1t will be noted that the testimony of
Metcalfe, of Stevens county. who alleges
that an attempt was made to bride him
to vote for Calkins, and of Clark
the alleged briber, differs in only one
essential particular. Clarke admits the
interviews and denies only the pay
ment of the money. There will be no
question in the public mind that Clark
is guilty as he is charged. 1t is
not likely that Mr.. Metcalfe
would sacrifice $500, and at the
same time put himself in most humiliat-
ing position, just for the sake of making a
sensation. Mr.. Metcalfe is a substan-
tial and reliable man in every way
worthy of belief, and his statement is sup
ported by every indication of probability.
1t is well known fact that the
Calkins party have been urging their cam
paign against Squire corruptly, and has
every reason to believe that Mr.. Metcalfe
tells the exact truth.

The Story Of Briber Pomeroy's Unmask-
ing in the Kansas Legislature.
Frank 6. Carpenter in Seattle PosT-ISTELLIGES-
GER, January II.
There was dead hush as the speaker counted
the parcels and announced that they contained
5000 in greenbacks. Then Senator York told
how Pomeroy had given him this money to vote
for him, He said he had had three interviews
with Poneroy and that Pomeroy had talked of
money at the first one and that he had offered
him 5000 for his vote. York told him he must
have S 600, and at the third interview, which
took place three days before the election, Pom
cry gave him s, 900 in cash and said that he
would give him 5000 the next day and $1,000
after the election. He had carried out his prom
Use as TO the 5000, and the 5000 which he
handed to the speaker was the corruption money
with which York said Pomeroy had tried to buy
him body and soul. He asked that this money
be used to defray the expenses OF prosecuting
Senator s. G. Pomery for bribery, and he evil
IDENTITY thought he was taking the place OF one of
the Lords ayenging angels when he denounced
Pomeroy and told him how he had entrapped him
into his scheme. As he went on with his speech
the convention became wild, and when the bal
lot was taken at its close there was not q man
who dared to vote for Pomeroy. Ingalls, had
been decided upon as the opposition candidate
and he was almost unanimously elected. Papers
for the arrest OF Pomeroy were gotten out, but
though he denied the alleged bribery he was too
sick to appear at the trial. and shortly after this
he left Topeka. An investigation OF the election
was held here in Washington and Pomeroy was
whitewashed by ii, but he was, / am told, again
arrested for bribery and a suit was brought
against him In the Kansas courts, and the result
OF the trial was that there was not sufficient evil
dence to convict. Whether he was free from
stain or not, do not know, but he is always
spoken of as Subsidy Pomeroy' by Kansas peo-
pie, and the story of his career has been en-
balmed in fiction, Mark Twain, in the "Gilded
Age" evidently refers TO him as his Senator Dill
worthy, and he here tells the story of his down.

An Illustration Of Indian Character
j. NJ. Snow In Spokane Review.

In way OF explanation of the Indian character,
which has not changed for the worse since 1876,
will speak of an incident that occurred to me
during the survey of the Lammi reservation
near what was then called Whatcom. In the
FIRST place, when the survey party started on the
Indian reservation, certain interested white
men who were living with Indian women repre-
scented to the Indians that the Boston man was
going to survey the reservation in such q man
ner that the Indians would lose one-half of the
land, and upon that representation they fol-
lowed the surveyors into the woods and stopped
them parley was held, and as soon as the
Indians were satisfied that the land was being
surveyed for them they not only assented, but
rendered every assistance possible.
During the progress of the work the surveyors
were caught out in a rainstorm without shelter
Their only refuge was cabin belonging to an
Indian. They removed the window castings en-
tered the cabin and remained for week The
chief of the party by accident met the propri-
etor of the cabin about a week afterward, who
asked: Ibid you go into my house," The
chief replied that he did not know. After the
Indian gave description of the cabin, the sur
veyor told him his party did enter the cabin
The Indian said: "Delate nicka sick tum tum"
U'm very sorry; it was not right.) The surveyor
then said: suppose you had been at home and
had come there in the midst OF great storm;
what would you have done?" The Indian re-
piled that he would have invited the surveyor
in. The surveyor continued. .'You were alb
sent when came to your house in heavy
storm. Would you have me sit upon your door
step with your caves dripping on my head be-
cause you were absent?' 1t struck the Indian
as | expected, and efter moments elaboration
he said: "No, no, sir; you did right and I am
glad that was able TO afford you shelter"
After this satisfactory adjustment he made
the Indian a present of $3.50, and he was the
happiest Indian ever saw. AT the same time
the storekeeper on that reservation was obliged
TO keep six-shooter and a club at hand to de-
fend himself and drive bargains. That is, in
my opinion, statement of the Indian question
from one end of this state to the other

IL viii be seen that Squire had i've more
than majority of all the votes cast, all
excepting thirty-one of the Republican
votes. and just double the number received
by Calkins. This result fully justifies
every claim made for Senator Squire
by his friends and practically as
surcs his election. His vote of
forty-three in the lower house
was majority of that body, but his vote
of fifteen in the Senate fell short of a ma
jority in that body by three votes, conse-
quently another vote will have to be taken
tomorrow in joint session and it will no
doubt be the final one. Ifevery man who
voted for him yesterday does the same to-
day he win have clear majority over all
of three.
Ofcourse, the vote of yesterday practic-
ally settled the contest. There is the bar
est possibility that in joint ballot Squire's
vote will be less than in separate session,
and every probability that it will be much
greater.
So far as there is any fear on the part of
the friends of Senator Squire it is based
upon the fact that the Calkins managers
have thrown off all restraint,
and are attempting not only by
shameless methods of coercion, but by an
even more shameless scheme of bribery to
carry out their purposes. 1t is certain
that if there is among those who voted for
Squire yesterday one or more weaklings
susceptible to corruption, they will
have the opportunity to sell
out and name their own figures. 1t is
shameful that this is true. a discredit to
the state and a humiliation to every citi-
gen within its limits. But it is believed
that all efforts will fail-there is in fact
no reasonable doubt that today's
joint ballot will confirm the verdict of yes
terday, giving the senatorship TO Mr..
Squire, and covering his enemies with con-
fusion and consigning them to con-
tempt.

and shame to the state of

1t is happy coincidence, and good omen,
that Senator Charles Fuller, who was chairman
of the Republican legislative caucus that nomi-
mated oglesby to succeed Farwell as United
States Senator from Illinois, and who has been
made chairman of the joint steering committee
for the Republicans of both houses, was the
leader of the Logan forces in the four months
contest that ended with the Generals nomina-
ton. He is said to be one OF the keenest and
brightest men in Illinois, and it is universally
conceded that to him belonged the credit or
having conceived the clever piece of political
strategy that secured Logan's election With
such a man at the helm of management Oglesby's
prospects are far from hopeless, and with
Fuller and his committee authorized to with
draw oglesby and present new man at their
discretion it will be an extraordinary thing il
General Palmer shall succeed.

Streeter, the Alliance candidate for Senator
from Illinois, was elected to the Senate of that
state as an Independent for the session In which
the celebrated Morrison-Logan contest occurred.
Elected in large part by Democratic votes, he
refused to go into caucus and for time refused
to support Morrison, giving his vote for General
John c. Black, but finally fell into line for
Morrison During his legislative career Streeter
was conspicuous for his refusal to travel on
railroad passes, returning all that were sent to
him. He made a prolonged fight, and came out
victorious, against the Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioners, compelling them to sell him
mileage tickets on the same terms given to
travelling men. He owns 5000 acres of land and
is an extensive breeder of fine stock. Even if a
majority of the Democrats should conclude to
join the Alliane men in his support, it would be
little less than a miracle If the corporations
could not WELD enough influence to defeat him.
His past record gives every assurance that they
viii not, if they can help it, allow his election,
though they have not much to gain by the
election OF "Uncle Dick" Ogelsby.
