Caucus Action Denounced.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
AS Republican I wish to protest IN the
most emphatic manner against the action
of the Republican legislative caucus in
the matter of executive appointments. 1t
is g. shameful and disgraceful abandon
ment of a principle for which the party
has fought for more than thirty years. 1t
has not even the excuse of a temporary
political advantage experience has long
since shown that the dispensing of patron
age is an element of weakness instead of
a source of strength. We may gain places
for a few Republicans, who will there
after be no better Republicans than now,
but we will insure the disappointment of
scores and inflict wounds that will never
heal. The Republican party will never on
done this betrayal The memory is 7rt
that forgets the lesson of last Novem -sr.
One of the principal causes of the disaster
to the Democratic party was its broken
promises. If the Republican party should
fail to hide the wrong doors in political
oblivion it will deserve and meet with
similar disaster. ROBERT w. MCBRIDE.

GOVERNORS ATTITUDE
HE WILL RESIST THE ATTEMPT TO
TRANSFER APPOINTING POWER.
And Refuse to Sign Commissions
Upon Appointments Not Mnde by
HfmseIf-Soldiers' Home BILL

Governor Matthews received large num-
Der of calls from Democratic members of
the Legislature who assured him that they
would stand by him in his effort to retain
the appointing power in his hands. When
seen by Journal reporter late in the after
noon he said he had just been thinking of
the matter and had about decided upon a
course of action.
81 cannot consent" he said ito compro-
mise my position that the appointments are
executive acts and prerogatives of my Of
flee by approving of any measure that as
sumes to take it from me. When took this
office I believed that it had certain duties,
among which one was to make appoint
ments of executive officers. / contended for
this principle two years ago with my own
party and won with the aid of Republicans.
I cannot now be expected to abandon the
principle when the fight is with those who
then supported me, and to whom politically,
on general party lines. I am opposed. I will
not, therefore, sign commissions and will
push the test to the court of last resort.
Take, for instance, the Soldiers Home bill.
1 am in favor of that home and it would
be highly dsagreeable to have to veto the
bill because it seeks to strip me of my Of
cial rights. / was sorry when sthe caucus
changed the bill SO as to place the appoint
ing power in the hands of the commission
of State officers. / had gone so far as TO
determine whom should appoint in all but
one case. / had selected for that board of
five, Gen. James R.. Carnahan, of this city;
d. n. Foster, of Fort Wayne: gentleman
man of Lafayette, and a gentleman named
Murphy, of Evansville. The fifth man l had
not determined ON, but he would have peen
a Democrat, making the board stand three
Republicans and two Democrats. Whether
1 veto the bill or not, and on that cannoS
determine until it is presented to me. | win
not sign commissions upon the appoint
ment of any other than myself. And mem
beers and Senators who are interested in
measures which carry with them an in
yasion of my rights should bear this IN
mind The principle is one about which l

sented to me too soon Such bills Will re-

account of his dissipated habits, and
since then he had been of little &C
count. Gaudon operated a shoe
store at Pewee Valley, but did moth
ing for his family. In a short while
after the separation scandalous talk
was circulated about the conduct of
Mrs. Gaudon. She was very beau

the men. These reports reached
Gaudons ears and he had often
threatened to kill the man on whom

with Mrs. Gaudon. OF late Tom
Murphy, young fellow of about 20,
was very frequently mentioned. This
afternoon as Gaudon was riding
along the road he met Murphy, who
was on horseback. Gaudon at once
opened fire, killing Murphy's horse
and putting two bullets through
Murphy's head He then left Muir
ply lying in the road and coolly
riding to where Mrs. Gaudon was
boa riding, literally chopped her to
pieces with a big knife. He then
gave himself up and is now in the

about three weeks ago, 1 called
around at his barn and interview,

. convention would be disastrous to
the party. A gentleman sat opposite
him in . char, that remembers the
conversation distinctly. I had been
informed IS to his views, but until
then my fears were not realized. he
farther states his surprise at my
writing to gentlemen of the commit.
tee as he terms it, failed to honor
him. What nonsense. Why repeat.
sdly consult him. One interview il
sufficient. Ny reason for writing to
these gentlemen was to get an OK
preston from the Democrats
throughout the county. This il
what the chairman should have done,
He manifested no desire whatever on
his part to consult the committee
but ignoring their counsel altogeth
er and in his judgment, saw ft te
consult one law firm in Butler
especially in his letter to the Pest
Dispatch. What WAS left then fol
the others to do but to consult each
other! And a. soon as twenty ex.
pressed themselves it WAS published

attitude and said, Il stand ready K
