CUNSJPlJtlATUKS~~UN THE RUN.

The Organ of tlie People's Tarty on Partisan Courts—Aildit l«»al Cbargeg Made Against tlie Kevolut loulsts.

The American Non-Conformist has struck another heavy blow at the Republican conspiracy to revolutionize the government through a partisan court. After paying Judge Elliott a glowing tribute for his non-partisan record, The Non-Conformist castigates the other judges severely for having done what has never been done before—excused their conduct through interviews—a partisan newspaper, The Indianapolis Journal. The Indianapolis News, owned in pari by C. W. Fairbanks, the millionaire Republican candidate for United States senator, at first tried to redicnle the charges of The Non-Conformist by asserting that it was an obscure sheet, but when it was proven that The Nonconformist circulation was double that of The News, the Republican began to realize that something should be done to meet the arguments of the People's party organ, and the state committee ordered the interviews with tho judges of the supreme court to be published in The Journal. Judge Elliott maintained his reputation by declining to be interviewed. "Who Kxi'tiseth Himself, Accuseth Himself.-

The Non-Conformist continues: A celebrated English judge was once accused of questionable conduct and tlie attacks became so general that he was finally induced to "make a statement" in his defense, something like our modern interview. Commenting on this another famous English judge, noted for his integrity, remarked: "A judge who excuseth himself, accusetli himself." That observation fits this case exactly. The judges who attempt to excuse themselves through the columns of a partisan sheet, really accuse themselves. If their integrity was assaulted in such a way as to be deemed worthy of notice, they should have noticed it in a far different way. They should have proceeded as judges, by summoning the accusers before them to answer for contempt of court. The law provides their remedy as well as their vindication, and the former is as summary as the latter is complete.

Several Rotten Kgg* in the Howl. The "Non-Conformist therefore takes great pleasure in acquitting Judge Elliott. It is really unnecessary to state to those who know him that he is incapable of a dishonorable action. If all the members of the state court were equally conscious of the honor that befits a judge, this discussion would not be in progress. Coming back to the point of the controversy. The Non-Conformist avers that several of the judges, whose denials are so loudly published, are guilty as charged in the original indictment. Our charge is this: That less than eight weeks ago certain judges of the supreme court met in conference with leaders of the Republican party to discuss political matters that among other subjects discussed -*-as the proposed suit to test the gerrymander. This conference took place in a room at the

Dennison hotel, and some fifteen or more persons were present. Among the number was Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican state central committee. All the members of the committee were not present. The meeting did not take place in the regular committee room. It was attended only by choice spirits of the Republican party—members of the "inner circle.'' as it were. Even the United States court wits represented by a disquislied member. We derive our information from one who was present at the meeting. If this is not sufficiently specific, we will try to make it more so. The Journal-shall be satisfied that the charge is not "obscure," even if it thinks the source from which it emanates is of that character. iiiuidy and Otliors.

Judge Olds, in an interview quoted above, is nov content with giving tin supreme court a bill of health. He goc out of the way to whitewash the nisi prius judges also, stating that his familiarity with the Indiana judiciary qualifies him to pronounce it pure am'l above reproach. This is a somewhat risky statement to make in view of past, occurrences, but especially with details of the present controversy staring tlie public in the face. Does Judge Olds regard the method of bringing the gerrymander suit a proper and dignified proceeding':' Does Judge Bundv appear to him as such a model of a nisi-prius judge as to justify his sweeping eulogy? If so, we are constrained to say that hi? ideal is not high nor his conclusions sue)as can generally be accepted. The case before Bundy, though one involving the highest rights of the state and the most vital consequences to the whole people, was partisan in its inception as well as its progress so far, and if pressed to its logical termination must be partisan in its conclusion. It is not only partisan but practically ex-parte. By that we mean that only one party appears either in the bringing or the hearing. All the papers in the case were prepared here in

Indianapolis, with a typewriter. This includes even the order of the court for an alternative writ of mandate. All the judge had to do or was expected to do, was to sign his name. There was, indeed, a sham show made of having the other side represented in court. This went to the appointment, of a lawyer to appear fur the dtifen.se. And whom, will it be suppi.-sed, was selected for this duty? None other than ex-Judge Mel lett, who is the father-in-law of Judge Bundy, lives in the same house and eats at the same table. The extent of his duties, as appears from the record, consisted in filing a general demurrer to the complaint which in due time his son-in-law will proceed to overrule. The case therefore stands thus: It was brought in the interests of the Republican party, before a Republican judge, by Republican attorneys, with a sham

Republican defense. Everything in and about the case smells of partisanism, and a very low grade of partisanism. The pleadings were not only cut.-and

dried, but the decision was ready-made. clure & Graham. Tlia jijue £w well as tho nature of t.be

final judgment was agreed on

rauce. This judge, like a "swift witness," knew beforehand what he waa going to say. He had been "seen" as well as coached. Last week one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs was openly expressing his disgust and disappointment because Bundy had not sent him his decision as promptly as expected. The arrangement was that it should be here before the supreme court adjourned, so that all the preliminary steps in that court might be taken. But the gans was somewhat abashed, not to sa\ frightened, at the publicity given then proceedings. Bundy hesitated and failed to come to time. The supreme court has adjourned until Oct. 4 without having a chance to act 011 Bundv's cookedup record. What will be the result of this delay remains to be seen. The conspirators may go to the extent of summoning a special session. This, however, is not likely and after reassembling the time for effective action will be short. The "obscure" exposure of The Non-Oenforinist greatly embarrassed the crowd and seems to have sadly "obstructed the course of justice" from a Republican standpoint. The people are now watching matters so closely that no step can be taken without sharp scrutiny and stinging criticism. Perhaps the game has been flushed before the hunter was ready. Perhaps the great gerrymander case will prove one of premature accouchinent, necessitating a certificate from the political doctors of "died-a-borning." To still quote medical language, if it turns out to be an instance of "breech presentation" it will not be the first time that partisan tricksters have appeared before the public wrongend foremost.

For the first time in the history of Indiana, the people are threatened with the possibility of being represented in the United States senate by a millionaire. 5

Indiana can boast of the proud distinction of being the only northern state that never has been represented in the United States senate by a millionaire. If the Republicans carry the legislature she will boast 110 more for the man who makes a profession of betting 011 elections, can safely offer to bet two to one that if the Republicans cany the next legislature, Charles W. Fairbanks, the millionaire railroad lawyer and speculator of Indianapolis, will succeed Senator Turpie in the United States senate. Mr. Fairbanks is reported to bo the richest man in the state, wealth acquired within the short period of twelve years by speculating 011 Wall street. And strange to say, he relies upon tho farmers to elevate him to the millionariea' club— the United States senate. He believes that tho People's party will draw from the Democratic party threo votes to 011s from the Republican party and thereby allow the Republicans to carry the state.

Mr. Fairbanks owns a railroad and is largely interested in others. Ho owns the Indianapolis News which is now engaged in bulldozing tho supreme court into revolutionizing the state government by declaring the apportionment unconstitutional. He a- stockholder in'tlie Elwood tin plate works which has been built by taxing 611,000,000 consumers. He is interested in other corporations and is a corporation man throughout. His only hope of success is through Democrats who vote the People's party ticket. A vote for the People's party candidate for the legislature is equal to half a vote for Millionaire Fairbanks for the United States senate.
