ADRIAN 5. HEWITT.
Possibility that He May Measure Strength
with the Labor Organizations.

Possibility that He May Measure Strength
with the Labor Organizations.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Jou=pa.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I0.-Informatlon comes
here through private sources that Abram 5.
Hewitt. at present Mayor of the city of New
York, aspireslcto be Governor of his State. His
friends are manipulating the wires to
cure his nomination this year. Hewitt, it will
be remembered, is the most bitter enemy OF
ganized labor of any man prominent in public
life. His recent bitter personal and general at
tacks upon the principles of combined labor
were nothing new. When he was a member of
the committee on ways and means in the last
two Congresses he took special pride in brow
beating, and abusing, and bulldozing the poor
laboring men who appeared before the commit
tee against that reduction of the tariff which
Mr.. Hewitt was laboring for which would ruin
the interests Of laboring men. He was the only
man who ever served the committee on
ways and means who was unknd to the poor
fellows who appeared to plead their own rights.
One of the leading Knights of Labor in
Washington says that already there is move
ment in the ranks of organized labor in New
York City TO throttle MIR. Hewitt should he
receive a nomination to another Office He says
there is to be an amalgamation of the Knights
of Labor and the Farmers Alliance in the State
of New York. and that they will hold the bal
ance of political power without exertion He
says these organizations will be solidly against
Mr. Hewitt, and that the members of them can
not be forced by party ties personal obliga-
lions to support Mr.. Hewitt for anything.
Should Hewitt receive the nomination. he will.
of course. take open ground against organized
labor. and try to whip into his following the
wealthy of the opposition party, on the ground
that he is taking stand against anarchy. He
will try to get tnat combined support which was
accorded the successful candidate for Mayor of
Chicago recently. 1t is not believed here that
Mr. Hewitt can secure the combination OF par
ties for his support in the presidential cam
paign for any Office, much less that of Gov
ernor of New York. 1t begins to look though
this man. who has never had warm pusation
for the men who do the toiling in the shops and
the field has about run his political course.

THE K. III. @. LAWSUIT.
The Jury Awards Miss Campbell ST., 1000
Damages for Arbuckle's Broken Promise.

NEW YORK. JAN 10.-There was again an ex-
Court this morning, and so large was it that the
doors could not be closed. The space within
the bar impossible. AS as it was
made known, last evening that the jury in the
Campbell-Arbuckle breach of promise case had
agreed upon a verdict, the belief became univer-
been known from the title given to her by Mr..
Arbuckle in his letters, had been successful,
and the announcement of the exact amount that
for. At 1870 o'clock this morning the jury,
with No. absent. were escorted to their seats
through a private door. and the foreman drew
the sealed verdict from his pocket. Neither
plaintiff nor defendant in court, and
Judge Fullerton, of the complainant's counsel,
was the only principal lawyer present. Judge
Beach read tho verdict without change of
TO make known. The clerk read that $40. 900
had been awarded to Miss Campbell because of
the failure of Charles Arbuckle, to keep his
promise of marriage with the plaintiff. The an
nouncement greeted with applause, and low
pitched whistles that were quickly silenced.
Lawyer Rushmore, of the prosecution, lmmed-
lately moved for extra allowance. Mr.. Fuller

defense the smallness of the amount Law

but Judge Beach granted Dummies" counsel

the verdict as excessive and against the weight
of evidence. This denied, but Baby
entry of Judgment for forty-five days. in which
he can decide whether to pay the s45, 900 to
Cuckoo or to appeal the case. The latter
course will probably be adopted.

CARLIsLE's SEAT.
Bald Fraud Perpetrated in the Interest of
the Speaker of the House.

A Bald Fraud Perpetrated in the Interest of
the Speaker of the House.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The arguments made
and afidayirs submitted in the contest of Thobe
against Speaker Carlisle's seat in the House
show that the most revolving frauds were COM
mitted in tho slection which gave MIR. Carlisle
his seat The fact that there were tickets
counted for Mr.. Carlisle which were used in the
election years before, and that the returns from
a large portion of the voting precincts were
made and certified in favor of Mr.. Carlisle in
the same handwriting, not among the great
est frauds perpetrated for the Speaker. No
effort has been made to disprove the charge that
Mr.. Carlisle called out of his bed at 1 o'clock
on the night following the election and taken
into q private consultation with his friends;
that the Speaker tn ere acknowledged that
Thebe had defeated him by than two
thousand majority. and that at the end of this
conversation kilograms were sent to a number of
the Democratic strongholds in the district
questing that the returns be withheld till
farther orders. The friends of the Speaker
seem to regard this as huge joke. while the
country must see that it was juggling with the
honest franchise of the people, and that it was
the most audacious and bald fraud imaginable.
There could be but one object In ordering the
returns withheld, and that was to make the re-
turns show a majority for Carlisle. It was
shown that the returns which were made in the
same uniform handwriting came largely from
the counties to which the kilograms directing
the returns to be withheld were sent This dis
closes fraud which in cur Northern States
would amount to a crime, and which has been
the cause of men serving terms in the penitsn-
tiary.
A years ago it was charged in the news
papers that the friends of Carlisle had COM
mitted great frauds in making up the election
returns and stuffing the ballotb At that
time one charged Carlisle with being a party
to the fraud. It was simply held that he
defeated at the polls through carelessness he
having not given his canvass any attention.
Nov however, since his name has been brought
into the conference which was held after mid
night Immediately following the election,
the kindly aud charitable feeling which
and fair Democrats in the House towards the
Speaker has begun to disappear Men who
a fortnight ago regarded Mr. Carlisle as fair
and honorable politician, have to regard
him otherwise, if they have not more than
pended Judgment. The disclosures which are
going to follow in the election IN Carlisle's dis
trlct will show more unfairness and corruption
than probably ever exhibited in any of the
precincts where the shotgun and tho pistol
played parts in Mississippi or tn Q Carolinas 1t
is revolving mess, and is diSheartening to
all good citizens who had hoped that the time
had arrived when there could be decent cleo
tious and fair returns, where men of the prom
inence of Speaker Carlisle were taking part.

No Favor for Pension Bills.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10-There is demand
upon the part of Democrats in the House to
dispense with the session Friday nights for
consideration of pension bills. Tho committee
on rules has not yet reported in favor of Friday
night sessions, and pressure is being brought by
Democrats against it. One of them said to me
this afternoon: 1--WE must put pension bills on
the same ground that other measures rest
No preference can be given them. Pension bills
no better than others, and know majority
of Democrats are not in favor of night sessions
for them, any more than other bills"
This will not be good news for the soldiers of
the country and those who are hoping for pen
sion legislation at the hands of this Congress.
There is but very little chance for pension
measures in this House. even with sessions
each Friday night specially for it. The custom
of holding sessions Friday night for pension
bills was established by the Forty-seventh Con-
gress, which was Republican.

TARIFF REFORM.
Republican Members Begin to Receive the
Views of Their Constituents.
Snac al To he nd

sDeciaI to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. lO-Some of the Repub-
lican members from tariff protection districts
are receiving variety of letters from their con-
stituents now. The members who had expressed
themselves willing to assist in tariff reform are
in receipt of vigorous protests against their in
clnations, along with letters indorsing their
willingness to help reform the tariff. One of
the Oldest Republican members, who represents
a district strong for protection, gave me the
situation, this morning, in something like this
language: 81 am willing to vote for tariff bill
which will not impair our industries and degrade
labor, because think there are some gross in
CAPABILITIES in the present laws. My district is
strong for protection, and / am
receiving some letters from my people
urging me to stand firm to the present
laws. The fact IS q large majority of
the voters in my district are in favor of reform
of the tariff such I am willing to vote for but
just at present they do not realize it. 1 am con-
fdent that if l should vote against the reason
able measure which my party will be forced to
accept. that would be condemned when il

the best tor my people. Now. in my district
there are a large number of manufactures
They make furniture, agricultural implements,
saw-mills, engines. etc, and pay duty the
lumber. iron and all other material they use.
They may not import all they use but there is a
duty levied, all the same. upon the articles they
consume. which keeps up the price they pay.
When their goods are manufactured there is not
particle of protection upon them. They have
to compete in the sale of their products with the
world am, therefore. in favor of
free lumber, for instance, aud for free
paints and varnishes, and some of the
other articles which my constituents consume
and put into products not protected. do not
oelieve that they should have to pay out duties
