Lieut. Gov Nye Says Indiana Demo-

Laporte, Ind, June 7.-Lieutenant
Governor Nye, of Indiana, said to-day:
Before the meeting of the Democratic
state convention in 1886, there viii be
such a revolution in sentiment as to pre-
clude the possibility of the party going on
record as favoring the free silver craze.
1t is now a campaign of education, and
but one logical and safe conclusion can
be reached, and that is the adoption of
a plank that will commit the Dem ocracy
to the support of sound money. There can
be no other result"
Mr.. Nye is now a full-fledged candidate
Off governor, and an effort is being made
to insure the endorsement of his candidacy
by Northern Indiana, which heretofore,
with few exceptions, has been unrecog-
niZed by state conventions. 1t is believed
that governor Matthews is not fayorably
to the elevation of Nye. There is talk
of a Voorhees-Turnie-Nye alliance.

SAVED By A MIRACLE.


The discrepancy between the number de-
posed and the Commissioners original es-
innate is accounted for by the fact that
forty-nine Pension Office clerks have been
for some time detailed for duty in other bu-
reaus, and this year Will be permanently
transferred to the other rolls, having been
provided for in the appropriations for the
Y bureaus in which they have been serving.
| III addition there We're fourteen vacancies
| that have not been filled and seven have
| resigned since the estimate was submitted.
| The remainder OF the clerical force may,
| therefore, breathe freely once more, since
| it is pretty certain that the cyclone has
| finished its course.
| 1t is understood that Commissioner
| Lochren made the selections for the sacrifice
| himself having consulted neither OK his
| deputies nor chiefs of divisions. The
record of the clerks passed before him and
| he has for several months past been ma king
/ his observations, not only as TO efficiency
! but with regard TO collateral circumstances,
| and having completed his list he gave in
| strucuons yesterday aud the ak fell. All
| uf the dismissed clerks Were given leave OF
absence for the hnexpired term.
1t is given opt that the decap.tations
were made Principally upon the efficiency
records, but this is not conceded by all.
| 1t is claimed that some clerks We're put out
! whose standing as to efficiency was among
| the highest, and that in these cases there
| must have beenfcharges filed upon which
! the Commissioners based his action.
POLITICS CUT NO FIGURE.
What these charges may have been,
or whether filed or not, nobody but the
Commissioner seems to know. That poll
tics cut no figure is alleged, and the fact is
cited that a number OF Democrats kept
the deposed Republicans company.
The list embraces representatives of
both sexes and those of all ages, and was
not restricted to color. One man named
old and confirmed invalid. w. t Ford,
an employe OF the mail division, is also an
/ old clerk. and is said to have been in Gov

Among the ex-soldiers who fell by the

Dave Bricker was called as a witness
and testified that he was shown the
note by DIR. Weyerhorst on the same
day on which 1t was executed. An OBJ
lection was made to the testimony and
the matter will be argued Monday
morning. to which time the case was
adjourned.
The defense claims to have some SEN
sational testimony and yesterday aft
ernoon secured an order from the court
for Gordon Sherman, who is serving
a term in the penitentiary, and he will
be brought up as a witness. II Is al
legged that he knows something about
the note and offered to tell about II be-
fore he was sent to the pen. The action
OF the defense was a surprise to the
plaintiffs. as they had not been aware
OF the new provision OF the code by
which felon is made a competent
witness. Section 1912 of the penal
codes says: "A person convicted of
any offense is Notwithstanding a COM
