DEMOCRATIC EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION The annual meeting of the Democratic State Editorial association will be held in the Hendricks club room, Indianapolis, on Thursday, Jan. 31, beginning at 11 o'clock. The business of the meeting will be the election of officers for 1SS9 and the discussion of subjects calculated to strengthen the democratic party and fortify its press in Indiana. It is hoped that every democratic editor in the etate will be present at this meeting. J. 0. Henderson, Kokomo Dispatch, First Vice President. Royal E. Fcbcell, Yincennes Sun, Secretary. A Judicial Outrage. If there is an honest man left in the republican party of Indiana, the scandalous performance of Judge Woods, of the federal court, Tuef-dry must cause him to hang his head in humiliation and shame. The spcctacie of a jud?e deliberately and unblushingly prostituting his office to the eervice of a notorious scoundrel in jeopardy of the law is a painful and shocking one under any form of government and in any stage of civilization. But it is more painful and more shocking in this republic, perhaps, than in any other country on the earth; because in our 6cheme of government the judiciary occupies a higher position, tills a larger field, is clothed with greater authority and is regarded by the people with more respect and reverence than .under any other government. ,It is nothing les3 than a public calamity that any Americm judge and especially one filling so high a post in the judicial eervice as William A. WooDS--should do any act that would tend to weaken the popular respect for the bench, upon which, in the opinion of the wisest publicists of this country and Europe, the 6afety of our institutions so largely depends. It was such an act that William A. Woods committed Tuesday, under circumstances which preclude the possibility of putting aa innocent construction upon it, and which Dresent him to the world in the character of an ally of criminals, a defender of crime and a wanton and wicked perverterof the instrumentalities of justice to the ßervice of knaves and villains. We print elsewhere a very full history of the conspiracy to save a notorious malefactor from punishment for his misdeeds which culminated Tuesday in an infamous deliverance from the bench. The name of this malefactor is William Wade Dcdley, and his crime was the composition and circulation of a letter giving detailed instructions for the debauchment of the , electors of the state of Indiana. The publication of this damnable letter shocked the moral eense of the country, and evoked a loud demand for the summary punishment of the author. The proof of authorship was promptly supplied by the confession of the guilty man himself; and when, in due course, the federal grand jury for the district of Indiana assembled in this city, honest men everywhere looked to that body with confidence for such action, and that speedily, as the law and the facta warranted. Fortunately, the law was ample to cover Dudley's offense. It made the aiding, abetting, ad vising and counseling of bribery a felony; and Judge Woods, as in duty bound, bo instructed the grand jury. In his charge ho said, among other things of like import: "The latter clause of the section makes "any one guilty who counsels bribery um This clause makes it an offense for "any one to advise another to attempt to com"mU any of the offenses named among "them is the buying of votes "in this section, so that while "it is not a crime to make the attempt, uit ü a crime fo adtite another to make the "attempt. If A attempts to bribe B, that "is no offense under this statute ; but if A 'advises B to attempt to bribe C, then the "one who commerult or gives this advice it an "offender under this law; and i will say "THAT THERE 19 SOM WISDOM IN THIS PKO"yision." The law citedunder this construction

as it is the only construction it is susceptible of, if language has any meaning fits Dcdley's case as exactly as if it had been made for it. Judge Woods declared, in concluding his charge, that his instructions "covered all the charges be had heard "brought against anybody or that are "likely to be brought against anybody," and he added: "If you " have "heard, as I have, charges publicly brought in our prints and elsewhere "against any citizen of his having offended "under these statutory laws we have considered regulating an election, it is your "duty to take cognizance of the charges "brought against him, investigate the evidence of guilt that stands against him, "and fearlessly render your indictment "without regard to the political party to "which he may belong, or the official position he may hold or may have held when "he committed such offense." Under this charge all that was necessary for the grand jury to ascertain was that Dcdley had written the manual for votebuyers and sent it to some person in Indiana, to make the return of an indictment against him obligatory. An investigation was at once begun ; witnesses were summoned from various parta of Indiana and from other states; and the evidence of Dudley's guilt, much of which is familiar to the entire public, was secured. While the investigation was in full tide Judge Woods suddenly sent the jury home for a week, ostensibly to enable him to held a session of his court at Fort Wayne. The session wa3 held, lasting only an hour and forty minutes by the watch, but Dudley got the benefit of a week's delay. When the jury reassembled, the investigation was resumed, and was continued until the adjournment for the holiday recess. Just before taking the recess the jury requested Judge Woods to instruct them as to whether it was necessary, in order to indict a person for sending a letter advising bribery, that the name of the person to whom such letter was sent should be known. The judge declined, at the time, to enlighten them upon that point; but yesterday, under the pretense of answering the inquiry he gave the jury supplemental instructions in direct conflict with his original instructions, and of such a nature as to make Dudley's indictment practically impossible. In November he told them very plainly that advising an attempt to commit bribery was a crime ; yesterday he told them that advising an attempt to commit bribery was not a crime. Without this supplemental instruction the jury was bound to indict Dudley; and it came just in the "nick of time" to save that precious rascal. It will be seen that Judge Woods deliberately stultified himself; that he ate his own words, and put himself in an attitude which no judge having any regard for the dignity of his office, for the traditions and associations that cluster around the bench, and for his oath to justly and honestly administer the law, would be willing to occupy for a moment. It is not necessary to enter into details as to the influences and motives that inspired this unprecedented and most scandalous abuse of judicial power. They are patent to everybody. The intimate personal and political relations which William Wade Dudley occupies to the president-elect of the United States are generally known. Judge Woods, it may not be a3 generally known, is also on intimate and confidential relations, personally and politically, with the president-elect. Dudley's crime placed a stain upon Gen. H arrison's title to the presidential office. His indictment would not only deepen that stain, but it would probably involve revelations that would be most embarrassing to that gentleman, and to many other conspicuous members of his party. Some time since Dudley served notice that his pockets were filled with "dynamite," which would be exploded if he were prosecuted. Matthew Stanley Qcay visited Indianapolis in his interest a few weeks ago. A. E. Bateman, his business partner, was here day before yesterday on a similar errand. The strongest pressure social, personal and political was exerted to save Dudley. The newspaper organ of the president-elect came to his defense. All thev agencies that could be enlisted in his behalf were set in motion. As the probability of his indictment developed into a practical certainty, the pressure was redoubled, and finally, all other expedients having failed, Judge Woods was induced to call the jury before him and tell them that he had misstated the law to them, and that they had no right to indict Dudley unless certain things, not susceptible of proof, could be established. The Sentinel is informed and believes that this action was taken after consultation with and upon the importunities of men as close to Benjamin Harrison as his recent law partners. The occasion is one that calls for the plainest of plain speaking. If our bench fails us, an honest and fearless public press must supply the deficiency, so far aa it is in its power. Weighing our words carefully, and fully prepared to accept all the consequences, we pronounce the course of Judge Woods in this matter a monstrous abuse of his judicial opportunities and a flagrant, scandalous, dishonorable and utterly unprecedented perversion of the machinery of justice to the purposes of knavery; and we believe that it should lead to his impeachment instead of, as it probably will, to his -promotion to the supreme bench of the United States as soon as it is in the power of Benjamin Harrison to reward him in this manner for dragging his judicial robes in the filth of Dudleyism. Stating" and "Interpreting." Dudley's newspaper organ says that in bis first charge to the grand jury Dudley's judge merely "stated" the law, while in the ßecond charge he "interpreted" it. Again: "The first charge gave the jury the law without explaining its legal meaning, while the second charge did the latter." This . ia really delicious. Now will Dudley's newspaper organ kindly explain the difference between merely "stating" the law and "interpreting" it? Also why Dudley's judge failed to "interpret" the law in his first charge, and interpreted it out of existence in the second ; also why he permitted the grand jury to work for weeks in ignorance of the "legal meaning" of the law? While Dudley's organ is trying to explain away the infamy of Dudley's judge it should also "interpret" the following from the latter's first charge to the grand jury: The latter clause of the section malet anyone guilty who couiuclt bribery. XLii

clause makes it an offense for any one to advise another to attempt to commit aoy of the offenses named in this action; so that while it is not a crime to make the attempt, it is a crime to advise anolier to make the attempt. If A attempts to bribe B that is no offense under this statute, but if A advises B to bribe C, then the one who comments or give th advice in an offender iM'ier thit law; AND I WlLL SAY TIIATTHERE IS SOME WISDOM IN THIS PROVISION. If this isn't an interpretation of the law we should like to have Dudley's organ explain what it is. We should also like to have it explain how it is that a judge merely "states" the law when he declares that it makes counseling bribery a felony, while he "interprets" it when he declares that it does not make counseling bribery a felony. We predict that Dudley's organ will not attempt these explanations. It will merely respond with more blackguardism of The Sentinel. The School-Book Ixbby. The school-book trust has a powerful lobby at work in this city to prevent legislation for the protection of the people against its exactions. This lobby is supplied with unlimited funds, which it i3 prepared to Fpend lavishly. Prominent politicians arj3 actively co-operating with it. It has subsidized one newspaper in this town, and i3 trying to subsidize others. Its members are publicly boasting that they can control certain members of the senate and house. The program is to defeat any legislation on the subject ; but it this cannot bo done, a measure, ostensibly in the interest of the people, but actually in the interest of the trust, will be passed, if possible. Wo have trustworthy information that a bill has been drawn by the attorneys for the trust which will be submitted, should occasion arise, in the guise of a reform bill; that it will be supported by friends of the trust in both houses, who will make loud professions of hostility to the combine, and of a desire to promote the interests of the people; that this bill will be made a rallying center for the trust senators and representatives, and used to prevent the passage of any honest bill. It is not the intention to pass this bill unless it becomes necessary: for the school-book trust would prefer, above all things, to leave matters as they are. We desire to 6erve notice, here and now, upon the good people of Indiana, who have been plundered so long by this iniquitous combine, that it behooves them to keep a strict watch upon the course of their representatives and senators in this school-book business. Let every bill that is introduced on the subject be scrutinized closely. Let the people write to their senators and representatives cautioning them against listening to the seductive voice of the school book lobbyist. Immense moneyed interests are at stake in this matter, and the virtue of the lawmakers will be subjected to the severest test. We warn the members of the legislature that their course upon this question will be followed by their constituents closely, and that those who dodge the issue, or in any way fail of their duty in the premises, will be held to a rigid account. A Dangerous Power. The New York HeraUVt criticism upon Judge Woods' recent performance is eminently sound. The Herald point out that Judge Woods usurped the functions of the grand jury when he decided that Dudley had committed no crime, and could not be in dieted. That was aquestion for the grand jury alone to decide. Judge Woods admitted that the legal point was a doubtful one; that Judge Harlan had been very "reluctantly" brought to accept his view of it, and that such eminent lawyers as ex-Senator McDonald and Judge Claypool held a different opinion. He also admitted that their construction of the law was in the interest of public justice, while his was opposed to it. Yet he assumed the responsibility of instructing the jury that the law did not cover Dudley's offense, although he had given it adirectly contrary instruction only a few weeks previous and had permitted it to proceed under that instruction to the end of an important and costly investigation. If he had been an honest judge if he had not been determined to save Dudley from the disgrace of an indictment, rather than to protect the ballot-box and punish crime he would have reserved the question until an indictment had been found, when, as the Herald bslxb, "it could have been thoroughly argued, both sides heard and an appeal taken. It was not," that journal adds, "a question to be disposed of by a single judge before indictment in an ex parte way and without the power of appeal." And finally the Herald says and with great truth and pertinence: If such a power can be legally exercised by one man on the bench there is no check upon or limit to the abuse of which it is capable. Because Judge Woods told the grand jury that advising bribery did not constitute a crime, the Inter Ocean declares that "Dudley comes out of the furnace without so mucli as the smell of fire upon his garments." This is going it even stronger than Judge Woods did in his last charge. For even Dudley's judge made a sufficient concession to public decency to characterize Dudley's act as "bold and reprehensible" and to express the hypocritical opinion that it ought to be indictable if it isn't. "W. II. S." telegraphs the Commercial Gazette that no evidence was presented to the grand jury that Dudley either wrote the letter or knew of it. W. U.S. k a liar and a very clumsy one at that. If there had been no evidence before the grand jury that Dudley wrote the letter, Judge Woods would not have found it necessary to tell the grand jury that there was no crime in writing auch a letter. This particular lie of W. II. S.'s is utterly lacking in "artistic verisimilitude." Dudley has the sublime gall to tell the New York World that he is opposed to bribery and corruption in political elections as in everything else. There is something really beautiful about this exhibition of cheek which will compel the admiration even of those who have never before seen anything about the champion vote-buyer of the day to admire. It is understood that the "Slick Six" propose tendering Dudley a dinner in honorof his "vindication." ' Judge Woods, we presume, will be asked to preside.

THE - DUDLEY LETTER.

A Suggestion by an Indignant Ex-Union Soldier. To TBE Editor Sir: I would suggest that a facsimile copy of the infamous Dudley letter be printed with a deep border surrounding it containing Judse Woods' instructions to the grand jury, together with all the facts relating to his supplementary acts iu this disgraceful'scheme to whitewash the most palpable piece of villainy ever concocted by a set of political thieves and robbers, and fiat every lover of honest rule procure a number of copies and keep them io!ted in conspicuous phiee? over the state as an index t what we may reasonably expect for the next tour years. I rerd such prostitution of judicial powers a national calamity. Weil do I remember wh?u I enlisted on the 23d of April, 1861, the leeltngs of pity, altei nated with contempt, which I had lor the men whi would so ruthlessly attempt the destruction of the best government on earth. That act was a rovolutloniry one, and In the event of success would have found to some extent, a justification in the theory that "might made right." But whpn this nation was at peace with all the world and Port's blessings of freedom and right were spread out like cphantora wave all o'er this niiehty land, a man orduinod ti sit in judgment and religiously watch the golden scales of justice and right, who willfully turns the balance in favorof a renesado and malefactor, is beneath the pale of an honorable and an bonnet contempt. iSuch judicial corruption will only tend to give excuse to Wbite Caps and anarchists. May God save this nation from the ridicule and aspersions that such otficials are liable to bring Upon it. J. C. hlTELIXUTON. Attica, Ind., Jan. 20. A Suggestion to the Democratic Kditors. To the Editor Sin I see in The Sentinel that the "Democratic Editorial Association's Arn ual Meeting will be held in the Hendricks' club room on Thursday, Jau. 31." It is to be hoped they will not select as the sub('ect of their discussion the Hon. Urover Cleveand, president of the United States, and indulge in such adverse criticisms of him and of his civil service reform policy, as they did at Maxintuckee some three years ago, the result of which was to weaken the democratic party, and hand the 6tate over to the republicans two years ago. I attribute to the opposition of the democratic press of Indiana to President Cleveland's civil service policy, our defeat in the state two years e-gro; iud as a reminder to the forth coming meeting of editors, I say let the democratic press of the country be very careful to know they are right, then go ahead; for in this, the nineteenth century, the people and the press of the country is a power that moves them to action, either for the right or for the wrong. Hence the importance of knowing you are right in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the democratic party. Tell the truth, make the press of the country reliable, and with reliability will come confidence, and in ISL'2 will come victory. Tue Han.Grover Cleveland cf New York and the Hon. Issac P. Gray, of Indiana, will be our standard bearers in 'Vl, and will be elected"teyond all nerad venture. T. J. Cherry. Shelbyvilie, Ind., Jan. 14. . To "Counsel" and "Advise.'' To The Editor Sir: The newspapers report that William F. iieall of Eaton, O., "counseled" and "advised" John W. Spivey of Miamisburg to murder Finley Huffman and family. Spivey did not commit the crime or attempt to do it, but reported the matter to a detective who arrested Mri Beall. According to the opinion of Judge Woods, whose decision as U. Ö. judge ought to be as good in Ohio as it is in Indiana, is not Mr. Beall a persecuted individual, and"?hould he not be discharged from custody? Will an Ohio grand jury, in the teeth of .that opinion, convict a man for situply "counseling" and "advising" a murder- to be committed when the murder was not even attempted? As the Chicago Inter-Ocean Raid concerning a parallel case, the public will look for Bcall "to come out of the-furnace without so much as the smell of lire upon his garments," if the decision is good law. - X. Aurora, Ind., Jan. J9. - Good YTords For. "The Sentinel." To the Editor The able and fearless manner in whichyou have handled the judicial monstrosity that now disgraces the ermine of the U. S. district court for Indiana is meeting with the hearty approval of every respecter of law and justice in. the 6tie, of whatever predilection. There is but one sentiment among democrats that of atproval of your manly utterance indignation for outraged law, while decent republicans hang their heads in fchame and d not attempt to excuse the course of Judge Woods in his last infamous act. Permit roe to say that from a knowledge of forty years. The Sextixel has never been so" ably and fearlessly managed as now, and this opinion is common anions its many readers. It should be the chectfnl duty of every democrat in the state to cite The Sextixel a substantial support, and ttus hold up its hands ia its manly work for law order and decency. Jan. 18. Dcäx. Th Governor Misinformed. To the Editor Sr: I notice that Gov. Hovey, in his inaugural, 6peaks of the distribution of the school funds depending upon the number of pupils in jach county who attend the common schools. . We are of the opinion in this part of the stUe that neither the attendance nor the enrollment in the schools has anything whatever to do with the distribution of the school fund.,' tut that the distribution is made on the basis of i the enumeration as reported by the schol trustees to the county superintendents. h W. C. SXYDER. Salem, Ind., Jan. ',7. The Deed and Mortgage Law. To TnE Editor Sir: While our 6tatc legislature is in session, would it not be a good time to make some suggestions for the betterment of statutes as to the legality 'of deeds, mortgages, etc.? I think there should be a law enacted compelling each person signing a deed or mortgage to certify his or her age in said deed or mortgage; also, requiring the notary or justice to certify in said instrument when his commission expires. This would do away with many cases ot litigation in court. W. R. Durham. Kempton, Ind., Jau. 10.
