NEED OF FLAT BUILDINGS SUITES CONTRACTED FOR BCFORE IUILDI.NGS ARC COMPLETED. Building: Inspector Iledell Says Such Structures Have Proved Good Investments. "Indianapolis needs more flate," said Bull Jlng Inspector Bedell yeiterday. "There have been about twelve flats erected this year. And they are nearly all occupied now, and the demand Is greater for such living1 apartments than ever before In the history of -Indianapolis, It was thought a few years ago, when Hats were new to the city, that a few would answer the demand, but those who have noticed the advancement realize that this class of buildings Is a. gTeat investment. VI predict th:U next year thre will be a large number of Hats built la Indianapolis. Some of the men who have invested their mowy in these buildings are already planning for new structures. What the city needs now are flats that will rent for from fcO to J3, instead of the more expensive buildings erected thl year. There is talk now of a largo flat being built on J-Aft New York street, near Delaware, to contain twelve or fifteen apartments." Ural-estate- men are of the same opinion B2 llr. Bedell, and they all say they could eafiiy rent any number of suitable flats at a reasonable rental If they were located within walking distance of Washington street. LAST SESSION HELD. The Association of CotitrrcKntlounllsts Adjourn a. The closing session of the meeting of the Central Indiana Association of CongregatlonalLU occurred last night with an address by Rev. Hugh Klrkland. of the churches of Cardonla and Caeyvllle. Dr. Klrkland was substituted for the Dev. Dr. Waterman, of Torre Haute, who was to have delivered the addres. but who was called unexpectedly to his home. The feature of the day's meeting was an address In the morning on foreign ml:dons by Rev. Dr. Waterman, who recently returned from St. Louis, where he had been attending the convention of thf American Board of Foreign Missions, in his address Dr. Waterman devoted Fom time to the troubles of the Chinese and the missionaries, from information he had .gained while attending the St. Louis meeting. The address was interesting. In the afternoon papers were read by Rev. II. C. Me serve, of Plymouth Church, Dr. Murray, of the People's Church, and Dr. Osgood, of the Mayflower Church. After the reading of these papers a committee, composed of Dr. Osgood, Dr. Meserve and Dr. Perd up, of Terre Haute, was appointed to lcok after home missionary societies, to keep them In touch with the na-i tlonal board.

TAGGART HAS BOODLE
WELL-KS0W5 WASHINGTON CORItESIOXDENT CONFIRMS STORY. The Mnyor, He Says, Will Use Croker's Corruption Fund on Elec Hon Day. $50,000 FROM TAMMANY BOSS WILL SOT BE DISTRUSTED AMONG THE IIINGRV NOW. McKinley Will Get n RIjc Farmer' Vote In Indinnn, the Correspondent Sayn. "You can Just bet anything you possess that Thomas Taggart, mayor of your city and national Democratic committeeman, secured that $50,0u0 bank roll from Richard Croker," said . a prominent Washington newspaper correspondent at the Denlson last night. This correspondent Is now making a tour of several States and claims he makes the above statement on good authority. T know Taggart got the money," continued the correspondent, "and I know his pockets are bulging out with the rolls of greenbacks. He is not using the money now Is the reason why many believe that his trip to New York wis fruitless, but ho has It and It will be us id at the polls on election day. He believes the money will do more good at that time than spreading It broadcast so long before the election." The correspondent has been in Indiana for two days, and while he refuses to make any predictions on the political outlook In this State he admits that McKinley' chances are much brighter than they were four years ago. He said the great talk of the Methodists and Baptists several weeks ago on the canteen question, a Democratic story to Influence people against McKinley, has died out and now there Is hardly any talk at all along that line in this or any other State. In the gas belt, he said, Bryan simply ruined what chance he might have had with the labor vote in that district by his recent remarks in that section when he said the way to kill trusts' was to place trust made articles on the free list. This statement, according to the correspondent, has been a wonderiul vote natter for McKinley. "McKinley will poll the largest vote among the farmer in Indiana ever given a candidate on either ticket," said the correspondent. "I noticed four years ago that many of the farmers believed that the talk or 16 to l would be a great thing for them, but they don't care for any of it now. It is enly necessary for the Republican speakers to read market quotations in l&Mi and com pare them with the higher prices of to-day to lnuuence the farmers. The farmers really don't need much Influencing, for they realize that they get better prices now than they could have secured under the Demo cratic party, and they will let well enough alone. "The situation in Kentucky Is a peculiar cne. There is no doubt that the recent outrages in condemning men on trial for al leged conspiracy and being Implicated in the murder of Goebel will influence the better class of people. They all say. how ever, that the Court of Appeals will reverse the verdicts or grant new trials, and there fore the feeling Is not as great as it would otherwise be. I might say McKinley would nave a good chance In Kentucky if the ballots cast for him were all counted and duly credited to him, but under the Goebel law and tho Democratic Judges there Is a chance of Bryan securing the electoral vote." Tafrgnrt and the $5O,0O0. "The Democrats will make a heavy set upon Indiana the last week of the campaign," said a member of the state central committee, last night. "They will have Altgeld, Towne, Stevenson and others here." "Much good it will do them to have those Populists here, as the Democrats who are Democrats, have had enough of that stuff,"- said another member: "what we fear more Is the $30,000 Taggart got from Croker. To a correspondent of national rep utation Taggart said, yesterday, that he had $50,000 locked up sure enough and that the boys are very eager to get at it. they have been hungry so long. The name pf the corresponaent can oe given." STATE INSTITUTIONS. Secretary Amoa W. Dutler Satisfied with Conditions. Amos W. Butler, secretary of the State Board of Chartles, returned last evening from a visit to a number of the State institutions, and reports that he Is well pleased with present conditions. Mr. Butler says that more than enough vegetables have been raised at the State prison at Michigan City to feed the inmates, and Warden Shldeler has announced his Intention of sending some of his truck to other institutions. The building which was destroyed by Are at the School for Feeble-minded Youths at Fort Wayne has been replaced with a much handsomer edillce. The conditions at the Northern Insane Asylum, at Logansport Mr. Butler says, could not be better. JUMPED FE0M THIRD STORY. Theodore PfaUlIn Tried to Escape from the Sanatorium. Theodore rfafHin, of 1915 North Senate avenue, who has been under treatment at Dr. Fletcher's sanatorium for ten days.

Coroner Inquiry Into the Death of Arthur Staats. The coroner's Investigation of the death of Arthur Staats, killed In the street-car accident, was concluded yesterday. Tho ceclslon was that death resulted from hemorrhage of the brain caused by Injuries received in the wreck, but did not fix the Name upon either the street-car companv or the railroad. The coroner said his court is simply one of Inquiry, and was supported by County Attorney Brown in his decision. Ellhu skinner's Wife Gone. Elihu Skinner, cf 223 South Noble street, reported to the police yesterday that his wife was missing, and asked for assistance In locating her. He was married In September and recently visited her par ents in Brownsburg, leaving there Friday last, since which time he has not seen or heard from her. Ilev. L. H. Kennedy's Lecture. Rev. L. E. Kennedy, an evangelist, lec turcd in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. building last night on "Colorado, the Queen of the Rockies." The lecturo was illus trated with excellent views he had procured while traveling through Colorado. The room was crowded, and many, being un able to get in. returned home. Will Test the Ordinance. O.

The Indiana Medical College football team and the Butler team were to play a game on the Butler campus yesterday afternoon, but after the two elevens lined up and played a few minutes there wis a wrangle, and the Butler boys refused to agree to Referee Shldeler's ruling, and went out of the game. Referee Shldeler then awarded the game to the Medlc3 by a score cf C to 0. Coach Kelly, of the Butler team, said Shidc-ler's ruling was contrary to the rules, as he had given Butler ten yards on an offside play when there were four yards to gain, and insisted that Butler had four yards to gain after the ten yards were awarded. The Butler team had the ball in the Medics' territory all of the time and came near scoring a touchdown. Coach Kelly will go to Bloomlngton to-morrow to referee the game between Notre Dame and the State University team on Saturday. The Butler team plays at Franklin Friday. iBBSBMHBMHHSflBBBMSMSHSB) MEETING IN IRVINGTON REPRESENTATIVE OVERSTREET GIVEN A HEARTY GREETING. Knight of Tythlas Hall Packed to the ÜoorsFrank L. Littleton Also Spoke One of the best and most enthusiastlo meetings of the campaign was held by the Republicans last night In the Knights of Pythias Hall at Irvlngton. The meeting was addressed by Representative Overstreet and Frank L. Littleton, both of whom were accorded enthusiastic recep tions. Before the meeting there was a parade of clubs and Rough Riders, and as a consequence the meeting was somewhat delayed. Before the street demonstration was concluded the hall where the meeting was held was crowded to the doors, and it was almost impossible for those who participated In the parade to get in at all. The crowd was further increased by the late coming of the East End Republican Club, which arrived on a special car some time after Mr. Overstreet began speaking. Everybody was good-natured, however, and each tried to make himself as small as possible in order to accommodate his neighbor, and, though it was a tight squeeze, all those who wanted to could hear the speakers; and, notwithstanding the discomfort, they apparently came for that purpose and stayed until the end. The meeting was presided over by James T. Layman, the Republican candidate for state senator. Mr. Overstreet devoted the greater part of his speech to the money question, and his argument was well received by the crowd. THE TRUST QUESTION. In speaking of the trusts Mr. Overstreet said he did not deny that there was some difficulty in handling the question, "but," said he, "I do say they cannot be dissolved by simply talking about them as does Mr. Bryan, Mr. Burke and others of the Democratic party. It requires something mora than a resolution on paper. The question of trusts is not entirely new, and yet to hear Mr. Bryan talk one would think the trusts were coexistent with the McKinley ad ministration. The Republican party, however, does something besides talking. In liSS the Republican party at its national convention in Chicago, introduced a plank into Its resolutions against the trusts. William McKinley was chairman of the committee on resolutions and drew that plank. Following the resolutions of the party at its national convention twenty-four States enacted anti-trust laws. The State of Indiana, I am pleased to say, was one of those States. "In lfcDO the Republican party did something else against the trusts. I refer to the first anti-trust bill Introduced in Congress which was the bill of that grand old Republican patriot, Senator John Sherman, of Ohio. That law passed the Senate and the House and has been held to be valid in different States of this Union. And yet the Democratic party would try to make you believe that the Republicans are not the friends of the laboring man. As I have said, Mr. Bryan would have you believe there were no trusts prior to the McKinley administration, yet I find there were Just seventy-seven of the concerns, some of them with a capital of over a hundred million. In existence prior to The Democratic party was not ignorant of the existence of the trusts when it was in power, and yet I ask you to point out n single Instance when they have ever tried to da anything against them." BURKE'S RECORD. Mr. Littleton confined his remarks chiefly to the record of Mr. Burke on antitrust and reform measures while a member of the Indiana State Senate In 1SS9 and 1S01. Said Mr. Littleton: "In 1&S9 Burke was one of two senators to vote against a bill for an act to declare unlawful all trusts, pools, contracts, agreements and combinations in restraint of trade, production, manufacture, or sale, to fix the liability of, and to punish, persons and corporations concerned therein. In 1S01 he also worked and voted against a similar anti-trust bill. Mr. Burke had two opportunities to vote in favor of anti-trust measures, yet in each instance he went on record as being opposed to laws to regulate and remedy the evils of trusts. In 15SD he was the only Democratic senator to oppose and vote against the Australian ballot law. Had Mr. Burke been powerful enough Indiana would still be a boodle State. In 1SS9 Burke was the only senator to vote against an act to render uniform the assessment of personal property in the several townships of the different counties. He was the only senator who voted against an act provldldng for the proper taxation of sleeping car companies." In conclusion Mr. Littleton said: "Mr. Burke has had legislative experience, and. as shown by his record, was against everything which appealed togood citizenship. Do you propose to put him in a place where he can continue to oppose meritorious legislation and all that is in the interest of good government and better citizenship?" Poor Convict Law. Thomas White, of Evansvllle.who plead ed guilty to a charge of violating the rev enue laws, and Joseph Neddo, who entered a plea of guilty to the charge of assault ing a mall carrier at South Bend, and both of whom were fined by Judge Baker, of the Federal Court, in the sum of $100 and costs, having served thirty days in the Marion county Jail, yesterday took advan tage of the poor convict law and were dis charged. Arrest of Two Women. A quarrel between two small children raused a fight yesterday between Fratha Uoscs and Mary Deveth. living at 51$ Wilard street, and resulted In a riot among .he Arabian and Polish inhabitants of the street. The disturbance was stopped by Patrolman McCarty. who arrested the two women and sent them to headquarters. Thrown from a Horse. Lemuel Abston, a colored" hostler, was severely bruised yesterday morning by be .nc thrown from a horse at Virginia ave nue and Shelby street. Ills injury was the result of his desire to ride a horse belonging in Selch's livery, which was said to be one whicn could not be ridden.

TRADING FOR MM
CHAIRMAN IIERNLY RELIEVES THE SCHEME IS ON FOOT. It Will Avnll the Democratic Leaders Nothing, ns the State Is Safely Republican. A COLORED MEN'S MEETING IT WILL DE HELD IN TOMLINSOX HALL THE NIGHT OF XOV. 2. A Prominent Colored Ornior Will Re the Speaker Political New of Interest. At Republican state committee headquarters It is positively asserted that the Democrats throughout the State are offering to trade Bryan off for Kern. "I have positive information." said Chairman Hernly yesterday, "that the Democrats are abandoning Bryan wherever they can and are offering two votes for McKinley for one for Mr. Kern, and that it extends over au tu, state offices and the county offices, and even one complaint has come from the election of a road supervisor in one of the rpad' districts in Indiana, where a Democratic candidate for road supervisor had offered to trade twenty votes for McKinley for ten for himself in his road district, and I know that these offers have been made earnestly and been repeated often. "They come from all parts of the State, and It proves clearly to my mind the intention of the Democrats to abandon Bryan wherever they can and trade to elect themselves. I know they have no confidence in Bryan's election, and the spirit seems to be among the Democrats that Mr. Bryan has used his party for his own selfish purposes and aggrandizement, and they propose to get even with him now. It seems to be a j-ear for evening up with Mr. Bryan, and this wholesale trading that is going on, from Governor down to road supervisor, shows the utter lack of harmony among the Democrats and the utter desperation that they are driven to to procure votes to help themselves. I don't think it will affect Colonel Durbin in the least, because I believe there are many free silver voters in Indiana wno win vote for Mr. Bryan and Mr. Burkhart, the Middle-of-the-road Populist candidate for Governor, and that they will not suffer the scheming and conniving Democrats to daughter Mr. Bryan in this wholesale manner that they have started out to do. I believe there are voters In Indiana who honestly believe In Bryan and free silver. and that they will have enough Interest to trv to nrotect him in the comintr election. but I feel very sure that they will not be able to do it, and that Bryan is the man who will suffer In the long run, and I am sure he will suffer much more than any man on the Republican ticket." RALLY AT DANA IND. A Special Train Will Be Ran from This City on Nov. 3. The great success of the flying trip made to Dana, Ind., a short time before election day four years ago by prominent Republican speakers and politicians of thl3 city has resulted in the completion of arrangements for a similar Junket to be made Sat urday of next week. It will readily be recalled that a special train was chartered in 1S'J6 and that a crowd of enthusiastic Indianapolis Republicans, accompanied by a firing squad of the Light Artillery company. Invaded the town of Dana and held one of the most rousing meetings of the entire campaign. The general plan of that event will be followed next week. Arrangements have been practically com pleted, and the trip is to be made under the auspices and direction of the Republican state committee. The artillery boys who will accompany the party will be selected from those who saw service in Porto Rico. The firing fcquad will have a flat car all to Itself, and frequent stops will be made at intermediate towns to give the young men plenty of opportunities to vent their enthusiasm by letting off salutes that are expected to bring to the stations all peo ple of good hearing who live within a radius of ten miles. Col. I. S. Gordon, who will be a conspicuous member of the party. fcald last night that no trouble is anticipated In getting a crowd large enough to fill all the coaches of the train. The colonel further said that anybody who wants to experience a good time would do well to put in an early application for a place on the train. He also recommended the occa sion as an excellent one for old men to renew their youth. The special will be in personal charge of John S. Lazarus. general passenger and freight agent of the I., D. & W. Railroad. The speakers who have thus far signified their willingness to go along and help make things Interesting on the road and at Dana are Capt. William E. English. John B. Cockrum, general solicitor of the Lake Erie & western, and Attorney General William L. Taylor. There will be other orators In the party. Colonel Gordon tells an interesting and amusing story or tne trip four years a?o. lie says that in a brief speech which he made at the town of Montezuma he assured the people of that place that he and ether gentlemen had been prospecting in that vicinity and that If the currency of the country should be established on a sound basis (1. e., if McKinley should be elected a large brick making plant would be built close to Montezuma. "A prominent citizen told me at the time." said Colonel Gordon. "that if my promise was not carried into enect the people of Montezuma would shoot me the next time I showed myself in the place. But. as a matter of fact one of the largest brick and tile works in the whole country has been erected and is In full operation right close to Montezuma.. So I guess I can make the trip this year all right." The schedule for the Dana trip next week has not yet been made up, but it is known that the start from Indianapolis will be made in the afternoon and the rallv at Dana will take place in the evening of Sat1 - n uruaj, iQV. 4. I1CRKE CALLS THEM "NIGGERS. That Is the Way He Referred to the Colored 3Ien. Inconsistent as the selection of a military armory for a Democratic meeting may seem, Frank B. Burke, Democratic candi date for Congress, spoke In the headquar ters of Battery A, at Sixteenth street and Senate avenue, last night. Standing on a section of the harness lockers and facing three pieces of artillery, two Gatllng guns and the National Guard ambulance, he dis coursed on the "evils of militarism and imperialism." The principal argument was his asking the audience what the "flag stood for." and repeated declarations that he wished for a chance to cast his vote in Congress for the recall of the army and navy from the Philippines. In the course of his argument he told of a cartoon in a comic paper. The story was that when a negro ("nigger," Mr. Burke called him) was caught stealing chickens by the owner of the coop he defied the man to shoot be cause ho had a flag on his trousers for a patch. While he did not say in explicit words that there are times when the tla should bo fired on, his remarks served that purpose in referring to the Philippine war. A part of his soeech was devoted to defending his anti-labor record in the State Senate. At the close of the meeting ex-Secretary Byrd, a Democrat who represented Clay county in the Senate when Mr. Burke wa3 the representative from Clark county, took the platform to defend Mr. Burke. He said he attended the meeting because he "felt it his duty." Regarding Mr. Burke's rec ord, he said the senator may not have been in the room when certain votes were taken: that perhaps he was "out urnoking," but he knew Burke was for all the labor bills because Burke had told him so. lie said
he knew Burke worked for the labor bills, no matter whether ho voted for them or not.
COLORED MEN'S MEETING. It Will lie Held at Tomllnson Hall MKht of Nov. S. The Republican county committee Is ar ranging for a bis mass meeting of colored voters for the evening of Nov. 1 It was decided to hold this meeting at a confer--ence held at the county committee rooms on Tuesday night. The meeting will be held In Tomlinson Hall and an effort will be made to get a speaker of national reputation. County Chairman Akin said yesterday he thought it likely that Bishop Derrick, of New York, would be secured for the occasion. Bishop Derrick, who is one of the most forceful and eloquent of the colored orators of the country. Is some times referred to as "Cyclone" Derrick. At the meeting Tuesday nicht Dr. S. A. Furnlss was appointed to take charge of arrangements for tho meeting. Dr. Furnlss will select an .executive committee to assist him. A large number of vice presidents will be appointed among the prominent colored Republicans of the city. It Is believed that this will be a great outpouring or colored voters and also of white voters, for this will probably be the last big demonstration of the campaign. The meetings of colored men held within the last few days have convinced the Republican leaders that tne colored voters are intensely Interested In the work, and It Is felt that they will be only too glad to attend a mass meeting and listen to one of the most noted orators of their race. This colored mass meeting is likely to be the last Republican demonstration of prominence this campaign, unless It is decided to bring out the Rough Riders for one after noon. A movement of this sort has been talked of. If It should be carried out there will be no speechmaklng only a parade of tne Rough Riders of the county. DEMOCRATIC FALSEHOODS. Light Thrown I'pon a Sentinel Dis patch from Kokomo. A Kokomo Republican who has for years been connected with the Republican organization In Howard county, who was in town yesterday, showed a Sentinel dispatch dated Oct. 20 which, he said, contained more falsehoods than are often got Into a like space. He declares that an ex-Repub lican postmaster and sixteen other Republican ex-soldiers who were in his company have come out for Bryan. "The ex-postmaster." said the Kokomo committeeman. "has been a Democrat twenty-four years. He was postmaster by the appointment of Andrew Johnson and was deputy under his relatives later. Instead of there being six teen of his company In Howard county there are only four, one of whom has al ways been a Democrat and the other three are Republicans, one being our candidate for township assessor. I wish to add that all the changes are in our favor in this locality. I could give you the names of twenty Gold Democrats, but It is not advisable. They include the Cleveland postmaster, an ex-Judge of the Circuit Court, another leading lawyer, an ex-chairman of of the Democratic county committee, two leading business men, one bank president. I am In close touch with all the ex-soldiers, and none will vote for Bryan who did not vote for him before. We gave 1,004 plurality in um and will give about 1,500 Nov. 6." IN "WEST INDIANAPOLIS. A Blsr Republican Meeting Will De Held There To-NIght. A parade of West Indianapolis voters and the Nordyke & Marraon Republican Club, the Atlas Republican Club, the Atkins Re publican Club and the C. W. Fairbanks Republican Club, headed by the Marlon Marching Club and Its band, will precede the demonstration In West Indianapolis tonlghL The meeting will be out of doors, at the corner of Division street and River avenue. Representative Overstreet and Frederick E. Matson will be the speakers. SENATOR HANN A IN INDIANA. He Will Speak at South Rend, Goshen, Warsaw and Fort Wayne. The Republican national committee an nounced yesterday that Senator Hanna will speak In Indiana on Oct. 31 at the following points: South Bend at 11. Goshen 1:30, Warsaw 2:30, winding up with an evening meeting at Fort u ayne. ) The first Intention was for Senator Hanna to speak only at South Bend and Goshen, but yesterday the arrangements were per fected for the two extra meetings. Senator Hanna will be given rousing receptions In each of the four cities. THE DRIFT OF THINGS. It Looks Dark for Democrats In In dlana. "I have been In all parts of the State," said Secretary of State Hunt yesterday. "during the past six weeks. I have found large and attentive audiences everywhere. This is particularly the case in agricultural and manufacturing communities. Unless I am grossly deceived, we shall make gains in all the agricultural sections of the State. 1 found In Lake county that the naturalized Polanders who have voted with the Democrats will be largely with us this year, because of better employment and increased wages. In my Judgment the best localities in which to do effective work Is In the Democratic counties devoted to agriculture." "Do not believe the Democratic reports regarding disaffection of veterans," said Capt. Nicholas Ensley yesterday, "for I know that such Is not .now the case, what ever it may have been earlier In the season. I do not believe that there has ever been such a thorough canvass of ex-soldlers as ha been made this year. I will not give yoti details now, but after the election I will show you how the work has been done. I believe that It can be said generally that the ex-soldlers who voted for McKinley In 1806 will vote for him Nov. 6." "Half the men I meet, day after day the year through, are Democrats," said a well-known business man and Mason yester day. "Usually they are ready to talk politicseager, in fact when an election is on. Four years ago they, most of them, were enthusiastic Bryan men, but this year they are dumb; in fact, they will stand silently any amount of political banter. What does it mean? There are two Democrats in my family. Four years ago one voted for Palmer and the other for Bryan. This year both will vote for McKinley." Gold Democratic Meetings. Colonel Martin, of national Gold Demo cratic headquarters, says it is not settled jet whether the Gold Democrats will hold any other large meetings in the State this campaign. Colonel Martin yesterday re ceived a telegram from J. Sterling Mor ton announcing that on account of the condition of his throat he will be unable to make speeches in this State. Yesterday Colonel Martin wrote to Don M. Dickinson, asking him to come to Indiana and do some talking. Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, was also Invited several days ago, but no word has been received from him. An Address of Germaus. A two-column address declaring that silver is the paramcunt issue in this campaign appeared in yesterday morning's German Telegraph. It varned the Democrats not to be diverted from the real Issue by cries of imperialism and militarism. The address was signed by Louis Hollweg, Guido Bell, J. P. Frcnzel, Henry Schnull, Clemens Vonnegut, sr.. Frederick P. Rush.' Albert Lieber und about thlrty-flve other prominent Germans. The address was inserted at advertising rates, as both German papers in the city are supporting Bryan. , In the Ninth District. Fred A. Sims, of Frankfort, member of the Republican state committee from the Ninth district, and John A. Bonnell, of Crawfordsville, were In the city yesterday, visiting state committee headquarters. Both are confident that the Ninth district is solid for the Republican ticket all the way through. They say the middle-of-the-road Populists have a candidate for Congress in the field, and that the Democrats

The announcement was made yesterday morning that the Atlas Republican Club would attend the rally at Lebanon last night. Officers of the club said they were not advised of the proposed trip, and therefore did not go to Lebanon, as they would have done had the notice been given them. Republican Meetings. At Allen Chapel last night F. E. Matson, Gurley Brewer and George L. Knox addressed a large audience of colored voters. V. E.
