THOSE So BILLS.
Stories of Corruption i'm the Demo-
cratic Convention.

There are still echoes of the corrupt tao
tics of the ring in the convention Thursday
and in the primaries the night before. 1t
is said that two hundred 81 bills were
brought into the convention by one of the
candidates who was afterward nominated.
The boss ringster was seen showing his
hands down in his pocket and giving money
to one delegate who wanted to make
touch" At the meeting of the credentials
committee the night before it is claimed
that Albert F. Earring, Taggart's private
secretary, went to the telephone and gave
his employer the result after. each contest
was decided. John w. Kern and Charles e.
Barrett were there taking notes." Charles
Garrard, sprinkling inspector, passed in
and out Of the committee meeting at will,
carrying slips of paper designating which
of incoming contestants were fright" AS
the correct delegates filed out after stating
their grievances, Charles Z. Barrett would
remark that man strikes me as perfectly
truthful" 1t is regarded by the push" as
rather remarkable that the credentials COM
mittee permitted so many outsiders to at
tend its hearings.
On all hands the push" is attributing its
defeat to the fact that John j. Rockford
became too i'll to be at his Office the after
noon before the primaries and the conven-
ton the next Gay. The organization was
without a general Friends of the push
who had made important discoveries the
afternoon before the primaries had no one
to consult with them as to what course
they should pursue. Threats were made
against saloon men who were wrong
that they would be ruined if they did not
get into line city official, who was
defeated in his precinct, is credited with
saying that he would make Taggart
break UP his opponents business''-he was
a saloon man. AS whole the push" is
very very sore There are threats of a sep
arate silver organization, but they are not
likely to come to anything unless state
organization is formed outside of Marion
county but that is not considered probable.
Meanwhile the gold Democrats are elated

one of their number making speech.

days before he appointed his secretary and

titled: Joseph e. Bells interview in SEN

Cold" Following is the interview:
Joseph z. Bell said: One of the reasons
most frequently given by the ADVOCATES or

poor man can compel his grocer to accept
this deprecated money in payment of the
bill for the month already past, but he cam

whose farm is mortgaged. He can pay it

siastic silver advocate be realized who said

means we will have $16 for every 81 we have
now When the farmer is required to re-
new his mortgage is when he will realize
what free silver or cheap money has done
for him. The creditor will require the new
mortgage to be made payable in gold coin,
and with gold at a premium, as 1t will be
with free coinage of silver in this country,
it will require about 81 of silver money to
pay 81 Of this mortgage. Under free coin
age of silver every individual or corporation
loaning money would require it to be repaid
in gold coin. This could only be done by
paying the premium which gold would
command. An examination of the mort
gage records in the recorders Office of this
county shows that this silver agitation has
caused many of the individuals and institu-
lions loaning money here to require pay
ment in gold coin. FletcherS Bank of this
city has for nearly two years past made
all it's notes payable in gold coin. If all of
these notes and mortgages have to be paid
with gold at a premium they will render
the burdens Of the debtor unbearable.'
