WASHINGTON , March 7 The star
route trial was roaauud this morn
ing , The defense begin 'by. put
ting Oonqrossinan Balford , of
Colorado , on the stand. The
subject of the missing letter came
up. Belford initiated the letter or
copy be put in evidence. Ho did not
Intend to bo snppresaod. They wore
going to examine him about it and ho
wanted to road it. The prosecution
were unable to find the original letter
and a copy waa Introduced which wit
ness was permitted to read. It was a
letter for an Increase of one of Col
orado's routes , signed by the chief
justice of the state and many promi
nent state officials. Witness said the
letter had been written by his clerk
and signed by himself. Belford was
then directed to stand aside. He ap
peared to be somewhat agitated , took
his hat np and walk over the counsels'
table. Turning to the court , he said
with mnoh feeling , "Your honor I
wish to ask the indulgence of the
court and the courtesy of the bar to
make a personal statement In regard
to the charge affecting my honor. "
Merrlok immediately rose and said
It wan at his suggestion the record In
regardto Belford had been modified. If
witness had any statement to make to
the oenntry ho could make it , but cer
tainly the proceedings cf a court of
justice ought not to be interfered
with by allowing a wltneaa who hap
pened to bo a member of the bar , to
step from the witness stand to the
counsel table and state to the jury and
court what , aa a witness , ho had not
been allowed to etato. Ho felt bound
to resist It no a matter of justice to
the court , the ounce and order.
"Givoine the poor privilege , " plead
Belford , "of making a statement. "
"Thla Is not a pa olio meeting , 're
plied the court ; " re are tryingaoase. "
"I state befoie the -living God , "
aid Belford sohmnly and Indlgaantly
"that I never sw sueh clwck. "
court room , but WM
.commanding voice of tbe judge , whc
angrily exclaimed , "Gome here air ;
bring Mr. Belford here. ' 1
Belford returning , the court inquir
ed what he said and Belford repeated
It with emphasis.
"This is contempt of court , " ex
claimed his honor ; "and the court
Imposes a tine of $100 and yon stand
committed until it Is paid. "
"I will pay $500" retorted Belford
defiantly , "but no man shall ruin mj
character. "
"This ia a degree of Impudence
and Insolence which the court will no !
permit to take place in its presence , '
Indignantly exclaimed his honor.
Carpenter Inquired whether the
court had jurisdiction to Impose i
fine without issuing a rule to shov
cause.
"Certainly It has , " replied th <
judge ; "It Is disorder which the courl
can take notice immediately. "
Ingeraoll asked permission , in thi
interest of peace , to say a word abou
Bedford's feelings on the subject
Under all circumstances , rocollecttnj
thai there was about as , mnch humai
nature In people as there was ii
courts , would it not ba better for th
court to let the fine go ? He did no
think Belford meant any insult to th
court , but he had so mnch fooling 01
the subject that there might be some
thing pardonable In the natural Indlf
nation of the man whose fair fam
had been assaulted. Ho ( Ingorsol !
thought his honor , under the circuit
stances would have gone as far t
least.
"Yon have no right to use the com
as an Illustration , " Interrupted Judg
Wyllo , severely.
Ingersoll begged pardon , and too
himself as an Illustration. He kne
that under certain circumstances h
would go beyond the bonds of propr
fi oty. lie thought everybody wouli
' * * aud asked the court to take all tl
circumstances Into consideration.
' Merrlck said from what he hoard t
i' the recess ho waa looking for son
ouch statement aa lias been made ,
Balford had wanted to exaot aj fi
vindication ho would not have boi
satisfied with making the atateine
ho did , but would have asked for tl
bock which would reply to all th
waa said here. If the court wo
formally Into the oubject ho flhou
Ilka to know what paa&ad during i
coaa ,
Ingersoll declared ho had not so
Belford during the rocosa.
Divldge added he had not soon h
until his return to the court.
"As to the chock book , " said D <
idgn , "tho government will got enou
of it before the o io is through. "
"Belford's action waa ono natu
to any man of honor , When ho
turned to the court room he ( D
Idge ) had Been Belford , and of con
the fact had been reported by '
government spies , who had even '
counsel under constant esplona
What passed between them waa s !
ply this : Belford told himhe 1
erred t5 jean before the bar and
ended to request the court to allow
aim to make a slntouinnt. "
The court Bald Bolfjrd had occupied
a place of o nccqaonce baforo the
country many yearn. ( Ualford amo ,
but the court hastily bnda him to bo
seated , unying ho was not addressing
him. ) The court prccocded to review
Rordell's testimony , and said Belford
could not but know that his proposed
explanation could not bo allowed. Ho
therefore declined to remit the lino.
"Will the clerk accept my check for
the amount ) " inquired Ingoraoll.
"Oh certainly , " replied the court.
gjlngeriioll , turning to Belford , "yon
can go , I believe. "
Belford Immediately quitted the
court.
"Your honor ruled In MoVcagh'a
case that a lawyer waa a bnd witness , "
growled Carpenter.
"That was an exprcnslon of opinion ,
not a ruling , " rejoined the court.
Business won resumed. Secretary
Teller was oillod ! to the stand. XELo
testified that whllo In the senate ho
frequently called npon Brady to cocnro
an Incrcaao or oxpoditlon of mail
routes of Colorado. Never wont except -
cept to further petitions of which ho
received a largo number. Ho had
complained frequently that the postal
facilities did not keep 'paco with
the development of the country and
its immigration ; told Brady ho thought
wherever there was a settlement of
twenty people they were entitled to
their mall ; should not have asked to
hare mall expedited If ho had not bo
lloved It to bo a publ'o requirement.
Witness describe 1 the Increase of a
Bottlomant , population and railroads
since 1878
Ingersoll asfcoi if undue mail facil
ities had been granted Colorado.
Prosecution objected. The court re
fused to allow the Inquiry ; it was too
vague ; men had dilldront opinions ;
some persons would run a mail route
to the north pole at a apeed of seven
milts an hour.
Corresponding Clerk Olcott , of the
second assistant postmaster general's
offiae , testified that certain papers
called for were not in his possession
Thereupon the old struggle over pa
pers were renewed. The court said
the defense did not seem to have asod ,
diligence. If they showed they had
been refused access to tbe files , then
the court would seek to aid them ; if the
court was convinced that the defense ,
could not gain access to papers , then
the court would bring the cue to a
stand still. Adjourned.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
Indiana Will Have Her Favorite Son
In the Next National Convention. '
St. I/ml ) Pott-Dltp&tch.
Mr. Austin H. Brown , IndUna
member of the national democratic
committee , who was In the olty to-day ,
wai overhauled by a Post-Dispatch re
porter , and the following important
political outlook WM shadowed forth :
"Yea , " said Mr. Brown , "we ahall
hare a stiff and healthy fight noxtyeai
for the White House , but we are now
In better fighting trim than ever be
fore slnco 1876 , when we won and loat.
Oar men In oongreu have been tem
perate and sensible , not obstructing
tariff legislation , anil not making
thomeelres fools enough to force an
extra session of the house. "
"Will not the passage of the tariff
bill curtail the democratic Issues ? '
"Not a bit , in my judgment. The
relief it affords will be Insignificant
compared with the relief it should af
ford. The rebates are unequally dis
tributed , so mnch to , indeed , that ,
whore you will find ono man satlslidd ,
you will find twenty quite the reverse.
The democracy , by the jadicloue
ohoico of a opoakcr und a caretal ses
sion of the next congress , can force an
issue that will capture the disgruntled
elements of the radical camp , and
roach a splendid fighting position. "
' How about candidates ? "
"Well , you know that is vorj
problematical. Up to this time I have
regarded Gor. Cleveland , of New
York , a very powerful bidder for thi
nomination , but I see that ho hai
aroused the eastern press because ol
his veto of the legislative bill to re
dooe ratea on the elevated railroads
H took tk BotlUea that the com
ie had"veatl right * wfekih thin
iture could not tofleh. , He has
no donbt , Injured himself by this ii
a popular sense , because a man will
half an eye can. see that the part ;
which expects to win in 1884 mua
gnard against all expresaion of aym
pathy with corporations and monopo
lies "
"But Indiana has material ? "
"Yes , and I've no donbt the nomln
atlon will come west. Mr. Hendrlck
still has aspirations. He get
around now , but there seems to b
doubts whether ho fill altogether re
cover from his late attack. * But w
don't want any repetition of th
scenes between the jarring faction
like we had at Cincinnati in 1880 , an
so we have concluded to press n
special candidate from our state o ;
the democracy of the country. Wewll
make no demands. 83 far as Indian
la concerned , the national dem
ooraoy will bo left to make their ow
unbiased choice. We have a moi
available man In Mr. McDonald , re
speotad in all parts of the country
When the proper time comes , if tb
convention should think him entitle
to the great distinction , wo shall ac
oopt the honor gratefully and 30 In fc
success. This , you will underatand , I
rather a new position to bo taken by
atato which has a candidate who hi
been so prominently and favorabl
mentioned. But it will secure hai
mony In our ranks , will relieve lobbh
of a great crowd of retainers , and pr <
dnce a good effect , I believe , on tb
convention.
