GRIFFITHS HmillNS 1HOM ' A TO I II OP STATE. He Thinks the Plurality Will Reach cnrl- lOO.OOO Meeting Held Political .otcs. One of the last and most pretentious of the Republican demonstrations to be held In Indianapolis this campaign will be the meeting for Corporal James Tanner, at Tomllnson Hall, on the night of Nov. 1. It is to be a meeting for the veteran soldiers, and they are taking an active interest in the approaching event. Corporal Tanner's ability as an orator Is well known and there Is little doubt of his addressing a great crowd. The meeting is to be under the auspices of Camp No. 1, Indianapolis Republican Camp of Veterans and Their Sons. Over one hundred vice presidents have been selected to take part In the meeting. "When Corporal Tanner was here a few weeks ago he expressed the desire that his old friend, James "Whlicomu Riley, be invited to attend the meeting and recite his famous poem, "Old Glory." Mr. Riley was made acquainted with Corporal Tanner's wishes, but found that he will be unable to be here. He has sent a letter expressing regret at his inability to attend. In the letter he says: "The honor of acting with your committee in the great welcome to our distinguished comrade, Corporal James Tanner, upon Nov. 1, is denied me by unyielding public engagements made by manager, who also has, with me, been vainly striving to make exchange with long prior engagements, that I might be permitted to meet yours, in honor of my dear particular friend. Corporal Tanner. With my profound regrets, therefore, In thus being deprived of being personally present to greet my old friend and comrades all, I send instead all loyal greetings and Godspeed." Wm. II. Lester, first Vice president of the camp, says there will be no street parade. Mr. Lester will call the meeting to order at 8 o'clock. Corporal Tanner will be escorted to the hall by a committee from tho camp In carriages. The vice presidents will be expected to occupy chairs on the stage and may procure stage tickets by calling at Room 1015, Law building. After tho meeting has been called to order patriotic songs will be rendered and there will be preliminary remarks by Comrade Thomas Ilanna. Fremont E. Swift has been selected as sergeant-at-arms and will be assisted by E. W. Lewis, Holman McDonald, Harry Jay, II. E. Negley, J. W. Scott, Charles O. Johnson, J. P. Tedrow, Benjamin C. Wheat, David J.

He says the meetings there this year are unusually well attended and the enthusiasm contagious, und he predicts that Ohio will give McKinley a plurality of at least 73.000. Many with whom he talked, who are very conversant with the political situation In the State, place the plurality even as high as 100.9JÖ. "Outside of Cleveland, which has been a political storm center for a long time, the party is In better shape than It ha ben at a.y time during the last ten years." Mr. Griffiths ays. "The people of Ohio are proud of McKInley's administration and he will receive many Democrats votes. They call attention to the fact that he rose above partisan considerations in making his appointments In the army during the Spanish-American war and they feel inclined to be equally patriotic and generous. The farmers who voted for free silver In are going to vote for. McKinley ttdft year, with wool cents a pound in

stead of 10 cents, and sheep selling for W.W apiece Instead of- $1.50, and many of their Democratic neighbors will do likewife. A gentleman who travels through Ohio showed me his order book for 1S16 and thl year. In one day in 1900 he had sold more goods than in any three weeks four years ago. He said that Aguinaldo was the only traveling man he knew of who was enthusiastically for Bryan. A merchant in an Ohio town complained to me of the additional expense McKInley's administration had entailed upon him. Four years ago he said one ball of twine lasted him three days, and now ' he uses three balls a day tying up parcels. One has only to travel through Ohio to realize the absurdity of the Democratic claim that it is a doubtful State. McKinley was never as popular in his own commonwealth as he la to-day. The people do more than admire him they love him." Mr. Griffiths has been compelled on account of his Indiana appointments to decline all Invitations to speak outside of the State and telegraphed yesterday that it would be impossible for him to address the mass meeting in New York city at Cooper Union on Thursday night of next week.

TUB LIXCOLN' LLAGIC. It Is Doln? a Great Work Throughout the State. The Lincoln League organization of the State was never in better shape than at the present time, and It promises to cut a big figure in the coming election. Secretary Mitchener is sending out certificates to members these days, in anticipation of a big attendance at the annual State convention to be held In this city Feb. 12 and 13 next. It is expected that there will ba between 2,500 and 2,000 delegates. Only those members who have certificates will be entitled to attend the convention . is delegates. Secretary Mitchener says the coming convention will be the largest political con vention ever held in tho State. Member pay 50 cents for their certificates, half of which goes to the support of the Stat organization the other 25 cents goes to the support of the local club. Every Republican club in the State is a part of the Lincoln League. Secretary Mitchener says the Lincoln League of Indiana is the biggest State political organization In the country. There are very few counties in the State that have not a Lincoln League organization. Marlon county has nearly one hundred clubs that operate under the Lincoln League. Secretary Mitchener says that many Democrats have Joined the Lincoln League clubs, and he estimates that altogether perhaps 4,000 Democrats are affiliating with the league in Indiana, and this means that they will all vote the Republican ticket. Sixty of the members of one club alone were formerly Denocrats. In addition to the presidents, secretaries, etc., of the different clubs, the league has forty-three State and district officers, 276 county officers and 1,011 township officers. PROMIXEXT ORATORS. Secretary Wilson, W. D. Foalke and W. D. Bynuiu in Town. William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond, has just returned from the South, whera he has been making campaign speeches. He did some campaigning in Louisiana, and says he found that the better class of people in that. State, including the sugar planters and business men of New Orleans, are Republicans. Mr. 'Foulke passed through one town in Louisiana where a Republican meeting cannot be held. This was the town of Kenner, where there weri thirty-four white voters at the last election, yet the town returned a Democrats majority of 830. In spite of these condl tlons, Mr. Foulke says, the Republicans expect to elect one or two congressmen. W. D. Bynum is home from a speechmaking tour of Ohio and West Virginia, and says that both States will give Republican majorities. He thinks McKInley's plurality in Ohio will not be less than 60,000, and in West Virginia not less than lii.uoo. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, was in the city yesterday, and like Mr. Bynum, brought encouraging reports. II declares there is but one possible outcome of the election, and that is the election of McKinley and Roosevelt. "The farmers are with us," remarked Mr. Wilson, "and other elements are in our favor." OPINIONS RENDERED. Attorney General's Legral Advice on Questions Affecting Election. As there are only three ballot boxes and four ballots to be cast at the coming election, the question has arisen as to where the ballots on which tho constitutional amendments are printed shall be deposited. In answer to this inquiry Attorney General Taylor said yesterday that the Supreme Court had decided that all ballots properly marked shall be counted, no matter in which ballot box they shall be found, and therefore the ballots containing the constitutional amendments will be counted if found in either cf the boxes. The State Election Board ht:s agreed, however, that the constitutional amendment tickets shall be placed in the county ballot boxes, because they are printed on white paper. With reference to the road supervisors Attorney General Taylor said yesterday that most of the township trustees had divided their townships up into four districts, but somo have not done so and havo allowed tho districts to stand as they were before the act of was passed. In those cases, Mr. Taylor says, the only thing .to be done Is to put all the names of the candidates for supervisor on one ticket and let the court determine who has been elected. - TUB LEBANON RALLY. Special Train Will Carry Republican Clubs from This City. All the arrangements have been completed for the Marion Club special train to Lebanon to-night. The Marlon Marching Club, accompanied by a band, will leave the Marlon Clubhouse at 6:13 p. m. sharp, for the Union Station. All members are earnestly requested to be there at that time. The E. C. Atkins Club,, two hundred strong, accompanied by their drum corps of twenty-six pieces, will go on this train. The Atlas Club, 150 strong, has also made arrangements to make this trip. The night parade at Lebanon will be one of the largest parades ever held In Boone county. The special train leaves the Union Station at 6:45. Tickets can be obtained at the Marion Clubhouse, Union Station or Big Four ticket office. Prohibition Committee Met. The Prohibition State executive committee held Its last meeting prior to. the election yesterday in one of the rooms of tho Y. M. C. A. building. Among those present wero State Chairman Hall. County Chairman Neerman. F. T. McWhlrter. Wilson S. Doan. Secretary E. W. Clark and a number of others. After a review of the work that has already been accomplished the committee arranged the dates of the Prohibition orators for the closing eeks of the campaign. Owing to the poor health of Charles Eck-, hart, the Prohibition candidate for Governor, the remainder of his appointments will be tilled by R. H. Clark, the Prohibition candidate for lieutenant governor. State Chairman Hall says In his opinion the Prohibitionists will draw more largely this year from the Democrats than from the Republicans. He maintains that the Prohlbtion party will poll S0.00U votes this year in the State. Cnpt. English Will Fill Engagements. Captain William E. English is confined to the house from an attack of stomach tnd bowel trouble from which he has suffered periodically slnse the Cuban campaign. He wishes It understood, however, that he expects to be out all right in time to fill his speaking engagements for this week, which are as follows: Richmond, Thursday night: Greensburg Friday night, and Franklin. Saturday afternoon, with Secretary of Agriculture Wilson at the all-day rally at that place. Work of Gold Democrats. Tho Gold Democratic leaders claim that fully &0 per cent, of tho Gold Democrats In this county (and the poll shows there, are nearly 2.D00 of them) who opposed Bryan In 1S0G will do so again at the coming election. The leaders are making a careful canvass of their vole in this county and maintain that thej know what they are talking about. Tho county committee

H sendfpg out literature on the money question, and It is also mailing circular letters to those whose names were on the poll books in It is claimed by the Gold Democrats that the Germans are as a rule in favor of sound money and will vote the Republican ticket even though the Democrats claim they will oppose McKinley on yccount of Imperialism. L. M. Martin, in charge of the national headquarters here, returned yesterday from Chicago and announced himself well pleased with the outlook as he found it there.

Pike Will ; Republican. J. W. Brumfield, county clerk of Pike county, has been at the Denison with his wife and daughter for two or three days. Mr. Brumfield came to Indianapolis after the election ballots that ' are allotted to his county. He is highly encouraged over the political situation In his county. "In 1SSG," said Mr. Brumfield, "we had some Republicans In our county who went over to Bryan on account of his free-silver views, but they have all come back to our party. On the other hand, we have gained some votes from the Democracy." Mr. Brumfield thinks Pike county will be Republican this year by at least 200 majority. A Noonday Meetings Held. An enthusiastic noonday meeting was held at the Parry Manufacturing Company's factory yesterday by the members of the McKinley and Roosevelt Club. Mr. James Ahern. of West Indianapolis, Introduced Renwlck H. Langford, of Lincoln, Neb., who made a stirring thirty-minute tpeech, in which he briefly discussed the leading Issues, especially the money question, trusts and imperialism. East End Republican Clnh. George Wallace last nlgh resigned as secretary of the East End Republican Club ond Henry N. Wilson was elected to succeed him. A report lias been circulated that the East End Republican Club is lighting the county ticket. This is emphatically denied by officers of the club. They fray that now the club membership is enthusiastically for the whole county ticket. McKinley Pictures in Majority. Mr. T. J. Shepard, who lives on St. Joseph street, yesterday walked over to West street. On the way he counted In the windows of houses sixty-eight McKinley pictures and four of Bryan.

The Directors Issue a Booklet Containing Interesting: Facts. The directors of the Independent Turnverein have issued a beautiful booklet, containing a complete history of the club and half-tone cuts of the Interior views in the gymnasium, clubrooms and bowling alleys. This society was organized Jan. 1, 1S79, and now has a membership of 225. Its gymnasium is attended by large classes of men, boys, girls and women. The women's auxiliary, composed of one hundred members, assists the society in the general advancement of its purposes. DANK VAL'LT CONSTRUCTION. The Revolution In Methods as Shorrn by the Nevr Vault for the American Banking; Co., of This City. The officers of the American National Bank, this city, after a very careful investigation of the merits of bank and safedeposit vault construction, including a trip on the part of the board of directors to Pittsburg,1 where they examined the great armor-plate vault of the Union Trust Company, of that city, which is made of Harveylzed nickel steel, including the construction of such work in the armor mills of the Carnegie Steel Company, determined to furnish their bank with this latest and best form of burglar-proof protection. The value of tho new armor-plate vaults depends upon the quality of the nickel steel of which they are made and the peculiar method of construction, which has been evolved from years of study and experiment, and is a triumph of mechanical science and skill. The massive steel armor plates from which this vault is to be built are similar in character to those used for the protection of the war vessels of the United States navy. Their faces are hardened by the process known familiarly as "Harveylzing." The application of this process was developed at the works of the Bethlehem Steel Company, South Bethlehem, Pa., and the Carneglo Steel Company, Pittsburg, Pa., with the co-operation of tha Bureau of Ordnance of the United States navy, the first armor plate submitted for trial at the Indian Head proving grounds being a twelve-Inch Harveyized taper-plate, representing the sido armor of the battleship Maine. The front of this vault is to be made of two plates of a total thickness -of twelve and a half inches, and is to be provided with a circular door seven feet seven inches in diameter and thirteen Inches thick. The sides, top and bottom are each to be formed of plates four Inches thick. The use of bolts for the purpose of uniting these plates will be done away with, the plates being fastened together inside the vault by dovetails and wedges, which make the construction so secure that, even if it were possible to attack it under the most favorable conditions, it could not be wrenched apart. The hardened surfaces of the plates themselves are impenetrable to the drill, even if manipulated by the most improved and powerful appliances. This metal has successfully resisted armor-piercing shells fired from high-power guns, and it can be safely relied upon to withstand any attack which may be made by robbers or by an organized mob with dynamite. The use of armor plate for vault construction was undertaken about two years ago, the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society's being the first vault to be contracted for. Thl was followed by the vault for the Union Trust Company, Pittsburg, above referred to, and this, in turn, by vaults for the Union Savings Bank and Trust Company, Cincinnati, the Continental Trust Company, Baltimore, the Merchants' and Manufacturers National Bank. Pittsburg, the Buffalo Savings Bank, Buffalo, and the Western Reserve Trust Company, Cleveland, etc. The use of armor plate is the latest development In an Industry that has grown to be one of the first in importance in the United States, although the first plate of th-j sort was forged in this country less than a decade ago. Enormous plants of special and expensive machinery have been established at Pittsburg and South Bethlehem, comprising, among other tools, single and double-cylinder forging presses of ll.hGO tons capacity, with pumps driven by flf-teen-thousand-horsc power engines, the whole, with its complement of furnaces and hydraulic traveling cranes, constituting the most powerful and complete forging apparatus in this country. In general the plants are modeled, after the famous armor works at Creusot. France, but have been modified to meet the Improvements in modern practice which have been adopted since the French works were built. William II. Hollar, president of the Hollar Lock Inspection and Guaranty Company, engineers of bank-vault construction, who was the designer of the vaults of the Indiana National Hani: and the Indiana Trust Company, has charge of this work, as he is the inventor and sole owner of the patented construction- used, and his association with, the work Is a guarantee of its superior character.

BRYAN'S OWN STATE

M'KISLHY HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING ELECTORAL VOTE. R. II. Langforil, n Prominent Repub licau of Lincoln, Nch., Now In the City. HE SAYS INDIANA IS SAFE THINKS THE R 12 1 I II LI CA N MAJORITY WILL BE 20,000. Conditions in Knnsns, Illinois, Nebraska and Mouth Dakota Republican Gains. It. H. Langford, a prominent Republican of Lincoln, Neb., the home of William Jennings Bryan, who has been speaking for the national Republican committee for the last six weeks, is stopping at the Deni-. son. He Is known as the "Sand Hill Poet" of Nebraska. He said to a Journal reporter last night that he was surprised to find the conditions in Indiana so favorable. Before coming into the State from reports heard by him he was led to think that the Democrats had some show In Indiana. He says tha enthusiasm of the Republican party everywhere and the splendid efforts the workers are putting forth are bound to make Indiana an exception to herself in this presidential election. "When you find towns of 1,500 to 2,000 population," said Mr. Langford, "having rallies at which 10,0U0 enthusiastic, cheering Republicans assemble it is a sure indication of the final result. There is nothing the matter with Indiana this time. She will stand in the Republican column with 20,000 majority to her credit. SITUATION IN NEBRASKA. "The situation in Nebraska is peculiar and not readily understood by people' outsldo the State, There are no Democrats in Nebraska, comparatively speaking, but just enough to turn the scales in favor of the Populists when they fuse. Four years tgo Mr. Bryan carried the State by something over 13,000, but at that time we had no midroad ticket in the field. This year we have a full 'straight Pop ticket in the field, and the leaders claim they can poll 10.000 votes. If they do this the State is as certainly Republican as Iowa. The Republicans have made gains everywhere, and considering this fact with the fact that all midroad votes come from the luslon party leads to but one conclusion, and that Is that Nebraska will be found this year standing where she ought to stand In the Republican column. Mr. Bryun will not carry his own ward, his own city, his own county, and Republicans believe and hope he will not carry his own State." Referring to South Dakota, Mr. Langford said: "The election in South Dakota will bo very close, the parties running about neck and neck, with the Republicans slightly in the lead. Senator Pettlgrew is making the best campaign that he can make, but he is not as strong in the State as he was formerly. The outlook grows better, however, from day to day, and Republican leaders there are quite sanguine that they will place tho State on the Republican side." Of Kansas, Mr. Langford said: "The Popullstic craze In Kansas broke out before it did in Nebraska, and as a result that State is now returning to Its first love. The Populists there are all broken up into factions, and are, like Kilkenny's cats, fighting one another to the death. Many of their strongest leaders have forsaken the party, and are doing splendid work for the Republican ticket. The majority for McKinley and Roosevelt in that State will be anywhere between 15,000 and Q yQQ ' ' ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN "In Illinois," continued Mr. Langford, "the situation grows brighter every day. Had the election taken place three or four weeks ago the Republican party would have been mourning the loss of Illinois, but as each day passes the grand old party Is making wonderful gains. In the city of Chicago things looked very gloomy three weeks ago, but the tide has turned and now has almost become a stampede in favor of the Republicans. The city Is sure to give a Republican majority of at least 20.000, and the majority in the State, if the situation continues to improve until the day of the election, will be over 100,000. There are several congressional districts in Illinois normally Democratic .which wero carried two years ago by the Republicans, and In these districts the fiercest fights are being waged. There is probably no district In the State where the Democrats are making such a desperate effort to redeem the district as in the Twenty-first. But in Wm. A. Rodenberg, the present Republican representative, they have met a foeman worthy of their steel, and, while they are resorting to all kinds of questionable methods to defeat him, he stands a good show to win out by four or five hundred majority." SMSMBVaHBSHHaBBVSSSBBBBBWSSBMaSSS CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES. Meeting of the Central Indiana Association. The meeting of the Central Indiana Association of Congregationallsts was called to order yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock In the Union Congregational Church, Martin Tark, this city, Tho association comprises thirteen churches of that denomination in central Indiana. The work of the meeting, aside from the reports of the different churches, is given up largely to addresses by the different pastors and delegates. Rev. Thomas Smith, who was to have led the opening session yesterday in devotional exercises, gave way to Rev. Oscar Lowry, who took his place on account of not being able to be present last night, owing to a revival now being held in his own church. Of the routine matter, which was quickly disposed of, the reports indicated ä steady increase in the building of church edifices and growing congregations. The addresses last night were made by Rev. Oscar Helming, of the Northwest Church of this city, Rev. Dr. Waterman, of Terre Haute, and Rev. H. C. Meserve. of Plymouth Church. At the conclusion of the addresses a communion service was held.
