VICIOUS FIGHT

Democrats Accuse Republicans and Free-for-all Follows.

HEADS CRACKED IN MELEE.

WAS ALLEGED THAT ANTI-BOO-. DLE AGREEMENT HAD BEEN VIOLATED TWO MEN ACCUSED ESCAPE ARREST.

Lebanon, Ind., Oct. 31. The courthouse yard fn Lebanon was the scene of a wild pre-election riot today. Revolvers were drawn, knives were flourished and there were a number of fistic encounters The trouble grew out .of the allegations of the Democratic leaders that the Republicans were vio latlng the anti-boodle agreement, and that the Republican managers in Boone county had invented a new scheme for designating the ballot3 cast by those who, it was alleged, they Intended to buy. This morning the Democratic chairman called for a conference with the Republican workers at the sheriff's office. Eight or ten representatives of each party were present, and when the Democrats . put the boodle question to the Republicans, the latter strenuously lenled it. Suspected Man Fled. before Jud-fe Artman, candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket, and representatives of the two parties, the."' ocrats asked that certain of the bllcans be searched for evtdenc -- "he Republicans refused to permit this, and the Democrats threatened to call in the police. Two of the men under suspicion. Jack Lockhart and Charles W. Scott, bolted the meeting and succeeded In getting away. This brought on the rint. They were followed Into the courthouse yard, but the pursuers were held up by friends of the two men. ' Within a few minutes 200 men were on the scene and the wildest excitement 'prevailed. " Heads were cracked, noS smashed and eyes were blacked, but it was over an hour before the police were able to disperse the crowd. Among, those in the thickest of the fight and who received Injuries were R. T. Plnnell, James A- White and H. M. Coulter, all leading politicians.

REPLIES TO ATTACK - MADE BY CAMPBELL ; (Continued From Page One.)

result of a personal grievance. TC6T. Gowdy said Campbell formerly ' was a member of the republican pa-rty, but broke from the ranks on the monetery question, being an advocate of the- free silver issue of Bryan. Campbell now ha taken nv the ;cause of democracy. At home his words have practically no weight as he is always held as a turn coat. , As to Campbell's declarations about the two Millers and Fred Clevenger, Col. Gowdy said he was surprised at their boldness The Millers are the proprietors of the leading hotel of Rushville. A bar is operated in connection with the hotel, but the owners are not regarded in the light of "saloon men.' , They are prominent, reputable citizens, and to leave their names off a committee of such significance, would appear as unwarranted, whom the nature of the occasion is considered. The Grand hotel, which is possessed by the Millers is the best known hostelry in Rushville. Col. Gowdy asserted the claim that Fred - Clevenger is a " professional gambler and a widely known faro dealer was a surprise to him. He declared Clevenger's business at . Rushville is considered that of a brick manufacturer. He has never been charged by his fellow citizens with being the common gambler such as Campbell repre

sented. . . Attack One of Series. .The colonel maintains that the attack made upon Watson in thi3 city yesterday by Campbell was only one of a series that has been made throughout the state. Mr. Gowdy believes that any 6uch stories eminating from the sources they do and of such partisan nature must be discounted. "Just say this for . me," remarked Col. Gowdy, "Mr. Watson is supported by the best element there is in Rushville. and those persons talking against him do so for purely political effect." , There is more to the story, also. Campbell Is the law partner of Frank Hall, democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. This gives added reason for his anti-Watson enmity. William L. Newbold Is the democratic county chairman of Rush county and also deputy prosecuting attorney. The question arises naturally, if such law violations exist in Rushville, as Campbell declared and rfrbuted to Watson and "his ring," why does not the democratic chairman out of his duty to the state enter prosecution? Campbell stated Rushville is one of the most open towns in the state and

WILLIAM RANDOLPH SHOWS HOW STANDARD OIL COMPANY HAS FINGERS ON - MEANS OF INFLUENCING GENERAL PUBLIC

New York, Oct. 31. William 'Randolph Hearst again hurled a bomb into the camp of John D. Archbold and the Standard Oil company tonight in Carnegie hall, when he read letters

proving to the public that great prices ' were paid by that corporation to news-1 papers, educators and lawmakers to control the United States. Hearst was heard by hundreds of people and his . assertions were greeted by the wildest ; enthusiasm. j ' "My friends Last Monday Mr. Archbold attacked me quite severely for! my lack of etiquette in reading his j private letters to the peoples' public 1 servants. Mr. Archbold did not con-j sider it outrageous for him to send secret certificates of deposit to United

States senators and attorney generals and judges, but he did consider it utterly inexcusable for me to tell you

about it. j "Mr. Archbold became almost angry and used near strong language and I j was compelled to reply to him. I re-

ganization and the completeness off Mr. Sibley says Bailey would come

their plan of campaign Is astonishing. If the Standard Oil company shall succeed in securing control of the officials of the people's government, the machinery of justice and the channels of publicity, they certainly will have the people entirely at their mercy to be ruled and robbed as the Standard Oil company sees fit. You will remember that Senator Foraker declared that one of the secret certificates of deposit which i he received, the one for $50,000, was sent to him in order to secure control of a leading newspaper In Ohio. That is not my statement It is his and is in all propability true. In addition to controlling newspapers, however, I find that the Standard Oil company influences certain minor publications by contribution, as this letter will show: "26 Broadway. Oct. 10, 1902. "Mr. H. H. Edmonds, Baltimore, Md.: "Dear Sir: Responding to yours of the ninth it gives me pleasure to enclose you herewith certificate of deposit to your favor for $3,000 covering a year's subscription to the Manufac-

proved Mr. Archbold very gently and j turer's Record.

for his own good, I gave him excellent advice. I told him not to lie. for if he Ud I had the documents to convict him, Mr. Archbold did not take my kind and well meant advice,. He would go ahead, he did lie and here I have the documents to convict him.

'Truly yours, "JOHN D. ARCHBOLD." I have looked up the subscription price of the Manufacturer's Record and I find that it is $4 a year. Consequently Mr. Archbold was either subsidizing the Manufacturer's Record or he was subscribing for 750 years.

Mr. Archbold gave out the following There is no mention of any advertls-

statement and published it in all the papers. He said: I am very sure that until Hearst read the letters neither Judge Morrison nor Judge Henderson had any knowledge of my having written Gov. Stone in their behalf. "Judge Morrison also declared that he knew Mr. Archbold years ago but that he had not seen him in years, and said Judge Morrison, "it is inexplicable that the Standard Oil man should have taken so deep an interest in my welfare." Reads More Letters. "In the light of the latter I am about to read the explanation seems simple

ing done by the Manufacturer's Record or any legitimate newspaper business performed. The Standard Oil Company is a liberal subscriber of this sort and the object of these subscriptions is to induce these publications to Influence public sentiment in favor of Standard Oil as the following letter will show: "26 Broadway, Dec. 18, 1901. "Mr. Thomas G. Rasty, care Buck & Pratt, Room 1203, 27 North William Street, City. "Dear Mr. Grasty: I have your favor of yesterday and beg to return herewith the telegram from Mr. Ed-

a judgeship because Mr. Morrison asked him to do so and Mr. Morrison certainly knew of Mr. Archbold's activity in his behalf, because Mr. Archbold wrote Mr. Morrison telling him about it. You will see plainly from the first paragraph that this letter which Mr. Archbold wrote when in reply to a letter which Mr. Morrison wrote. Here is Mr. Archbold's letter: 26 Broadway, New York, Aug. 3, 1899. "Hon. Thomas A. Morrison, Smithport, Pa. My Dear Sir: I am only In receipt of your favor of August 1

year, payments to be made the same as they have been this year. We do not doubt but that the influence of your publications throughout the South is of the most helpful character. With good wishes, I am, "Very truly yours, "JOHN D. ARCHBOLD." I have looked up the subscription price of the Southern Farm Magazine and I find that it is fifty cents a year, so that Mr. Archbold's $5,000 was either a subsidy or a sucscription for

10,001) years, as Mr. Archbold sayp,

ana it nas given me great pleasure to the $5,000 "is a subscription for anWrite Senators Quay and Penrose ex- other year." we may conclude not only

pressing my "earnest desire that it

may prove possible and .consistant for them to support you for the supreme judgeship. Very truly yours, JOHN D. ARCHBOLD." While Mr. Archbold studiously avoids the truth, in his public communications to me or to the newspa

pers, he apparently tried to tell the, following letter is truth in this letter to Judge" Morrison, print:

for here is the letter that he wrote to Senator Quay and duplicated to Senator Penrose: ' "Beaver, Pa. "Hon, M. S. Quay:

I merely cite these facts to show the utter unreliability of any of Mr. Archbold's statements. I cannot devote the evening to Mr. Archbold's mendacity, although the opportunities are ample. I have a more important matter to discuss. Strikes at Standard. I have shown heretofore the peculiar interest of the Standard Oil Company,

The letter is from the Standard Oil company's congressional spy Joseph C. Sibley. It is written on the letter paper of congress and is headed: "Joseph C. Sibley, Chairman Committee on Manufacturers, House of Representatives, U. S. Washington, March 7, 1905. "My Dear Mr. Archbold. the illness of a member of my. family has prevented my coming to New York. Senator B. was to have gone over with me. I think he will go anyway, as he

letter however, is not the part that reveals Senator Bailey, a democratic friend of Stanrard Oil or Mr. Sib'ey a republican , friend of the Standard Oil It is the part which reveals the plan to control the great news organizations of the contry. The Associated press and kindred avenues. To influence public opinion in that way, Mr. Sibley thinks the public can be divided and public men, like Mr. Roosevelt who value public opinion can be criticised and controlled."

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Abraham Lee Thrown Beneath Street Car, But Escapes Uninjured.

WAGON STRUCK BY CAR. About 5:30 yesterday afternoon, Abraham Lee, employed by John Lancaster the gardner, drove in front of a west bound city car at the corner of West Third and Main streets." Lee was hurled under the car between the front and rear wheels. He managed to crawl to a place of safety just as the rear wheels were about to pass over hi3 legs. Lee's companion, Seth Smelser was hurled violently to the street but was uninjured. Lee suffered from a bad scalp wound but refused assistance until he .learned Smelser was alright and 'that the runaway, horse had been captured. Spectators of the accident say the motorman was not responsible for it. The rig was badly crushed.

TEMPERANCE PEOPLE CANNOT HELP BUT SEE SCHEME MARSHALL WOULD BE DOMINATED BY BREWERY INTERESTS. The Palladium is in receipt of a communication from Timothy Nicholson, the well known member of the Friends' church, who repudiates his signature to the letter circulated about the city purporting to be signed by him. An account of this letter and its fraudulent authorship was printed in the Palladium of last evening. Mr. Nicholson says: "My attention was called to a card or letter signed by me and two ministers of our city, falsely representing me as a minister, and urging all who secured a copy to vote for James E. Watson, and charging Thomas R. Marshall with indulging in Intoxicating liquors. I think I make no mistake in charging that "the enemy hath done this." Brewery and saloon tactics in the interest of Thomas R. Marshall. Temperance republicans and temperance democrats are too intelligent to be deceived or inSuenced by such clap-trap, and all brewers and saloonists and gamblers are already for Marshall of whose personal habits I know nothing. But he was nominated by the last named class and If elected it will be by their Influence and money. I think they will completely dominate him and however noble may be his desires or Impulses he will be compelled to do their bidding. Hence I desire the election of Watson, who will be surrounded and influence by a much better class of citizens.'
