FANCY FIGURES

THE INHARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY. The Democratic party has never had greater difficulty in attempting to present a harmonious front to the country, than at the present time. Before the meeting of the national convention the party was divided into two distinct and warring factions, the one under the banner of Cleveland and the other under the banner of Bryan. All efforts to harmonize these fictions, at the convention, proved futile, and the great question for .hih the party had been contending for eight years was quietly abandoned. A candidate for the presidency was selected not for his ability as a statesman, not for his prominence in the party, not for anything he had said or done but on the contrary solely because of his obscurity. He had not Wen identified with either of the opposing factions and it was supposed they could be united in supporting him. But scarcely had the candidate been named when he threw a bomb into the convention which exploded with disastrous effect. Harmony disappeared and factional hatred became more rampant ;than before. Then the Jlght began for party control, for the management of the campaign. In Uhe West and South Bryanism prevailed, the headquarter of rWelandism was in New York. 'I he ic.mer had the voters, thlatter the money; neither could act effectively without the other. Taggart, from

the West Avon the chairmanship of the national committee, but Belmont, ot New York, put an extra hoop on his barrel and said "Mr. Taggart wont do." Then all the chief sachems of the two tribes met in council to sjriolce the peace pipe. But the one tribe would smoke only a pipe made of gold, the other one made of silver. And there they sat and glared at one another, each side ready to raise the war whoop the moment any movement was made on the other side. Instead of peace it all. ended in n war dance. Mr. Taggart was told to go out West and look after the bays out there, while Mr. Belmont and the other millionaires would dispose of the "sinews of war" in their own way. And their own way is to place Senator Gorman in control of the headqnarteus, at Ney -York, which means Tactically the control of the campaign. But Mr.JfJorman is an old .campaigner, he knows that the man 'who leads a losing fight is always left dead on the field. Therefore while Mr. Oorman will do the commanding he will throw the responsibility of defeat upon some one else. And who can better serve as a shield ' than', the . candidate himself. Therefore it has been ordered that Mr. Parker be required to preside at headquarters for four days every week, to sanction Mr. Gorman's orders and to bear the responsibility of their failure. Thus while Gorman is to be the boss of the campaign, Parker is to be made to bear the blame of its failure. But what is to become of Taggart and Bryanism in the meanwhile? Tini'-rart may possibly be content with the work assigned him of whooping up the boys out West with whatever loose change Belmont and Gorman may choose to allow him, but Thomas religiously believes that the "laborer is worthy of his hire," and he will no doubt insist that the hire this rear should be higher than usual because of the greater difficulty and nncertainty of the work before him. Of Mr. Bryan it is unnecessary to speak. He is no doubt getting enough fun out of the perlexities of his party loaders to richly repay him for the small amount of assistance he will give them in the campaign.

"Jimmie" Stanford, confidential business manager for Joseph Hummel, a jeweler, who is said to have confessed to embezzling funds and stealing diamonds and other jewels belonging to his employer, has denied the confession.

Plainfield, Ind., September 22. The last sessions of the Western Yearly Meetings J'esterday were attend ed by a large crowd. One of the most important steps taken by the Yearly Meeting in its last hours was the acceptance and approval of the report from the evangelistic and church oversight committee. After this year it was proposed that the study and reading course be de

cided upon by a committee acting in co-operation with the Earlham Bible Institute.

The committee on the suppression

of the liquor traffic nominated Thomas C. Brown, superintendent of the Yearly Meeting and Morton C. Pear

son, of Indianapolis, as trustees in

Indiana Anti-Saloon ' League.

All those who objected to trustees

were thiyd party members and ob

jections were continued until the clerk

Lewis C. Stout, said that the vote would be called.

It was evident that the majority of

those present were opposed to trustees, and Morris S. Cox proposed that the Yearly Meeting indorse the work of the Anti-Saloon League and the W. C. T. U. and that work along these lines be authorized. Superintendent Bdown added teh words" and encouraged." Harnessing in a motion the AntiSaloon League with the W. C. T. U. was nof relished by some, but the motion passed by a vote of 78 to 13, those opposing being some of the third party adherents. - Amos K. Hollowell, of Indianapolis, and John T. Stout, of Paoli, wereappointed as trustees for Earlham' College.

Will Have to Se Quoted by Republican Betters to Get Takers. Indianapolis. Sept. 22. There Is no belting on the election here as yet. About a month ago someone posted a bet of $100 to $75 on a down-town boardthat President Roosevelt would be elected. It was taken. Thus encouraged, men who had money to bet at similar odds posted it, but there are no more takers. Another betting board has considerable money split Into small amounts of 10 to 7 that the Republican ticket is successful, but not one has been taken. It is very likely, however, that much money will change hands later. It is too early to say what the odds will be at the finish.' but it is evident that the backers of the Republican ticket will have to quote fancy figures unless there is a great awakening among the Democrats. It seems probable that most of the betting will be on pluralities. Although the result cf the sixty-day poll here is closely guarded and no figures are obtainable, it has leaked out that there is surprising increase In the S6cialist vote in some of the south side wards. This may be derogatory to the Democratic cause, as the Democratic strongholds ara on the south side. At the outset of the campaign some of the Republican leaders predicted that there would be a large defection of Democrats to the Socialist ticket, especially from the ranks of the laboring classes, who were fond of Bryan and who have never been entirely satisfied with the new order of things. However, it is understood that the Socialists have gained many recruits from the Republicans, and that the latter suffer almost as much as the Democrats. If this is true the Republicans stand to lose more at the hands of the minor parties than the Democrats, for there promises to be a large Prohibitionist vote, and it is always the case that the Prohis draw more heavily from the Republicans than from the Democrats. The figure ,cut by the Socialists will, however, be of more interest, for the old party leaders have been not a little concerned in the matter.. The Socialists are now very active here and at points In the gas belt, and are confident of polling a larger vote than ever before.

DEATH AND FUNERALS.

Many of the Democratic leaders here profess to believe that their state and county tickets have a better chance in mdianapolis than the national ticket. Two years ago the Democrats came near carrying the county for some of their candidates, and they are especially hopeful of electing August M. Kuhn, their nominee for treasurer, who is again running against Oliver P. Ensley. The latter won by 111 two years ago after Kuhn t had contested the election in the courts. It is said by party leaders that there are many Republicans here who are loyal to the state and national tickets who will do a Dowerful lot

f of scratching on the county ticket.

I This :is especially true of the north side wards, where the Republican strongholds are located. If the national ticket should be run close in this county it would not be surprising fif some of the candidates on the Democratic county ticket should pull through. Secretary Petti john of the Democratic county committee said today that the Democrats of every precinct are holding meetings this week and that the organization is in excellent shape. Chairman Smith of tho Republican committee claims also that his side is ready now for the finish of the fight.

Secretary Reiley of the Democratic state committee admitted today rather frankly that the present campaign 'has been characterized by apathy all along the line. It was thought immediately after the St. Louis convention that there would be a grand awakening. The Democratic leaders were confident that the election of Taggart as national chairman would stir things up to a fever heat in Indiana at least, but aside from the first flash in the pan the enthusiasm has seemed to ebb. . Old-timers do not recall another campaign in recent years in which tbre was so little enthusiasm. They don't know what to make of it. The Republicans are claiming that it is an evidence of general satisfaction with the present conditions. Secretary Reiley declared that it is a good thing for the Democrats, his way of thinking being that the minority party can pull together more quickly at the finish than the party iri power. It is the first time such an explanation has been offered in this camoaign, and the outcome will be awaited with much interest to see whether it is JusrifieU.
