The Albdny Journal explains the story of
The Troy Times that the testimony before the Canal Com
mission seriously damaged a Republican, which The
TRIBUNE eucidated by discovering that the Republican
whom The Troy Times thought to be damaged was Con-
troer Hopkins This IL The Journals explanation: "In
answer TO the paragraph OF The TRIBUNE respecting
Controller Hopkins and tho Baxter award, 1t is enough
to say for tho present that the Controller declined to ay
the award unless the Attorney General should give q
written opinion ustifyng IL. The Attorney General did
give such written opinion and then the Controller paid
the claim upon its presentation His action Was per-
fecty right" The Troy Times, however. insists
that The TRIBUNE has not got ut the worst
OF the case, declares that the irrcgulartics
overlooked, but that rumor says that ugly revela-
ons are to DO made and Issues this warning: Though
II Is apparent that studious effort will be put forth In
certain quarters TO suppress them, In the OF
Their exposure to excuse or palate them yenla Of
lenses s We believe II is the duty q: Republican jour
mails TO place themselves In attitude Whereby they
can defy tho threatened danger and welcome tho ex-
press and people TO deal stern and noxblc Justice
to all who violate the confidence that has been roposed
In lheV honor and integrity"
