Several Democratic Meetings That Are

erous Quantities.

Mr.. Bookwalter and the other Republican
candidates used as their field Of operations
last night that portion of the city that has
heretofore given majorities for the Demo-
cratic party-the Fifteenth ward. From the
size of the crowds that attended the three
meetings the candidates were led TO believe
that the time has passed when that place
will be known as the Bloody Fifteenth
and a Democratic stronghold.
The first meeting of the evening was held
at Hoffman's Hall. or South Meridian
street. The hall was packed TO the doors.
and when Walter Royse introduced Mr..
Bookwalter the crowd applauded generous
~. Mr.. Bookwalter was hardly prepared
for such a demonstration from the voters
of the South Side. Owing TO the number OF
speeches he has made since the opening OF
the campaign Mr.. Bookwalter has become
quite hoarse and could not be heard by all
who attended last night. Nevertheless, as
one man remarked, they were there TO
shake his hand" In his speech Mr.. Book
walter again reiterated his statements re-
garding the elevation of tracks. saying he
was in favor of providing for the safety OF
the citizens of the South Side and that If
he were elected he would employ the best
engineering talent in the country to prepare

the citizens. The one most favorable to the
people would be adopted.
After the meeting at Hall the
candidates drove to Monaghans Hall, on
West Ray street, where they were received
by another large audience. 1t was at this
place that the disturbing element of the
ward began to assert itself. Underneath
the hall is a saloon. and a crowd of hood
lums began to make hideous noises that
ended to interfere with the speakers above
stairs. A general denunciation Of the DEM
ocrats and their followers was given by the
law-abiding element at the meeting when
they understood the situation. The next
place Mr.. Bookwalter spoke was at the
South Side Turner Hall, and this place, like
the others, was a surprise in the number or
people present. Walter Royse, by means OF
figures on a large "two-sheet' poster, gave
the crowd something to think or concerning
the street-car deal. AT the conclusion or
Mr.. Royse's speech he introduced Mr.. Book
walter, who delivered a speech that was en-
Enthusiastically received. During Mr.. BOOK
walters speech he was interrupted Dy a
man named Johnson, who asked him severai
absurd questions which only evoked laugh
ter from the crowd.

Oeh ~ oat

The Democratic meetings in the Eighth
ward, last night. were rather tame. Mayor
Taggart and some of the other candidates
spoke at four meetings n the injunction
was, Look after that dissatisfied Demo-

over again. with the injunction forcibly
added. AT Davidson and Michigan streets
n little shoeshop sheltered the speakers,
while the listeners and walters for the free

was forthcoming. too. at Roeder's saloon

"A meeting at State and East Michigan
streets was poorly attended. Another meet
ing was at Telkamp's blacksmith shop, on
East Michigan street. There was a fair

and gathered on the outside-still waiting.

T u OF BATTERY A.
The Men Reach Home, Tired, but Glad
They Made the Trip East.

The members of Battery A returned from
their Dewey celebration trip to New York
tired, and glad to be home again. Their
special train over the Pennsylvania road
came in shortly after noon yesterday, and
the men at once set to work to get their
guns and other paraphernalia back to the
armory at Senate avenue and Sixteenth
street. No attempt was made to parade n
many of the men did not go to the armory.
According to those who rode the horses in
tie parade, the strain was an unusual one.
as they were in the saddle continuously for
eleven hours under critical eyes, besides
those of their officers. The parade had it's
compensations. however, as the boys say
the great masses of humanity stretched
along the line of march were generous in
their applause and frequently shouted out
such encouraging expressions as: THE
Hoosiers are all right" These were occa-
sionally accompanied by bouquets and the
waving of handkerchiefs.
The battery had the distinction Of being
the only one OF the twenty or more batter
movements during the frequent stops of the
parade. These short m~aneuverS never failed
TO stir up enthusiasm all along the line. and

LOOSE BUSINESS METHODS.
Men Drawing Two Salaries for one
Service as Transfers for the City.

Service as Transfers for the City.
Another piece of evidence as to the loose
methods employed by the present business
administration Of Indianapolis was fur
nished yesterday when it became known
that George Mcdonald and George Lynch,
two teamsters employed in the Spades Park
had been drawing two salaries for one serv-
ice. From the pay rolls of the Park Board
il seems that the two men have been at
work under Park Foreman Andy HUH,
shaping up the bank of Pleasant run.
which runs through the tract. Instead or
shaping up the bank they have, 1t seems,
dug into il in such a manner as to make
1t worse thar it ever was. The energy with
which the men worked cannot be accounted
for in any other way than that there was
some stronger inducement held out than
the prospect of drawing their pay from the
Park Board. This incentive, 1t proved, was
an additional wage paid them by Contrac-
tor Ezra Mann, who has the contract Tor
grading and graveling holland avenue. near
the Spades Park. Mann, 1t Is said, gave the
men SIS a week-teamsters' wages-for haul
ing what gravel he needed for his work
from the Spades Park, and, in Milling this
contract, the foreman and his two men not
only mutilated the bank of Pleasant run,
but dug deep holes in the bed of the creek,
giving II an ~unsightly appearance.
Although Park Superintendent Power adj
mitted yesterday, while discussing the mat
ter. that he had not sold any gravel to any
contractors in that neighborhood for over
a month. ii was stated by residents of the
neighborhood that Contractor Mann had
been seen to pay Mcdonald and Lynch SIS
each for the dirt and gravel hauled out of
the park to the street he was improving.
Another resident says he heard Foreman
HUFF talking with Mcdonald about the
money to be paid by Mann and that there
was a dispute as TO who should collect il
and finally Mcdonald ended the matter by
saying, "Oh. well. I'll get the money and
we can fix that afterward."
The pay rolls of the Park Board for last
week show that the men received their reg
ular wages from the board, but Superin-
tendent Power disclaims having received
any money from the sale of the gravel taxi,
en- out of the park and the bed of the run.

TO USE VOTING MACHINES
THEY WILL BE SET UP IN SIX REPUB-
LICAN PRECINCTS.
Ordinance to This Effect Passed by
Democratic Majority Of the Coun-
ciI-List of Inspectors.

The last act of the present City Council
at its meeting last night was TO pass the
ordinance providing for the use of voting
machines in the coming city election, and,
With thinly-disguised solicitude for the
Democratic outlook the Democratic major
ity selected Republican precincts as the
places in which TO try them. The reason
for this came out when the vote was taken
on the passage of the ordinance. Mr.. Bow
ser, who is one Of the committee on cleo
tions, said that inasmuch as there was a
question as to the legality of using the ma
chimes the Democrats had insisted on all
of them being placed in precincts that were
known to be overwhelmingly Republican.
He said he had talked the matter over with
the other members of the committee and
had asked that, in view of the chance that
all the votes cast on the machine might be
thrown out, 1t was but right that they be
placed in three Republican and three DEM
ccratic precincts, and thus equalize the
risk. He said the rest of the committee,
acting under orders of the administration,
had refused to do this, but had put them
in six Republican precincts. Mr.. Scanlon,
the chairman, denied that the administra-
ton had Influenced him, and then the or
dinance was passed by a strictly party
vote. Before the question was put Mr..
Grail manifested a desire to discuss the or
dinance, but President Mahoney overlooked
and then refused to allow him to talk
when Mr.. Grail finally secured his atten-
ton. Mr.. Higgins added to the humor of
the burlesque by saying he regretted that
there were but six machines, as his con-
stituents in the Fifteenth ward wanted four
or five tried in that ward.
The list of election inspectors was re-
vised by the committee on elections, and,
in its amended shape, is as follows:
