard and others of the Bryan and Sewall crowd started in on their effort to undo the work. Before

aaourning tne committee of thirteen appointed a subcommittee of five without a fusionist on it, which was authorized to can tne committee together again in case tne Democrats should get down off their mgn norse ana offer half the electors without any conditions as to the State ticket or that Sewall should be withdrawn. Seizing upon this, the fusionists begged that we ust or electors snouiti not be given out for publication on the ground that the work might bo undone, and did succeed In hold ing oacK tne list until midniarht The Sta.tft rmiTinltt met rlnrlnv ,f --.-w. ' j - vu ri. i v rnoon and organized Dy electing the fol lowing omcers: Chairman Julius Rosenheimer, of Center, Secretary H. D. Craig, of Rennselaer. Assistant Secretary Charles X. Mat xnews, or Indianapolis. Treasurer J. H. Allen, of Terre. HantA. Tho State committee met aeain after sun per in Room 35, Hotel Knglish, with half a uozen memoers or tne committee of thirteen present. The local push also crowded In and participated so actively In the proeeedings at the start that thev earn nrettv nearly carrvine thincrs. T.ert PortK xney wanted to upset tne work of the com mlttee of thirteen, and were unwise enough to talk about "mysterious influences.' This Insinuation was strongly resented, and resulted in confining the further oroceerHncrs to members of the State committee. After tnis was done the State committee, by a unanimous vote. Indorsed the action of tne committee or thirteen, and gave it a vote of thanks. The rest of the session of the orate committee, which adjourned at midnignt, was given up to a discussion of iretnoos or organization. Great satisfaction over the work of the ay was expressed by Paul Vandervoort. Thomas Wadsworth and other prominent jToouiisis wno naa come to look on. Chairman Martin has called the Democratic State committee to meet to-day to .ntny me action or its subcommittee. It was expected that fusion wpuld be, agreed upon and the purpose of the committee meeting was to ratify the fusion. Since it did not take place, the Democratic committee will not have much to do unless it feels in the mood to offer the Populists something much bigger than It has yet dreamed of offering. It is not likely to do iiia, it me general disgust expressed by jjemwrdis last nignt is any indication. Whn Frank Burke was told or the nrntm. eltlon made by the Populists he swelled up !With indignation and cried: "Wasn't there eny Democrat there to tell them to g"o to h 1?" When told that it Jiad fallen! to the lot of the Populists to get the sfirst cnance to make this remark, his disgust Visibly increased. The thing that grinds is tnat tne fopunsts, having their full com mittee on the ground, were able to take quick action in kicking over the fusion Butler Not a Good Populist. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Senator Butler aid to-day that the movement to secure fusion between the Democrats and Populists on electors and Congressmen in the various States was making satisfactory progress. He Instanced the fact that an agreement on lectors had been reached in Missouri, and said that negotiations were in progressfor an understanding on Con gressmen 111 the same Ktnte In Trxlicina he said, there had already been a union of the twojforces cn Congressmen in two of the districts, and he was led to believe that a similar understanding would be arrived at throughout the State. The committees Of'-ihe two parties are now in session in Indianapolis consulting upon a basis of fusion on electors, and the Senator expressed the opinion that they would reach an equitable agreement. He expressed the opinion that the Populists would be given -four or five of the electors, and that the coalition would make Indiana safe for isryan. THE NATIONAL PROHIS bxpect to Poll Three-Fourth of the Colil-AVater Vote. The Prohibition State committee, that is to say, the State organization of the "Na tional" branch, met yesterday afternoon at the Hotel English. Right around the cor ner, under the same roof, the State Liquor League was in session and in another room the subcommittee of the Populist and Popocratic State organizations were in con ference, trying to patch up a fusion on the electoral ticket. There were eight mem bers of the National State committee pres ent and the conference had been called to look over the State of the organization in Indiana, size up the prospects and prepare lor getting the ticket upon the ballot sheet. Though thistbranch expects to poll threefcurths of the Prohibition votes cast in 3S94, being a split frqm the regular conven tion at t'ittsburg, it goes under a new name and has to present Its ticket by peti tion, signed by at least 500 voters. The pe titions have just been put Into circulation ana will be ready in time. J. H. Dunlap, of Franklin, chairman of the State committee, said: "Nearly all of tne .frohibltion ticket stayed with us and. Judging from the position of the country organizations throughout the state, I nhould say that fully 75 per cent, of the Prohibition vote cast In 1SS4 has eome over with up. And we shall hold them. too. There Is nothing in the theory advanced by the politicians of the older parties that our organization has gone to pieces and that our people will line up with the oluer parties on the money issue. Our organization is In fairly good shape throughout the State, and we shall be able to . hold our own all right." obituary: Enoch Pratt, the Millionaire Banker and Philanthropist.

CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA A STEADILY INCREASING TIDE TOWARD SOUND MONEY. Governor Matthews's Fall and Dis appointment Farmers and Worki n men Becoming; Enlightened. Indianapolis Letter in New York Post. The most bitterly disappointed man in American politics to-day is probably Claude Matthews, of Indiana. Other public men have had their ups and downs this year, but for most of them there is still a future; for Matthews it is impossible to see one. A year ago he was regarded as one of the handful of ambitious Democrats who had a pretty fair chance of succeeding Cleveland in the White House. His appartnt soundness on the money question, while other prominent politicians of his own faith were falling away; his splendid stand as Governor for the support of the President during the railroad riots, while Altgeld in the neighbor State of Illinois was ranting and foaming at the "federal usurpation" which alone seemed capable of stopping bloodshed and rapine; and his acts and associations generally were so eminently respectable that a great many shrewd men in the West looked up to him as one of the heirs-at-law of a national administraiton conspicuous for its intelli gence, its rare instinct of patriotism, and its firmness in right-doing against fearful odds and in the face of persistent misrepresentation. But the stDry of Matthews was the story of Hill retold. Trying to tread in footprints too large for him, he presently lost patience because the goal seemed still so very far off, and. when the Populistic folly at Chicago appeared to offer a short cut, he was tempted beyond his strength and took it. The result which followed was inevitable. In the oath of rectitude he had found few competitors; the path of folly was crowded, and by many contestants more skillful than himself. He was quickly worsted in the unequal struggle, and to-day, soured and disgusted, dropped by his old friends and distrusted by his new associates, with a blot upon his record which no lapse of time can efface, he is passing ingloriously off the stage of national affairs and preparing to take his place permanently among the leckers-on in the gallery. Comment on Matthews at the recent convention In ..his city indicated that if he had stuck to his post as a sound financier and a lover of law and order, he would have been a formidable candidate for the head of the third ticket: and a man of his years as well as his career would have stood in the lead among the candidates of 1900. when the National Democratic party becomes the only Democratic party, and the traitors and mountebanks who wrecked the old organization at Chicago are ordered to the rear once more. Perhaps, on the whole, it is fortunate that Matthews let the country into the secret of his cloven hoof as early as he did. It is now possible to regard his imputed virtues as a mere veneer, and his further elevation as a peril happily escaped. A man with so large a faculty for time-serving" and so sad a la.ek of backbone can do less harm in. private life than in the federal executive chair, and the higher walks of politics are well rid of him before he has had a chance to do any serious mischief. It was Mr. Matthews's bad luck to be a figurehead in politics and put. to the test it the very ouiret of the trouble. Other '"'ana jJemoTats. of less eminence, nere able to wait till the air .v:ts somewhat clearer. Then they began to drop out from ueiiuiu mm ana go over to the soundmoney side. The defections reached into the State committee, the county committees, even into the electoral ticket itself. The whole Democratic organization in Indiana, in short, has become honeycombed. Some of its most influential members have stepped bodly out ; others remain in on the theory that the sane owe something to the insane, and that the best way of discharging the obligation is to stuv with them in their wanderings and try to lead them back when the next lucid interval occurs. WILL COME INTO LINE. It must not be assumed that the Democrats are the only sufferers from the battle of the standards this season. The Republican farming districts have been infected to some extent, and here and there are found Republican farmers who say that they are going to change their allegiance this year by way of an experiment. The largest element of these is in the southern end of the State. Experience of former years of upheaval leads to the belief that a good many of these men will relieve their minds with the talk they are now doing and swing into line again before election day. Others, who are more quiet, but have both eyes and ears open for all they can read or hear on the money question, will go to the polls with a more intelligent judgment of its merits than they are now able to form. In the cities and towns sound money is more than holding its own. The working men, at first caught by the glamor of the idea of voting for a "poor man's candidate," have, generally settled down to a common-sense view of their own interest in a stable currency. A tremendous vote tor McKinley or Falmer will come from this source. As a straw may be cited the case of one large factory in this city, at which, before the present business depres sion oegan, eignt nunorea hands were steadily employed, but where work is now kept going with five hundred, divided into two shifts, alternating at half time, so that what labor and pay there are may be made to go as far as possible. These poor fellows would have a right, of any one has. to feel discouraged over existing conditions and disposed to vote for a "change" without close discrimination as to the sort of change involved. So far from yielding to this impulse, they took a poll among themselves a few days ago, which shows that every one of them. Democrats as well as Republicans, will vote against Brvan. The railroad men everywhere in this neighborhood are organizing meetings among themselves and inviting sound-money speakers to address them. So strong a set is there in the right direction hereabouts, indeed, that conservative estimates give Marion county to the Republicans by from 5,000 to 6,000 plurality, though it is nominally Democratic by from 1,000 to 1,500. Two citizens of Indianapolis are in especial demand as speakers at meetings outside. One of these is John Griffiths, who is an orator in the rhetorical sense and whose work among the farmers In the northern part of the State has been so notable that he commands audiences of three and even five thousand people. Another, Lucius B. Swift, more widely known throughout the United States as editor of the Civil-service Chronicle, is a speaker of a very different sort. He has no flights of fancy; he simply talks to his audiences, substantially in the same tcno and manner as he would talk to a gathering of friends in his own library, but he prepares himself with authorities for every statement he makes, so that to question his facts or figures is like inviting a broadside from an old-fashioned threedecker. Mr. Swift has more d inlands upon him that he can begin to meet, but he still indulges himself in the uncommon luxury of paying his own expenses, as the work he does is purely a laoor or love and patriot ism, and ne prerers to emphasize its entire divorcement from party interest. It makes no difference to him under what party auspices he speaks; his speeches are wholly nonpartisan in the broader sense, no candidate's name being mentioned except incidentally cr where, for any reason, he tells his audience which ticket he personally expects to vote. The Independent fashion in which he has for years been In the habit of voting and the frank way in which he speaks his mind on all occasions when his views of individual duty are well defined has given a good deal of weight to any statement he makes to the farmers anil workingmen; to whom he Is sometimes introduced as "a man without a party" a curiosity in this politics-ridden State.

taken hold of the canvass among them, and organized clubs throughout the State. One of these is John Frenzel, a leading banker and general financier. He is a Democrat of the most extreme school and a great believer in party discipline; but no sooner had the Chicago hippuuromo declared itself than he came out with a flat-footed denunciation of the wnole Dullness as a fraud and a disgrace to the honored name of Democracy. He took a prominent part in furthering the third ticket movement, and was conspicuous in the councils of the recent National Democratic convention. The German Democrats responded with spirit to his call for volunteers to keep trie old party true to its traditions. The other German of note who is making his inlluence felt in this campaign is Herman Lieber, a leading art merchant of Indianapolis, and one or the most publicspirited citizens. He has always been an independent in politics, and the fifty or sixty artisans in his establishment nave been encouraged by him at all times to vote freely, according to tiie dictates of their consciences, and irrespective of any knowledge they might gain of his own preferences. This sort of reputation, spreading through the State, has well prepared the way for his work as president of the German Sound-money League, in forming nonpartisan sound-money clubs. These organizations do not pledge their members to the support of any particular ticket, but merely to resist the repudiation and anarchistic movement in our politics. Democrats and Republicans are meeting on common ground in the clubs and getting ready to deal Bryanism its death-blow in Indiana, Every workman in Air. Lieber s employ has his name on one of the rolls, and without solicitation or pressure. burveying the German element in the State as a whole, the best estimates indi cate that about SO per cent, voted for Cleveland, including both Democrats and Independents, and these are substantially a unit against iiryan in the cominer elec tion. The legislative fight is a center of interest in Indiana this year. The best people of the State feel outraged at the way they are not only unrepresented, but misrepresented in the Senate. They look forward Impatiently to the chance they will soon have to dump Voorhees and put some one in his place who will cut a respectable figure. The two Republiean aspirants are Riley McKeen and C. V. Fairbanks. Both are known as railroad men. anrl the ran'ir and file of the party would prefer a Sena .'or who is not tied upwith corporations. Fairbanks, who gained some advantage over his rival through Mark Hanna's making him chairman of the St. .Louis convention, is a politician of narrow scone hut con siderable shrewdness. j He is one of the sort of leaders who build up a personal followine- hv the nhori i of money, not in the wav of eorninti nr voieis. nut in unsolicited contributions to tne campaign funds of candidates who aro engaged in uphill struggles, and who bid iair to mane uscrui lieutenants at a later stage. He has been considerably strengthened in his canvass, also, by the kind offices Of the News, which is a verv rermtnh'o and influential newspaper and independent of party attachments, but whose late controlling spirit. William Henry Smith, was a kinsman of Fairbanks. Althouerh every nrosneet Indian h.w Populism, both in its own character and in tne tnin cusgjtse of Bryan Democracy, will be killed and buried in Indiana if the tide continues to set in the same direction as at present, yet it would be worse than foolish to consider the battle already won and relax any of the efforts now making. The State is still an open field, and wiM continue to be such down to the hour of closing the polls on Nov. 3. Monev is needed here, for it costs a good deal to"run a campaign even in communities where publicspirited citizens are giving their time and energies freely to the cause and paving their own way besides. From this time forth more is to he feared from the' overconrideriee of the friends of sound money than from the assaults of its enemies. Let the Eastern men who have the means run their hands down into their pockets once more and keep the good work stirred up.
