Michigan Has Several of Them on Hand Now. Prospects for the Next Campaign—The Senatorship Contest—Detroit Club Banquet. Correspondence of The Evening Star, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 8, 1894. When Gov. Rich announced six weeks ago that the amendment to the state con- stitution increasing the salaries of the state officials had been made to appear to have received a majority vote by a wholesale doctoring of the returns the impression pre- vailed that in some manner errors had crept into the canvass. The investigation which followed showed that the errors were so numerous and systematic that they could not have been made through carelessness. Then the grand jury was called to probe the matter to the bottom and the grand jury has returned indict- ments against State Treasurer Hambitzer, Secretary of State Jochim and Land Com- missioner Berry, who constitute the state board of election canvassers, Attorney Gen- eral Ellis and six others of minor import- ance. The indictments charge fraud, con- spiracy, altering and defacing official doc- uments, forgery and various other wicked- ness. The most serious charges are made against Ellis in four indictments, but the other three officials are deep enough in the mire for all ordinary purposes. The per- sons under indictment have been arraigned and have given bail and the trials will be a feature of the March term of the Ingham county circuit court. Following the election frauds still fur- ther scandal in official circles has devel- oped. The state treasurer, secretary of state and land commissioner constitute the state board of auditors and they are also members of other state boards. An inves- tigation of their records show that they have been making heavy drafts upon the state treasury in a manner not sanctioned by the law or constitution. The constitution expressly provides that these three officials shall not receive any perquisites or fees. An investigation of their accounts sho’ that they have systematically made heavy charges against the state for mileage, trav- eling expenses and hotel bills. Mr. Ham- bitzer’s home is at Houghton and Mr. Jo- chim’s at Ishpeming, both in the upper peninsula, while Mr. Berry lives nearer the seat of government. It appears from the records that the three officials charged double and in some instances treble for substantially the same service. For in- stance, they met on April 25, us state can- Jvassers, on April 24 as state auditors, and PO LITICAL SCANDALS a few days later, as members of still an- other board. They charged traveling ex- penses and hotel bills in full for each meet- ing. They charged six days’ hotel bills in each instance, and the railroad expenses were triplicated, making a rich rake off for nominal services. These charges of fraud against the state treasury have not been formally investigated as yet, but doubtless will be in the course of time. When Gov. Rich announced the election frauds he demanded the resignation of the three officials who constituted the canvass- ing board, on the ground of gross careless- ness and neglect of duty. The officials le- clined to resign, and after a formal hear.ng the governor removed them. They appealed to the supreme court, and the court will hear the arguments upon the governor's “Rphae of removal on March 6, and a week =e] it is expected, will pronounce judg- ment. ‘The scandals of the present administra- tion will inevitably have an effect on the next state election. Before they became known it was conceded by democrats and republicans alike that the old ticket would be renominated by acclamation and would undoubtedly sweep the state. It is differ- ent now. The election frauds are of such an exasperating nature and there is such a feeling against the perpetrators and all con- nected with them that the republicans, while still claiming that everything will gO their way, are no longer figuring on such a tremendous victory as they fondly im- agined two months ago would be theirs in November next. If the frauds do not turn republican voters over to the democracy, they will create a lukewarmness which will result in a heavy stay-at-home vote. The republicans hope to counteract this feeling in @ measure by making a sweeping change in the ticket. It 1s possible that Gov. Rich may be renominated, and also one or two of the minor state officers, but a complete change will be made in the other candi- dates. If Gov. Rich pulls through, the three officials he appoints to succeed the secre- tary, treasurer and land commissioner, will go through with him. The opposition to Gov. Rich 1s, however, developing consider- able strength. While he made the expose of the scandal and demanded justice, it is claimed that the odium of the scandal clings to the entire administration, and that the | Party’s salvation in the state demands a clean sweep and a fresh start. The oppo- sition to Gov. Rich is centering around Mayor Pingree of Detroit, and while the Pingree boom has not as yet assumed defi- nite proportions, it is rapidly taking form. At the Michigan Club banquet in Detroit on Washington's birthday the Pingree boom was given quite an inflation, and in a quiet way it has since been steadily swelling. The Senatorship. The next legislature will elect a United States Senator to succeed Senator James MeMillan,whose term will expire. Senator McMillan did not attend the banquet, but he was on the ground, and before leaving for Washington admitted that he would be a candidate for a second term. Incident- ally it became known that S. S. Olds, private secretary to Senator Stockbridge, would manage his campaign. Mr. Olis is one of the shrewdest legislative worke:s in the state.

In both cases he knew to a dot just how the members- elect of the legislature stood, and his figures were proven correct by the results, Mr. Olds will not be Senator McMillan private secretary, but his campaign man. ager only, and his work in setting up the pins and in distributing campaign ammuni- tion where it will do the most good will be an important factor in the election, espec- jally in the election of the members of the legislature. ’ The Michigan © Banquet. The Michigan Club banquet, by the way, was not the success which it was hoped that it would be. In former campaign years the key notes of the coming cam- paign have been sounded at the annual gathering of the brethren. Upon the Present occasion the notes were weak and uncertain. Lodge, Allison and Stevens were the chief orators, and what they said was rather a general scoring of the present administration than the annunciation of Mr. Allison talked on the for his subject and out-McKinleyed the Ohio governor in demanding high protection. against the re-election of Senator Conger by an overw! vote, and two years Mr. Stevens talked of the Hawallan epi- wode, Senator Miller Defines His Position. When the democratic senate met at Trenton, N. J., last night Senator Miller of Cape May, who last week left that body |! and denounced it as being under the control of the race tracks, was in his seat an@ answered to the roll call. When asked if he was going to return to that body, Sen- ator Miller denied that he had ever severed his connection with the senate. He was @ democrat, he said, and did not intend to sell out his party. He would never go over to the republican senate, and had never said he would. He reaffirmed his state- ment of last week that rather than have the race track laws continue in force, if the republicans would come over to the democrats before adjournment, he would to seat them, in order to repeal those Eight of the democratic senators were present. — 290 Superintendent Wilbu: Promotion.
