Recognizing Defeat Is Certain, the
PopnIists Arc Now Crying Fraud.


Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2e.-Realizing the
hopelessness of the Popocratic cause, the
managers of the combination pre-
pairing their dupes for defeat by crying
fraud. Secretary Edgerton, of the Populist
national committee, to-day issued the fol-
lowing:
THE preposterous claims made by the
Republican committees in regard to the
idea of fraud in all the doubtful States. Nc
kinley on fair vote is beaten by
an overwhelming majority. The Republic
ans realize this Yet in the face of this
they make claims of an enormous majority
for Mckinley, but give no figures TO back
up their claims. They depend upon out
right purchase of voters and election boards
to furnish majorities they are predicting.
Why do they make these claims? Sim
evidence which they now have of victory
for Mckinley, but on what they think
Hannsts immense campaign fund may do.
We have evidence that in the election next
Tuesday fraud will be attempted the
most stupendous scale ever known in Amer
lean politics. One plan is to buy up cleo
tually falsify the returns. But the plan on
which they depend most is as follows: In
each precinct of each of the doubtful
States they will buy up purchasable men
In this way: They will give a man $40 or
$l5 and pledge him that after election they
will give him so much more if he holds the
vote of that precinct to a certain figure
They Will buy as many men in each pre-
cinct as they can find for sale, Already,
in each of the doubtful States, they have
cappers bought up by the hundreds to
handle Republican money on the last two
days before election and on election day
and the plan will be not to buy men out
right, but to give them so much money
with a pledge to double the amount If they
hold the vote of that precinct to certain
figure. We have indsputable evidence that
this is the Plan on which Mark Hanna and
his hirelings place their final dependence.

HERBERT IN ALABAMA.
Secretary of the Navy Speaks to Many
SOund-MOnex Democrats.


TROY, Ala, Oct. 29.-Secretary Herbert
of the navy, spoke here to a splendid audi
ence to-day. 1t was the first of four
speeches which he will make in this, the
district which he represented for several
times in Congress, and his old constituents
always have a hearty welcome for him.
Colonel Herbert's speech to-day was a
clear and exhaustive discussion of the
whole political situation. He defended the
Cleveland administration and every refer
ence he made to Mr.. Cleveland was heartily
applauded. He explained how the Bolto-
Gratis had departed from Democratic prin-
ciples, taking with them from the party
only the name and election machinery. He
discussed the financial question at consid-
cradle length. showing the utter folloy of
arguments advanced by the silver advo-
Gates and depicting the nlisfortunes of the
country at large that would attend the
tabiiShment of free-silver coinage. He as
sured his hearers, however, that there was
occasion for little anxiety on that score.
Colonel Herberts speech served to rally the
gold-Standard Democrats here considerably
and many votes were made for Hon. Il. H.
Clark. the gold-standard Democratic NOM
fnee for Congress. Voters of the adjoining
counties attended and the Secretary was
shown the attention due his rank and sta
tion. He will speak at Evergreen to-mor-
row morning, at Greenville Saturday morn
ing and Montgomery Saturday night. He
will remain in Montgomery which is his
home, until after the election. He will vote
for Palmer and Buckner.
