Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON, Ind, Nov. 3.-Charles B.

Two hundred and fifty of them, all over
fifty years of age, met on the square and,

THE "GANG" FOOLED.
Taggart and Martin Went to Ander-
son to Raise Funds.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. S.-Democrats
from far and near in Madion county gath
cred in Anderson yesterday on invitation
to meet Thomas Taggart and Parks Mar
tin, of Indianapolis. Many supposed the
money for Madison county sent up by the
State Democratic committee was to be di-
vided, and others thought that Taggart and
Martin would plan the certain defeat of the
Republicans. There was no money divided.
Instead of money or of a well-formulated
plan of victory, Taggart and Martin were
here to solicit funds for the state commit
tee. Madison county Democracy stood
amazed and the enissaries from Indian
apolis encountered a regular Klondike. The
candidates refused to be bled, and the
moneyed men of the Democracy were equal
ly impervious to all appeals for help. Re-
publicans learned of the true condition by
Disguised Democrats who were at the. cons
ference. There are no bets being posted by
the Democrats unless great odds are given
by Republicans. Predictions are made at
Republican headquarters that the enllre
State and county tickets will be carried by
900 majority, while al the betting boards
an average of 500 is claimed.

The Mistakes Of Murat.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1t is claimed in the advertisements of
Mr. Murat Halstead's new book. Our
Country in War" that 1t is "brimfu OF
original pictures" Among the illustrations
printed in the volume are two which are
in every sense "original'-one is entitled
United States Regular Cavalry Charge in
Cuba" and the other, UNITED States Regu-
lars on the March to Havana" The pquant
originality of these dashipg military scenes
lies In the stubborn reality that the United
States army didn't make any mounted cav
airy charge IN Cuba, and the march on Ha-
vana materialized only in the columns of

that Miers will have WalkoVer. The

Miers was nominated in 1896 and he was

PORTLAND, Ind. Nov. S.-DesDite the
many stories circulated, it is believed that
Jay county will do her full duty at the polls
next Tuesday and will put forth strong
effort to give George w. Cromer, Repub-
lcan candidate for Congress. a good lift.
The tale that he will lose two hundred in
cratic dream. and its naturalization would
be a marvel The Democrats and Populists
have a strong fusion, which makes the con-
dition of the county ticket considerably in
doubt, and the result necessarily will be
close. This at least is the feeling among
the more conservative on both sides.

LEBANON, Ind, Nov. 3.-The county
election board in printing the county
tickets found an error in the case of Noah
Clodfelter, of Charlottesville the Demo-
cratic nominee for joint senator. 1t was
discovered that the chairman of the nomi-
mating convention had failed to sign the
certificate of nomination. The chairman
appeared before the board and claimed that
he had sent two copies of the certificate to
the county chairman, but had failed to sign
one of them, the unsigned certificate by
mistake having been filed with the election
board. The board concluded that the error
was sufficient to justify them in leaving his
name off the ticket. Mr.. S. r. Artman of
this city, who is Mr. Clodfelters opponent,
however, went before the board and asked
them to waive all Irregularities ard place
Mr.. Clodfelter's name on the ticket. The
board did as Mr.. Artman requested and
Mr. Clodfelter's name goes on the ticket.
