r HAUTE, Ind, March 1.-THE
Governors veto of the city charter bill
was not unexpected, and the people of Terre

sent to him without being generally known
here, and it is asked Oh every hand what
leading citizens and taxpayers signed such
messages. If many did they are not telling
their friends of their act. 1t is suggested
that perhaps some of the leading citizens
are the same who paraded before Mr.. Cleve-
land as leading merchants asking for
the appointment of a Lamb man. They
were saloon keepers, who were under the
influence of the Fairbanks brewery CLIQUE.
which now uses the police to sell the beer
of that particular brewery. One name of
a distinguished citizen has been freely used
as that of one Of the opponents of the
charter, but he was one of the Republicans

bill which he had previously opposed, be-
cause with the Shiyeley bill dead the gang
police rule here would be continued. After
the charter bill had passed the Senate the
Shiveley bill went to the Governor. Then
the Fairbanks-Lamb crowd began working
to get the charter bill through the House.
Under its provision for the election of COM
missioners they would have a chance, but
with the Republican Mayor appointing the
commissioners as provided by the Shiveley
bill, they would be utterly without in
fuence. The three Republican Representa-
tlveS from this county would not ask for
the passage of the charter bill. but after
the Shiveley bill had failed to pass over the
veto, the Republicans. with the few ex-
ceptions of those who are with the Tam
many, took up the charter bill ana put it
through the House against the efforts of
the bosses who but a few days before
were trying to impress the legislators with
the belief that it was exactly what the
people of TeTre Haute wanted. 1t is a safe
assertion that, excluding those who are
in one way or another under the influence
OF the local Tammany. nine-tenths of the
people of the city would have welcomed
the charter for the one reason that it legis-
lated out of. power the Tammany police.
With Republicans the proportion is even
larger.
