THE AppoRTIoxMENr DECISION.

The decision Of the Supreme Court in
the latest suit affecting the validity of
apportionment acts Is one of the most
previous decision has gone deeper into
fundamental principles or shown clearer
appreciation of the true principles OF
popular government.
When the last suit was brought the
apportionment acts of 1879, 1891, 1898 and
1895 had already been held unconstitu-
tional by decisions Of the Supreme Court.
There remained only the act of 1885 and
those enacted prior to 1879 to be passed
upon. This suit attacked all of them.
but as it's progress developed that all
the acts preceding that OF 1879 were void
under the fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States. there
remained only the &C. OF 1886 to be con-
sidered. The present decision leaves this
act in force, and consequently the only
pne under which an election can be held.
The court does not pronounce the act of
zSS5 constitutional, as indeed 1t could not

that the plaintiff I'm the court below and

injunction TO put an end to the govern

and his property" The court holds that
this right does not exist. This conclusion
Is reached, after discussion OF funda-
mental principles which shows that the
court saw very clearly the sea of polit-
ical perils which lay beyond the over
throw OF the act of 1885. When the court
was brought face TO face with the ques-
ton OF declaring the State government
at an end and inaugurating political

The Fort Wayne Gazette claims to
have reliable information of a secret
meeting recently held in that city by a
few persons to perfect a plan for bleed
ing" two prominent Republican candi-
dates for United States Senator under
the pretense of controlling legislative
votes. The Gazette says the little ring
that is engineering the scheme is COM
posed OF persons living in different parts
of the State, whose names will not now

Is vague and seems incredible. but If it
really has the names OF the persons en-

such cases the most effective remedy is

Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State
committee, was greatly surprised when he

THE COURTS DECISION.
Opinion by McCnbe COncurred In by
Howard and Hackney.

The case is that brought by DR.. Brayton to
enjoin County Clerk Fesler and the election
officers OF Marion county from proceeding
under the act of 1885. Judge McCabes opin-
ion, which was voted the prevailing opinion
of the court, is as follows:
The appellee sued the appellants in the Su-
perior Court TO enjoin them from proceed
ing to hold the election in November for
members of the next General Assembly I'M
der the provisions Of the app0rtionment act

the appellants. being the clerk of the Circuit
Court, the auditor and the sheriff OF Marion
county, Indiana, were threatening to give
notice and proceed 70 election under said
act, which act, Ii was alleged. is uncon-
stitutional for the same reasons that the

The Other Judges Saw Prospects of
to Call a Special Session.
JUDGE JORDAN'S OPINION
SAME CONCLUSION REACHED BY
DIFFERENT REASONING.
Gov. Matthews Discusses the Courts
DecfsfOn-Mr. GOwdy Was Much
SaTprised-The NOblesville Suit.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down its decision in the apportionment case,
and the decision is such as to stor all fur
Their litigation upon the subject and settle the
fact that the next election will be held
under the law of 1885. Four members of
the bench, Justices McCabe, Hackney, How
ard Democrats) and Jordan (Republcan)
concur in the conclusion. Judge Monks Gre
publcan) Gissents to both the reasoning and
conclusion. Judge Jordan writes separate
concurring opinion, reaching the conclusion
by different course Of reasoning. The pre-
vailing opinion WHICH stands as the decision
of the court, is written by Justice McCabe
and concurred in entirely by Justices How
ard and Hackney. Briefly stated, Justice
McCabe's opinion holds:
First-That the appellee, seeking to over
throw the act of 1885, has a questionable
standing in court, appealing on the grounds
of equity, inasmuch as the act has been
thus long accepted without question and
three successive Legislatures were elected
under it.
Second-That 1t Is admitted that the act
of 1885 is the only apportionment law upon
the statute books under which Legislature
could possibly be elected, since the constitu-
tional amendment of 1881 wiped out all those
previous to 1878, which were based upon the
enumeration of whites alone and the act of
1879 and those of 1891, 1929 and 1895 have been
overthrown by this court. The preliminary
question that faces the court. before it can
properly enter upon an investigation of the
constitutionality of the act of 1885, is the
possible consequence of its overthrow. The
court is able to conceive that the Governor
might fail to call the Legislature in time
to enact a new law before the November
election and that the Legislature. If thus
called, might fail to pass a valid act, IN
which case the result of the overthrow of
the act would be to put an end to the legis-
lative branch of the State government and
in consequence the other two departments
must soon die.
The conclusion reached reverses the lower
court with instruction TO sustain the demur-
rer of the defendant. Fesler. which set up
the plea of insufficient cause of action. The
opinions in full are given below.
In his concurring opinion Judge Jordan
holds that the appellee has grounds to
demand equity of the court after having
slept so long upon his rights, and maintains
that the act has been so long accepted that
he is estopped from attacking it.
Judge Monks, in his dissenting opinion,
holds that the judgment OF the lower court
| should be affirmed The court he declares,
| has no right to take 1t for granted that
| either the executive or legislative branch
| of the government will fail to do its duty
