Now, reader, we have uncovered to
your gaze, and for your consideration,
some Of the damnable rottenness of
some of the leaders in that "great
party of progress, morality and re-
form"--and we have only told you a
little bit--have just given you peep
at the corruption. We could unearth
much more, and some of it right here
at home-for instance, trying to buy
off opposition papers at 500 apiece
but we have given enough to show
to honest people that there must be
change: that vote tor the "old
crowd" means vote to continue the
reign Of corruption, in state and ma
ton.

THEY COME HIGH,
BUT WE MUST HAVE 'ENI!''
MORE ABOUT THE SALE OF POST.
OFFICES.

Our article on the sale Of postoffices
last week, created quite bit of ex
element in Greeley, and especial.
about the Greeley postoffice.
When the writer carried the paper
to the postoffice, Thursday evening
we were met by man wht
was very angry over the Statement
that an old soldier at Westphalia ha(
said that an old gentleman had tolt
him certain things mentioned in the
article. The old man proceeded to cal
us liar and many other nice names
and when we told him that our infor
mant was his son-in-law, d. j. Math.
eny, he said Matheny was a ID
liar, and so were we, and if we said
anything more about him, he would
annihilate us, or words to that effect
He said, too, that Matheny did not tell
us any such thing. Mascho also said
that Matheny was drunken fellow
and his word was worth nothing at
his Westphalia. On Friday
morning, we took the train for West
phalia, taking a copy of The News.
We read the article to Mr.. Matheny,
then gave the paper to him, and he
read it. After reading it, he said,
you stated it just right. You have
told the facts in the the case, and I'll
testify to it," We asked him if he had
any objection to saying so in writing.
In answer, he took pen and piece of
paper and wrote the following:
"WEsTpHALIA, KAN. Oct. II, 80.
"The statement The GREELEY News
of Oct. 16, 1890, made in regard to
what told the editor is true, and my
part am willing to testify to at any
time. regret to have to make the
facts public, on account of family con-
nection, but, in order to let the people
know the truth, am compelled to.
I'D. j. MATHEW"
AS to Mr.. Matheny's character and
record for sobriety, truth and veracity,
we would ask any one to inquire Of
any citizen of Westphalia, in good
standing.
But, the postoffice- buying fellows
and their henchmen are mad. and
they will stoop to anything to try to
blacken the character of those stand
up for truth and decency. The outfit
has been heard to threaten the editor
of this paper with personal injury.
Some of them were heard to say that
"Champe works i'm his office almost
every night, and that's the time to do
him up-nobody would ever know
who did it," We wish to say that
Champe will be found in his office al
most every night, as usual, and, fur
Their, that he won't be waylaid. just
remember that.
Now, we wish to say that we have
furnished all the evidence necessary
TO show that money was used to Sc
cure the Greeley postoffice, but we
have other evidence yet in reserve.
We also have evidence that signatures
were secured to Mascho's petition by
misrepresentation.
But, enough about the Greeley post

Mr.. SanaI. W. Reed,
Westphalia.
DEAR SIR:
Yours Of the I'd inst, with copy Of
affidavils, is at hand. The affidavit,
are very damaging to the good name
of Mr.. Moody. l have asked him to
straigbten the matter out.
| am truly
E. III. FUNSTON.
Now what do you say? Did not
Funston have the evidence before
him in the affidavits Of men he had
known for years, and knew to be re-
sponsible and reliable, that Moody
was Offering to sell the postoffices, land
names of parties to whom he offered
to sell? Yet, did Funston make Moo
dy "straighten the matter OUT? Did
he not appoint the very men Moody
offered to sell to? But, it is demand
ed that proof be made that money was
passed-actually paid. 0, no! that is
not necessary. That might be hard
to do. But when the Greeley postof-
flee investor had to take his friends
and relatives, at home and abroad, in
to the secret of how much he paid for
this postoffice; and when such men as
Messrs. Orion, Reed and McElfresh
declare positively that DR.. j. B. Jones
said that Moody offered him post
office for $25, and that "the Doctor
here (meaning DR.. Kirkpatrick) can
have the Westphalia postofice for
$780," and Funston acquiesced, need
more be said?
We can show some twenty other
letters from Funston to soldiers whom
he had led to believe he would favor
in appointments 10 postoffices, but
basely deserted and deceived them
also, other affidavits that relate to
crookedness with parties whose
names have not yet appeared-but
they may yet.
AS to the affidavits we present this
week, we would say that if any one
doubts their genuineness, they can be
seen at this office, together with the
written testimony of Mr.. Mathcny.

will not be questioned. Jere Orion is

EDISON BURNED OUT.
The Pearl Street, New, York, Light
Station Destroyed This
Morning.

Fire destroyed this morning the Pearl
street (New York; station of the Edison
electric light system. The building was
at Nos 255 aud 257, and was only door
or two below Fulton street.
The flames were discovered just before
six o'clock. The traffic on the ''L' road
and on the streets was then very heavy
men thronging to the scene of their daily
labor.
The locality is a dangerous one for q
fire, and the flames spread to several ad-
joining business houses despite the
efforts of the fremen, and did q
great deal of damage. The Fire Depart
ment labored for fully four hours before
they finally had the flames under control
The total losses will aggregate nearly
$200, 900.
There were five men in the building
when the fire broke out a few moments
before six O'Clock. Two of these were
in the dynamo room on the
Thornhill was in the Office
and Engineer Carlin and the firemen
were downstairs in the beiler-room
Everything was working well, when sud-
denly one of the eight dynamos in the
rear of the big room began sputtering
and Wh1rr1ng around IN most startling
manner. In ah instant it was envelopth
iu mass of flames which sptead wide
rapidity to the surrounding floor and
wall, and the dry wood began to blaze
furiously.
The men stretched line of hose, but
could make no impression on the
flames. The nightwatchman, meantime
summoned the Ere Department. Three
alarms were sent out and large
force gathered; but it could do nothing
to check the flames. 1t was nearly nine
O'Clock when the fire was under
control, and then numerous other
warehouses and their contents had
been badly damaged, among them the
lamp house. of S. M. Aitken q Co., the
cabinet factory of William Schwartz
waelder and George Beck's jewelry store.
In addition to all this the result of the
fire is that most of the great Office build
ings, banks and financial exchanges in
the lower part of the town are to-day in
darkness, for they have depended for
years on the Edison Company for their
light, and this mornings disaster has ex-
tinguished every one of the $4,000 incan-
descent lights in the district.

DEATH OF A PASTOR.
Rev. Irving Davis. of the Summit Avenue
Baptist Church.

Rev. Irving Davis. of the Summit Avenue
Baptist Church.
Tuesday afternoon, the congregation OF
the Summit Avenue Baptist Church and
large circle of friends were shocked by
the news of Rev. Irving f. Davis death,
at the parsonage, corner of Summit
avenue and Cottage street.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Davis went to Him
ois to visit his mother He returned
Christmas day. He had contracted cold
which developed pneumonia, and before
many had heard of his illness his death
was announced. Mr.. Davis was thirty
five years old.
He succeeded the Rev. d. Hughes as the
pastor Of Summit Avenue Baptist Church
in the summer of 1887. He was active
in his work, and from the beginning OF
his pastorate was popular with his large
congregation.
His health was delicate and soon after
he assumed charge of the church, he
made a trip to Europe, for its restoration.
But he was too much interested in his
work to remain away, and he returned
unexpectedly in a short time and re-
sumed his labors. He leaves a widow and
two children.
Funeral services will be held at Sum
NIT Avenue. Baptist Church tomorrow
at 8 O'Clock.

ANEW BOWLING LEAGUE
The PalInas, Elizabeths and

Be In 1t.

The new year opens with the prominent
athletic clubs at variance. A new bowl

The meeting will be held at the Astor
House next Friday. Teams OF five will
represent the clubs.
A year ago harmony prevailed and all
these organizations now in the Amateur
Bowling Association and those about to
enter in the new league were in one asso-
citation.
Toward the close Of the bowling season
the race became close and exciting. The
clubs were meeting on neutral alleys,
having finished the series at home.
The teams of the RosevilIe A. G.. and
the Elizabeth A. G. were to play on the
Palma Clubs alleys.
There was intense interest in the con-
test and q vast amount of money had
been waeered on the result Eyerything
was serene until the selection Of the
umpire.
The Captain of the Elizabeth Club in
vited DR.. M. H. Carpenter, of the Palma
Club, to offlciate He consented.
The captain of the Roseville Club de-
clined to permit Dr. Carpenter to serve A
scene followed; hot words were exchanged
and the Palma Club was thus drawn into
the disagreement, as their members had
been rejected when the bowling associa-
ton association was formed this year.
The Rogevilles were rejected and the
New York and the Orange Clubs
refused to enter, as they maintain
the Roseville captain was right and had
been ignored by the Elizabeth's Clubs

THE BIG ARBITRATION.

Ex-Gov. BedIe Still Trying to Argue
Away the States Case
Before Arbitrators Dillon and Stevens
this morning, Ex-Governor Bedle con-
tinued his argument on behalf of the
Norris and Essex Railroad Company to
determine the amount of taxes due the
State from it.
The principal question argued was
whether equipments should be deducted
from the net proceeds or not.
The gentlemen ceased the discussion
at half-past twelve O'Clock and adjourned
for lunch.
1t is believed that Attorney General
Stockton's reply to this argument of ex-
Governor Bedle will occupy several days
and will be very exhaustive.
