MR.L. N. MARTIN HERE
WILL ASSUME CHARGE OF GOLD
DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.
The Iowa Man Thinks IL Is Not Pos
sfbIe for w. j. Bryan to
BE Elected.
ADDRESS TO BE SENT OUT
1T WILL INDICATE THE POSITION
Of GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Republican Meetings Held i'm This
City-A New CIub-News
of Interest.

l.. NJ. Martin, of Des Moines, Ia. arrived
in Indianapolis yesterday morning to take
charge of the National Gold Democratic
headquarters which are TO be opened in
the Indiana Trust building. Mr.. Martin
spent most of the day getting his Office
in shape to transact business. He is one
Of the most prominent men of the Gold
Democratic party, being the Iowa member
Of the national committee. In 1896 he was
in charge Of the speakers bureau Of the
Gold Democracy in Chicago. Mr.. Martin
was formerly general manager of the Iowa
Central Railroad.
He says he is not in the least alarmed
over the result of the election. He feels
that it is impossible for Bryan to be
elected. He thinks at least so per cent. of
the Gold Democrats will support Mckinley.
as they did in 1896 Mr.. Martin is not an
anti-imperialist. In fact, he laughs at the
Democratic cry of imperialism" and de-
clares 1t is only a scheme on the part of
Bryan and his supporters to alarm the
voters and divert their attention from other
issues. Mr.. Martin says he has not heard
Of the Republican party declaring for sim
perialism' and he sees no reason for people
to get frightened. Neither is he alarmed
over the. cry Of "militarism." He reasons
that 1t will be an easy thing to reduce a
standing army when the soldiers are no
longer needed-when the country is at
peace with other nations.
MIR. Martin asserts that it is of the
greatest importance that the voters of the
country, believing in an honest dollar and
good government, do their duty by going
to the polls and voting as they believe.
Apathy" he declared, 'is the only thing
that can possibly elect Bryan"
Mr.. Martin feels that the coal miners
strike is an unfortunate thing just at this
time because it gives Bryan and the yellow
journals an opportunity of arraying one
class against another, policy which
Bryan pursued in 1896. While President
Mitchell and others are trying to settle the
trouble amicably Bryan and the yellow
newspapers are feeding fuel to the flames.
Mr.. Martin says that about the first liter
allure that will be sent out from headquar-
ters Will be the address of the National
Democracy, which is now being prepared
by special committee. This address will
show the position of the Gold Democrats
in this campaign and will be sent broadcast
over the country.

w. Spahr, James L. Laymaa and Frederick
Z. Matson. Isaac p. Tedrow, president
of the club. presided. Mr.. Spahr showed
the inconsistencies of the Bryan party on
the money question and on the question
of imperialism. He showed that the United
States is taking liberty 10 the inhabitants
of the Philippine islands instead of i'm
perialism.
Mr.. Matson dwelt principally on the at
titude of the Democratic PARTY toward
Lincoln, and asserted that the Bryanites
of to-day strongly resemble in their views
ana declarations the peace Democracy of
the days of the rebellion. Mr.. Layman dis
cussed the silver question from bust
ness mans point of view. He also talked
on the question of pensions, topic that
interested the veteran soldiers The meet
ing was largely attended and the audience
was very attentive.
