The Presidency Bought and Sold.

That the Republican party bought
the presidency In 1888 has now been
confessed by three high authorities in.
side its own ranks. The first proof Of
purchase was furnished In the famous
Dudley letter, the most incriminatinp
passage OF which the was the following:
divide the floaters into blocks 81
five and put trusted man with neces-
sary funds In charge Of these five and
make him responsible that none get
away and that all vote our ticket"
There was never any doubt about
what this letter meant. 1t revealed q
plan for buying a Republican majority
in the State of Indiana. The second
confession of buying the presidency
was made by Mr.. Ainsworth on the
floor of the Assembly on February 27.
1859, when, In defending the "dealH be.
tween the Republicans and Governor
Hill over the ceiling job, he said:
1--WE ought not to have left it in the
hands Of Commissioner Perry, and let
the politics take care of itself, and we
would have had Democratic Presi-
dent instead of a Republican If we had
done it." .... ~.
The third and most sweeping con-
fession of all was made by the Tribune
on Feb. IA, 1890, in the following state
ment:
"Many people fancy, because Cover
nor Hill carried New York when Presi-
cent Cleveland was defeated, that plu-
rality or the voters of the State would
support him again. But in that con-
test, as people here we'll know, Hill
succeeded only because he was able to
sell a Presidency for a Governorship."
There Is no longer any denial by
either Hill Democrats or Republicans
chat these are truthful statements of
the manner by which General Harrison
was elected President Of the United
States.-N Y Evening Post.

dAys's Of labor It will require 10 earn
that number Of dollars of debt 1t owes.
Perhaps as q people we have not suf-
ficiently considered these elements OF
