ABRAMS AS A wORKINGMAN.

Lobbied Against the Bill to Restore to Cap
itol Janitors Their Lost Pay.
Candidate Abrams, who wants to succeed
Bud Swift as city clerk, is making his can
vass as workingman and loses no oppor-
tunity to push this false pretense. Abrams
is Baltimore product and q comparatively
recent importation. In the campaign of
1888 he achieved an unenviable reputation
as a perverter Of truth and maligner of
character.
Anent Abramss claim for favors at the
hands of the laboring men it is not out of
place to recall the little record he has made
as promoter of labor interests. Abrams
occupies the position of assistant custodian
of the State-house. and is drawing a salary
of 5000 year, while devotlng his entire
time to his campaign interests.
In 1890 tho janitors at the State
house appointed by Griffin, and who were
under the control of Abrams, we're en-
ployed at $50 a month. That is to say, they
were To receive that amount. This rate of
compensation continued until it was shown
that the appropriation would be exhausted
before the meeting of the Legisla-
ture of last winter. The pay of
ianitors was therefore cut: Some months
they received $45, some $3.50, and for q
time as low as $40. it being promised that
when the Legislature met the deficit should
be made good. Mr.. Abrams's salary at no
time suffered q reduction. In the case of
the janiIors who continued to work at the
reduced pay. the difference between what
they had been promised and what they had
received ranged from $40 down. The total
did not exceed 8. 500. When the Legislature
met they endeavored to get an appropria-
tion to pay this money to which they were by
law and right entitled, but the movement
WAS defeated and the most determined and
effective lobbyist against il was this man
Abrams, who is now posing as the laboring-
mans candidate and friend.
Oct. Is will afford laboring men an oppor-
tunity TO get a whack at Mr.. Abrams. and
many of them will take advantage of it.

BUsKIRK STILL EXPLAINING.
a New Version of What He Meant by "a
Large Slice of Mercy"

a New Version of What He Meant by ga
Large Slice of Mercy"
The damp weather and an apparent gen.
eral lack of interest in the result initiated
against the attendance at the Democratic
meeting last evening at Kroegle's Hall, in
the Fifteenth ward. From fifty to seventy
five people were present. The attendance
ut no time excelled the latter figure.
The first speaker was j. +. Reinhardt,
who addressed the audience in German, his
speech being devoted largely to statistics.
In conclusion Mr.. RelDhardt worked off the
well-wOrn chestnut about scratching, to-
wit: Stamp the square and let the rooster
do the scratching"
Representative Mccullough followed Mr.
Reinhardt In q thirty minutes speech de-
voted TO national politics. the tax law and
the necessity Tor retaining possession of
the election machinery of Indianapolis for
the advantage that would accrue In the
next State and national elections Re-
ferring to the charter. Mr.. Mccullough, re-
ferrlng. no doubt, TO the gerTymander and
the redIstrictlDg ordinance, said that some
thing had TO be done TO keep the Republic
ans out of power.
Judge Buskirk who had his meeting on
Massachusetts avenue snuffed out by the
storm, came In about this time. As il was
raining on the outside. the Judge for once
got q hearing. The feature of Lis speech
@as his explanation of what he meant in
his speech of acceptance. when he said he
would temper the law to the shorn
lamb OF words 60 that effect The Judge
said that what he meant by that was not
that gamblers and knaves should have un-
limited license. Among other things that
he meant was that he would not bear hard
on the man who accidentally com
mitted q crime For example. if a
man accidentally took beer too
much" and WAS arrsigned before him.
If il was shown that the man didn't intend
TO get drunk and was not AN habitual drunk
ara, he would let that man go. This senti-
ment Was more enthusiastically applauded
than any other uttered by any speaker dur
lng the evening.

more than hal been promised, md fur

The rain last night seemed only to in
crease the size Of the audience, for there

went up. Me and Jack" is a sort of bur-
lesque spectacle, and tho large company

deposited in Fletcher * Shapes Bank to
her credit This paragraph from the Sem
tinePs story Is lie out OF the whole cloth:
Years after IL developed that the exchange
had taken place Saturday, April 8: ISL, IN the
Office of William w. Herod. Richter paying
BaumueIler $500 in cash and 500 in notes.-the
appraised difference in value between Mrs.
Richter and Mrs. Baumueller. The money was
counted ont 10 Mrs. Baumueller by Herod and
by her sewed into Baumueller's vest, the four
parties TO the trade being present
After this money was deposited to Mrs:
Richter's credit, Herod IL Winter filed
Richter's complaint for divorce the same
day. Ii went by default and was granted
on May 4. Without any knowledge on the
part OF Mr.. Herod, Baumueller brought
suit Tor divorce from his wife. Mr.. Rapa-
day Baumueller and Mrs. Richter fled.
Mrs. Baumueller filed a cross-petitiOn
through McMaster ~ Boice, setting
up the fact that her husband had
fed with Mrs; Rich Richter E.fo On ,6 Mss
Taylor. He, of course, declined to grant
Baumueller q divorce. and he further
held that she could not obtain divorce De-
cause she had not resided here the time re-
quired by statute. After the required time
had elapsed she came to HerOd ~ Winter
and asked them to file her complaint. The
subsequent Developments had convinced
them that il was case they DID not want
20 be connected with. and they declined TO
obtained her divorce.
In 1884 the Sentinel made a sensational
story of this and was promptly sued for
libel by Richter. The depraved paramount
of Baumiller was its witness in this case.
and O part of her unsupported testimony
was all the substantiatlon of its nasty
story it offered yesterday. 1t did not print
her answers on cross-examination. but
even what il did print was enough to show
that the poor wretch had little or no con-
ception of the meaning of the long
questions put TO her by the SentinePs
attorneys. Nor did it print the testimony
of Richter or any of the others in rebuttal.
Were it worth while the Journal would
produce this testimony, together with state
ments from Richter. Winter, McMaster,
Herod and others. having knowledge of the
case, but judging from the effect OF the
Sentiners first onslaught, it is not worth
the trouble.
A cry of shame went up from people Of
both parties when they saw the sort or
desperate campaign Sullivan and his man.
ayers had entered upon, and q number of
prominent lawyers, Democrats and Repub-
licans, assured Mr.. Herod in person and by
letter of their support from this on. They
argue thatif q legitimate legal service. such
as this was, is likely to be twisted into such
acruel and unwarranted charge, no lawyer
Is safe from such attacks. and any one IS
likely to have his professional reputation
besmirched If he dares TO accept divorce
case or any other In tort practice.

on THE WITNESS STAND.
Attorneys Take Taste of Their
Own Medicine.

That was Sage advice which Judge
Kelly. in his address to the jury yester-
day. gave to attorneys in general and
those in particular who are so unfortu-
nate as to find themselves in the un-
comfortable position of witnesses in
court of a justice. The case was that of
NJ. II. Albin against Gerhard Willrich.
Both are attorneys, ana the plaintiff
sued TO recover his half of a fee which
he claimed was coming to him for
claim recovered by the defendant, and
which the latter had agreed, so he al
leges, to ''divvy" with him. in the
course of the trial both attorneys had to
take-the witness stand and subject them
Selves to the rack and torture of a rigid
crOss-eXamination by their learned
brothers. Said the court. in opening
his charge:
II is very often amusing to spectators to see
doctor compelled to take his own medicine,
but it is never very pleasant to the doctor.
These liugants are, both of them, reputable
lawyers. If they learn no other valuable
lesson from this trial, they will at least be
better able after it TO appreciate the miseries
of their clients while they are upon the wit
ness stand. And they will know it is one
Thing 10 be counsel in case and quite an
other thing TO be the litipaOt
