Gov. Matthews Gives His Answer.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 3—Goy. Matthews Monday informed the republican state committee that he will not call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of enacting an apportionment law. He sent to Chairman Gowdy a letter setting forth the reasons for refusing to call a special session. The republican committee, upon receipt of the answer to its memorial, directed its attorneys to begin suit forthwith to set aside the apportionment act of 1885. The complaint was filed in the Marion county superior court three hours after the answer of the governor had been received.
