EX.AIDERMAN WAITE of New York,
who, when Mr.. Conkling began to get
uncomfortably close to the Broadway
railroad steal found II convenient to
absent himself, has returned and made
confession. Last night Aldcrmln
Kirk was arrested on a charge similar
to the one against Alderman Jaehnc,
and the arrest of six other city officials
for being concerned in the scandal is
impending. 1t is said that since the
days of the Tweed expose New York
has not been so worked up. Ex-
Alderman Waite, 1t is said, will make
clean breast of it and more aldermen
and eX.aldermen are dropping ont of
New York for the Improvement of
their health. 1t appears that the price
of an aldcrman's s vote when the Broad.
way railroad franchise was being con
sidered ranged from 5000 TO $i0,.
900. These figures are very good in
these days when other industries are
more or less depressed.

Charles Reilley, the Leagues Treasurer

for Ireland; making in all since it has
been known that an appeal to the

that the League has contributed TO the

that glorious support" and that the
Conservatives affect an alarmed con-
tempt for it. 1t was American assist
ance which enabled Ireland to send so
many representatives to Westminster

of American assistance that they will
be able to make an aggressive campaign

NOT A CANDIDATE,

Some time ago q paragraph appeared
in an eastern newspaper, suggesting
that George w. Childs, the philanthro-
pist and newspaper owner of Philadel-
phia, would be Presidential candidate
around whom the good men in all the
parties could rally. The suggestion was
taken up by other journals and has
been enjoying a run" which shows
that il would not be improbable that
the hint would be acted upon. of
the many references made to the matter
that have fallen under our notice not
one has contained an unkind word
for Mr.. Childs, and most Of the editors
who have said anything on the subject
have favored rather than dlsapproved
the proposition. AS matter Of course
Mr.. Childs would not be q candidate;
his field Of usefulness is much broader
as the energetic and generous proprietor
OF rich newspaper than It wonld be
as President Of the republic, and he
knows il. 1t mas been long understood
that the net income from the Philadel-
phia Ledger is 81 900 day, and tie pro-
prietor devotes himself to the wise ex-
penditure Of this money, a fair per
centage Of which goes to charitable
purposes. Such a man as Childs has
no time to be President, and no DISPOSE
ton for the work. His course and in
clinations are in an entirely apostle
direction. The friendly urging in the
papers has finally called forthllrom Mr..
Childs an expression on the subject.

Since writing the above the wire
brings US the information that the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections has decided to report sd-
versely TO any investigation of the
charges of bribery in connection with
the election Of Senator Payne. The
committee claims there is not sufficient
evidence to prove that money was used
in the election, and is confident that
the result was not in any way affected,
by improper means. There will be
a minority report favoring an
investigation, but doubtless the
matter will be dropped here.

THE OHIO ELECTION FRAUDS.

There has been lack of energy mani
tested on the part Of the Senate Com
mittee on privileges and elections to
investigate the charges of fraud in the
election of Senator Payne, of Ohio The
matter now, however. is being pushed
with such vigor by the Republicans tbs,
the committee viii be forced into an
investigation. On the 18th insr.n,
Congressman John Little, of Ohio an
peared before thatcommittee and stated
that he could give ample proof that the
election OF Senator Payne was secured
by corrupt means; and further he
could prove First, that Oliver "
Payne, w. B. Thompson and Jobn
Thompson spent 500, COO at Columbus
to influence the Legislature. Second
that ex-conRressmsn Dave Paige spent
s6s.ooO to elect Payne men to the Lee;;s;-
iatuTe and to Influence members after
they we're elected. Third. that John r
Mclean, Of the Cincinnati Enquirer
spent $i00.00O in the same line.n' This
would make s265. 900 that has been used
to secure the electionNof Payne. Con-
gresham Little submitted number of
afiidzvits to sustain his charges and
promises more evidences in few days.
If this matter is pushed. it is not
unlikely that the defense of Payne will
be similar in character to that made by
Judge Jere S. Black In the Belknap
bribery case. In that case Judge Black !
made scathing denunciation OF the
prevalence Of Official bribe-taking, but |
weakened the force of the charges |
made against Belknsp by proving that
his clients offense was no except |
ional crime, but that bribery
was quite common among officials
OF the government. May not the fear
Of the Senate committee on privileges |
and elections that the investigation of
the Ohio election frauds would lead to |
the uncovering of many other frauds in
Senatorial election contests, account |
for their lack of energy in instituting
vigorous inquiry into the Ohio case? 1t
is 10 be feared that Payne Is not the
only Senator who has secured his seat
by fraud in this pure Republic of ours.
