TWO CASES OF COERCION"
A Pennsylvania Engine with ryan,
Picture-A Club ON War Path.

Picture-A Club on War Path.
There were two first-class examples of
coercion seen in this city yesterday. The
first was when a Pennsylvania Company
freight train was seen to pass around the
Belt railroad pulled by an engine that was
decorated with Bryan's pictures. OF course
this was done by coercion. Mr.. Darlington,
or Mr.. Brooks, or some other high official
compelled that enginee to put those pic
lures in his engine to show that the COM
pany is doing nothing to prevent its en-
ployes from voting just as they please.
There is no doubt of that. 1t is the only
explanation offered and must be true.
The other case of coercion was when
engineer John McKeever was compelled to
take the picture of Mckinley from his en-
CINE. The Cleveland Club, the club that
turned the picture of its pa iron saint to the
wall, went to Terre Haute yesterday to
hear Bryan. This club marched down to
the Union station to take a train and
CINE in charge of McKeever. who is a
SIrong Republican. They also found thai
on each side of the cab was a picture of
Mckinney and one of Hobart. These pic
lures were paced in the engine before it
started on It's third trip after the nomina-
ton of Mckinley. and had been there all
the time until yesterday. Some of the
members of the Cleveland club saw the pic
lures and demanded tina they be taken
down. Engineer McKeever refused to re-
move them, and threats were made that
they would be removed by force. The en-
sineer and fireman held their places and
refused to allow a member of the club to
step on the engine. The Popocrats saw
that 1T would mean more serious trouble
than they have had recently to attempt
to take the pictures from the engine and
SO they desisted. Finally T~rainmaster
Ready came along and learned of the diff
Guilty. He asked the engineer to remove
the pictures for the trip, but said he would
not make the request as an order. and that
the engineer had a perfect right to have
the pictures there if he wanted to keep
them up. The engineer then consented to
take them down and thus avoid the trouble
hat he knew would be sure to come at
the first stop if he should go out of the
city pulling such a crowd of men with the
pictures still flying.
Ben Stinson is employed by the Union
Railroad Company. He has been a Dem
ocrat all his life, and until within a few
days he has been wavering in regard to
how he should cast his vote this time. For
years he was employed by Taggart in the
depot restaurant. He has four brothers
who have never voted anything but the
Democratic ticket. Yesterday Ben Stinson
announced to his friends in the Union sta
ton that he had decided how he would
vote, and that he and his four brothers
would put in straight Mckinley ballots
this time.

INTIMIDATfNG VOTERS.
FIAmsy Scheme of PopOcrats Worked
Among the Factories.

Among the Factories.
Another fiimsy scheme of the Popocrats
to bride and intimidate voters has been dis
covered. 1t is so vapid and senseless as
to be ridiculous, but still it may be worth
while to expose it. An agent of the Popo-
cratic has been going to shops
and factories known to have sound-money
employees for the purpose of making wagers
on the election. The agent offers to bet SO
or SIS that Mckinley will carry Indiana by
10000 or 10000 votes. AS betting goes, this
would be regarded as a good thing, even
by Republicans. In most cases the men de-
clare that they are Republicans and are not
betting men, but with such odds against
the agent of the Popocrats, his suggestion
that the men form a pool is sometimes fol-
lowed, and the men contribute 81 each,
which is pooled against the agents stake.
By some pretext or other the agent gets
the signatures of the men in the pool to a
statement showing that they have
put up a wager. AS election day
approaches it is the intention to go
to the men who nave made bets
and warn them that they are disfranchised
This statement is absolutely false. Making
a bet Oil the result of an election does not
destroy a mans right to vote, but it does
incapacitate him from serving on an eco
ton board. Roscoe o. Hawkins, of the
State Election Board, says that the pur-
pose of the law is to prevent men who have
pecun1ary interests in the election from
having any chance to tamper with tally
sheets and change the results, so that they
might win their bets.
Besides this scheme to brighten voters
into believing that they have disfranchised
themselves by betting, the scheme covers
a. subtle effort to bride the w~orkingmen.
Ihe Popocrats believe that if men bet that
Mckinney will not carry the State by go. 600
or 10000 votes they will have a finan-
clal interest in TPducfnO hic Tnnjnritu a,1
will vote for Bryan and urge their com
panions to do likewise. In other words. the
PopocratS believe that laboring men will be
more anxious to win a dollar than to vote
their honest convictions. Republicans say
that laboring men will see through the
scheme to bride them at q dollar q vote.
1t was reported yesterday that this
scheme had been tried at Parry's cart
works. Some of the employees were a little
alarmed when it was suggested to them
that they had lost the right to vote by bet
ting.

Where Currency Is Deprecated.

George w. Fishback. Of st. Louis, is in
the city visiting his uncle, w. p. Fishback.
Mr.. Fishback was secretary of the Amer
lean legation at Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic. during the administration of
President Harrison, and also under Presi-
dent Cleveland, until he recently resigned.
He said the currency of that country is
greatly deprecated, and the paper money
is worth about 80 cents on the dollar, which
fuctuates from five to twenty points a day.
1t is 81 source of speculation. AS a result
the whole business of the country is de-
moralized, and a spirit of speculation in
tests the business community. There is no
gold in circulation; all business is carried
on with cheap money, and the highest-paid
mechanic is the engine driver. who gets $50
a month. Mr.. Fishback stated that the
same conditions existed in Brazil.
