Mr.. Il. Is. Hayes, who about
eigh. years ago succeeded in steal
ing the Presidency, has the hardi-
hood, the audacity to now come
forward and ask the government
to reimburse him the tum Of &c..
950-amount which he claims he
expended in fUrthelance Of his
nefarious and disgracefal scheme.
In referring to this fraudulent
claim the New York Sun says:

MR.. ASHBROOKE RESIGNS.
A New Manager for the Indianapolis Insur-
ance Compact To Be Appointed.

| Mr. John T. Ashbrooke, manager of the Indian
apolis Insurance Compact has resigned his posi-
ton and will retire from it about April l. It
has not yet been decided who is to be his success
sor, but it is generally thought that it will be Mr.
Allen, at present assistant manager; and a gen.
tleman who is spoken of as being excellently
qualified for the position. Mr. Ashbrooke has
been manager since 1882, the insurance business
of the city having been previously con-
trolled by a local board. He was appointed
by commission of seven, whose headquarters
are at Cincinnati, and who represent over 100
companies that do business in this city. Since
he has been in his present position he has met
with some opposition both from local agencies
ana business firms, who did not like the rates he
established.
To Journal reporter yesterday, he said: ''The
duties OF this position somewhat onerous,
and have resigned for purely personal reasons,
which 1T is not necessary to make public. When
L came here intended to remain but year, and
would have retired last fall if it had rot been
that was sick for several weeks, and when
recovered it was necessary for me to remain for
some time so as to get the business in proper
shape. l do not know who will benny successor,
and don't think that anybody has been decided
upon"
what about rates2 Is there any probability
OF an advanceP asked the reporter
mot that know Of" was the reply; unless
in special cases. for unusual risks The rates in
Indianapolis are lower now than they are in the
cities of like size west of here and little higher
than they are east think business men have
no reason to complain, for the rates are fair and
equitable"
Last night we'll known agent who is not par
ticularly friendly to Mr.. Ashbrooke, said that his
resignation was the result of dissatisfaction over
his way of conducting business and that this
feeling was not purely local, but that it ex-
tended to the commission at Cincinnati, as
well. The principal complaint against him, he
said, was that he made arbitrary discrimina-
tions in rates.
