In paying tribute TO the integrity Of the
Democratic members OF the Senate.
have as much faith in the honor OF
such men as Senators Price and Flournoy
as | can possibly have In any human
beings. To virtually say that the best
examples Of the best men In the Demo-
cratic party would resort to the toulest
double-dealing to secure doubtful ad-
vantage, is saying that there Is no integ-
rity In a race OF beings we claim have
souls and consCiences, for party lines are
not drawn between the good and the
bad men alone, but everywhere human
nature Is the same. have no
doubt there are as many good men in
one party as in the other, Again, what
great gain could the Democratic mem
bers 0f the Senate make by deCeiylng
meP All they could accomplish was to
elect Senator Carr, another Republican,
President Of the Senate.
"The exact truth Of the whole matter,
as now understand It is that up to the
time Senator Carr signed the agreement
to abltrate, Senators Price and Flournoy
We're willing to help elect him President;
but when he signed that, and his action
came to their knowledge, they abandon
ed all idea Of aiding In his election.
"Fnally, as to how Senator Carr and
myself regard my altitude toward the
arbitration project, seems 10 me matter
OF no great public Importance, But !
have reason to believe that Senator Carr
regards my position with great pleasure,
seeing that II made him President after
he had given up about all hope In that
direction. So far as am concerned, the
way things are turning out, / certainly
have no reason to regret my course,
Further, have tried during all my pub
lie life, 10 do what Is right, and let con.
sequences take care OF themselves, That
being the case, my conscience does not
trouble me, OF course, II were a po-
litiCal schemer and triCEster, looking out
solely for my own advancement, would
always be disappointed in case my plans
fail. Instead Of being such character,
l claim to have the interest Of the Re-
publican party Of the State and nation at
heart; and as seem to be thrown some-
what prominently forward in the pres
ent crisis in this State, my opinion is
that when the INTELLIGENcRR critiCises
me as 1t does In It's dispatch in the issue
OF the 22d, II strikes at the Republican
party OF the State-although freely
grantit does not intend to do so"

the INDIANA CONTEST.
Can the Legislature Try Sian for "a Crime
and fix Ills Punishment


INDIANAPOLIS, ISp., Jan. 24.-The Sen.
ate Committee on Elections reported on
the Ray-oarpenter contested election
case this morning. Carpenter (Repub-
lIcan) is the occupant OF the seat. The
Ave Democrats on the committee re.
ported in favor Of unseating Carpenter,
and the three Republicans Joined in q
minority report against the unseating.
The majority report charges that Gar.
penter secured his seat by purchasing
votes and It specifies several instances In
which he furnished money to Demo.
Gratis for their votes. The minority re-
port enters a general denial OF the charges
and takes the constitutional ground that
even II Carpenter did purchase votes
the Senate could not unseat him on the
charge unless he had been convicted Of
the crime In the courts. The Senate, 1t
is held, has no judicial power and there
fore cannot try a member for crime,
find him guilty and fix his punishment.
