His Case to be Tried During the
Present Term of Court.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May 49,
The Cole County Circuit Court con.
vened in regular session this FORE
noon, Judge E. l.. Edwards pre-
siding. Nothing of importance is
expected to-day, but this term will
no doubt furnish much interesting
news before court adjourns. The
d%efalcation of ex-T Treasurer EFT. No
land will be presented to the Grand
Jury and an Indictment returned
against him. Whether he will ask
for a continuance or enter a plea of
guilty is a question for further de-
termination. He has no defense
to make and no hope for escaping
final punishment. Many of his
friends think that the best course
he can pursue is to make an open,
manly statement of the causes
which led to the defalcation, and
look to the court tor the lightest
punishment which can be admins
tered under the law. But there
are others who want the case post
poned as long as possible, and it is
hardly to be doubted that their in
fuence prevented holland from
making a statement to the Post
Dispatch soon after the defalcation
was discovered. The bondsmen of
the ex-Treasurer are still about
&c. 900 short and show no signs of
paying up. Attorney General
Wood stated to a Post-Dispatch
correspondent this morning that
suit would be instituted against
the bondsmen during the present
term of court unless every cent of
the deficit is paid In before adjourn
ment.
There is another matter of no
less Importance which may receive
attention from the Grand Jury, and
that this is the charge of bribery
against certain members of the
Legislature in connection with the
beef inspection bill. Prosecuting
Attorney Dawson has information
relative to this matter, and it is be.
lieved that he will present the
same to the Grand Jury.

NO MONEY IN 1T.
The Thousand Dollar Story q
FabricatiOn-Judge Robin
son Did Not Receive
One Cent.

Regarding the matter of Judge
Elijah Robinson receiving the sum
of $1,000 from Hon. r. H. Norton
when it was determined that one or
the other should withdraw from
the Congressional contest of two
years ago, Judge Robinson printed,
in the Bowling Green Times, over
his signature, shortly after the
convention at Warrenton which
nominated Mr.. Norton adjourned,
the following explanation of the
manner in which the matter was
settled and a denial of ever having
been promised a money eon<idera-
ton. This ought to settle the enc
thousand dollar business. Judge
Robinson said:
| The morning of the second day
we were informed of an effort on
the part of the opposition TO com.
bine, and were told by some of the
Rails delegates that this delegation
intended to accept the proposition
that had been made them. In
short, they put us to the alterna-
tive of nominating Mr.. Wood. or
they would enter into the bargain
which would result In dominating
| Same ono without us
This matter was the subject OF
discussion among my friends for an
hour or two, and finally some one
suggested that inasmuch as | had
been relying on the Rails delega-
ton, aud that delegation had er-
tered into a combination against
me, l had better make some ar
rangement with Norton. He and
l talked about the matter, each try
ing to persuade the other to with
draw. Some one proposed that il
we could not settle it in any other
way, Wa a IS lots, and acting OF the
impulse of the moment, we con-
scented, and it was done.
The only thing thus determined
sgas which o us should withdraw.
There acas no agreement uhateuer
as to delivering respective dele
cations, nor ras there any money
consideration IN 1T. That thousand
dollar story is simply a fabrication
1t fell to my lot to withdraw and
l did it, but 1 can assert with a
clear conscience that l did not re-
ceive, either directly or indirectly,
one cent. My public life Is an
open page-a1l men car read it. I
had an ambition to represent the
people OF this district in Congress,
but defy any one to say that
throughout the three contests l was
guilty of a single dishonorable OF
disreputable act.

FIGHT IN
An Attempt to Wreck the
Democratic Party.
The Party Should be First md the Court
Removal Afterwards.

Prominent Democrats from Mont
gomery county were in Mexico this
week and called at the LEDGER Of
fee. These Democrats claim that
a portion of the Central Committee
of that county, who are for Clark
because he voted against moving
the Court House. stand ready to
wreck the party IN order to deliver
the county to Clark. They say
that parties in that county promis-
ed Clark if he would vote against
moving the Court House he could
have the county for Congress, and
that these same parties are now
trying to deliver the goods at the
expense of the party in the coun-
ty. To prove this point these gen.
tlemen cite the following resolu-
ton, which they say was voted
down by a vote of Z to 5 by the
Clark members of the committee
of Montgomery county:
WHEREAS, The question of tariff
reform is the great issue between
the Democratic and Republican
parties and the coming campaign
must be fought upon that issue,
and
WHEREAS, The Democratic party
is and always has been opposed to
a high protective tariff, believing
it to ce inimical to the interests of
the agricultural and producing
classes, and
WHEREAS, The election of a
United States Senator is of para
mount Importance, requiring thor
ough and efficient organization of
the Democratic party, State, coun-
ty and township as the only mean
of success. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this committee that the Democracy
of this county should be thorough
ly organized in every township and
school district in the county, and a
good strong ticket nominated and
elected that the vote of Montgom-
cry county may be counted for the
Democracy in the election of a
United States Senator.
It is claimed that the Clark-anti-
Court House-removal men on this
committee are not only ready to
vote down the above resolution and
wreck the party in that county, but
are ready to wreck the party in the
entire district and 10 the entire
State, if necessary, in order to pay
Clark for voting and talking against
the removal of the Court House to
Montgomery City.
