THE JUDGESHIP.

A Scott Man Thinks Nevitt Will be Appointed to the Office.

The Petitions Circulated For tlie Different Candidates.

Mr. Nov it's Coarse furins the Contest—Humors of the Fight —a Correction.

"What about the judgeship?" asked an Express reporter, yesterday, of Thomas A. Foley, the Wall street attorney, who had just returned from a visit to the state capital in the interests of Judge H. D. Scott. "What do you want to know about it?" was the reply. "Anything that will be of interest," said the reporter. "What do you think of Judge Scott's chances?" "I've weakened on Mr. Scott, thrown up both hands, as it were. If we can't beat Nevitt between now and to-mor-row morning, when the appointment is to be made, then he's the lucky man." "Did you see the Governor personally?" "I did. He argued that the bar needed a young man for judge." "Was his argument for a young man in general, or was it for Mr. Nevitt, personally," asked the reporter. "For Mr. Nevitt, personally. Judge Scott had a petition signed by over fifty members of the bar, and the governor went so far as to single out certain of the signers, who he said did not have one case in the courts in six months. He asked why the remonstrance against Nevitt's appointment had been signed, and when I told him he went into an argument to showthat the signers could have no such reason. He acted as if he had his mind fully made up in Nevitt's favor. I have thought all along that Judge Scott would be the successful candidate, but when I saw the governor's attitude on the matter, I immediately weakened and came home. As I said before, if Nevitt isn't beaten before morning, he will get the appointment. There is a big delegation over there working for Scott, and it may be possible that he will win, but I have my doubts of his success."

The Fetitions.

The petitions circulated on Thursday for Judge Scott, and for H. C. Nevitt, were taken over to Indianapolis yesterday by their respective adherents. The former's petition had 1,001 signers, among them a number of business men, and also the faculty of the Normal school.

Previous to the presentation of this petition Mr. Nevitt petitions were the more numerously signed. The last petition of the latter gentleman had over six hundred signers, it is claimed. A great deal of fault is found with the governor for delaying the appointment until the very last day, there being no sufficient reason for such a course.

Quite a party went over to Indianapolis yesterday to work tor the different candidates, among them being Hod Pugh, G. W. Faris, Ed. Pugh, L. D. Thomas, Dave Henry, John G. Williams, J. D. Early, Chas. Thompson, Harry Donliam, John E. Lamb, Sant Davis and J. F. Regan. These, added to the party already there, it can be relied upon, made things lively around the gubernatorial ears last night.

Mr. Nevitt's Course.

"During the entire contest for the judgeship," said H. C. Nevitt to an Express reporter recently, "I have not seen the governor personally, nor have I communicated with him by letter. All that has been said or done in my favor has been by my friends, The story is all nonsense that any influence was being brought to bear by members of the governor's family. I suppose it grew out of the fact that I attended, by special invitation of the governor, tne reception given by him to the members of the legislature a short time the opening of the session. I was introduced to the governor's daughter, and conversed with her a few minutes, and that was the first and last time that I met her."

Humors of the Fight.

It is reported that a prominent member of the bar was in Indianapolis a few days ago, and the governor sent for him to talk about the judgeship matter. The legal gentleman at the close of the governor's inquiries, said that he would like to know something about the way the matter was to end. The governor replied that he could say nothing about it, tvhereupon the attorney said that "he'd known the governor since '45, but that if he didn't want to tell him anything about it, blank, blank him, he could go to blank!"

Another member of the bar, a Democrat, was told by the governor that he (Porter) wanted to appoint the very best man for the place. The m. o. b. replied that in that case all he could do would be to appoint a Democrat.

A Correction.

Editor of the Express. SIR—Your yesterday morning's report of the judgeship contest contained a sentence to the effect that the nail works men were in favor of the appointment of H. D. Scott for judge. Wc desire to correct the error, and state to the public that such is not true. AVhile we entertain no ill feelings towards our distinguished fellowcitizen, Judge Scott, yet we are unanimous for the appointment of H. C. Nevitt, to whose petition we all, with one or two exceptions, affixed our signatures.

N.UI, WORKS EMPLOYES.

Under a Street Car.

Herman Martin, the five year old son of Ross Martin, superintendent of the street car line, while trying to board a street car at Sixth and Main streets yesterday afternoon, missed his footing, fell under the car and was dragged several feet. lie was carried into Buntin & Armstrong's drug store, and Drs. Swaft'ord and Roberts examined his left leg, which it was thought to have been run over by the wheels of the car. It was found to be severely bruised, but not seriously, and lie was removed to his home at No. S17J Main street. Had the wheel run over the leg it would have been crushed or perhaps taken off, and it is thought he was caught be the brakeshoe, instead of being run over. Quite a crowd was attracted by the mishap.

A Probable Case of Small Pox. A vnung colored man was removed to the pest house yesterday morning, with a breaking out similar to small pox. The pest bouse has been con-

verted into a hospital, and there being no other place for small pox patients, a tent was erected in the old gravel pit just east of the pest house building, and the patient placed in charge of George Plannet, the veteran nurse. The young man came here from Cincinnati, and was engaged yesterday morning in washing a buggy for P. Bowsher, the commission map, and wlien done complained of feeling unwell. He was reported to the board of health, and at their direction removed to an isolated place. He has a bicaking out, bat if it should prove smallpox it is not far enough advanced to communicate the disease-to anyone else. It is probable that he has the smallpox, but there is no assurance of this. He will receive the best of care and attention.
