position.

A SLAP AT CHEADLE.
Delphi Democratic Paper Demands =
New Candidate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
DELPHI. Ind. Aug. 2l.-The Delphi
Times. the recognized Democratic organ
Of this city. came out In a double-leated
editorial this morning announcing that IL
would not support Joseph Il. cheadle. the
ex-Republican who has been nominated by
the Populists and Democrats of this dis
trict for Congress. The Times calls atten-
ton TO the fact that several weeks before
Cheadle was nominated by either party for
Congress number of the leading Demo-
Gratis OF this county met In this city with
william Johnson. the Democratic district
chairman. of Crawfordsville. TO discuss the
feasibility OF Cheadle's nomination. In
that meeting many Democrats announced
openly that they would not support him IL
nominated and the understanding was that
his nomination would not be further con-
sidered.
The Times charges that his nomination
was the result Of a trick and trade and
that the Democrats OF the district are not
bound TO support him.
The Times charges that Mr.. cheadle II
a political adventurer. willing TO accept
any platform or nomination from any
party. and that he has declared within the
last few days that he did not stand with
ton.
II shows that he participated I'm the pre-
Iiminary conventions OF the Republican
party at Frankfort this spring and became
angered because his party would not send
him as a delegate 10 one OF the district
conventions.
II charges that while canvassing the old
Ninth district as Republican candidate
for Congress he Frequently made the A.

The Times charges that Cheadle is not
consistent silver man: That as a Repub-
licsn Congressman he voted against the

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-The presence of
Secretary Carlisle down town to-day and

j. NJ. Morgan & Co., caused some talk
about the possibility of another bond issue.

DVDOIS'S FATE SEALED.
The Republican BOlter Left Out I'm the
Cold by Dems and Pops.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-Some of the
silver leaders in Washington are not at all
surprised at the course of events in Idaho,
where the Populists and Democrats have
fused. leaving the silver Republicans to
flock by themselves. One who has recently
returned from the West says that the
suit is largely due to the course Senator
Dubois has pursued in Idaho. Instead of
cutting loose from the Republican party
Senator Dubois and his friends went into
the Republican committee and carried il
by one majority and, instead of organizing
as a silver party or inviting fusion. main
tanned their organization as Republicans.
The Populists and Democrats claimed that
any Republican organization ought to be
for Mckinley If it claimed the name and
insisted that Dubois must leave the Re-
publican party. as Teller and Pettigrew
have done. There has been a great deal
of hostility between Dubois and the other
two parties and the PopuIists and Demo-
Gratis say that If they elect Dubois Senator
they Will not be sure that he will remain
with them. Silver men here say they have
information that the Bryan electoral ticket
will carry the State and that the antago-
nism is more personal to Dubois than any
thing else.
The situation. however continues to wor-
ry the managers at both the Populist and
fected yesterday, which ignores the silver
Republicans. they believe. will react
throughout the West and greatly embarras
and hamper their campaign. An adjustment
of the matter, which will give proper recog-
milton to the silver Republicans, is regarded
at both headquarters as of the highest i'm
portance. just what the managers are do
ing cannot be ascertained. but it is evident
that they are actively engaged in trying TO
secure reconsideration of the action of
the committee which arranged the terms o.
the fusion. Some important developments
are expected in few days.
Senator Butler. chairman of the Populist
committee. says that he has been receiving
some very favorable reports from different
States where there have been disagree
ments between the Populsts and Demo-
Gratis as TO fusion on electors. 1t is now be-
lieved that the offer of the Populists in
Texas to take seven of the fifteen delegates
will be accepted. In West Virginia the COM
mittee have about agreed upon a division
giving the Democrats four and the Popu-
lists two electors. Ii is also stated that the
chances of fusion in North Carolina have
improved.
1t was stated at Populist headquarters
that they believed the Idaho fusion would
be arranged so as to give the silver Repub-
licans share of the offices and an equal
interest in the campaign. the electors 10 be
divided among the three parties. The ma
tional Populist committee. IL stated.
will insist upon this and will be joined in il
by the Democratic national committee.

Lumber Interests suffering.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 21.-The directors
of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's
Association issued to-day circular TO the
members showing that the cut this year
has been curtailed more than % per cent.
and that the sawmills are idle, while the
importation of Canadian lumber has
doubled. The directors declare that this
state of affairs is due to the reduction of
the tariff on lumber and the fear of free
silver. They advise members to impress
these facts on their employees. and point
out that the maintenance of a protective
tariff and the existing gold standard is a
matter of business and not of politics.

The object of the meeting was TO organ

the fact is they did not and have not yet

rolled" the Democratic chairman OF the
meeting said the next morning they got

not at any time during the evening i35 men

fact is. these three are the only ones In
the town who are even talking free silver.
One of them. Mr.. Barker, said this morn

for Mckinley and also that he would vote
for Bryan. He Is a friend of Joe Cheadle
and will do whatever Mr.. Cheadle does.
Mr.. Riley, the last one. has not committed
himself either way. He is for free silver
but not for free trade nor any other Popo-
cratic doctrine. Mr.. Mcdaniel cannot con-
troll another vote. as he has no following or
influence. He was defeated for the nominal
