to the person to whom he was writing that
If he would come up and point out a Re-

that he had never written such a letter, but
Senator Boyd states that he has a copy Of
the letter in his possession. Senator Boyd
states that the Institution Is rent with strife

picious of the employees, and that the en-
ployes and the inmates stand in constant
fear of johnson. The latter, said Senator
Boyd, was constantly comparing his admin

Blake, to the detriment of the latter, while
at the same time it was apparent that the
children loved Blake and hated and feared
Johnson.

that was held after supper Senator's Kern

Tense. The work of the committee has been
an arduous one. The case was a difficult

of the ballots that were rejected at the time
OF the counting of the vote were protested
and hence We're not preserved. There was q
plurality of flfty-seven to overcome before
the contestant could be declared entitled TO
Inc seat, and this had TO be done by aft
davit and by other evidence. Afidavits were
presented concerning about seventy-fye
votes which, it was alleged. the contestant
was entitled to, and the defendant produced
evidence to show himself entitled TO a num-
Der of votes which he did not get. The com

Ia Nicholson Bin in Fayette County.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Some time ago the News, OF Connersville,
in an editorial stated that 1.-The Nicholson
bill was supported by third party men
who would not support the Republican
ticket if the party platform contained a
a Prohibition plank" and other similar
stuff. This is a statement that should not
so unrebuked. More than one hundred of
the stanchest Republicans of Connersville
have Endorsed the Nicholson bill, while only
three of the third party men have agreed
to indorse it. The people of Fayette county
are in earnest and will not be satisfied
IT the Republican Legislature refuses to
enact this bill for the protection of public
morals. The writer is as stanch a Repub-
lican as Fayette county contains, and prob
ably has the interest Of the party as much
at heart as the editor of the Connersville
News: and the party born as a party of
justice, morality, freedom to the oppressed,
and which has the support of the moral
and religious people of indiana owes to
the people a debt which it cannot repudiate
now that it has. the power and opportunity
to repay. The party will be the stronger
by complying with plain duty.
