THEY DEFY THE COURT
POPoCRATs IN FOLLOWER DIS
TRICT PREPARING TO NOMINATE.
Governor Matthews and Chairman
Martin DiscIaim ANY Parf i'm Such
High-Hnnded Proceedings.

About three months ago the Journal ex-
posed scheme attributed TO Senator Tur-
pie to accomplish fusion between the DEM
ocrats and Popuiists on legislative candi-
dates in all the close districts and to dis
regard the dictum of the Supreme Court
by nominating candidates for the Senate
in the hold-over districts. When asked
about it Senator Turpie replied that the
Senate was the only judge of the quaifica-
tons of its members The first part of the
plan for getting the Legislature has been
carried out and fusion has been accom-
plshed in every one of the close districts,
except Marion county-which is not close
this year. however-and it will be done here
to-day.
The second part, however, the Popocratio
leaders declare, will not be attempted. An
inquiry in this direction set on foot
last night upon the receipt of the follow
ing dispatch by the Journal from Rockport,
Ind:
Acting under instructions from their
this senatorial district have called
a convention for Saturday at
Chrisney to nominate candidate for Sen
elected Senator two years ago to serve four
years. The district at present is composed
but the Democrats propose to run their
man in the counties of Spencer and Perry.
winch formed tnlS district pTlOT TO 1881.
The scheme is to nominate Il Populist
named Thurman who is now running for
Representative, provided he will withdraw
and support the Democratic candidate for
Representative"
Governor Matthews, who. in refusing to
call special session of the Legislature.
declared that the rights of the hold-over
Senators should not be questioned was told
the substance of the dispatch. THAT is the
first 1 had heard of any such intention"
said he. IF any such orders have been
issued by the State committee to this
any other of the hold-over districts, it has
been done without consultation with me
or my knowledge
did when you suggested that the hold
overs be let alone" was asked.
Il have not changed my opinion on the
subject" replied the Governor, 'notwith-
standing certain reports
Chairman Martin, of the State commit
tee, said, when the dispatch was explained
to him in substance:
That is the first have heard OF any
such orders to the Democrats of this or
any other district. We have issued no such
orders, and 1T is contrary to the policy of
this committee that nominations should be
made in the hold-over districts. We have
not asked the Democrats to make them,
and hope they will not do So"
Mr. Martins manner was fully as earnest
and emphatic as his, words, and left no
room to doubt that the call was issued
without the sanction of his committee.

his prediction that he will carry the State
by large majority. He saw Mr.. Bryan's
mouth in action and saw him masticate
and swallow am apple in a manner which
indicated that he had a tremendous appe-
tite. If there is one thing that the people
of the United States demand more than all
others in their President it is that he
should have a great appetite and a mouth
that will receive an apple sixteen inches in
circumference. The Governor says Mr..
Bryan's visit to the State has been produc-
tive of grand results If he has accom-
plished SO much by his speeches what
might the results not have been if every
body in the State could have seen him eat
that apple as the Governor did?

MAY FESTIVAL PLANS.
Meeting of Guarantors and Election
of Three New Directors.

A meeting of the guarantors of the May
music festival was called for last night in
one of the parlors of the Denison Hotel,
to decide whether or not a festival shall
be held next year. AS many of the guaran-
tors were not present the question was not
definitely decided. The directors were in
structed to ascertain the sentiment of the
guarantors and report at another meeting
to be held later probably, not until after
the election. The last festival was not a
financial success. and the men who had
pledged the guarantee fund of 81 900 were
given an opportunity to withdraw from
next years guarantee. At present IS $50 of
the guarantee remains standing and il is
presumed from this circumstance that the
sentiment of the majority of the guarantorS
is in favor of continuing the undertaking.
Ferd L. Mayer. chairman of the finance
committee, reported last night that of the
$4, 900 assessed to meet the deficit last May,
$500 has been sent in voluntarily and that
1t has been unnecessary to call on the guar
antorS for the money.
Last night four directors elected,
three for three years each and one for
one year. Those elected for three years are
Clemens Vonnegut, jr., Gavin l.. Payne and
Major Taylor. Andrew Smith, member of
the chorus, was elected for year.
There was general discussion last
night of plans for the future, but until
after it is finally decided that a festival
shall be held, nothing definite Will be done.

People in This City Heard the Chi.
cago Mckinley Demonstration.

The anniversary of the great Chicago fire
was celebrated yesterday by the sound
money clubs of the city. 1t was a notable
event. and great day for sound money.
The long distance telephone company

as the parade passed along. These teie-
phones We're connected with lines all over
the country. and the noise of the parade
was heard in the office of every metropolis
tan paper in the United States and also
by Major Mckinley at his home in Canton.
Everything was heard with perfect sis
tinotness in the Journal office. There We're
great cheers for Mckinley, and then the
music of a band would be heard in the dis
tance. gradually getting louder as 1t APP
preached the transmitter. and then fading
away in the distance again. Then would
come drum corps and the sound of many
bugles and flies. all of 1t being heard as
distinctly in this city as 1t was in Chi
cago, but with less volume Voices could
be heard above the din shouting for Me-
Kinley.

The chairman of the Popocratic national
committee has been sending Il circular to

Few Popocrntic BicycIists.

That Imitation is the sincerest fiattery"
was never better illustrated than in the
effort of the Popocrats to form a free silver
bicycle club in this city. Last June the
Journal IN it's bicycle column suggested
that it would be a good idea to organize a
bicycle club to be an adjunct of the ma
tional Republican committee. The sugges-
ton has materialzed in the organization
of a club that has grown to immense pro-
portions. Now the Popocrats see that 1t
ing tLei. best to organize "a similar club.
Last night the club held a meeting at the
Cleveland Club, and it was claimed that
there is an enrolment of two hundred
members, but the turnout TO escort Henry
Span to Haughville did not indicate much
more than 10 per cent OF that number.

A letter is published from Nelson Morris,
large cattle dealer of Chicago, in which
he says the exclusion of American live cat
tie and beef and hog products by the gov
ernments of Germany France, Switzerland.
Belgium and Austria, was caused by the
repeal of reciprocity by Democratic Con-
gress. He estimates the decrease of live
cattle and beef products on account of this
restriction of foreign countries equal to
$500 live cattle a week, and that Of hog
products to forty thousand live hogs a
week. These figures represent the loss to
American farmers and stock growers in the
decreased foreign consumption caused by
the repeal of the reciprocity law. AS to
home consumption Mr.. Morris writes:
One of the principal causes of the de-
crease In the value of cattle in addition
to the fact of the continental European
countries having closed their ports against
our American live animals and products,
thereby limiting our foreign outlets to Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, is the fact that
owing to the hard times through which
We are now passing, factories being closed
and laborers being out of employment, the
consumption of meats has decreased at
least 40 per cent. in this country. 1t is well
known that New England alone uses more
meats, also more hides for leather than we

w. H. T. of Huntington, asks the Jour
nal to reconcile the statement of Controller
Eckels that the deposits OF all the banks
in the country are 100000 0000, while the
last statement of the Treasury Department
gives the stock of money in the country as
81 345 631 23S There is no connection be-
tween the aggregate of deposits and the
stock of money in the country, for the rea-
son that deposits are not kept in the banks
but loaned out. There would be no profit
in banking if deposits were locked up by
the banks. For instance, A deposits in a
bank Sl00 in the morning; before noon the
bank lends the 500 to b to pay c a debt.
Before the bank closes C deposits the same
500 in the same bank. Here we have 800
deposited twice, making the total of de-
posts $500 for 500 of actual money
