STILL THE FRIENDS OF COY

paign Are lacking as much IN moral strength as
those Of Coy, and the methods now being en-
ployed are in accord with Ccyism. except that
they do not have the cordial support of the gang
the little boss left behind him when be went to
the psnitsutiary. This indiftersnceof the gang,
which is d~evoting what energies it is expending in
this campaign to elect the Democratic legisla-
tive and county ticket, is due to two causes.
The first arries out of a difference of opinion
Is to the proper time of releasing Coy from the
penitentiary. 1t has been the desire OF the
gang represented in the party management by
the Democratic county executive and centra,
committees to have Coy out Of prison before
the election. Jswett and the State central COM
mittee, while anxious to keep on good terms
with the convict in view Of his future participa-
ton In the party management, for there 10 no
doubt but that he will be restored to the control
of the party's county machinery, just as soon az
he can get rid Of bis striped suit, advise de-
lay in the pardon until after the election.
The other course 10 akin to this, inasmueh
IS the State central committee. to further
deceive the public by hypocritical methods
as to fair elections, is apparently giving f~avorites
Of the gang the cold shoulder. This was con-
spicuously shown in the case OF Albert +. Ayres,
who was not allowed to hold a c~lerkship in the
committee. Ayress temporary occupancy or
the criminal judges seat was the result of the
Coy tally-sheet forgeries. Coys term In the
penitentiary is due to the honesty and energy
which the citizens COMMITTEES OF One Hundred
used in prosecuting the rascals.
"If one hundred Democrats. said one OF Jew
etts committee Of safety, yesterday,
"hAd prosecuted Coy and Bernhamsr,
that number did, frightened the other
defendants so badly that they would be ready
TO confess If they could escape with q fee.
Jewett and the State central committed would
have nothing TO do with them. This talk about
q Democratic committee of safety 10 secure o
fair election is nonsense. / was At its meeting
Wednesday night. and it was a tame affair.
The gentlemen who bad been brought into IL by
Jewetts demand on the respectable element OF
the party % help him cover mp what be would
like to have done by fraud, showed no interest
in the proceedings. The proceedings were alto
eether perfunctory, and the public will hear but
little Of the organization, as no active work Is
contemplated"
THE purpose, then, 10 simply to thwart the
citizens committeef" the reporter sre gested.
YES. IL the gentlemen who have been named
as the committee will, after they clearly see
Jswetts methods and schemes. lend their
influence to that end. The mon who are to DO
the most active in the organization are those
who resigned from the citizens Committee OF
One Hundred, because it was honest IN its pros
ecution Of the sally-sheet forgeries"
do Democrats who have no interest IN either
committee indorss such actionsl'
Not at all. There are Democrats. and Demo
Gratis who, like myself, say Coy and Bernhsmer
are receiving just punishment. 1t is the per-
sistency Of their party managers In trying to
make people believe otherwise that will cause

of the State zeal as / do that IL is time to throw
aside this disgrsceful element in our party.
They recognize that there 10 but one way TO do

The Republicans are pledged to non.psrtisan

That l am In favor of; but even il the Democratic
candidates were pledged TO the same reform,
there is . largs class Of our party who have no
confidence in them because the candidates are
the friends Of Coy. I will therefore vote for the
Republican Legislative and county nominees"
Commercial Travellers Demonstration
With fair weather tomorrow the Republican
Commercial Travellers demonstration 10 this
city promises to be one Of the most notable
events Of the campaign. The Indisuspolis com.
mercial men who have looked after the details
of the proposed gathering have had a good deal
to contend against, but they have worked
earnestly and intsIlieently and made the most
OF their limited time and means. ''Some Of the
boys w had hoped TO see here" said Chairman
@. c. Webster. yesterday, will be kept at
home by events occurring in their own homes
tomorrow. The Grant monument at St. Louis
will be unveiled in that city on that date, Mr..
Blaine speaks at Chicago, and Governor Foraker
at Bloomington, and there are other gatherings

abilities is not too hard on Us We shall have :, coo
commercial travellers In lins here on that day,
and make a good showing for ourselves. consid-
ering the various obstacles We have encountered.
OF the cities outside this State which have
promised us considerable delegations. Cincip-
matt, Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Danville and
GAINESVILLE may be mentioned, and every city and
town in Indiana is expected to send representa-
tives. While Eastern cities will probably send
no regular delegation, q large number Of the
travellers for Eastern houses who are now in the
West have made arrangements TO run in here on
Saturday and take part In the parsde, and We
know of about one hundred and fifty representa-
tives of the shoe and leather trade Of Boston and
other Massachusetts towns who expect to be
here and Join the ranks. We do not exact that
any uniforms shall be WORT, but all employees Of
| commercial houses here are asked to turn out.
Many of the Indianapolis boys will appear in
dark dress suits, with silk bats and
light canes. There will be plenty of
music. Beside the local bands, the
Columbus, O., delegation will bring the famous
| Fourteenth Regiment Band, Of that city, which
was here with Governor Foraker. In addition
to the regular bands the indianapolis men have
| organized q kazoo band of forty pieces, which
has been practicing regularly during the past
| two weeks, except as il has been intsrfered with
by the police. There will be no floats in the
procession but a symbolic representation OF

bull ridden by an Irishman and led by Uncle
Sam.
