is BAD FOR MATTHEW'S
OF THE HONEsT-M0NEY
DEMOCRACY PROVES A SURPRISE.
He Will Force the Unit Rule on the
Delegation - Myers's Prediction
Tempest In the Prohi Teapot.

When Governor Matthews returns from
his estate at Clinton to-day he will find that
there has been not little change in the
tune OF the Democratic chorus that gathers
in his office daily. The strong showing made
by the honest-money Democrats at their con-
ference Saturday night BODIES no good for
his presidential aspirations. The signers OF
the call for a sound-money mass meeting
represent not only most. Of the intelligence
and leadership Of the party In Indiana, but
also most OF its financial strength, its
sources of campaign funds. The average
Democrat is fully alive TO the fact that ii
takes a heap of the ''sinews'' to run good,
wide-open Democratic campaign and this in
fiuence is apt to have considerable weight in
stemming the tide.
Then the danger of sending two delegates
from this district opposed to his candidacy
is likely TO prove very embarrassing to the
Governor. 1t is not the votes that count
so much, for he has already figured on hav-
ing the State convention adopt the unit
rule" which Democratic national conven-
tons have always upheld. in order to hold
down any recalcitrants that might turn up
In the delegation, but he needs the hearty
and loyal support of all the Indiana people
who attend the convention to pull him
through and the opposition Of couple of
men on the delegation, even though they
were compelled to vote for him, would do
him much harm.
The getting together has given lot Of
sound-money Democrats the courage Of their
convictions and the chances are that the
meeting OF next Thursday will bring out q
great many who are willing to stand UP and
be counted. II feel that this Is the most
serious question we are likely to have to
deal with for years." said w. r. Myers
yesterday. IF this country should give 1t
out to the financial institutions OF the world
that Ii proposes to go to a silver basis there
would be such a collapse of credit and such
tightening of the money market as the
people have never known before, even in
the severest panics we have had. Do you
suppose that the man TO whom
you owe money is going TO give
you an extension of time or
that anybody else is going to make you a
new loan If he believes that when the time
comes for you to pay you will be able TO
meet the obligation with money worth only
half "a much as the money he has loaned
you? Not for a moment. He will come down
upon you right now and have that money
before its value depreciates or force you into
bankruptcy. Not only foreign, but home
banks and capitalists well, will call in
every loan they can the moment the fear of
free silver becomes general and then will
follow the stringency, the panic and the de-
struction or values and general distress that
always come in their train

A JOB LOT OF WHEELS
THE PARADE OF THE GOOD OLD OR
DINARIEs TO BROAD RIPPLE.
4 bicycle Made I'm 1867 Led the Pro-
cessfOn-Only One Header Re-
corded During the Day.

Yesterday morning, between and 10
o'clock. North Meridian street presented a
circus day appearance. The people were out
In force to see the passing Of the Good
Old Ordinary" 1T was a jolly party that
labored along on tnirty-nine OF the most
disreputable pieces of mechanism that were
ever graced with the name bicycle. When
the Ordinary run was first talked Of it
was thought that not more than q bakers
dozen riders would turn out to participate,
the great difficulty being to secure the
wheels. II was believed that the number in
the city would not reach more than twenty
or twenty-five, at the most, 50 those inter-
ssted were much surprised when it became
known that there would be probably forty
starters. This was surprising. too. when the
fact Is considered that IN a similar run In
Chicago. recently. only twenty-one riders
could be mustered on the high wheels.
There was conglomeration of all kinds of
wheels in the lot. The one that attracted
the most attention was a velocipede or the
period before even the old ordinary was
known This machine was made in 1867. 1t
was made OF wood wheels with iron tires.
just like wagon wheels. The saddle was al
most over the rear wheel. while the riders
legs stuck out in front, like the pedal ap-
pendages of a grasshopper. in order to reach
the cranks attached 10 the axle OF the front
wheel The rider of this machine led the
parade. and attracted a great deal of atten-
ton along the route. He was followed by
Carl Fisher on his giraffe" ordinary
safety, made with frame that puts the
rider about ten feet in the air.
Then came all kinds or the old styles.
There were the common ordinary and the
uncommon ordinary: machines with big
wheels in front and machines with little
wheels In front In the entire lot there was
cn,y one wheel that could boast of any of
its former nickle plating, and IL was the
envy OF all the others. There were two
wheels with tires made OF hemp rope, in
lieu OF metning better.
With all this aggregation OF back-number
wheels and riders. unaccustomed to such
machines, there was only one header taken,
and that did not result seriously. Only few
square inches OF skin were scraDed of and
LETT mingled with the gravel of North Illi-
nois street. IL was too much scattered to be
TO be on the side of the ordinary" for tt
was very noticeable that the riders of several
safeties had sudden contacts with the ground
at times when least expected.
At Broad Ripple there was a crowd await
ing the arrival OF the high wheel riders, and
at the park they were looked for with much
expectancy Dinner had been ordered at the
park restaurant for forty riders. and after
the hard pull they were ala In good shape to
do full justice 10 the spread, which was ex-
cellent. The return was not made in a body
the riders struggling into town by twos and
tours until evening.

THE PITTsBuRG CONVENTION.
The Fight Which the Prohibitionists
Are to- Have This Week.


Small parties occasionally have troubles
OF their own as well as the larger political
organizations, and there is quite a tempest
in teapot brewing at Pittsburg this week,
where the Prohibitionists meet in national
convention. The same fight between the
''broad-gauge'' and ''narrow-gauge" factions
that was fought out in the Indiana State
convention in March will be gone over
again in Pittsburg, with the Same leaders
Of the opposing forecast. John and Wool
ley. st. John and his crowd want the plat
form to declare for free silver and various
other isms, and call themselves broad
gauge" while they denominate Woolley
and MS Followers, who want TO hold the
platform down to the main issue upon
which the party was founded, as narrow
gauge" The Indiana convention declared
for the St. John idea, and the forty fifty
members or the party who will attend will
go TO shout for the ''broad-gauge" policy.
In case they win, which they regard as en-
tireiy probable, the Indiana contingent Will
press the claims of State Chairman j. S.
Dunlap. or Franklin. for national Chairman,
gauge" man. The Indiana people will go
In a special train, leaving 1rvington to-
morrow evening. Among those who expect
to attend are the following: j. G.. Kings
bury, or Irvington, the nominee for Cover
nor; +. L. McWhirter, sylvester Johnson.
L. Nj. Crist, of Thorntown; A l.. Sharp. of
Kokomo; William Edgerton, of Henry coun-
or Franklin; Helen NJ Cougar. OF Lafay-
ette; ]. E. Pauley. of Lafayette; u. f.
Maish, of Franklin, and the Rev. Mr.. Hoag-

HORsELESs CARRIAGE EN- ROUTE
1t Will Reach This City from Dam
VILE, H., This Afternoon.

Fl. Mueller. of Decatur, H.. viii arrive In
the city this afternoon with his horseless
carriage. 1t will be the first one ever seen
IN this city. He left Decatur yesterday af-
ternoon and reached Danville. IL, last night
at $40 o'clock, distance Of eighty-four
miles. He was met near Danville by dele
cation of wheelmen, but he soon showed
them his heels. Mr.. Mueller will leave Dan
vile this morning, and will reach this city
some time this afternoon. The distance is
about Zoe miles. The route Is not known, but
as the direct route is via Covington and
Charlottesville, IL is likely that Mr.. Mueller
will take that course. The vehicle can make
about fifteen miles an hour, or mile In
four minutes. Some time will be consumed
in stopping at the various towns along the
route, so that is is not probable that Mr.
Mueller will reach this city before the mid
die of the afternoon, unless he Is intending
TO come straight through, SO as to test the
speed and endurance for a long distance
In that case he might reach this city by y
or 1 o'clock by making an early start. He Is
bringing the vehicle here to exhibit IL at
the meeting of water works men.

privilege, came in yesterday, and they are
pleased with the prospects for the Indian
