Turner and Wilson, and they, therefore. must
have taken the oath Of alIeeiancs 70 the con.
fsderato Constitution. McMilin was about
fifteen az the breaking ont Of the war. and
while. perhaps. he did not serve in the eonfeder-
ate army, his sympathies were undoubtedly
with the Confsderacy. Scots and Bynum do
not appear to have had any military or naval
ssrvics.
As 10 well known. the Mills bill was planned
and drafted at secret sessions OF the Demo-
cratic members Of the committee only. A ma
jority Of the Democratic members of the com
mittse having been confederate soldiers and
having taken the oath OF allegiance TO the con-
federate Constitution, and that Constitution, as
quoted above, having been squarely in favor of
free trade, it can but be plain and evident as to
the true and real origin OF the Mills bill IL
would also appear that the majority Of the
Democratic members OF the committee still re-
tain their allegiance to at least one doctrine Of
the confederate Constitution.

President Cleveland, in his letter Of accept
ance, dated Sept. s, 1888. says: The pledges
contained in the platform adopted by The late
convention Of the national Democracy lead 10
the advancement Of these objects and insure
good governmeut-the aspiration OF every true
American citizen and the motive for every pa
triotic action and effort. In the consciousness
that much has been done in the direction OF
good government by the present administration,
ana submitting its record to the fair inspection
OF my countrymen, I indorse the platform thus
presented with the DISCRIMINATION that If | am
again called to the chief magistracy there shall
be . continuance Of devoted endeavor 20 ad-
vance the interests Of the entire country"
From the foregoing It will be observed that
President Cleveland's message to Congress was
dated Dec. 6, 1887, and that in pursuance OF
that message the Mills bill Was reported to the
national House OF Representatives. April 2. 1889
1t will also DO observed that june z, 1888, the
national Democratic convention, In the plat
form adopted, Endorsed President Clevelandis

I'm Rettinp Circles.

A Republican who has the money to put up in
sums anywhere from 300 to $1,000 spent the
day yesterday in trying to get bets from Demo-
Gratis who, he had been told, wanted to show
their faith with their money. Every one of
them, when they saw the Republican money
was ready, declined to bet But another Re-
publican had better luck. He got takers for
50. 900 in Observation-Disclosures bets on Indiana,
Marion county, New York and general result.
Several smaller bets of like character were
made.

Chairman Taggsrt, Of the Democratic county
COMMITTEES, yesterday sent $3.50 to the Commit
tee of One Hundred to help pay for the detec-
ton and conviction of illegal voters. In his let
ter accompanying the contribution, he wrote:

Democratic organization of which / am chairman has
no resources from which TO obtain money except
through voluntary contributions of citizens who be-
heve in the continuance of good government. Having
no specially favored class from which TO draw funds,

is said, sent for a member OF the Irish-American
Protection Club. This member was once an act

in his advocacy of Harrison and Morton.

versation, the latter said to him: what do

Meeting of Workingmen.


A large meeting of workingmen from the vsri-
Gus shops and factories was held in the Repub-
lican county committee rooms last evening. II.
G. Williams stated the subject Of the meeting,
after which q permanent organization was ef-
fected. 81. c. Moore was elected as
president and w. H. Mclaughlin as
secretary. b. T. Grant was made treasurer.
Fred Henschen, Theodore Robinson. B. f.
Grant. Messrs. Calvin, Lincoln and others
spoke heartily in favor of the Republican party
and the necessity of using every hour of the
time from now until election day in working
for it's candidates. An executive sboard was
formed, consisting of A. Aibertson, W. A.
Lockwood. Theodore Robinson, Mr.. Calvin,
William Morse, Mr.. Gregg, John aerrick,

c. Williams, Bradley Connett. John Abbott,
Robert Goblet, NJ. Shelby, John Creig and James
McWilliams. This committee is empowered to
extend its membership In all shops not
now represented in il. The energy
and enthusiasm shown by these workiugmen,
who are such in the truest sense Of the word,
and most Of whom are energetic trsdes-union
advocates, has placed the lie to the pretensions
of Ed Gould and his gang that they or any one
carries the labor vote in their pockets. The
executive board will hold a meeting in the same
room Monday evening and the session will be
resumed on Tuesday evening in the Grimm al
Court room Of the courthouse.

How Democrats Are Buying Votes.

How Democrats Are buying Votes.
The secret plans Of the Democratic managers
are being gradually but completely exposed.
That they will depend upon fraud and Doodle
to carry the day there can be no doubt Yes
terday one Of the men, who was hired by them
ostsnsibly to peddle tickets on election day, but
really to vote the Democratic ticket. revealed
some things that show how Tageart's and
Jewetts committees are working. They have for
several weeks been employing men OF doubtful
political standing az ticket peddlers or checkers
on election day. The Republican managers
have a list of these men. Some Of them are in
the Ninth. Seventeenth and Eighteenth wards.
The Decorate committee has a regular scaie or
election prices for workers. The ticket peddlers
are to receive Sc for their days work; the check.
err of votes. SO; the challenger, SO, and the
men to swear in votes from $40 upwards. There
are to be at least ten ticket-psddlsrs at each pre-
cinct, and the intention of the Democrats is to
have just as many Of these meu as possible
doubtful voters. 1T will be well for these gen.
tlemen to consult Section l of the Campbell bill,

being hired by the Democrats managers there
can be no doubt. and those who are engaged in

Republican MONDAY Meetings.

A novel, and SO far as Indianapolis or the
West is concerned, a wholly new campaign
feature was inaueurated yesterday by the Re-
publicansL 1t is that of having monday as.
semblies for business men-something on the
order Of experience meetings. The plan has
been followed Ia New York and other Eastern
cities for several years, and they have proven
both interesting aud beneficial The meetings
were started here at the request of many bust

other and their party. Although but a brief an

made. the large room in the New Denison Block
occupied by the Republican county central COM
mittee was crowded soon after noon. With the
business men were quite a number of strangers

perhaps out Of curiosity. dropped into the meet
ing.
1t was at once evident that ths meetings were
soon In an enthusiastic mood. Some campaign
songs were sung and there were speeches by
Wiley L. Brown, of Garden City, Kan; Will
lam Dudley Foulke, T. Nj. Burns, of the Irish
World. New York; Patrick Kelleher, and Mr..
Brewer, colored. Of Vincennes. The speeches
occupied ten minutes each, and kept
the crowd continually applauding. Each
one took up . single issue of the campaign, and
without any attempt at oratory explained in a
simple manner why tho Republican party should
be supported. \ few minutes before / O'Clock
the meeting adjourned with three cheers for
General Harrison. The meetings will be con-
tinued at the same time and place all this week.
There will be q glee club present each day, IS
well as several entertaining speakers. Men of
all parties are requested to attend.

The Pennsylvania's Standing
Army.

On the pay rolls of the Pennsylvania

the names of fifty thousand employees.
This army stretches from Chicago. st.

Washington, Philadelphia and New
York. Its members are in every city of
the Middle and Atlantic States and at
outposts from San Francisco to Boston,
st. Paul to New Orleans. Five thou
sand are massed III the construction and
repair shops at Altoona. Three thou
sand are engaged in similar work at
other stations: the remainder in the
construction and maintenance of track,
in the charge of stations, in the con-
duct and running of trains, and the
clerks in the general offices would form
a respectable brigade. That the prob
lem presented by the necessity for Sc
curing a feeling of loyalty in and
thorough discipline of this army has been
vania management, is manifest to any
traveller over the Pennsylvania lines
who is at all observant. 1t is evident
in the solidity of track, in the staunch-
ness of equipment, i'll the precision
with which trains are run, in the bright
appearance and courtesy and frmness
of action of the trainmen. Seeing is be-
lieving. and the next time you take an
