DESPICABLE CAMPAIGN
METHODS.
The Journal CircuIates Lies and Then
Refuses to Publish the Proofs OF
Their Falsity.

The Eysning Journals great boast is
that it never refuses a man whom it ac-
cuses an opportunity to be heard in its
columns; that if it afronts by anything it
publishes, the afronted party is always ac-
corded an opportunity to defend or explain,
and that its columns are open for the de-
Tense or explanation. That the Evening
journals great boast is an empty one, and
its noisy assertion Of fairness is a hollow
pretense, is fact tina, MIR Mark Curley,
the Secretary OF the late Democratic Con-
gress.onal CoaventiSn, had brought forcibly
to his attention one day last week. The
journal had been loudly asserting that Mr..
McAdoo had not fairly achieved his re-
nomination: and finally presented what
alleged proofs it could musterSup to sus-
tain its assertion. Mr.. Mark C1fley hap
pencd to know something about the matter,
and tse semitic the 1ou22,al statement that
showed that even on its own "facts" there
could be no possible doubt of the fairness

A Railroad story Concerning Mr.. Ed
wards That Carries its Own Proof
n OF Falsehood with 1t.

Oh E61Se0OOu Win kts
Some one brings US a little story that has
been put in very limited circulation, that
is cited to show the pretended SYM
patty of Wilbram D. Edwards. the Demo-
cratic candidate for State Senator, with the
railroads. AS it is proper that candidates
should meet every objection made against
them, no matter how few may entertain.
it, THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS takes
notice of this latest roor-back. The story
is, as far as we have been able to CLEAN it,
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has about decided to elevate its tracks in
this city; that the purpose ofthe proposed
elevation is to enable the Company to lay
four tracks to its depot in this city that
Washington street is to be tunneled to
accommodate the street traffic, and Green
street is to be closed that one of the pur-
poses OF the street closing and tunneling
is to depreciate property in its vicinity so
that ii can be taken by the railroad COM
pany at a nominal figure that the scheme
was Matched in the First National Bank,
of which Mr.. B. G. Clark, father-in-law of
Frank Thompson, the President of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, is re-
ported to be director and that Mr.. Ed
wards is wanted for Senator to help the
scheme out because he happens to be the
law partner of the son of the late Hamil-
Ion Wallis, who was at the time of his
death president of the First National
Bank.
Now the answer to all this foolish rig
marole is easy enough.
In the first place, Mr.. Benjamin G.
Clark, the father-in-law of President
Frank Thompson, is NOT A DIRECTOR
OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK,
and has not been for four years.
In the second place, Mr.. Wallis, the son
of the late President of the First National
Bank. and the law partner of Mr.. Edwards,
is so VIGOROUSLY opposed to the railroads
that his railroad acquaintance are eter-
nally firing at him
But the conclusive answer to the whole
business is that, IF Mr.. EDWARDS is
EXPECTED TO sHELP THE RAIL
ROADS DEPRECIATE THE VALUE
OF PROPERTY ADJOINING WASH
.INGTON AND GREEN STREETS, HE
is EXPECTED TO HELP THE RAIL
ROADS IMPOVERISH HIMSELF. For
about all the landed property Mr.. Edwards
owns is right in the vicinity of the railroad
crossing at these two streets. That single
fact stamps the whole story as one in
which there cannot possibly be the small
est particle of truth.
More than that ex-Mayor Charles Sled
Ter is one Of the largest stockholders in the
First National Bank. He is also one of the
Board of Directors of the bank. He also
has ss,y large property interests in the
vicinity of the railroad and Washington
and Green streets and it may be safely
assumed that Mr.. Siedler has enough
influence in the First National Bank
directory to keep the managers of that in
stiiution out of any such scheme as has
been alleged.
That puts that little campaign roor-back
in its grave.

He Hopes to Get There Some Time.

Mr.. P. Farmer Wanser, who wants to hold
two Offices at the same time--to be Justice
and Surrogate at once--is guided by a
philosophy in becoming standing candi-
date for the Surrogacy. He thinks if he
can have the Republican nomination for
Surrogate as often as it is gwen out, he
may succeed in running himself into the
Office some day. He may We can't say
that we don't hope he will. But we haven't
any idea he will do il this time. The odds
are 1000 to against him. Why7 Because
first and mainly. James H. O'Neil, the
Democratic candidate, is everywhere adj
mitted to be the best fitted man in the
county for the position. Mr.. Wanser
might have chance if his competitor was
aless competent man, or if his competency
was not so universally recognized. In the
second place, Mr.. Wanser is feeding now
at the public crib, and the sentiment OF the
people is against one man holding two
public Offices.

be made to carry it; and no strategy will

Gratis and very many Republicans of the
district warmly urged him TO get into the
race again. Mr.. Pearson made careful
canvass of the situation, weighed all the
pres and cons, and made up his mind that
he could win. So when the Fifth District
Assembly Convention met at Paramount

nomination, he stepped forward and said
