The Palladium is in receipt of a
communication from Timothy Nichol-

Friends church, who repudiates his
signature to the letter circulated about
the city purporting to be signed by
him. An account of this letter and
it's fraudulent authorship was printed
in the Palladium of last evening.
Mr.. Nicholson says: MY attention
was called to a card or letter signed
by me and two ministers of our city,
falsely representing me as minister.

vote for James E. Watson, and charg-

Of Thomas R. Marshall. Temperance
republicans and temperance democrats
are too intelligent to be deceived or
Influenced by such clap-trap, and all
brewers and saloonists and gamblers
are already for Marshall of whose per-
sonal habits I know nothing. But he
was nominated by the last named class
and If elected 1t will be by their influ-
ence and money. I think they will
completely dominate him and however
noble may be his desires or impulses
he will be compelled to do their bid

Watson, who will be surrounded and
influence by a much better class of
citizens"

WILLIAM RANDOLPH SHOWS HOW
STANDARD OIL COMPANY HAS FINGERS ON
MEANS OF MFL UENCLNG GENERAL PUBLIC

Mr.. Sibley says Bailey would come
any way. The important part of this
letter however. is not the part that
reveals Senator Bailey, a democratic
friend of Stanrard Oil or Mr.. Sib!ey a
republican friend of the Standard Oil
1t is the part which reveals the plan
to control the great news organiza-
tons of the contry. The Associated
press and kindred avenues. To influ-
ence public opinion in that way, Mr.
Sibley thinks the public can be divid-
ed and public men, like Mr. Roosevelt

Lebanon, Ind, Oct. 31.-The court
house yard in Lebanon was the scene
OF wild prediction riot today. Re.
volvers were drawn, knives were -four
ished and there were number of ifs
tic encounters The trouble grew out
OF the allegations of the Democratic
leaders that the Republicans were vic
lating the anti-boodle agreement, and
that the Republican managers in
Boone county had invented a new
scheme for designating the ballots
cast by those who, it was alleged, they
intended to buy.
This morning the Democratic chair.
man called for a conference with the
flee. Eight or ten representatives OF
each party were present, and when
the Democrats put the Doodle ques-
ton to the Republicans, the latter
strenuously denied it.
Suspected Man Fled.
.Sefore Judge Artman, candidate for
reelection on the Republican ticket
and representatives of the two parties,
the ncrats asked that certain OF
the blicans be searched for evi.
dene he Republicans refused to
permit this, and the Democrats threat
ened to call in the police. Two of the
men under suspicion, Jack Lockhart
and Charles w. Scott, bolted the meet
ing and succeeded in getting away.
This brought on the riot. They were
followed into the courthouse yard. but
the pursuers were held up by friends
of the two men.
Within few minutes 200 men were
on the scene and the widest excite.
ment prevailed Heads were cracked
noses smashed and eyes were BACKED
but it was over an hour before the po
lice were able to dispense the crowd.
Among, those in the thickest of the
fight and who received Injuries were
r. T. Pinnell. James A. White and H.
M. Coulter, all leading politicians.

REPLIES TO ATTACK
MADE BY CAMPBELL

result of a personal grievance. Col.
Gowdy said Campbell formerly was a
member of the republican party, but
broke from the ranks on the monetery
question, being an advocate of the free
silver issue of Bryan. Campbell now
has taken up the cause of democracy.
At home his words have practically no
weight as he Is always held as a turn
coat AS to CamDbell's declarations
about the two Millers and Fred Clev-
enger, Col. Gowdy said he was sur
prised at their boldness The Millers
are the proprietors of the leading hotel
OF Rushvi1le. A bar is operated in con-
nection with the hotel, but the owners
are not regarded in the light of ''sa-
loon men," They are prominent, re.
pntable citizens, and to leave their
names off a committee of such signi-
ficance, would appear as unwarranted,
whom the nature of the occasion is
considered. The Grand hotel. which
is possessed by the Millers is the best
known hosiery In Rushville.
Col. Gowdy asserted the claim that
Fred Clevenger is professional
gambler and widely known faro deal
er was surprise to him. He declared
Clevenger's business at Rushville is
considered that of brick manufac-
turer. He has never been charged by
his fellow citizens with being the COM
mon gambler such as Campbell repre-
scented.
Attack One of Series.
The colonel maintains that the at
tack made upon Watson in this city
yesterday by Campbell was only one
Of series that has been made through
out the state. Mr. Gowdy believes
that any such stories eliminating from
the sources they do and of such part
isan nature must be discounted. "Just
say this for me-" remarked Col.
Gowdy, Mr.. Watson is supported by
the best element there is in Rushville.
and those persons talking against him
do so for purely political effect
There Is more TO the story, also.
Campbell is the law partner of Frank
Hall, democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor. This gives added
reason for his anti-Watson enmity.
William L. Newbold is the democratic
county chairman of Rush county and
also deputy prosecuting attorney The
question arises naturally, IL such law
violations exist in Rushville, as Camp
bell declared and attributed to Wat.

democratic chairman out of his duty
to the state enter prosecutions

the most open towns in the state and
