At this time, when so many rash and in
considerate statements are made, it Is right
that the public attention should be called to
the above facts. That Marshal Hawkes. has
completely suppressed the commission OF
crime in Portland, we do not claim, for that
is impossible; but we do assert that in many
respects he is a model official, and his record
is certainly most creditable one when COM
pared with that of many Of his predecessors.
Viewed calmly and dispassionately, we are
satisfied that all men not blinded by partizan
or personal motives will thank Mayor Chap
man for the appointment and retention In
office of such sterling friend of temperance
and good order as Marshal Hawkes..

Here are some lawyers who know law. and

Local option 10 constitutional in Indiana.
Whoever asserts the contrary has not examined
the law or wiIlfully misstates it. Many statutes
containing the local-option principle have been
approved, among them the stock law. the law
authorizing aid to railroads, and that known as
the Baxter Law of 1873.

Gould Not . knight of Labor.


Referring to the Gould circular-letrer contain
ing lies against General Harrison, Mr.. VIM.
Kleinsmith, district master workman of No. log,
K. of L., said yesterday afternoon, in the pres
ence Of three gentlemen. that he never saw or
heard OF the circular until Gould placed it in
circulation; that it never was pre-
scented to the assembly, and that the
seal Of the assembly was attached to it without
its knowledge or authority. $50 far as I know
he said, iii is simply a personal letter Of Mr..
Gould's to which he attached signature and seal,
doing both on his own responsibility" Since
the publication Of the circular quite a number
of Goulds acquaiptances have come
forward TO say that he IL an
Anarchist. and are willing 10 make a1idavits
that he denounced the prosecution of the Chica-
60 bomb-throwers expressing his sympathy for
them. and characterizing their execution as .
judicial murder.
hin addition to this. Mr.. Howard Shilling, ex-
district financial secretary, b. Of L.. expresses
his doubt as to Gould's membership in
the order, and challenges him to name
the assembly TO which he belongs. He says he
was at a special meeting OF the h. of L. at the
courthouse on one occasion aud heard ex-dis-
trict master workman A. T.. Wilson ask Gould
to what assembly he belonged. and Gould replied
that the room in which it had been meeting was
being repaired and that IL was now meeting in .
livery stable. Mr.. Shilling adds that during
the time ne WAS unaDci6i secretary OF the
assembly TO which Gould claims TO have be-
louged he Gould never paid in q cent. and for
these reasons Mr.. Shilling does not believe
Gould to be q member OF the K. of L. in good
standing.
In conclusion, Mr.. Shilling deplores the
methods that have depleted the ranks Of
the K o. L. in this city. When
he Joined the order he says
the membership was a. high as seven thousand
In this district, and today the city Of Indian
spolis cannot count four hundred K. of L.. in
its ranks; that some Of them are in the pay Of

demnine Gen. Harrison were presented in LOG

quorum was present.

A suggestion TO Delegations.

Chairman Huston yesterday afternoon stated
that he, in common with other friends Of General
Harrison. feels that it would be better if the
Generals time were not so much taken up with
visiting delegations. IL is known that there are
many things which demand his attention, but
so long as he is required to give up to friends
from abroad the large part of each week, 1t 10
impossible for him to attend to other
and important matters. In view Of this
fact. it is suggested to General Har-
risoA's friends throughout the country
that the coming OF all organized delegations
either be postponed for the psssent, or that
their Visits be fixed for days on which large Re-
publican demonstrations are to occur here, when
General Harrison can be seen By all without
trouble or inconvenience. Chairman Huston
expressed himself as greatly pleased with the
interest which the people Of Indiana and neigh
boring States had manifested by their frequent
visits, adding that the coming of these delegs-
tons had been very full of interest to the
friends OF the General, and q valuable contri-
button TO the Indiana campaign.
Of course, this has no reference to delegations
whose dates have been already arranged.
