A well-known Republican who has been ttout the State at campaign work the last few weeks wan asked yesterday if he thought the Democrats could do much with the $30,000 Croker money and said: T think it would take a great deal more than 0.000 to make much of a change In Indiana, now. " decidedly id thn current In favor of the Republicans. The men who, Cet the little amounts are much more likely to forget that it la in their pocket. Then they may think that it can bo used to a better advantage for the party to put It tip In bet?. I expect to pee all the Republican bets on tho board that afford a chance taken before Saturday. If they are you can make up your mind that the Croker money haa rone into the bets as an indication of renewed courage." Cpeakinjt of bets, a Republican who Xxnows somethlnK about the political situation and votes in V said: "The larger part of the beta posUd recently ve .o absurd that no man wh Knows anything: of politics would tuch thfm.

Stationmaster Levels Caused Ulm to Offer rrofuse Apologies A Rad Practice. Stationmaster Lewis, of the Union Depot, has arrayed himself against the species of humanity sometimes called the "masher," and which frequently gives the depot officials trouble. Last night one of these young men, who feel they have a right to approach every good-looking woman thoy see on the street unattended, came to grief at the hands of the 6tationmastcr, and suffered the deepest humiliation in the presence of two very pretty and well-dressed girls, whom he had accosted without tho right to do so. About 8 o'clock two young women, who had the appearance of being thoroughly respectable, stood Just outside the south entrance to the station studying the blackboard, which contains the time of the departure and arrival of trains. The girl3 were tastefully though modestly dressed. While intent on reading the time table they were approached by a well-dressed young fellow of good appearance. He boldly walked up to the girl3, and with a smile that was meant to capture both feminine hearts, he remarked, "What time does your train go?" "What train?" asked one of the girls in a voice' that would have frozen the ordinary man. "Why, the train you are waiting for?" said the young man with another smile, although the last one was not so enthusiastic as the first. At this the young woman started away from the blackboard and the young fellow followed. The atmosphere grew decidedly chilly In that neighborhood, but tho girls were unable to shake off their persistent admirer until they started for the women's waiting room. Then the young fellow seemed to realize for the first time that his" company was not appreciated and he desisted. Rut he was not to get off c easy. Officer Frank llolloway, of the force of depot policesaw the Incident and as the "masher" started away, llolloway approached the young women and asked if they knew the man who had just left them. Both indignantly declared that they did not and they then explained to the officer that they had come to the station to meet an acquaintance who was coming in on the train, and while waiting the fresh young man had thrust his attentions on them. While the officer talked to the girls the "masher" was slowly walking toward the north doors, llolloway quickly overtook him. "Look here," said the policeman, "the next time you come down here and approach a woman you are not acquainted with you'll get yourself in mighty serious trouble. Now, take that advice for all it's worth." "What's the trouble here," put in another voice, and Stationmaster Lewis who had been across the street appeared in the doorway, llolloway explained the trouble. "Rrlng those young women into my office," said the Stationmaster, "I want to take a hand In this matter." The "masher" was escorted back to the statlonmaster's office while Hollows went for the girls. Mr. Lewis's prisoner Insisted that ho knew the young women and had met them in a restaurant in this city and even after he faced them he continued with bold effrontery to insist that he was an acquaintance. "Why, don't you young ladies remember having met me in a restaurant," no asked with an Impudent stare. "No, sir," said one of the girls with an Indignant flush, "we never saw you before." "Well," said the young fellow, "I may be mistaken, but I thought 1 knew you." "Iook here," paid the stationmaster, "I don't believe you ever knew these girls, and you had no right to speak to them. I think you are an unprincipled cur, and had I been around when this was going on I think 1 should have punched your face. I have a mind to do it now, and I'll say to you that if you are ever caught In anything of this kind around here again. It will go hard with you." The "masher" looked as if he believed what had been Faid to him and ho proceeded to make the most profuse apoloRtes to the young women. The station master took the names of tho man and the two girls. The card exhibited by the mn Indicated that he is a Chicago travel, ing man. 4 A LOSS OF $2,500. Patrick Ward Lose Six Horses and Several CarrioRm.

SOME, HOWEVEB, NOT POOLED Dl'RKi: AMOXG TIIOSK WHO SAID "IT DID.VT SOLXD L1K12 GROYER." General Charles Trncey's Positive t iterance Political Xews and Gossip The news received here late yesterday evening declaring the alleged Cleveland Interview to be a "fake" was not heard with a great deal of pleasure by the Democracy. All afternoon yesterday tho officials at Democratic headquarters were hugging themselves with delight. At 4 or 5 o'clock, when nothing had been received by them indicating that Mr. Cleveland had not made the statement that he believed Bryan would sweep the cquntry, they were positively hysterical with delight. But not ail the Democrats believed what they read In the afternoon papers, and Frank B. Burke, candidate for Congress, was one of the Incredulous. Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Burke declared he would r.ot believe the statement imputed to Mr. Cleveland until the latter confirmed it with a further statement. Most of those who were not disposed to believe the story said "it did not sound like Grover Cleveland." Gen. Charles Tracey, chairman of the National Democratic committee, who was In the city, was one of those who scouted the Idea of, Cleveland making such a statement. General Tracey is a close personal friend of Mr. Cleveland. After giving his views in the matter to some of the newspapers General Tracey clipped the alleged interview from one of the papers and sent it to Mr. Cleveland, with the statement that he (Tracey) had given the opinion to the newspapers that the interview was a "fake." Late yesterday evening General Tracey made this statement: "I will be willing to give $500 to the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum if any one will bring absolute proof that Mr. Cleveland Faid this." The officials at Republican state committee headquarters were informed about 5 o'clock that Mr. Cleveland had denounced the statement as absolutely false. A member of the executive committee remarked that it would not cut much figure in the result of the election even If Mr. Cleveland had said what he was reported to have said. "It would not make a difference of one hundred votes in Indiana," this executive committeeman declared. Members of the committee about headquarters were not Inclined to believe that Cleveland had unloosed his tongue to this extent, but they felt If he had done so he would prove to be a poor prophet. The Republicans, however, were Jubilant to learn that Mr. Cleveland was standing by his colors and the Democrats were equally downhearted. It was thought that activity in local betting circles was stimulated yesterday by a too credulous faith in tne fake. FOR CORPORAL TAXXER. Arrangements for the 31eetlnr ToMorrovr Xlght.

Wiles, formerly of Anderson and now a well known professor at Ann Arbor College, stating that he had concluded to support McKinley and Roosevelt in the coming election.

In his letter to Superintendent Jones he says In part: "I am glad to say that since th imperialism bugaboo, has been hatched up by Bryan and his Kansas City convention I have changed my opinion in favor of McKinley and hope to come back to Indiana next week and vpte the straight Republican ticket.

Here is a sample taken from the speech which Mr. Tillman made at Hartford City, as quoted In the Sentinel: "Well. I can tell you In a mighty few words why the negroes do not vote in the Carolinas. Whit we have done there Is to preserve our civilization. In North Carolina the negroes are in the majority, just about the iamp as the white people in Indiana are in the majority over the negroes. Js there any man here who would want to be governed by the negroes? If the negroes governed us in the South we would all eventually be mongrels.

OUTRAGE ON SÄULCY

A DEFAMATORY CIRCULAR SEXT OCT BY DEMOCRATS. He Is Charged vrlth Having Shot a Colored 31nn While Secretary of Police Board. MRS. JULIA TODD'S AFFIDAVIT WIDOW OF THE COLORED MAX AB SOLITELY REFUTES CHARGE. She Gave X'o Authority to Use Her Xame and Did Xot Sign Circular other Affidavits. The Democrats In their fight against Eugene Saulcy, Republican candidate for sheriff, have resorted to the most contemptible subterfuges In an attempt to influence voters. They have resorted to lying and defamation of character. One of the most contemptible things done in the attempt to injure Mr. Saulcy was the circulation among colored voters of the following circular: HENRY TODD SHOT BY EUGENE SAULCY IN THE FALL OF 1SS0. HIS WIDOW APPEALS TO HER RACE. Mr. Todd was an honorably discharged soldier and a respected citizen. To the Colored Voters of Marlon County: In the fall of 1SS0 In this city, Eugene Saulcy, in company with a fellow-ofticer and who was then a kind of police detective, saw my husband on an Illinois street car and without any warning unceremoniously and without any warrant therefor grabbed my husband. Jerked him off the car, threw him to the sidewalk and beat him unmercifully with his mace. My husband being a man of powerful physique, notwithstanding the unmerciful beating inflicted upon him by Eugene Saulcy. succeeded in liberating himself from the officer's hand, fearful that his life would be taken. He started to run south on Illinois street, whereupon Saulcy began firing his revolver at my husband and he was wounded in the arm and side and fell to the pavement at .the corner of Ohio and Illinois streets. Immediately the officers came up to him and my husband, entreating them not to kill him, again asked them tho cause of such treatment and without any explanation whatever they loaded him In an express wagon and took him to the police station, and there delivered him to Sheriff Bill Maddox, of Kentucky. He was then told for the first time that he was wanted for murder, and had no idea that he was charged with such a grave crime. Had the officers approached my husband in the usual way and manner of making arrests and advised him that he had even been suspected of a crime he would at once willingly accompanied the officers. As soon as my husband was able he accompanied Bill Maddox, without any writ or requisition, to Shelbyville, Ky., knowing that he was charged with murder. On their arrival there he was Immediately released, it being shown and admitted that he was not guilty of the awful crime charged against him. Later on he returned to his home in this city. By reason of the uncalled for brutal treatment and wounding, paralysis resulted in hia death and I was robbed of a kind husband and a loving and indulgent father to my children. At the time of this outrage lis was, as he always has been, a peaceable, sober, industrious and a law abiding citizen. Henry Todd, my dear husband, was an old soldier in the Union army, honorably discharged and served his country faithfully throughout the war and I am now his widow. He was a member in good standing of the Second Baptist Church under the ministrations of Rev. Moses Broyle andJ rtfer you to any of the members of the church at that time as to my husband s good character and peaceable disposition. This man Saulcy, In the perpetration of fhe outrage above mentioned, was animated solely by race hatred against him. iIIdS? hav aPProached a white man as he did my husband? I answer a thousand times no. He was only a "nigger " therefore, he must cuff, kick and beat him dcS?0t hJ,m an attempt to murder him. This cowardly ruffian who abused my husband without cause, now stands before the public asking the colored voters to elect vm ioVl? o MarIon counI appeal to them as the widow of one whose death was the result of Saulcy's brutality, to remember this outrage at the polls on election day. It is due not only myself and family Jbut our race that this I w1"! condu should be rebuked, and Snl frwhelmlngly defeated at the polls on the 6th day of November next. t r JULIA TODD, 607 W.
