GOSSIP OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Yourg Democrats Who Will Not Sup
pc Candidate COttrell for Mayor.
A Democrat Who Is Earnestly for Denny
A Trick to Deceive Voters-An En-
thusiastic North-Side Meeting.

The Democrats are resorting to every possible
means, fair or foul. to elect Cottrell, and they
should be closely wetched at the polls on Tues
day Men who are avowedy opposed to law
and order not of the class that are likely to
be in any ways scrupulous about their political
methods, and if there is any scheme which can
be turned to their benefit they are not going
to hesitate about availing themselves of its ad-
vantage Already one of their little tricks has
been discovered. Tickets headed Republican"
have been printed bearing the name of Robert
Denny, the Prohibition candidate, instead of
Caleb s. Denny, the Republican candidate for
mayor. and they are to be distributed through
out the city on election day, with the hope that
the Republicans will be misled to vote for the
wrong candidate for mayor.
DR.. Samuel FL. Moore, the opponent of Sim
Coy for Council in the Eighteenth ward. is max
ing strong canvass, and if full vote is polled.
he thinks that there is good prospect that .
will be elected Simeon has quit Boosting about
his great popularity, and is hustling around
among the voters in his ward in a way that indi-
Gates that he Is very anxious about the result.
DR.. Moore would make the ward an excel
lert councilman. and it is devoutly hoped,
both for the credit of the city and the residents
of the ward, that he will succeed in defeating the
arrogant leader of the hummer element
The following card explains ITSELF
ITO the Voters Of the Eighteenth Ward-I
hereby decline to make the race for Council
in the Eighteenth ward upon the Prohibition
ticket, believing that the election of DR.. Moore
and the entire Republican ticket will secure the
best interests of the city and the strict enforce
ment of the laws. John w. WILSON"

to secure the colored vote
meeting of the Republicans of the Ninth
ward will be held at the mayors court room.
this evening, at 7:30 o'clock
Henry Smith, of the First National Bank was
nominated for councilman by the independent
Republicans of the Sixth ward last night, con-
siderable opposition to Mr.. Newcomb having been
manifested.
The law and order meeting at Masonic hall to-
morrow evening will doubtless be very largely
attended as it should be- The issues involved
in the local election will be presented by ex
Governor Porter, Major w. H. Calkins. William
Bosom and other speakers of ability The
and the meeting will be fitting close to the
campaign.
An enthusiastic law and order meeting was
held last night at the corner of Columbia avenue
and Yandes street. at which speeches were made
by Caleb S. Denny, Charles l.. Holstein, John r.
Pearson and George Weaver. There was large
crowd in attendance, and a lively degree Of en-
thuslasm was manifested
Owing to unforeseen difficulties, it has been
necessary to change the voting place of the sec
ond precinct of the Twelfth ward from No. 118
Indiana avenue, the place originally designated,
to No &C. same street. in the next block south.
The talk INDUCED in by an evening paper of
dissatisfaction among Republicans of the Twelfth
ward over the candidacy of M. M. Cummings for
Council is in the nature of news over there. If
there is any objection to Mr. Cummings it has
never been made manifest. His majority will
be in the neighborhood of two hundred.
THE OMNIBUS BILL.
The Sentinel and its evening annex are MAX
ing>a labored effort to show that the omnibus
bill" introduced during the last session of the
Legislature, was measure conceived by Mr..
Denny. the Republican candidate for mayor.
The bill embodied number of amendments in
relation to the charters Of municipal corpora
tions, agreed upon at a meeting OF
the State, and to all who had any
knowledge whatever of the matter it is we'll
known that Mr.. Denny had no more to do with
the bill thar any of the Democratic city officers
who were present at the meeting, among whom
were Bridewell, of Evansville. Zollinger, of Fort
Wayne, and others.
DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR CANDIDATE
II know one thing" remarked well-known
the drift of politics last evening, land that is,
that all the young Democrats of my acquain t.
| ance are going to vote for Denny, but they don't
| want the fact known" If the Journal were dis
| posed to make public the information it could
| give very long list of the names of Democrats
| who are not going to vote for Cottrell. The
| number, however, will show up on election day
| in very pleasing figures.
AN EARNEST DENNY NAN.
A prominent Democrat living on one of the
principal streets in the northern part of the city
was about to move this week. but after having
taken up his carpets and made every prepare
ton for the change of residence, it occurred to
| him that he would lose his vote if he
| moved before Tuesday. He has left
| his household furniture standing, packed, and,
it causes, is remaining in his old residence solely
for the purpose of not losing his vote This
Democrat will vote for Caleb s. Denny.
| Although Mr.. Denny has not. at any time
| since his nomination, doubted that he would be
| elected, he is more confident of good majority
than he has been at any time. During the last
| two weeks he has had very satisfactory evidence
| that he will receive the votes of q very large
| number of Democrats.
NEIL M'GRoARTY'S CANVASS
| Neil McGroarty, who came within few votes
of defeating Jim Bowling for Council in the
Sixteenth ward at the last election, is pretty
sure to succeed this time. as he is making even
o stronger canvass than before. The people of
| the ward now realize what disgraceful blunder
| they made the last time in electng Bowling, the
confessed briber, over him. and, as the Demo.
cratic candidate is protege of Bowling, the bet
ter class of residents of tho ward will find very
| good chance to rebuke him by electing
| McGroarty.
/ Mr.. Adams's Domestic Trouble.
| About three months ago Adrian J. Adams, of
Columbus, o., returned to the city and took
away from his wife. at No rs Massachusetts
