SOME INSIDE POINTERS.
How the Doodle Campaign Was
Worked i'm Indiana.

\ correspondent of a Chicago paper
met Sam Kercheval, of Spencer county,
in the bar-room of the Dennison House
the other night. Kercheval is the
Chairman of the County Committee,
and he seems to have had the unblush-
ing impudence to tell publicly to the
crowd around the bar how the voters of
his county were debauched at the
recent election. He is described by the
correspondent as reclining with his
arms on the bar and discoursing as fol-
lows: "Of course it was an expensive
campaign, the most expensive the
State has ever known. The price OF
voters averaged 500 each, and in some
cases we had to pay as high as $40 and
$50; but we got them, and we carried
the State. Tn Spencer county we had
a great many 'floaters,' and 1t was an
open question whether we or the Demo
Gratis could buy them. Wegot most OF
them"
"How could you be sure" the cor
respondent asked, ''that a vote which
you had paid for would be really de-
ivered?"
"Nothipg simpler" said the chair
man of the Spencer county committee,
'If you buy dry goods, you get the
package when you give the money
We went on the same principle. We
had one man stationed at the polling
places who was able to see the ballot
from the time it left his hands until
the time it went into the box. Now,
suppose fioater is secured by a worker
Say you are a worker and this gentle
man is the voter and this gentleman i;
the guard Mt the poll. Now, you agree
with this man to pay him $40 for 8
straight Republican vote. You steer
, him up to the guard at the polls anC
call his attention to the man. The
guard gives him ballot folded anC
ready to put into the Judges hands.
The voter takes it, and if he votes as ht
has contracted to do, without looking
at it, or "monkeying" with it in any
wav-and the guard can see whether
he does or not, for he is never more
than three feet away from the ballot
box-then he (the guard) signals bach
to you that the man is all right, you
take him off and give him his money
He has to trust you that far, although
| have seen cases in this election wheI
the 'floater' would not trust the worker
but insisted on having one hand on the
money while he put in the ballot"
"How is the money paid afterwards?'
"Well, down in our part Of the coun
try we took q room which had beer
used as gambling hell. The door haC
one of those little openings to it in the
center from which you could see out
but you could not see in. When 6
worker had got vote, he wrote on &
little piece of blue paper the amount O
money to which the voter was entitled
and the voter poked his hand through
the hole with that bit of cardboard in
it. The paper was taken off by a young
man inside, examined and verified, and
if it was all right, the money-SlO, S2(
or $50, as the case might be--was placed
in the still open hand. The man out
side saw nothing; neither did the man
inside. 1t was all done quietly and
effectually, and nobody was the WISER y

THE END NOT YET.
The Stevens County War May Break Out
at Any Time.

The Stevens County War May Break Out
at Any Time.
LIBERAL, KAN, July 3O.-General Myers
and Attorney General Bradford arrived here
yesterday afternoon, and soon after started
for Stevens county to prevent further blood
shed, and presumably to arrest the parties
who killed Sheriff Cross and his deputies.
M. Hughes arrived from Hugoton this
afternoon with dispatches from General
Myers to Governor Martin. It is believed
5 hat he asks for troops to be sent to him to
enable him to disarm both factions, and to
srrest the ringleaders on both sides. There
was no disturbance yesterday up to the time
that Hughes left Hugoton to-day. Every
thing had been quiet but the trouble is not
over yet by any means. The Hugoton
people are well armed and ready for any
emergency, expecting that the Woodsdale
people will take their vengeance whenever
they get a chance. Mn eteen Winchester
rifles were brought into Woodsdale JESTER
day by Ed Short. Very few farmers OF
Stevens county are taking sides
and the quarrel is confined to the
inhabitants of the two towns mentioned.
The two officers sent out by the governor
may succeed in preventing bloodshed while
they are present, but as soon as they are
gone trouble il likely to break out afresh at
any time. The Woodsdale people believe
some of the inhabitants of Hugoton ought
to be killed if they don't leave the country,
and the Hugoton people entertain the same
Woodsdale. There is personal enmity at
play, outside the fight, for supremacy be-
tween the two towns, and the tragedy in the
neutral strip may be reenacted on small
or large scale, whenever an opportunity Is
offered.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 28.-Mr. RAN
dali and his family left Washington this
morning for their country home at Wayne
Station, Pa, in the hope that fresh country
air will have the effect of increasing the pa
tents strength. Mr.. Randall was taken to
the station in a closed carriage, the blinds
of which were closely drawn. He was ac-
companied by DIR. Mallon, who will attend
him to his home, where DR.. Martin, who
was unable On account of a professional en-
gagement, to accompany the patient, will
take charge of the case. Mr.. Randall was
feeble this morning, owing to his unusual
e1ertion consequent upon his removal His
family was pleased with the continued i'm
provement in his condition.
Hon. Sam j. Randall arrived at Wayne
noon in President Roberts private car,
which was attached to the 12:45 p. m. ac-
commodation from the Bradstreet station of
the Pennsylvania railroad. The train ar
rived on time at the station. Mrs. j. Bell
engo Cox, at whose house at Castenee, Mr..
Randall is to be cared for, was in waiting
with a large old fashioned comfortable ba-
rouche, built several years ago for her
mother who was an invalid. There were
pillows provided for the ease and comfort Of
the sick man. The other carriages we're at
hand for Mr.. Randall's family, and the few
friends Fho accompanied them from the
national capitol.
It was said by DR.. Mallin and Colonel
Gerker that Mr.. Randall bore his trip well
throughout the entire journey from Wash
ington, and that the only discomfort ex-
perienced was at the latter city when being
removed from his residence to President
Roberts car. He was fatigued by the
transfer and gave evidence of it. After that
he rested easily in the car and bore up we'll
to the end of his trip. He was cheerful and
occasionally engaged in conversation With
these about him, though talk was dis
couraged q though tending to weary and
