Indianapolis. Jan 6.-Much surprise Is being
expressed here tonight over the message Of

legislature of 1897 by the Republican majority
and over the protests Of the Democrats.
There are many intimatlons tonight from
Republicans that the Governor has spoken
extravagantly. that the evil is not as bad as
he has painted it, and that he is sore over his
enforced withdrawal from the race for United
States Senator. and is getting even by indicting
his party for enacting the present law for the
protection Of the suffrage The Governor says:
The time has come for the application Of dras-
tic remedial measures to the plague of corrup-
ton which is fastening itself upon our politics
We have in Indiana advanced legislation for the
protection of the purity Of the ballot but the

little more than 5000 votes there were in the

assessment from candidates and otherwise was
spent by the contending political parties IN the
effort 20 control the county.
Instances have come to my attention during
the last few weeks where, In contests for town
ship trustees, votes have brought $25 and $50
each. Our present need is legislation framed
in the light of a clearer conception Of the enor-
NIFTY Of the offence involved in the purchase or
sale Of a vote.
Our present statute is farcical as it places no
penalty on the vote buyer. l believe considera-

Governor says:

To Reproduce Custer Massacre.

Portland. Ore, Aug. There have
been spectacles and spectacles. but 1t
is reserved for the management OF the
Lewis and Clark exposition to create.
perhaps. the most startling and inter.
esting of ala reproduction Of the
wiping out of Clusters band Of United
States regulars ut the fight on the
Little Big Horn river. in the summer
of 1876. This event. which has gone
down into history as one OF the great
tragedies of warfare, will be given a
setting as realistic as 1t is possible to
make by employing real Indians and
real soldiers to perform the sham bat
tie tactics necessary.
A band of 200 or more Umatilla In.
dians from the government reserva-
tion in Oregon will take the place Of
the bloodthirsty Sioux who killed Gen.
eral Custer and troopers. For Custer
and his men the soldiers on the
grounds will answer. The fight will
take place on exposed ground in the
exposition area. where 1t may be wit
messed by all those in attendance Au.
gust 10th. The Indians will press
closer and closer until the last man
falls and the tragedy Is complete.
Though no scalping will be done. as
in the real massacre. the yells of the
Indians and the cracking of their
rifles will serve to make the scene
thoroughly realistic.
