At 8 o’clock It was estimated that there were fully M.nnO people In the garden. About that time Bourke Cockran. Senator Bill. Senator Wellington. Anson Phelps Stokes and William R. Hearst reached the place, and they received an

ovation.

Anson Phelps Stokes, the presiding officer. had uttered only a few words when he was Interrupted by loud cheers. Mrs. Bryan had entered her box. , She was wildly greeted and responded with smiles and bows. The band played "America" while the cheering lasted. As soon as quiet was restored Mr. Stokes resumed his speech. He said: "The constitution? Who has violated

The clubs have been of great assistance In perfecting the organization of the party and In collecting money for the campaign, and the liberality of the president of the association has been an Inspiration to the nu'mlwrs of the clubs. The work remaining for the clubs to do Is to get our vote to the polls and guard the count.

SHAKE-UP OF THE NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Probable Composition of the House and Senate—Claims Made by Both Parties—In the Doubtful Districts—Republican Majority.

HE GENERAL ASSEMBLY of InI dlana consists of fifty Senators ami * one hundred Representatives. All the Representatives are elected at once, and serve for two years, but the Senators serve four years, or two terms of the General Assembly, and only half of them are elected every two years, so that the other nail "holds over" from the preceding term Both parties tire making a strong fight to capture the Legislature, especially the Senate, as the State Senators elected this year will vote fur a I'Idled States Senator In ISKB. The legislative situation is about as follows. In the list for the Senate "H O." Indicates a hold over Senator and "X" a man cer-

The Republicans hope to carry both Clinton and Carroll counties for the State and national tickets and may get both of them for the congressional ticket. The question of electing a Senator for the two counties Is receiving a good deal of attention, and there Is a possibility of their success. The Indications, however, are that the Democratic candidate will be

elected. ,

In 1898 Laporte county went 408 Democratic on the State ticket, and Starke county went slxly-one Democratic on the State ticket. The Republicans are claiming Laporte county this year and In that case the senatorial district will go to

them.

In Vigo county there Is such a fight on the county ticket by the Republicans that the election of a Senator Is much In doubt at this time. In 1898 DeKalb county went Demoeratlc by 171, and Noble county went 835 Republican, but In 1896 DeKalb county was Democratic by 54t and Noble county was Republican

by 301.

Joseph H Shea, one of the most popular Democrats In Indiana In 189*. was elected In Clark. Jennings and Scott by only 98 plurality, and the district will probably go Republican this year. In 1896 Madison county elected Its Republican State Senator by 798, and James Morrison, the Democratic nominee for Representative, was elected by 118 In 1898. Mr. Morrison this year Is the Democratic nominee for State Senator.

Second avenue presented a sight which has seldom been seen. Democrats swarmed into the avenue until It was simply Impassable from Tenth to Twenty-second streets. A stand erected at the corner of Fourteenth street was surrounded by a living mass of people. For more than half an hour Assistant District Attorney Osborne entertained the crowd. It was soon after 9 o'clock when the presidential candidate was announced. He was received with cheers which even he could not subside for several minutes.

TO FIGHT TAMMANY. New Democratic Faction Hay Rise

in New York.

[ftpecla! to The Indtsnapoll, News !

NEW YORK. October 29.—That there Is a definite movement among the Democrats of the city to forfm aft Independent organization with the avowed Intention of fighting Tammany is practically certain. From men familiar with the party s affairs It has been learned that the Independent Democrats In the Citizens' Union have agitated the question of forming a separate city Democratic party that shall stand, through Its organization, for

all that Tammany does not.

People In Tammany, It is said, are not

ther enthusiastic over Richard Cro-

ker'a leadership, but stay under tt be-

altogei

**g ^

they do not want to turn Republican. and the Citizens' Union does not yet seem to offer a permanent refuge. But there are other men who favor the formation of a new party principally because they are out of favor with Tammany. and wish to down Mr. Croker and his organization to gratify their animosity. These malcontents. It has been pointed out by a member of the Citizens' Union, represented by John C. Sheehan, might not be so enthusiastic in fighting Tammany after driving the boss from power. It Is feared that In the coming municipal campaign there might be enough Insidious Tammany representation In the new party to start a quarrel with the Citizens' Union and cause a spilt In that vote. This, _lf carried

split In that vote. Thl through. It Is apprehendei

as effective In assuring , _ cess as was the disaffection of the regular Republican organization of the campaign of 1897 In any three-cornered fight, Tammany, being so perfectly organized, feels perfectly confident of win-

ning.

Whence They Come, Whither They Go and How They Live Between Campaigns Are Hysterie*.

Who are the ward heelers, the camp followers, the workers, the messengers, the "handy men" of politics and politicians? Whence come they and what Is their ambition; • what their reward? These questions, many times asked by those who have to do with politics, but are not of the profession, are rarely If ever answered. In the prevailing system of political organization tn large cities there are scores of men unknown to fame whose work is essential to the success of splendid plans formulated by great party leaders. When party headquarters are opened, or a great leader hires a room at a hotel, messengers, doorkeepers and general utility men seem to rise out of the ground. No one knows, iparently, where they come from or they are there, but they make themuseful and stay. They will stand for hours In front of the door of a room where a secret conference la going on. They carry and deliver written or verbal messages, ward off Inquisitive callers, bring Ice-water, check baggage and In a score of quiet and unobtrusive ways relieve politicians of small work and petty

worry.

When conventions are In session the handy man Is Just as essential as a platform or a presiding officer. He may be a doorkeeper, usher, messenger, decorator or man of all work. No one employs

Evolutions of the Handy Man.

The camp follower, the handy man of the boss and the ambitious leader. Is the man who takes politics seriously. Platforms, policies and the greater questions Interest him only distantly; much as the movements of the planets Interest th* dull student of astronomy. They are

the dim and distant future, he may hold office. That Is the dream that makes his drudgery a pastime, his disappointments

mere lessons In patience.

These men receive some compensation for their service, rarely a fixed salary. Small gratuities here and there, a tip for passing a man without a ticket into a good seat on the platform of a convention hall, the change from a bill to pay for a telegram, or a small bill for the prompt delivery of a note to a boss. Such are the chief sources of their Income, but the pride of proximity to greatness Is

their most valued perquisite.

These camp followers, handy men and ward heelers In the politics of great cities are the failures from the fields of labor and the men who never labor with hand nr brain. They are the politicians of the grog shops and the street corners. They grow out of the back rooma of saloons, the warming place of Idlers, faster than fungi on the rotting tree trunks of a tropical forest. Every corner saloon In a great city Is a political storm center for the Immediate locality.

Neutral Ground.

A saloon In the mlddls of a block may be neutral ground without partisan Influence, therefore unproductive soli for the handy man; but the one on the corner must bum red fire for a Republican chowder or harbor an opposition growler party. District captains In a close fight keep tab on the numtor of times the growler Is rushed at the Democratic comer and tha can pus) ed over at the Republican bar and thereby get an early poll ot the district vote. Local movements are swayed by the roll of the beer keg and petty political club# dissolve qelckiy when fmt removed from

The camp follower, the handy man, may then go back to the grog shop where he washed kegs ami touch glasses with the boss while the "boys" stand treat In turn.

and Failure of the Camp

Follower.

Some of the legitimate labor and reward of politics falls to the lot of the camp followers on the days of registration and on election day. If their records and education will permit they may be appointed election officers and paid out of the public treasury. If not they are always available as workers or watchers at the polls, for which the compensation is fair, sometimes liberal. How they live, what they do. where they go between campaigns, constitute so many of the unwritten chapters of the current history ot American politics. No one seems to know; certainly no one cares. If the present camp followers vanished from earth overnight to return no more, to-morrow the doors at every headquarters would be manned at the ustta'. hour, the mall of the boss would be on his desk at the right moment and willing hands would be stretched to take his hat and coat. There will always be an Inexhaustible supply of political camp followers, the men who will follow a leader and bow down to a

boss.

The chief aim of the enterprising handy man Is to get close to a big boss, to render some-menial service of real or apparent value, something thst will command the attention of the great person and secure as a reward public office or employment. Men of other sensibilities and higher aspirations can not adequately appreciate the Intoxication of petty yantty that stimulates the political camp follower when he becomes an office holder. He Is no longer "usher" or "messenger" to start and stand at attention when he hears a bell ring or a door open. To his friends In the old back room he ts “Jack" or "Billy" of the •’ department." when he passes the growler, and he is privileged to speak of the boss or district leader as the "old

man."

There are other camp followqp of politics who ever follow, fetch andcarry, always falling the thrift that should be the reward of their fawning. Many of them have grown old dusting the outer dodrs of the temple# of political power and In their lusterless eyes the light of ambition Is as dim as moonlight beyond an ocean fog. Their pride has waned and failed with their hopes. The crumbs from the table of the master are the feast of their wasted manhood and bitter old age. WALTER L. HAWLEY. Political Notes. George W.

Was About Ready to Become a Populist—His Senatorial Bee—Missive Not for Publication. CHICAGO, October 29.—A special to the Record from Nebraska City, Neb., say): The Conservatives, of which J. Stetltng Morton Is editor, has discovered and will publish two letters written by "llilnm J Bryan when he whs a member f.f Congress, which are likely to have an important Influence on the campaign In this State. Otic Utter shows that Mr. Bryan cared more m he a member of the United States Senate than a member of the Derno< ratio party, as he seriously consider'd turning a Populist In order to Insure his election. The letter Is as fol-

lows :

"Committee of Ways and Means. House of R'lirfsentatlves, Washington, D. C., M.'V 2't, 1894 -Dear Sir: I believe that the easiest way to become United States Senator would be to announce myself as a Populist and be nominated by them, for I believe we could elect a Populist Legislature In that way without doubt. To do that, however, would prevent my doing certain work which I regard as very important. As an avowed Populist 1 would be criticised for going Into the Democratic districts and urging Populists to support free silver Democrats, rnd T would be expected to act In harmonv with the Populist leaders In lines of policy, for they would resent such Independence ns I would think necessary, and a dissension might Injure the party more than I could help It. • • • "It Is barely possible that the legislature will be so divided that I may bo elected Senator. While this would be acceptable and would enable me to carry on the fight on national questions. It Is a matter about which I do not worry, because I am satisfied that I can make more outside of Congress than I can make here, and I would be with my family more and have to work less. “I hope you may find your new work both congenial and remunerative. Wherever there are public, documents which you would like, let me know and I would be glad to send them. Very truly yours, W. J. BRYAN. "Not for publication." Letter on Prohibition. The other letter, the Conservative says, "Indicates hi.' position on the prohibition question, and shows whether It was determlned by principle or expediency." The letter Is as follows: "Lincoln, Neb., October 11, 1890. "Dear Sir and Friend—Your favor Just receiv’d. I expect to attend the convention at Omaha and am glad that you are going, l will try anti leave here at once, so that we call get together and talk over the platform before the convention. I have no doubt we will agree on tariff opinions, but I have been In much trouble over the temperance plank. I. like you and the steal bulk of the party, am opposed to prohibition; we had better content ourselves with a declaration against sumptuary legislation, such as we usually

have.

"We have a number of men who will vote for the amendment, among them Sawyer, Snell, Lewis, Miller, Whitmore, etc. They do not ask us to declare In favor of prohibition, but simply to do as the Republicans have done—leave It to each individual to vote as he likes. By declaring against prohibition we will lore good many votes, while we will not :nln Republican votes. We tried that last In our county, declared In so many words against prohibition, and the sa-

loons went solid against us.

"I wish I could see you before the convention. Can't you come up here Thursday morning and go from here to Omaha, and we can discuss all the planks. Will draw up the plank vou suggest. Yours truly, W.. J. BRYAN."

Mr. Bryan Refuses to Talk.

NEW YORK, October 29—William J Bryan last night, Just ns he was leaving New York, was asked whether the following was a correct quotation from a letter said to have been written by him

May 29, 1894:

”1 believe the easiest wa

ay to become

United States Senator would be to announce myself as a Populist, and be elected by them, for I believe we could elect a Populist Ia>gislature In that way without a doubt.” His answer was this: "I do not care In discuss this matter. It Is not a part of this campaign."

MEANING OF BRYANISM. Roosevelt Defines It at Binghampton—Puts a Question. BINGHAMTON, N. Y , October 28 - Governor Roosevelt closed a busy week In this city last night. He had traveled 1,260 miles and made fifty speeches. Four large meetings were held here last night, at all of which the Governor spoke briefly. In his principal speech he said: "The paramount Issue In this campaign Is Bryanlsm, and Bryanlsm means, in the sphere of civil honesty, Crokerism; In finance, Pettlgrewtsm; as regards librty and order, Altgeldlsm; as regards n honest ballot, Goebellsm, and as regards our foreign policy, Agulnaldolsm. “The other day at Yonkers, Mr. Bryan said that it was better for Mexico that we did not keep possession of the country. The United States never wished to keep possession of Mexico, but let Mr. Bryan compare the progress that has been made In New Mexico, which we did take, with how It went on before, and he will speedily make up his mind that It has greatly profited by being put under our flag "Incidentally, If Mr. Bryan will look up the history of the Territory of New Mexico, he will see that ho need not be concerned about Porto Rico. We governed New Mexico at first exactly as we are governing Porto Rico. Now we give a large measure of self-government to Its people, Just as we have given such a measure to Porto Rico. For fifty years New Mexico has been kept as a territory. yet Mr Bryan does not talk about the consent of the governed In New Mex-

ico.

"As a matter of fact, I believe New Mexico should now he made a State, but It would have been folly to have ad-

to statehood for the forty-odd

>k possession. In the

same way It would he folly now to administer the government of Porto Rice save as we are actually adminlsterlm

It."

In one of his day sneeches Governor Roosevelt charged Mr. Bryan with failure to answer a question as to his pu pose concerning the payment of the Go ernment's obligations. The Governor sa he would change the form of the question and ask Mr. Bryan If he held the same views that he held while In Congress. when he said the option as to the coin to be paid rested with the G ernnient Instead of with the holder the obligation.

Election Betting In Indianapolis During the Present Campaign —Bets on Pluralities. It la estimate'! that between 835.000 and $4O,0(in has been wagered on the result ot the election ui> to the present time In Indianapolis. One house where bets are posted reports that It holds in the neighborhood of $18,006, which will change hands on the official returns; another holds about $13,600, and another about $6,000. In addition to these amounts there has probably been enough money put up in the hands of private stakeholders to bring the total well up to $40,000. The hulk of this money has been wagered, not on the national or State results. but on pluralities and majorities. The prevailing odds on the national and State results are 3 to 1 on McKinley and 10 to 7 on Durbin. Even at these figures

the Democrats saying that If the Republicans are so confident now, still mote so before election day, and offer still better odds. The men who do the most of the betting, however, are not politicians or partisans, but are coldblooded speculators, who bet, not for sentiment or to bock up an opinion, but as an Investment, and they seem to feel that a bet on Bryan at any odds ta too much

like giving money away.

The bet of even money that McKinley will have a plurality In Indiana ot at least 14,000 has found a number of Democratic takers, and bets of this character do not remain posted long before they are snapped up. There Is a great deal of Democratic money offered that McKinley will not have as large a national plurality as he had In '96. and at one place a bet ot $5,000 to R.OOO Is posted on that proposi-

tion. This Is the It

been offered so far this year In this city, and It is understood that the money

people.

Bets on Bryan Increase. One bet of this character stated from the Democratic side Is as follows: $50 to $50 that Bryan gets 100,000 more popular votes than he had In '96, ditto that he gets 200,000 more, ditto that he gets 300,000 more, ditto that he gets 400,00) more, and ditto that he gets 500,000 more; take one take all. This bet has not been

taken

yet. Democratic money Is of-

promptly taken, and another offer of $30 to $15 that he will carry Marion county was also snapped up. Several bets are offered on the result In Kentucky, but the speculators seem to be afraid of that State, and none of the bets has been taken. The Kentucky proposition are even money that Bryan will get more electoral votes tn Kentucky than McKinley, even money that Yerkes will be elected and 150 to 176 that Beckham will be elected. On Marlon county even money Is offered that Koehne's plurality Is less than It was In '96. even money that McKinley's plurality Is 500 less than four years ago and even money that It will be 1,000 less and 25 to 20 that Saulcy will be elected. The last proposition Is the only one that has been taken.

:tlng men say that the betting hai unusually light so far this year fo a national campaign. Often there has been more money put up on a State election alone, but It Is the opinion of the speculators that Republican money will be offered at such odds In the coming week that the Democrats will be unable to resist the temptation to cover a good part of the propositions that will be offered. "The Democrats are evidently ‘laying low' to break the Republican plungers In case Bryan Is elected," said one man who has a blackboard In his
