indianapolis, Ind, Jan. SIT is
charged hy llnrngun's friends here that
Blniuc's friends among the Romhloal
leaders secretly betrayed Harrison Ia
the recent campaign IN pursuance Of an
grCamcnt made in Minneapolis 90 do
ull that they could 10 defeat Harrison
WHOM ho was nominated.
The story goes that Harry Now son
of Consul. General Now, visited New
York at the instance Of the state conn
mites during the campaign 10 secure
funds. lilo met Clarkson. TO whom he
indicated the lines on which Indiana
might bo carried for Harrison. Clark
son laughed nc the statement and indi-
Gated clearly that he would not care II
Harrison should lose Indiana. Now then
appealed 90 Chairman Garter, who was
more courteous than ClArkson, but who
seemed 10 have little hope of carrying
the state
Now was deeply impressed with the
belief that the national executive COM
mittco was under the influence Of Clnrk-
son ana that the latter WAS not loyal to
ElnrrisOn lie HO Informed the state
committee upon his return. Acting upon
pointers which ClarksOn had inadyer-
family given Harrlson'a managers be-
gan nn inquiry that demonstrated TO
their minds that a conspiracy had been
formed among Baine's friends to defeat
the president. Having satisfied theme
selves that certain Indiana politicians
were IN the conspiracy The inquiry WAS
extended to other stntcs aud treason was
found 90 be rife Ia Illinois, Wisconsin,.
Michigan Iowa and other states, and IL
was discovered that among the leaders
were Clarkson, Culom and Farwell OF
Illinois.
The result OF the investigation was
communicated 10 Carter, who laid ID
before Harrison. Garter was ~ favor
Of don0uncing the conspiracy, but the
president over ruled hin, saying that
such course would do more harm than
good. II vas finally determined 10 MOTIF
ly the friends ~ the president 20 be on
their guard and, without letting the par
ties know they were suspected, 10 take
from tllem the direct management u
the campaign. This policy was pursued
during the remainder Of the campaign.

NEW laws.

An extensive canvass of sentiment aud
opinion among leading citizens and bust
ness men by The Gazette correspondent
develops a marked disposition against
the passage Of large amount Of new
laws by the legislature at this session
II is thought that It would be well 10
devote the greater portion Of the session
60 reforming those existing, The custom
AIRY practice Of members going 20 the
legislature with pocketful Of bills, few
of which are general In character, and II
80, but Of little moment, win result In
the accomplishment Of but small
amount Of desirable legislation That II
the opinion Of representative members of
the opposing wings of the Democracy.
Two matters Of Importance upon which
legislation has been numerously suggest.
ed are the urban homestead law and the
statutes governing the execution of trust
deeds by merchants or others, giving
preference 10 certain creditors. An act
submitting 10 popular vote Of the ques-
ton Of constitutional amendment, de-
filming and placing a money or other limi-
tation upon an urban homestead Is
thought to be advisable. II is believed
that such an amendment would be-
adopted 1t II urged that II would have
an excellent tendency upon the com
merce aud trade of the state and would
disabuse the minds Of the business cent
ers and sections outside Of much Of the
prejudice and hesitation prevalent
against the state by reason OF the largo
exemptions which debtors may claim IN.
der the present statutes A number OF
business men have expressed themselves
strongly in favor OF such move by tho
legislature and are confident that the
change suggested win be productive Of
excellent results and largely Increased
trade.
Let the rural homestead laws alone.
They are attractive TO immigration aud
immigration Is what we need" they
say. The country people win unite with
us in such a change. The urban home
stead laws exert much influence 10 trade
and commerce, which are not affected
iujuriously 10 any extent by the rural
homestead law. From the interest dis
played ia this subject IL Is not unlikely
that an effect 10 present IL 60 the legis.

aeads and would be legislation III tho
same direction and for practically the
same purposes. The adoption Of law In
connection with trust deeds, prohibiting
an assignment or disposition Of assets
for the benefit Of certain creditors oven
others and directing IN such eases that
the entire assets be proporiiOred pro-
rata among all creditors ~ generally
favored by those who deem necessary
the amendment suggested concerning the
rural homestead law.
These two measures in the event Of be-
coming laws n Is str0uay urged would
have an excellent effect upon the state
and would greatly stimulate trade aud
business.

Ausin, Tex, Jan. S-(Special.)-

oped contests on hand for seats I'm the

whnt as known rs the Colorado Pictorial
district Ia South Texas. Hon j. b.

test The vote because n number Of the
tickets read Barber. The fight has third
corner In Juo. II. Linn. Hogg Democrat
who win possibly be seated II Ncwson
succeeds in having the Barber vote east
out.
Another interesting contest comes from
the district composed of Wood and Bains
counties. Here the contestants are two
brothers by the name of Cain. one a
Democrat and the other a Populist
From Williamson county there Is also a
contest, where the election of ForbiOn
u Democrat who holds q certiticae of

Populist.
The honored To notable seat 81 "Abra-

great deal Of hard work Is being done in

Gossett and Mr. Cochran. and it is as
yet either mans race according 10 gen
eralship displayed. Mr. Wilson has q
good following. and If there was more
bitterness between his opponents he
would stand good chance.

son Of lamar, MIR Murrell of Cooke,
Mr. Pickett OF Wise, Mr.. Morrison Of
Hamilton, Mr.. Newton of Iarrant, and

astic following of the administration.
Among ms champions are Mr.. Davis Of
Falls, Mr.. Moody of Limestone, Mr..
Pagan Of Lamar, Mr.. Dashle OF LEON,
Mr., Currie Of NanZandt, and Mr. Onion

This Is young mans legislature aud
therein Mr. Gossett hns the advantage.
With a caucus he viii win and without

candidacy lies in the possible union Of
All the others against hin. There Is no
reason TO believe uch a combination
