HAMILTON Ind, Sept. 1s.-In an ad-
dress at the reunion of the Thirtieth In
diana regiment, Governor Hanley, the prin-
cipal speaker, made public his reasons for
his action in the case OF David f. Sher-
rick, ex-auditor of state, whose resigna-
tion was forced by the governor. Facts
and figures were used to show what be-
came of the money belonging to the state
that was lost by David e. Sherrick audi
tor Of state and common gambler"
The governor charged that $4,000 of the
statc's money went by check into the
hands of the gentleman who was then op-
Grating the Casino" at French Lick. The
governor then enumerated list of what he
calls wild cat" securities. aggregating
face value Of $1,000. into which the states
money went. Following this he charged
that Sherricks continued absence from the
sessions Of the state board of tax COM
missions" was ccasioned by drinking
bouts and midnight carousals around the
gaming table from which he could not re-
cover in time to meet with the commits

Distributes Railway Passes.
Governor Hanley charged that sherrick, at
the time the Monon railroad came up for
assessment. argued that the assessment be
allowed to remain at S1s,OOO because, in
that case a friend OF his TO whom he was
under great obligation personally could get
permanent employment with the company

tion did not come, but some of his friends

LINCOLN, Sept 1s.-(Special Telegram.)-
with the date OF the popuist and demo-
cratic state conventions only few hours
OF not enough delegates have reached tho
city to make a respectable conference
committee" Probably never before in tho
history Of either party was the might be-
fore" so quiet and did the advance guard
have so completely the aspect Of the cold
grey dawn Of the morning after"
The whole crowd could be safely slowed
on the running board Of a motor car and
the worst OF 1t Is. most of them think they
are an indication OF what the convention
attendance will be. In fact n majority OF
those here have come on court business.
It is freely predicted that the convention
will follow the lead Of the Lancaster county
convention and nominate candidates who
are absent. Only the names OF former
Commissioner Hastings OF Wilber and
Judge Good Of Wahoo have been mentioned
tonight for supreme Judge though large
majority of the small number of delegates
have contented themselves with saying that
any good democrat will do. So small was
the crowd that the democratic headquarters
at the Royal hotel were not unlocked.
POpuIists Arc Shy.
Chairman Weber and Secretary Farris Of
the populist state committee constitute the
majority Of the populists present and to
keep things moving Mr.. Weber called A
mass meeting OF the Lancaster populists
this evening In front of the Royal hotel,
which he and Secretary Farris and Mike
Harrington only attended, and named a
delegation to represent Lancaster county in
the convention tomorrow.
