lFrom an editorial In the Cincinnati Commercial
con Richard Smith, Mr.. Halstead's business
partner.l
Mr.. Halstead's appointment as minister to
Germany was rejected, not because of his
unftness for the place, for that ques ion
never was and never could be raised. He
was rejected because, as an editor. he hon
estly criticised the methods by which men
were elected to the United States Sem
ate.
The origin Of this matter was the election
of Henry b. Payne. That was not Repub-
lican contest, but Democatic fight. George
H. Pendleton was the known Democratic
candidate in Ohio. The legislature was
chosen with reference to his election. When
the legislature had been chosen Payne, with
his money backing, appeared In the field.
He bought Pendleton's men and was elected.
Everybody knew that then, and everybody
knows 1t now. There Is not an intelligent
man in Ohio who does not believe and does
notknow that Payne was elected by fraud.
The subsequent legislature was Republican,
through the defeat of the most gigantic
frauds ever undertaken in the State upon the
elective franchise.
An indictment was framed and the United
States Senate was asked to inquire into the
methods of Payne's election. This became
party measure. 1t was sustained by the
Republican press. 1t had the sympathy OF
went TO the United 5lape9G5ets. of Ohio. 1t
encountered the opposition Of the Republi-
cans who were in the same boat with Payne;
Of men who disgraced their seats then, as
they do now, and the investigation was de-
feated. These joined with him. They were
plainly threatened. Rascals are natural
towards. The Senators who are there by
fraud are towards. They joined hands with
Payne, and there was no investigation. The
very thing that an honest man would have
demanded was defeated by the votes Of men
who owe their seats in the Senate to the use
of money.
What the Commercial Gazette said in the
whole controversy was the truth. 1t was the
truth when 1t was written. 1t Is the truth
but 1t was the truth all the same.
For this Mr.. Halstead was defeated, and
for no other reason. There was no pretenee
Of objection to him on the ground Of fitness.
He was rejected by senatorial frauds, be-
cause he had the courage Of his convictions
and was not afraid to tell the truth. The re-
suit, therefore, cannot hurt him, but Is
bound to hurt guilty senators.
Payne thinks the defeat of Halstead has
indicated him. This Is bosh. To do that
would require the defeat Of nearly all the
editors in Ohio and Of such Democrats as
Allen G. Thurman. But he Is not satisfied
with this, and he proposes, in order to a
| further vindication, to be a'candidate for re-
| election to the United States Senate. He
| has right TO do that. We decidedly favor
| 1t. We dare him to make that test. Appeal
| to the people Of Ohio and investigation will
| not be stihed.

busy attempting to seal up the vessel, but the
waves washed oyer her, washing away the
lime as fast as it could be applied. They
kept desperately at work, however, until the
next day when they succeeded in properly
sealing up the schooner. The cargo was
badly afire and with no provisions and no
boat the prospect was anything but cheer
fui one. At noon of the seventeenth, however,
sail was made from aloft and signal of
distress set. The stranger. bark name not
