New Orleans State One morning in
January last the World, the Sun and
the Tribune OF New York belched
forth simultaneously a terrific broad
side against Acknowledgement Gar
land, the officers OF the Pan-Electric
Company. the Secret ry of the lnte-
rior and President Cleveland himself.
Such unanimity among newspapers
hitherto mutually antagonistic was
marvellous, and he immediate effect
which they had upon public opinion
proved all but fatal to Mr.. Garland.
Congress was aroused. A resolution
of inquiry was adopted under a sus-
pension OF the rules, and very soon a
committee set to work investigating
the Pan-Electric Company and Mr.
Garland's connection with II. The
inquiry is now well nigh ended; the
evidence was pub ished from day 10
day, and Mr. Garland is proved guilt
less; but alas for the morality OF that
trinity OF metropo itan journals, the
World, Sun and TribURel
IL was established last week, before
the Congressional Investigating Com.
mittee, that the promoters OF these
furious attacks upon Mr.. Garland and
Others, were none other than the Bell
Telephone Company. The unclean
instrument they used was j. Hole
Sypter eX.carpetbag member Of Con-
gress from Louisiana during the hide
Gus carnival OF plumber and official
corruption which prevailed here dur
ing the period Of so-Galled reconstruc.
ton. 1t appears that j. Hale Sypher
is on terms OF social intercourse with
BE ]. Sgpher procured one Hill, q
disreputable and unemployed journal
list, TO write the attack on Garland,
which he gave to Bell, by whom it
was sent to Storrow, the leading coun-
sci of the Bell Telephone Company.
who had it published as an editorial
in the World, which received $4,000 for
the job. Dickerson, associate council
OF Storrow, attended ut the same time
TO the Tribune and SUR-price not yet
ascertained.
Elsewhere we print dispatch sent
to the chairman of the Congressional
committee by VIZ. Watson Van Ben
thuysen, in which he quotes from an
official report of a Congressional COM
mittee two episodes in the life OF j.
Hale Sypher, while he was a member
OF Congress in 1872. As member of
Congress he is herein proved to have
used his official position TO deliberate
Il rob the government and to levy
blackmail on individuals. This report
of the Congressional committee alone
is sufficient 10 establish the Infamous
character of the man j. Hale Sypher;
if it were not, the merest inquiry here
would bring forth cloud of reputable
witnesses to prove theft, perjury
ballot-box stuiling, subornation Of
perjury and prostitution Of office as
the usual stock in trade OF this friend
and ally of Bell and his telephone
company.
This is the man the Bell Telephone
Company made use Of II was from
this tainted source that the New York
papers procured their editorials at
second hand. j. Hale Sypher is the
paragon of virtue who would fain
smash d mocratic administration
for paltry stipend i'm the interest of
gigantic monopoly based upon d pat
ent obtained by fraud, perjury and
bribery.
