SENATK.
Washington. Jan. 8 —Voorhees called
up a resolution offered by him yesterday
in relation to the alleged interference by
Chambers, the United States district
attorney at Indianapolis, to prevent the
arrest of W. W. Dudley on the charge of
violating the election laws of Indiana in
the last presidential election, and pro»
ceeded to address the senate. He spoke
of the crime as having inflicted an indeli-
ble stain on that memorable election and
impeached the integrity of the political
remit that followed. The fact of the
crime wa( open and unive tally known
and practically confessed by its perpetra-
tori, and yet by cunstaot vigilance in
obstructing the law and denying and
preventing justice the crime had thus fur
gone unpuuished. The beneficiary of
the polluted ballot box, now
in high plsce, has felt com-
pelled to shield the corrupt instrument
of his success from the penalties due such I
notorious guilt. Voorhees sent to the
clerk's desk and had read the notorious
"blocks of five" letters and went on to
say the days aud weeks which imme<-
diately followed the publication of that
polluted and pulluting c&mpaigu, the
document would always be remembered
for the rapidity, audacity and fecundity,
with which the most felfst*Vident false-
hoods were conceived and put forth by
the republican press to avoid the adium
and escape the legal penalties of an or-
ganized attempt at wholesale bribery,
The document emanating officially from
the national republican committee had
pointed out he said, that an ample
corruption fund was ready in hand and
gave explicit directions for its use, by
agents selected for tbtir skill in such ras-
cality. He spoke of Dudley as the im-<
mediate personal representative in the
national republican committee of Benj,
Harrison, then caudidate for the presi-
dency and now president of the United
States. He Jiad been put upon that com-
mittee at the earnest request of Harrison,
and between them there were the most
confidential and personal relations, They
had been, politically, Siamese twins in
the state of Indiana. When, therefore,
the scheme of bribery and corruption was
exposed on the 31st of October, near and
far a* fast as lightning carried the shame*
ful story, was it. to be supposed that
Dudley left without the advice, instruc-
tion and assistance of Senator Quay,
chairman of the national republican com-
initcee and the senator from the state of
Pennsylvania, arrived in Indianapolis
and held repeated and protracted confers
ences with those who held the fate of
Dudley and the interests of the republi-
can party in the hollow of their hands.
Quay—I say it is not true that in In-
dianapolis I conferred with those
who held the republican party in
the hollow of their hand, or conferred
with any one in regard to Dudley's case.
Voorhees—Does the senator deny that
he called on President-elect Harrison in
Indianapolis?
Quay—I called on Presidentelect Har-
rison.
Voorhees—The senator will not blame
me if I draw the inference that he wants
ed the prosecution of Dudley stopped and
he went to Indianapolis to sea him, and
he did say certain things in quarters
whene it would do the most good, and
with an emphasis which was not for-
gotten.
Voorheei went on to speak of Dudley's
threats to use dynamite, which he had in
his pocket, in caRe an attempt was made
to inflict punishment upon him, and alsc
to criticisc severely the part which Judge
Woods was represented as taking in pre
venting the finding of a bill of indictment
against Dudley. In view of the indignity
and in justice of the open outrage inflicted
on the people of Indiana in the name
and by the authority of the republican
national committee ( aided and
abetted hy the action of the
federal conrt.) it would not seem strange,
as a representative of that insulted peo-
ple that he should like to know by whose
instructions Had by what law the officer
of the government in Indianapolis felt
himself warranted, a few weeks ago in
ordering the United States commissioner
not to issue a warrant for Dudley's ar-
rest, when he ventured to return to In-,
dianapolis for the first time in more than i
a year. In behalf of the people I
of Indiana he desired the attorney gen-!
eral of the United States to inform the
senate whether the action of h's official
subordinate was inspired by his instruct
tions, or met now with his approval. No
better opportunity could present itself to
Presideut Harrison than was

S'-nted to define his connection with Dud-
ley and Dudley's crime..
In conclusion Voorhees declared that
bribe givers, bribe takers and all eudors
sers of bribery should be regarded as
pirates and enemies of the human race
Edmunds offered an amendment for the
preamble and resolution so as to strike
out the preamble and make it read:
That the attorney general he and is
hereby instructed to inform the senate
what instructions, if any, the department
of justice had given District Attorney
Chambers for the district of Indiana
on the subject of the arrest
of W. W. Dudley or his exemption from
arrest, and by what authority of law any
such instructions have been given, and
that copies of all such correspondence be
transmitted to the senate,"
He expressed (sarcastically)^ admira-
tion aBd concurrence in the beautiful
tribute of the senator from Indiana to the
value of political morality He aiso gave
his adhesion to Voorhees. denunciation of
political immorality. If Dudley had done
thing imputed to him he had certainly
committed (if not a crime against the
United Statas) a crime against that class
of public morality which the senator had
so beautifully described and which (as
he said) was so essential to the safety and
perpetuity of republican institutions. It
might have been forgery.* There were
instances of such political forgeries about
the time of presidential elections, such
as the Morey letters but he was
glad the leaders of the democratic party
had apparently reformed, and that now
at least, on the anniversary of the Battle
of New Orlcaus, there was some evidence
of allegiance to the principles of "the only
real democrat he had ever heard uf, Gen-
eral Jackson.
Voorhees—If the Dudley letter is a
forgery, why is it he has not brought his
libel suit agaiist the New York papers to
a trial.
Edmunds—If Dudley has any libel
suits and does not prosecute them, the
defendants are entitled to have them dis-
missed. This letter (assuming it ;to be
genuine) was an offence, I take it, against
the laws of Indiana aud if this letter of
Dudley's was used or attempted to be
used to coirupt voters, where is the ma-
jesty of the law in that noble state. In this
connectionBdmunds commented upon the
failure of a democratic United States
district attorney before the change of ad-
ministration, "to bring the matter to the
attention of the grand jury." "That
democratic official," he said, "having ap-
parendy done his whole duty in sifting
and preparing evidence, saw such a flood
of light that he did not care to have any
more hand in the business and resigned."
He intimated that the Dudley letter
might have been suggested or initial
ted from one which had been sent
out by Mr. Whitaker, of Martins
viile, chairman of*tbe democratic county
committee on the 7th of September, 1888,
ind which was recently published in an
editorial in the Terre Haute Express
The Dudley letter seemed to be the child
or twin sister of this Whitaker letter,
which he sent to the clerk's desk and hail
read. Edmunds cont nued: "Now this
Whitaker letter may be a forgery, but
its likeness to the socalled Dudley letter
is so perfect and peculiar that I
should be bound to say (if I were a juror)
that the man who wrote it the seventh of
September wrote the Dudley letter and
palmed it off as a letter from the national
republican committee."
Edmunds then branched off on the
question of recent political crimes in
Indiana and spoke of the forgery tally
sheets iu the Indianapolis election of
1886, for which Coy, a member of the
common council, was sent to tho penitent
tiary for eighteen months; of
how the democratic members
of the common council refused
to vote for his expulsion and how he
drew his pay as a member of the common
council at the same time he was serving
his country in the penitentiary. He also
offered no statement as to the inmates of
the poor house and insane asylum being
taken to the polls in Marion county under
the direction of Miller, a former demo-
cratic. treasurer of the county, where
every one of them voted
the straight democratic ticket.
These, he said, were some samples
of what bad hern sent to him. They
were not peculiar to Indiana, but they
had been going on as systemized, persist-
ent, organized partyfrands an the part of
people who call themselves democrats,
aid democratic organizations, which
might have led somebody in Indiana to
follow the Martinsville precinct, If so
he should be punished and he hoped the
senate would not stop until corruption
and dishonesty at elections should be ut-
terly cast away.
Mr. Voorhees said the senator from
Vermont held a brief for the attorney-
general and spoke for him. The senator
had been coached very thoroughly this
morning by the attorney-general in per
son. The Martinsville letter was noths
ing at a discount There was no such
letter. Aito the Coy case, he had been
sent to the penitentiary sor 18 mouths, by
the worst, most partisan, unfair and
malicious court organized since the days
of Jeffreys. But Coy had returned with
a pardon So infamous were the rulings
of Judge Wood's which sent Coy to the
penitentiary, that people, irrespective of
party, spat upon them and put their ban
upon them the first opportunity they had
At the close Of the discussion, the Ed-
munds amendment was agreed to by a
party vote of 31 to 24, and the resolution
thus amended was adopted.
Voorhees remarked he would find some
way to ascertain the judgment of the law
now pre-1 department on the action of its subor-

A "Moving" Story.
Chicago, Jan. 8.—A special to the
Times from Waihington says General
Crook has just returned from Mt. Ver«
■on Barracks, Alabama, whither he went
to investigate the condition of the Apache
Indians confined there. He tells a mov-
ing story of4he sufferings and wrongs
they have endured at the hands of the
United Stales General Crook was deepi
ly affected by the discovery of their mel-
ancholy situation and his recital to tho
president and secretary of war has deter-
mined them to do something to repair the
great injustice done these Indians
"They are living," said General Crook,
to-day in a policed camp with nothing
to do; hopeless and lying. Some of them
it is true are worked on the road, and
when I went to their camp some of them
ware raking up leaves. Anyone
who understands the Indian's love for
freedom can sympathize with the terrible
contrast That climate is widely differ-
ent. Arizona is a mountainous country
magnolia country;
and Alabama is a
hot and full of mosquitoes where
strong men take the consump-
tiou and die in two months."
Ninety of the children of the Apaches
were takeu from them and sent to school
at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Forty of them
died. When I went into camp the In-
dians crowded arouud me, shook hands,
pulled at my arm, patted me on the back
and hugged me. They stood aud looked
at me with tears in their eyes, too full
for utterance. They had given up all
hope, and said they never expected to see
me again. Cbato, touching the medal
President Cleveland had given him and
which he still wore ou h>s breast, said
reproachfully:
" 'I thought I got this for being faith
ful and keeping my Word,yet I am here.
'Oh, these people are in a pitiful con-
dition. All they want is a place to live
in and something to dn They w'll farm;
they will work; they will raise up their
children and have a future if they are
only given a chance,"
General Crook was asked w ho was re«
sponsible.
"I scarcely know," said he, "It was the
fault of both the army and Indian office.
