The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1889-12-18

before they heard the evidence. the result
would be as he forecasts. We are sure
that he is fully informed as to the methods
of the last election, for no person not
versed in the theory and practice has been
recognized by Mr.. HARRISON; but there is
possibility of getting an honest jury, even
with the present U. S. court officials, and
slight as that possibility is these men dare
not risk it.
If Mr.. CHAMBERS wishes to risk a trial
on DUDLEY's previous character, we will
undertake to furnish evidence that he
never faithfully and ably filled" any
office; that he laid himself liable to GRIM
inal indictment in every office he has
filed, and that he has not had any charac-
ter for twenty years. The worst blot on
Judge GREsHAM's record is that he did not
send him to the penitentiary when he
had the chance. But it is idle to tell DUD-
LEY's character to the men who now vol
unteer to defend him, and seek to relieve
him of odium by giving him full and cor
dial social recognition. No one knows his
character better than they. No one better
understands that they must all stand or
fall together. The Boodlers' mutual pro-
lection league is in full operation. Mr..
DUDLEYs bond is good, and he will exact
the full payment of 1t, no matter how dis
tasteful it may be to the obligoS.

was answered and the other offered to the
public gaze by DUDLEy's reception here on
this visit. Dist. Atty. CHANNELS and Atty.
Gen. MIcHENER were closeted with him
giving him advice and counsel, while the
attempt was made to secure his arrest on
Wednesday night. Thursday morning
he went to the u. 5. courtroom and held
public reception. Judge WooDs came
down from the bench to shake hands with
the distinguished criminal, and smaller
Try politicians loaded him with congratu-
lations and expressions OF friendship. All
that the national administration and the
federal courts here can do to protect, JUS
tify and praise this confessed villain has
been done. There are courts in Indiana,
however, where justice can still be had,
and il Mr.. DUDLEY will only make affida-
Wit that he did not write the letter pub
lished by THE SENTINEL we will pay him
$780, and guarantee to have him taken
care of by the state for several years.

sbut the Trust Books ont.

The Jasper Courier, commenting upon
the recent decision of a local judge against
the school book law, and the methods by
which it was obtained, says:
Under any circumstances, the unfair and
despsable course of the school book trust, in
trying by underhanded means to prevent the
children of Indiana obtaining school books at
reasonable prices, and compel them to pay its
firms three and four times the value of the
books should react upon each OF the firms be-
longing to the trust, in such way to pre-
vent either of them obtaining another
contract from any school corporation in the
state. and it will il all the school trustees are
honest, and above being bribed. Any trustee
purchasing from a member OF the trust here
after will justly rest under suspicion of taking
a bribe.
The Co,Tier's suggestion is an excellent
one. The school-book trust, by its dis
reputable and scandalous methods, has
forfeited any right to consideration at the
hands OF the people of Indiana For many
years it plundered our people, realizing,
according to Gov. HovEY, from 300 to 600
per cent. profit on its publications.
Finally the people determined to submit
no longer to this extortion. They made
law, the purpose of which was to destroy
the system OF robbery and jobberv built
up by the trust, and secure good school
books at reasonable prices. Under this
law proposals were invited from the whole
world for supplying textbooks for the
public schools. The trust firms had an
opportunity to bid. They refused to do so.
They sought, by threats and bribery, to
prevent others from bidding. BY these
tactics they succeeded in keeping all for
eign houses out of the competition,
and if home company had not been or
