There Is u strong suspicion that the COM
mi ttce which ia protesting to investigate the
ahuses connected ~ith tho management OF the
Pennsylvania Treasury are a great deal more de-
sirous TO conceal fraud than to discover 1t, and
that their acts governed by the infiu-
ence Of corrupt Democrats. who have prollted
by the rascalities OF the Treasury Ring. just
as prominent Republicans IN this city particle
pated In the Illegal gains of the old TWEED
Ring. II the committee are In earnest in
their woik, why did they postpone any pre-
tence Of active measures until they were forced
into them by the widespread suspicion of their
treachery2 And, IL they now mean business,
why do they frtter away their time on petty
Irregularities. instead OF summoning witnesses
who can bring to light the colossal jobs which
seem TO be notorious to everybody exccpt the
Committee OF Investigation? The people OF
Pennsylvania have shown by their vote ON the
new Constitution, and the Democrats Of that
state showed by the nominations they made at
the Erie Convention, that they are tired OF Ring
rule, and Ring men, whether the latter call
themselves Republicans or Democrats. II the
Investigating Committee fail ia their duty, 1t
Will be so much the worse for them, for the peo-
pie Will understand the reason, and will hold
not only the committee but also their advisers
responsible for the failure. Everything looks
favorable for the election OF PEHsHING and
PioLETrE next month, and their success will be
the beginning of new era in PENNSYLVANIA poll
ties, in which Ring men will be sent to the rear.
