Governor Matthews was seen by a Jour-
nal reported at HAS o'clock last night at
lis home. He had just returned from su-
perintending the burning of the ballots at
the furnace in the courthouse. He was
comfortably ensconced in an arm chair,
smoking a long-stemmed pipe of consola-
ton. The Governor was very reticent in
expressing an opinion regarding the cleo
ton. II ave nothing whatever to say"
said he. Il am still confident of Indiana,
though the reports that are coming in are
not very encouraging"
'How do you feel regarding the reports
received?"
IF the reports are true and Mckinley
is elected, / shall be very much surprised
as a great number of other people will be.
but i don't care 10 say anything further
regarding that"
What do you think of the landslide in
the East?"
The reports are not authentic as yet,
and j have nothing TO say"
d you still think Bryan's chances for
election are good?'
Yes" replied the Governor. but not en-
phatically. and he had nothing further to
say.

CRITICISES THE COURT.
Acknowledgement Ketcham's Attack
ON Supreme Bench.

The Attorney-general filed with the Governor
yesterday his annual report. In reviewing the
litigation In which the State has been interested
during the year. Mr.. Ketcham discussed at some
length the decisions OF the Supreme Court in the
superintendent litigation. He commends the de-
eision declaring the acts OF 1898 and 1895 invalid
and c~riticises the court with some severity on
the ground that II refused 20 apply its own
reason TO the acts OF 1885. In this connection he
says: 1T would seem that this decision was
To some extent a recession from the highest posi-
tion by the court in the Parker and Denny cases.
An alleged law that is I'm conformation of the
Constitution Is no law. but were a waste Of
paper. IL confers no right. imposes no duties
and affords no protection. Notwithstanding the
high character Of the court that rendered the
opinion ard the high personnel OF the Judges
composing that court. IL would seem that the
scope and force or that decision might be briefly
but fairly summarized as saying that the judicial
department OF a government would refuse &c
comply with the duties imposed upon IL by the
Constitution. II II had just or reasonable cause
60 suppose that the executive department would
IN a proper case fail To perform its duty
imposed upon IL. that the legislative department
might not comply with the duties and obligations
imposed upon IT."

THE COUNTY ORGANIZATION.
Excellent Work of Chairman Youns
and His Committee.

One Of the busiest men in town last night
was Archibald A. Young. chairman of the
Republican county committee. who, In the
campaign just passed, has shown himself
a master hand In organization. Mr.. Young
was engaged in computing returns and
comparing them with his poll book. which
lad been so jealously guarded during the
campaign. The comparison showed that
the poll was enc of the best ever taken in
Marion county, for in cases where the full
vote had been cast the total tailed ex-
actly with the total OF votes shown by
the book. and where there were big gains
over the poll book showing. 1t was seen
there was a large doubtful vote classified
In the precinct in question. MIR. Young
has maintained that the plurality
in Marion county for Mckinley
would be from $500 upwards. and
while some of his friends thought he was
somewhat overconfident, the result justi-
ies his calculations. The county commit
tee has never worked more in harmony nor
with more enthusiasm than this year. Mr..
Young has been given excellent support by
the full county committee, and by his ex-
ecutive committee and with the men who
have TO do with party management and
detail work in the precincts, as well as with
pSOpiS 6ChSidA4y. MI. 1OUDS mas DGen de-
seryedly popular. The business men who
have taken such keen interest in the cleo
ton, have had the utmost confidence In
the chairman and conduct of the compaign.
Il can't say too much OF the support
given me by the committeeman" said Mr..
Young last night. when asked to speak a
few words regarding the result. THE work
has been thoroughly harmonious and the
committeeman ave shown admirable en-
ergy and enthusiasm. We have kept close
tap on the sentiment in each precinct. and
nearly every man i'll the county who was
reported doubtful has been flooded with
sound-money literature and had
never a moment in this county when the
result was in doubt. The committee has
distributed a great quantity of literature.

else there was danger OF the people flock

willing TO hear both sides OF the Question.
