HENDRICKS VICTORY.
Gossip About the First Round Won by the
Vice President


Vice President.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Vice President
Hendricks victory over Representative
Bynum in the Indianapolis postoffice
contest is..talked of great deal by Indianians.
In many cases Hendricks action is subjected
to adverse criticism. There is not the ut
most good feeling between the
vice president and the Indiana delegation
in congress. and his victory was
won without their support. The statement
that this was the only appointment he has
been interesting himself in is said to be in
correct, and the delegation is not satisfied
with his attitude with relation to the patron
age. He is said to have recommended some
one for nearly every postoffice in the state
without regard to the wishes of members,
and is visiting the departments in the inter
est OF the same, who are his
personal friends. He is said to have
signed a great many petitions for
office seekers both in and out of his state and
takes much more interest in the scramble
than members think is consistent with the
dignity of his Office.
Representative Bynum says that he ex-
pecteu lue hoHliuatiou VI Ills cduuluate up W
the very hour the nomination of Jones was
sent in. 81 was never more confident of
anything than that Creelman was to be the
man. I was assured of it by the postmaster
general. and was given to understand that the
president was with me. / don't think Mr..
Hendricks could have secured the appointment
without begging the president most abjectly
for it, and making the matter one of polit-
ical life or death with him. Mr.. Bynum is
quoted as saying that Mr.. Hendricks assured
him at Indianapolis before coming here, and
also after coming to Washington that he
would not interfere in the appointment of a
postmaster.
Allen Morgan, nephew of Mrs. Hen :
bricks, has been appointed messenger to the
vice president, another case of nepotism at
the capital.

PEACE PROCLAMATION.
Peace In Wilbarger County and Good
viii to All.
Apaoial

Eptglhl
VERNON, TEX, March 1S.-After a
longH and continuous outburstl of
hard feelings and many serious
troubles in this county, 1t seems that a
new era has begun. The trouble of
the county resulted in the arrest and
confinement Of some two dozen citi-
Hens, among them some Of the best cit.
liens OF the county, all OF whom,
when arrested, quietly submitted to
the officers Of the law The arrests
were made principally by Capt.
Schmitt OF the ranger force. After
about weeks confinement, and
AS soon ~ COUNCIL for the state
| and defendants could prepare
| for trial, n preliminary was begun on
the morning of the 10Th inst, which
continued but one day, during which
the STATE introduced but one witness.
| On the morning OF the second day of
the trial, the counsel for the state and
the defendants agreed 10 waive further
examination, and about seventeen out
OF the twenty-three parties In custody
were granted bail In sums ranging
| from 81 coo 10 $40 600. After the par.
ties were liberated they went quietly
about their business. The evidence of
the one states witness examined shows
that there Is, or has been u kind of
mutual agreement between certain
citizens of this and adjoining counties,
The object OF most, ii not all the par
ties being selt-protection. The evil
| dence also shows that during the eX.
isteuco OF this agreement there has
| been killing or two. All IL now quiet,
and from the conduct Of all parties 1t
is believed that 10 will remain go, not
withslanding the very great excite
ment that has existed IN the county
for some time past. From the testi.
mony given at the preliminary trial
and from oil that can be gathered, ii
Is believed that moat, If not all, Of the
trouble in the county has been the re-
suit OF want OF the rigid enforcement
of the laws.
Certain men, and among them the
pest cltl1ens OF the county, have come
to the conclusion that the law was in.
sufficient to protect life, liberty and
property, aud have taken n step that,
10 say the least OF II, will cost them
time, money and probably their lib
erty, The laws on our statute books
combine and contain the wisdom of
up by any small number of men. 1t
is no defect In the law, but In the way
II is executed. When men feel that
they are not secure in their life and
property they should call upon
the officers OF the law 10 protect them,
and II they will not do their duties
they should kick them out and get
those who will. They should also
know the law to which the smallest
penalty Is attached is nevertheless u
law, and should be executed.
Capt. Schmitt and his men have
done, and are yet doing, all that any
one could do to secure peace and
quietude,
The writer believes that the trouble
ls over, The preliminary trial was
held 10y County Judge Orr, the state
was represented by County Attorney
