DUNN'S SIDE OF IT.
The Mink" Darkly Hints at
Mistakes That Might
Be Fraud.

There now appears to be another YER
sion of the row which occurred at the en-
rolment at the Minkalswa Club house on
Wednesday night, between Captain Rose,
President of the Greenville League Re-
publican Club, and Clerk of the Poll Win
field Dunn, of the Minkakwa Club.
AS was related in 1.-The News of last
evening. Mr.. Dunn made Captain Hose,
who had been accused of bolting the local
ticket at the spring election, swear that
he had voted the Republican ticket at the
last election. The Captain felt very in
dignant over this action as he regarded
it as insulting reference to the unsub-
stantiated charges which were made
against him and some fellow members.
Now" said Mr.. Dunn, to a reporter
last night, ''as Rose persists in having
the story published I win tell you some
things which he left out. The course 1
took was made necessary by Roses ac.
tions. In company with another gentle
man he came and offered list of nine
rames from the Second precinct which he
wished to enroll. Upon looking them
over I found three to have been already
enrolled and several of the others to have
addresses known to me to be vacant lots
One of the names did not even belong
to citizen, CAPTAIN Rose said ne would
go out and investigate the matter. He
returned some time after with the right
addresses and names but not as many If

HONEST DEMOCRATS.
Principles of the Sound Money
League Organization
Growing Rapidly.

The Democratic Sound Money League
will meet at the Hotel Washington Mon
day evening The object of the associa-
ton is to antagonize the un-democratic
principles enunciated in the platform of
the Chicago convention and to defeat the
candidates nominated thereon.
To effect this object the association
proposes to inauggrate and carry into
effect system of EDUCATION on the lines
of sound Democratic doctrine, by incul-
eating in the minds of the people the
Importance of preserving the honor and
integrity of the nation, and of reafirming
as a principle the sacredness and in
volatility of contract obligation, ma
tional and individual and by opposing
reputation in any form and the adoption
of any policy which may disturb the pres
ent gold standard through the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by this country
alone. To demonstrate as speedily as
possible, before the election, by enroll
ment of honest, patriotic citizenship of
more than party machinery or spoils--
the fact that the commercial, financial
and political structures of this country
are safe and inviolable, to the end that
business enterprise may resume and
honest labor find employment and a mar
ket for its product before the coming
winter.
Enrolment sheets have been in circula-
tion for some time and very large num-
Der of Democrats have signed the prin-
ciples of the League and become members
thereof.
The headquarters of the Democratic
Honest Money League will be located in
a day or two on the top floor of the
Davidson building. A big sign will shortly
make its appearance.
The Palisade Encampment No. 33, Fra
ternal Legion, has eighty members. They
are about equally divided as to Demo-
Gratis and Republicans; but Commissioner
of Appeals Henry Pattberg said last night
that at meeting of the Encampmeht,
held recently, the members all pledged
themselves TO vote for Mckinley and Ho-
bart, as they did not want any dishonest
money.

were issued by the health department
and every hearse in the city was in use.
