CARSON XYELL-KXOWIf POLITICAL TROPIIET makes nicoiCTioN'. tie Has Canvassed the State and Says 2IcKllejra I'lnrnlltr "Will lie About Eighteen Thousand. Major John M. Carson, the man who predicted with unerring accuracy that Kentucky would go for McKinley In 1SD6, and that General Harrison would be defeated In Is In the city on his way to Kentucky to make some more predictions. 2-IaJor Carson represents the Philadelphia Ledger and Is one of the most popular of the "Washington new?papcr correspondents. It Is tald of him that he rarely ever misses the mark In hla predictions, and he is looked upon as a man of most sound judgment and shrewd political foresight. Major Carson In 15in predicted that Indiana would cast its electoral vote for McKinley. Ho was confident then that the Republicans would carry the State, and he is Just as confident now. "I place the figure at something like 13,000, or about the tame as the Republicans carried the State Iefore," he said last night. Major Carson was in the State for several days two or three weeks ago, and at the conclusion of Ids work here he made the prediction that the State was safely Republican. He said last night that when he started from the East to visit Indiana he had the feeling that the State was going for Bryan. He based this feeling on the different claims of the Democracy and also a historical condition to the effect that Indiana Hops" about every four years. "After carefully Investigating all the claims made by the Democrats," he said, "and talking with the people of the State. 1 decided that the conditions did not justify the Democrats in paaking the claims they were making." I THE GERMAN VOTE. One of the cities Major Carson visited Svas Evansville. There he m;ide some inquiry about the German vote, having heard trom the Democrats that this vote was 0fT on the question of imperialism. In a conversation with one of the leading men of Evansville he was told that the German vote stood Just where it did in 1S36, when II was cast for McKinley and sound money. Major Carson found that the business men of Evansville are pretty generally for the Republican ticket, and he concludes that Vanderburg will make Republican gains this year. He says he has been unable to find any Republicans In this State who arc going to vote for Bryan, except those who left the party four years ago on account cf the free silver issue. Major Carson made careful Investigations In the gas belt. whre there are many large factories, and so far as he could learn the Republicans have nothing to fear from the conditions there. He believes that the visit of ifryan to the gas belt region and the style of oratory indulged in there will really be of benefit to the Republicans. Major Cron says he is unable to see where Bryan has any chance of election. He concede Bryan from 1Ö0 to lTi) electoral votes and does not believe he will get more than that. In P. when Major Carson predicted that Kentucky would cast Its electoral vote Xor McKinley, people laughed at him and declared he had taken leave of his senses. Jle relates an incident that had a good deal to do with the formation of his opinion on Kentucky in 1MJ. He was introduced to a prominent wholesale merchant In Louisville uv.d had a private talk with , "I was a soldier in the Confederate army." said the Louisville man, "and I have always tn a Democrat. 1 inherited Democracy. But this is not politics; It is business. I propo to vote for McKinley because I believe it Is In the interests of my business to do o." Major Carson is a warm friend of Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, and thinks that the campaigning which Mr. Wilson has done In Indiana will im productive of good result.

He Thinks Indiana Will Go Republican by Biic .Majority. . Senator Beveridge, who has now spoken In every section of Indiana, was in the city last night and said that the indications are that McKinley' majority i1J the State 13 more likely to exceed 40,000 than to fall below 20,000. "The Republican majority will be by far the greatest in the history of the State," said he. "The present campaign is not like a political campaign at all. It is not a political campaign, either. It is a great political uprising. It is an awakening of the people such as occurs only once in a generation or more. Therefore thej little tape measures with which we have been accustomed to measure probable political results do not apply to this campaign. The method of reckoning adopted by politicians for the last generation, of counting on this bunch of voters and that bunch of voters, is made obsolete by present conditions. The spirit of new and more powerful Americanism is sweeping over the country. Therefore our political meetings are great patriotic outpourings. "The young men are flocking to the Republican standard in battalions, regardless of former political connections. There is not a precinct in Indiana in which we will not get the majority of the young men vote. 1 have met personally at many meetings in Indiana young men whose families are Democrats, who frankly and gladly declared that they were not only going to vote for McKinley, but that they had Joined the Republican party for their lives. A. large majority of the Gold Democratic vote will be cast for McKinley. Nearly all ot those who voted for Palmer and liuckner will vote for McKinley. Practically all who voted for McKinley before will vote for him now. Fully one-half of the reception committee of Evansville citizens who met me at Princeton to accompany mo to Evansville were business men who all their lives have been Democrats. They are more earnest for McKinley than they .were four years ago for Palmer and Buckner. Instead of the Germans leaving us, our vote will be increased wherever there is a German community in Indiana. One of the oldest and most powerful Germans of the State, living in one of the western citlea of Indiana, entertained me for considerable time the other day giving me i:ames of German Democrats who voted for Bryan four years ago, but who will vote for McKinley this year and who expect to vote the Republican ticket permanently, as they now understand national political divisions. This influential German has always been a Democrat. All over Indiana men who four years ago declared themselves Gold Democrats are now openly declaring themselves Republicans and instructing our polltakers to so count them. In addition to these elements our party will vote its full strength. I do not think anybody yet understands the tremendous movement that is sweeping over the State I think the elections will astound and confound the politicians who are viewing this campaign as an ordinary political campaign. As I said, it is an awakening of a great people. Our policy of expansion, of advance, of capturing new markets, is only the expression in concrete form of this awakening of the Nation. This Is manifested even in the wonderful interest laken by the women in political meetings. In the great country rallies in our State many hundreds of young women always attend, dressed in the national colors and wearing the military hat. They arc intensely American, intensely for the flag, intensely for the soldiers you might almost say Intensely militant. "It is a campaign of Americanism. Yes, extreme as the opinion may seem, viewed by the standard of former elections, I think Nov. 7 will show a Republican majority In Indiana exceeding 40,000. Our watchword has been to keep the mills open and keep the flag flying. It has been a campaign of patriotism and prosperity. But even these words do not quite express it. I know of nothing that does express It except that It is the arousing of a great people to the consciousness of their greatness, their power and their opportunities. It Is the new birth of national spirit. "Kentucky will certainly go for Yerkes for Governor. We have General Buckncr, General Basil Duke and the old-line Democrats with us. The McKinley electors will undoubtedly receive a majority of the votes, but as to whether they will be counted under the Goebel law remains to be seen. In Missouri, Mr. Kerens tells me, they have bright prospects of carrying the Legislature. Kansas will go 25,0 for McKinley, while in Nebraska we have a splendid chance for victory." FRIDAY NIGHT 32 ASS MEETING. The Colored Republicans of the City AVill Ilnve a DIjst Time. It has not yet been decided who will address the mass meeting of colored men to be held at Tomllnson Hall Friday night, but the committees in charge are endeavoring to secure either Bishop Derrick, of New York, or Judson Lyons, registrar of the United States treasury.

Edward H. Strong' Observations In Seventeen States. Edward II. Strong, a traveling representative of the Hoosler Manufacturing Company, of Indianapolis, arrived in the city yesterday from Cincinnati, after a tour of seventeen States, since the nomination of McKinley at the Philadelphia convention. Mr. Strong says he has met thousands of commercial travelers and says the statement made by Democratic leaders that traveling men will support the Democratic ticket Is untrue. Of the thousands of commercial travelers with whom he came in contact in the last few months he only met two who were for Bryan. In Lima,. O., recently he took a poll of the thirty-one traveling men at a hotel, where he was stopping and found twenty-nine of them for McKinley, and the other two doubtful. Coming to Indianapolis from Cincinnati yesterday on one of the excursion trains of ten cars, well crowded, he took a poll of the men on the train with the following result: For McKinley, 113; Bryan, 51; Debs, 6; doubtful, 16; objected to stating for whom they would vote, 6; Woolley, 3, and twelve, who will lose their votes as they will be unable to be at their homes. Mr. Strong says he never saw such bright prospects for the Republican party. TllK Rally at Coal City. One of the largest and most enthusiastic rallies ever held in Clay county occurred at Coal City Saturday night. Delegations were present from Clay, Owen and Green counties, and a big parade was a feature of the meeting. Daniel E. Storms, of Lafayette, was the speaker, and his speech, which was a logical and eloquent presentation of the Issues, was listened to by over 2,000 people. Political Notes.

Washington correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle, Raymond Patterson, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, and N. O. Messenger, of the Washington Star, are here to write predictions on the election in this State. WAS RANK COPPERHEAD AULAI K. STEVKXSOV DISLOYAL DURING THE CIVIL WAR. Affidavit Thnt Says He Wn a Grand Worthy Master of the Knights of the Golden Circle. In view of the fact that Adlal E. Stevenson, candidate for Vice President on the Bryan ticket, will spend this week in Indiana in an effort to win votes for himself and political partner, the following dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., to the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat is interesting reading: "The Lincoln State Journal, In its issue of to-morrow, will print an extended communication from John C. Fullenwider, a business man of responsibility, in which he makes affidavit that he attended at Bloomlngton, 111., a meeting of a lodge of the Knights of the Golden Circle, of which Adlal E. Stevenson was grand worthy master. The affidavit follows: " T, John C. Fullenwider, who was a resident of Bloomlngton, McLean county, Illinois, in 1S60, did enlist in Company A, First Illinois cavalry regiment. John McNulta was my captain, Thomas A. Marshall was my colonel. Afterwards I enlisted in Company H, Fifteenth Iowa infantry regiment,. Captain Edwards was company commander and Col. Win. II. Belknap regimental commander. Afterwards I was transferred to the Twelfth Louisiana, later Fiftieth colored infantry regiment. " T do solemnly swear that while my company A, First Illinois cavalry was in Bloomlngton, 111., I was approached by one Jeremiah Hull, a Democrat, who Invited me to come to a hall on the south side of the courthouse square in Bloomlngton, III., said hall being the property of one Chalkley Bell, a Democrat. Mr. Hull asked me to come with his son David. We went to said hall, found it lighted by lamps, and a guard stationed at the door, but they allowed us to pass in. The meeting was called to order by a man from an adjoining county, who was Adlal E. Stevenson, and addressed as grand worthy master. He ordered the constitution and by-laws read, and they were adopted. The audience was seated all around the building. " 'The grand worthy master asked all to stand up and remain standing while they took oath of allegiance, which, as I now remember, read: " You and each of you do hereby solemnly'swear that you will not divulge any of the transactions or remarks, and you will be loyal and true to your fellow-men and brothers, and you will bear true and faithful allegiance to the officers of thl3 conclave. And that you will not take up arms against our friends in the South, who are battling for their God-given rights, in protecting their homes and families and their property. You do each denounce tha Republican party, their President, Abraham Lincoln, as usurpers in waging war against the people of the South. You do each declare, as far as possible, you will encourage our friends and relatives in their struggles. So help you God. All who subscribe to the oath read step to the front." " 'David Hull and myself stood still. We were asked for our objections. We Informed them we were United States soldiers and had taken the oath, and couli or would not take any such oath or countenance their society or action. We would withdraw. They tried to pacify us. We gave them to understand that that was no place for a Union soldier, and we must not be detained. They told us we must make oath that we would not divulge unything we had seen or heard inside the hall. W? told them we came In without making oath, and we would go out without making oath: that we had a Colt's revolver each and the man that interfered would be bhot. " 'We parleyed awhile. We told them we wero not going to get out the brass band and proclaim what had happened in the hail, and they let us depart in peace. Respectiully submitted. "JOHN C. FULLEN WIDER.'

THE ELECTION BETTING

WHAT A VISIT TO THE LOCAL TOOLROOMS SHOWS. Several Thonsanil Dollars Are Posted and the Odds Are Abont Three to One on McKinley. Election betting is not very brisk. There is a lack of straight bets by both Republicans and Democrats. Most of the bets taken have been those slated by enthusiasts offering unusual odds as compared with others at the same time. The Denlson House slate had Saturday night about $18,000 awaiting the result of the official count, upon which all bets will be paid, regardless of contests. At Harry Walker's it was said about $13,000 was awaiting the result of the election. The boards in the rooms do not offer anything very tempting.

They Are Based Upon Actual Contact with the Voters of th. State Republicans Gainlnsr. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, who has. been making speeches in Indiana, spent Sunday at the Denlson. He has three more appointments In this State, and will then return to his home in Iowa, to remain until after the election. Secretary Wilson takes the most hopeful view of the political situation and particularly of the way affairs are progressing in Indiana. He eaid yesterday that he "believed Indiana would give McKinley a much larger majority this year than in 1896. "In a letter I wrote to-day," remarked Secretary Wilson, T said that if I should base prediction on the enthusiasm of the Indiana chairmen I have met, and on the reports that all the chairmen have made to the State committee, I should say Indiana would be Republican by about 50,000. Conservative men in the State feel that the Republicans will carry Indiana by SS.OOO." Secretary Wilson has made speeches in the counties of Wayne, Hendricks, Boone, Johnson, Jay and Henry. He has had large audiences and the best of attention everywhere. Being a practical farmer himself he has' come Into touch with many Indiana farmers. Before and after his addresses he meets and discusses affairs with the farmers. In his opinion there is a gradual drift of the farmer element those who voted for Bryan in 1896 toward McKinley. "Of course, there are Democratic farmers," said Secretary Wilson, "but the most of them are men who have long been 'Democrats and who will probably never vote any other ticket., Mr. Wilson says the condition of what Is called tha "labor vote" if particularly flattering to Republicans la Indiana. He has found that the factory men are also drifting toward McKinley. Dunkirk, one of the towns visited by Secretary Wilson. is a thriving gas town, and there are many glass workers there. Mr. Wilson says these men will all vote the Republican Ucket. Mr. Bryan has threatened to do away with the corporations which give them employment and they can see no reason why they should support him. As to general conditions, Mr. Wilson is also very optimistic. "The whole country west of Missouri seems to be eliding toward McKinley," he said. He believes the Republicans will carry Kansas by 5,000, and he thinks if McKinley does not carry Colorado he will lose it by only a small vote. He bases his opinion on New York State on what the . leading men of tho State have told him. They all say that New York State is safe for the Republicans.
