THE REPUBLICAN.

THE ATTEMPT TO UNSEAT S. P. THOMPSON.

We received last week just' before going to pressSqome of the particulars regarding the preparations A that were being made to throw c. P. Thompson, of this district, out of his seat. We have since taken pains to obtain, from a Reliable source, more information about the scoundrelly scheme, aM now propose giving some further particulars regarding it, and especially shall endeavor to present Dr. Patton’s connection with the matter in a elear, truthful and fearless manner. The unseating of Mr. Thompson was to be done, not because there was anybody, democrat or republican who believed for an instant that he was not fairly elected and in every way fully entitled to his seat, but simply because the democratic majority in the senate believed that they needed another democratic vote to help elect a democratic senator. The only fact upon which they relied for a pretest for their intended base robbery of the seat was . the reflaark of M. H. Walker, of Fowler, explained last week. The principle tools of the head conspirators were Patrick Keefe, of Kentland, and 0. K. Hob its, of howler, and among the witnesses they subpoencd was Chap. W. Hartley, of Goodland. The committee on elections gave Mr. Thompson no notice of the pending contest until the witnesses against him began to arrive on Monday morning of the 10th iust., and the taking of testimony began at 10 p. m. of that day and was concluded by noon the next day. The evident intention of the conspirators of course was to hurry through with the case before Mr. Thompson could secure any witnesses in his defense. By his energetic measures, however, Mr. Thompson managed to secure the attendance of enough witnesses to get so strong and clear a case in his favor on record that even the desperately reckless majority of the Senate will doubtless hestitate sometime before they venture to throw him out

The scheme was- a deliberate intention to commit a crime which in actual criminality, was vastly greater than those for which nine tenths of the-present inmates of our penitentiaries were sentenced. It was a flagrant dime against Mr, Thompson, in thatjt would deliberately rob him a position the honors and emoluments of which belonged to him by the clearest and strongest title. It was a crime against the people of the senatorial district, for it was an attempt to deprive them of the services of that representative in the Senate whom they had freely elected by a majority of nearly 400 votes, and greater than all, it was a crime against society, against republican institutions and against the rights of the people. In regard to Dr. Patton’s connection with this villainous conspiracy, we wish most earnestly that we could truthfully say that he was guiltless; but unfortunately for him, all the circumstauces of the case combine to make a prim a. facia case to show that he was deep in the counsels of the cbnspirators, and that he stood ready and anxious to avail himself of the fruits of the robbery. In the first place it would be impossible to believe that the contest would ever have been begun, on such miserable and trivial pretexts had not the conspirators known well enough that Patton would be ready to take the place of Mr. Thompson, no matter by what injustice it might be taken from him.

Secondly, the prompt appearance and persistent attendance of Dr. Patton at the scene of the intended outrage is a strong evidence that he knew of and approved what was going on there. It is true it has been given out that he ' was called to Indianapolis by the sickness of a relative; but, aside from tii© inherent improbability that a sickness that had already continued for five or six weeks should suddenly take Such a turn as to require the doctor to bo summoned t<? Indianapolis by telegraph, at the very.time when he would naturally go there provided' he were privy to the plot to rob Mr. Thompson, we have the state-' rnent of a reliable person Saafrth# doctor himself stated while in Indianapolis that he went there in response to a telegram from the Senate committee on elections; and the-purpose-of- visiting a sick relative was only mentioned in a subordinato way. Still further we have it on good authority that the most of the doctor’s, three days stay in Indianapolis was not at the bedside of liis sick relative but in the large hotels, at the state house, and

other resorts of the politicians; and also that he was very much in the company of Patrick Keefe, the leading tool a fid emissary of the chief conspirators in their meditated outrage. Lastly and most conclusive of all, we snow that on Wednesday, the 19th inst., when the first joint ballot was taken for United States Senator, when the name of S. P. Thompson was called, Leon Bailey, a leading democrat arose and protested against Mr. Thompson’s vote and stated that David H. Patton was present and would vote for David Turpie, if permitted so to do. David H. Patton heard this statement and made no objection. It is true that he stated afterwards, to private persons, that Bailey’s statement was made without his authority; but that this remark of the doctor’s was made merely for the purpose of preparing a way for his retreat, in caso the scheme to oust Thompson miscarried, is made pretty evident by the facts that it was made as an afterthought and at a time when it would have no force or prominence, and further by the facts that the doctor did not deny the truth of Bailey’s statement. The doctor was subpcened as a witness by Mr. Thompson, and when upon the stand it is stated, testified fairly and “said nothing against Mr. Thompson.” But how could he have done otherwise when he knew nothing against him that he could say? Mr. Patton stayed in Indianapolis until Thursday, or just as long as there was any prospect that the contest against Mr. Thompson would be pressed to a conclusion. This fact is another strong proof that liis chief object in being there was the hope of obtaining Thompson’s stolen seat. As to tjie|present. status of the contest, it is sufficient to say that it rests in t abeyance, in the hands ot the Election Committee, and so long as thejjnow famous “Compromise with llevolutionists” remains in force there is no prospect of any further action upon it.

How the Accident Occurred.

A Call reporter interviewed E. S- Blackwell, one of the engineers in the Monon accident near St. John’s on Sunday. He said: “We were bucking snow with four engines, two of which were headed north, the other two south. We were working about two miles south of St. John’s, and were making a run over Bull Creek bridge, which is about seventy-five feet long and eighteen feet high. The front engine jumped the track within twenty feet of the bridge, and the second one followed, tearing up the track and ties in such a manner that the two engines following, backing up, went down. One of these was mine, the other was run by Dave Pope. The two front engines got across the bridge, but ours took the entire structure down when they went througlj. The bridge was perfectly safe and there was up one to blame. Those who were on the engines were injured in some way. My injuries are in tiio chest and left leg bruised. Dave and Wes Pope were hurt about the head and legs, bruised and scalded. A. Mclntosh, fireman, hurt about the legs; Mr. Adams, legs scalded; Brakeman John Lucas, legs scalded, and two section men slightly bruised.”—Lafayette Call.

About Those Fire Cisterns.

Editor Republican:— Not long since there was a notice in the papers that our Town Board was talking of putting in a number of cisterns ‘and purchasing a hand engine or two, with which to fight fire. It would take from six to ten cisterns to supply the central part of town, while those near the limits would not be any better protected than they are now. Cisterns holding 200 barrels would cost about one hundred dollars each, and six of them would cost not less y than six hundred dollars then they would have to be filled. They would be liable to be out of repair and empty just when needed. After paying out from six hundred to one thousand dollars for cisterns, the next thing would be to- purchase an engine, which would be likely to cost as much more.

- Were the Board to purchase a good chemical engine, it would be cheapest, easier to handle arid -far more effective than tire little Band engines. The chemical engine is no more liable to get out of repair than the water engines and it would take fewer men to handle it. Let our people think about it and investigate lor themselves. The Board had better investigate thoroughly before commencing a very expensive and not very efficient system. -

WAS IT SUICIDE?

Singular Circumstances of the Death of Charles Ellis.—A Question which will Never be AnsweredThe coroner’s inquest last Saturday in the case of Charles Ellis developed some curious facts. The testimony showed that about 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon he took some quinine; that after snow-balling heartily with some children in the yard, he went to bed feeling uiclf, about 4; that an hour later he sent foF his sister, saying he wanted to tell her something, but when she came, told her nothing; and the next morning was found dead in bed; having apparently died about midnight. Ah indication that he knew something was wrong, or perhaps committed suicide, was furnished by the discovery in bis pocket book after death, of a slip of paper, on which was written, “Bury me at Remington ” The Coroner did not esteem the evidence, however; sufficient to justify holding a post-mortem at the county’s expense, and the relatives not being willing" or able to stand it, the matter was dropped and the remains forwarded to Remington by the 3p. m. train. The rigid hands indicated convulsions, and that Ellis either died in a lit, or from poison.—Lafayette Call,

Billy Owen and Billy Goat.

Golden Days: At Washington there is a boy of whom Congressman Owen, of Indiana, is a patron. About a year ago the boy purchased asorry-looking goat and wagon, which ho used to carry himself to and from the Capitol. One day recently Congressman Owen found the little fellow leaning against one of the pillars in the Capitol rotunda, crying bitterly. Sweet Apple, his goat, he said, was dead. The child was heartbroken. Mr. Owen told him to find another goat, and he would buy it for him. The matter passed from his mind until, a few days ago, the lad came bounding into tbe chamber, his face aglow with pleasure, and approaching Mr. Owen excitedly, exclaimed: “I’ve got him! He’s outside; come out and take a look at him!” Some of the members sitting near Mr. Owen, prompted by curiosity, followed the couple outside. There they found the dignified In’dianian bartering with a small colored person for the purchase of . a vicious-appearing goat, which was rearing and. plunging madly in its efforts to butt Mr. Owen over. § The bargain was finally concluded upon the payment of six dollars. That night, Billy Owen, as the goat is called, was given his first lesson in wagon hauling, with a young page of the Capitol as driver.

A Gas Well in Jasper County.

White Messrs. W. T. Perkins & Son, the famous well-borers of Rensselaer, were drilling a well last Saturday on a farm in Carpenter tp., about a mile north-east of Remington they struck, at a depth of about 60 feet, 40 of which were through rock, a flow of inflammable gas, similar to the two struck by the same parties, in Princeton tp., White county, a few months ago. It burns readily, and with an intense heat; and Mr. Perkins is of the opinion that it is sufficient in quantity to furnish heat and light for a number of families. , • , 1

The New State House.

The Indianapolis Journal contain* a description of Indiana** new state house, from whioh the following facts are culled: Actual work began October 11, 1878, and has gone on almost continuously to the present time. The corner-stone was laid in September, 1880/ and the last stone set on the. dome July 3, 1886. The entire work of finishing and grading will be completed j by September of tbe present year. The total amount paid out to date is sl,621,450; the cost, when finished, is put at $1,988,898. The building. is in the form of a Greek cross 500 feet long from north to south, and 280 feet through the central transept and 200 feet at the north and south ends. It rises 80 feet above the walls at the Washington street portico, and 100 feet j at the Tennessee street enterance, with a height at the top of the flag-staff of nearly 25d feet. The structure is fire pi oof from top to bottom, requiring no insurance, as the statute provided. Any room may be filled with cord wood and burned without damage only to the finishing of the particular room. All state offices are on the first floor and easily accessible to the public. The second story is devoted to , Legislative business, the Supreme Court and the state library. The legislative halls are in the central part of the building, separated only by the width of the main hall; all the turmoil and confusion of the legislative body, its lobbies and attendants, is confined to the center of the building, while the Supreme court and library, which require quiet, are at the extreme ends of the building. The third flood is given up to legislative committee rooms, varying in size. The first floor is devoted to offices for the state officials.—Michigan City Enterprise.
