i'rosident by saying that he had writ

alleges that it was found necessary to
discrcd't his word as the only method
OF securing this result, and hence It
was done. In explaining the methods
by which this discrchit was thrown
upon his testimony, Walsh refers to
tho fact, which was Published ut the
,ihc, That copy OF the testimony in
the Spoiford-Kcllogg senatorial contest
GIN which Walsh hnd been witncss)

room, aEd was read and referred to by

stance Walsh says: "Intleed. Mr..

whole was in earnest. Its acts have
been OF such character as to preclude
the possibility Of Intelligent men be-

tor the proof OF this ho refers the Pres.
ident to the press.

The telegram from Washington,
showing tho statement made by Mr..
John "A. Walsh, give CHARACTER to
the star-routc prosecutions which they
have long been thought to possess.
The general feeling has been one of
distrust of tho sincerity of those In
charge of tho prosecution, and of np-
prchcnsion that Justice would not be
done. The Walsh letters, it woult,
seem, hold @p Mr.. Arthur and Mr..
Brewster in no enviablc light. The
latter was most especially charged with
the vigorous conduct Of the prosccu-
tions, and hc seems to have fallen FIR
short of the proper performance Of his
duties. When it is remembered that
the President Of the United States was
but recently the boon companion ..
Brady and Dorsey, tho two rhict
villains, there may easily be found
some reason for Mr.. Arthur's attitude
as indicated by Mr.. Walsh. The truth
IS, The whole atmosphere Of Washing
ton is corrupt, and it seems now that
Mr.. Arthur and Mr.. Brewster arc
about as bad as tho rest.

special session without the consent of the
Governor, and while the defeat of the APP
preparation bill would be deplorable, yet
under sections 2, 758, 2,759, 2,76O and 1927
of the Revised Statutes, the benevolent and
reformatory institutions and the executive
departments of the government are so far
provided for that they can be continued
without special inconvenience. Under the
circumstances, with thes e continuing laws in
force, we feel warranted in thinking that the
Governor may not believe that "the public
welfare" either demands or will be enhanced
by a special session of this Legislature So let
the Democrats understand and feel their re-

preparation bill if they dare, and then go be-
fore the people and tell them that that was the
price of the effort to force upon the people OF
Indianapolis a metropolitan police of Demo
cratic bummers.
