The Committee of the Reichstag Approves
Bismarcl's East Africa Bill.

The Committee of the Reichstag Approves
Bismarck's East Africa Bill.
BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-The committee of the
Reichstag to which was referred the East
Africa bill, has approved of the measure,
after striking out the clause placing the
East Africa Company under the control of
Captain Wissmann. During the considera-
tion of the bill by the committee Count
Herbert Bismarck said it was impossible to
announce Captain Wissmann's instructions,
because Captain Wissmann could not decide
upon the course to be adopted until he ar
rived in East Africa. In opposition to the
stand taken by DIR. Windthorst and Herr
Virchow, Count Herbert defended the gov
ernment's policy of retaining the fourteen
German stations in the interest of trade.
Of the amount appropriated by the bill,
100000 marks will be applied to the pay
ment of salaries, 100000 marks will be de-
voted to the purchase of arms and ammuni-
ton, and the remainder will be held in re-
serve. Count Herbert stated that the rela-
tions between Germany and England had
not been disturbed during the last three
years. England attached great Importance
TO the maintenance of the authority of the
Sultan of Zanzibar, which Germany, there
fore, also desired should be maintained.
Herr OchelhaeuS5r, q director of the East
Africa Company, was of the opinion that
the measure would lead to the Sultans
downfall, and that then only would mat
terS be prosperous in East Africa.

would not be used in print unless Halstead
refused to make retraction. As that retrac-
ton has been made those in possession of
the documents absolutely decline to give
them up for publication.
r. G. Wood is the man who executed the
forgery. This statment is made without any
equivocation or hesitancy whatever. That
he had an accomplice in the job there is no
manner of doubt, but that there was some
body behind him of more consequence, So
cially and politically, than Wood, is equally
certain.
From the best evidence attainable he first
sold his fraudulent document to those who
wished to knock Campbell out of the race
for governor, the consideration being that he
should be rewarded with q political office,
and then when the matter became so serious
that ii became necessary for him to leave the
city, he placed the matter in such a shape
that those who were defending Campbell
should have the whip hand.
With these palpable and admitted forger-
les in their possession, and through which
a cloud of suspicion and distress, which has
been lowering so long above the bead of the
Democratic candidate for governor, had
been dispelled by those who have managed
the affair in the interest of Campbell con-
slider their mission is accomplished, and
thus the public by the refusal of the lawyers
in the case to allow the affidavits to see the
light of day, is cheated out of the full de-
tails of one of the most interesting political
sensations that ever occurred in this country.
Judge Harmon, who has the affidavits in
his possession, firmly but courteously refus-
es to submit to an interview on the subject,
claiming his professional honor, his solemn
promise to those from whom the papers
were procured, seal his lips, and that he will
give no information whatever.

A Partial Story of the Conspiracy.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE publication BY
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette of the state
ment that Campbell, the Democratic candi-
date for governor, had $4,000 interest in
the ballot box, at the the time he was the in
troducer and advocate as Congressman of
the bill in Congress to make the box the one
used for balloting throughout the country
has some very sensational and is understood
ludicrous features.
Halstead's retraction of the libelous publ
cation in his paper was based on the fact
that Judge Harmon and Mr.. Isaac M. Jor-
dan, counsel for Mr.. Campbell, submitted
depositions and affidavits made in this city
which proved conclusively that the forgery
had been committed and that the name OF
not only Mr.. Campbell was fabricated. but
names of other prominent men are also used.
In the case of Campbell the tracing was
done from fac simile that had letters IN.
O." (Member of Congress) added to it. In
placing the name on the ballot-box SUBJ
scription paper IN. c." was omitted.
Proof of fraud and forgery was SO abso-
lutely conclusive that Halstead at once ad-
mitted he had been deceived, and his full re-
traction, which appeared in this mornings
paper, was the result. & @s9
Affidavits were secured from parties who
furnished them to Judge Harmon and Isaac

4 Big Surprise at Indianapolis.
THE REPUBLICANS LOSE THEIR
MAYOR AND THE CITY
COUNCIL.
1t is a Rebuke to Harrison?

INDIANAPOLIs, October S.-The city
election to-day resulted in good many
surprises. Sullivan, Democrat, is elect
ed Mayor by an overwhelming major
ity, which may reach 1,500 or loo.
Swift, Democrat, is also elected clerk by
a majority of 300 or 400. The Demo-
Gratis, in addition to capturing the
heads of the ticket, have elected thir-
teen out of twenty-five councilmen,
and enough aldermen to give them a
majority on joint ballot of the two
Boards.
It is the first Democratic victory the
Democrats have achieved in this city
for twenty-six years, and there is,
therefore, great rejoicing tonight.
By good many the result is looked
upon as rebuke to President Harrison's
administration. There were many dis
satisfied Office-hunters, and they all
took occasion to show their feelings by
voting the Democratic ticket. After
the result was known tonight many
kilograms were sent to Private Secre-
tary Halford by the Democratic leaders,
congratulating the administration on
the way it has pleased indianapolis Re-
publicans.

FORAKER.
Why He Should be Defeated

Because he has used the appointing
power during his second term to re-
elect himself for a third term. Why
not for fourth, fifth and so on, for
life.
Because he uses the public institu-
tions of the State to serve his own in
terests. This is exemplified in his dis
charging of men from positions in these
institutions, who would not do his bid
ding. Men like Gen'l Grosvenor and
Mayor Lloyd have been made to suffer.
Because he cant tell the truth. He
betrayed Luckey in his canvas for the
collectorship, and upon his honor did
be promise Gen. Kennedy, of Logan
county, that he would not be candi-
date for governor for n third term.
Because, in direct violations of the
State constitution he caused $250,OO0 OF
the State sinking fund to be transferred
to the general revenue fund.
Because he maintained an army OF
clerks, under the pretense of making
up the roster of soldiers, when in re.
ality they were doing political work fol
him. For this season the roster cost
three times what it should.
Because his private interests arr
greater than those of the people. Wit
ness his lending to Col. A. c. Pattor
$4,000 of the States money for yea
without interest. Foarker lives in ,
residence that belongs to Patton.
Because he believes the people ar
not capable of self-government, ant
that he should appoint partisan board
to act as their guardians.

The Strongest Man.

The retraction' by the Cincinnati
Conamericl Gazette of its vicious CAM
paign canard insinuating that Hon.
James E. Campbell was mixed up in a
certain ballot box scheme recalls what
the same paper said last spring. In the
issue of May % this paragraph appear
ed in the editorial department.:
"It looks as if James E. Campbell, OF
Hamilton would be the Democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio. His
strength is not to be underrated by Re-
pubIicans. He is the strongest man the
Democrats could run and it is probable
they will have discretion enough to
nominate him."

Almost anything is being proved
nowadays. The latest is the proof the
British Medical Association has dis
covered by thorough investigation
that alcohol increases longevity. OF
4, ,234 cases examined, the total abstain
ers attained the average age of 81 years
and 13 days. The life of those termed
habitually temperate drinkers were
found to be 63 years and Is days. Care
less people, people who drank, not for
the purpose ofgetting drunk, but sim
ply as it happened, lived to be So years
and 81 days. Free drinkers, those who
drank habitually reached the age Of 81
years and SO days. Decidedly intem-
perate drinkers quit drinking at the
average age of 53 years and thirteen
days.

The Northeastern Farmer and Breed
er, published at Fargo, Dakota, a news
paper of Republican antecedents, and
one of the most influential of its class
in that section, denies that the Repub-
lican party won the late election upon
tariff issue, and asserts that on the
contrary, the people did not understand
the question. 1t says:
"But we have always noticed that
once man is led to investigate the
tariff question: he discovers that it is
really a personal matter; it affects his
success; it enters into the house and
touches almost every article in daily
use; it goes out upon his farm and lev
les heavy tax on all his farm machin-
cry, tools and utensils, tax that brings
him no return in any shape. 1t is then
that he awakes to an interest that does
not stop until it leads him to an intelli-
gent opinion"
The farmers and stockmen of the
northwest will know more about this
question when the next Presidential
election comes off, and the polls will
tell another story when the votes are
counted.

Thus Fully Exposing the
Desperate Attempt
to Carry Ohio
by Fraud
And Proving that Unprinci-
pied Tricksters Are Now
in Full Possession
OF THE OHIO REPUBLICAN Ma
CHINE.

The letter of Murat Halstead, as published
lie that Mr.. Campbell was financially inter-
ested in a bill he introduced into congress
and known as the ballot box bill.
Some days ago an alleged contract was
published in the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette. 1t contained what purported to be the
signature of Mr.. Campbell. This discovery
was heralded over the state and published
everywhere in Republican papers.
Mr.. Campbell, in the meantime, said but
little, contenting himself with merely deny
ing the story. He was waiting for something
which but few of his friends even suspected.
He was, in short, giving his enemies rope to
hang themselves. They have done so.
Behind the published retraction Mr.. Hal.
stead is the gigantic conspiracy of the age
1t involves forgery and fraud, which bring:
the blush of shame to the cheeks of every
honest man in the State of Ohio.
How the rascality was exposed, and how
the chief actors therein we're run to earth ant
forced to acknowledge their crime furnish
es most startling chapter of knavery ant
criminality.
The exposure practically ends the Republi
can campaign. 1t sweeps Foraker and third
termism into the sea. The like of such +
scandal has never before been known il
Ohio. 1t clearly reveals the depth of despai
into which the cause of Foraker has fallen
