Some Lies Disposed ca.


There are some lies aiming current
now, chiefy.a Republican newspapers of
--tEe paser sort, that may as well be jumped
upon before they get much of start.
It is related that Mr.. Wallace became
candidate at the suggestion or invitation
OF Mr.. Randall and continued in the field
at his solicitation, to be betrayed and
slaughtered. Weare not in the confidence
Of either Mr.. Wallace or Mr.. Randall
but this story may be set down as lie,
pure and simple. If Mr.. Wallace was to
become candidate for governor he was
not the man to ask Mr.. Randall's consent
or wait upon his nod.
1t IS alleged that before the convention,
about the convention and in the conven-
ton the whole power of the federal office
holders in the state was exercised for Mr..
Black and against Mr.. Wallace. This is
utterly untrue. Some Of the most con-
spicuous federal office-holders in the state,
before the convention, about the conven-
tion, If not in the body of the convention
itself, were ardently urging Mr.. Wallace .

body many Of those who were as infiuen.
tial as they were prominent in his behalf
had exercised the largest influence in their
respective localities in the selection of
federal appointees.
Instead of "a ring of Democratic con-
gressmen - debating the nomination, it
appears that the influence of the seven
Democratic congressman gave very few
votes to Mr.. Black, the representatives of
the districts of Scott, Curtin, Boyle, ,Sowden
and Storm giving him very few votes indeed
and casting most of their strength for
Mr.. Wallace.
1t is said that Mr.. Wallace, Mr.. Coke,
Mr.. Scott and other distinguished gentle
men, who did not approve the nomination
OF Mr.. Black in advance, will not heartily
support his election. This is another false
hood. Mr.. Coke announced his determin-
alton, before the convention ended, to gi i've
the ticket his hearty support. In answer
to q suggestion in Philadelphia on Friday
that bis friends should F" try y to elect the
ticket, Mr.. Wallace firmly said: ''No,
not try to elect, we riU elect it.o
Mr.. Scott telegraphs from New York that
the ticket will win. What Democratic
leader will not support this ticket with all
his might Give us the supposed name,
and see how quick he will prove it to be a
lie.
