Lynn ID. MiIIikan Accepts.

Lynn B. Millikan has decided to accept
the independent nomination for councilman
from the Third ward. In a letter addressed
to L. A Mansfield chairman of the Good
Government Club in that ward, he says:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Third Ward-i am pleased TO have you
know my sentiments in regard to my can
didacy for councilman of the Third ward
/ am not a political speaker, nor am
politician, nor have 1 any political aspira-
tons whatever, but in the interest OF good
government, economically administered, L
accept the nomination for councilman as
an Independent candidate for the Third
ward, and should the people of this ward
elect ne l shall endeavor to do my full
duty to the best of my ability and will try
and see to it that the peoples business of
the ward is conducted in an honest and
business-like manner. Some may tell you
that an independent man in the City Coun-
Gil cannot accomplish much, but L do not
believe such statement to be true, for
am satisfied that much good can and will
be accomplished by a man fully determined
to do the right thing for the people he rep
resentS.
"A man who knows he is right and Will
stand by his convictions-even under fire
If necessary-is bound 10 accomplish good
and Will win out in the end, and you know
this to be the fact 1 see no reason why a
man should tie himself up with combina-
tons until he seems fully to lose his indie
pendence and his business capacity and
thus stultify himself and his constituents.
A councilman should represent the people
of his ward and not some political clique
that is trying TO uphold some nefarious
scheme whereby the people he represents
will always get the worst of it. He is not
in the Coupncil to represent any party, as
a party, to stoop to the mean and low
schemes at the behest of any political boss,
but he is there TO attend to the business
of his people of the ward he represents,
use honesty. economy and all the business
skill he NAV have, just the same he
would in his own private business. He
should be no mans man and. wear no
mans collar. 1 believe in right, and that
il wrongs no one. Yours very respectfully,
LYNN b. MIL KAN."

MANUFACTURERS MEET.


Manufacturers OF cross arms, pins and
brackets are gathering at the Denison House
from all sections of the country for the
purpose of forming an association. Sessions
will be held to-day and tomorrow. and the
attendance is expected to reach seventy
five-practically full representation of
the industry.
The manufacturers in this line have never
been organized, but within the last year
the growth of the industry has been such
that the agitation for association was
started. The officers of the Indianapolis
Arm, Bracket and Pin Company, which has
its factories i'm Madison, Ind. took the
initiative and sent out the call for the
meeting which opens to-day. j. b. Ma
gers. of Madison, is the president and Rob-
ert Ia McOuat, of this city, is secretary of
the company
Mr.. Mayors said last evening that the
principal object of the movement toward
the formation of ali association was the adj
justment of prices. The manufacturers are
not bothered with any labor questions at
present, he said.

Machine Democrats were asking them
selves and each other yesterday If a serious
mistake had not been made in rushing into
print with Tom Taggart's letters indorsing

mated at Saturdays convention. The letters
were given out on the spur of the moment.
without serious reflection, because the ma
chine men were anxious to make any sort
of a showing that the Democrats who had
not been for Hoffman in the primary
struggle would be all right now that the
ticket has been named. They thought il
important to have Taggart's hearty and un-
qualified Endorsement made public as
possible.
Now IL seems that the epistles of Taggart
to the Philfstines will prove a roorback of
the worst kind. They set the seal OF Tag
CARTS approval upon Hoffman and that
