WHAT COLONEL MATsON HAD TO
EIGUm

During the campaign there was some little
brag and buster INDUCED in by Republicans
hereabouts, and by some living in Hendricks
and other counties of the Fifth Congress
sional District that Major Grubbs would run
Colonel Matson very close, If not defeat him
outright, in the race for Congress that was
then ''on." Is did not, however, give rs
any concern, although there are immense
possibilities within the reach OF the gigantic
corruption funds heretofore accumulated
seemingly without much difficulty by the
Republican managing bosses throughout all
the doubtful States and Congressional Dis
tricts. Mr.. Grubbs did make quite an active
canvass, and 1t seems that he had some
question able sort of encouragement which
probably inflated him into a sort of
ambitious longing that he nigh.

surprise, and we think it Will create more

Grubbs was to be afforded every facility in
his campaign. The order of Dudley is char
acterizsd as unusual and remarkable" by
Chief Comstock. This places the charge upon
a solid basis that the Pension Office ma
chinery was used for partisan purposes in
Indiana and Ohio. Our Washington CORES
pendent says that Chairman War
ner, of the House Committee
on Pensions, chsracterizes the order
of Dudley as remarkable and mean"
because it was issued in the interest of the
opposition to Colonel Matson, who has been
so fair in all his dealings with the pension
Office and Commissioner Dudley. Here we
have then the secret of the hopes of Mr..
Grubbs that be would defeat the gallant
Matson for Congress.

The following letter has been handed us
for publication:
E. S. Booze, ESQ.,, Representative Fountain
County:
DEAR SIR-We received today a COPY of
the ring House bill, also Senate bill No 2S7,
entitled AN act to regulate banks Of dis

unequal and can give no protection To de-

ner; and there does not exist any more
right to investigate private banks than
any other private business, without there is
suspicion of Inisdemeansr. A law should
be passed covering these points named aud
making the penalty for violations of same

The depositor has more protection in
private bank than in q National bank;
especially where the private bank is an I'M
limited partnership, and the partners all
liable fer every dollar they are worth which
is the case with our bank, and not incor-
porated. For law TO decide what private
bank may accept as security is ridiculous
and noDsensical.
II man desires to give q mortgage on
an eighty or 100-scre farm for q $500 loan, it
would be great injustice for Law to pro-
hibit any bank from accepting It, and for
any period mutually agreeable aud consistent

A Police Chief Investigated.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 13.-After three DAYS
Investigation OF certain charges against Lem.
uel Ellsworth, Chief OF the City Police De.
partment, Mayor Wallber to day requested
the resignation OF Ellsworth, giving him IN.
til tomorrow TO consider the request. The
investigation was the result of an exposure
by the Sentinel, over a week ago, OF two CITY
detectives retaining 500 as a reward Cor
finding 500 which had been lost by an old
soldier while intoxicated, in the hands of a
friend, the detectives dividing the reward
with Ellsworth. The statements published
were verified by the investigation, and dur
ing the examination of Ellsworth he fatty
contIadioted himself several times. For the
Chiefs conduct in the investigation, if for
no other reason, Mayor Wallber declares he
should have requested EllSwOrth's resigna-
ton. The affair has created great local ex.
element. 1t is believed Ellsworth will re-
sign 10 morrow.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13-An interesting

Frank Walling, the twenty one-year-old
son of the Superintendent. Frank is a sales
man ia q Church street linen house. He
said be had been gambler in Indiana last

this morning, Senator Whitney placed Gen
eIHl Logan in nomination fer Senator. A
motion to proceed 50 ballot was defeatei i.
owing to the refusal of Senator Ruger "a

bring up the motion for ballot. At noon
the Senate decided to join the House in Joint
session, and shortly sfterward 50 Senators
Joined the IA Representatives. Representa-
tive Parker nominated Logan, and Mr.. Line

O'Clock Thursday morning, he telephoned to

to the depot. Sergeant Dundon escorted
him down, and was met by Sheriff Cleary,
who Quoted him by telling him that he had
whipped RAIDER and be wouldn't be able TO
follow him. Hitchcock begged OF the officer
to accompany him as far as Brazil, and be
would pay him well for it. BE informed the

DudIey's FIectioDeeripc raottcs.

WAsHINeToN, Feb. l3.-At a meeting of
the Committee on the Payment of Pension,
B unity and Bacf-paY, to-day, COmstock,
chef Of the Western Division, testified that
he was instructed during the recent cam.
psign by Commissioner Dudley to extend to
Mr.. Grubbs, of Indiana. the same privileges
as were accorded Congressman in presenting
pensions. Mr.. Grubbs was the Republican
candidate for Congress from the Fifth Dis
trict Of that State, and was the opponent Of
Representative Mstson, Democratic candi-
date. Sucn an order, Comstock said, was
considered strange both By himself and the
CLERKS ia the Office. 1t had been the prac-
tice TO extend these privileges to ex mem.
bers OF Congress, but never before had they
been extended to any person who had not
served in Congress, and who, like GTubOs,
was q Congressional candidate.
A number of clerks were examin ed whe
coTroboTsted the testimony given yesterday,
that orders were given tc hold rejected cases
until after the election.

would have Republican successor selected

huenced by Frelinghuysen, rather than a
wicked Democrat should don the sacred
