To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The legislative figuring In to-day's issue
Is interesting and instructive. 1t is in
structive in its showing of Democratic gall
in the claims made by Myron King ct al. 1
have taken the vote of 1894, and a little fgur-
ing although by one who is neither a CEN
trail committee chairman nor a Governors
private secretary shows that under the 1885
Democratic gerrymander the vote on Secre-
tary of State in 1894 gave the Republicans
twenty-three senatorial districts and the
Democrats two. Should the vote on Sena-
tors this year be the same (and why should
1t be worse for us than in 1S94D we would
have, with the nineteen hold-over Republican
Senators, forty-two and the Democrats
would have eight Senators. A like vote
would elect seventy-four Republicans and
twenty-six members of the lower house, CIV
ing the Republicans 116 to 81. Granting that
we may not do 50 well as in 1885,, though
there is strong reason FOUNDED on the deadly
feud in the Democratic party on the money
question: to believe that we ought TO do bet
ter, does 1t not require a good deal of~cheek
for a Democratic statesman to claim the
next Legislature? j. B. LEWIS.

Punctures are curious things; some people

while others seem 10 pick up ali the nails,
thorns and other pointed objects which are
lying about. Punctures might be avoided by
a very simple device, called a nail catcher,
of string, wire or catgut, tied across the
front forks and the upper. back stays
just above the tire. but not quite
touching IL. When a nail or other OBJ
ject is picked up by the tire If 1t does not at

catcher at once picks it out before any mis-

great majority of punctures may be pre-
Vented by this simple means.

Refuse to Surrender Mendoza.

NEW YORK, May ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Williams has telegraphed from Havana,
Cuba, that the authorities there refuse to
deliver for extradition to this country Ma
riel Martin, alias Gonzalez Mendoza, who
is wanted here on the charge of swindling

means of a forged draft.
A dispatch from Washington says: 1t Is
learned at the State Department that the
report of the refusal of the Spanish author
tiles to extradite Mendoza, or Martin, is an
error arising out of the fact that Consul
general Williams wired that the man was
under arrest not on the charges made
against him by the United States, but for
other causes. the nature of which he did
not know. The State Department papers
asking for his extradition have not yet

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 1S.-The Re-
publicans were unsuccessful In a choice and
Russell was the nominee Of the Democrats
of Harvard In the bipartisan national mock
convention held in the Fogg Art Museum
this evening. Nearly every State in the
Union was represented. each being given a

members it sends to, the House OF Repre-
sentatives. 1t was an exceedingly stormy,
though thoroughly good-natured. meeting.
Every point in the platform. each nominate
ing speech was received with the most vo-
ciferous applause and cheering. and 1t was
midnight when the convention came to a
close.
The Republican resolutions demand a sin
gle gold standard, upholding the principles
of protection, restriction of immigration on
an education basis. and the furtherance of
civil service reform; IL, in turn, denounced
free silver, the present Cuban policy and all
sectar!an preferences.
HI. Friedburg, of Kansas, who has been
the prime mover in the organization of the
convention, made the opening speech and
introduced j. n. Perkins. of New Hamp-
shirt. as permanent chairman. Neither

productive of any startling statements or
novel ideas. The Democratic platform de-

and a most faithful observance of the prin-
ciples of civil-service reform, and denounced
the free coinage of silver and the a. p. A.
The Democrats nominated Carlisle. Bayard

stated that he had seen a notice of the or

that the Jacksonville players are anxious
to meet the savannahians on the grid

that all the necessary arrangements and
terms of the contest might be adjusted

early evening interfered with the attend

ers was out. Undoubtedly there is plenty
Of good material in Savannah and the
fellows who were on the field proved it.
Capt. Saussy will be able to select a good
team, and only the difficulty of getting the
men together for practice can possibly pre-
vent the formation of an eleven that will
be able to cope with any in the south,
whether of an association or a college.
There are a number of players here who
have had all the experience that four
years of college playing affords and, in
one or two instances, men of standing in
the foot ball world who have captained
some of the finest school elevens in the
country.
Mr.. Herbert Stubs, the celebrated full
back and captain of last years University
of Georgia team, is said to be about to
make Savannah his home. His assist
ance will be invaluable to the team.
The foot ball men say the prospects for
a splendid team this year are bright.
There is stuff here that, If it is on the
field for practice enough, will play win

Maj. p. w. Meldrim. who represented
McNally, made brief argument He
said that there was no evidence to con-

would be an injustice to hold man on
mere suspicion, especially when no trial
could be had until January, which would
compel the prisoner to remain in Jail I'M

bail to be given for such an ofense.
After the charge had been dismissed,
Maj. Meldrim complmented the police on
the diligent manner in which they had
followed up the case. Under the circum-
stances, he attached no blame to them for
the arrest. The prisoners manner of life
and trifling habits were alone RESPONSE

was placed. Instead of roaming the
streets at night he should have been at
home in bed.
Recorder Wilson, in dismissing McNal-

right to believe that the circumstancial
evidence would be enlarged upon when
