a M'KINLEY LANDSLIDE
STATE COMMITTEE IN IT'S FINAL RE-
VIEW SEES ONE COMING.
Martins Vain Effort to Stem the Tide
to Scare Sound-MOney
Work men from Voting.

The Republican State and executive
committees met yesterday afternoon to
take a final review of the situation in In
diana. Last Monday the committee met
and each member was sent out over his
district. accompanied by another Repub-
Iiean not connected with the organization,
in order that the two might make a thor
ough review and report at headquarters
The meeting to-day was for the purpose
of hearing these reports. After the meet
ing members OF the committee stated that
they were thoroughly satisfied with the sit
uation and were ready for the election
right away. They expressed the universal
belief that Mckinley would carry the State
by anywhere from so 1000 to so. 600.
I'm all my experience in the committee"
said Chairman Gowdy. last evening, 81
have never heard such favorable reports
upon the final review of the State. Each
man went over his district by counties and
displayed a thorough knowledge of con.
ditions prevailing in each county. Two
years ago at this final meeting of the COM
mittee there were two or three gloomy re-
ports and notes of alarm, arising, as the
vote showed. from imperfect knowledge of
conditions. This year we have a much
more thorough knowledge of the situation,
and | say to you that we shall not only
carry Indiana for Mckinley and the whole
State ticket, but we shall carry it by a
big enough figure to control the Legislature
in both houses, under the Democratic
g-errymander of 1885, and to pull through
the whole congressional delegation-and
you know what it means with one dis
trict containing a normal plurality of 1000
against u.s."

ager; that 7 always had edited 1T that way.
and that when the paper changed It's pohcy
1T must change its editor
4 have not and do not charge that Mr:
Lee Nixon or Congressman Overstreet had
ever paid a dollar directly or indirectly 10
the Nonconformist office. All that l sald
was that this A. G. Mckee told me that ne
got money from Mr.. Nixon, but he sald
hat this money was paid to him out or
friendship to him growing out of services
which he had rendered to Mr.. Nixon IN the
past.
My own personal opinion about this
whole affair is this: That these men, NC
Kee and McAllister, were trying TO make
merchandise of the Office. and that they
were trying to trade with the Democrats
on the superstition that unless they PAID
money the Republicans would get the
paper. l am under the impression that
they took the proof sheets OF the sup
pressed edition of the Nonconform1st,
which was not allowed to go out, to the
Democrats and secured the purchase money
which resulted in the dismantiement OF the
establishment from them as a considera-
ton for not letting the paper go out. 1t
seems clear to me that the Democrats had
a motive in suppressing the paper. 1t also
seems clear to me that the party alleged to
have purchased the paper could not posi-
bly, have got the money except through
agencies interested in Suppressing the
paper. So far as | know, neither the State
Republican committee nor the national Re-
pub lean committee has had the slightest
knowledge or interest in any of these trans
actions

A BATTLE SHIP MODEL.
VIII BE One of the Bicycle Features
at State Celebration.

All the Republican clubs seem to be MAX
ing special efforts to assure the success of
the State celebration Oct. 81. The National
Wheelmen's Mckinley and Hobart Club
has already decided on a number of novel
features, probably the most important of
which will be the float representing the
battle ship Indiana. George Keep, adju-
tant of the ttarnbeau corps, has prepared a
model of the loaf. 1t is to be twenty-five
feet in length, seven feet across amidships
ret.
The float is to be mounted on bicycle
wheels and is to be drawn by a pair of
tandems. The model shows the turrets of
the battle ship with guns projecting. The
guns Will discharge Roman candles, While
mines and stars will be discharged from the
smokestaeks. The float will be escorted by
the fambeau corps and along the line of
march colored lights will be set off. Mr..
Keep is now at work completing the float.
The frame work is to be of wood. covered
with canvas and oil cloth. 1t promises to
create almost as much of a sensation as
the locomotive did in the r~ailroaders' pa
rade last week. a number of merchants
have offered prizes to the bicyclists.

TRYING TO STEIN THE TIDE.
Martins Scheme to Head Or Deserving
Committeeman

Chairman Martin, Of the Popocratic State
committee. has sent out a letter warning
his county chairmen to look out for mem
bers of the precinct committees, who are
likely to sell out, and intimat-
ing that all those who quit the organ
iZation at this time will stand accused of
having been bribed to do so. This is an eff
fort to stem the disintegration of the or
ganization that has set in since the deal
with the Populists was closed. When the
Democratic organization throughout the
State was made last January it was con-
trolled by men who were for sound money.
After the Chicago convention most of
these men stayed with the organization and
held it intact until a couple OF weeks ago,
when the deal with the Populists was
closed and five PopulistS were put upon the
electoral ticket. Then leaders like Mr..
Sheerin, ex-secretary of the national COM
mittee, and Mr.. Holt, ex-chairman of the
State committee, could stand it no longer
and got out, giving the Democrats of the
State very plain reasons why they could
no longer remain with the organization.
Under these circumstances it is not at all
strange that large numbers of men lower
down in the ranks should also let go. They
have been GLOWING these leaders in blind
obedience for years and they follow them
still. During the past two weeks there
have been It large number of designations
of precinct committeeman and Mr.. Martins
letter is an effort to prevent the organiza-
ton from going to pieces.
