THOSE VINO doubted, suggesting that the
ISr.uuGENcER magnifed the Importance
Of tie Jim Mason Wall Street scLeme,
doubt no longer. The advertisement Of
the syndicate, reproduced in these col
umus, has convinced everybody that there
is life in the scheme.
The State press is commercially prompt
to fall foul OF the scheme, and some Of the
Democratic newspapers advance the idea
that Legislature that would meet Mr..
M4son's ideas on the debt question would
probably do anything else he might de-
sire, including the making ola Jim Mason
kind Of United States Senator.
Let the design include what it may, Mr.
MasGu's Wall Street clients are reaching
for oul West Virginia rocket-books. So
enormous are tho stakes they are playing
for that they can we'll afford to open a
market for the purchase of Legislature.
Their work has begun.

THERE are some questions upon which
the isgi.ter and the ISTELLIGENCERd do not
agree. The scheme to sell out West Vir-
giaia in Wall Street is question upon
which these two newspapers stand to-

the ISrRLLlGESCER great pleasure to re-
print, in another column, an admirable

the case is stated with great clearness and
force. .... l.,4si
They are no mere alarmists who have
1ased the danger signal. The peril is real,
to be ayerted only by arousing the
psople to realizing sense Of the situation.

the high duty of standing between the
people and the sharks, and the 1NEELLE-
oEocER believes that the duty will be

the press has met with very little succets.

WAtuISarox. Oct. 2G-There is no
longer any doubt about the truth of the
statements that President Cleveland and
others OF the Administration contributed
2 percent Of their respective salaries for
the benefit OF the Democratic campaign
fund in the New York canvass; President
Cleveland haviag given $1,000, and Sec
retaries Manning and Whitney $3.50 each,
with others in proportion, and the army
oil clerks and employees from New York
are expecting TO receive at any moment q
request to step up and hand in their con-
tribution.
That the Administration should so soon
recede from its position as retosmers who
favor ket ping the oiIiceholders aloof from
political campaigns and discouutenancing
contributions to campaign funds, causes
some surprise. To tho men up tree it
begins to look Is though President Cleve-

allowed myself TO say word on politics

not at all authorized by me. Yet can
not deny that have said some things
which appear in that statement. Some Of
them have repeated over and over again
to my friends. But parts of il are alb
solutely false and absurd. Take for in-
stauce that called the ticket one OF mil
lionaires, save General Carr. Why, the
candidate for Attorney General, Senator
Thomas, is 4 personal friend Of mine, and
do no. believe that he is worth more
