Ii Was on Tap at Their Headquarters
Yesterday.

Yesterday being the last day before cleo
ton. the Popocratic headquarters in Wash
ington Hall was filled with constant
stream of voters clothed in all stages of
WORKOUT clothing and looking for jobs. The
committee room swarmed like a hive of
bees, and dOorkeeper Boone permitted the
entrance of only those who whispered in
his ear and showed credentials to prove
that they belonged 10 the party and had
business inside. The barrel-house element
lounged comfortably the chairs in the
waiting room. Now and then a well-dressed
Popocrat would drop in among them for a
little chat that ended i'm the refreshment
room in the rear of the hall. This refresh
ment room was necessary adjunct to the
Popocratic cause. and the popping of the
corks from the beer bottles did more to
inspire Popocracy in the hearts of those
who were plotted back into the room than
all the speeches that Bryan has manufac-
tured during the campaign. Tom Taggart,
with MS omnipreSenI smie, fitted here and
there throughout the headquarters Whisper

and when they clamored for something TO
wash the words down with he disappeared
past doorkeeper Boone into the committee
room ana the lock Clicked against all 1Ol-
lowers.
One ill-clad man succeeded I'm passing
doorkeeper Boone. and half an hour later
he came out denouncing the party and de-
claring that they could be hanged for his
vote. He explained to "a cluster of COM
rades who speedily Joined him that he had

a Housing Meeting at SOund-MOney
Headquarters.

hea0Quafters
A rousing meeting at the sound-money
headquarters in the old Sentinel building
ended the campaign, SO far as speech
making is concerned, last night. The big
room was packed until a late hour and elo-
quent and stirring speeches were made by
a number of enthusiastic orators. The bur-
den of the speeches was an earnest appeal
TO voters to go to the polls to-day and
stamp the eagle for Mckinley, the return
of prosperity and national integrity. OF all
the enthusiastic crowds that have gathered
in that place the last six weeks, the crowd
last night was the most fervent and en-
thusiastic. Every appeal 20 the voters
present met prolonged shouts and cheers:
McKinleys name was yelled again and
again The speakers were constantly inter-
rupted by outbreaks of applause.
A few of the Fort Bragg Bryan veterans
gathered in front of Sam Dinnin's saloon
and; although some of them gave occasion
al shouts for their leader, they were nearly
always drowned by the voices of passing
Republicans cheering for Mckinley. Some
OF the Bryanites seemed to resent the in
truson and snarled and made angry
threats that were never carried out. David

Until midnight there was a big crowd at
the corner of Washington and Meridian
streets, rehashing all the arguments that
have been made this fail. Some of them
had an exceedingly chestnuty flavor, but
the curbstone orators argued just as fierce
ly as they did when the first gun was fired
at Fort Bragg.
Il tell you what Ii is boys" said one
man about midnight, 1.-The best thing for us
to do is to go home and get some rest to-
night and then go to the polls tomorrow,
stamp the eagle ourselves and then hustle
out and bring in the stragglers."
That amt no lie.' shouted several at
once, and the crowd scattered.

statement to include any violation of the
Nicholson law.

A Whisker Election Bet.

Wagers of money on the different points
of the election are abegging for takers. but
the sporting element in some men cannot
be subdued because they can find no takers
for their bets. and as a consequence some
thing else is substituted in place of money
in the terms of wagers, and the bets are
duly made. Hats, shoes, canes, neckties,
gloves and suits of clothes have all been hit
upon, and now comes a bet of whiskers.

has partisan principles so thoroughly en-
grated in his constitution that his mus

Keach,s check for $1,000.

James L. Reach yesterday deposited with
the Indianapolis News a check for $1,000, to
be used as a reward for the detection of
any violation of the election law. The in
tention is to watch closely the proceedings
of the committee of one hundred" and see
that none of the vote-brokers on the list
follow their well-knoWn tactics of corrupt
ing voters. Mr.. Reach accompanied his
check by the following announcement:
Il believe that The committee of one hum
dred is playing a bluff. i am reliably in
formed that some of the silver fellows have
received money for election purposes. Let
the committee of one hundred keep an eye
on these. too. We propose TO do So and

Carried a Revolver. TOO.

Yesterday afternoon William Summer, of
455 West Pratt street, was distributing d
lot of scurrilous circulars among the crowd
at the corner of Delaware and Washington
streets. The circular was libel on Ca
briel l.. Jones, colored candidate for the
Legislature on the Republican ticket. As
Summer is himself a colored man. his ac-
ton caused considerable Indignation among
the c)lored men in the crowd, and they
gathered around him TO demand an explain

II was getting pretty warm for the bill

up against him, thought he felt a pistol in
the mans pocket. Patrolmen Cox and
Guntz were near by. and they arrested
Summer. He had pistol. and was slated
for carrying concealed weapons.
