Especial Cor. to the Daily Sentinel
WASHINGTON, June S-Gossip here
for several days past has connected
Hon. John Wannamaker with the
rotten Keystone Bank of Philadel-
phia. / have hesitated to believe it,
though one naturally has little res
| pect for a cabinet official who owes
his place to large amount ofmoney
contributed for campaign purposes
| or for a man who leaves his desk and
! the duties for whose performance he
I is paid a large salary, that he may
pose before the country as Sunday
| school teacher! This example of arch
hypocrisy would nullify the effect of
| all the pious teaching the Honorable
John could indulge in for q term
much longer than the one for which
he is paid to conduct the affairs of
the Post Office Department. His al
legged peculiar business methods are
about to be inquired into, and on
yesterday he received a letter asking
him to testify under oath as to his
knowledge of the affairs of the Key
stone Bank.
Harrison has decided to take no
a conference with Secretary Foster,
who is expected back to-day. |
venture the prediction that the whole
influence of this administration will
be used to shield Wannamaker.
Leading Democrats here do not hest
tate to talk openly about the affair,
and they seem to think that if thor
ough examination should be made
"Honest John" would not come out
of it with as stainless a record as he
assumes to havel Personally have
no charge to make; politically, l re-
peat only what rumor circulated ev-
erywhere yesterday, and what's like
ly to grow more interesting as the
week advances.
