Another View of the Case.

Letter in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
They have finally determined to refuse Lieu
tenant. governor Robertson his seat. They will
claim that the Senate alone has the power to fill
a vacancy in the Office of Lieutenantgove
and upon that claim will refuse Robertson his
seat This is to be done IN TIE Interest of
Governor Gray. With Republican in the
acknowledgements chair, Grays chances fog
the Senate would be gone, even if the Demo
Gratis have majority on joint ballot The Lieu.
tenant governor presides at all joint conventions
of the two bodies, and it is expected that by the
rulings of an INSCRIPTIONS Democrat like Green
Smith the Republicans will be defeated in every
effort to elect Senator or to purge the beLevo-
lent institutions
They expect to unseat Republican Senators so
as TO give them majority, but if that scheme ls
met aud checked, as it will be, then, rather than
have Harrison elected, they will resign in body,
ard thus prevent quorum in either house BY
the Constitution it requires thirty -four members
of the Senate and siXty-seven members of the
House to make quorum The old plan of the
Democracy was to bolt and pay visit to Ken
lucky, but severe law was passed against that
method of procedure. and now resigning is the
only thing left to them. 1t is possible that even
that scheme will not work. as many of the DEM
ocrats were elected by such narrow margins that
they will not desire to lay the matter over.
There is a large amount of much needed legis-
lation. but all such matters are secondary in the
eyes of the gang to the holding on to the few Of
fees that are left them. Meagher, the Demo
cratic member from Vigo is so clearly barred by
the Constitution that there will be no delay ia
determining his case, when tie on joint ballot
will result. There are three or four other DEM
ocratic members whose claims are in reality, no
better than those of Meagher, and they will be
unseated, when the Democrats expect to resign
in IA body. The people of the State will not stand
any such foolishness, and new election would
result in giving the Republicans a majority in
both houses

IT seems that another Democratic member
of the Legislature elect is ineligible under the
Constitution. William Drinks, of LaPorte
county, is an Englishman by birth, and only
became citizen of the United States, if the
taking out of final papers be held to be essen
tial to that fact, on the 25th of last August.
One Of the results of this election win be to
compel closer examination into the legal
qualifications of candidates hereafter. 1t will
be remembered how the close election of 1876
sent everybody to searching into the possible
disqualifcations of presidential electors.

could be the least question.

of the State, who were attempting to deprive
him of an Office "of which he was the incum-
bent, having two years yet to serve" But if
this will not suffice, let the Kentucky 'Kun-
mel" consult the files of the Sentinel of the
18th Of August. He will there find no such
sulphurous clouds out of which the awful
voice of Smith is heard denouncing the con-
spirators and spectators. Instead, there is but
the peaceful announcement that when Mr..
Smith was nominated he declined. That is all.
Whence did our Kentucky ''Kunnel' get this
information? From Green Smith himself, or
from some of the present Democratic commit
tee of "safetyg" Even the "Kunnel" will see
now, in the light of the facts of history, that
Green Smith did not make any claims to the
Office of Lieutenant-governor at the time of
the State convention, but acquiesced with his
party in the necessity of nominating candi-
date for the vacancy, and ostentatiously
pledged himself to 'stand by the nominee"
There remains simply that apocryphal CONVEX
sation at Scottsburg to interfere with the be-
lief that Mr.. Green Smith became "clain-

found it necessary to have one in order to
carry out their schemes to cheat the people

few days after the recent congressional race
it became known that the Rev. Louis
Hughes, an aged and highly respected resi-
dent of Menifee county, had voted the Re-
publican ticket, which was the first vote he
had ever cast with that party. On the
strength of this crowd of brutes, under the
guise of regulators, went to his house, and,
although he was in bed sick at the time, tied
him so he could not offer any resistance, and
beat him with hickory sticks until life seemed
extinct. Before leaving him, one of the
number went into the house and beat the
victim with handspike, breaking his jaw
bone and fracturing his skull. Sam Poffert,

WE feel constrained to republish from the
Terre Haute Express of yesterday the following
notice because of its truth and justice:
''The position of State Librarian in Indiana
has for many years been filled by women: in
deed,it is regarded by our Legislature as an
Office to which men need not aspire. Miss Anna
Nicholas is mentioned among many deserving
and competent candidates, and she Is peculiarly
adapted to fill the place acceptably For four
years she was assistant clerk Of the Supreme
Court and since that time has held an editorial
position on the Indianapolis Journal. She is a
remarkably modest aud retiring woman, so that
few have recognized her work as among the very
best of the editorial writing in the Journal,
which is always of superior quality She will
hardly press her claims to the place, individual
ly. but her friends throughout the State, both
personal and professional will use their inf1u-
ence in her behalf. The selection of Miss Mich
olas would be, in every way, an admirable APP
pointment and one which could not be improved

theft from bringing forth the fruit intended.
They die hard, but God grant them grace to die
quickly and gracefully and let US have no more
such.

Indiana can no longer be classed as doubtful
State. She stands to-day unquestionably Re-
publican State, and there is every prospect thas
she will give substantial Republican majority

election the plurality in the State was 10, 924.
and yet Cleveland led Blaine only 6.5l2 Two
years before the coming presidential election che
majority 10 over 1000. The blindest can see the
