A large number of precincts remain as they w-ere last fall, but they* are numbered differently, and the committees for the moat part will compare with their poll books. Dast fall Myers, Democrat, for Secretary of State, received 13,863 votes In the cUy. and Owen, Republican, 16,108, a plurality of 2,246.

There were many busy men around the political committee headquarters to-day. •The campaign managers were endeavoring to close up all the gap* In the lines preparatory to to-morrow’s battle. The pollbooks were being revised for the last time, and steps were being taken to get back to the city every legal voter who is absent. During the day both committees telegraphed transportation to many absent men. Tho managers on both sides say they look for a large vote. Until a few days ago It did not appear that there would be a full vote. It has been an "up-hill" campaign on both sides; tut during the last week there has been a revival of interest. The improvement In ths Republican situation has been marked; the Democrats admit this, but they are ■QU confident that Mr. Trusler Is a long way from slection. It Is apparent to an unbiased observer that the confidence is nearly all on the Democratic side. There Is an Impression abroad that the drift is with the Democrats. The bets posted about the city are gensrally on the basis ef two' to one on Taggart. Takers are

scarce.

At Republican headquarters Chairman Smith declared himself serene over the outlook. He said that the diligent work of the candidates and of loyal Republioans recently had made a big difference tn the outlook, and that the Demo orats could not overcome the natural Republican advantage and. the increased Republican vote that came with the re-

gent additions to the city. A TAGGART CIRCULAR.

How To Vote n. Ticket For Taggart

and the Rest Republican.

The Republican managers were excited this afternoon over the discovery that the North Side had been flooded with copies' of a circular letter signed by Mr. Taggart, accompanied by a ballot, properly stamped, showing how Republicans could vote for Taggart and still have the ballot counted for the rest of the Republican ticket. The Impression among Republicans was that It was a scheme on the part of a few Republicans to trade off Trusler for the remainder of the Repub-

lican ticket.

It waa announced at the, Democratic committee rooms this afternoon that Republicans had expressed a willingness Mo sacrifice Mr. Trusler for other candidates. Many persons who received the letter and sample ballot were of the imilon that it was of Republican origin, gart said later that the letter la

they had no objection to make to the circular letter and sample ballot so long as they were sent to Republicans only. THE} MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION. Saloon* Must Close gad No Liquor May Be Sold To-Morrow. Major Denny has Issued the following

proclamation:

•To the public: In view of the election to be held In this city Tuesday, I deem It my duty to call special Attention to th«*

provisions or the law on

preesion Mr. Tag,

on the subject of

soiling and giving away liquors on said day. by SteTione 80W and .'OW of the Revtasd Statutes of 1881. it ts made unlawful

for any person, including druggists, to sell, barter or give away any kind of intoxicating liquor on the day of any muni-

cipal election. By th ■ liquor law of 189& all

•visions of the loon-keeper* are eo-rooms secure-

required to keep their

ly closed and to exclude all persons there-

from.

"Therefore, I, Caleb 8. Denny, mayor of the olty of IndUuriiK>li», hereby direct tha*< said laws be strictly observed during said election by all classes of citizens, and warn all persons who shall violate any provision of said laws, that they will be arrested and prosecuted therefor. All police officers In luUd city will see to It thaQ thle order Is Obeyed." TAGGART TALKSAXINFIDENTLY. »•>•* He la Sure To Be Elected—1)1 malfected Republicans. 1 Mr. Taggart said to-day: "Nothing is more certain than that 1 will be elected mayor. The Republicans have made a hard fight during the dosing days of the sampaign. but, try as they will, they can not marshal the Republican forces for Mr. Trusler.' There are many Republicans who w'ill not support him. I find there are men on every hand who are saying: ‘If Mr. Harrison was not good enough for III Trusler, Mr. Trusler is not good enough for us.’ This feeling is deep laid in th* hearts of many Indianapolis Republicans. The vote will show that I am righ.t. It is also true that there are many Republicans »who do not Indorse Mr. Denny’s administration—the way he has conducted the business of the city. Those men will not vote for Mr. Trusler. ’ The Demobrnts were never In better shape. We snail win to-morrow, hands down." The Populists Bnconrsged. The Populist committee declares It Is encouraged over the outlook, and believes that the returns will show large gains over last fall's vote. "While it Is a fact that the present campaign has been waged by the two eh! parties more on partisan prejudice than on an Intelligent discussion of the quest loos at issue," the committee says It believes thert will be numbers of voters who will refuse to be influenced by such methods, and who will "Vote our ticket, irrespective of the element of success that may attach to ft, in a desire to vote for what they think la right." Th* committee .expects the Populists to profit by "the large disaffection In both the old parties—voters who like neither of the other candidatee, and who will vote the ticket as a protest." “In our candidate for mavor," the committee chairman says, "we have 1 an honest, able man, who,will give thd city a good administration; our platform embraces municipal reforms that will eventually prevail. So there will bo no excuse for any one who has been advooating good government and a divorcer nnnt of municipal and ’ no ticnal polities having a Ttick coming* in the future if he does otherwise than support our. ticket. I feel that our vote will be materially increased, and while we have as much right to claim success as at least one of the old parties, the election will have to decide as to Just where we are 'at'J’ Yesterday Reported Dry. At roll-call yesterday, the last Sunday before election, the patrolmen were notified by the superintendent of police that they would be held responsible for the enforcement of the laws In their respective districts. Written instructions were given to the officers for their guidance In

instructing the patrolmen. Some extra men were also detailed to see that the liquor and Sunday laws were enforced. The superintendent and Captain Campbell were personally in the Held yesterday, seeing that the orders were enforce!, j Superintendent Powell says that Indi- | anapoKs was never diver than It v\a* | Sunday, except on the -unions and in • certain private rooms, when- appearances I Indicated that liquor was on tap. "The | town was closed right." he says, "so far as the licensed places 'Ould be observed. Men were seen going to and from certain private rooms, but there were no tangible violations of the law. On the commons occasionally men were congregated, drinking from a keg, but they scattered upon the approach of a patrolman or of my white horse, and no evidence was available that laws had been violated. There was no ante-election relenting, as all of the reports and my own observation establish.> FnlrbHnka To Republican Traveler*. Charles' W. Fairbanks and William 1>. Owen were the principal speakers at the meeting held Saturday night under the auspices of the Traveling Men's Republitan Club. In the course of his speech Mr. Fairbanks said: “It is perfectly obvious that the Democratic ticket expects to attract the T iwless elements. Those who mock at law and order, who deride those who enforce the laws, who want a 'wide-open policy, instinctively support the Democratic ticket. Why? Why should the law-breaker be attracted by the Democratic ticket and be repelled by the Republican tick.-f’ Haven’t both candidates declared for the impartial enforcement of the law? The reason is plain. The tow-breaker knows ms party as the swallow knows the congenial south. "It is obvious that the Democrats count upon Republican gpathy 1 and Republicu support of their ticket. There are 2,'WO more Republican than Democratic vo’es in the city, and unless Republicans stiy at home or vote against Mr. Trusler because of some whim or caprice he will ne the next mayor as sure as he lives. Why should Republicans hesitate to support their candidate now’? Why should they falter In their allegiance to their par.v, when their party la coming back into the control of the national and State governments? The defeat of the Democratic party is the duty of the hour, and we should not be so remiss in our duty as to give that party the slightest encouragement, which it would take from the defeat of Mr. Trusler, a defeat which can not be accomplished without Republican votes. The associates of Mr. Trusler on the Republican ticket are men of exceptional fitness for their respective offices, and we can successfully challenge a comparison between them and those presented by the Democratic convention. Every candidate on the Republican ticket 1* capable and< honest, and stands for what is best in the administration of our municipal affairs.’’ Inspectors Named.

It was on one of the early Street cars coming down town this morning. At Illinois and Market ©treats the usual horde of newsboys boarded the car, crying: “ ’Ere’s yer morning papers.” In the rear of the car a big .man got up and called for a copy of the Republican organ. A dirty-faced boy clambered over the seats and gave him the paper, and as he received the man’s nickel he cried: *T knew I'd find a Republican on this car. I’ll bet yer a dolfer Taggart’s elected." The boy joined In the general laugh that ensued and then dropped off. , A Work-House Release. Mike Boler has been released from the Work-house by Judge Stubbs, after serving thirty-eight days of a ninety-day fine.J The release, Boler says, is not due to politics, as he says he is a Democrat, and intends to vote for Taggart. Neil Howard, a Big Four engineer, and a Democrat, interceded for Boler, and repreiented that he dould WoW procure work, anti that his release was agreed to by the persons whom Boler had assaulted. Trusler’e Religion. One of the election rumors Is that Preston C. Trusler, Republican nominee for mayor. Is an atheist. Members of the Masonic fraternity have taken an interest' in this rumor, and rbfute it by exhibiting the directory for 1895 of the Ancient Landmark’s Lodge, No. 319, in which his name appears as a member. Tlw members say that membership Would be impossible were he an atheist.

You know they say sometimes that St. Ignatius Is praying always that the order may be perst.-uted. You know we thrive on persecution. We glory In it." Father Sherman joined the Jesuits in St. 1 amis .n 187)5. He served two yeais of l.:s novit'a’.e in England.

Six weeks ago Martin Galm, of "Galm's

It increased so that after about ten dajs he was unable to work. A small pihiple appeared and began to grow. After repeated lanclngs and attempts to check the progress of bloodpoisoning, the trouble persisted, and mortification advanced oyer the hand and beyond. Finally a week ago last Thursday the arm was amputated above the elbow,. It was thought that progress of mortification had at last been checked, but evidences appeared in the stump, and Galm

The State Auditor to-day completed the footings of the enumeration of voters in Indiana as reported by the counties. The enumeration is taken once every six years, under the direction of the township trustees, in order that It may be submitted to the Legislature as a basis for apportioning the State for legislative repsentation. This year’s enumeration shows that there are 627.072 voters in the State. Of this number, 613.760 are white and 13,832 colored. There Is a remarkable discrepancy between the number of voters reported by the trustees and the number of men who are assessed for poll tax by th* county and township assessors. Only 406,673 polls are reported, showing that more than 200,000 men escape poll tax. The following is the enumeration by counties:

“The meeting will adjourn with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Van Dunkirk," said the

At the conclusion of the prayer some one said to Dr. Crafts: "Well, if what you say is true, we’re in a pretty fix. We've got to choose between a saloon-kaeper and an

The Regular Proceedings. The meeting of th© ministers’ association opened with a book review by Dr. Jr L. McIntosh. It was followed by a paptir by the Rev. E. P. Brown, editor of th© Ram’s Horn, on "A Man of Qod." He took Elijah for his subject, and compared him with the Methodist’tltlnlsters of today, to the modem ministers’ discredit. Dr. Crafts, in his addrete, said: "I am glad to be with you to-dgy and to hav© heard the review' of Mr. Balfour’s work In defense of religion.

Mr. Taggart’s Statement. Mr. Taggart was seen at the Grand Hotel this afternoon. Hie said of the statement made by Dr. CljMts: "To characterize me as a saloon-keeper is false. Hr.
