THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1899

te attempted. Chairman London and Mr. Bookwalter did not hesitate to express their opinion that there was a dark look to the proceeding. Messengers were Immediately sent to-. the mining precincts to obtain the figures. .The councils of both parties "were decidedly panicky during the night and the fits of gloom would strike each side simultaneously.. Councilman McGrew left the Inner Democratic sanctum shortly before midnight and stated that Chairman Fanning claimed the election of. Mr. Taggart by from 2 to 500 votes, conceding, however, the defeat of the rest of the ticket, which ran considerably behind the tiads. It was probably the most exciting night on the streets of Indianapolis since the first Cleveland campaign, and until midnight -there was a perfect din, bands parading and crowds yejilng. The first forty precincts from which returns were received before 10 o'clock indicated the election of Mr. Bookwalter by 1.000 plurality. At that time there was an ominous lull In the receipt of returns. Between JO and 11 o'clock, when moat of the Vote should have been reported, only fifty returns were received. In these, while the gains were with Mr Bookwalter, they gradually fell to the 1D4 per precinct ratio which was necessary to wipe out the plurality ot 2.S14 which Mayor Taggart received In 1SDT. And still the returns dragged. In Republican circles surmises were made that the returns were being held back that efforts might be made to bribe the election officers. From that time until midnight the returns rose ani then fell a fraction below the 19H average gain for Bookwalter necessary to wipe out Taggart's lead In 1S37, the tendency rather being to the advantage of the latter. SCENES AT MIDNIGHT. At midnight a score of Republicans were

standing about the table in the Journal editorial rooms eagerly but not very hopefully watching the bulletins as they came from the general office of returns). At 11:43 a bulletin of 11 precincts gave a net gain of 2,238 for Bookwalter, which would elect Taggart by 03 votes. Just at midnight a bulletin gave ITS precincts, in which Bookwaiter' gain over 1S37 was 2.3GS a result which would elect Taggart by about 2u0. The remarkable feature about the counting was that, while the officers of large precincts on the North Side and a few on the South Side had counted tneir votes) so that a return could be mad to the newspapers at midnight, no return had been received -from sixty-seven precincts. MAY BE A CONTEST. The closeness of the election and the possibility that the many ballots thrown out might have done much for the Republican candidate, made it possible that Mr. Booky "waiter would carry the matter into the courts in case of defeat, to prove that he had been elected fairly. Chairman Logsdon made the statement that he knew of fully six hundred votes that had been thrown out and protested by the Democratic election officers and that these would be brought, into court in case Taggart mustered strength enough to have himself elected. At 3:30 reports being received at the Republican city committee rooms indicated to Chairman Logsdon, he says, that Bookwaiter would be elected by three hundred votes, without counting the ballots thrown out illegally. In case the matter has to bo taken . to the courts, the action will have to he brought by Mr. Bookwalter in his own relation immediately after the canvassing board completes its work. As soon as the case is filed the court will compel the election officers to bring into court all the tally-sheets and the protested ballots and vlth all the direct and auxiliary evidence before him, the Judge of the court will determine the equity of the case.

RECniVIXCi Till' ItETCRXS. First Slxly Treclncln Showed Ilooki alter I'robablr Elected. The first official results of the election came from the eighth precinct of the Eghth ward and as they showed a net gain of 41 votes for Bookwalter the crowd In front of the Journal building set up a deafening shout when the figures were displayed on the canvas by the stereopticon. Crowded around the two west segments of Monument place were fully a thousand people for whom the drizzling rain had no terrors. Most of them had umbrellas raised, and the drops of moisture sometimes trickled down another person's neck, but brought forth no protests, for both men and boys were absorbed In the meager news which until late In the evening came in with exasperating slowness. In the crowd were several newsboys, but they, almost without exception, forgot to cry their papers until reminded by some more enterprising and less sentimental youngster that there were pennies to be earned. The first returns bred a feeling of confidence that Bookwalter would be elected, for the eighth precinct of the Eighth ward showed that Bookwalter received 76 votes to Taggart's 121, and the knowing ones, by referring to their statistics, saw that the same precinct in 1S37 gave Taggart 133 votes as against 47 for Harding. The second one in waa the fourteenth precinct of the Sixth ward, which includes the territory between Washington and Ohio streets and Capitol avenue and West street. This Democratic precinct also gave Bookwalter a gain of 23, making a total gain in the two precincts of 67. In the first precinct received there is a large German and floating vote, and the gains made were surprising even to the Republicans. It Is situated between Noble, Dixon, Ohio and Washington street. Then came a report that out of a total of six precincts a net gain of 113 had been made for Bookwalter. and the crowds, which had chafed under a five minutes wait while being presented with views of the battle of Manila bay and of Captain Philip, of the Texas, standing before his crew with uplifted face and bare he'ad after the Santiago victory, burst Into another cheer over the good news. About 8:30 the returns began to come In faster. and the enthusiasm of the crowd, which had dampened momentarily under the downfall of rain, grew hotter. Tin horns began to be heard and the murmur coming from the throng showed that some earnest discussion as to the final outcome was gclrg on. A report showing a net gain of 76 for Bookwaiter In three precincts was followed by ons showing a gain of 81 in four precincts, another giving a net gain of 143 in six precincts and 202 in seven precincts. One precinct of the Sixth ward gave a gain of 47 nnd the thirteenth, of the Third, netted a gain of 20. The third precinct of the Fifth ward showed a net gain of 51 for Bookwaiter, while the eierhth precinct of the Seventh ward gave Bookwalter a net gain of 33. The total gain in eight precincts was. 211. TAGGARTS FIRST GAIN. The first precinct to show a gain for Taggart was the fourth precinct in the Fourteenth ward, which gave him a net gain of but 4. The fifth precinct of the Ninth ward came in showing a Bookwalter gain of 54, and ten precincts showed a total gain of 291. A little later the tenth precinct of the Eleventh ward gae Bookwalter a gain of 30, and eleven precincts showed a gain of 321. As only a gain of 220 was necessary to wipe out Aagsart s piurailtv or two vears aeo In to these precincts, the showing or 101 votes S'tlA TP In f:l-fr itt 1lnsm''i ! ar cat tVin crowl vl.U with enthusiasm. A later bulletin gave a net gain of 340 to Bookwalter In twelve precincts. This was promptly supersreled hy a report giving a net gain of 3t5 In fourteen precincts. The second Installment of good news came 'fft for Taggart at this Juncture, but, as was the case in the first one, the advantage was slight. It was? from the Indiana-avenue district nnd shnivpfl irnin fnr T.iP!?.irt of - - - - - - - - - ' - - o"" - v " "on-" - " - among the negro voters had been confidently expected by the Democratic machine. Then came another long interval of good news for Bookwalter. and with it came the expression of belief that he would be elected by fully 1.500. The ninth precinct of the Fifth ward, in the heart of Haughville. gave Bookwalter a net gain of 24. while in the Democratic stronghold the sixth precinct of the Fifteenth ward 28 votes were gained for the Republican candidate. Seventeen pretincts gave him a net gnin of 378 votes. The North-side wards began to send in reports about 8:43 o'clock, and the second precinct of the Third ward gave a gain of 57, while nineteen precincts showed a net gain of 413 votes, although only a gain of 370 was required to overcome the Taggart plurality in these precincts in 1S97. The sixth precinct of the Third ward gave a gain of Another Taggart ward, the Fourteenth, showed a gain of 21, In the ninth precinct. Twenty-five precincts showed a net gain of 611, Indicating a plurality for Bookwalter of about 1,200 if the same results held good all over the city. The fifth and fourteenth precincts of the Third ward gave gains for Bookwalter of 61 and 47, respectively, while twenty-eight precincts gave a net gain of 722, or an average throughout the city of 26 to each precinct. TAGGART'S LONEL.Y GAINS. Taggart made another gain in the sixth precinct of the Sixth ward, but It was only of one vote and much curiosity was expressed as to who the colored man was who cast the vote. The first precinct of the Thirteenth ward, a Democratic stronghold, gave Bookwalter a net gain of 63. Thirty-two precincts gave a net gain of S21 for Bookwalter, or an average of 26 to the precinct. Later a report on thirtyfive precincts showed a net gain of 909, or 227 more than enough to wipe out Taggart's plurality In those precincts in 1S97. Thirty-nine precincts gave a gain of l,v37. while forty-one precincts gave a gain of 1O0. or an average of 26.6 to each precinct in the city. The eleventh precinct of the Fifth ward, bounded by New York, Michigan streets and Belmont avenue in Haughville, gave a net gain of 48 to Bookwalter. The ninth precinct of the Third, ward showed a gain of 17 and the eleventh precinct of the Thirteenth ward showed 35 on the right side of the balance. In forty-four precincts Bookwalter's gain was 1,135 and in forty-eight precincts this rose to 1,140. Then came a. batch of small Taggart gains. The sixth precinct of the Second ward gave Taggart a gain of 7, the second of the Seventh ward gave 19 and the fourth of the Fifth gave 5 and then the Taggajjt successes were missing for a long Interval. The fifth precinct of the Tenth ward sent In a gain for Bookwalter of 42 and the second precinct of the Second ward gave him 37. The first fifty precincts reported showed a net gain of 1.214, or enough. If maintained, to elect him by 876. The fourth precinct of the Sixth ward showed a Bookwaiter gain of 36, while the ninth of the Tenth ward gave him a gain of 21. Fifty-live precincts showed a net gain of 1,234. The remarkable features of the returns up to this time were that Bookwalter's net gains showed an even ratio throughout the city regardless of section. West Indianapolis began to be heard from about 10 o'clock, when the Eighth precinct of the Twelfth ward gave Bookwalter a net gain of ten votes. Sixty precincts gave Bookwalter a net gain of 1.383. It was noticeable that the returns from the vote on school commissioners came in slowly, and it was generally understood that the final result would not be known before morning. Another ray of light broke over the Taggart horizon when the report came In from the fourteenth precinct of the Eighth ward, where a Democratic gain of one was recorded. In his own bailiwick, the third precinct of the Fourteenth ward. Bookwalter scored a net gain of thirty-three, and the report on sixty-three precincts showed a Bookwalter net gain of 1.423. The fourth precinct of the Twelfth ward gave Taggart u gain of two and the sixteenth precinct of the Third ward gae him three, while the sixth precinct of the Ninth ward gave him twenty-one. This latter precinct was up to that time the only one in the city which gavo him a greater gain than three votes. The second precinct of the First ward, in" Brlghtwod. showed a net gain for Taggart of five, but the seventh precinct of the Sixth ward showed a Bookwalter gain of fifty-three, making a net gain of 1.471 in sixty-five precincts, while seventy-two precincts gave a gain of 1.511. THE REPUBLICAN DEPRESSION About 10:30 there came a period of Republican depression, as reports came In showing heavy Taggart gains. The fourth precinct of the Thirteenth ward showed a Bookwalter gain of thirty-nine and the third of the Fourth ward showed a gain of seven. The thirteenth precinct of the Scv-1

enth ward gave Taggart a gain of thirtyore, the largest reported for him up to that time. Eighty-one precinct reported a net gain for Bookwalter of 1.573, which was 19.5 to the precinct, or Ju?t enough to make the vote even as between Taggart and Bookwaiter. When this report reached Mr. Bookwaiter he remarked that, no doubt, as the Democrats had the election machinery under control, they were buy counting the votes out. as was done in Evansville. He said, however, he had no fear of the ultimate result and expected to win by over 1,000. Hardly had the Ink dried on the reports showing the Taggart successes, when ah avalanche of Bookwalter gains came In and brought his average saln in each precinct up once more. The fourth precinct of the if teem h ward gave Bookwalter a gain of 51. the fourteenth precinct of the Second ward gave him a gain of 10. the eighth of the Eleventh gave him 15. the ninth of the Eighth gave him 9. while eighty-five precincts snowed a net gain of 1.667. Then came the sond precinct of the Ninth ward with a gain of 45. while the seventh precinct of the Second gave 23. Eighty-eight precincts gave a net gain for Bookwalter of 1,770. At 11 o'clock ninety-six precincts were reported on. which number Is slightly less than half of the entire number of precincts. These precincts gave a net gain of 1.907 for Bookwalter and cut Taggart's plurality of 3.811 exactly in half, putting Bookwalter and Taggart on precisely the same footing, with half the precincts to hear from. The thirteenth precinct of the Fifth ward gave Taggart a net gain of 7, while the fifteenth precinct of the Third gave Bookwalter a gain of 9. IIARROVI FOIl CANDIDATES.

The Mayor Received Bulletin at Democratic Hendqunrters. The first election returns came in last night earlier than had been expected by many people. By 7:30 o'clock, however, crowds had gathered, before the several newspaper offices, where the reports were bulletined, and stood in the misty rain that fell from time to time until long after midnight. The crowds were divided and alternately Cheered first one candidate, then the other, and shouted at every perceptible gain as it was flashed upon the canvas. The uncertainty of the reports held the spectators in restraint. Occasionally a group, enthusiastic over the success of Its candidate, would break away from the midnight crowd as some "good news' of his gain was bulletined and parade up and down the street, only to return and discover that during the "celebration" the opposing candidate had wrested the lead away. The crowds were good-natured, although the conditions were trying, and the streets were unusually free from annoyances In the shape of Intoxicated celebrators. The rain that fell from time to time added to the unpleasantness of the situation and made the study of the bulletins a tiresome work. But the Interest that was made apparent on all sides evidently made up for the other disagreeable conditions and held hundreds of spectators to positions before the bulletin screens. The Democratic leaders and their adherents early shifted their headquarters from the corridors of the Grand Hotel to the Democratic committee rooms, where the returns were received. At 7:30 o'clock the first private reports were telephoned to the rooms. By that time the hall was well filled and the news was read for the purpose of exoiting the first enthusiasm. Although a slight Democratic gain was shown, the crowd failed to respond as heartily as the chairman had evidently wished, for he took occasion to point that such a fortunate beginning should be applauded. At 8 o'clock Mr. Taggart appeared. The crowd awakened and applauded. The. mayor was smiling and confident, and the time he spent In the hall was devoted to hand-shaking. He made his way to the Inner room, where the returns were received, and remained there during the night. When the returns showed a heavy Democratic loss and the rumors sent about the building were any thing but reassuring Mr. Taggart's smile forsrek tin and i.is fact: bore a trouble! and perplexed expression. At 11 o'clock the report was brought in that one of the newspapers had conceded Mr. Taggart's election and had so announced itself upon the bulletin. This aroused the first genuine cheering of the evening, but the enthusiasm was squelched when the chairman announced that "the news is not worth' hettlhg on. for our returns don't Justify It." This damper thrown on the crowd kept it quiet while several Democratic losses and large Republican gains were read. Then came some returns from the Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards that aroused the drooping spirits of the faithful. More reports were circulated as to the bulletins and Mr. Taggart's smile returned. It was said again that his election was conceded, this time by a plurality of between five and nine hundred. Mr. Taggart had little to say about the election while the returns were being received. The party leaders were more than surprised at the turn events had taken, and, upon one or two occasions when particularly adverse reports were read, made no secret of their fears. "Has Taggart given up yet?" was a frequent question. But Mr. Taggart insisted that he had no "given up, but admitted that the returns were showing a much closer race than he had anticipated. When it was said that one of the papers had bulletined his picture upon the screen with the remarks beneath it that his election was assured, he was asked to give an expression of opinion. , He insisted that he could say nothing for publication until the last returns had been received and there was no longer room for doubt as to the successful candidate. WHAT THE MAYOR SAID. Before the final reports reached the committee rooms there came a lull in which a rumor was circulated that caused Mayor Taggart and Chairman Fanning to send out a scouting expedition to see what delayed the returns. Before all of them could leave the room to visit the various precincts from which no reports had been received the returns began again coming in. and the workers were recalled. When the latest returns turned the balance in favor of Mayor Taggart the Democratic committee rooms rang with the shouts and applause of those who had remained to the last. When Mr. Taggart's friends became certain of his victory they insisted upon pressing their congratulations at once. Chairman Fanning, as he examined the last return, said simply, "Boys, we've got 'em." It was a relief to those who had heard the returns read, for the race had been altogether too close from start to finish to allow of a surplus of confidence. The high tension and anxiety under which the committeemen as well as the onlookers labored was manifest when the last report; showed favorably for Mr. Taggart. They rushed forward to grasp his hand, and, when the street was gained, the enthusiasm increased. Mayor Taggart went at once to the Grand Hotel, where his most Intimate friends were gathered to greet him. Beside these there were few others In the corridors, and the enthusiasm of two years ago was conspicuously lacking. Mayor Taggart had little to say of his apparent success at that hour. He was radiant with smiles, however, and busy with handshaking. "I haven't anything to gay," he said. "There isn't anything to say. 1 was confident from the outset. You can say for me that I am grateful to my friends and appreciate the work they have done for me. I am not only pleased for myself, but I am glad that they are glad. There Isn't time to speak of what I intend to do or of the course I Intend to pursue. And that is hardly necessary when the pledges of the campaign are considered. Just say I am grateful to my friends." 0 THE CAXVASSIXG BOARD. It AV1II Meet In the Circuit Court ToMorrow Mornlnfr. The details of the method for handling and verifying the votes cast for the various candidates are both interesting and somewhat complicated to the lay mind. From the time the polls close and the precinct officers count the votes to the time the canvassing board meets, the tally sheets, showing the ballots cast for each candidate, are in the possession of the city clerk, except that over night the inspectors keep them in their possession and turn them over on the morning following election day. The practice is, after the votes have been counted, to burn all the original ballots except those over which there has been a protest. These are sealed up In large envelopes and are deposited wifli the city clerk to be used if necessary in determining the actual result in case the vote Is close enough to warrant it. The canvassing board, which finally passes upon the results shown by the tally sheets, will meet In rhe Circuit Court room to-morrow morning and go over the result. This board, which is composed of the different Inspectors, will begin operations by electing a chairman, wno will formally call the meeting to order. All contests will either have been settled by the election board before the beard meets or will have been referred to the courts for settlement. It la customary for the members of the

canvassing board to distribute the tally sheets so that no member examines the sheet from his own precinct and while the inspectors carry the original tally sheet in their pockets over night, it Is always customary to protect the representatives of the opposing party by making a statement signed by all the precinct election officers, stating the number of votes cast for each of the candidates and delivering this statement into the hands of the minority representative. This, it is thought, precludes the chance of the tally sheet being tampered with after leaving the possession or the precinct officers. This is generally considered to be little protection, however, as the courts have held that In all questions of evidence as to fraud in changing the tally sheets are the best evidence and the duplicate statement given to the minority representatives is of minor importance. The city officers elected yesterday will be sworn In in the mayor's office to-morrow immediately after the canvassing board completes its work, it is expected that this will be about noon, although it may be earlier or later, as circumstances may direct. 4 THROWING OUT BALLOTS. An Example of Democratic Methods In Flrnt Ward. As an Indication of the way some of the Democratic precinct officers threw out Republican votes, the Republican officers of the sixth precinct of the First ward allege that they lost twenty-seven votes by these means. Two of these ballots were destroyed during the day because the voters displayed them in a manner that let others know how they had voted. Eleven were thrown out for mutilations over which there was no protest, while fourteen were repudiated by the Democratic officials over the protest of the Republican officials. The Joint Xeiviipnper Bureau. The joint newspaper bureau which was established In Capt. W. E. English's office to handle and tabulate the returns for the newspapers, clubs and theaters was In the nature of an innovation. Acting on the joint request of both the Democratic fttid Republican city committees, the precinct committeemen nearly all sent in returns cs soon as ascertained, either by messenger cr by telephone. A3 scon as it was received at the bureau each message was read aloud to the representatives of all the papers, who at once transferred It to paper and sent It to their respective offices. The active managers of the bureau then took the returns and figured out the gains and losses sustained in the different precincts by the various candidates and copies were sent to all subscribers to the bureau. At an early hour this morning there yet remained several precincts to hear from, and It was felt that It would run far into the day before the final result was known. OPPOSED TO MILITARISM.

Grover Cleveland's Reply, to a Letter from lloltnn Hnll. NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Among the letters received by Bolton Hall, temporary secretary of the American League, recently organized to oppose militarism in the United States, is the following from Grover Cleveland, dated Buzzard's Bay, Mass., Oct. 8: "Your letter and the statements of the belief of the proposed American League have been forwarded to me. I think the statement is the best I have seen on the question of anti-expansion, as it is at present exhibited to us. The concluding paragraph comprises, in my opinion, the pith of the mater. The use of powr in the extension of American institutions presents an. Inconsistency whose evil and dangerous tendency ought to be apparent to all who love these institutions and understand their motives and purposes. I have no objection to being among those who subscribe' to the statement you send me. If it is altered, however, I desire to be advised of the change before I am recorded as an adviser." The paragraph which Mr. Cleveland refers to Js the last of the platform of the organization. Is Is as follows: "We are therefore opposed to the use of force In the extension of American institutions." REJOICING AT PANA. Settlement of n Strike That Cuuted the Lous of 3Iany Lives.

We in Washington, with the co-operation of Congress, :nay fix a general scnedule, but its execution depends upon you. There are limitations upon our powers as well as restrictions upon your We must co-operate. We may direct, but you must execute. The postal service of the country is placed in your hands. Only general laws and orders are your bounds. Not only are the details of the service, the receipt, delivery and dispatch of the malls, the Issue and payment of money orders, the registration and delivery of valuable packages confided to your discretion, but the efficiency and dignity of the service, present and prospective, are in your hands "In military movements cavalry are said to be the eyes and ears cf the service. You are all that and something more. You are. In fact, the entire organism. Without your intelligence, fidelity and business capabilities there would be no occupation for those who represent the legislative and executive branches of the postal service. "The postoffice is the only service under our government which provides, to a great extent, its own revenues and deals directly with the people. And now for the first time within the present generation It is very near paying Its own way, and ceases to be a burden upon the general government. To your efforts, almost as much as to the present prosperity of the country, this result is to be ascribed. "Much depends upon the Intelligence of the railway mail clerks, always alert and occupying positions of trust, danger and experience; much. also, upon the fidelity of the postoffice clerks and the tireless energies of the faithful carriers; but you, the postmasters1, are after all the directors and responsible managers. The derelictions as well as the credit come home to you. and from what I have heard and know of you the community may well be congratulated that business Instincts and demonstrated capacity as well as party considerations have governed your selection."

A newsboy fully a hundred feet away was shot in the head by one of O'Malley's bullets, but the ball did not penetrate and the boy will recover.
