A Senatorial Scandal.

The good name and fame Of Ale1an'
der Caldwell, the last elected United
States Senator from Kansas, are very
seriously compromised. The Lawrence
Standard prints the circumstantial de-
tails Of bribed election, and actually
gives the names of nineteen members
OF the last Legislature, with the sums
offered and paid. AS an Illustration
of the valuation of Western legislators,
the list is herewith printed:
Senator James Wood, OF Doniphan
county, wanted $4,000 for his vote, and
offered it for that sum. Felix T.
Candy, OF Jewell county, offered to sell
his vote for $1,000. E. c. Manning, OF
Cowley county, was elected to vote for
Clarke. He demanded $1,000 from
Clarke, and the same sum from Dan
Adams, OF Topeka. He finally voted
for Caldwell, having as Clarke's friends
always charged, sold out to the former.
A. Mccartney, Of Wilson county, was
elected on an independent ticket to vote
for Clarke. He voted for Caldwell,
and, it is charged, received $500 there
for. James Phinney, Of Morris county,
was elected to vote for Clarke. He
voted for Crawford on the first ballot,
then went over to Caldwell, and soon
after the election he deposited $1,000 in
bank at Council Grove! William
Williams, OF johnson county. was a
comparatively poor man when elected.
He voted for Caldwell, and soon
after erected a fine brick block in
Olathe, known as the Caldwell
Block" supposed to have been built
with money received from him! Tom
Anderson, Of Topeka, can tell something
aboutJ. L. Williams, of Jackson county,
if compelled TO do SO! D. B. johnson,
OF johnson county, was comparatively
poor man when elected He voted for
Caldwell, and since has built a fine
brick residence w. H. Peckham, of
Douglass county, was offered by the
Caldwell people $4,000 for his vote.
He voted for Caldwell, and bought
drug store in Topeka in reliance upon
getting the money. Caldwell left him in
the lurch, and Mr.. Peckham has had
cogent reasons for believing that the
old adage, there is honor among
thieves" has its exceptions. Will no.
some of the above gentleman demand
an investigation OF the last Senatorial
elcctiou2 Some Of the buying was
done by the wholesale. 1t is charged
that the Doniphan county delega-
ton sold in this way for some $1,000 or
$4,000, aud that the parties receiving
the money failed to divide as per agree
ment.
This dark picture has its light side.
George w. Wood, of Cherokee, an in
corruptible Democrat was offered
money, but refused it. 7. L. Bond, OF
Montgomery county, was offered $4,000
for his vote by Caldwell's agents, but
did not sell.
The expose has created a profound
impression, and the Legislature has
voted unanimously for an investigation

the Wheeling and Tuscarawas Valley
railroad meeting at the Court House
Tuesday night, that Mr.. Sweeney infer
entially denied that he has any personal
interest to promote by bringing said

pnrsIDEkrIAL ELECTION.

Abiding to the question which hss
been raised, whether the approaching
Presidential election must be had BY
electors chosen according to the old
spportionment Of Representatives or &C
cording to the new apportionment bill
now pending in Congress, the Boston
advertiser says that the law Of Congress
passed March l, 1892. settled the rule
for such cases by providing in express
terms that
1.-THE electors shall be equal
to the number of Senators and Repre-.
sentatives to which the several States
may by law be entitled at the time
when the President and Vice President
thus to be chosen should come into
Office. Provided always, that where no
apportionment Of Representatives shall
have been made after any enumeration
at the time Of choosing electors, then
the number OF electors shall be accord.
ing to the existing apportionment OF
Senators and Representatives"
Accordingly the Presidential cleo
tons Of 1892, 1872, 1882, and 1852 were
had according to the appointments
made under the censuses Of 1870, 1910,
1880, and 1850; and the election Of
1872 must be had according to the
apportionment under the census Of 1870,
unless the passage of the apportionment
bill should be unduly delayed, in which
case only must it be made under the
existing apportionment. The act quoted
is that which fixes the beginning Of the
Presidential term at the 4th day Of
March. These details not being ex-
pressed in the Constitution itself, it is in
the legislation Of the early Congresses
that we must look for them.

anon deal seems to have been said

A GOOD deal seems to have been said
in Charleston while the proposition to
adjourn the Convention to Wheeling
was under consideration, about certain
pledges alleged to have been made to
the people Of Charleston to induce them
to favor the call of the Convention.
We have no knowledge Of any contract
having been entered into by the people
in relation to the permanency OF the
Capitol at Charleston in the event OF
their voting for a Convention, but if
such an agreement had been made the
people Of Knawha county should be
the last to allude to it now. The
counties in the eastern Panhandle and
those in the extreme southern portion
of the State gave such msjorities as
secured the call. but if our informa-
ton be correct Kanawha county gave
5S4 majority against the Convention
The counties of Jefferson, Gilmer,
Hampshire, Wetzel and Greenbrier,
only one Of which is in the Third Con-
eressional District, carried the call,
while the heaviest majorities given
anywhere in the State against the Con-
vention were in the Kanawha Valley
in counties whose representatives now
talk about pledges made to secure their
support. Our friends in Charleston
might find some mighty interestln
resdin" in the returns Of the election
held last August.
