AS TO STEVENSON.

The attempt to make great man out
of Mr.. Stevenson, the Democratic can
didate for Vice-president, has made
very little Roadway and gives signs of
an early collapse. When he was dis
covered and named at Chicago it was
declared that his nomination would be
worth thousands of votes in Illinois.
To-day it would be bold Democrat
who would claim that it is worth hun.
dred votes in that State. 1t is evident
that he has no personal following to
speak of, while his eccentric political
record is not such rs to inspire conf
dence or command respect.
When Mr.. Stevenson failed to set the
Illinois prairies on fire it was arranged
to have him go to New York and pose
with Grover Cleveland before a Madi-
sOn-square audience. He carried out
his part of the programme to the best of
his ability, except the day that he with
drew for repairs, but made no particu-
lar impression. Next he turned up in
Louisville, where he posed as a native
Kentuckian and Southern gentleman,
be CAD. sab. Now he is at his Bloom
ington home getting his second breath
and loading up with speech to be de-
livered in this State.
Mr.. Stevenson will not make any i'm
preston in Indiana. The Democracy of
Indiana will receive him politely but
cooiIy. The rank and file of the party
in this State regard his nomination as
an act of gross injustice to Governor
Gray, and virtual abandonment of In
diana to the Republicans. And. really.
it was equivalent to an admission that
the Democrats had no hope of carrying
this State. If they had expected to do
SO, or had intended to make hard fight
for it, they would have nominated Gray.
When they passed him over and took
up a third-rate man in Republican
State they surrendered Indiana for good
and all. The reception accord ed to Mr..
Stevenson in this Sta to will be cool and
perfunctOry, and his campaign on this
side of the line will be of the -blan-
ket order. The truth is, Mr.. Stevenson
is very commonplace person. and the
attempt to initiate him to the proper
tiOns of statesman is likely to be at
tended with painful results. He is as
far from being statesman rs Grover
Cleveland is from being a model epis-
tolizer fe

old board, some weeks before the new
one came in, passed rule providing
that interest be paid. and when it was
sought to enforce the rule on the reorgan-
ization, the News fell to impuRning the
motive for it. That paper seems hard
to please on the question. The old
treasurer has repeatedly said that he
received no interest, just as Mr.. Adam
says he receives no interest. So it seems
that, with rule or without it, the fun d
gets no interest. The fact is. as it has
been stated all along, rule to pay in

quest. There is no law to enforce it.

JUDGE aREsHAM's POSITION.

The Chicago News-Record defends
Judge Gresham against the injurious
reports that he will take the stump for
the Peoples party. and says. ellis posi-
ton on the bench and his own good
sense render it absolutely certain that
he will not take the stump for nybody.
Just the same.n adds the News, 'sif the
Republican national ticket gets Judge
Gresham's vote it will be lucky to that
extent
No doubt the News-Record is entirely
right in saying that Judge Gresham has
had no intention or idea of taking the
stump for any party. The proprieties
and traditions of the position he occu-
pies would make such q step almost
scandalOus, and he is not man to violate
such considerations. No more would he
be likely to resign his present life posi-
ton for the short-lived eclat that would
attend such an entrance in politics.
But the Journal is at a loss to UNDER
stand why the News-Record. which as
sumes to speak with kind of authority,

tional ticket gets Judge Gresham's vote
it will be lucky to that extent" Such
insinuations as this do Judge Gresham
quite as much harm as the rumors that
he was to take the stump for the Peoples
party. Everybody knows that Judge
Gresham is not in politics, but every body
knows, also. that his entire adult life
and public career have been identified
with the Republican party, and that be.
is bound by every consideration that in
huences the conduct of honorable men
not to sympathize with its opponents.
Every political honor he has received
has been from or through the Republican
party. and any intimation that he is not
in full sympathy with the party is so
improbable on it's face rs to call for
proof. The News-Record's insinuatlon
that he will not vote the Republican
ticket is quite as dishonoring to him as
the rumor that he would take the stump
against it. Judge Gresham is being in

TIE UNCONSTITUTIONAL eERRYMiSDBR.

The number of Senators and Representa-

apportioned among the several counties &C.
cording to the number of male inhabitants
above twenty-one years of age In each.
The above is the clause of the Con-
stitution of Indiana relating to the ap-
portionment of Senators and Repre-
sentatives. The enumeration of males
is made to the end that members of the
Legislature shall be appOrtiOned among
the counties according to the number of
inhabitants in each. 1t was placed in
the Constitution to avoid the rotten
borough system of England and q few
of the older States. Any apportionment
of members of the Legislature whichig-
nores this requirement of the Constitu-
ton is unconstitutional. When the
enumeration of 1890 was made there
were enough persons over twenty-one
years of age in the State to give one
Senator to II ,020 and one Representa-
tive to 500 voters. Under the present
apportionment law ten senatorial dis
tricts are from 1900 to $500 short of the
required number, and six have an
excess OF from 1900 to 4,500.
One half of the districts have
either deficiency or an excess of one
thousand Oro One senatorial district
has Is, $50 males of the voting age,
while another has only 1880,

Senators "shall be apportioned among
the several counties according to the

The violation of this constitutional re-

from 1000 to 1850 less voters than the
Constitution requires, and twelve have

SOME things are demonstrated by log
ic, some by mathematics, and some are
felt in the air. Of the latter kind is the
fact that Grover Cleveland is not as

people who are in a position to Judge.
For some reason or other there has been
