GOVERNOR PORTER TALKS
The Facts About the Selection of Sites
for the New Insane Hospitals.
How and by Whom the Selections Were
Made-An Old Campaign Charge Again
Exploded--The Kansas Land Story.

Yesterday afternoon Journal reporter drop
ped in upon Governor Porter, and the Governor
having a spare half hour the usual brief repor-
torial questions developed into something very
like an intery lew. "You have been subjected to
considerable criticism, Governor" observed the
reporter, ION account of the location of the two
new hospitals for the insane"
Eyes; Valparaiso, Laporte, Elkhart, South
Bend, Plymouth, Warsaw, Fort Wayne, Peru,
Logansport, Richmond, Hagerstown, Corners
vile, Madison, and two or three other places
were applicants for asylums, and there were but
two to be located by the commissioners. The
commissioners would have been glad to obige
each town, but more than a dozen towns had
necessarily to be disappointed. The people of
each, with very natural partiality, persuaded
themselves that their town possessed adj
vantages over all others. The selec
ton of Richmond and Logansport consequently
has been followed by violent expressions
of disapproval by most Of the disappointed
places. 1 am one of the commissIoners-ap
pointed to be such by the Legislature, much
against my WILL the other four commissioners
two of them Democrats and two Republican,
are commissioners from choice, having kindly
accepted appointments from me. Now 1t would
seem, in all fairness, that the member upon
whom the choice was forced should be judged
the most gently, but l have got largely the
greatest share o! abuse. Well, take IL all so
took fortunes Bullets and rewards with equal
thanks" or course know perfectly well that
the people OF the State will soon come
TO understand the whole matter rightly,
and that none will in the end be more
willing to be just than those who are now the
most aXpitad

WHY MADISON WAS NOT CHOSEN

~ M NJ OTro'7r-IV'
''Whst have you to say about MadsOu7"
eff Madison had been north of the National
road, or If an asylum had not been located by
the Legislature at Evansville, there can scarcely
be doubt that Madison would have got one of
them. A majority of the public institutions
OF the State, however, being south of the Ma
tional road, while the greater part of the popu-
lat1on and wealth of the State is north of IL, and
one of the asylnms having been located by law
at Evansville, Madison beaten by her
geography. The commissioners may have again
erred, hut this is the truth about the matter"
"a report has been spread that the commission
ers are hesitating whether to purchase site for
an asylum at Evansville not. account of
the high price of land and def 'ieney of water
Are they mott"
There is no truth in the report We have diff
Guilty in finding site which satisfies all require
ments, but we shall respect the law; not grudg-
ingly, but cheerfuly. IL Will not be long before
a site will be chosen.

"NOw, Governor, want to ask you about
other matter-an entirely different subject Last
Saturdays Herald, of this city, contained ex-
tract from the Washington ID. c. Gazette, in
which correspondent charges you with i'm
properly allowing large claim against the
United States Treasury. How much or how lit
tie truth is there in that story2"
"Oh, that is absurd story, which got little
circulation during my canvass in $780, but for
which no respectable Democratic pa

When first heard it I stated, In an interview
published in the Chicago Tim es, that il any re-
spectacle paper chose seriously to press the
accusation would furnish Joseph f. Mcdonald
or Senator Davis, of Illinois, with means to de-
fray heir expenses and ask him to investigate
it, and would abide by his decision; but the
story fell dead. Now let me tell You what the
case was; Inc law OF Congress creating the
State OF Kansas provided that the State should
have per cent, of the proceeds of the sales of
public lands of the United states within that
State, for the purpose of making public roads,
etc. After the United States sold a very large
body Of these lands Kansas presented a claim
for the promised per cent 1t came before me
while was First Comptroller of the United
States Treasury, The questions were First,
what were public lands within The meaning Of
the law of Congress; and second, what quantity
of these lands had been sold. took great pains
and mnch time tn decide the questions and my
decision was printed. Here is a printed copy of
II. Iascertained what the per cent. TO which
Kansas was enrtled amounted to, but did not
order it TO be paid. On the contrary, decided
Thar there was no appropriation out of which it
could be paid, and that the claim ought to be re.
ferred to Congress for consideration
The Secretary of the Treasury
ferred it to Congress accordingly, and the
two housi of Congress, since my election as
Governor. have considered it and appropriated
money to pay every cent of the amount that /
held was due. The members of the two houses
had, some of them, no doubt. heard the story to
which have referred, yet have been informed
that when the claim came UP not even a di-
vision was called on the question whether the
claim should be allowed"

CLAIMS OF NORTHERN INDIANA.


'The northern part of the State seems to be
quite sensitive" suggested the reporter.
Eyes, and it amuses to see my self assalled in
that quarter, as from first to last advocated
tablishing one of the asylums in the extreme
northern part of the State I argued that so
many railroads pointing to Chicago traversed
and would traverse that part of the State that it
would soon be the most pOpulous part of it,"

1.-THE Fort Wayne Sentinel tries to put on You
the blame for the failure OF Fort Wayne to get
one OF the sylums."
"Oh, yes; that's all on account of difference
in politics. Our Democratic friends there feel
will not say whether justly not-that their
representatives. in the Legislature committed o
serious Dlunder when after they had put Fort
Wayne in the asylum bill alongside of
and allowed Evansville to remain and
draw a prize. The Republicans there have
worried them over 1t, and they now wish to re-
trieve their blunder by charging that Repuo-
lcan Governor Is responsible for their failing TO
get an asylum. The vote of the commissioners
on establis hing an asylum at Richmond stood,
two Democrats and Two Republicans for it, the
Governor being the chairman, and there being
no tie, not voting. For establishing an
asylum at Logansport, the vote stood
for it, and one Republican against
it, the Governor again not voting, as there was
no tie mention This to show how free from
any partisan faint these votes were.
There vote upon Fort Wayne at
all, or, indeed, upon any other places than Lo-
gaDsport ami Richmond Every commissioner
felt most friendly to Fort Wayne, whore the
commissioners were treated with great kindness
and hospitality, bnt, in the discharge of their
public duty, they chose two other places in pref
erence. Will not say they may not have erred,
but will say that they acted honestly"

committee was 10 be heardf'

They were composed of some of the most prom

were the 'rabble spoken of. All the delega-
tions we're invited in to hear each others pre-
sentiment of claims. Senator Bell, the chief
spokesman of Fort Wayne, did not object to
this. but closed his argument by thanking the
commissioners for the patient and courteous
hearing given 10 the Fort Wayne committee"

OF weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
