Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SULLIVAN, Ind, Aug. 23.-Once more
the Democratic party in the Second dis
trict has been compelled to buy off Charles
W. Wellman, in order that the Sullivan
Times might align itself with the partys
candidate for Congress. The Times has
passed from the hands of Wellman to Rep
resentative Robert W. Miers, who has
placed Ira H. LAIR, ex-member of the
Legislature of Indiana from Sullivan coun-
ty, in editorial charge of the paper.
The deal, which has become public, was
made during Miers's visit to Sullivan about
six weeks ago. At that time Editor Well
man had opened fire on the reorganizers,
with whom Miers was then classed, with
some of the hottest free-silver ammunition
ever used in this county or district Well
man hammered the reorganizers for all he
was worth, and Miers became aware that
the free-silver flank of the party was too
strong to be opposed.
Accordingly he visited Sullivan, and after
some difficulty succeeded in arranging a
meeting with Wellman. Miers was forced
to pay heavy increase on the price which
Wellman paid to assume control of the pa
per and the deal was closed. Nothing, how
ever, was said about it at that time, and
Wellman remained nominally the editor of
the paper
AT the same time Mr.. Miers deemed it OPP
perfume to flop from the gold plank to the
silver plank and he did so, publishing a let
ter from three Populists. two Democrats
and a silver Republican-a letter in the
shape of a certificate of character or rec
ommendation in which the six signers guar
anteed Miers TO be a bona fi1e, all-wool-
-yard-wide free-silver Democrat first,
last and all the time. The fact that he
lined up with the Republicans on important
questions in Congress worried him not at
all. Editor Wellman stated editorially that
he hau become reconciled to Mers since
the congressman had avowed himself to be
a Bryan Democrat.
The Times will now be conducted in the
interest of Mierss candidacy for Congress-

MITCHELL is CONFIDENT
CERTAIN AS EVER THE ANTHRACITE
NINE STRIKERS WILL WIN.
He Is Not in Commun lea ton with Any
on the Subject of Arbitration
Gains by Operators.

wILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug 23.-President
Mitchell arrived here from Chicago to-day.
He said he was not going to New York to
hold a conference with any of the presi-
dents of the coal-carrying railroads. SO
far as he knew the situation un-
changed. "The miners" said he, ARE just
as firm now as the first day they went on
strike. 1 am just as confident as ever, too"
continued the chief officer of the striking
army, that we are going to win"
Mr.. Mitchell denied that he was in COM
munication with Bishop Potter. but said
the miners were still open 10 arbitration,
providing it could be secured by honorable
means When asked If he had an engage
ment TO meet United States Senators Quay
and Penrose. Mr.. Mitchell replied in the
negative
The close of the fifteenth week of the
strike shows that the operators have made
some gain in the Wyoming region. The
output of coal has been larger than at
any time since the strike began. This is
due to the fact that more washeries have
been in operation the past week than at
any previous time since May r. But all
the big mines are still idle and from what
can be learned the miners show little in
clination to return to work

Because women have followed the decree
of fashion and have taken to wearing man
nish shoes" was one of the reasons ad-
vanced by Congressman Henry BuTk. in a
speech at the semi-annual banquet of the
National Association of Morocco Manufac-
turers, in the Hotel Marlborough. Atlantic
City, on Thursday night, for the generally
bad conditions that have prevailed during
the last year in the leather and kid bust
ness.
up to few years ago shoes were made
mostly as flexible as possible, said Mr..
Burk. but for some time the manufacture
ers have been making and selling these
much heavier mannish shoes for women.
These shoes cannot easily be worn out.
Consequently there are not nearly many
shoes bought. and I believe that at the
present time that is the main cause of the
ovcrprOduction of kid leather
Mr.. Bark believes, though, that the fash
ion will change soon, and that women will
begin wearing lighter shoes. and that by
this means a marked change for the bet
ter in the trade conditions will be expected.
AS an indication OF this anticipated tickle
ness of Dame Fashion. he referred to the
confidence with which eight or ten concerns
had started In business in Philadelphia
alone within-the last year.
