The Pan.Electric sensation started

years ago, when there was no Demo
cratic President or Cabinet, and when
Garland, Lamar and al! other parties
interested were as free to enter into
such an enterprise as Mr. Pulitzer was
70 purchase the foundation OF The
World newspaper on which he hs,
built such brilliant monument to
journalistic success.
Until it can be shown that Secretary
Lamar or Attorney-General Garland
have used their official positions to
promote private business enterprise,
the whole pretended exposure is sim.
ply an empty sensation; and when it
comes to the point, il it ever shall
that the private interests OF johnson,
Lamar and Garland conflict with the
interests of the Government, or when
they may be fairly presumed to be EN-.
ploying official power to aid their pri.
vate business or to injure the business
OF others, it can be safely assumed
that Pan-Electric officials and share.
