Republican politicians Of Indiana and

says:

that some truly astonishing effects have
been produced upon their minds by the
Worlds exposure Of SATURDAY.
The mind of Mr. Lindsey IS temporarily
paralyzed. - haven word 20 say, ne

upon me suddenly and ] was much sur
prised
On the mind of Treasurer Huston the
effect seems % have been % Oohterate the
line of distinction between truth and false
hood. For Mr. Huston declares that he
wrote 70 Lindsey that he would talk with
the President about the scheme he meant
the President Of a local club out M Indiana.
and AIR Huston did not mean anything OF
the kind, as anybody may see by looking al
his letter. He also declares that Lindsey $
scheme. as presented TO him. was purely
philanthropic and free from any political
or pecuniary significance whatever and
here again Mr.. Huston makes statement
which his own letter coutradicts Here IS
the letter as he wrote it;

Does any man in his senses believe that

letter written in Washington mean the
President of an Indiana Club. Does Mr..
Huston expect any sane man 10 believe
