( Special. ) The fol lowing letler has been received by a promt nent republlcar here from an old-time frlem In Indiana , peculiarly familiar with con dltlons In the Hooslcr state , explaining th Indiana situation- "FORT WAYNE , Sept. 7 , 1S30. Yours o the 20th of. August asking for my oplnloi of tiie political" outlook In Indiana cam duly to hand. The republican plurality h Indiana In the coming election will be 40 , 000 rather more than less than that nuin her. This Is my opinion. Now for my rea sons : Four years ago Cleveland's plurallt In this state was 7,000 in a tola ! vote o 553,013. Al Ihls elecllon bul three repub llcan congressmen were elected , but li the landslide of Iwo years ago every dls Irlcl In Ihe stale was carried by us. Ar the times any better than they were tw years ago ? Worse , If anything. Then , wh ; should the people want to experiment will free silver when Iwo years of free trade dem onslraled Ihe facl lhat protection Is wha this country wants and must have In orde to bo prosperous. Can a majorlly of llu people In Ihe United States be fooled twice In four years ? I think not. I figure It ou thai Ihere will be large republican gains li every clly In this state and that the rura vote will be practically as it was two years ago. The free silver lunacy Is unquestlon ably losing ground every day arm the mori the people study thol matlcr the greatei will McKlnley's majority be. "There Is a very largo German Lutherar vote In Indiana , which Is an Important fac tor In all of our elections. Judging froir Iho number and character of those whc usually vote the democratic ticket In this city , but who have publicly declared theli opposition to Bryan , the German vote wll be largely republican this year , whereas 1 Is usually strongly democratic. Both of the German dallies published here are demo cratic and both are opposing Bryan. NAMES SOME OF THE MEN. "J. F. W. Meyer , a life-long democrat and perhaps the most Influential member o ; the Lutheran church In this city , Is dolns all ho can to defeat the nominee of the Chicago convention. Mr. Meyer has llvci hero for more than forty years and has a wide acquaintance among Germans all over Iho country. He has prospered In business and Is , therefore , competent to instruct his countrymen upon the money qucsllon. J. I ) . Sarnlghausen , Ihe editor of the Staats- Xellung , has always been a democrat and his paper has a largo circulation among members of that faith. He Is opposing Bryan with all his might. "Three of our bank presidents are demo crats , but all will vote against the "boy orator. " 3. II. Bass , the president of the First National , Is perhaps the largest manu facturer of car wheels In the United Stales , having Immense establishments here ami In Chicago and St. Louis as well. Ho also owns and operates an Iron mine in Alabama and gives employment to several hundred men in each of his plants , S , B. Bond , president of the Old National bank , a life long democrat , has no use for Bryan. The Bond family In Forl Wayne Is a 'large ono and they all vote either for McKlnley or Palmer. Charles McCulloch , president of the Hamilton bank. Is a son of Lincoln's secretary of the treasury , Hugh McCulloch , and has been an active democrat since 1S7" but ho has given It out strong that ho can not swallow the dose prescribed at Chicago. John Mohr , cashier of the Hamilton bank , and at present a democratic member of the city council llkewl&c refuses to support the lopullstic combination. "None of the men I have named are poli ticians , none have ever sought ofllco and none havn ever held political positions , save that of councilman or something equally unimportant ; but they are all In the front rank In business , ami they huvo all helped to mould democratic opinion In this county for many years. I could go on and enu- nerato dozens of others who have gone ) ack on Bryan , some of whom are practical politicians. J. M. Barrett is of the latter class. Ho has been a state senator and ms more than once been a candidate for congress from this district. P. A. Randall s another. The latlor gentleman Is ono at the most popular democrats In this sec tion of the slate , and his following In this clly and , county Is unquestionably larger ban thi't of any other politician within heso boundaries , lie has Just returned rom Indianapolis , where ho was In attend ance upon the national democratic conven- lon. In n brief talk I had with him yes- erday no said the national democratic Icke' would poll forty to llfty thousand votes In this state , and thai 40 per cent at the democratic voters of this county was or honest money. Mr Randall concedes ndlana to McKlnley by 25.000 , and sayfi t may bo double that If the gold demo- -rata support him generally. Instead of 'otlng for their own candidates. It Is my mpression that the great majority of them n this state will do that very thing. FREE SILVER REPUBLICANS. "Now as to the free silver republicans hereabouts. About three weeks ago n call vas Issued for the purpose of organizing i free silver republican club , Just eight- en men responded to the call ami were nirolled as members , and It was heralded ibroad that the club waa organized with R nembershlp of 150. One of the most active nomliera of this club removed to this city rom an adjoining comity seat town two ar three years ago , and it was not known' now he had been voting. Last week , how- iver , a paper published In Warsaw , his ormor home , learned of his pretending lee > e a republican , and published the facts n the case , from .Uilch It uupfara he has never been anything but a dyed-lii-the-nool lemocrat. He has slnco admitted that such Is the case by publishing a card In ono at our dally papers. And It Is altogether Ikoly other members of the club are Bali ng under false colors also , as some ot hem have never made their republicanism nanlfest. Not a single ono of this club s prominent , either In politics or business , ind , admitting they are all what they claim o be ( republicans ) , they cut a very sorry- gure when compared lo the number of Binocrati who will uot support Bryan , be ratio may not be sixteen to ono , but tt will Lo r.t least four to ono in ever precinct in the county. I am pcrsonall acquainted with ono of Ihese free sllve republicans , and titlk with him on th money question occasionally when wo mee He is a good citizen , but , ns ho was denle the advantages of even a free school bill callon in his youth , his efforts to rea aloud to mo are really painful. Like th average free sllverlte , his blblo Is "Coin * Financial School , " and It Is by readln portions of It that ho has sought to ci lighten mo on the money problem. It wa plain to be seen that he was captivated b Its arguments. Ono day I opened up little school of my own , and asked him few questions concerning "Coin" and hi book. When school closed thai partlcula day his Idol wns somewhat shattered , fo ho tossed It onto the floor , where It wa lying \\hen 1 left. Ho honestly believe Mr. Harvey had really been conducting financial school in Chicago , and that Lj man J. Gage had been ono of his pupils. "Neither party has completed Its sixty day poll In this state , and hence wo hav nolhlng of Ihls kind to guide us In cstl mating the strength of the parties. Som prcclncis In different parts of the stat have been returned unofficially , bowcvci and these ahow decided republican gain over the vole of two years ago. On "straw1Is the following : The Indian Farmers' Insurance company , with head quarters at Indianapolis , has about 50,00 policy holders ; 26,000 are republicans , 17,00 democrats , and the remainder populists an prohibitionists. Of the 17,000 dcmocratl policy holders , 11,000 will vote the repub ilcan ticket. " IfOW TlllflV FKKli .VOW I.V H.MXOIb Sound -Money Sriitlitifiit Alumni Unnn ImoliH In Many l.ociilKH-H. HASTINGS , Sept. 10. ( Special. ! In an swer to a letlcr written by Mr. Heller to t democratic friend of his In Illinois as t how Ihe political .situation was there th following answer was received : "ROCKFORD , 111. , Sept. 5. Mr. J. F Heller , Hasllngs , Neb. : Dear Sir Replying to your letter of the 3d would say that tlu population of Rockford Is variously csti maled al from 25,000 to 30.000. Our las census was taken in 1890 , and showed some thing over 23.000. We have every reason tc believe that this city has more people In I today by several thousand than H had Ic 1S90. 1S90.Wo hear practically no free sliver talk and believe over 80 per cent of the voters o Rockford and Wlnnebabo county are foi William McKlnley and sound money , and Ihose who are In favor of free silver and dc the most talking aboul It are almost en tlrely people without property or Interests that would bo affected should the sllvei movement be successful. For this reasoi they have nothing to lose In trying an ex periment. "On the other hand wo do not know ofto exceed a dozen men who own property whc are lu favor of free coinage of silver. The effect of our manufacturing Interests here Is that very few factories feel that It Is prudent to start up until after iho election is decided , as there Is an almost unanimous feeling that should we get free silver It wll destroy what little confidence there Is today in Iho business stability ot our country , aiu the management of the factories will wait to sco the effect before they venture to man ufacturing many goods. This general stop ping of manufacturing Institutions caused b } extreme uncertainty necessarily throws a great many workmen out of employment , which , us you know , means culling off Ihelr means of supplying Iheir families with the necessities of life. "While on the other hand the feeling Is almost unanimous among the manufacturers lhat should Iho election result in favor of sound money and McKlnley that they will Immediately resume operations with a hope that the general business of the country will brighten , and this means employment for the working people , and. when they are given employment , all the wheels of industry are started In Iho right direction , "Wo trust the above will fully answer your Inquiry. Wo have undertaken to give you the exact condition of affairs hero with out any party prejudice , as wo believe that every honest citizen In the United States should have but ono object In view , and that is the adoption of a policy lhat Is for the jest Interests ot the country al large.

In his opening address Mr , Kelley spoke chiefly upon the tariff question , but ho wove n tiie financial question nicely and showed lhat the two Issues are Inseparable. Ho charged the democrallo tariff tinkering with being responsible for the army of iincm- iloyed and asserted that nothing but repub- lean tariff legislation would remedy the cx- sling ovlls ; lhat the money question Is a secondary consideration. Mr. Golden seemed surprised by the masterly effort of his oppo- lent and when ho took the floor began at once a tirade of abuse against the speaker. Ic shifted the argument from tariff to money.

The room of the Fifth Ward llepubllco club at Eighteenth and Lake streels wa crowded last night lo hear Edgar II. Scot discuss Ihc financial question. Dav Chrlsllo presided at Iho meeting and In troduced Mr. Scott , who spoke for ncarl an hour , confining his talk to a dlscusslo : of the issues as presented by the advocate of the free silver Ihcory. While he dl not advance anything that was especial ! new , ho presented the facts and figures 1 a plain and convincing manner and place the propositions clearly before his hearers In opening , ' < Mr. Scott said It was no his purpose'to11 Impugn the motives of hon csty of thOj.advdcates of the Chicago plat form , but he. said he could not refrain frou expressing ail opinion of those who seek t pack the silpr'eml ; courl and overlhrow ai unpopular decision. "I urn opposed lo Ihe policy of these win bellovo that the refusal to pay an hones debt Is any" Icsi dishonest because It I : backed by tlte goverrment , " said the speaker and the sentiment was loudly applauded "The Issue , " ho 'continued , "Is one of com mou honesty. TIxo Chicago platform speak1 the language , of repudiation. No argumen Is necessary In , an issue of this sort. litho the days following the great rebellion thi people of this nation went forth and reestablished established .Iradc and built up new In dustrles ; they spurned the seductive crx o repudiation and made the securities of tin nation' redefehfablu dollar for dollar. It 1 : strange If , after experiencing a period o ! great prosperity aildwhile" only affosted bj a short period of democratic rule tin people should seek lo repudiate honest coiv tiacts and make the name of this greal nation a byword In the world. "The question ! s not an issue bctweer the gold standard and bimetallism , but 11 Is 'can we have blmetallsm under the Chicago cage platform. ' "In 17112 Secretary of the Treasury Ham ilton , after careful Investigation andon - sultatlou with the greatest and brlgii - ' statesmen of the day , concluded that M proper ratio between the two metals was 15 to 1 , The experience of a few years proved lhat the ratio was a mistake and that It should have been IB',4 to 1 , and the gold was driven out of the country and did not come back until the ratio was changed. "If a difference In ratio of 2 or 3 cents drove gold out Of circulation what would be the effect of a difference of17 cents ? This Is not a theory It Is an established fact. It is conclusive proof thit the flat of Iho govcrnme.nl cannel maintain two metals at a ratio different from the market value. PUHPOSELY nnOVR SILVER OUT. "In 1S31 , under the administration of Andrew Jackson , thu great democrat thesa Tcoplo are so fond of telling us about , a change was niado In Ihe coinage law. It was not mudo for the purpose of putting silver In circulation , but for the purpose of taking It out of circulation. The market ratio between the two metals at lhat tlnio , was 1D.CS lo 1. A ratio of 16 to 1 "w"5 s adopted with the avowed intention of drlv- ng the silver out of circulation and It operated Just as the projectors of the plan iad foreseen. The flat ot the government lid not maintain the two metals In clr- culallon becanso Ihe rallo was different from the market value. "The advocates of free silver fell us that ho ratio o' 10 to 1 Will create a demand for Million and increase the value of silver to 1.29 per ounce , putting It on a parity with ; old. Let us sco If experience shows that to ) o a trim argument. " Hy reference to the reports of the dlrec- or of the mint , the speaker showed the operation of Iho Dlanil-Alllson act , roqulr- ng tha secretary of the Ireasury to purchase n stipulated amount of silver each month and coin It at the ratio of 1C to 1. The pojkcr agbcrtcd thai this acl was passed n 1S7S at the Instance of the silver mine iwners who asserted that this action would ncrease thu price of silver , but ho quoted rum the report referred to show thai Iho irico of silver steadily declined from $1.15 tor ounce In lf > 78 to 73 ceuls per ounce in S93.
