the noble statesman who so grandly
stood at the helm OF our ship of State

people were struggling for the pos
session of their government. Like
our Greensbnrg friend, we make no
special claim for voicing the senti-
ment of our people, and feel glad to
know that this deserving patriot now
has fair chance of receiving the
homage q grateful people entertain
for him. All over the State the pa-

ination. Let us hold to the man who

Throughout the several Departments the

this subject well-informed Treasury OIL
cial said he had looked in vain for the eiec-
ton Of a single congressman due to the eX-

forced from the Government employees en-
cept in Virginia [and here the election OF
seven Democratic congressman will not
furnish a quid pro quo for the money al
legged TO have been used for Mahone-Ar-

no redress or method of investigation as to
the manner in which the money was dis
posed OF. The employees were told that
their money was to be used where il would
do the most good. A great many persons
accuse the Hubbell committee OF squander-
ing the money. II is said that coupes were
hired, and cigars, lunches, and liquors were
provided for those employed by the COM
mittec, all OF which were paid for out OF
'the assessment fund. An effort will he
made to have the disbursement OF the fund
Investigated.
