Homes of the Liaunr League.

There was considerable excitement in police
circles last night over the rumor that the State
officers will to-day or tomorrow appoint two
new police commissioners to succeed Messrs.
Downing and Murphy. 1t 10 understood the
Liquor League will control the appoint
ments, the members of the associa-
ton having serv,d notice on the
Democratic State cor missioners. that unless lib
eral-minded men are appointed there will be no
more campaign fund from them. Those who
claim to know assert that Mr.. Murphy. will be
succeeded by Sterling r. Holt, of ballot-box
smashing fame, and Mr.. Downing by Jesse Whit
set, who holds a position out at the stockyards.
1t is maintained by Democrats that
the commissioners can hold their places one year
after appointment, and. with this end in view,
the force is to be reorganized by the new COM
missioners on a basis that will please the saloon
keeperS.

'sHis distinguishing characteristic Is his nm
nnbounded faith In his own ultimate success. i
never saw anything like it. If Grant was to
have an arm and a leg shot off and a bullet
through his body, and should be lying helpless
on the battlefield, he would still fully expect TO
get up, mount his horse and win the day. And
such an absolute belief in ultimate success in
sures it,
A prominent Republican statesman who was
present said that, as much as he admired Cen
eral Grants military genius, he believed chat
history would not record unqualified approval Of
that Generals campaign from the Rappaharnock
to the James. 1t was beyond all precedent q
bloody campaign-needlessly so. The battles of
the Wilderness and Cold Harbor were terrible
affairs. The losses in that campaign, he be-
lieved, were greater than those of Napoleon in
his disastrous winter retreatfrom Moscow. With
Norfolk and Fortress Monroe and Newport News
In our undisputed possession, on the south, and
with such a navy as we had, General Grant
ought to have accomplished what he did without
the enormous losses that he sustained.
General Sherman defended General Grant, and
said: ''The slaughter was great, bat it was nee
essary. Most of it ought to have taken place
during the two previous years. General Grant
was unfortunate in falling heir TO the blunders
OF lis predecessors, and in having to pay the
penalty OF those blunders."
OF President Lincolns wonderful grasp of
great subjects, General Sherman remarked:
Before he became a candidate for the presi-
dency he was little more than a country lawyer,
and one with not a large practice at that. No
one ever heard of his studying the more intricate
problems of international law, and yet, when he
came to deal with such questions he proved him
self to be more than a match for Seward and the
ablest dlplomates. / saw the other day a very
striking demonstration of that fact in the origi-
nal of the first letter of instructions to Charles
Francis Adams, our Minister to England. 1t
was written by Seward, but it was interlined,
corrected and remodeled by Lincoln until it be-
came his production more than Stewards"
"Yes," said Mr.. Blaine, who was present, land
il has been disgusting to see Adams claim so
much. In his Grafton on Seward after the
latter's death. the central idea that ran through
the whole of it was that Seward in the State
Department and Adams in England fought
the war to a successful conclusion. A
good illustration of the relations that existed
between Lincoln and Seward may be found in
the letter which the former wrote to the latter
before the Fortress Monroe conference. After
giving him quite minute directions he closed
with: But you will assume to conclude nothing
until my arrival That was not the language Of
a man who was managed by the one to whom he
was writing"

DIFFICULTY Among Claimants.

The money obtained through judgment against
the T., N. A. s. c. railroad by Albert T. Pedigo
for the injuries he received in the Broad Ripple
accident has been paid to the county clerk. 1t
amounts to something over $4,000. Pedigo's
lawyers, Charlton and Lockhardt, placed a lien
on the money for 81 1000 for legal services. but
the clerk received notice from their client not to
pay them more than $500, although the
lawyers claim that they hold q written
contract with him to the effect that they should
have $500. Pedigo says the amount agreed
upon for their fee was only one.third that
amount. During the progress of the case Charl-
ton and Lockwood, who were at that time of
Lebanon, but now belong to the Chi
cago bar, retained Spencer and Van vor-
his TO attend to the case during their
absence. They we're, they claim, to have $500,
and this has also become a lien on the Judgment
money. To further complicate matters, Pedigo
assigned. in pay ment of obligations. several parts
of the Judgment to other persons who have come
IN with counter-notices to the clerk not to pay
more than certain amounts to one or the other
of the assignees. The money waits an ssnicable
settlement, and in the meantime, not a dollar of

CHESS TOURNAMENT.
First Prize Won by Kuhne, of Fort Wayne,
While Lague Wins in Minor Class.

The State tournament has closed and Paul F.
Kuhne, of Fort Wayne, won the major prize and
@. g.. Lague. of Greenfield, the minor. The
winning of the latter was one of the surprises,
as in the play around to determine the two high
est c. Metcalf had wen every game. even the
one he played with Lague; but in the play-of
between Metcalf, who stood first, and Lague,
who stood second, Metcalf could run up but one
game to his credit, while Lague showed he had
the longest pole. Ter he got the required two. In
the major class Mr.. Kuhne won six
games, lost two and had one forfeited
to him by Marquis, of Greencastle. who
had to return home. He stood first, with N.
Willett second with a score of five games won,
three lost and one forfeited tohim by the depart
ing Wright, of Columbus. According to the
rules of the contest kuhne and Willett were enti-
tied to play a second series of three games for
the prize, the winner of the first two to be emit
tied to the prize. As the State constitution re.
quires that all mem beers of the State associations
shall be residents of the State, and that the win
ner or the prize shall for a year be open to chal-
lenge to play a series of match games, Mr.. Will
lett, q nonresident, did not insist on playing
the second series. He did not think it best,
either for Mr.. Kuhne to take up his time or to
the chess players of the State to put their chal-
lenge prize in jeopardy of being held by q non
resident who could not accept their challenges,
so he permitted Mr.. Kuhns to hold the prize
which he had won. The full score in the major
class is as { ollows:

The Case Stated.
ID Mass Republican.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The reason that the witness Perkins, in the In
diana election frauds case, prefers to stay in Jail
for contempt rather than to testify, becomes OBJ
vious from an examination of the proceedings.
Coy, the Indianapolis boss, and others, are
being tried for a conspiracy to change and mu-
tilate the tally-sheets. The testimony shows
that they had a private room near where the
canxassing board was in session, and that at
least two of the changed tally-sheets were car
ried in there. Now Perkins was one of this
gang. and in his delight when the grand jury
recently failed to bring indictments for the
forgery, he told one or Two of his c-onies how
the scheme was worked. II he should repeat
that story on the stand it would send his supe-
riors to the peniteutiary; il he denies it, he will
be called upon to face his admission in a trial
for perjury that might very likely commit him
TO the same refuge. So he sits and meditates
while his friends are maturing q plan to get him
out by habeas corpus proceedings to be brought
before Judge Gresham. 1t is to be hoped that
the discipline will prove salutary to all con-
cerned.

The existence of the association is now a fixed
fact. and promises to remain many a year. This
is the only way for the players to become better
acquainted and advance themselves. Paul +.
Kuhne is twenty-six years of age, and acquired
his chess education in Brunswick, Germany, in
the fall of 1882. For some time he has beer
teller in the First National Bank of Fort Wayne,
and is now in the abstract business.
Emanuel Marquis writes that he played in all
but seven games, of which he won three and
lost four. He had played with every contestant
except Messrs. Guymon and Kuhne, when, by
reason of severe physical indispositlon, ne was
compelled to depart for home, and it is the two
u~nplayed games which, in making up the score
under the rules of the executive committee,
were reckoned as lost by him, and won by his
opponents.
