The fusion upon county and legislative

BRANCH LIBRARIES NAMES.
Proposed to Honor the Literary Men
of Indiana.

Tbs library committee of the School
Board has determined on the furniture for
the library branch stations in the north
east, northwest, southeast and southwest
parts of the city. 1t will now be but a short
time till these branches are opened to the
public. 1t is intended to keep the branches
open from 3 o'clock in the afternoon till
$3.50 in the evening. The first plan was to
have them open for several hours in the
morning, but after it was considered that
the children in the neighborhoods will all
be in school during the morning and the
housewives will be engaged with their do
nestle duties. it was deemed best to keep
afternoon and evening hours. 1t has been
proposed to name the four branches after
ms an e pie no have iStingu shed them
selves in the literary field. A Riley branch
and aLew Wallace branch have been sug-
gested. In a number of cities the numbers
attached to public schools have been aban-
doned and instead names of American lite
rateurs given them. This familiarize the
children with the names Of these notables.

NO-nccnformist Didn't Receive II Cent
from Republicans.

1t is getting rather tiresome business,
this thing of proving the absurdity and
gfoundlessnes of wild stories printed from
day to day in the Sentinel.
Yesterday morning the Journal printed
a card from Charles X. Math-
ews, in which he explained that the
Popocratic organ had taken an interview
from him and twisted it into a partisan lie,
putting him in the attitude of declaring
that he knew that y. c.. Mckee. one of the
late proprietors of the Nonconformist had
received Republican money to the amount
of $l25 a week through Lee Nixon in order
to purchase the influence of the paper and
keep it in line as a middle-of-the-road
Populist organ. Mr.. Mckee yesterday
handed the following, which he signed, to
d Journal reporter for publication:
My attention has been called to certain
published statements of Charles X. Math-
ews to the effect that / was paid at the
rate of $125 a week by Lee Nixon for the
purpose of continuing the Nonconformist
as a middle-Cf-the-roa Populist paper. /
desire to say that neither Mr.. Nixon nor
anybody else purchased the influence of the
paper by either direct or indirect payments

AT THE BALL PARK,
Representative Overstreet Addresses

u Crowd OF ZOO.
A thousand people at the base
ball park last evening to hear the speech
of Representative Overstreet on the money
question. Had it not been for the GOODNESS
OF the evening and the damp atmosphere
this number would have been doubled. The
Marion Escort Club, headed by the When
band, marched to the baseball park, es-
corting Mr.. Overstreet, and following came
the Mckinley and Hobart Bicycle Club,
numbering about $50 riders.
the main portion of the grand stand was
nlled with waiting people. and as soon as
Mr.. Overstreet arrived empty seats were
filled and a number went up into the SOC
ond floor of the grandstand. Out in the
baseball field there was a pyrotechnic dis
play. and the red lights burned Illuminated
the entire ground. The speakers stand
stood too far out from the grand stand,
and the Marion Escort Club seized hold of
1t and carried it up close to the wire net
ting. When Representative Oyerstreet en-
tered the speakers stand a loud, ringing
cheer went up from the crowd. Ex-Judge
Stubs made a neat little Introductory
speech, which was followed by a song from
the Marion glee cub. Representa- live over
street then addressed the crowd, which
gave him close attention. Charles S. Wilt

AFRAID TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
TagSart Insists ON Passing on Demo
CRATIC Election Officers

The Popocratic managers in Marion
county held meetings of precinct commit
teemen in each ward in the city last hight.
These meetings were called at the sugges-
tion of Thomas Taggart for the purpose of
scrutinizing with the greatest care the
names handed in to Chairman Rockford
for election sheriffs, judges. CLERKS, chal-
lengers and book holders. There have been
so many recent designations of precinct
committeeman and so many discoveries
that others in the ranks were not in SYM
pathy with the radical silver push" that
a feeling of suspicion pervades the ranks
ali the way through, and nobody knows
Just whom to trust. Each man is under
suspicion by the men working with him,
and they are having a merry time of it.
The ward meetings last night were secret,
and if some of the men named for election
day jobs could have heard the things said
about them there would be blood to-day.
None of the meetings finished t-eir work
in satisfactory fashion last night, and
meetings OF the same character will be held
this evening.

turned from Chicago last Saturday ne
brought a goodly chunk of the campaign
fund put up by the silver barons. and the
usual practice is being followed of putting
nearly all Of it into beer money tor this
ounty though enough is being reserved
for corruption purposes on election day.
This desire to reserve enough for a grand
raid on the float on election day has
made the committee a bit careful about
who gets the free beer. Ii a man is known
as all right and in no danger of boiling he
has a heap of trouble in getting an order
upon Mr.. Donneily, but if he is known TO
be rather doubtful he can get it without
