over this wire, and while occupying seat
in the House knows exactly what is going
ON in his office. This wire, says the spe-
cial, costs Mr.. White many thousands
year, while no one knows how much more
the privilege Of sitting in the House costs
him.
Mr. White said that as there was in the
article something which to hyperesthetic
mind might be used as a reflection upon
his character as a member OF the House he
would read special dispatch which he
had sent to the Brooklyn papers. In this
dispatch Mr.. White denies emphatically
that he has special wire between
Washington and New York. He re-
fers to the fact that the Tribune
article was copied in several other papers,
notably the Louisville Cotrie-Jo,unal,
which thus gave "a free trade endorsements
to highly protected lie." (Laughter.)
There was not the slightest foundation for
the story outside OF the Imagination Of a
sensational paragrapher. He states that
the Tribune Of yesterday published a de-
NAL Of the story and expresses the hope
that the free trade wing will be as just,
and see II the whole party combined can
overtale this lie which had one weeks
start. Uaughter.)
