And what was worse, the appropri ation of 111 .875 for the election had been made on. the 'basis of lvd precincts, and the Council redistiicted in 1901 and added 42 precincts without making any provision for the added expense. To keep within the appropriation I was obliged to allow the boards for one day's service only, and on that basis I had before me for pay of election boards, J1.3SS.50 tor rent oi rooms, ana.

DUNN. More Republican Remarks, To the Edltar of Tba News: SlrI noticed with interest the com munication signed Ward Republican. la The News a few evenings ago. and It' is with equal Interest that I sea In the morning paper's Issue to day Its editorial cognizance of 'Ninth Ward Re publican's" letter. Tha two, taken to gether, give me more than ordinary pleas ure; the Because or the whole some, if unpalatable, truths it contained.

and the morning paper's editorial because of the brave stand the paper takes. "Ninth Ward Republican', put his finger directly on a spot that haa been causing numberless thinking Republicans of Tn dlanapollf considerable. Uneasiness. haa been aimcuit. inaeea, tor mis ciass ot the party's membership to reconcile the efforts of tha morning paper to as the mouthpiece of the party with the paper's policy of condemnation, ridicule and 'low flungr Innuendo in reference to party leaders like Vloe Prealdent.

Governor llarfly and others. The paper's declaration that It la a "newspaper, not an organ" has disappeared from the city trash boxes, Whlcii for long it decorated In an aesthetic. and bacominsiV appronriato shade ot yellow. Furthermore, the JUie luai ll inn I ah head of the morning gper'a editorial column, "An Independent Newspaper." has also disappeared, and, under these circumstances, what was more natural than that Republicans who have the interests of the party and of tha city at heart should shuddetipgly apprehend that tha morning paper had, by absorbing our real spokesman, tha Journal, constituted Itself tha "organ" of Indianapolis Repub 11 cans. I am mora than glad to know from tha.

morning paper Uself that the decent element of the party need no longer alarm itself with this calamitous mls apprehenaton. and that tha morning paper has no Intention of claiming "organic' functions so far as Ilanly, Fairbanks and men of their class are concerned. It only claims to represent men like the Bute's embeaxlmg ex Auditor, Air. Bbar rick. the city's repudiated ex mayor and perennial candidate, Mr.

Bookwalter repudiated because of the known and proved rottenness, incompetency and corruptness of Ids administration and the thieving Indianapolis Gas Company. And In fancy I can hear tha sigh of relief that comes from hundreds of clean Republicans in Indianapolis when they read the morning paper's editorial declaration' oa this point. "We shall crtUetsa Governor Hanly, Vice President Fairbanks and other deoent Republicana as freely and severely as we please; this shows that we are. not an organ; and we shall stand up for Indianapolis Oas Company thievery, embexxler Sherries, candidate once rep diated for cause Bookwalter and the purchasable negro contingent till the cows come home for the same reason." This, I gather, is the gist of this morning's editorial. Well, de gusttbus non disputan likewise "birds of a feather flock Another editorial tn this morning Issue' Ac In thou phrases ilk "dric ristsotis nca and "'civic virtue" which aava been so sadly overworked In this campaign as a cover to tb pturui raltura ot this pretended reform administration.

Mara perforroeaoe and less palaver would mcoim Holtsmaa mors ana iwnil to be the Hookwalter program. To one who has a recollection of conditions during ilr. Bookwalter's (mal)ad mlnistratlnn the vnlanatinn rf tM nmla. sion Is much simpler, as well as more toTCentury Limited this afternoon the point. His entire lack of.

familiarity with the quantities mentioned. as evidenced' during his term of office, and his well known modesty, probably combined to prevent his even claiming a speaking acquaintance with them. ANOTHER NINTH WARD' REPUBLICAN. October (, 1805. i' I' Political Notes.

Is ap WHAT MR BOOKWAl TER PROMISED In September, 1901, William Fortune, "chairman of the elevated track committee of the Commercial Club, asked candidates for mayor, a series ot questions on the subject of track elevation. Under date of September 23, Mr.

Bookwalter replied as 7n reply.to your Jetter of the 13tb last, submitting to me three questions relative.to track elevation. I would say that I stand npon my letter of acceptance, submitted to the people of Indianapolis through the chairman of the Republican city committee, in which I pledged myself to push to a speedy conclusion the litigation how pending involving the Talldity of 'the elevated track ordinance which Mr. Taggart had passed immediately prior to the election ot 1899. If this ordinance is held to be Invalid, you can appreciate that nothing can be done by the city la the way ot track election without further powers being granted under the charter by the Legislature of the State. "In answer to your second question, would say that! eh ill do everything within my power aa mayor for the protection, of the public from the.

dangers and Inconveniences of grade croasinga. "In answer to. your third question, say that 1 have already pledged myself to such further legislation, and shall abide by that pledge." WHAT MR BOOKWALTER DID was in the Legislature when the prime need of the city was, as it is now, elevated tracks. A bill had passed the House, not just what it should have been, and the Senate strengthened it by making It what it should be, by giving the city authority to deal with the question, the bill came back to the House for concurrence In thev8enate amendments. It is a disgrace for a Republican to acknowledge It, but the truth is that every city employe from mayor to sewer inspector, wis down there lobbying against the The lobbying waa iniquitous and dastardly.

O. Grsnniss, In speaking the failure of tha diocesan convention of the church In New Torino adopt a profrered resolution on the subject of business Integrity. said' f. "I lean not let this opportunity go by, mv brethren, without a word of warning and appeal. I would beg yo! not to despair of the church.

Tou have no doubt been alarmed and depressed, as I have been, reading In the papers the List week of a deplorable fHlbira on the part of the great diocese of New York. "Unjlhe mmlng of September the blBhop coadjutor. Or. Greer, speaking to the convention, asked his bearers wUeth keeping pjire with lta Intelligence, and. if they, as churchmen, were showing that the church had faith In Itself.

He rpoke tit rmwlnff trr Ia ar n.t order, tha increasing tendencies corruption, graft and fraud, not only among tlie fillternte. but among the educated classes. While dlsclalmirg tha attitude of an alarmist or pessimist he pointed to tha evil and. urged a stronger effort and better work for righteousness, especially In the 8unday of the Church. "Toward the clos the convention, later In the same day.

a clergyman offered a series of resolutions in entire harmony with the thought and "purpose, of tha bishop coadjutor. Let me read them to you: 'Resolved. That this convention can not afford to pass unnoticed the revelations being made In the daily newspapers ot the tampering with trust funds by men In high positions; that no talent or usefulness to tha community, no bene faction to tbo church, or to objects of philanthropy can excuse or atone for dereliction in trust contempt for the rights of others, or disregard of the rules of common that this convention commends to the members of this church and their associates the exercise ot that exact and scrupulous fidelity tn business Which is the foundation of prosperity and a requirement for the favor and benediction of Almighty God." Interposition by Bishop Potter. dear, friends, a very proper set resolutions, for a convention of the church to adopt Nothing certainly In these resolutions that doea not meet with the approval of every soul In this congregation. But the bishop presiding in that convention.

Bishop Potter. 'Now. my brother, let be. paternal. These things you condemn are still In transitu.

They are still being tried. Wait Is there a second to the gentleman's rasolutlonT Not one In that convention of the great diocese of New York dared meet the bishop's eye and second tha resolution. Yet let us not despair. Let us stilt believe in the church as Christ's means for the betterment of the world. For nineteen hundred years the church, has gona on her beneficent way, bringing comfort to the sorrowful, the blessings of help and bops to the struggling and despondent; she has uplifted and restored the fallen, she has preserved the truth, and extended love and virtue and civilisation and the certainty: of eternal life, although one of tbo twelve apostles was a Judas who bare the bag and sold his Lord for thirty pieces of silver and although In a terrible hour all the disciples forsook Him and fled."
