An Infernal Outrage.

The following from the Indianapolis Journal tells the whole God’s truth concerning the work of Bailey and his tools. “Assistant District Attorney Claypool has washed his hands of the grand jury business, and ru* mor says that Leon Bailey will soon leave the state for a new field of labor. They have exhaust ed themselves in finding indictments against a number of Republicans for alleged election frauds, and they are content to leave the indictments as a legacy for the next administration. That was the scheme from the beginning. Neither Claypool nor Bailey ever expected the eases to come to trial. Their sole object was to get indictments and thien drop the matter. In carrying out this scheme they have raked the state with a fine tooth comb for trumpery charges, and have succeeded in having indictments found on the most flimsy and worthless evidence. Few, if any, of the/indictments amount to anything. Some of the indicted persons have demanded an immediate trial, but cannot get it. It was not the intention of Bailey and Claypool to try any of the cases. The whole proceeding is a Democratic good scheme.” This matter has already cost the government over $40,000, which

has gone to the profit of the disre?utable Bailey and his lieutenants 'his is the gang that stood by Sullivan, Coy & Go., Coy is id the penitentiary, Sullivan is* in* Canada and if justice ever gets her dues, the other of the gang will find a home behind the prison walls. Justice may be blind but,she never called to her support the like of these.—Delphi Journal.
