Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 2f.-The dis
appointed S5 applicants for positions under
Joshua Jump. the new internal revenue col
lcctor, are mad enough to-day to be talking
about holding an Indignation meeting. Their
complaint is that the twenty-five men ap-
pointed are not entitled to the places. The
chief deputy, Lindeman, has been a Demo-
crat but four years, and Scott, the second
deputy, not much longer. One of the new
gaugers has been keeping a saloon and club
house. The selections are all Of Lambs
make. The Scott appointment has caused
quite a sensation by reason Of the discov-
cry that he was dismissed as a gauger
when General Manson was collector, four
years ago last uSust and his dismissal
was on the recommendation OF Special
Agent SOmerville. The charge is under
stood TO have been that in gauging spirits
he gave the distilleTs the benefit OF al
doubts. AS second deputy he viii nave Su-
pervision of the gdugers and their deputies.
Ii will be recalled that soon after Mr..
Cleveland took Office in March the Indian
apOliS Sentinel printed q series OF Washing,
ton specials in which il was alleged In pos,
Itive terms that the appointment Of Jump
was in the interest of a conspiracy or dis
Iillers. Fairbanks, the great distlller and
brewer, who is Jumps relative and John
Lambs ''side partner" has been holding
various conferences with the gang since the
facts about Scott came to the surface. The
Sentinel specials are also printed in the
Gazette, the Democratic organ here. More
over, the editor Of the Gazette wrote a per-
sonal letter 10 Mr. Cleveland making the
point against Jumps appointment that IL
would be IN the interest of Fairbanks, who,
according TO the talk heard on every hand
now, "Owns the town"
SO strong was the pressure Ior places that
Postmaster Donham was called upon TO
again perform his familiar part as a WELD
er of Lambs ak. superintendent or Car
rfers Adams was much surprised 10 find
in the daily paper the G"Enouncement that
he had been removed and Mix Brophy.
former secretary OF the Democratic COM
mittee. appointed In his place. Adams had
served in his position for ten years contin-
uouslY. and on DOMAINS assurance that
he could remain through his term he de-
c'fnod n business offer. AT that time the
genuine civil-service reform b. the reCen-
ton of Adams and two others, one OF whom
has since been removed and the other is
retained for personal reasons.
The Journal correspondent met Mr.. Fair
banks this morning and asked him II he
hid known Of the cause for SCOTS dis
missal from the service when a gauSer.
He pretended to take the question as APP
DIyi5g to the dismissal in the first instance,
when Scott was q gauger under Collector
Mlnshal, and when he was a republican
Fair.nenks said Scott had then helped a
Democratic candidate for the Council and
was dismissed for that
"WelI, you believe in that doctrine; ought
rot he to have been dismtssed?"
Certainly"
You are n spells man, aren't your
Yes"
"And you also believe in the 'machineT"
Certainly"
Fairbanks declined to discuss the dis
