TALKED TO POPULISTS

BRYAX TAKES A HAND IX THE EFFORT TO COMPLETE THE Fl'SIOX. Received the Caniliilntes on the Populist State Ticket After He Had Gone to Red liUst Aiglit. HAD NO TIME FOR DEMOCRATS HOPED POPCLISTS "WOULD FIND A BASIS OF INIOX. iMat Desperate Effort to Dislodge the State Ticket and Finish the Fusion Deal. Tho only delegation Mr; Bryan received while in the city was one that called upon him at 10 o clock last evening, after he had gono to bed. It was composed of the can didates upon the Populist State ticket and a few members of the Populist State com mittee. He had consented to see them because the Populist State ticket stands in the way of complete fusion in Indiana Mr. Bryan shook hands with each one of them and said that the work of fusion be tween the two great parties was begun at St. Louis and had been completed satisfactorily in every State where it was a matter of importance, except Indiana. While he did not know anything of the details of the situation in this State, he sincerely hoped that nothing would be permitted to stand in the way of complete unity and harn ony among the forces engaged in the battle of the people against the gold-standard policy, the trusts, syndicates and money lenders of Wall street. The conference only lasted fifteen minutes, and Mr. Bryan was left to sleep, while the Populists retired for a brief conference with Chairman Martin, of the silver Democratic State com mittee. They made Mr. Martin no further promises than that they would confer among themselves to-day and then say definitely whether they would withdraw the State ticket. - ', Ever since the sell-out of the committee of thirteen on Sept. 29, A. J. Padgett, of Washington, the man who, two months ago, agreed to engineer this whole business for the Popocratic State committee, has been working hard to get the Populist State ticket out of the way. He conceived the idea that it would be an excellent thing to have the State candidates here yesterday so that they might be impressed with the magnitude of the Bryan demonstration. Accordingly Juli is Rosenheier, chairman of the Populist State committee, called together the State executive committee and candidates on the State ticket at the English Hotel. M. C. Rankin, treasurer of the Populist national committee, was present and did most of the talking in the effort to persuade the candidates to withdraw. He explained that the Democrats were unwilling to take down any of their electors so long as the Populist State ticket remained in the field, but that if it was withdrawn he had assurances that five of the Bryan electors would make way for as many straight Populists.- He called attention to the fact that there was practically nothing left of the Populist party in Indiana anyhow . and declared that 90 per cent, of the following they had two years ago would vote for Bryan and Sewall electors and the Democratic State ticket. The five or six State candidates present were unwilling to withdraw and talk- d rather sharply to Mr. Rankin, telling him that he and a few others in their anxiety for fusion had been responsible for the dissipation of the Populist strength. After a while Rankin took a threatening turn and declared that not a cent of money should be furnished for a campaign in Indiana and if the State candidates wanted to remain upon the ticket they would have to pay -all the expenses of their campaign. Then he further declared and in his statement he was backed by Chairman Rosenhe imer that the State committee would not certify to the nominations. The candidates replied that it was not the province of the State committee to certify to these nominations anyway, as it was the business of the chairman and secretary of the State convention to do so. Thus matters stood when the conference adjourned at noon to meet again in the evening. Seeing that Mr. Rankin wai unable to impress the candidates. Mr. Paderett struck the plan of having them call upon Bryan. He communicated this idea to Chairman Martin and Allen W. Clark, "king of all the push." and these two gentlemen broached the matter to the candidate. Vhilo ho had no time to receive and shake hands with Democrats, who were for him anyhow, he readily consented to see the Populists and make the kind of a talk to them that was asked of him. Therefore. as soon as he reached the Grand Hotel afte' the night meeting it was given out that he had retired to bed and the corridor was cleared and all other deleratkns denied admission. The big crcwd down in the lobby was nownng useii noarse to see uryan, tnd delegation after delegation from other cities found the door closed against them. This was the condition of affairs at 10 o clock when the Populist State candidates, led by Padgett and Rankin, and accompanied by W. P. Smith and L. W. Hubbell. came upstairs. A moment later Mayor Taggart appeared and led them into Bry. ah's room. Another delegation, composed of Bryan Democrats, tried to break in at the same time, but they vcre shut out and told that Mr. Bryan would be unable to son them. The Populists were in the room fif teen minutes, and what transpired there. as told above, was reported by one of the candidates when they came out to a Jourral reporter waiting in the corridor. The Populists then cooled their heels half an hour in front cf Chairman M.irtin's door before they were admitted for n talk with him. When he admitted them Mr. Martin was very brief with them, in fact, almost brusque. He believes the only way to handle Populists is to do it with a club. He told them that there would be no further fusion nor acceptance of the fusion ticket put out by their committee of thirteen un til the State ticket came down, and that was all there was to it. The Populists re. tired, saying they would confer this morning and give a definite answer then. Hon. J. Li. Griffiths at Louisville. Hon. J. L. Griffiths, pf this city, delivered a speech at Louisville Monday night, and the Commercial of Tuesday said: "Mr. Griffiths Impressed himself upon his attentive audience as an able and powerful orator worthy to take rank with some of our national speakers. Throughout his address he held the closest attention of his auditors, and was frequently compelled to stop while the crowd cheered some telling climax or witticism." The Courier-Journal said of Mr. Grifftths's sneech: "The crowd fairly let itself loose when Hon. John L. Griffiths was introduced. Mr. Griffiths is short and fat, and seemingly about forty years of age. In spite of his avoirdupois, however, he. is very active, has a clear, strong voice and speaks with much grace and ease. Time alter time he brought forth cheer after cheer irora his audience, and when the meeting broke up with three cheers and a tiger for McKlnley. the general opinion was that the best Republican speech by far of the campaign in Louisville had just been delivered." Count Committee MeetiitR. The members of the Marion county Re publican committee held a'meeting yester day In the Criminal Court room on the call of several members. The object of the meeting was stated to be to get the members together to consider the political situation and to take action on such things as required action. It was then stated that Chairman Young had called a meeting of the committee for next Saturday, to be held in the Republican Commercial Travelers' Club rooms at 2 o'clock. On motion of Fred Joss, the meeting adjourned and the matters that were to be discussed will come up next Saturday. The Noon-Day Meetlnnr. Another large crowd attended the Citizens' Sound-money League's noon-day meeting at 18 and 20 North Meridian street yesterday. W. II. II. Miller and R. O. Haw-

kins were the speakers. Both spoke chiefly of the money question. Mr. Miller is a very forcible talker and never fails to back up his assertions with arguments to prove them. He showed the fallacy of attempting to make a 50-cent dollar pass with a 100-cent dollar, and proved that it would not do so. These meetings will be contin

ued until the Saturday before the election. The Woodruff-Place Poll. A Republican living in Woodruff Placv said last evening that the gentleman poll ing that precinct for the Democrats got but little satisfaction. In 1S94 tne Woodruff precinct was carried by the Republicans with a majority of twelve; now, with ninety-five voters, all but four have declared their intention of voting for McKinley this year. Poll of the Medical Students. The students of the medical department of the University of Indianapolis refute the statement made in the Sentinel yesterday morning and challenge that pa per to rtispute the following poll, whjch was made of the students: McKinley. 131; Bryan, 37; Palmer, 8; Prohibition, 2, doubtful, 6. Marlon Club's Flag:. This morning the Marion Club will place a large flag across the street in front of the clubhouse with a McKinley streamer on the bottom. It is about thirty feet long. The flag is the gift of friends of tne duo and the club members want to thank those who donated it for their kindness. Soldiers Meeting:. McKinley Camp No. 1 of soldiers, sailors and their sons will hold it$ weekly meeting to-night at the Sound-money League Hall, 13 and 20 North Meridian street. Addresses will be delivered by State Chairman Gowdy. R. O. Hawkins, Captain Eli Ritter and others. Army songs will be sung. Polttiral Notes. William V. Allen, Senator from Nebraska, will speak at Tomlinson Hall Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. Smiley"N. Chambers and Martin Hugg will address the Jesse Overstreet Republican Club at the corner of Indiana avenue and California street to-night. Among the curious visitors who were in town yesterday to catch a view of the Boy Phenomenon were C. It. Higgins, of Fort Wayne, chairman of the Aden county Republican committee, and Fred Helling, jr.. and Wiliiam Goodfeilow, also of Fort Wayne. NO TRACE OF MRS. GARVER. A New Method Devised for Dragging the River for the Body. Mrs. Philip Garver, who disappeared from her home In Haughville last Sunday, has not yet been found and the river is still telng drtgged in hopes of finding her body. Mr. Garver and other searchers were out at daylight yesterday morning, and, despite the rain, continued to drag the river until the night forced them to cease their labor. The searchers adopted a new method yesterday and now have a cable stretched across the river to enable them to hold the boat in position while they drag every foot of the bottom. A new drag has been deised. which, in form, resembles a rake, but in place of prongs, stoat wires, to which are attached drag hooks, are fastened to the bar at the end, and with this the bottom is being thoroughly examined. The senrchers began with the cable stretched across at the bridge, and each time they finish a search from bank to bank along this cable line, it is moved a boat's length further down the river and is now located about 250 feet from the bridge. The husband and re atives say that they will spare no expense in their endeavor to find her or her body. Mr. Garver has turned the saloon over to Mr. Wolf, its former proprietor, and the boarding house to another party until such a time as he has definitely finished his search for his missing wife. K. AND L. OF H. Eighteenth Annual State Meeting; of This Insurance Society. The eighteenth annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Indiana of the Knights and Ladies of Honor is now being held in Odd Fellows Hall at Pennsylvania, and Washington streets. Sessions were held yesterday morning and afternoon, during which the reports of committees and officers wera heard and there were passed some unimportant rules concerning the government of subordinate lodges. Nearly all the grand officers are In attendance. Dr. W. R. Francis, of Marlon, is grand protector; A. S. Lane, of Viri ennes. grand secretary, ana J. T. H. Miller, of Terre Haute, grand treasurer. To-uay wid'oucur the election of new grand officers and of represtntativts to the supreme lodge, wnich wnl meet in Detroit in September. 1897. The order has about 84.0UU members in the United States, about 5.000 of whom are in Indiana. There are in this city twelve lodges, the membership of which is about 1.200.. Last night the local lodges joined in entertaining the visitors at the Odd Fellows lodge room. Pleasant Lodge of Brightwood gave an exemplification of the degree work and there were speeches and refreshments. Clalmed He Used a Loaded Cane. Conrad Schnellschmidt, of 1145 North Pennsylvania street, was arrested yesterday on a charge of assault and battery upon Alfred Houton, of 338 East New York street. Houton, in securing the warrant for Schnellschmidt's arrest, exhibited sev-, eral bad wounds in the head, which he said were made with a loaded cane in the hands of Schnellschmidt. v The trouble between the two men seems to have grown out of a debt which Houton owed Schnellschmidt's son. Schnellschmidt went out to Houion's house alter it and had some words with Mrs. Houton. Houton says that when Schnellschmidt returned later he took him to task about what he said to Mrs. Houton and that Schnellschmidt became enraged and swore he would kill the whole fam ily, ana tnen occurred the assault. Schnell schmidt was arrested by patrolmen Wal lace ana uapnnger. Motor Fell on His Leg. William Graper, aged thirtysix, living in Haughville, met an accident at the BrownKetcham iron works in that suburb at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon which resulted in the compound fracture of his right leg. He was attempting to place a belt on the fly-wheel of an electric motor, which was on a scaffold above his head, when the belt suddenly caught, taking up the sltck witn a jerk that pulled the motor from the scaffold. In falling it struck him on the leg. ne was taken to fat. Vincent s Hospital suffering intense pain. Dr. Marsee was summoned and it was found necessary to remove about two inches of bone from the wounded limb. During the operation Graper groaned with the intense pain, but was soon relieved by anesthetics and went to sleep. It will be some time before Graper can walk. SchoolhouMe Defects. At a meeting of the Sanitary Association yesterday special approval was given to the plan of the School Board to erect a onestory building in North Indianapolis. Attention was called to the location of the water closets for the school. At No. 32 on Illinois and Twenty-first streets, when the windows are open to the west, the prevailing west winds fill the school rooms on that side with disagreeable odors from the closets not far irom the building. The newer buildings show more attention to sanitary laws. Democrats Steal the Flag;. A flag inscribed "McKinley and Hobart" was stretched across Market street from the Coffin to the Thorpe block Monday evening. Tuesday morning it had mysteriously disappeared and it is supposed that some Democrats confiscated it. so that Bryan would not have to pass under it en route to Tomlinson Hall. National's Legislative Committee. A call has been issued by Allen W. Conduitt. chairman of the county committee of the national Democratic party, for the assemblage of Marion county Democrats at Cyclorama Hall Friday evening to nominate two Senators and five Representatives for the next General Assembly.

THE CROWDS DIDNTC0ME

ONLY ONE-FIFTH OF VISITORS ANTICIPATED BY THE SENTINEL. Maximum Estimate of Station Em jtloyen, 20,000 Railroads Didn't Do the Business They Expected. The Sentinel stated yesterday morning, basing' its figures on the expectations of the Bryan managers, that there would be 100,000 visitors in the city yesterday, and indeed it seemed Monday as if the estimate might be correct, considering the wideadvertising given to Bryan's four speeches in this city. The expectations of the managers, however,- overshot the mark, for the highest estimate placed on the size of the visiting crowd by Union Station employes was 20,000, just one-fifth the number in the Sentinel's estimate. Figures are given to corroborate this maximum estimate of 20,000. On the special trains there were 107 coaches and on the regular traini:! several extra coaches each, making in the aggregate 230 coaches above the ordinary number that come Into the city. Estimating seventy persons to a coach (the seating capacity of coaches averages fifty-four), on the regular trains and the special trains it would be difficult to get the number over 20,000. More conservative estimates would make the total number 17,000. The Lake Erie & Western brought in the greatest number, having seven trains in during the forenoon. The J., M. & I. made preparations for a large crowd, but the officials were disappointed. The Vandalia, the C, H. & D. and the Big Four lines all prepared to handle a much larger business than they secured. The Bryan managers contracted for forty cars on the P. & E., guaranteeing one hundred passengers to the car, the excursion to be run from all points on the line as far west as Peoria. Despite the guarantee of the Bryan managers only eight cars were used by them, with a total of 653 people for these eight cars. Although it was a Bryan excursion a poll of the train showed the following: Bryan 4'35. McKinley 139, soundmoney Democrats 29. A poll on one cf the L. E. & W. specials in the morning showed 114 for Bryan. 87 for McKinley. 6 doubtful and 7 Prohibitionists. A good many free tickets were distributed by the Bryan managers along the I. & V. road and yet a poll on the morning train showed 293 for Bryan and 103 for McKinley. GREELEY'S MEETING IN 1S72 Surpassed Yesterday's Affair Both In Numbers and Enthusiasm. "Go and look at the files of the papers for accounts of the Greeley meeting held in Indianapolis let me see about Sept. 20, 1872, and thee you will see the account cf the greatest political turnout ever seen in Indiana up to that date." Thus spoke one of the older citizens. His advice was taken. The files of the Journal were first examined. It was content to say that Jt was a big crowd, devoting the rest of the report to what Mr. Greeley and Mr. Voorhees said. A picture of Horace Greiley, ?. cartoon of Nast's, headeel the Journal's account. The Sentinel was next consumed. It was before the days of the headline artist, or the headline monstrosity. But the Sentinel had a third of a column of them, among which were the followirg: "The Largest Political Meeting Ever Held In the State;" "Two Miles of Torchlights and Acres of People;" "Voorhees Proposes Three Hoosier Cheers for the Next President." After such headlines the Sentinel proceeds to declare that "Sept. 23, 1872. will long be memorable in the history of Indiana politics; that the meeting was the grandest success that has ever been a.ccomp.ished in Indiana in any campnig-n." Then it proceeds: "It is useless to set down any figures, for anything like an approximate of the real numbers, either in the procession or in tho street or in the Statehouse yard, would seem an exaggeration." The News said that the number of people was larger than any estimate that had be-en made. It was a surprise to everybody. Speaking of the procession, the News said: "When the rear of the column Was still west of Tennessee street, the head of the column had countf-r-marched at east and reached Meridian." It said that "ail alonc the line of march the streets were packed, all shouting for Greeley." The News remarked that "thers was not a negro in the procession to do honor to his long-time champion, Greeley." Both papers were confident that Greeley was certain of an election. The Sentinel declared that "the Republicans felt their defeat in the next election a foregone conclusion." Mr. Greeley said in Cincinnati that he had 50,000 listeners in Indianapolis. He also had immense meetings at every place in the State at which he stopped. On his return to New ork, in a public speech, he declared that the brave and patriotic men of Indiana could not be driven to the support of Grant. Three weeks after this immense demonstration the October election was held in Indiana. Thomas A. Hendricks was the only candidate on the Democratic, or Greeley ticket, who pulled through in the State, ana he by a plurality or l.i-tx votes. Every other Republican candidate on the State ticket was elected by a small plurality. The Republicans carried the leg islature, having twelve majority on joint ballot. General Grant's majority in the State in November was 22.515, against 9,.-S in 1S68. In the State election the Repub licans carried Marion county by i.swm. Those who saw the demonstration of 1S72 and that of yesterday say that the Brvanite performance was a tallow candle compared with the headlight glare of that of Horace Greeley. NOT INDORSE A PARTY. City Liquor Lengne "Will Follow Tack of the State League. Secretary J. Frank Callen, of the City Liquor League, has called a special meett inn- for to-morrow afternoon. The meeting is called for the purpose of determining the course the league shall take in the campaign. The Stcte Liquor League has already decided that it cannot agree to assist any party generally throughout the State; that the interests of the league rest in the election of candidates of different parties in different parts of the State. The State league will therefore lend its aid to candidates rather than to party. In view of this policy of the State league the city league must, if it acts as a league in the campaign, eiecide which party it will support or which candidates. As the repeal of the Nicholson law is the chief aim of the league its greatest efforts as an organization will be devoted to the election of candidates to the legislature who will support an act to repeal the law. As only one of the leading parties has chosen legislative candidates the league will not expect to finally indorse any candidate yet, but it may take steps to secure the nomination of men who will work in the interest of the league. TRITIP0 USED A KNIFE. But He Had Been Knocked Down First by Snyiler. V. E. Tritipo, of Fisher's Station, and William Snyder, of 78 North New Jersey street, were arrested yesterday by patrolmen Boylan and Conklin, the former for assault and battery with intent to kill and the latter for plain assault. The men were In a saloon on North Alabama street, opposite the market square, when they quarreled over some political question. Snyder struck Tritipo between the eyes with his fist and laid him out for a moment. When Tritipo recovered himself he stabbed Snyder with a small knife and ran out the back way, but was captured by some of the witnesses and held until the police arrived. He says he would rather be sent to the penitentiary for a hundred yer-.rs than to have his friends know of his arrest. Tritipo is a brother to the postmaster at Fisher's Station, the man who received an infernal machine through the mails recently. Snyder was not very badly hurt in the fight. No More Ll&ht Artillery Team. Owing to the fact that the Light Artillery football team has now only four or five memlx-rs who are members of the organization a resolution has been passed by the officers prohibiting the further use of the name in connection with the team.

PKICI5 OYD 9 THIEVES FOLLOW BRYAN NOTED CROOKS PICKED IP HERB BY A l'IKERTOX MAX. Pickpocket Abroad in tlie Crowds Yesterday Some Held on Suspicions -Others CnuR-ht in the Act. The police were kept busy yesterday. The large crowds had to be handled, the streets had to be kept clear 'and the police had to watch for the hundreds of crooks who took advantage of the crowds to carry on their work. All the night patroimen and ser geants went on duty at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and were kept constantly busy, with scarcely time to get a little lunch, assisting the day men In the work. The detectives also had their hands full and a number of arrests were made. At the 5:30 roll call, when "all the men met at the police station, there had been but one arrest of a man known to have been here for the purpose of working the crowds, but the men taken in were supposed to be here for that purpose, and their arrest probably resulted in fewer reports of pockets picked during the day. About 3 o'clock J. II. Kendall, of Lindville, went to the police station and reported that he had been robbed somewhere in the Bryan crowd of the morning. He did not know when or exactly where, but was anxious to know if the police knew anything about the case. He said his pocket was picked and his pocketbook taken. The pocketbook, hj said, contained a small amount of money and a return ticket to Lindville. He did not care for the money, but he would like to recover the ticket, as it was the only means he had of getting out of the city. While he was talking, G. P. Rowe, of Central avenue and Twentythird street, came in and made complaint that his pocket had been picked and that the thief had secured about $12. "And, by the way," he said, "here is a pocketbook which was given me by a stranger on the street. I toid the man. that my pocket had been picked and that I was coming to the police station to report it. He gave me this pocketbook. and asked that 1 leave it here. He said he found it and that perhaps it, too, had been stolen." The pocketbook proved to be the one which had been stolen from Mr. Kendall. The money had been taken from it. but his ticket to Lindville was still in it. Mr. Kendall departed, a very much-pleased man. He did not see anything unusual in the proceeding, however, and took the recovery of his pocketbook as a very matter-of-fact affair. . ... Mr. Rowe said he thought he could Identify the man who robbed him. lie did not see the man at work, but said he noticed a well-dressed young man acting suspiciously, and since he missed his pocketbook he had come to the conclusion that he was the man who got it. He so accurately described a man who had boen arrested as a loiterer to detectives Kinney, Richards and Thornton, that the man was brought out and identified. His name is Frank Smith and he lives at Mapleton. Among the others brought in, to be kept out of mischief, were the following: Thomas Hansen, Terre Haute: Maurice O'Conner. Terre Haute, and Thomas Connors, 103 Maple street, arrested by detectives Kinney, Richards and Thornton; Henry Smith, no address, arrested by patrolman Ware; George Thompson, Davenport, la., arrested by patrolman Butcher; James Howard, of Evansville, and David Bradford, of 80 North New Jersey street, arrested by Kinney and Thornton; John Webber, 37 Ashland street. West Indianapolis, arrested by patrolmen Boylan and Conklin; Ernest Creit, of Detroit: Harry Milburn, of Cincinnati, and Harry Whelnor, of Jackson, Mich., arrested by patrolmen Caplinger and Wallace. Caplinger and Wallace were at the police station with bicycles, and acted as a reserve and quick-detail force. They did effective work, arresting several persons who could not have been caught by a slower method. John Webber, the man arrested by Bovlan and Conklin, was on the Bryan train when it arrived in the city, and someone complained that he had attempted to pick a pocket while the crowd was passing through the gate at the Union Station. The officers were close by, and arrested the man before he could get out of the jam of tho crowd. FINE PICKPOCKET TALENT. A PInkerton Man Arrest a Number of tlie Fellow. While there were a number of arrests made yesterday of persons supposed to be professional pickpockets, the best "talent" was that arrested through the aid of Michael Maloney, a PInkerton man, who is traveling with Bryan. He had hardly left the train which brought the Bryan party into the Union station yesterday when he saw a man picking a woman's pocket. He quietly followed the fellow and when he was outside the station, tapped him on tho shoulder and attempted to detain him until he met a policeman. The fellow attempted to run, but Maloney grabbed him by the coat collar and, with the aid of several men. who. hurried up. held him until two patrolmen came up and sent the man to the police station. He proved to be John Weber, of West Indianapolis. Yesterday afternoon and evening Maloney spent his time in the crowds, and in the course of the day caused the arrest of about ten of the "lest" men in the country among the light lingered gentry. They were invariably turned over to the regular police, and when taken to the police station gave fictitious names. Among those arrested were Phillip Trimble, alias "Seas-

The men arrested had nothing on their persons when searched which would tend to incriminate them, but Maloney knows them all well, and is confident they were working hard all day and that complaints will be made to the police as soon as people discover that they were robbed. Goehegan he arrested just as he had ccme out of Tomlinson Hall. Goehegan was . working in there with two men known as Dlce Box" McGuire and "Nobby" Myers, and the detective thought they had given Goehegan several pocketbooks to get rid of. If they did he got rid of them before the detective got to him, for they were not in his possesion when arrested. It required the -assistance of several patrolman to land him, as he fought the detective. Trimble and Copeland were arrested in front of the Grand Hotel and the others were picked up at the Union Station. All except Weber were charged with loitering. Four more supposed pickpockets were landed at the police station late last night. One was a local man of whom nothing is known.
