INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
An Important Meeting Of the Democratic State Committee Being Held for the Purpose
 of Selecting a New State
 Central Committee.

INDIANAPOLIS, lND,, Dec. l1.-An important meeting of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee is in session at the Grand Hotel today with Chairman Taggart presiding. Although the call states that the purpose of the meeting is to fix the time for selecting members of the new State Central Committee, there is reason to believe that matters of much more importance are receiy- ing the attention of the assembled party leaders and interesting develop ments are anticipa ted. Chairman Taggart, according to q rumor which has gained considerable currency among politicians lately, is fondly cherishing the belief that in view of his success in the recent mayoralty campaign in this city he is the logical democratic candidate for Governor. He has a large fol- lowing of friends who, it is said, share his belief in this matter and are already quietly sounding the committeeman to ascertain their sentiments in the matter. Whatever truth there may be in the story it has gained wide circulation, and a public announcement of his can didacy at the proper time will cause little or no surprise.

negress, his clothes on one chair and hers on another If he could share her bed, the natural conclusion is that he would revel in her board.
 As to how far Judge Brown is to be eensured we can only go on his own statement, which is to the effect that for some tlme he aods co9niz- ont of the fact thot aohea he osseSsed c fine dgaiast c naan for 'associatia9 he ,oas doing so nelapfnllg.
 Surely, Judge, you have misinter- preted your oath of office when you show such partiality between man who has intelligence enough to em- ploy an attorney to defend him when charged with "associating' and poor, ignorant devil who Las to work out fine amla'efally iaa posed on him.
 No one regrets more than the writer that there is no law covering the deplorable and growing evil, but every man is entitled to the same consideration when arraigned in our courts of justice.
 In conclusion, dear MT. Jones, allow me to remark that since the exposure of your present mode of living has been made by the Police Court, and it has no authority to act, the writer, through the GRAPHIC, re- fers the matter to the States officers that you may be dealt with accord .ng to law.

ST. LOUIS GETS TT.
The Mound City Will Entertain the Republican National Gonyen-

San Francisco Started Out in the Lead and Held it Up to the
 Last Ballot.

WASHINGTON. December 10.-The Republican National Convention will be held at St. Louis on June l6th next. That was the decision reached by the Republican National Commit tee this afternoon, after spirited balloting.
 The morning Was spent in hearing speeches in behalf of the contending cities. An eager crowd choked mp the corridors leading to the commit tee room and and awaited the result of the vote. There was much excite ment as the balloting proceeded, the committeeman of the interested sec tions hurrying about and seeking to effect combinations. At tte outset the nineteen votes claimed from the first, The strength of St. Louis was greater than had been expected, while Pittsbnrg nor Chicago made the showing anticipated. St. Louis gained steadily on each ballot. San Francisco sought to meet this by drawing the votes of Chicago, but without avail. The first serious break occurred when David Martin, of Pennsylvania, led the Pittsburg forces toward St. Louis. On the fourth and last formal ballot, San Francisco's forces broke for the first time, Michigan. Wyoming and Connecticut going to St. Louis. That settled it and gave St. Louis the convention. The choice was made unanimous on motion of Mr. De Young, of San Francisco.

NEW YORK, Dee. 1.-The coming of John Hare, the English actor, who will arrive day after tomorrow on the campania, is looked forward to more eagerly by society than by theatrical folk, for Hare. like the Kendals, is eminently Il man of fashion and this fact is owing to a great extent his popularity as an actor. Already that element of New York select society which makes it q point to patlonize the tbeater and things theatrical has arranged round Of brilliant social functions to he given in honor of the visiting thespain, ,'and hiH success. as q social lion at lcast, is :lsaured, Receptions, snppers and entartaIn- ments without number wtil be rendered him lsy saenabera saf tI1e Four Hundred flis

fession the prediction is freely ex- pressed that Hare is not capable enough as an actor to score the artistic success achieved by Mir. Beerbohm Tree, on the occasion Of his recent American tour, especially New York City, where his social distinction will be of little advan- tage. However this may be it is certain the world theatrical is awaiting with a lively interest the appearance of Mir.

to pen the above. Why so solici- tous that an injustice be not done Judge Brown? Don't you remember, Jonesy, that one bright September morning, only a short while after leaving the residence occupied by yourself and the aeoona you inn ported from Mississippi to share your bed and board, you were fined $10 by this self-same Brown for 'sas- sociating?' You acknowledged the offense and paid your charge" lik little man.
 In stating you were living in adul- tery the GRAPHIC was guilty of Q technical error. Unless we could prove that either yourself or your "blaek beauty" were married your crime is most assuredly not adul- tery, but it is certainly illegal cohab- itation, and assuredly disgraceful proceeding, for the commission of which the good people of the com munity would do well to treat all of your ilk to a nicely prepared and well done coat of tar and feathers.
 True, there was no evidence save your own adduced at your recent trial to show that you were guilty of the offense with which you were charged. Mr. Foster, your attor- ney, when the policemen who made the arrest attempted to testify, stated to the court that the defense was making no denial of the charge, but was fighting the case from a legal standpoint. MT. Foster stated to Judge Brown that inasm ueh as he had in a previous case presented Supreme Court decisions showing that the fine for "associating" would not hold, he presumed that it would be useless to cover the ground again. His Honor, Judge Brown, notwithstanding that only three months before he had fined the same man for the same offense, scratched his head and dismissed the case. In the name of justice, we inquire if this is right? If Mr. Jones is sub- jected to a fine for an offense today, surely he is tomorrow for a similar offense.
 Since his residence in our city Mr. Jones has proven most obnox ious to the decent people in whose vicinity he has resided-a veritable ;wart on the face of society-and in- stead of indicting letters defending his actions he should grasp his left init" with his right and heartily congratulate himself that he has been so leniently dealt with.
 We understand on good authority that the negro woman, whose house rent, grocery bill and incidental ex- penses he has paid since her arrival in our midst, is a Mississippi impor- tation. Not only has he been guilty of leading life which should cause the bush of shame to mount to the cheek of every decent man, but he has seen fit to bring a low, indecent negress with him to our midst.
 At the time of Jones last arrest he was found in the bed of the

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-12-11


 The following communication was received at the GRAPHIC office yes terday afternoon
 PINE BLUFF, Dec. 10, 1895, To the Editor of the Graphic.
 The article which appears in your issue of the 9th inst headed "Liv- ing With a Coon, does great in- justice to both Judge Brown and myself. is throughout tissue of falsehood. A newspaper reporter who will imagine facts that never existed and then shamelessly color them in order that his paper may furnish it's readers with a sensa tional article, is hardly 8 fit mouth piece for an oracle, even if merited, against either officer or private citi- zen. l was not charged with the crime of adultery with a negress or any one else, and there was not one word of evidence adduced as stated in your paper that l was Living with negress, occupying the same house and eating at the same table" or that l ''lived with her as man and wife. Judge Brown, who tried the case, the reporter for the Commer cial and my attorney, who repre- sented me in the trial, will corrob- crate this statement if you care to inquire into the evidence in the case. Fair minded people cannot be led to believe that a sworn officer of the law. as conscientious as Judge Brown is known by all to be in the discharge of his duties, with no per sonal interest whatever at stake in the matter, could be so unmindful of the interest of morality and the good order of society in their com munity as to discharge without pun ishment man with such evidence against him as you say obtained in this case. The charge is as outrag eous as it is absurd The officers who unlawfully arrested and de- tained me in custody will probably be given an opportunity to explain their conduct otherwise than through the columns of your news paper. Very espectfully.

Fight Against Hotel saloon Finally En-
braces the Labor Question.
Boston, March S-The state board Of
arbitration has stepped in to settle a labor
dispute growing out of manufacturers
dislike for preacher. Employees of the
Mcdfield Straw works, OF Searlc, Daily s.
Co., to the numter of twenty-seven, have
been locked out. The consensus of opin-
ion was that the lockout of the twenty
seven church members was due to Colonel
Edwin V. Mltchelfs dislike to Rev.
Nathan L. Dyer. Colonel Mitchell is the
Il Z o. the concern and Rev. Mr.. Dyer
:he pastor of the Congregational church.
The evidence tended to show that the
preacher was Instrumental in securing the
conviction of the Medfield hotel proprietor
of selling liquor and thereupon Colonel
Mitchell, who was financially interested
in the hotel, threatened TO discharge all of
the straw works help who attended the
church. Others he threatened to dis
charge If they used n stable belonging to
a member OF the church, and he declared
that his employees should not trade with a
certain storekeeper whose wife belonged
to that churcn.
John G. Ashley sent an affidavit from
Aroostook county, Maine, in which he de
clared that Colonel Mitchell had said that
every one who helped support Dyer would
have to go; that te would give $500 to the
church if Dyer was driven away; that he
would drive the minister from town if il
took all the money he had. Eight former
employees testified in confederation that
men were discharged either for attending
the church or trading with marketman OF
grocer whom Pastor Dyer bought goods Of.
! Parson Dyer said his congregation had
been greatly reduced on this account, and
at least forty now employed in tie straw
works had resigned from church in order
| TO maintain their situations, while fifteen
church mem bers and twelve sympathizers
had been locked out. The board is Likely
TO reprimand the firm.
