The Nonconformist, state organ of the Peoples Party of Indiana, referring to the revolutionary attempt of the republican state oentral committee, through republican courts and partisan judges to overthrow the laws of the state, some

weeks ago outlined the course to be pursued, and which has been accuratly followed to its present stage, and charged “that oertain judges of the supremo court met in conference with leaders of the republican party to discuss political matters ; that among other subjects discussed was the proposed suit to test the geiryroauder. The conference took place in aroom at the Denison hotil, end some fifteen or more p rsens were present. Among tie number v as Chairman Gowdy of the republican state central committee. All the members of the committee were not piesent. The meeting did not take place in the regular committee room. It was attended only by choice spirits of the republican party—members o. |the "inner circle,’ as it w'ere. Even the U. S. court was represented bj a distingushed mem her. We derive our infoimation from one who was present at the meeting."— This will certainly be regarded as quite specific. After exonerating Judge Elliott from being concerned in the remotest degree with the outrageous partisan conspiracy the Nonconformist refers to an interview of the Journal with Judge Olds, and ‘remarks*

Judge Olds * * * is not content 8 1V1 “8 Die supreme court a bill of health. He goes out of his way to white"a®h.t ®. nisi -P r ius judges also, stating that his familiarity with the Indiana judiciary qualifies him to pronounce it pure and above reproach. This is a somewhat risky statement to make in view of past occurrences, but especially with details of the present oiniroversy staring the public in the face. Does Judge Olds rogaid the method of bringing the gerrymand' r suit a proper and d gnified proceeding? Does Ju gejßundy appear to him as such a model of anisi-pnus judgo as to justify hissweepinf eulogy? If so, we are constrained to say that his ideal is not high nor his conclusions such as can be generally accepted. The case *before Judge 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 ouly partisan but practically ex-parte. By that we moan that only one party appears 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 court for an alternative writ of mandate. All the judge had to do or was eipected to do, was tostgnhis name, lhere was, indeed, a sham show made of having the otheguide represented in court. Tiiis went to the appointment of a lawyer to appear for the defe, se. And whom, will it be supposed, was selected for this duty? None other than ex-Jndge Melle t, who is the father-in-law of J udgp Bundy lives in the same house and eats at the same table. The extent of his duties, as appears i from the record, consisted in filing a general demurrer to the complaint which in due time his son-in law will prol ceed to overrule. JThe ease therefore s.ands thus: It was brought in the interest of the republican party, beforeja republican judge, by republican attornevß, with a sham republican defense. Everything in and about the case smells of purtisanism, and a very lo y grade of parti sanism. The pleadings were not nly cut-aud-dried, but the decision was readymade. The time as well as the nature of the final judgment was agreed on in advance. Thi* judge, like a “swift witness." knew before hand what he was going to say He had been “seen” as well as coached. Last week one of the lawyers for the plaintitts 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 oourt might be taken. But the gang was somewhat abashed, not to say frightened at the publicity given their proceed.ngs! Bundy hesitated and failed to come to time The supreme court has adjourned until Oct. 4 without having a ohance to act on Bundy’sloooked-up record. What will be the rerult of this delay remains to be seen. The conspirator's may go to the extent of summoning a special session. This, however, is not likely and after reassembling the time l or effective action will be short. The “obscure” exposure of the Nonconformist greatly embarrassed ths crowd and seems to have sadly obstructed the course of justice" nom a repubiioan standpoint. The peopis are now watching matters so closely that no step ean be taken without sharp scrutiny and stinßingoriticiam Perhaps the game has been flushed before the hunter was ready. Perhaps the great gerrymander case will prove one of premature accouohement, necessitating a certificate from the political doctors of died-a-borning. ” To still quote medical . D i\ aa^’0 ’ it turn* out to be aninstanoe of breech presentation” it will not be the first time that par’isan tricksters have appeared before the public wrongend foremost.”

The.above certainly gives strong|intimations of what is known concerntng the revolutionary attempt of the Indiana republican state central oommittee to over, turn the laws of the State and the part taken by certain judges of the supreme and lower oourts in the outlining of the proseedings to be followed. We have the fullest confidence that the Democracy will soore an overwhelming triumph at the November election, and that these judges will be relagated to private life. If those judges are guilty, as charged by the Nonconformist, they should be impeaobed without reference to proximity of expiration of their terms of office.— The people submitted to the theft of the presidential office for Hayes by eight judges who started out on established rules ana atrogat ed them in the interest of their scheme to thwart the expressed will of the people. In this state the people have had presented to them the humiliating spectaole of a federal judge presenting a second charge to the grand jury of his court to save a charged criminal who would have been indicted under the first They have seen, too. this same judge promoted, by the beneficiary of the crime committed. An example made of that class who defy the law, ana think they are teyond its roach, may have a wholsume influence upon the body politic.

Tho increase of local taxes by republican local officials in Indiana last year was $1,623,013.30. The only reason for putting this immense burden on the people was to make them believe the state tixlgw did it. Can the people be deceived by this s allow trick? When Jadge Johnston alluded to the lax law, brother Marshall’s face assumed the look of desqair. 0
