THE NEXT REPUBLICAN NOM1NEE. There is no denying that Mr. Blaine is the most interesting political figure ou the Republican side, in the country. Taking the press of the country

entires

he is discussed to the extent of an oc tavo volume daily. What with his last race, the certainty, almost, of his being the next candidate, his speeches, his visits to New York and finally his refusal to ppeak to Senator Edmunds, the Man from Maine furnishes as much grist to the newspapers as do the thousand acre wheat fields of Dakota to the mammoth mills of Minneapolis.

It is idle to suppose that Mr. Blaine does not expect to be the next nominee of his party. To all intents and purposes he is the nominee already.

A stady of the press com ment carefully 'collated- reveal the fact that the Mugwumps look for his nomination, and, while they profess to believe he is the weakest candidate, they really fear him. The bare chance of his election, after determined opposition, means deep humiliation to them and their absolute ostracism by the Republican party, with which, barring Mr. Blaine, they have very strong ties. A political "Kicker" must suooeed if he fails the Ishmaelite fate awaits him.

The Democrats on the other hand want Mr. Blaine to be the nominee. They do not despise his strength. As the Boston Globe puts it "they anticipate that he will make another campaign like the last—brilliant, nervy and audacious—and that the result will be the same as before, only more so."

The man to bring about this result is Grover Cleveland.

THE COURT RECORD. Just about once a day some one asks the GAZETTB to omit a report of a criminal or civil action in which he is involved. Usually these petitioners come alone, but frequently they are aocompanied by some known advertiser or patron of the paper, or warm personal friend of the publishers, to plead the cause. Years ago the GAZETTE became thoroughly, disgusted with the system then in rogue, and still practiced by many newspapers, of suppressing reporte of criminal proceedings when requested to do so by persons influential because of advertising patronage or friendly relations with the proprietors. With many papers it simply amounts to sparing your friends and punishing your enemies, and has, moreover, the decidedly vile flavor of blackmail. The manifest injustice of screening one young man who is in the toils for some breach of the law, because his father is an advertiser or an inuuential mem, while printing the damaging evidence against another less fortunately situated, ought to make any fair-minded man ashamed of being a party to it. Plate sin with gold, and the strong lance Of justice hurtless breaks Clothe it In rngs, a pigmy's wand doth pierce it.

The GAZETTE resolved years ago to avoid the slightest appearance of any such outrageous injustice. It decided that all the court proceedings or none should thereafter be printed and having determined that court news is a valuable feature of a newspaper, and for reasons hereafter given ought to appear, instructions were given to the court reporter to heed no requests to suppress names, but to regularly publish the police and magistrates' records of criminal business, and all civil and criminal actions in the higher courts. The multitudinous small civil suits in the justices' courts are omitted, in most cases, because of their triviality.

Under the operations of this iron clad rule, which has never been deviated from in the knowledge of the publishers there have been many instances when, from motives of personal friendship, the

The publication of new suits has

often given offense to merchants, who are friends of the paper and for whose feelings and opinions the greatest regard is felt. They have contended that their credit was thus causelessly and, as some express it, wantonly injured. In answer to this it may be stated Jthat no merchant is sued without the fact being telegraphed to all the commercial agencies in the country, whether the same is published in the local paper or not. If an absurd or unjust suit, it will not affect his rating. And then, a word right in this connection. If a merchant is in a failing condition, and has been sued, what motive can an honest man h&ve in keeping the fact a secret from his neighbors and creditors unless it be to get further credit, which he may never be able to discharge, and which might not have been extended if the facts were known? That a man struggling against adversity may be injtued by a 6uit is true, but the suppression of the fact of that suit is to place other creditors, or those who are liablo to become creditors, at a disadvantage. If they wish to extend old credit or grant tiew after knowledge of the suit, all is fair, but to keep them in ignoranc.9 of the facts is not fair. Moreover, great deception is practiced by a newspaper which, by publishing apart of the suits, leads its readers to believe the reports are complete, and yet, at request, omits some particular Buit,

By far, however, the larger number of publications complained of in the GAZETTE are reports of criminal proceedings It is quite amusing, many young men think, to get drunk and not a Very serious thing to be fined for it, but an 'awful outrage" to have thatfaot known^ through a newspaper. And singularly enough, the wrath which ought properly to be spent on one's own weakness in yielding to swinish habits is all reserved for the newspaper which has published the record as it stands.

The most annoying of all suits, and for which most strenuous efforts are made to suppress the court proceedings from print, are paternity cases. That some of these suits are brought for the purpose of levying blackmail ttiere can scarcely be any doubt, and the injury done is of the most cruel character to an innocent party but it is the worst sort of stupidity to believe that innocence can be proven by suppressing a report of a public trial. By far, however, the larger portion of these suits are righteous, and are brought as a last resort by some poor girl "by love's simplicity betrayed and guileless trust," to compel the proper provision whioh ought to have been made, and in most cases is made, without the disgrace of a public trial. It is all right that a whip bo put "in every honest haud to lash such scoundrels naked though the world."

Far more efficaoious than legal actions, to reduce the number of these cases, is publicity, which is never made in the GAZETTE unless the suit is actually begun. We cannot dispense with the courts because some unjust causes are tried in them nor oan the restraining effect on vice of publicity be lost, in all cases, because cruel wrong is wrought in some instances by this means. And, finally, while any of these cases are printed, it is cowardly and unjust to make exceptions of the rich or influential, or to yield to threats of either loss of business or physical violence and notice is again served that-none of these means will be effective with the GA-

THE RE-COUNT.

There were some Democrats dissatisfied with Judge Mack because he granted the re-count in the Beasley—Downing contest. The Judge, in talking of the matter in this office, remarked the other day that a strict interpretation of the law was against granting a re-count that this is what he thought at first and still thinks, "and yet," he added, flushing with honest indignation, "there is so much just complaint of partisan judges, that I am inclined to lean the other way and grant more to a political opponent, in oases of this sort, than the law really allows."

The GAZETTE believed and said at the time the petition for re-count was granted that it was all right there can be no good objection to it. If Mr. Beasley is not honestly and fairly elected he does not want the office. For the information of a correspondent who thinks Mr. Farrington has not been treated fairly this is re-printed from last Wednesday's issue:

The people will be satisfied with the gentlemen whom Judge Mack haB selected to make the recount of the votes for joint representative in this county. Mesers. Geo. E. Farrington, Andrew Grimes and Edwin O'Boyle have the fullest confidence of the public.

Judge Mack has strengthened the great hold he has on the people immensely. He is an invincibly popular Judge.

ALLEN THOKNJDIKE RICE thinks the method of conducting elections by ballot

proprietors of this paper have been' in the Australian colonies and the strongly inclined to make exceptions, but they have never done so and never will until it is deoided to omit the court news altogether.

British Islands is vastly superior to our own, "in securing absolute secrecy and accurate returns, thus rendering the bribery of voters and the deals of politicians impracticable."

THB North American Review is studying the lesson of the New York City elections and announces that the December number "contains a tripartite paper on the "Lessons of the New York City Elections," in which the three parties all have their "say" in a most impartial and interesting manner. The article is made up of three "views," the "Republican View," the Labor Party View" and the "Democratic View." Hon. S. S. Cox represents the Democracy Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn speaks for the Labor Party, and a gentleman who is understood to be time honored and distinguished among Republicans contests the ground for- that party, but has preferred to keep his name in retirement." «.

HIS NAME IS SMITH,

He Says He is the Lieutenant Governor and

Going to Law..

Indianapolis Sentinel: There was a gathering of out-of-town Democrats here yesterday. Hon. J. Q. Smith, of Jennings, president pro tem. of tho Senate, was among the number, the object of his visit being to take steps to at once contest the election of Colonel R. S Robertson, Lieutenant Governorelect. It was the understandiing that Mr. Smith would institute proceedings of some kind during the day, but he did not do so. As stated heretofore in the Sentinel he proposed to apply for an injunction to prevent the issuing of a certificate of eleotion to Colonel Robertson, and in this action he will be supported by party leaders who, after careful examination of the statutes, have unanimously concluded that the election of a Lieutenant Governor in an "off-year" was unconstitutional.

Hon. David Turpie and ex-State Senator Jason Brown are representing the interests of Mr, Smith as his attorneys. Mr. Turpie, it will be remembered, held, before the nominations were made and after General Manson's retirement, that no election should take place, and at no time during the campaign did he change his position. In an opinion given to Governor Gray he cited the Constitution bearing upon the subject, and took strong grounds against the proposition to place a candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the field. Mr.' Brown likewise investigated the matter at that time, and formed the same view of it. Mr. Smith himself contended from the first that there was no vacancy, and that in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor the duties of that office would devolve upon the presiding officer of the Senate.

It was on account of Secretary of State Myers' absence that the papers in the case were not filed yesterday As an initiatory formality it is understood a demand will be made upon the Secretary to refuse to deliver the returns for Lieutenant Governor to the-Speaker of the House, to whom, duplicated Returns now in the Secretary's possession are addressed under the provisions of the law touching the Lieutenant Governorship. This demand will not be complied with, and then the legal proceedings will begin.

"The Mail" Apologizes For Itself. The Chicago Mail edited by Frank Hatton says: An editorial appeared in yesterday's Mail, which would not have found a place in these colums had it first been seen by the responsible editor who was confined at his home by sickness. The editorial referred to did not express the opinions held by the editor of the Mail concerning the disgraceful episode which occurred at the uncovered coffin of ex-President Arthur, and for which Mr. James G. Blaine was alone responsible. No reasonable excuse can be made by Mr. Blaine's closest friends for his utter disregard of all the ordinary decencies of life, in order that he might insult another. Feeling as he does on this subject, and knowing all the circumstances of the unfortunate occurrence, the editor of THE MAIL could not be expected to even indirectly apologize for Mr. Blaine's cowboy behavior. Mr. Blaine's appearance at the funeral was unfortunate in every respect for Mr. Blaine. His whole course was that of a hypocrite. Not until every one else had sent their messages of sympathy to the family did it occur to Mr. Blaine to send his effusive telegram. He invited himself to the funeral of a man for whom he had time and time, again openly expressed his hatred. He must have

known that he would meet people! H^nr there who did not worship at the Blaine altar, and he should have been

spect for the dead. Senator Edmunds sacrificed quite as muoh in recognizing Mr. Blaine, in the slightest degree, as Mr. Blaine could possibly have sacrificed by the most effusive recognition of the Vermont senator. The whole transaction was characteristic of Blaine. He no doubt regarded it as one of those brilliant, dashing performances about which his admirers talk so much. He felt that he was out of the public mind for a day. A man lay dead for whom a nation was bowing in respectful sorrow, but Mr. Blaine, who, whether at a feast or a funeral, never loses a chance to advertise himself, stood by the dead ex-Presi-dent and with a heart rankling with malice deliberately insulted one of the dead man's most intimate friends. From the standpoint of common, every-day decencv Mr. Blaine's oonduct is indefensi-

ble, and the editor of the Mail does not

GREEN SMITH.

He Enters a Suit to Substantiate His Claims. The complaint that Hon. A. G. Smith member of the ^tate Senate from Jennings county and President of that body, against Hon. Wm. R. Myers, Sec retary of State, for an injunction to prevent the Secretary's certifying the returns of the vote cast for Lieutenant Governor to the speaker cf the next Honse of Representatives, was filled yesterday in the Circuit Court at Indianapolis. Summons was at once issued and served upon Secretary Myers, the same being returnable December 11, the sixth judical day of the December term of the -Marion Circuit Court. Hon. Louis T. Michener, as Attorney Gen eral, will act as counsel for the defendant.

Under the law separate or duplicate returns of the vote cast for Lieutenant Governor are addressed by County Clerks to the Speaker of the House, and these, unopened, are kept by the Secretary of State until the meeting of the General Assembly, at which time the vtoe is canvassed by the House. The suit, therefore, is to enjoin the Secretary from delivering the returns in the manner prescribed by law on the ground that no vacancy existed and the election of a Lieutenant Governor was illegal,

IM CAMPBELL:

She Isn't Just the Pink of Perfection Herself. rf

The Duke of Marlborough and Chief Shaw Mixed up in the 7*} Case. -'V 1$

LONDON, Dec. 1.—The hearing of the Campbell divoroe suit was resumed ^var, Stomach, today. Rosa Baer, formerly lady maid to the plaintiff, testified for the defense. She said the Duke of Marlborough frequently visited Lady Colin Campbell. He usually came in the afternoon and was shown to the drawing room. Witness never saw any familiarity between Lord Colin Campbell and Mary Watson. Lady Colin had instructed witness not to leave letters to her mistress in the hall, but to take them to her. Some of the letters that witness carried to plaintiff .the latter burned others she placed in a box under her bed.

In June, 1882, Lady Colin, who was at the time in the company of Lady Miles, called witness. Lady Miles told witness she had blackened her mistress' character and must leave, and that if she did not go at once the police would be called to put her out. Lady Colin gave her £10, four only being due as wages, and told witness to tell the servants in explanation of her departure that her father was ill and. she was going home Lady Colir, added witness, said that she considered witness a sister and not a servant and missed her a good deal, saying it was Lord Colin Campbell who bad dismissed her. Witness had posted letters to the Duke of Marl borough. She sometimes took them to his house. Lady Colin used to leave the house at eight o'clock in the even ing and return as late as three o'clock on the following morning. On some of these occasions witness would accompany her mistress a short distance from the house and there be told, to return.

On these expeditions Lady Colin usually carried along a felt hat concealed under her cloak. Sometimes, in undressing Lady Colin after her return from these absences, witness found her dress partially disarranged. Once wit ness found a gentleman's handkerchief in .Liady Colin's room at Leigh Court. Plaintiff said she knew to whom it belonged and took it. Once witness heard somebody after midnight ascending the stairs. Lady Colin coughed. The person then entered the door of the room adjoining plaintiff. The door of the room was shut, and witness was dis missed. Next day witness found evi dences that the room had. been occu pied by twe persons. Once witness heard the Duke of Marlborough in Lady Colin's room during the afternoon. On one occasion while witness was brushing Lady Colin's hair after midnight some one on the outside of the room tried the door and finding it locked, departed. Witness saw Chief Shaw walking outside the house.

Shaw had a carriage in waiting. The carriage went away and Chief Shaw entered the house. Witness often mailed letters to Chief Shaw from Lady Colin.

Being cross-examined, witness admitted that she cried when she was dis missed from Lady Colin's service and that she said she was sorry she had talked to the servants. She denied however, that she admitted that she had been a wicked gossip. She admitted that she had written to Lady Colin both from abroad and after her return to England that the plaintiff never answered her letter.

Miss Baier admitted that two weeks ago sbe had signed a statement that Lady Colin Campbell dismissed her because she knew too much about her and she had thought it very easy to tell Lady Colin that she would expose her. Bueing asked to explain how it came that she signed the statement, admitted as untrue, witness said: "j thought it true then. I think it untrue now." This recantation caused a sensation among the audience.

Continuing, under close croES-exami-nation, witness admitted that the Duke of Marborough always called upon Lady Colin during the usual visiting hours. He came trc ice and s9metimes five times weekly. Witness posted letters to the Duke of Marlborough every day and sometimes twice a day. On tije occasion when she took letters to the Duke's residence she put them into the letter box, rang the bell and ran away home.

She had been instructed to do so on these occasions. Witness then admitted that the statements made previously that she had found in undressing Lady Colin that her dress was open at the back and her skirt disarranged and her petticoats out of order, on occasions when the plaintiff left home early in the evening and returned in the early morning, were not true.

Witness had not found Lady Colin's dress unlaced. She had found a petticoat unhooked once. Being further pressed, witness admitted that it was not a petticoat, but that the skirt was simply unhooked so that she could see the petticoat beneath the skirt—that was all.

Counsel for plaintiff added more pressure and Miss Baer finally admitted that the Duke of Marlborough was not at Leigh Court at Christmas. She also admitted that the statements she had made in her direct examination about hearing some one ascending the stairs after midnight one night and enter the room adjoining Lady Coliu's and finding a gentleman's handkerchief in Lady Colin's room next morning, and other indications that two persons had occupied the room, were untrue. Witness, in the original statement, she contended,did notsay that two persons had occupied the room on the occasion referred to. Witness only remembered this incident last week.

Nearly everyone of Miss Baer's admissions provoked excitement and a sensation, in view of their damaging effect upon that side of the case which was largely built on what she had previously stated in writing.
