HOLTZMAN KNITTED sILvERITEs.
He Helped Defeat Regular Democratic
Ticket i'm 1898.

The revelation, made by the Republican
city publicity bureau, that John w. Holtz-
man. Democratic candidate for mayor, was
identified with the Gold Democrats in 1885
and was appointed chairman of commit
tee to work for the defeat of the regular
Democratic candidates that year, is causing
the managers of the Democratic city cam
paign no end of trouble. Hoffman has not
attempted to prove that he was not party
to the movement to defeat Democratic
candidates at that time and scores of good
Democrats are refusing to support him
now for that reason.
The facts in the case as presented by the
committee, are that on the evening of Oct.
30, 1898. meeting was held in the gold
room of the Bates House. at which the
following committee was appointed to pre-
vent the spread of the free silver sentiment
and to defeat the regular Democratic candi-
dates: Chairman. John w. Hoffman; COM
mittee, S. o. Pickens, Pierre Gray, Henry
Russo, James NJ. Cunning, A. kiefer,
Charles Peil, John r. Wilson, III. w. Law
O'Conner, Albert Lieber, James L. Reach,
Fred r. Mack, j. p. Frenzel and Sam Rauh.
THE FAMOUS LETTER.
At this meeting a letter was dictated,
which was sent out by James l.. Reach
under the date of Nov. 2, as follows: ITO
the national Democrats of Marion county
The executive committee for Marion coun-
ty hereby affirms its allegiance to the In
dianapolis platform i'm all its details. and
indorses the address issued by the national
committee of the party. The committee be-
lieves in opposing any candidate who stands
pledged to support the Chicago platform.
and especially does it urge the defeat of
Mr.. Leon o. Bailey and of the Democratic
legislative nominees"
The legislative ticket which Hoffman,
Reach, Wilson, Holt and the others helped
| to defeat included the following:
Representatives from Marion-Albert
Sahm, Judge Ayres, former councilman
! Wolcott Deputy City Clerk August Tamm.
| w. w. Robbins. president Camp Gray,
| G.. A. r., Charles Clark, of Irvington, and
| Timothy p. Harrington labor leader.
Joint Senator-Eb. Henderson, of Martins
vile.
| Joint OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Jackson. OF
| Greenfield.
1t has been difficult matter for old-line
| Democrats TO accept the domination of
Reach, Wilson and Holt who are now in
| control of the party organization, but when
! they learn that Hoffman, the Reach can
| didate for mayor, was also identified with
| the boilers in 1898 they refuse to take that
| additional dose of bitter medicine.

MIR. HoIt.man md Mr.. Conin.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Permit me 30 call your attention to the
fact that your statement in your issue OF
Sept. q, page 8. column 2 that, in answer
ing the charges of the Bookwalter cam
paign committee, i made selection Of two
cases calculated to throw discredit on a
member of the committee" is distinctly
libeious of both Mr.. Coffin and myself.
My statement as given by you was in
these words:
1.-TWO cases, which were dismissed after
indictments had been returned were against
a member of this committee which investi-
gated my record. Charles +. Coffin was
accused of renting houses for immoral DUR
poses. / was convinced that no conviction
could be obtained because 1 believed il
could not be made clear that Mr. Coffin
had rented these houses with full knowl-
edge of the purposes to which they were &c
be put
This could not possibly throw discredit on
Mr.. Coffin unless the cases were improper
ly dismissed, and IL improperly dismissed
there would be discredit thrown on me as
well as Mr.. Coffin. i have stated, and I
now state that / never dismissed any case
without what appeared to me TO be good
and sufficient reason. | cited these two
cases because the reason for dismissal was
not only within my knowledge, but also
within the knowledge of member of the
not they were properly dismissed
The committee charges that the long list
of cases which IL mentions were improp-
erly dismissed or else its charge amounts
to nothing, for nobody can complain of
the dismissal of a case il il is one that
ought TO be dismissed. Ii includes these two
cases in the list 1t is manifestly unreason-
able TO ask me TO go into the details of
each and every case. ten years after they
have been disposed of, but I make this
proposition: | have given the explanation
of two of the dismissals that they COM
plain of, and they know whether or not
that explanation is true. Ii Mr. Coffin or
his associates viii. say that the explanation
given Is not true or that those two cases
ought not to have been dismissed, or that
any improper influence was used 10 Sc
propriety of any kind connected with the
dismissal, ! will let them select any other
two cases that they desire and will give
the explanation of their dismissal so far
as i can at this late date | think this
is fair proposition 10th TO them
and myself. L am quite willing to
discuss any case TO which they refer If
cannot fairly be asked to go into detailed
statements as TO every case they choose
TO point out from over 5000 that | dis
posed of in four years. when it is apu.r-
ent on the face of their charge that there
Is no cause for criticism as TO part of the
cases they specify. and that they have per
sonal knowledge that there is no cause for
criticism.
1t Is not my desire to throw discredit on
anybody unjustly, and L must protest
against being wrongfully put in the atti-

The Republican Committee Forced tn
Adopt This Measure.

The Republican city committee will to-
day inaugurate its scheme of getting its
posters and bills before the public by means
of billboards placed on wagons, which will
be kept moving over the city. Three
wagons will be used at first and they will
cover practically the entire city.
The committee attempted to get this
matter on the billboards of the city and
had succeeded in getting the company that
controls the billboards to post a number
of cartoons and bills, but the company re-
fused to handle any more OF the matter and
the committee was forced to resort to the
wagon scheme. 1t Is believed that the new
plan will prove much more effective and
that the posters will be seen and read by
a larger number of people than IL they had
been put out on stationary billboards.
