OFFER THE CITY A SITE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
LEASE THEIR BACK YARD.
City Could Put Offices. Police Station
and Fire Headqua rters i'm the
Courthouse Yard.

Controller Johnson and the County Com
missioners had a. short talk yesterday
afternoon in regard TO some new arrange
ment for the city offices. During the con-
ference it was suggested by the commits
sioners that it might be a good plan for
the city to erect new building to suit its
conveniences and that as the work of some
of the city departments is so closely con-
nected with the county offices the commits
.sioners might agree TO lease the city por-
ton of the north half of the courthouse
square which to erect building suited
to the citys needs. No terms were con-
sidered nor was any particular plan pro-
posed. The matter simply came up in an
informal chat. Commissioner Reinecke
thinks it would be the best thing for the
city to do. The entire north half of the
square is vacant and might well be oc-
cupied as not, he thinks.
At present, as all who have any business
in the basement of the courthouse know
the city is very much hampered on account
of the many Inconvenience encountered,
besides the employees are In damp, muSty
place that breeds disease. There is ample
space on the north half of the lot to erect
the buildings necessary for the use of the
city and at the same time provide room for
the police station and Police Court SO as
to do away With that great eyeSore-the
present police station. There is also room
there TO provide for what has been talked

headquarters of the fire department. Thus
the Police Court, police station, fire depart
ment headquarters and the office of the
Board of Safety could be placed in one part
of the, building. leaving the rest of it for
the other needs of the city. 1t would not
require very large building to accom-
modate ell of these things and bring the
city affairs close together. This arrange
ment would be a great advantage to the
Department of Safety. it is insisted. 1t
would place the police and fire telephone
exchange together and make saving TO
that department of the services of three
men, which would amount TO about 81 500
a year 500 more than is at present paid
for the rental OF the basement of the court
house. There could also be other savings
made by combining to a certain extent the
work at the headquarters of the police and
fire departments. not by combining the
records, but by having one man attend to
certain duties which now require two men

A FRAUDULENT NOMINATION.
Petition Demanding New PopOcrat-
lie Convention.


The Popocrats seem to be in for trouble
over the joint senatorial convention for
Marion, Hancock and Shelby counties, held
Aug. q. At that time there was juggling
with the count that nearly produced riot,
and the police had to be called in to quell
the disturbance. Now a petition is in cir
culation and has been signed by thirty
eight of the Marion county delegates to the
convention, declaring that the nomination
of John NJ. Bailey was accomplished by
fraud and that his opponent, Michael W.
Carr, was counted out. and demanding that
the convention be reconvened. The petition
declares that twenty-siX votes cast for Carr
were counted for Bailey and that the Sew
enth ward was not permitted to change its
vote to Carr, as it desired 1t also declares
that verification of the vote, demanded
by twenty delegates, was refused. Efforts
have been made to force Carr himself to
head off the movement, but he does not
seem inclined to do it. He said to-day:
Personally | regard this movement as
democratic, manly and just. while at the
because it states some of the facts and
frauds and demands justice for me, since
/ the rightful nominee of the con-
vention. However, | owe it to my party
affiliations to put all personal considera-
tionS behind me and let this outrage upon
Democracy and justice be sanctioned or re-
buked as far as may be, by the voters.

Although the weather was so bad last
night that the bicycle parade of the McKin

be given, there was enough enthusiasm
among the members to draw 456 of them to
the hall on North Meridian street, where
the club meets Those present were count
ed as accurately as such a crowd can be
counted, while w. L. Taylor was address
ing them. The reports of the enrolment
of members showed that 1856 new names
have been added TO the roll since the last
meeting. This includes two full companies,
Company l., of the colored battalion of

not membership large enough to exclude
new members. The minimum is thirty and
the maximum fifty
During the evening there was an address
by w. l.. Taylor and a short talk by E.
j. Richards, who has charge of the trip to
Canton next Friday night,
The letter containing the information
that is so badly wanted of the trip to Can

not be read to the members last night. 1t
is expected that it will be here in time for
the meeting tomorrow night, which will
De heid at the same place. SO many have
expressed their intention of making the

that there will be large party from here.
Tomorrow night if the weather will per-
nit, there will be the parade that to

formation and the line of march have been
printed twice and will be the same an
nounced yesterday morning. Last night
the following letter was read to the mem
bers of the club:
Major Mckinley directs me to express
his thanks to you for your courtesy in
sending him a telegram stating that four
teen companies of the National Wheelmens
Mckinley and Hobart Club had been
ganized in your city. He directs me to ex-
press his qualification, and asks that you

to the members of the organization. He
regrets that, owing to the great demands

A POLITICAL sCHLATTER.
Bryan So Described by Mr.. Chambers
in His Speech.

The First Voters Mckinley Club, which
numbers 250 members met last night in the
Commercial Travellers Hall, at 81 North
Pennsylvania street. Smiley N. Chambers
delivered the address of the evening. MIR.
Chambers said that the greatness of the
Nation and the fact that every avenue of
advancement open to all was reason
why the young men should be especially in
terested in the campaign. The legislation
of the Republican party had been benefi-
cial to the whole country and in direct con-
trast to the policy of Mr.. Bryan, who is
stirring up sectionalism and strife. After
speaking of Bryan's campaign methods, Mr..
Chambers said that Schlatter, the divine
healer had momentarily attracted the pub
lie eye and then disappeared, would this
political Schlatter from the plains of Ne
braska with a cure-all for political evils,
disappear from the valley of the Platte.
The speaker then took up Mckinleys rec
ord as soldier lawyer and Congressman,
comparing it with Bryans. He outlined
the experience of England two hundred
years ago, when the English people passed
through period similar to the present con-
diton in own country. Mr.. Chambers
closed by reading an extract from one OF
. Webster s speeches delivered in the Senate,
describing a like condition of affairs at that
time-siXty -two years ago. r. f. Davidson
is president and w. d. Shepherd secretary
of the club 1t is the clubs intention to
adopt a uniform.
