Appointment of Greathouse Is Worrying Some of Democrats

1 (Palladium Special) Indianapolis." Aug. SO. Some of the democrats are worried because they ftar that the appointment of Charles Greathouse by the democratic state committee to take the place of Robert J. Aley on the state ticket as candidate for state superintendent of public instruction may cause a lot of trouble among the friends of other men who hoped to receive consideration at the hands of the committee to fill the vacancy on the ticket causeed by the resignation of Aley. It is admitted on all sides and openly charged by the friends of some of the candidates that the state committee took snap Judgment in making the appointment of Greathouse without considering anyone else or giving any of the other aspirants a fair chance to have their claims presented.. It seemed that the only thing the committee had in view was to make a selection that would be to the liking of Tom Taggart and to do it as quickly as possible in order to avoid a mix-up by the other candidates. A number of well known democratic educators wanted the nomination left vacant by the resignation of Aley. E. E. Bunnell, the present deputy state superintendent was one of them. He came here from Laporte county, and is counted an able man. He has many friends who believed that since he vas the deputy under Aley he was entitled to the nomination on the ticket when his chief stepped aside. But the Tagsart element on the state committee did not even take his name into consideration, probably because he would be too much like Aley a man that does not take kindly to the Taggart brand of politics. T. F. Fitzgibbon, superintendent of the Columbus schools, was another aspirant. He is one of the bast known educators in the state, and for years he has been prominent in the teachers organizations.- He has many friends who believed that he was entitled to consideration at the hands of the state committee, and W. H. Everroad, of Columbus, presented ' his name, but Fitzgibbon received only one vote, that being cast by the member of the state committee from his own district The name of S. L. Scott, county superintendent of Clark county, also was prominently mentioned. He and Fitzgibbon were candidates for the nomination for state superintendent a few years ago but both were defeated. Their friends feel, therefore, that they were entitled to the place on the ticket when it was thrown open in thi3 way. J. Walter Dunn, the secretary of the state reading circle board, was another name mentioned and It would have been pushed with vigor if his friends had had any chance to do so and if the state committee had not taken the bull by the horns and appointed Greathouse. Dunn has many friends in this city and in Starke county, where he formerly lived. Then there was Prof. George Tapey, of Wabash college. Tapey Is the name that is expected to cause the most trouble, for It is said that he was the personal choice of Governor Marshall for the place left vacant by Aley. The governor and Tapey are close personal friends, and the governor has every confidence in him. Some time ago he appointed Tapey a member of the state board of education. Some of the governor's friends are declaring now that the haste of the state committee in naming a successor to Aley while the governor was out of the city was deu to its desire to .prevent the governor from insisting on the naming of Tapey. Tapey would never suit Taggart and it is evident that the state committee, which is controlled by Taggart, did anot want to please the governor. In'fact it looks to some them opt tn the barn.

of his friends like the committee deliberately took a slap at him. It is noteworthy that "Governor Marshall has not said a word about the matter since the committee took its action. Several other leaders have sent letters of congratulation, expressing their pleasure at the appoint-! ment of Greathouse, but not a word has been received from the governor. Whether he will express his pleasure when he gets back home from Michigan this week is still a conjecture. He may and he may not Not only are the friends of the snubbed candidates talking about the way they were treated by the state committee, but other democrats are not slow in expressing their opinion of such unseemly haste. They believe that since Governor Marshall is to be the leading light in the campaign this year and is to make the keynoto speech bn which the democratic campaign will be based he should have been consulted in regard to the man who should be chosen to fill the Aley vacancy. A . large part of the campaign is to be based on the record made by the Marshall administration. There are some democrats who believe that since the governor has been so beautifully double crossed in the Aley matter he may not make as many speeches or be as active in the campaign this year as he otherwise would have been. However, this is a subject that he alone can handle. Certain it is, however, that he will not feel like throwing his hat in the air and pulling tail feathers from the democratic rooster in his efforts to elect the candidates who are forced on him by the Taggart machine. The fact is that a good deal of disappointment has been created by the turn down of the numerous aspirants for the state superintendency, and indignation over the great haste which the state committee displayed in filling the vacancy. Tt.a j Decided. A peasant living iu the village of Predeal. near the Hungarian frontier, lost bis cow. About two months ago he happened to be standing at tlu railroad station watching a train load of cattle about to be sent across the frontier. Suddenly he gave a shout. "That's my cowT" he cried, running toward one of the cars. The trainmen only laughed at bim. and he went before the magistrate. This good man listened to the peasant's story patiently. Then he pronounced this judgment: "The cow shall be taken to the public square of Predeal and milked. Then if it goes of its own accord to the plaintiff's stable it shall belong to bim." The order of the court was carried out. and the cow. iu spite of its ten months' absence, took without hesitation the lane which led it a few minutes later into the peasant's stable. Chicago News.

AN ASTOR . DEAL The Only Tim That Old John Jacob Sold Real Estate. "One of the most stringent real estate rules of the Astor family is "never sell. aud only one sale Is recorded in the entire life of old John Jacob Astor," said Nlles F.

"In 1S30 Astor tore down his house in Broadway, cleared the whole block from Vesey to Barclay street and built the huge Quiney granite hotel known as the Astor House, which Vas one of the first notable landmarks tn New York and also one of the best paying pieces of projierty. "A few days after it was finished the old gentleman aud bis eldest son. William, were walking through City Hall park, where the postoffice now stands, and stopped a moment to admire the building, the finest hotel in America at that time. - 'Pop. that's a mighty fine building.' said William.

The flock, consisting of fifteen young ones, was mothered by two bens, a white one and a bronze, and had been running for quite a time over two adjoining farms. The owner of the white hen declared that the turkeys were bis. while the man who owned the bronze hen asserted just as positively that they belonged to him. The justice was puzzled. At last a witness catne forward who swore that be bad seen a dog chase the flock; that at the dog's approach the young birds flew up into a tree and the bronze hen took to the woods, but the white hen turned -and gave battle to the dog. The justice thereupon decided that the owner of the white hen was also tlfe rightful owner of the brood of young turkeys. New York 'Press. A Woman's Wit.
