OvERsTREET VERSUS BAILEY

The Sentinel attempts to make point in
favor of Leon o. Bailey by insnuating that
Mr.. Overstreet has failed to do lis duty in
regard to securing new government build
ing for this city. 1t says
Government offices are scattered all over
town, and so far as can be learned no effort
has been made by the present Republican
memDer or congress TO secure rellef.
Mr. Bailey will not be Indifferent about this
important matter, as Mr.. Overstreet has
been, and with his wel-known industry and
persistence it is safe to say that he will get
an appropriation through the next House
If Ii is Democratic.
Every well-informed citizen of Indianapo-
lis knows that this insinuation against Mr..
Overstreet is absolutely without foundation
So far from having made no effort to secure
a new public building for this city, the rec
ord shows that he was very active in the
matter, and, up to certain point, success
full. Early in the last session of Congress
he succeeded in getting the House commit
tee on appropriations to report in favor of
a new government building in this city, and
1t was included in the appropriation bill.
At that time, however. the national finances
were not in condition to Justify the erec-
ticn of new government buildings, and as a
adopted by Congress no new government
buildings were authorized. 1t was under
stood at the time that the needs of this
city, which had been strongly presented by
Mr.. Overstreet, were clearly recognized, and
that il any new buildings had been author
lied this city would have been included.
Mr.. Overstreet's action in the matter was
fai1a of
success owing to the retrenchment policy
adopted by Congress.
In this connection it may be recalled that
in January last Mr. Overstreet was instru-
mental in securing an addition of fifteen
letter carriers TO the force in this city,
raising the number from seventy-one to
eighty-six, besides several additional clerks,
thus adding materially to the strength OF
the local service. About the same time.
through his influence with the Department
of Agriculture. Mr. Overstreet was instru-
mental in having eight additional micros-
copists appointed for duty in this city, I'M
der the direction of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry. at salary of $500 a year each.
The suggestion of the Bryan organ that
Leon o. Bailey would be able to secure an
appropriation for new government build
ing where others have failed will cause
amusement among those who know the gen.
tleman. There is no legislative body in the
world where men are sized up quicker
and find their level more inevitably than in
the American Congress. After Mr.. Bailey
had gone through this process the district
would hear no more of him. except when the

AN ASTONISHING REVELATION.

The revelations made on another page
from the records of the county auditors Of
flee are not so remarkable for the amount
of money which Mayor Taggart, as auditor.
drew from the treasury the last eleven
months of his term as for the glaring irreg
uIarities. and omissions which searching
of the books discloses. During the last
eleven months and seven days that Thomas
Taggart was county auditor and E. Nj.
Johnson was deputy county auditor $780,,
1894 was drawn from the county treasury
by Mr. Taggart. That is large amount
of money. 1t represents the pinching
of large number of taxpayers during 1884,
50, the period of the greatest depression.
But the amount, large as it is, is by no
means the most damaging feature of the
revelation. The amazing part of the reve-
laton is that for about 81, 600 of this large
amount there is not the scratch of pen to
show by whose order the money was paid
and what was the nature of the services rem
dered therefor. In the auditors office there
should be voucher showing by whose or
der every dollar of money is paid and speci-
flying the service or goods for which it was
paid. There are vouchers for every other
amount of money drawn warrants in
favor of Mr.. Taggart except the amounts
aggregating about 81 600.
The discovery that no vouchers are on
file for that large amount of money was
purely accidental Incited apparently by
Mr. Johnson, the Taggart candidate for
county auditor, the two Taggart organs
published some figures relative to money
paid to Auditor II. B. Smith for services
which do not come under the duties re-
quired of that officer. Simply for the pur-
pose of comparing the amounts paid to the
present auditor with those paid Mr.. Tag
gart a Journal reporter asked to see the
vouchers Tor services rendered" Deputy
Auditor Shepard was as much surprised as
was the person asking to see the papers
when he found that they were not on file.
Thinking that the vouchers for the $1,000
might not have been inserted in the order
they should have been, Mr.. Shepard made
an extended search, but in vain.
1t will be said that making these revela-
TORS at this time can serve no useful pur-
pose as Mr. Taggart is not now candi-
was deputy auditor when these large sums
of money were drawn from the treasury, is
the Taggart candidate for county auditor
at the present time. He asks the voters of
Marion county to intrust him with an Of
flee for which his own records, or rather
want of records, prove his unfitness. The
most extravagant and corrupt era in Ma
rion county affairs was that during which
Thomas Taggart was county auditor. Dur
ing that period E. M. Johnson was his more
than first lieutenant; he was his councillor
and associate, and, withal, his man Friday.
The election of Mr.. Johnson would mean the
restoration of Taggartism to the control of
county affairs. 1t means the acquiescence
of the voters of this city in the scandalous
transaction in park lands, by which the city
has paid at least 500, COO more than the lands
are worth

The Pittsburg Dispatch, which assailed
about the War Department for extorting
from Surgeon Seaman, of the First En-
gineer Volunteers, the admission that he
made no effort to obtain special supplies
for the convalescents in the transport OBJ
dam because he heard that he could not
get them, will have a difficult task to de-
fend the slandering and lying surgeon now
that his receipt for all the supplies he asked
for has turned up. This Major and Surgeon
Seaman, as it appears from his own re-
ceipt, received, before the ship sailed, the
following special supplies for the GONZALES
cents in his charge:
Thirteen cases of canned soup, twelve bot
ties of whisky four barrels of ginger ale,
one box of corn starch, one barrel of jel-
boxes of clam BROTH two boxes OF
sailed crackers two boxes of lemons,
two boxes of calf's-foot jelly. two boxes
one quart of Squibbs mixture two bottles
of bismuth subgallate.

make in behalf of Dr. Seaman will be

The Marion Chronicle says that about
three hundred persons went from that city
to hear Hon. w. ID. Bynum speak last Fri
day night at the town Of Van Buren,, and
that there were fully 1900 people at the
meeting. Mr.. Bynum devotes himself main
ly to the money question, with which he is
familiar, and is making very effective Re-
publican speeches on that lire. An incident
of the meeting at Van Buren, was speech
by Mr.. II. NJ. Elliott a well-known and
prominent Democrat of Marion. The Chron-
icle says:
Mr.. E,lliott's speech was a surprise to
many Republicans and all the Democrats
present. He came out flatfoOted for Mai
George w. Steele, sound money and the
present administration. For some time Mr.
Elliott has been contemplating the step he
took. A few Democrats who knew his posi-
ton and the better element of the party
in the city attempted to keep him in the
party this year by getting him to come out
in the race for circuit judge. He abso-
lutely refused 10 permit his name to be
mentioned and was in Michigan at the time
the Grant county Democrats held their
county convention. Notwithstanding his
veto d local Democrat placed his name be-
fore the convention. The occasion last
evening was too much for him, and being
under conviction, he agreed to make a
speech when it was mentioned to him dur
ing the meeting.
Mr.. Ellotts remarks were brief but
pointed, the drift of them being that while
he had hitherto been a Democrat, he was
an American before he was a partisan, and
he could not act longer with a party oc-
cupying the position that the Democratic
party now does. After referring briefly to
the vigorous and successful prosecution of
the war he said:
Looking back over what has been ac-
complished l am proud to acknowledge the
wonderful ability and foresight of the man
who has thus far stood at the helm and
guided his ship of state safely over the
stormy sea of strife and conflict. / have no
fault to find with William Mckinley.
have no fault to find with the present Con-
gress / am not in favor of stopping now
to swap horses. | am satisfied to let this
same lot of fellows go on and finish up the
job. And to help the matter along am go
ing to vote to return Hon. George w. Steele
TO Congress. Most of you know how have
stood politically. but l want to tell you
that if to be true American man should
he Republican. if to be loyal TO the flag
i'm times like these man must be a Repub-
lican. if to be in sympathy with the present
administrati ton a man is forced to be a Re-
publican. then from this time forward l am
a Republican.
