\ BREEZE is filling the sails of the Repub-
lican ship in this state in the bitter attack
made upon Chairman Cooper by Congress.
man Bayne's Pittsburg Penny Press. The
article declares that it would be a grave mis-
take for the convention to re-elect Cooper
state chairman, and it charges him with
never having properly accounted for all the
moneys that came into his hands for party
purposes. 1t further asserts that he was and
is cheek by jowl with the syndicate that
fattened oil the soldiers orphans, and their
legislative defender on all occasions. To
which Senator Cooper, on being interviewed,
returned a complete denial. With regard Ia
his failure to audit the party accounts, he
declared that the work was necessarily
secret, and the chairman should control the
expenditure of all funds. As to the outlay
in campaigns Senator Cooper said: - In the
Baily campaign of lsSl $4,000 was spent
the Beaver campaign in lSS2 cost about sGj,.
O00 and the Niles and Livsey campaign in
1855 cost about S2l 600. In 1884 $4,000 was
expended in the Blaine campaign, and in
1855 Sl9, 900 was required to secure the cleo
tion Of Quay" This preliminary scrimmage

THE malicious story that Senator Jones,
Of Florida, had been absenting himself from
the sessions OF the Senate, owing to "A hope
less intstuation for young lady III Detroit
has at last been overtaken by its contradic.
ton. IL has been learned that he went thither
to look after a new manufacturing enterprise
in which he had embarked, and also for the
recuperation of his health. The gentleman
who made the investigation at the personal
request of several of Senator Jones' friends,
thus disposes OF the story about his absurd
devotion to Miss Palms alt was started by
a well known Detroit sporting man named
John Devass, who had been forced to close
his pool rooms by Mr.. Thompson when he
was mayor last year, and who has sworn
vengeance on that official Senator Jones
was invited to Detroit by Thompson, and,
naturally, was introduced to the members
Of the first society by him. Among those
with whom he came in contact was the father
of Miss Palms at whose house he attended a
social gathering with other noted people,
forming simply passing acquaintance with
the young woman. Devass then got even
with Thompson, at the expense of his friend,
| the senator, by circulating these stories
| about him. As for his falling in love with
| Miss Palms. and prosecuting and annoying
| her by his persistent efforts to meet her, a
| reported, there is not one particle of truth in
the story, and about the report that he was
after to young lady for her money, why the
senator knows as well as | do that the
young woman's father and mother have sep
arated, and that the old gentleman's reputed
mi lions are involved in the courts, and the
| litigation will probably not be settled till
| long after Jones' death" When such cruel
falsehoods are allowed to be freely circula.
lated against men in public place, the lowly
in life have good reason to rejoice that they
| never rose to high station.
