KELLoGG,S INDICTMENT.
The Aniznus of the CharSes-Wants
TO Hold On TO the Golden EgE

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Tne Indictment OF
ex-senator Kellogg for completely in the Star
Route frauds does not appear TO have struck
the country as being avery brilliant stroke OF
policy, judging from the returns that are
coming in. The charge Is freely made by men
and newspapers not at all friendly to Kellogg
that the men who urged his indictment and
prensed the question TO On Issue have no hope
OF convicting him, and that they have lugged
him in at this late day as an excuse for the
continuation OF their very fat contract with
the Department OF Justice. deadly fear OF
being charged with being In sympathy with
the Star Route robbers has deferred the press
from criticlsing the prosecution, but
that feeling seems to be wearing. away,
and comments are becoming decidedly free.
The trials that are now in progress will be of
the books In a few weeks, and then If the Gov
ernment should fail to convict the defendants,
Messre. Merrick, Bliss and Ker Will be very
apt to come in for q flood OF abuse and adverse
criticism. II It should be found impossible to
convict Brady, Dorsey ct al. upon the evidence
that has been produced IN this trial 1t Will be
patent that they cannot hope to convict Brady
and Kellogg on evidence confessediy not ono
tenth so strong, and the special counsel for the
Government VIII lay themselves open to the
suspicion that desire 10 proiong this per
diem arrangement with the Government has
something to do with the returning OF the af
terthought indictments. Kellogg has not been
free from taint Of suspicion, but in this In
stance there is a strong reason to believe that
politics is mixed up with the fight that has
been waged against him. gentleman who
has opportunities of knowing inside facts con-
nected with tho starRoute prosecution, said
this evening:
DIT has been limited that Mossrs. Merrlck
and Ker, both Of whom arc Democrats OF tho
most rabid type, have been casting about for
an excuse for drawing out OF the case after
this trial. feeling certain, doubtless, that
they would not be kept much longer anyway.
They have, threatened, unless Kellogg
was indicted they would go before the
country with a statement that tho ad-
ministration had tied their hands, by, pro-
tecting him from punishment, and that a
failure 10 convict the defendants, should there
be such failure, would be due TO such
interference In behalf OF the Senator from
Louisiana. That they might not have an
excuse for the illumination OF charge like
that, Merrick and Ker were given FREQ swing,
and that they went before the Grand Jury, and
on the evidence that had been ignored by two
Grand Juries previously, procured an indict-
ment. Kellogg has been made victim to a
political necessity, in measure. He had
been engineering q powerful Independent
movement in Louisiana, and the Democratic
managers concluded this would be good way
| TO destroy his influence in that state. They
may or may not succeed. Time alone cal
tell"
This statement is given for what 1t is worth
