cinnati, both take the same view the minority of
the committee tookf Why is it that the senator
from Cas- and men who have stood as leaders of
the Democratic party demand an investigation
of the TreasuryP He said that when the officers
of the Meridian National Bank, with whom
the deposit OF $780, 600 had been made
by the Ssate Treasurer, were asked how the
money came into the banks possession, they
rrepiled they could not tell, for the reason that
Mr.. Cooper did not desire that there should be
an investigation Franklin Landers has ex-
pressed willingness that his accounts with the
bank, so far as they might relate to the Treas
ury funds, should be examined, but he had
gsen .Ss r to Tsara
facts with reference to this special
deposit that made an investigation necessary.
With reference to the accusation that the MI
nority were attacking the Treasurer from po-
litical motives. Mr. Foulke inquired who had
made the acrimonious attack upon Governor
Porter because he had suggested the necessity of
an investigation. In reply to the charges that
the minority had no authority but mere rumor
for the statement that the Treasurer had
lost money In the failure of the de-

urer of State, $1,000
CAUSE FOR SUSPICION.
When Senator Magee was speaking he was in
terrupted by Mr.. Cooper, who said in response
to the statement that warrant had been FRO
tested, that the reason the payment had not been
made was because there was no money in the
fund.
The warrant alluded to was issued to Mr.. p
Mccormick, the contractor for the con-
struction of the Evansville Insane Hospital,
and the amount was $4,000. The warrant
was not presented for payment Immediately,
but at the time it was issued by the Auditor
there was fully $50, 600 in the general fund, and
it is authoritatively stated that there ought to
have been not less than $40, 900 when it was
presented. When Auditor Rice was asked, yes
terday afternoon, if he knew that he was issu-
ing warrant for money that was not in
the Treasury, he promptly replied, "All 1
have to say is, that the money ought to have
been there" IL is criminal offense, punishable
by Imprisonment in the penitentary, for the
Auditor to issue q warrant for money that is not
in the Treasury, and James HI. Rice is not a man
who would make such mistake.
